The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity' or 'the Group') consisting of Invion Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2021.

Principal activities
The Invion Group consists of Invion Limited and, at 30 June 2021, its wholly owned subsidiary, Epitech Dermal Science Pty Ltd. The activity of Invion during the period was directed to the development of the Photosoft™ technology for the treatment of a range of cancers. Invion has been appointed exclusive licensee in Australia and New Zealand of the Photosoft™ technology. The appointment has been made by technology licensor, The RMW Cho Group, a Hong Kong based group that has developed a number of unique and advanced technologies. Via an R&D services agreement between the two entities, continued the development of the Photosoft™ technology is funded by The RMW Cho Group.
Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.
Review of operations
The loss for the consolidated entity for the year amounted to $1,482,951 (30 June 2020: $953,894).
Invion is a life science company that is leading the global research and development of Photosoft[TM] technology for the treatment of a range of cancers.
The Group’s key achievements during the FY2021 financial year include optimising its Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) ahead of potential clinical trials, broadening the longer-range opportunities for Photosoft[TM] technology beyond cancer, as well as expanding licenses into these new markets.
Invion is in the process of undertaking a circa $4.5 million capital raising by way of a share placement as announced to the ASX on 2 June 2021, as part of its Co-Development Agreement and Exclusive Distribution and Licence Agreement between Invion and RMW Cho Group (RMW). Both parties will co-develop Photosoft[TM] technology for potential applications in atherosclerosis and infectious diseases (including viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic) (Indications). Invion will have exclusive rights to the technology for these diseases in Asia Pacific (which excludes the Middle East, Russia and the specified territories of China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) (Territory).
Atherosclerosis is a disease where plaque builds up inside arteries and is a major contributor to the growing incidences of cardiovascular diseases, the largest cause of deaths worldwide[[1]] . The global market for atherosclerosis treatments is forecast to hit US$56.6 billion by 2027 and Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market[[2]] .
Under this co-development agreement:
-
for development activities that are not directly related to clinical trials or commercialisation of the Photosoft™ technology, for the Indications in the Territory, Invion will be responsible for 25% and RMW will be responsible for 75% of contributions; and
-
for development activities that are directly related to clinical trials or commercialisation of the Photosoft™ technology, for the Indications in the Territory, Invion will be responsible for 75% and RMW will be responsible for 25% of contributions

Invion Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021
The new agreement is in addition to Invion’s Research and Development (R&D) Services Agreement with RMW that was signed in 2017. Under this R&D Services Agreement, Invion is leading the R&D program to develop Photosoft[TM] technology across a range of cancers. Invion owns the Australia and New Zealand license rights to the technology and all cancer-related research and clinical trials are funded by RMW.
On this front, Invion made a significant step forward as it worked with its research partner, Hudson Institute of Medical Research, to develop an improved API, which it called INV043.
The initial Proof-of-Concept (PoC) results showed that INV043 has ~600 times greater phototoxicity than Talaporfin sodium, a widely used photosensitiser, and ~50 times greater phototoxicity than Invion’s previous API (IVX-P03).
Further, INV043 was selectively retained in malignant, but not healthy tissues, and there were no toxicity issues identified up to 50 times the therapeutic dose.
Just as importantly, significant regression was observed in vivo in T-cell lymphoma, triple negative breast and pancreatic cancer models when photoactivated INV043 was used to treat the cancers.
The initial PoC results also showed that INV043 may have dual theragnostic potential, whereby it can be used both for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. One specific wavelength of light (red) activates INV043 and causes rapid cancer cell death, while another wavelength (blue light) excites chromophore fluorescence, providing highly visible definition of tumour deposits and margins to the naked eye.
Another significant development during the 2021 financial year was the appointment of new board members and Chief Executive Officer.
Thian Chew took over the role of Chief Executive Officer, while remaining the Chairman of the Group, after Invion’s previous CEO Craig Newton announced his retirement along with non-executive director Melanie Farris at the end of July last year.
Invion subsequently welcomed Robert Merriel and Alistair Bennallack to the Board as non-executive directors in August and October 2020, respectively. Mr Merriel brings deep healthcare sector experience and strong commercial expertise to the Board of Invion as he has over 35 years of experience working in medical research (Hudson Institute of Medical Research and Baker Institute), large public healthcare services (Melbourne Health and Southern Health) and commercial organisations (Pacific Dunlop and Deloitte Consulting).
Mr Bennallack has over 30 years’ experience in business management and finance, strategic development, risk and compliance, international business, leadership and relationship management. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Village Roadshow Theme Parks Asia and Head of Risk at Village Roadshow Ltd.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable for the group to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
On 2 June 2021, The Company entered into the Co-Development Agreement and Exclusive Distribution and Licence Agreement with RMW Cho Group Limited to co-develop Photosoft™ technology for the treatment of atherosclerosis and infectious diseases. As part of these agreements, subsequent to the year end, Invion is in the process of undertaking a circa $4.5 million capital raising by way of a share placement as announced to the ASX on 2 June 2021, as part of its CoDevelopment Agreement and Exclusive Distribution and Licence Agreement between Invion and RMW Cho Group (RMW).
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Invion Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021
Likely developments and expected results of operations
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 success of management in reaching critical development and commercial milestones in its core program in relation to the development of the Photosoft[TM ] technology. This could include developing and expanding existing and emerging commercial partnerships with leading global healthcare companies and securing one or more commercial transactions for the Group’s drug asset under development.
Environmental regulation
Invion is required to carry out its activities in accordance with applicable environment and human safety regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which it undertakes its operations. The Company is not aware of any matter that requires disclosure with respect to any significant regulations in respect of its operating activities, and there have been no issues of noncompliance during the year.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
-
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
Details of remuneration
-
Service agreements
-
Share-based compensation
-
Additional information
-
Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The Group’s guiding principle for remuneration is that remuneration should be simple and transparent, should reward achievement, and should facilitate the alignment of shareholder and executive interests. The Company’s philosophy is that shareholder and executive interests are best aligned:
-
by providing levels of fixed remuneration and ‘at risk’ pay sufficient to attract and retain individuals with the skills and experience required to build on and execute the Company’s business strategy
-
by ensuring ‘at risk’ remuneration is contingent on outcomes that grow and/or protect shareholder value; and
-
by ensuring a suitable proportion of remuneration is received as a share-based payment
The Group aims to reward personnel with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities so as to:
-
attract and retain appropriately capable and talented individuals to the company;
-
reward personnel for corporate and individual performance;
-
align the interest of personnel with those of shareholders; and
-
● build a strong cohesive leadership team which can deliver execution excellence against the strategy
Remuneration consists of:
-
total fixed remuneration: base salary and superannuation; and
-
● ‘at risk’ remuneration: short-term incentives (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI).
8
Invion Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021
Total fixed remuneration
To ensure that the Company continues to attract, retain and motivate talented staff at a competitive cost, the Company will aim to align total fixed remuneration to the median rate paid by others operating in the relevant market, with consideration given to experience, qualifications, performance and other non-financial benefits. Total fixed remuneration will be reviewed using market data to determine what, if any, adjustments may need to be made to individual remuneration.
‘At risk’ remuneration
‘At risk’ remuneration elements are paid/issued following the performance and remuneration review conducted by executive management; assessment by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee; and approval by the Board.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high-quality personnel.
The objective of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities by reviewing, advising and making recommendations to the Board on:
(a) Nomination
-
Board composition and succession planning, taking into account diversity objectives and the mix of Director skills and experience;
-
induction and continuing education for Directors;
-
Board performance evaluation; and
-
the performance of the CEO and key management personnel
(b) Remuneration
-
implementing policies for the purposes of using remuneration to foster long-term growth and success;
-
monitoring the implementation by management of the Board’s strategic objectives and policies;
-
remuneration for Non-Executive Directors; and
-
remuneration and incentive arrangements for the CEO and other key management personnel.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate.
Non-executive directors' remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.
ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors' remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 15 July 2011, where the shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $750,000.
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits
-
short-term performance incentives
-
share-based payments
-
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave
9
Invion Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.
The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives. STI comprise up to 50% of fixed remuneration in cash for the CEO. This short-term incentive will be payable at the absolute discretion of the Board and subject to funds being available on the attainment of annual predetermined performance milestones.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') are offered to incentivise, reward and retain personnel, and to align the interests of personnel and shareholders. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee considers the recommendation of the CEO regarding the issue of LTIs in light of the performance, financial position and current issued capital of the company. There will be no automatic grant of LTIs. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may also offer grants of LTIs as an award to incentivise high-quality prospective employees to join the company. The terms of any LTI grant are determined by the Board. LTI grants normally take the form of the issue of unlisted share options. Share options are normally issued under the company’s equity incentive plan (EIP). All grants of equity are determined by the Board.
The Board reviews the general terms of new options to be issued. Options will be typically granted with an exercise price that is between a 40-60% premium to the market price of shares on the day of issue, and with an expiry date that is between three and four years from the date of issue. As LTIs are offered to incentivise, reward and retain personnel, options will typically vest over a number of years.
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, in the event that a holder of unvested options ceases to be employed, then at the absolute discretion of the Board, if the ceasing of employment is due to death or permanent disability, or in any other circumstances determined by the Board to be on a “good leaver” basis, the next tranche of unvested options vests and becomes exercisable for 30 days after the last day of engagement, after which those options expire. If at the absolute discretion of the Board, the ceasing of employment occurs for any other reason than in “good leaver” circumstances, including, but not limited to, termination for cause, or due to resignation, all unvested options lapse immediately and the expiry date is taken to have occurred on the last day of engagement. In the event of a change of control, the Board, at its absolute discretion, may determine that a proportion or all unvested awards will vest.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2020 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') At the 21 October 2020 AGM, 99.70% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Invion Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Invion Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Invion Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Invion Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business are:
Registered office
Principal place of business
Level 4, 100 Albert Road, South Melbourne Vic 3205 692 High Street, East Kew Vic 3102 Australia
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 4 August 2021. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Corporate information
Invion Limited is a 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 is a clinical-stage life-sciences company that is leading the global clinical development of the Photosoft™ technology for the treatment of cancers. Invion has been appointed exclusive licensee in Australia and New Zealand of Photosoft™. The appointment has been made by technology licensor, The Cho Group, a Hong Kong based group that has funded and successfully commercialised a number of unique and advanced technologies. Via an R&D services agreement between the two entities, the research and clinical trials of Photosoft™ are funded by The Cho Group.
The Invion Group (“the Group”) consists of Invion Limited (“Invion” or “the Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Epitech Dermal Science Pty Ltd. The Group is headquartered in Melbourne (Australia). This consolidated financial report of Invion Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 4 August 2021.
Note 3. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going concern
This financial report for year ended 30 June 2021 has been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group incurred an operating loss after income tax of $1,482,951 (2020: $953,894) for the year. At 30 June 2021 the Company had net assets of $4,790,659 (30 June 2020: $5,433,930) and a net current asset position of $224,635 (30 June 2020: $590,039). 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.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its strategic objectives is principally dependent upon funds continuing to be available for research and development expenditure and other principal activities. The Directors have identified funding risk as an area of uncertainty and material risk impacting the Group due to the dependency on the R&D Services Agreement with RMW Cho Group, and as similar to other companies in the biotechnology sector, recognise that further capital may be required to fund the Group’s activities.
23
Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
The Directors are satisfied that notwithstanding the material uncertainty, on the basis RMW Cho Group funding continues to be made available, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that adequate cash is available to meet the liabilities and commitments of the Group for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report, and on that basis, are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. No adjustment has been made to recorded assets and liability amounts and classifications should the group not continue as a going concern.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 4.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 30.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Invion Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Invion Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group is in the business of performing research under contract. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when performance of the services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services, net of Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Group has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the services before transferring them to the customer.
Rendering of services
Revenue from services is recognised at over time when performance of the service is transferred to the customer, generally when the relevant research expenditure is incurred. The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated (e.g. warranties, delivery). In determining the transaction price for the services, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other income
Government grant – Jobkeeper
Government grants are recognised when the right to receive a grant has been established and the company is entitled to it.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
Contract liabilities (or unearned income)
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group completes the performance obligations under the contract.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant and equipment
10%-50%
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
26
Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
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 statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
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.
A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows:
Patents Development Costs Useful lives Finite Finite Amortisation method used Amortised on a straight-line Amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the basis over the expected patent period of available use Internally generated or acquired Acquired Internally generated
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.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
27
Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature, they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
-
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period.
-
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
28
Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on 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; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Invion Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
29
Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity 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 by using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 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 profit or loss and equity.
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.
Note 5. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Invion Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The Invion Group operates as a clinical-stage life sciences (drug development) group. At 30 June 2021, the Group had operations in Australia only with its wholly owned subsidiary EpiTech Dermal Science Pty Ltd (previously IVX Cosmetics Pty Ltd). The Group does not consider that the risks and returns of the Group have been or are affected by differences in either the products or services it provides. The Group operates as one segment and as such in one geographical area. 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.

Invion is developing Photosoft[TM] technology as an improved next generation Photodynamic Therapy. The Photosoft[TM ] commercialisation licence is reflected as an intangible asset and is being amortised over a 20-year period. The Photosoft[TM] commercialisation licence is being carried at the cost of the licence and distribution agreement less accumulated amortisation.
At each Balance Date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an intangible asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes an estimate of recoverable amount, and where the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Invion made a significant step forward in its research and development activities as it worked with its research partner, Hudson Institute of Medical Research, to develop an improved API, which it called INV043. Initial results from the Proof-ofConcept (PoC) tests on INV043 undertaken showed great promise across a range of cancers. In light of significant progress in R&D research on cancer treatment using the Photosoft technology, management did not observe any indicators for impairment to this carrying value. There have been no indicators of any technological obsolescence to the Photosoft[TM] technology. The Group assessed that there is no impact of COVID-19 on Photosoft[TM] commercialisation licence.

Note 24. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash, short-term deposits. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are 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.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance consultants ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity has limited transactions denominated in foreign currency and does not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. At 30 June 2021, there were no creditors denominated in foreign currencies.
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.
36
Invion Limited Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2021
Note 24. Financial instruments (continued)
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.
At as 30 June 2021, the Group's exposure on liquidity risk is on Trade and other payable of $835,650 (2020: $281,731) payable within next 12 months.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Invion Limited
Report on the audit of the financial report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Invion Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the Directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
a giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
b complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred operating loss after income tax of $1,482,951 (2020: $953,894) for the year.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its strategic objectives is principally dependent upon funds continuing to be available for research and development expenditure and other principal activities. As stated in Note 3, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Share-based payments – note 35 | |
| During the year, Invion Limited issued 78,483,641 share options to its Directors and employees in lieu of payment for services. Under AASB 2_Share-based Payments_, these are to be recognised over the vesting period, and as a liability or equity depending on the employees’ nomination of cash or shares. Share-based payment arrangements are a complex accounting area which include assumptions utilised in the fair value calculation and estimation regarding the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. As a result, share-based payment arrangements were considered a key audit matter. |
Our procedures included, amongst others: • Obtaining management’s calculation and valuation of the employee share options; • Agreeing the share options to the relevant contractual agreements; • Analysing and assessing key inputs utilised in the model and obtaining from management evidence to support key assumptions; • Recalculating the value of the share options and checking that the fair value has been correctly allocated across the vesting period in line with_AASB 2_; and • Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in relation to share-based payments. |
Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report
The Directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
