ANNUAL REPORT 2006

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of your directors I'm delighted to present the 2006 annual report of SafetyMed.

Your company has continued to progress since its' listing on the ASX on November $30^{th}$ , 2005.

Throughout the seven months to the end of June 2006 the company focused its' attention primarily on the completion of manufacture quality prototypes of the SecureTouch Retractable Syringe.

This culminated in Exel of the USA giving its' approval of the final model in June, which allowed SMP to then place the order for the building of the two production moulds at JCV Tooling at Wingfield in South Australia.

These moulds, expected to be commissioned by late October will be capable of producing approximately 95 million parts each per year and on completion will be shipped to Exel's cleanroom production facility in Korea.

The company also completed a trial assembly run of 10,000 units at its' Salisbury Facility in the last week of June.

This verified the simplicity and ease of assembly of the SecureTouch device as a production rate of approximately 300 units per hour was achieved by just two people.

7,000 of these complete safety syringes were then forwarded to Exel for regulatory and marketing purposes, 3,000 were retained by the company for its' own marketing and regulatory work.

The company is working closely with Exel to explore the most efficient method of production as well as exchanging information to enable expedient completion of both FDA (Food and Drug Administration, USA) and TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration, Aust) approvals.

Work has also continued on the MediTag with the lan Wark Research Institute (Uni SA) developing and testing suitable temperature parameters.

Nationwide Labeling of Salisbury has also commenced various production trials.

The Medical Advisory Committee has been invaluable in providing advice and recommendations during this phase of the SecureTouch development.

They have also presented a wide variety of new and innovative products which are under investigation for inclusion into the SMP product range.

The Salisbury Facility that was acquired after the listing was the centerpiece of the Company Open Day where shareholders and a broad array of other interested parties attended.

Demonstrations of the SecureTouch assembly process, new clean room, freezer, warehouse and storage area recently fitted out with brand new pallet racking were very well received by all.

The day was extremely informative and provided a unique opportunity for shareholders and potential investors to meet with the Directors and Medical Advisory Committee and see first hand the progress the company has made in such a short time since listing.

Your company is extremely encouraged by feedback from the market, both Government and Private in relation to the SecureTouch Safety Syringe and what it could mean to the community at large.

My fellow directors and I wish to thank the Managing Director. Mr Riemelmoser for his contribution to your company's development.

We wish also to thank shareholders for their patience while our executive team has worked through the processes that will enable SMP to become a long term, world class producer of Safe Medical Products.

Regards,

John Darley

ASX INFORMATION

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Unless disclosed below, all the best practice recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council have been applied for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2006.

Board Composition

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each director who is in office at the date of the annual report and their term of office are detailed in the director's report.

The names of the independent directors of the company are:

John Darley
                          Joseph Nicholas

When determining whether a non-executive director is independent the director must not fail any of the following materiality thresholds:

  • less than 10% of company shares are held by the director and any entity or individual directly or indirectly associated with the director;
  • no sales are made to or purchases made from any entity or individual directly or indirectly associated with the director; and
  • none of the directors income or the income of an individual or entity directly or indirectly associated with the director is derived from a contract with any member of the company other than income derived as a director of the entity.

Independent directors have the right to seek independent professional advice in the furtherance of their duties as directors at the company's expense. Written approval must be obtained from the chairman prior to incurring any expense on behalf of the company.

The functions of the audit and remuneration committees are carried out by the board and their attendance at meetings are detailed in the directors' report.

Trading Policy

The company's policy regarding directors and employees trading in its securities, is set by board. The policy restricts directors and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the security's prices.

Audit Committee

The board carried out the functions of the audit committee.

Performance Evaluation

An annual performance evaluation of the board and all board members was conducted by the board for the financial year ended 30 June 2006. The board sought feedback from all board members and members of the senior management team on how they thought the board had performed. The chairman also spoke to each director individually regarding their role as director. The results were collated and developed into a series of recommendations to improve performance. This was presented to the board at which time an action plan was developed to implement the recommendations and set the performance criteria and goals for the next year.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Remuneration Policies

The remuneration policy, which sets the terms and conditions for the chief executive officer and other senior executives, was developed by the board and approved by the board. All executives receive a base salary, superannuation, fringe benefits and retirement benefits. The board performs the function of the remuneration committee and reviews executive packages annually by reference to company performance, executive performance, comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies. The policy is designed to ensure appropriate feedback to the board.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee and officers share scheme.

The amount of remuneration for all directors and the highest paid executives, including all monetary and nonmonetary components, are detailed in the Note 6 to the financial report. All remuneration paid to executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the company being able to attract and retain the best executives to run the company. It will also provide executives with the necessary incentives to work to grow long-term shareholder value. The policy complies with the four key principles of IFSA Guidance Note 02-16.

The payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the board annually as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the board for approval. Any bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. No such bonuses were paid this year. The board can exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options and can recommend changes to the remuneration policy. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria.

Remuneration Committee

The board carried out the functions of the remuneration committee.

There are no schemes for retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation for executive directors.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your directors present their report on the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2006.

Directors

The names of directors in office at any time during or since the end of the year are:

John Riemelmoser

John Darley (appointed 1 August 2005)

Marcus Boland (appointed 1 August 2005)

Joseph Nicholas (appointed 1 August 2005)

Michael Lindblom (resigned 1 August 2005)

Richard Hart (resigned 1 August 2005)

Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.

Company Secretary

The following person held the position of company secretary at the end of the financial year:

Bruce Hocking LLB - Bachelor of Law. Bruce Hocking has worked for Safety Medical Products Limited since his appointment on the 1st August, 2005, being legal counsel for the company and chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee.

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the company during the financial year were the commercialisation of the SecureTouch Retractable Syringe and further development of the MediTag and Freeze Indicator Devices.

There were no significant changes in the nature of the company's principal activities during the financial year.

Operating Results

The result of the company after providing for income tax amounted to a loss of \$1,523,000.

Dividends Paid or Recommended

No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year.

Review of Operations

During the seven months since listing the company embarked on the commercial development of the SecureTouch Safety Syringe as well as commencing work on the MediTag for which SMP secured exclusive rights to all industry applications.

Prototype tooling was completed for the SecureTouch Safety Syringe.

The Salisbury Production and Distribution Facilty was leased in November 2005 and the fit out commenced with the view to being operational by June 2006.

The SMP Facility was officially opened on 9 June by the Honourable Nick Xenophon MLC and attended by approximately 100 guests that included shareholders and interested parties.

The company lodged a provisional patent application for a freeze indicating device in December 2005.

On 1 February 2006, SMP announced it had secured exclusive rights for all market applications of the MediTag Technology from Thermonitor Pty. Ltd.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Review of Operations (continued)

In March 2006 SMP received TGA certification for over 300 of Exel's Medical Products providing the opportunity for the company to begin the importation and sale of these products into Australia and New Zealand for which it had secured an exclusive distribution agreement in early November 2005.

In June 2006 following the sign off by Exel on the final Secure Touch prototype model, the first two production moulds were ordered. They are capable of producing approximately 95mill plastic saddles and sleeves that when retrofitted to a standard syringe, convert it to a Manual Safety Syringe.

10,000 units were hand assembled at the Salisbury Plant at the rate of approximately 300 units per hour by just two people. This verified the simplicity of the SecureTouch design and ease of manufacture and in fact, even if manufactured at this low rate, would be more than competitive with other comparable devices currently available.

The company is working closely with Exel on a much larger scale of production to significantly reduce production costs and bring the SecureTouch to the world for just a few cents more than a standard syringe.

Looking forward, the company is well positioned to commence significant sales of the SecureTouch Safety Syringe as well as an expanded range of relevant safety products into several different market categories, including Avian flu masks and has entered into distribution arrangements in Australia in respect of some of these.

Financial Position

The net assets of the company have increased by \$1,835,000 from 30 June 2005 to \$1,795,000 in 2006. This increase has largely resulted from the successful capital raising during the year which raised \$2,886,000 net of capital raising costs.

The company's strong financial position has resulted in an improvement in the company's working capital ratio. The company's working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, has improved from negative \$42,000 in 2005 to positive \$1,639,000 in 2006.

The directors believe that the company is in a strong and stable financial position to expand and grow its current operations.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the company occurred during the financial year:

On 1 August 2005 the company issued 6,000,000 bonus ordinary shares at nil cost to shareholders on the $(i)$ basis of one share for every three shares held. The share rank for dividends paid after 1 August 2005.

On 1 August 2005, it was resolved to issue shares to the value of \$400,000 and one option for every two shares issued exercisable at 20c each on or up to 31 December 2008 upon sales commitments of 25 million units being reached as per the agreement with Exelint.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Safety Medical Products Limited. and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration policy

The remuneration policy of Safety Medical Products Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the company's financial results. The board of Safety Medical Products Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the company is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed and approved by the board.
  • All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, options and performance incentives.
  • The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the company's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed bi-annually with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the company's profits and shareholders' value. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee and officers share scheme.

The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation quarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the company. However, to align directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee and officers share scheme.

Performance-based remuneration

No performance-based remuneration was paid during the year.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives. The company has issued options to the majority of directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests.

The following table shows the gross revenue, profits and dividends for the last two years for the listed entity, as well as the share price at the end of the respective financial years. As the company is in the development phase of its operations over both of these years, it is considered that analysing remuneration with profitability is not warranted to date.

\$000 \$000
Revenue 69 52
Net Profit (1,523) (168)
Share Price at Year-end \$0.21 n/a

The directors felt the share price was not as stable as was expected during the year, reaching a low of \$0.11 and a high of \$0.22. It is a concern of the board and also executives as greater fluctuations may lead to a further devaluation of the share price, and thus shareholder wealth. The board has decided to increase and maintain promotional activity amongst analysts so as to increase investor awareness of the company and to stabilise the company's share price in line with a consistent and stable financial position and is seeking appropriate acquisitions that are value-accretive.

Details of remuneration for year ended 30 June 2006

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers Safety Medical Products Limited as an individual entity. Safety Medical Products Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of Safety Medical Products Limited complies with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) in their entirety.

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

Basis of Preparation

First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

Safety Medical Products Limited has prepared financial statements in accordance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) from 1 July 2005.

In accordance with the requirements of AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, adjustments to the accounts resulting from the introduction of AIFRS have been applied retrospectively to 2005 comparative figures excluding cases where optional exemptions available under AASB 1 have been applied. These accounts are the first financial statements of Safety Medical Products Limited to be prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to IFRS.

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented. The company has however elected to adopt the exemptions available under AASB 1 relating to AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation, and AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Refer to Note 28 for further details on changes in accounting policy.

Reconciliations of the transition from previous Australian GAAP to AIFRS have been included in Note 2 to this report.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Accounting Policies

Income Tax a.

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

$b.$ Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on a first in first out basis.

Property, Plant and Equipment Ċ.

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment 7.5% to 37.5%
Motor Vehicles 18.75%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

d. Leases

Leases where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are classified as finance leases.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Instruments e.

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial Liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

f. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Employee Benefits g.

Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

h. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents í.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 12 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2006

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue í.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Goods and Services Tax (GST) $\mathbf{k}$ .

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Comparative Figures Ī.

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Rounding of Amounts m.

The company has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly. amounts in the financial report and directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest \$1,000.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Key Estimates - Taxation Losses

The company has carried forward losses for Australian taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets arising from both temporary differences and tax losses are not recognised as their realisation is considered to be uncertain.

$\mathbf{b}$ . Compensation Practices

The board's policy for determining the nature and amount of compensation of key management for the group is as follows:

The compensation structure for key management personnel is based on a number of factors, including length of service, particular experience of the individual concerned, and overall performance of the company. The contracts for service between the company and key management personnel are on a continuing basis, the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future. Upon retirement key management personnel are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to date of retirement.

The company does not provide cash bonus reward schemes, specifically, the incorporation of incentive payments based on the achievement of revenue targets and return on equity ratios.

The employment conditions of the managing director, John Riemelmoser and other key management personnel are formalised in contracts of employment. Other than the managing director, all other key management personnel are part-time employees of Safety Medical Products Limited. John Riememoser is employed under a fixed three year contract, which commenced on 1 August 2005 and expires on 1 August 2008.

The board determines the proportion of fixed and variable compensation for each key management personnel. Refer Note 6(c).

Weighted average exercise price \$0.20
Weighted average life of the option $3.0825$ years
Underlying share price \$0.20
Expected share price volatility 53%
Risk free interest rate 5.38 %

Historical volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of future tender, which may not eventuate.

The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.
