Brief explanation of income and profit (loss)

Invion is a clinical-stage life sciences (drug development) group. The principal activities during the year were development of the company’s three drug assets: INV102 (nadolol) and INV103 (ala-Cpn10) and INV104 (zafirlukast). The increase in loss for the period reflects increased corporate and R&D costs, including clinical trial activities and expense associated with the in-licence of INV104, paired with reduced R&D tax rebate income from currently approved R&D activities.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Invion is a clinical-stage life sciences group focussed on the development of treatments for major opportunities in chronic inflammatory and respiratory disease.

5 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

The Invion Group (“the Group”) consists of Invion Limited (“Invion” or “the Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Invion Inc. The Group has operations in Brisbane (Australia) and Delaware (USA). Invion Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia. Invion’s shares have been publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange since its listing on 15 February 2011 (ASX:IVX).

Activities in the year under review have been focused on the clinical development of the Group’s three drug assets INV102 (nadolol), INV103 (ala-Cpn10) and INV104 (zafirlukast).

The loss attributable to the owners of the Company for the period ended 30 June 2014 was $6,883,937 (2013: $5,174,080 loss) in line with budget expectations. At 30 June 2014 the Group has net assets of $10,159,077 (2013: $11,035,582), a decrease of $876,505. No dividend was proposed or paid during the period.

In-licence of new drug asset

On 28 October 2013, the Company announced the execution of a licence agreement with Accolade Pharma LLC for intellectual property to develop inhaled formulations of zafirlukast for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions. The agreement provides Invion with an exclusive, worldwide licence to develop and commercialise all inhaled formulations and applications of zafirlukast. A licence fee of $500,000 is payable by Invion to Accolade Pharma LLC over a 12 month period commencing January 2014.

Commercial collaboration

On 19 February 2014, the Company announced a collaboration with 3M Drug Delivery Systems for the development of its inhaled respiratory drug franchise. Invion’s agreement with 3M is assessing the feasibility of inhaled versions of its two respiratory drug assets - INV102 (nadolol) and INV104 (zafirlukast) - delivered using 3M’s proprietary pressurized metered dose inhalation (pMDI) technology. It will also enable manufacture for toxicology, and subsequently phase I studies, under an Invion-sponsored Investigational New Drug application, with the US Food and Drug Administration. The companies intend to develop both drug candidates through to commercialisation, if they prove – through pre-clinical, phase I and phase II clinical development stages - to be safe and effective when delivered by an inhaler.

Invion’s drug assets

The Group has three drug assets in development, three FDA-regulated, phase II clinical trials and two preclinical feasibility studies currently underway. The drugs that the Group is developing are:

  • INV102 (nadolol): a beta blocker (beta adrenergic biased ligand) currently used to treat high blood pressure and migraine, that is being repurposed to treat chronic inflammatory airway diseases (e.g. asthma and COPD).

  • INV103 (ala-Cpn10): a modified naturally occurring human protein which has been proposed as a founding member of the Resolution Associated Molecular Pattern (RAMPs) family, hypothesised to maintain and restore immune homeostasis.

  • INV104 (zafirlukast): a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) that reduces inflammation, constriction of the airways and the build-up of mucus in the lungs.

INV102 (nadolol)

Invion currently has two phase II clinical programs underway for the development of oral nadolol, as well as feasibility studies underway for the development of an inhaled version of the drug.

Invion’s phase II clinical trial investigating the use of INV102 in patients with mild asthma known as ‘NIMA’ (for ‘nadolol in mild asthma’) commenced in January 2014, and is operating under an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) is funding the clinical trial with a non-dilutive funding contribution in excess of USD$4 million. The study of approximately 60 patients is being conducted in partnership with Baylor University (Texas), Duke University (North Carolina), and Washington University (St Louis), is expected to run until 2015.

6 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Invion’s chronic bronchitis (smoking cessation) clinical trial is also operating under IND with the FDA. This is a phase II, double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study of INV102 versus placebo in facilitating smoking cessation in subjects with chronic bronchitis and increased cough and sputum (mucus). The study, which re-commenced in January 2014 after a change of FDA division, is being carried out in collaboration with Washington University (St Louis), Temple University and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Clinical signals from the 130 patient study are expected during calendar year 2014.

The feasibility studies for an inhaled version of INV102 are being conducted under the collaboration with 3M Drug Delivery Systems. Stage 1 deliverables include the development and validation of analytical methods for the purposes of toxicology and clinical supply; and the presentation of solubility and gross compatibility data. Subsequent to successfully completing these steps, work on Stage 2 pMDI product screening will commence.

INV103 (ala-Cpn10)

On 18 July 2013, the Company commenced its phase II clinical trial of INV103 (ala-Cpn10) in patients with SLE/lupus. This trial, which aims to generate data on the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of INV103 as a potential new therapy in this disease area, is being conducted in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern University, and Metroplex Clinical Research Centre (USA). The trial is expected to complete in calendar year 2014.

INV104 (zafirlukast)

Zafirlukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) or anti-leukotriene that blocks the action of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptors to reduce inflammation, constriction of the airways, and the build-up of mucus in the lungs. The oral version of the drug, marketed as a generic and by Astra Zeneca as ‘Accolate’, is a first-in-class anti-leukotriene and treatment for asthma, which in clinical trials has shown an attractive safety and efficacy profile when delivered by inhalation at <1% of the oral dose.

Invion has an exclusive, worldwide licence to develop and commercialise all inhaled formulations and applications of zafirlukast. Feasibility for the development of an inhaled form of this drug, forms part of the Company’s commercial collaboration with 3M Drug Delivery Systems, as detailed above.

Financial results

These Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis. As a clinical-stage drug development company, and as in prior years, Invion has recorded an operating loss for the period.

Similar to other companies in the biotechnology sector, the Company’s operations are subject to risks and uncertainty due primarily to the nature of drug development and commercialisation, and the independent audit report is written with an emphasis of matter. In order for the Company to execute its near term and long term plans, the Board may be required to raise capital sufficient enough to meet operational and program development needs.

The primary expense areas for the Group are in R&D and corporate costs. R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries and related employee benefits for R&D staff, costs associated with clinical trials, non-clinical activities such as toxicology testing, regulatory and medical activities, the manufacture of material for clinical trials and research-related overhead expenses. The most significant costs in the period were for the manufacture of material for clinical trials, the operation of clinical trials, and patent costs.

Corporate expenses consist primarily of salaries and related employee expenses for corporate staff, professional service fees including legal and accounting, compliance-related costs, as well as general overhead including rent and occupancy.

Equity raising

On 13 August 2013, a General Meeting of Invion shareholders approved the issue of 3,013,332 placement shares to directors and other related parties, at a price of 3.8 cents per share. These shares were issued on 13 August 2013.

7 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

On 21 February 2014, the Company announced the successful completion of a private placement to institutional and sophisticated investors. A total of 66,666,671 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to raise gross proceeds of approximately $5 million at $0.075 per share. This price represented a 20% discount to the five day VWAP of Invion shares traded on the ASX to Tuesday 18 February 2014 (being the last trading day prior to commencement of the placement).

As foreshadowed in the 21 February announcement, on 26 February 2014, the Company announced a 1 for 20 non-renounceable Rights Issue entitlement offer of fully paid ordinary shares in Invion to existing eligible shareholders. On 28 March 2014, the Company confirmed it had completed the Rights Issue offer and that 11,848,977 new shares were issued at $0.075 per share raising $0.89 million.

Forward strategy

The strategy for the 2015 financial year is centred on the continued development of the Group’s three drug assets - INV102, INV103 and INV104 - and its respiratory drug franchise. This will involve the progression to completion of the three phase II clinical trials currently underway, and the progression of feasibility for the inhaled respiratory drug assets. Business development activities will be geared towards maximising the potential commercial opportunities arising from the drug development programs of the Company’s assets.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

There have been no significant events subsequent to the balance date and prior to the date of this report.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Total equity is recorded at the Balance Date at $10,159,077 (2013: $11,035,582) a decrease of $876,505. The movement is largely the result of an increase in issued capital associated with the Placement and Rights Issue of February 2014, offset by operating expenses for the year.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results from those operations in future financial years will be affected by the outcome of clinical trials and regulatory acceptance in the following development plans:

  1. phase II clinical trials of INV102 (nadolol) in asthma and chronic bronchitis;

  2. the development of inhaled versions of INV102 (nadolol) and INV104 (zafirlukast); and

  3. the phase II trial of INV103 (ala-Cpn10) in lupus.

The Company has identified material risks that may impact success in the above development plans, which are considered common to companies in the life sciences/ drug development sector. These material risks and the strategies in place to seek to manage each of these risks are detailed below.

1 - Clinical development risk : clinical trials depend upon the availability of patients and regulatory approvals, and have no guarantee of returning efficacious results or proving practical or cost effective. The Company seeks to manage recruitment risk by engaging with leading clinical research groups, and maintaining constructive and open communication with them on trial progress. The Company seeks to mitigate regulatory risk maintaining an awareness of current regulatory issues and trends, and through the use of expertise in the development of clinical trial protocols.

2 - Competition: one or more competitor product candidates may be sufficiently safe and effective so as to minimise the real or perceived value of Invion product candidates, thereby negatively affecting the value placed upon our products for licensing or partnering. The Company aims to manage competition risk through ongoing market monitoring and analysis of the development pipelines and the competitor landscape.

3 - Funding risk: the development of the respiratory franchise which includes progress to phase III clinical trials for oral INV102(nadolol) in smoking cessation; plus the development of two inhaled drugs (INV102 & INV104) are the primary drivers of cash requirements in the coming 2/3 years. The Company has a structured business development program, however to the extent the Company does not find an appropriate partner for its programs, it may need to raise further funds, which may not be available when required or only available on unfavourable terms.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Company’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State legislation. Nonetheless, the Company aims to ensure high standards of environmental care. To help to ensure continued compliance, the Board and management maintain an awareness of relevant environmental legislation.

ISSUED SHARES

A total of 81,528,980 new shares were issued during the year under review comprising:

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Remuneration philosophy

The key principle of Invion’s remuneration policy is to ensure that remuneration is set at levels that will attract, motivate, reward and retain personnel to improve business results and thereby maximise stakeholder benefit. Remuneration is assessed by reference to employment market conditions, including benchmarking, as well as the relative size and nature of the Group’s operations. The financial and nonfinancial objectives of the Company are also considered when assessing the remuneration of Directors and other key management personnel. The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which is responsible for, amongst other things, determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for key management personnel. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are:

  • attraction of high quality management to the Group;

  • retention and motivation of key personnel; and

  • performance incentives that allow executives to share in the success of the group.

Given the company is a clinical-stage life sciences group, and hence is not generating revenues or profits, remuneration is not currently linked to traditional financial measures. Rather remuneration incentives are discretionary, based on an individual’s performance against the agreed operational targets and business outcomes in the year.

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The objective of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board of Invion Limited in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities by reviewing, advising and making recommendations to the Board on:

(a) Nomination

  • making recommendations to the Board in relation to Board composition, taking into account diversity objectives and the required mix of skills and experience;

  • recommending to the Board a process for succession planning;

  • recommending to the Board an induction process for new Directors;

  • recommending and implementing a process for evaluating the performance of the Board, taking into account diversity objectives and the required mix of skills and experience;

  • evaluating the performance of the CEO and other Key Management Personnel; and

  • monitoring the implementation by management of the strategic objectives and policies listed above.

(b) Remuneration

  • reviewing and implementing policies for the purposes of using remuneration to foster longterm growth and success;

  • monitoring the implementation by management of the Board’s strategic objectives and policies;

  • recommending to the Board remuneration for Non-executive Directors;

  • recommending to the Board remuneration arrangements for the CEO and other Key management Personnel; and

  • overseeing the implementation of any Company share plan or other incentive scheme (including the vesting and conversion to ordinary shares).

Directors’ fees and Non-executive Director remuneration

In accordance with the Constitution of the Company and ASX Listing Rules, the aggregate remuneration of Non-executive Directors is determined from time to time by General Meeting. The last determination for Invion Limited was made prior to the appointment of any of the current Directors, at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 15 July 2011. At that Meeting, Shareholders approved an aggregate annual remuneration pool for Non-executive Directors of $750,000. The total Non-executive Director remuneration of Invion Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 utilised $262,075 of this authorised amount. The Board did not seek an increase to the aggregate remuneration pool in 2012 or 2013, and will not seek an increase at the 2014 Annual General Meeting.

Fees to Non-executive Directors reflect the obligations, responsibilities and demands which are made on Directors. Non-executive Directors’ fees are reviewed periodically by the Board. In conducting these reviews the Board considers market information to seek to ensure that fees are in line with the market. Although the Chairman of the Board receives a higher fee, the remuneration of Non-executive Directors consists only of Directors fees, NEDs do not receive committee fees or retirement benefits. Non-executive

11 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Directors are however able to participate in incentive plans, if any, under which share Options and/or Performance Rights may be issued. In consideration of market norms and managing the Company’s financial position, the Directors resolved to reduce Directors’ fees by approximately 30% effective 1 May 2013. This reduction was maintained for the year ended 30 June 2014.

Executive Directors and other key management personnel remuneration

The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group so as to:

  • reward KMPs for Group and individual performance;

  • align the interest of KMPs with those of shareholders; and

  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

KMP remuneration is fixed, with any bonuses being paid on an assessment by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approval by the Board. The Group has implemented a bonus scheme consisting of both a quantitative element based on the Group’s results; and a qualitative element based on an assessment of individual performance and contribution during the year.

Current KMP remuneration packages consist of the following key elements:

  • Fixed remuneration – base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits;

  • Variable remuneration – short term incentives (STI) and long term incentives (LTI).

The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration for each KMP is set out in the remuneration tables below.

Fixed remuneration

Currently, all KMP fixed remuneration is by salary package only, with an election to apportion this between salary and superannuation in the form of salary sacrifice. It is intended that the structure be optimal for the recipient without undue cost for the Group. There are no guaranteed base salary increases fixed in the contract of any KMP.

Variable remuneration: short-term incentive (STI)

The Group operates an annual STI program and awards a discretionary cash bonus subject to a combination of Group-based financial and non-financial measures and demonstrated individual performance. Individual performance targets are set to represent the key drivers for Group success and are relevant to an individual’s role in the Group. They include the cash position of the Group, achievement against published milestone targets, and general performance. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to achieve operational targets but also to ensure that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances. The STI program is solely discretionary and is considered on an annual basis by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

In the period under review, following a recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Invion approved bonus payments to KMPs as recorded below.

Name Proportion of maximum STI
Proportion of maximum STI
awarded in FY14 forfeited in FY14
G Collier 100% 0%
M Glass 100% 0%
M Farris 100% 0%

Variable remuneration: long-term incentive (LTI)

The objectives of the LTI plan are to reward KMPs and other employees in a manner that aligns remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth, and rewards staff for continued loyalty. Share options are issued under the company’s executive and employee share option plan (ESOP). Grants of share options to executives and staff are decided by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Options are typically granted to vest in equal portions over five years at a specific exercise price, the first vesting period occurring generally up to 12 months after the grant date. The terms of the options, and what happens to options in the event of cessation of employment, are at the discretion of the Board. However generally, if an option holder ceases employment prior to options vesting, the options are generally

12 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

forfeited. If the options are vested at the time of cessation of employment, the option holder generally has 30 days after the last date of employment to exercise the options, unless the cessation of employment is due to death or disability. The conditions of the company’s ESOP provide that a recipient may not transfer, encumber or otherwise deal in the options.

At the date of this report there were 43,137,500 Options on issue under the ESOP. The exercise price, vesting conditions and expiry dates of these issued Options are as detailed below:

Total Options on issue = 43,137,500 Total Options on issue = 43,137,500 Total Options on issue = 43,137,500

Company performance and the link to short term and long term incentives

  • Short term incentive: rewards are issued based on an individual’s achievement of financial and nonfinancial measures and are specific to an individual’s contribution to the company.

  • Long term incentive: the exercise price of share options is set to be at least 150% of the ordinary share price on the day the options are issued, thereby linking the exercise of share options to the performance of the company. As at the date of this report, none of the options issued under the ESOP have vested or been exercised.

INDEMNITY

Subject to the Corporations Act and rule 26.2 of the Constitution of Invion Limited, the Company must indemnify each Director, Secretary and Executive Officer to the maximum extent permitted by law against any liability incurred by them by virtue of their holding office as, and acting in the capacity of, Director, Secretary or Executive Officer of the Company, other than:

  • a) a liability owed to the Company or a related body corporate of the Company;

  • b) a liability for a pecuniary penalty order under section 1317G Corporation Act or a compensation order under section 1317H Corporations Act;

  • c) a liability owed to a person other than the Company that did not arise out of conduct in good faith.

The Company has paid premiums in respect of a contract insuring its Directors, the Company Secretary and Executive Officers for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. Under the Company’s Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy, the Company cannot release the nature of the liabilities insured by the policy or the amount of the premium.

Indemnification of auditors

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Ernst & Young, as part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement, against claims by third parties arising from the audit. No payment has been made to indemnify Ernst & Young during or since the financial year.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

Litigation

In February 2012 legal proceedings were commenced against four former officers of the Company. The proceedings relate to the resignations on or about 12 October 2011 of the Company’s then executive chairman, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and company secretary; and gross payments made to these officers. Invion alleged that the termination payments were in breach of the defendants’ fiduciary duties to the Company, and contravened the statutory duties imposed on them by sections 180, 181 and 182 Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

On 21 May 2013 the Company announced that it had reached a confidential settlement with one of the Defendants to the litigation, pursuant to which the Defendant has agreed, with no admission as to liability, to repay the purported Termination Payment to the Company together with a sum representing interest and costs.

On 4 June 2014, the Company advised that the Supreme Court of Queensland delivered judgment for the Company in its case against the remaining defendants. Invion sought orders requiring the repayment of termination payments that were made to the defendants. The Court determined that the defendants be required to repay the sum of $1,071,482. The Court also dismissed the counterclaim by the defendants in which they sought damages from Invion for allegedly breaching an agreement pursuant to which bonus payments should have been paid after their resignations.

20 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

On 23 June 2014, the Company advised that subsequent judgement had been delivered in relation to interest and costs, which were awarded to the Company on an indemnity basis. On 2 July 2014, the Company advised that the defendants had lodged a notice of appeal.

The Directors consider that the risk of a liability arising out of the litigation is remote. As such there is no contingent liability recorded in these Financial Statements.

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

A statement of independence has been provided by the Company’s auditor, Ernst & Young, and is included in the attached financial report.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the year the Company’s auditor performed non-audit services. The provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001, a nd the Directors are satisfied that the nature and scope of the non-audit services provided did not compromise auditor independence. The details of the services provided and their costs are as follows:

21 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Corporate Governance Statement

Invion Limited is an Australian company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

As at the date of this Report, the Board of Invion consists of four independent Non-executive Directors, being Dr Ralph Craven (Chairman), Mr Brett Heading, Dr James Campbell and Mr Warren Brown; and two Executive Directors, being Dr Greg Collier (Managing Director and CEO) and Dr Mitchell Glass (Executive Vice President of R&D and CMO).

The Board of Invion Limited uses the guidance provided by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (ASX CGC) as a focus for the development and continuous improvement of the Group’s governance framework, policies and practices.

SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

  • to monitor the implementation and execution of strategy and performance against financial targets;

  • to appoint and oversee the performance of executive management; and

The Board’s responsibilities include:

  • oversight of the Group, including its control and accountability systems;

  • appointing and removing the CEO;

  • where appropriate, ratifying the appointment and the removal of senior executives;

22 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Corporate Governance Statement

THE BOARD

Invion has a Board of effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties (ASX CGC Principle 2).

The Board considers that its membership should comprise Directors with an appropriate mix of skills, experience and personal attributes that allow the Directors individually and the Board collectively to:

  • discharge their responsibilities and duties under the law effectively and efficiently;

  • understand the Invion business and the environment in which Invion operates so as to be able to agree with management on the objectives, goals and strategic direction which will maximize shareholder value; and

  • assess the performance of management in meeting those objectives and goals.

The Board strives to achieve diversity in its composition. The current Directors collectively bring to the Board a broad range of experience, expertise, skills, diversity and contacts relevant to Invion and its business.

The Board keeps the balance of skills and experience of its members, as well as their independence, under review. The Board considers the following to be independent Directors: Dr Ralph Craven, Mr Brett Heading, Dr James Campbell and Mr Warren Brown. Dr Greg Collier and Dr Mitchell Glass are executive Directors and as such are not deemed to be independent by the definition detailed in the Company’s corporate governance charter.

In accordance with the corporate governance charter, the Chairman is an independent Director, appointed from the Board’s membership. The Chairman provides leadership to ensure that a high standard of values, processes and constructive interaction is maintained. The Chairman is not the CEO of the Company, and the distinction in roles and responsibilities is set out in the Corporate Governance Charter.

Board Committees

To assist the Board in carrying out its functions effectively and efficiently, the Board has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee, and a Nomination and Remuneration Committee. It is the Board’s policy that each committee of the Board will consist of at least three members, and a majority of independent, non-executive Directors. Each committee has a charter which includes a more detailed description of its duties and responsibilities. The charter of each committee is available in the Corporate Governance Charter on the Company’s website.

Training and advice for Directors and access to information

It is the policy of the Board that, both before accepting appointment and continuously thereafter, Directors are provided with information about the Group appropriate for them to discharge their responsibilities. To help Directors maintain their understanding of the business, Directors have access to the members of the management team and also to employees at all levels. Directors are given access to continuing education in relation to the Company’s business and industry, and other information required by them to discharge their responsibilities. With approval from the Chairman, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, each Director may seek independent legal or other professional advice at the Company’s expense.

Company Secretary

The Board appoints and removes the Company Secretary. All Directors have access to the Company Secretary who is accountable to the Board, through the Chairman, on all governance matters.

Board evaluation

The Board of Invion seeks to promote transparency and accountability. Evaluation of performance is a key element of these goals, and the performance of the Board and senior executives is to be reviewed on an annual basis. The Board will follow an informal process of self assessment of both its collective

23 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Corporate Governance Statement

performance and that of individual Directors, and will seek feedback from management on performance issues. The Chairman’s performance will be reviewed by the other Directors. A Director whose performance is unsatisfactory may be asked to retire. Given the size and nature of operations, the Board has not yet undertaken an external assessment of its policies, procedures and effectiveness. The Board is satisfied that its performance is effective and efficient.

ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING

Invion promotes ethical and responsible decision making (ASX CGC Principle 3)

The underlying principle of the Board’s code of conduct is that ethical behaviour is required of Directors, executives and employees of the Group, as well as of advisors and consultants to the Group.

The Board has adopted specific policies in key areas, including diversity, continuous disclosure and dealing with price sensitive information, dealing in the securities of Invion, and whistleblower protection. The Board has also adopted a Corporate Governance Charter. Each of these documents is available on Invion’s website. The Group’s employees are required to sign in confirmation that they agree to adhere to the Group’s conduct policy. Invion employees are encouraged to report breaches of conduct on a confidential basis. The Group’s whistleblower protection policy provides that an employee will not be subject to retaliation by the Group for reporting in good faith a possible violation of the code of conduct.

Diversity

The Board of Invion recognises that improving diversity is important to improving and sustaining a workforce that is capable of achieving the strategic and business goals of the Group. The Board also recognises the challenges of achieving prescribed levels of diversity in a Group with a relatively small workforce.

Invion is committed to creating a profitable, clinical-stage life sciences group. The Board is committed to identifying and attracting employees, including management, with relevant experience, and its overriding principle is to treat people equally and with respect. By focusing on identifying and employing the best people for the tasks required, Invion has created a workforce that reflects its diversity principles. The Group is committed to employee advancement based on skills and experience regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, orientation or disability. The Board considers the diversity achieved to date to be a favourable endorsement of the Group’s policies.

At the date of this report, the ratio of male to female employees is 55% : 45%. The Board expects that female representation across the Company will continue in the 40-50% range for the next five years. The Board has targeted that female representation in senior management and Non-executive Director appointments to exceed 25% within four years.

Diversity will continue to be encouraged by a commitment by the Board and senior managers to model the code of conduct in all aspects of the business, by ensuring managers tasked with recruiting or advancement understand the rule and spirit of the code of conduct and diversity policy, through employee training and development, and through the continued flexible approach to work conditions.

INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

Invion has a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of the Group’s financial reporting (ASX CGC Principle 4)

Invion has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee that consists of three members each of whom are non-executive Directors. The committee consists entirely of independent Directors, and the chair of the committee is not the chair of the Board. Its members are Mr Warren Brown (chair), Mr Brett Heading and Dr Ralph Craven.

The objectives of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities in regard to financial reporting, audit and risk management, including ensuring the integrity of Invion’s financial reporting; compliance with legal and regulatory obligations; ensuring the effectiveness of Invion’s risk management and internal control framework; and, oversight of the independence of the external auditors. The charter of the Audit and Risk Management Committee is incorporated in the Corporate Governance Charter which is available on Invion’s

24 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Corporate Governance Statement

website. The external audit firm Partner in charge of the Group’s audit attends committee meetings by invitation, together with relevant executives.

Financial Report Accountability

The CEO and the persons performing the CFO function sign a statement to the yearly and half-yearly accounts to the effect that the Group’s financial reports have been properly maintained, present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Group’s financial conditions and operational results, are in accordance with relevant accounting standards; and are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board.

TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

Invion promotes timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the Company (ASX CGC Principle 5)

Invion believes that all stakeholders should be informed of all major business events and risks that influence the Group, in a factual and timely manner. Invion’s practice of providing relevant and timely information is supported by its Continuous Disclosure Policy which details comprehensive processes to ensure compliance with obligations under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. Under this policy all price-sensitive material for public announcement will be lodged with ASX and subsequently posted on Invion’s website. The Company Secretary is responsible for communications with the ASX.

Invion provides a review of operations and financial performance in its Annual Report, which includes the Company’s financial report. Announcements to the ASX, investor presentations and the full text of the Chairman and CEO’s address to the AGM are made available on Invion’s website.

RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Invion respects the rights of shareholders and facilitates the effective exercise of those rights (ASX CGC Principle 6).

The Board is committed to communicating effectively and transparently with shareholders about the Group’s performance and results. Where practical, the Group utilises technology to facilitate open and continual communications with shareholders and the market in general. Shareholders and other interested parties can elect to receive emails with the latest investor announcements, investor presentations and webcasts, the annual report, as well as General Meeting information. Proxies for meetings can be lodged electronically. Invion keeps summary records for internal use of issues discussed at group and one-on-one briefings for investors and analysts.

Auditor attendance at the annual general meeting

The external audit firm partner in charge of the Group’s audit is available to answer shareholder questions at Invion’s AGM.

RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

Invion has a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control (ASX CGC Principle 7)

There are many risks in the market in which Invion operates. A range of factors, some of which are beyond Invion’s control, can influence performance and the achievement of results. The Group takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board.

The Board has mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with identified risks. These include Board review of business strategy, the implementation of Boardapproved operating plans and budgets, and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

25 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Corporate Governance Statement

The Audit and Risk Management Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in regard to financial reporting, audit and risk management. The senior management team manages and reports to the Board on business and financial risks and overall compliance.

In accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act, the CEO is required to state in writing to the Board that the Group’s reporting is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY

Invion seeks to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to performance is clear (ASX CGC Principle 8).

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee to assist the Board in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities by reviewing, advising and making recommendations to the Board on issues of nomination and remuneration. The Committee currently consists of three Non-executive Directors: Mr Brett Heading, Mr Warren Brown and Dr Ralph Craven.

The remuneration report (audited) contains details on remuneration policy and remuneration of the Group’s Key Management Personnel and its relationship to performance in the year under review. The remuneration report clearly distinguishes the structure of Non-executive Directors’ remuneration from that of Executive Directors and other KMPs. Shareholders are invited to vote on the adoption of the report at Invion’s AGM.

Corporate Governance and Disclosure

The Board of Invion Limited considers that the above corporate governance practices comply with the ASX CGC’s Principles and Recommendations. The Board is committed to the continuous improvement of its corporate governance framework.

CEO and CFO certification

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

  • their view provided on the Group’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; and

  • the Group’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to reporting financial risks.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Invion Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares have been publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange since its listing on 15 February 2011 (ASX:IVX). Invion Limited is a clinical-stage life sciences (drug development) company. The Company is focused on the development of treatments for major market opportunities in inflammatory diseases including asthma, chronic bronchitis and lupus. Invion has three drug assets in development, and three phase II clinical trials, regulated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), currently underway in the United States. INV102 (nadolol), a beta blocker (beta adrenergic biased ligand) currently used to treat high blood pressure and migraine, is being repurposed to treat chronic inflammatory airway diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). INV104 (zafirlukast) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) that reduces inflammation, constriction of the airways and the build-up of mucus in the lungs. INV103 (ala-Cpn10) is a modified, naturally occurring human protein which has been proposed as a founding member of the Resolution Associated Molecular Pattern (RAMPs) family hypothesised to maintain and restore immune homeostasis.

The Invion Group (“the Group”) consists of Invion Limited (“Invion” or “the Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Invion, Inc. The Group has operations in Brisbane (Australia) and Delaware (USA).

This consolidated financial report of Invion Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 23 August 2014.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Inverseon Inc. (renamed Invion Inc.) which occurred during the Financial Year ending 30 June 2013.

On 31 August 2012, the Company acquired and merged with Inverseon Inc., a private company incorporated in Delaware, USA. The Company’s decision to acquire Inverseon Inc., was based on the Board’s view that a number of strategic benefits would be provided which may in turn deliver value to the Company’s Shareholders through the development of the intellectual property of both groups. The perceived strategic benefits included the opportunity to trigger a paradigm shift in the treatment of obstructive lung diseases by progressing the technologies patented by Inverseon; the ability to benefit from the NIH grant of US$4.4 million which had been granted to conduct the INV102 clinical trial in asthma patients; the ability to leverage the extensive industry experience of Inverseon’s executive; and the ability to leverage the pre-existing competencies within both groups to create a broad-based company focussed on the development and commercialisation of compounds targeting a wide range of inflammatory-based diseases.

The Company acquired 100% of the issued securities of Inverseon in consideration for the issue, allotment and transfer of 143,486,978 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, representing 37.5% of the issued share capital of the merged entity. The purchase price consideration of the acquisition is $7,174,349 reflecting the total shares issued in consideration of the acquisition at the market price of ordinary shares ($0.05) on the date of completion (31 August 2012).

The fair value of the trade receivables amounted to $72,808. This amount was received in full postacquisition.

Directors assigned the full value of consideration paid in excess of net tangible assets/ liabilities to intellectual property.

The adjusted fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Inverseon, Inc. as at the date of acquisition was:

3.2. 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. New accounting standards and interpretations, including those issued but not yet effective, are detailed in Note 3.1. The effect of adopting new standards and interpretations effective this year are also disclosed at Note 3.1.

3.3. Going concern

The report has been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group incurred an operating loss after income tax of $6,883,937 (2013: $5,174,080 loss) for the year ended 30 June 2014. At 30 June 2014 the Group has net assets of $10,159,077 (2013: net assets of $11,035,582). In common with other companies in the biotechnology sector, the Group’s operations are subject to risks and uncertainty due primarily to the nature of the drug development and commercialisation. In order for the Group to execute its near term and longer term plans, the Board may be required to raise capital sufficient enough to meet operational and program development needs. The Board considers it likely that it may be necessary to raise additional capital in the future. These conditions of uncertainty and the need to raise further capital give rise to significant uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. The Directors cannot be certain that sufficient capital can be raised in future in order to complete the programs as outlined in the Directors’ Report. In the event that such arrangements are not entered into or are not successful, there is uncertainty whether Invion will continue as a going concern and the Group may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the normal 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 Invion not be able to continue as a going concern.

3.4. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Invion Limited and its whollyowned subsidiary Invion Inc., as at 30 June 2014. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. Specifically, the Group controls a subsidiary if and only if the Group has:

  • Power over the subsidiary (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiary);

  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary, and

  • The ability to use its power over the subsidiary to affect its returns.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

35 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values (see Note 2).

The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair-value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary it:

  • derecognises the assets including goodwill and liabilities of the subsidiary;

  • derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

  • derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;

  • recognises the fair value of the consideration received;

  • recognises the fair value of any investment retained;

  • recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

  • reclassifies the Parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

3.5. Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. It is then considered in the determination of goodwill.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised either in either profit or loss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of AASB 139, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate AASB. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the

36 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

3.6. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

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:

2014
2013
Plant and equipment
Computer equipment
Furniture and fittings
10%-50%
10%-50%
20%-50%
20%-50%
10%-20%
10%-20%

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

3.7. 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. 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.

3.8. 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.

3.9. Recoverable amount of assets

At each Balance Date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group 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 pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

3.10. 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. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis.

3.11. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in the profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the income statement as the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when the asset is derecognised.

Funding right

The Funding Right was acquired by the Group on the purchase of the subsidiary and relates to the US NIH grant (USD$4.4 million) which is funding the Group’s phase II clinical trial in asthma patients. The grant is being amortised over two years, which is the period over which the benefit is received.

Patents – Intellectual Property

The Group made upfront payments to purchase patents. The patents have been granted for periods of up to 20 years by the relevant authority, often with the option of renewal at the end of this period.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale;

  • its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset;

  • how the asset will generate future economic benefits;

  • the availability of resources to complete the asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of the expected future benefit. Amortisation is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. During the development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

3.12. Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability; or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2: valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

  • Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

At each reporting date, the Group reviews and analyses any movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Group’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the Group verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

3.13. 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.

3.14. Income taxes

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

39 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

  • 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; or

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

In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences has been recognised during the year.

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.

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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

3.15. Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets and liabilities 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

  • Where 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. 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.

3.16. Cash and short term deposits

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are carried at the principal amount. Interest is charged as an expense on an accrual basis.

3.17. 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.

40 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014

  • Fee income derived from research & development contracts which is dependent on the satisfaction of certain contractual conditions 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.

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

  • R&D tax rebate income is accrued following management’s determination of anticipated R&D tax rebate income, and is based on an assessment of R&D expenditure in the period and advice received from R&D tax advisors.

3.18. Foreign currency

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is also the Parent’s functional currency. For each entity the Group determines the functional currency, and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The Group uses the direct method of consolidation and has elected to recycle the gain or loss that arises from using this method.

i) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit and loss with the exception of monetary items that are designed as part of the hedge of the Group’s net investment of a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit and loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e. translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss are also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate of exchange at the reporting date.

ii) Group companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income statements are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit and loss.

3.19. 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.

3.20. 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.

41 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

3.21. Leased assets

Leases under which the Group 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.

3.22. Superannuation

Contributions are made to approved employee superannuation funds at the rate as directed by the Superannuation Guarantee Legislation. For the period ending 30 June 2014, this was 9.25% of employees’ gross salaries. Contributions are recognised as an expense against income as they are made.

3.23. Employee provisions

Provisions are recognised when Invion has a present obligation as a result of a past event and 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 Invion 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.

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.

3.24. 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.

3.25. 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 de-recognised and as well as through the amortisation process.

3.26. 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

42 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

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.

3.27. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) attributable to members 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 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 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.

3.28. Share-Based Payment Transactions

The Group provides benefits to employees, including Directors, of the Group 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). 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 Invion Limited. 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 is treated as if it were a modification of the original award, as described in this paragraph.

3.29. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other 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.

43 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2014

Impairment

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If any such indication exists, the Group will estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the Group considers external and internal sources of information including market forces, the Group’s market capitalisation, evidence of obsolescence, significant changes with an adverse effect on the Group or its assets, and any financial projections.

Taxes

Determining income tax provisions involves judgment on the tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred tax is recognised on tax losses not yet used and on temporary differences where it is probable that there will be taxable revenue against which these can be offset. Management has made judgments as to the probability of future taxable revenues being generated against which tax losses will be available for offset.

Share-based payment transactions

The Group 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(b). 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.

R&D Tax rebate income

R&D tax rebate income is accrued following management’s determination of anticipated R&D tax rebate income, and is based on an assessment of R&D expenditure in the period and advice received from R&D tax advisors.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and making assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk, and liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts. Financial assets and liabilities have contractual maturities of less than twelve months.

4.1. Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to its cash holdings. The Group constantly analyses its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to a mix of fixed and variable interest arrangements. The Group 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 2014, 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:

2014 2013
Changeinprofit/(loss) and equity $ $
Increase in interest rate by 2% 71,991 67,108
Decrease in interest rate by 2% (71,991) (67,108)

44 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

4.2. Foreign currency risk

The major foreign currency exposure is in US Dollars (USD). This is as a result of cash funds held and both receivable and payable contracts entered into in this currency. The Group maintains foreign currency bank accounts denominated in USD in order to minimise foreign currency risk exposure. The Group had a deficit of foreign currency receivables over payables of $253,295 at 30 June 2014 (2013: $319,023 deficit). Cash held in USD and the investment in the US subsidiary, Invion, Inc., are the only assets exposed to foreign currency risk at the Balance Date. Trade creditors are the only liability exposed to foreign currency risk at the Balance Date. As at 30 June 2014, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the value of the Australian Dollar to USD, with all other variables remaining constant, would be as follows:

2014 2013
Changeinprofit/(loss) and equity $ $
Improvement in AUD by 15% 9,389 39,005
Decline in AUD by 15% (6,940) (52,773)

4.3. 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 Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments.

4.4. Liquidity risk

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

4.5. Equity risk

As at the Balance Date, there are no equity agreements in place.

4.6. Net fair values

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values: cash and short-term deposits,

45 | I n v i o n L i m i t e d Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

receivables and other assets, trade and other current liabilities approximate their carrying value largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial report.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Invion Group operates as a clinical-stage life sciences (drug development) group with operations in Australia and the United States. The Group does not currently consider that the risks and returns of the Group are affected by differences in either the products or services it provides, nor the geographical areas in which the Group operates. As such the Group operates as one segment. Group performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a Group basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

At 30 June 2014 Invion had significant estimated, unconfirmed and un-recouped losses as disclosed above. No future income tax benefit for the tax losses incurred by the Group has been recognised as an asset. Due to the complexity of Invion’s changing shareholder base and operations, combined with income tax legislation, the amount of the Company’s available tax losses as at 30 June 2014 which are available for carry forward use cannot 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 may not be available in full.

The Deferred Tax Liability represents the notional tax payable on the value of the Intellectual Property and Funding Right at the time of acquisition of the subsidiary at the US tax rate of 40%. This liability reduces as the intellectual property and funding right are amortised.

The losses disclosed as at 30 June 2014 will only be obtained in future periods if future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised; the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and, no changes in tax legislation adversely affect Invion in realising the benefit.

Description of intangible assets

The Group owns intellectual property on two drug assets INV102 (acquired in merger with Inverseon, Inc in August 2012), and, INV103 (purchased in prior years). The INV102 patents owned by Invion are being amortised over the life of the patent, which is 13 years from acquisition. The Funding Right relates to the US NIH grant (USD$4.4 million) which is funding the Group’s phase II clinical trial in asthma patients. The grant is being amortised over two years, which is the period over which the benefit is received.

(i) Consideration of impairment

The Directors do not consider there have been any indicators of impairment of the acquired intangible asset (INV102) up until the current date.

The Directors have continued to provide against the notional book value (i.e. fully impair) the INV103 intellectual property given the risks and uncertainties associated with the continued research and development and ultimate commercialisation of this asset.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

(ii) In-licence of IP

On 28 October 2013, the Company announced the execution of an exclusive, worldwide licence agreement with US-based Accolade Pharma LLC, for intellectual property to develop inhaled formulations of zafirlukast for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions. A licence fee of $500,000 is payable by the Company to Accolade Pharma LLC in equal installments over a 12 month period commencing January 2014. This amount is recorded in payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The in-licenced intellectual property is reflected as an intangible asset and is being amortised over the term of the licence agreement, to 1 January 2024.

  • (i) Short-term employment provisions represent the estimated costs in respect of current employment benefits payable to Group employees. The provision for current employment benefits includes accrued annual and long-service leave and related on-costs payable on the accrued entitlements. It is expected these costs will be settled by 30 June 2015.

  • (ii) Long-term employment provisions represent the estimated costs in respect of non-current employment benefits payable to Group employees. The provision for non-current employment benefits includes accrued long-service leave and related on-costs payable on the accrued entitlements. Due to the nature of the provision, the Group is unable to determine a date by which these costs will be settled.

(iii) In May 2012 the Company entered into a four year lease for new premises. In March 2013 the Company assigned its lease to a 3rd party and subsequently entered into a sub-lease. Further to the Assignment of the primary lease, the Company no longer has a “make good” obligation at the expiration of the lease term.

current and future clinical trials. The Board of Invion estimates the value of shares to be purchased and placed relative to the two clinical trials currently underway will be in the order of $250,000. At the date of this report, NCI had invested approximately $40,000 via open market purchase, and $65,000 via private placement for a total investment of approximately $105,000. It is anticipated a further approximately $145,000 will be invested under this SPA prior to 31 December 2014.

During the year ended 30 June 2014, no ordinary shares of Invion Limited were issued on the exercise of share options granted. The fair value of options granted during the 12 months ended 30 June 2014 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model applying the following assumptions:

Options issued 13 August 2013
Dividend yield (%) 0.00
Expected volatility (%) 90
Average risk-free interest rate over life (%) 3.04
Expected life (months) 51
Weighted average share price ($) $0.061
Options issued 10 March 2014
Dividend yield (%) 0.00
Expected volatility (%) 90
Average risk-free interest rate over life (%) 3.00
Expected life (months) 56
Weighted average share price ($) $0.076

Options have no voting or dividend rights, and there are no cash settlement alternatives. The share options outstanding at 30 June 2014 had a weighted average exercise price of $0.1186 and a weighted average contractual life of 58 months.

“Other” Options

1,700,000 share options remain on issue to SpringTree Opportunities Fund in relation to the Convertible Note Agreement signed in May 2010 and terminated in August 2011. These options have an exercise price of $0.52 and an expiry date of 16 May 2015. Those options not exercised within the prescribed period will lapse. Options have no voting or dividend rights. There are no cash settlement alternatives.

The following average inputs were applied to the option pricing model:

Weighted average exercise price $0.11
Weighted average life of the option 80 months
Underlying share price $0.07
Expected share price volatility 90%
Risk free interest rate 3.02%

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value. As at 30 June 2014 there were a total of 44,837,500 unissued ordinary shares for which 44,837,500 options were outstanding (2013: 21,050,000).

Independent auditor's report to the members of Invion Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Invion Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 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 3, 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 and fair presentation of the financial report 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.

Opinion

In our opinion:

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

  • i giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2014 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 3.

Report on the remuneration report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 10 to 19 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2014. 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 Invion Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014, 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 3.3 in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a loss from continuing operations after income tax of $6,883,937 in the year ended 30 June 2014 (2013: $5,174,080) and is dependent on the raising of additional funds to continue activities. As a result of this matter, there is significant uncertainty whether the company and consolidated entity will continue as a going concern, and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their 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 or the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
