Directors’ Report
CORPORATE INFORMATION
Corporate Structure
Memphasys Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia with its registered office at 30 Richmond Road, Homebush, NSW 2140. It has prepared a consolidated financial report incorporating the entities it controlled during the financial year. Refer to Note 27 of the financial statements for a list of entities it controlled during the financial year.
Principal Activities
Memphasys’ main focus is separating high value biological substances from fluids, utilising its proprietary separation membranes and equipment. The two main areas of focus are:
-
SpermSep;
-
Hydrogel polymer membrane technology development.
SpermSep
Memphasys’ lead program, SpermSep, efficiently separates the best quality sperm from a semen sample using electrophoresis and specialist membranes, in preparation for IVF. This same principle can also be applied to assisted animal reproduction.
The SpermSep technology has been developed in partnership with Professor John Aitken from the University of Newcastle, Australia – a world-leader in human fertility research. Memphasys has further strengthened the association with the University of Newcastle and Professor Aitken with legal collaborative agreements signed during this reporting period.
The SpermSep device has been shown in laboratory testing to separate viable sperm far more efficiently and with less DNA damage than conventional methods. Results of an in-vitro clinical evaluation by Monash IVF announced in April 2016 of the performance of a SpermSep research grade device were positive.
Memphasys has continued to refine and develop its strategy for SpermSep. The SpermSep clinical prototype, which the company is now developing and which is to be evaluated by global key clinical IVF opinion leaders, has a new, cost efficient, biocompatible membrane and a completely re-engineered, simplified and improved design appropriate for clinical use.
Professor John Aitken and his research team at the University of Newcastle are continuing work in the animal ART field, with in-vitro equine studies and in the oversight of the human IVF in-vitro studies at major Australian clinical IVF centres.
Memphasys is also maintaining its collaboration with Minitube GmbH (“Minitube”), the largest global provider of animal Artificial Reproductive Technologies (ART) products. The main research program with Minitube is the preparation of frozen bovine semen, a technically challenging project, to process in the SpermSep device. Whilst this program is technically difficult it has provided remarkable insights about how the SpermSep device could be re-engineered for the human IVF market. Memphasys is now applying these findings in re-engineering an animal ART device.
Upon completion of the SpermSep clinical trials and the engineering completion of our next-generation clinical grade SpermSep products, the company plans to commercialise the product through marketing and distribution arrangements with international distributors.
The intangible assets relating to the SpermSep business on the Statement of Financial Position have been held at cost similar to prior year, at $2,483,114 (2015: $1,970,567). This is not a market-based valuation and Memphasys believes that there is far greater value in this business. Memphasys plans to increase expenditure on the development of this business and demonstrate commercial progress in both human and animal IVF trials over the next year.

Directors’ Report
Membrane Technology Development
As part of the development of clinical grade devices, Memphasys will use its new hydrogel membranes which are being developed by the company rather than the company’s traditional polyacrylamide membrane technology.
The company expects the newly developed membranes will have improved biocompatibility, much improved production scalability and lower raw material and production cost of manufacture. Memphasys requires further funding to complete development of the new clinical SpermSep product range and the new membranes will be part of this range.
Memphasys also has a consultancy arrangement with the University of Melbourne Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department and is working on the development of new membranes and other separation systems for additional high value biological separations beyond SpemSep.
Dividends
No dividends were paid during the year and no dividend is recommended.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
It has been a bitter sweet year for Memphasys. Most legacy issues have been dealt with and there have been many achievements. However, the ongoing difficulty with PrIME Biologics Pte Ltd (“PrIME”), the company that Memphasys spun out in June 2014, and the ensuing litigation against PrIME and its major investor, Palau Manukan Ventures Labuan Ltd (“Manukan”) has put a dampener on the overall result and has placed an extra requirement on Memphasys for ongoing litigation funding.
On the positive side, Memphasys has had a number of achievements over the year.
-
Results of an in-vitro clinical evaluation by Monash IVF of the performance of a SpermSep research grade device were positive. This study showed that the research grade device worked well and that there is a market need for a clinical grade device;
-
The long running and expensive employment contract dispute with the former Managing Director, Mr. Prakash Patel was resolved;
-
A legal Collaborative Agreement with the University of Newcastle was executed and the association with the University and with Professor John Aitken was further strengthened;
-
Melbourne University’s Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department assisted with the development of an entirely new membrane for the SpermSep device. A consulting agreement was executed to develop new membranes and separation technologies for other high value applications beyond the initial new membranes for SpermSep;
-
The company continued to refine and develop its strategy for SpermSep. The SpermSep clinical prototype, which the Company is now developing and which is to be evaluated by global key clinical IVF opinion leaders, has a new, cost efficient, biocompatible membrane and a completely re-engineered, simplified and improved design appropriate for clinical use;
-
The precast gels business was sold. The sale entails making a quantity of gels for the buyer, transferring intangible assets, packing the plant for relocation to China and subsequently commissioning the plant.
We were delighted to hear that Professor John Aitken won a prestigious, global award on 31 March 2016 in the area of Reproductive Biology. Professor Aitken was only the second researcher outside the USA to ever receive this award.
Another of our earlier collaborators, Emeritus Prof David Solomon, from the University of Melbourne’s Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department, was also honoured. He received a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in the Queen’s Birthday honours for his contribution to the field of polymer chemistry and plastics.
With respect to PrIME, the Company is in litigation in the Singapore High Court against PrIME and its key investor, Manukan, which is part of Malaysian Sovereign Fund, Xeraya.
PrIME was spun out of Memphasys in June 2014 for the purpose of using the technology developed by Memphasys in the field of plasma fractionation. PrIME has had substantial external investment since June 2014, principally from Manukan. The investors received Series A preference shares which have voting control. Memphasys is a passive investor and currently holds 95,912 B class shares in PrIME.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities
Directors’ Report
In order to obtain the B class shares, Memphasys agreed to take over a third party debt to A-Bio Pharma Pte Ltd (“A-Bio”) on the GMP production facility in Singapore that PrIME is using.
Memphasys has not paid the third party debt which was due to be paid to A-Bio at the end of March 2016. Initially A-Bio sought payment from Memphasys but subsequently sought payment from PrIME. PrIME paid that debt at the end of August 2016, and has now issued a Letter of Demand to Memphasys. The debt payment is guaranteed by PrIME and the Memphasys’ B shares in PrIME are held as security for the payment. There are complex agreements around the debt repayment and this is one area in which Memphasys is in litigation against PrIME and Manukan. Memphasys has a separate litigation against PrIME in respect of the GF100 machine, a key part of the cGMP accreditation process for PrIME. PrIME is now claiming to own this machine.
Memphasys is confident that the value of the B class shares well exceeds the debt payment that has been demanded and that ultimately it will reach a negotiated settlement with PrIME and Manukan around the debt repayment and its B class shares in PrIME, but the timing and outcome is currently uncertain.
Financial Performance
The Company undertook a number of capital raisings: A share purchase plan in August 2015, a share placement in January 2016 and an underwritten rights issue in February 2016 which also provided for the conversion of director loans into equity.
In the Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer announced to the market in February 2016 the Directors converted $1.53 million debt into equity, thereby strengthening the Company’s Statement of Financial Position.
The pre-cast polyacrylamide gel business was sold on 1 April 2016 for US$130,000. This transaction included the transfer of ownership of the US subsidiary, NuSep Inc., to the buyer. The contribution to losses from the gels business was as follows for the financial year ended June 2016 and the previous period:
| Year ended 30 June 2016 $ |
Year ended 30 June 2015 $ |
|
|---|---|---|
| Pre-cast polyacrylamide gelbusiness | (133,178) | (375,338) |
Due to low sales volume, the Company also decided to discontinue the diagnostics business in June 2016. The contribution to profits from this business in the financial year ended June 2016 and the previous period were as follows:
| Year ended 30 June 2016 $ |
Year ended 30 June 2015 $ |
|
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic business | 2,375 | 89,673 |
The Company had two remaining sources of revenue, as follows:
-
A tax refund on R&D activities. An application for $497,355 was lodged with AusIndustry on 5 August 2016 and was subsequently approved.
-
Rental income from the GF100 machine from PrIME.
Memphasys continued investing in high value adding projects which will not be revenue generating for at least two years. The main project, SpermSep, received the largest investment totalling $722,251. This investment is expected to increase in future years.
Apart from investing in the development of new membranes for the SpermSep project, at an overall cost of $206,422, Memphasys also invested in researching other new membranes and new methods for high value biological separations, at a cost of $176,562. Internal development costs were the largest component of these overall costs but there were some payments also to the University of Melbourne. As the latest project is still in the research stage, its costs have been booked as expenses and will not be capitalised as intangible assets until the project enters the development stage.
Memphasys incurred a $2,174,721 loss from continuing operations (2015: loss of $2,360,019). General and Administrative expenses of $1,659,341 (2015: $1,509,329) was the largest expense category. This amount includes legal fees for $413,000 related to the legal case with the former Managing Director Mr. Prakash Patel which was settled in November 2015, the legal case with PrIME over the ownership of the GF100 machine and various legal agreements on the potential sale of the class B shares in PrIME which has not eventuated at this

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities
Directors’ Report
stage. When Memphasys finalises its association with PrIME spending on legal fees will be substantially decreased.
Other one-off expenses incurred in the financial year ended June 2016 by Memphasys are fees for board representation by Alison Coutts and Andrew Goodall on the PrIME board amounting to $30,753. Both Alison Coutts and Andrew Goodall resigned from the PrIME Board during the year and Memphasys no longer has a representative on that Board. Consulting services with Transocean Securities Pty Ltd and Robert Gilmour amounted to $158,000.
Other contributors to the loss were:
-
Interest charges on finance costs of $326,015 (2015: $682,304). The significant reduction from the financial year 2015 was due to both conversions of debt to equity by the Directors post the AGM 19 December 2014 and in the Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer announced to the market in February 2016. Also, 83% of the interest charges in the financial year 2016 ($269,000) were due to the accrual of interest payments on the third party debt to A-Bio.
-
Foreign exchange losses of $156,425 (2015: $518,515). 93% of these charges ($145,000) were due to the devaluation of the Australian dollar having an impact on the third party A-Bio debt.
During the year, the Board put into action its earlier decision to focus on value adding R&D activities and streamline operations. It decided to sell the gels business which had insufficient global scale and to cease the diagnostics business, which had become too small to maintain. The FY2016 financial performance does not yet reflect the reduction in operating expenditure from streamlining operations as the large legal expenses have increased overall corporate expenditures.
The largest current liability, shown as $4.8 million, is the third party debt to A-Bio. A-Bio developed the Singapore cGMP facility, converting a large floor space of an office building to cGMP manufacturing capability. PrIME took over the space with cGMP fit out after A-Bio decided to vacate. Memphasys’ agreement to take responsibility for payment of this debt was part of the agreement for spinning out PrIME. Through that spin out process, Memphasys obtained B class non-voting shares in PrIME.
The value of the B class shares held in PrIME has been maintained at the same cost value as the prior year. Given that the range of reasonable fair value estimates on these shares is significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed at this stage, Memphasys is precluded from measuring the investment at fair value.
Memphasys is currently seeking to sell its investment in PrIME. This was announced in April and May 2015 and is still the case. Negotiations are continuing, despite the litigation, but have not concluded.
Board and management
During the financial year Memphasys appointed Dr Robert Gilmour to the Board as a non-executive director. Dr Gilmour is also a consultant to the Company. Michael Graham resigned in January 2016 and Mark Gell resigned in April 2016 as non-executive directors. The Board was grateful for their respective contributions as announced to the market at the time of their resignations.
Outlook for 2017
The development of the next generation SpermSep device and new membranes are expected to be value drivers for the company in the foreseeable future, subject to sufficient funding being available and subject to conclusion of the litigation against PrIME and Manukan.
Whilst the directors are hopeful of negotiating a successful resolution of this dispute, no agreement has been reached at this stage.

Directors’ Report
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Group has assessed whether there are any particular or significant environmental regulations that apply. It has determined that the risk of non-compliance is low and has not identified any compliance breaches during the year.
INDEMNIFYING OFFICERS
During or since the financial year, the company has paid premiums to insure all directors and officers against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in the capacity of director or officer of the company, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the company.
The company paid an insurance premium of $35,000 in covering directors’ liability matters during the year ended 30 June 2016. The cost of the premium increased from $28,000 in the year ended 30 June 2015 due to the higher risk that the Company was deemed to represent as a result of the legal action brought about by former Managing Director, Prakash Patel and the ASIC investigation. No premiums have been paid indemnifying the liability of the auditors.
The company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer of the company or any related body corporate against a liability incurred by such an officer.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the company or intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for all or any part of those proceedings.

Directors’ Report
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED
Outlined below are the guiding principles used by Memphasys Limited to set the remuneration of the organisation.
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for Memphasys’ size and type of business. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee evaluates the executive directors and the CEO/Executive Chairman reviews the senior executive team. In general, the Board and specifically the Nomination and Remuneration Committee ensure that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good employee and non-executive director reward governance practices:
-
Competitiveness and reasonableness
-
Acceptability to shareholders
-
Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation
-
Transparency
-
Capital management
Over the past year employment contracts of all personnel were reviewed and restructured. Job descriptions of all key employees were reviewed and new key performance indicators were developed to reward key staff for delivering on the reformulated strategic needs of the business, especially on development and commercialisation of core intellectual property.
A revised ESOP program for all key employees was approved at the AGM in December 2015.
Employment contracts
The contract of the Executive Chairman, Alison Coutts stipulates that either party may terminate the employment by providing the other with six months’ written notice. The Company may terminate the employment without any period of notice or payment in lieu of notice if the executive engages in serious misconduct.
Non-Executive Directors
The Board has set its remuneration of Non-Executive Directors in line with market-based remuneration in small listed biotechnology companies. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of NonExecutive Directors based on responsibility of the role and are also in line with the remuneration of Chairmen of small listed biotechnology companies. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of remuneration. Subject to shareholder approval Non-Executive Directors may opt each year to receive a percentage of their remuneration in Memphasys Limited shares and/or options.
Directors’ Fee Pool
The current maximum non-executive Directors fee pool limit is $450,000 per year.
Executive Remuneration
Executive remuneration includes:
-
Base remuneration;
-
Bonus remuneration for outstanding performance; and
-
Other remuneration such as superannuation.
As the entity is in development stage, there is no relationship between performance and KMP remuneration at this point in time.
Base Remuneration

Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in the following notes:
-
Going concern – refer to Note 3(a);
-
Measurement of financial investments – refer to Note 14;
-
Intangible assets impairment review – refer to Note 16(d); and
-
Other receivables impairment – refer to Note 11.

3. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
a) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
In the coming financial year, Memphasys’ commercial development strategy will be focused on the SpermSep business unit and the development of new membranes. To complete the commercialisation of the SpermSep animal artificial insemination and IVF applications and to complete the development of new membranes, Memphasys will require extra funding.
The directors note further the following in relation to the financial affairs of the Group:
-
The Group made a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $2,305,524 (2015: $2,645,684).
-
For the year ended 30 June 2016 the Group had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,270,580 (2015: $2,422,178) and net cash outflows from investing activities of $740,559 (2015: net cash inflows $702,432).
-
At 30 June 2016 the Group had a deficiency in working capital of $4,823,382 (2015: $2,278,780).
-
At 30 June 2016 the Group had net assets of $1,477,651 (2015: $746,591).
The Directors believe that the Group will continue as a going concern, and accordingly have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis after considering the following:
-
On 20 September 2016 the Company announced that:
-
it is raising immediate funding of $940,000 through the issue of secured convertible notes,
-
it has terminated the mandate of former corporate advisors, Transocean Securities, and the consulting services of Dr Robert Gilmour, and
-
it has appointed Platinum Road Pty Ltd as the new corporate advisors.
-
By the beginning of October 2016 the Group will receive a tax refund of $497,355 from the Australian Tax Office for eligible research and development activities carried out by the Group in the financial year ended 30 June 2016 under the research and development tax credit scheme.
-
Legal expenditures arising from the ongoing disputes against PrIME Biologics and Manukan are assumed to continue for the foreseeable future. The disputes, in the Singapore High Court, are about the resolution of the payment of the third party A-Bio debt by PrIME, with the B class shares held by the Company as part security over the debt, and the ownership of the GF100. The Company considers the realisable value of the B class shares is substantially higher than the debt repayment and associated legal and interest rate expenses.
-
The Group has the ability to access funds through further issues of securities by the parent entity.
Notwithstanding the above, Memphasys will continue to need access to adequate funding to both conduct its activities and to advance the development of the SpermSep technology to commercialisation. There is material uncertainty as to whether adequate funding will be available. This may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, that it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
No adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the carrying amounts of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the company and entities controlled by the company (its subsidiaries) (referred to as ‘the Group’ in these financial statements). Control is achieved when the company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the company controls an investee if and only if the company has all the following:
-
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
The company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 27 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies applied by the parent entity.
c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, are the Board of Directors.
d) Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
i) Foreign currency transactions
-
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised through profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised through profit or loss.
ii) Foreign operations
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
-
Retained earnings / accumulated losses are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions.
All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. This will be recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
e) Income tax
The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities / assets are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to / recovered from the relevant taxation authority.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax is recognised for 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 assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
f) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of standard cost.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
g) Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
- i) Assets held for sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Immediately before classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equity accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
-
ii) Discontinued operations
-
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
-
represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
-
is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
-
is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to sell.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale, if earlier.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
The Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and some notes have been restated due to the reclassification of their items related to discontinued operations.
h) Financial instruments
-
i) Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset.
-
ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value or amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at cost.
Amortised cost is calculated as:
-
The amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
-
• Less principal repayments;
-
Plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method ; and
-
Less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of income or expense in profit or loss.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
h) Financial instruments (continued)
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 subsequently measured at cost.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at cost.
- iii) Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. If possible, valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions and reference to similar instruments.
iv) Impairment
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, objective evidence that an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired includes observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the expected cash flows to be derived from the financial asset. Impairment losses are recognised through profit or loss.
v) De-recognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
i) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at historic cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
i) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised.
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.
ii) 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 consolidated group 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.
26
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
i) Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 10% - 33% | 10% - 33% |
| Leasehold improvements | 14% - 20% | 14% - 20% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
j) Intangible assets
i) Research and development costs
- Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Development costs capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including cost of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Development costs have a finite life and are amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.
ii) Patents and trademarks
Costs associated with patents and trademarks are expensed in the year in which they are incurred, unless the expenditure will generate future economic benefits. Patents and trademarks capitalised are included in internal development costs and have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
iii) Amortisation
Amortisation is based on the cost of the asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
iv) Impairment
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives or assets under development.
k) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the group 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 through profit or loss.
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.
l) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be paid for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.
27
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
l) Employee benefits (continued)
i) Equity-settled Compensation
The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
- ii) Retirement benefit obligations
All employees of the group are entitled to benefits from the group’s superannuation plan on retirement. Contributions to the defined contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable.
m) 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.
n) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are classified within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
o) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables represent liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within short-term credit terms.
p) Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities. A sale is recorded when goods or services have been despatched to a customer pursuant to a sales order and the associated risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Where cash is received for goods not yet despatched revenue is deferred until risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer.
q) Government grants
A government grant is considered as assistance by a state authority in the form of transfers of resources to the group in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operation of the group. The R&D Tax Incentive Scheme for small companies is considered a government grant. Although it is administered by the government through the ATO, it is not linked to the level or availability of taxable profits.
In accordance with AASB120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance , grant income is recognised as receivable at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions have been satisfied.
The portion of the government grant relating to development assets is credited to deferred income at fair value under development costs. The deferred income is recognised through profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset once development is completed. Government grants relating to costs incurred in the profit or loss statement are recognised as grant income in the same period.
28
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
r) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST amount 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 statement of financial position 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.
s) Contributed equity
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.
t) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
u) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted by bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the 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 cost associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
v) New accounting standards and interpretations for application in future periods
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below:
The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the company. The company has decided not to early adopt any of these new and amended pronouncements. The company's assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the company but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below.
AASB 9: Financial Instruments (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1
January 2018)
These Standards will replace AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The key changes that may affect the company on initial application of AASB 9 and associated amending Standards include:
-
simplifying the general classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;
-
permitting entities to irrevocably elect on initial recognition to present gains and losses on an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income (OCI);
-
simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives, including removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;
29
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
v) New accounting standards and interpretations for application in future periods (continued)
-
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity's own credit risk in OCI, except when it would create an 'accounting mismatch';
-
introducing a new model for hedge accounting that permits greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to non-financial items; and
-
requiring impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost to be based on an expected loss approach.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the company's financial instruments, including hedging activity, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable for annual reporting periods
commencing on or after 1 January 2018)
AASB 15 will provide (except in relation to some specific exceptions, such as lease contracts and insurance contracts) a single source of accounting requirements for all contracts with customers, thereby replacing all current accounting pronouncements on revenue.
These Standards provide a revised principle for recognising and measuring revenue. Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the provider of the goods or services expects to be entitled. To give effect to this principle, AASB 15 requires the adoption of the following 5-step model:
-
identify the contract(s) with a customer;
-
identify the performance obligations under the contract(s);
-
determine the transaction price;
-
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations under the contract(s); and
-
recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.
AASB 15 also provides additional guidance to assist entities in applying the revised principle to licences of intellectual property, warranties, rights of return, principal/agent considerations and options for additional goods and services.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 may have an impact on the company's reported revenue, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
AASB 16: Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019)
AASB 16 will replace AASB 117: Leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require a lessee to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at their cost and lease liabilities are initially measured on a present value basis. Subsequent to initial recognition:
-
right-of-use assets are accounted for on a similar basis to non-financial assets, whereby the right-of-use asset is accounted for in accordance with a cost model unless the underlying asset is accounted for on a revaluation basis, in which case if the underlying asset is:
-
investment property, the lessee applies the fair value model in AASB 140: Investment Property to the right-of-use asset; or
-
property, plant or equipment, the lessee can elect to apply the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment to all of the right-of-use assets that relate to that class of property, plant and equipment; and
-
lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis as other financial liabilities, whereby interest expense is recognised in respect of the liability and the carrying amount of the liability is reduced to reflect lease payments made.
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, under AASB 16 a lessor would continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases subject to whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, and would account for each type of lease in a manner consistent with the current approach under AASB 117.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 may have an impact on the company’s accounting for its operating leases, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

c) Deferred income tax
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of tax losses and deductible temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Due to the value of tax losses and the group performance for the year, it is not considered probable that temporary differences will be utilised in the foreseeable future.
d) Tax losses
The Group has separate tax entities within Australia and the United States.
The Australian tax jurisdiction has tax losses which are not recognised in its book at 30 June 2016. The unused tax losses held in the Australian group of companies as at 30 June 2016 is $28,879,452. These tax losses are available indefinitely. The amount of the benefit which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in the income tax legislation, the group will derive sufficient assessable income to recoup the losses and the group will comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
8. Loss from disposal of assets held for sale and discontinued operations
The pre-cast polyacrylamide gel manufacturing business presented as assets held for sale in the prior financial year was sold in April 2016 for US$130,000.
The Company decided to discontinue the distribution of biological products in June 2016 due to low sales volume.
Discontinued operations include activities relating with the gels business and the distribution of biological products.
The comparatives figures presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been re-presented to show discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.

Available-for-sale financial assets comprise an investment in Series B preference shares in a former subsidiary, PrIME Biologics Pte Limited (PrIME). There are no fixed returns or fixed maturity dates attached to this investment. The investment is held at cost as the equity instruments do not have a quoted market price in an active market and the fair value cannot be reliably determined.
a) Measurement of investment in PrIME Biologics Pte Limited
Accounting Standards ordinarily require the investment in PrIME to be recognised for at fair value. Memphasys retains Series B preference shares in PrIME. This equity class has notably different rights to the Series A preference shares which have control over all major decisions and can determine future distributions or a liquidating event (refer to Notes 14(b) and 14(c)). However, as the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed at this stage, Memphasys is precluded from measuring the investment at fair value. As a result, a cost basis is considered appropriate in the circumstances.
In assessing whether there are any indicators of impairment of the investment in PrIME, it has been determined that no events have been identified to indicate an impairment of the investment at 30 June 2016.
b) Voting rights in PrIME Biologics Pte Limited
As a holder of Series B Preference Shares, Memphasys is entitled to receive notices of, and attend and speak at, any meetings of the Shareholders with no rights to vote except;
37
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
-
If its dividends as Series B Preference shareholders remain unpaid;
-
Upon any resolution which varies the rights attached to its shares; and
-
Upon any resolution for the winding up of the Company.
c) Entitlements in the event of a liquidating event
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PrIME, or the sale, lease or disposal of all or substantially all of its assets, or acquisition by another entity, or other transactions in which more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of PrIME is disposed of, distribution of the assets and funds to the shareholders shall be made in the following manner:
-
In the event that such distribution is up to USD$100m: after the holders of Series A Preference Shares received an amount equal to 2 times their initial investment plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on of Series A Preference Shares, the remaining assets available for distribution will be distributed in accordance with the Series A and Series B preference shareholdings on a converted basis.
-
In the event that such distribution is between USD$100m and USD $200m: after the holders of Series A Preference Shares received an amount equal to 1.5 times their initial investment plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on of Series A Preference Shares, the remaining assets available for distribution will be distributed in accordance with the Series A and Series B preference shareholdings on a converted basis.
-
In the event that such distribution is above USD$200m: after the holders of Series A Preference Shares received an amount equal to their initial investment plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on of Series A Preference Shares, the remaining assets available for distribution will be distributed in accordance with the Series A and Series B preference shareholdings on a converted basis.
The Series A preference shareholders have control over when a preference share equity conversion can occur. Under the PrIME Investment Agreement, there are four Completion Points or Milestones.
PrIME Biologics received a GMP accreditation (Completion Point two), however it is unclear from the description by PrIME as to what this accreditation enables PrIME to do. PrIME was able to demonstrate the separation of albumin from plasma using Memphasys’ GF100 machine, the ownership of which is now in dispute, but PrIME did not mention any ability to separate the higher value immunoglobulin component. The quantity of albumin separated was noted to be an amount that required scale up. PrIME’s website, �������������������������, provides a fuller description about the cGMP accreditation that PrIME received.
Upon each milestone being reached, Series A shareholders are required to make further equity-based investments, thereby diluting the percentage of PrIME held by Memphasys. PrIME has had a number of rounds of capital invested in it by the A class shareholders since the Investment Agreement was signed in mid 2014. In August 2015, JP Capital and Manukan invested S$8.8 million, but initially did so through a loan on which they charged 50% ‘monthly’ interest rate for two months, which they then subsequently converted into equity despite Memphasys’ objection to the interest rate that was applied. There have been further capital raisings from the A class shareholders since then, most recently at a 10% discount to the initial price per share. Memphasys currently holds 95,912 B class shares in PrIME however the exact percentage of PrIME that Memphasys holds is in dispute.
As previously described in the Review of Operation, Memphasys is in litigation in the Singapore High Court against PrIME and its key investor, Manukan on two separate actions.

d) Impairment review of intangible assets under development
In assessing whether there are any indicators of impairment relating to the SpermSep business unit, the following factors have been taken into account:
-
In the current year Memphasys has progressed its SpermSep business. A legal Collaborative Agreement with the University of Newcastle was executed and the association with the University and with Professor John Aitken was further strengthened. Memphasys is collaborating with the University of Newcastle in both human and animal reproduction. The University’s main focus in the animal reproduction field with Memphasys is equine reproduction.
-
The company continued to refine and develop its strategy for SpermSep. The SpermSep clinical prototype, which the Company is now developing and which is to be evaluated by global key clinical IVF opinion leaders, has a new, cost efficient, biocompatible membrane and a completely re-engineered, simplified and improved design appropriate for clinical use
-
Results of an in-vitro clinical evaluation by Monash IVF of the performance of a SpermSep research grade device were positive. This study showed that the research grade device worked well and that there is a market need for a clinical grade device.
-
Memphasys is also maintaining its collaboration with Minitube GmbH (“Minitube”), the largest global provider of animal Artificial Reproductive Technologies (ART) products. The main research program with Minitube is the preparation of frozen bovine semen, a technically challenging project, to process in the SpermSep device. Whilst this program is technically difficult it has provided remarkable insights about how the SpermSep device could be re-engineered for the human IVF market. Memphasys is now applying these findings in re-engineering an animal ART device.
40
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016
-
Memphasys also has a consultancy arrangement with the University of Melbourne Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department and is working on the development of new membranes and other separation systems for additional high value biological separations beyond SpemSep. Melbourne University’s Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department assisted with the development of an entirely new membrane for the SpermSep device. A consulting agreement was executed to develop new membranes and separation technologies for other high value applications beyond the initial new membranes for SpermSep.
-
The Group has assessed that future economic benefits from the intangible assets will be greater than the sum of development costs at the reporting date plus future development costs to commercialise the assets.
-
The Group has assessed that there are no new specific risks in relation to the development and commercialisation of the projects. The key risk remains the generation of adequate funding to complete commercialisation.
-
Memphasys is confident it will be able to generate sufficient funding in the coming year to advance the commercialisation of the SpermSep development.

- In order to obtain the B class shares in PrIME, Memphasys agreed to take over a third party debt to A-Bio Pharma Pte Ltd (“A-Bio”) on the GMP production facility in Singapore that PrIME is using.
Memphasys has not paid the third party debt which was due to be paid to A-Bio at the end of March 2016. Initially A-Bio sought payment from Memphasys but has subsequently sought payment from PrIME. The debt payment is guaranteed by PrIME and the Memphasys’ B shares in PrIME are held as security for the payment. There are complex agreements around the debt repayment and this is an area in which Memphasys is in litigation against PrIME and Manukan. The 8% interest rate is a default rate but is also subject to negotiations between Memphasys and Manukan.

23. Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels and share issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year.
Refer to Note 3(a) of the financial statements for further details of the company’s strategy for capital management.

In accordance with Accounting Standard AASB2 ‘Share Based payments’ , the options were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology with an additional 30% discount applied to the final valuation due to lack of marketability of the options. The fair value of each option is estimated on grant date with the following assumptions used:
- For the options granted to Transocean Securities Pty Ltd in Private Placement in January 2016:
Dividend yield 0% Risk-free interest rate 1.83% Expected volatility 97.67%
- For the options granted to Transocean Securities Pty Ltd, Robert Gilmour and shareholders in Rights Issue in April 2016:
Dividend yield 0% Risk-free interest rate 1.88% Expected volatility 101.58%

d) Share based compensation - Options
Options remuneration has been calculated in accordance with the fair value measurements provisions of AASB 2 “Share Based Payments”.
The amount of options remuneration is determined on a pro rata basis, by expensing the fair value estimate of each option over the vesting period and the individual option grant. The fair value of each option is estimated on grant date using Black-Scholes option pricing model. However, as there was no value vested for these options during the financial year, there was no share based expense recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

28. Financial risk management policies
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable, and loans to and from subsidiaries.
a) Credit risk exposures
The carrying amounts of financial assets included in the consolidated statement of financial position represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to these assets. The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with strong, creditworthy customers across all business segments.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within this note. The class of assets described as trade and other receivables is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.
On a geographical basis, the Group has significant risk exposures in Australia.
The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with aging analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled, with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counter party to the transactions. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group. Payment terms are general 3045 days from the date of the invoice, except for other receivables which includes the receivable from Mr Thee Woon Goh.
The chart below profiles the receivable balances at the reporting date.

28. Financial risk management policies (continued)
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
-
preparing regular rolling cash flow forecasts in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;
-
monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
-
obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
-
maintaining a reputable credit profile;
-
managing credit risk related to financial assets;
-
only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
-
monitoring the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.
The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that finance facilities will be rolled forward.

28. Financial risk management policies (continued)
c) Market risk
- i) Interest rate risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. As at 30 June 2016 all of the Company’s interest bearing liabilities are at fixed rate, therefore the Group is not exposed to interest rate risk.
ii) Foreign exchange risk
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily arising from currency exposures to the US, Singaporean and NZ dollars.
The following table shows the foreign currency risk on the financial assets and liabilities of the Group’s operations denominated in different currencies, including the functional currency of the operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MEMPHASYS LIMITED ABN 33 120 047 556
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Memphasys Limited (formerly NuSep Holdings Ltd) and its Controlled Entities (the consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of Memphasys Limited are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation 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 is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(a), the directors also state that, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls.An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Memphasys Limited’s investment in Series B preference shares of PrIME Biologics Pte Ltd, an entity incorporated in Singapore is carried at cost of $3,824,888 on the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about the carrying amount of Memphasys Limited’s investment in the Series B preference shares of PrIME Biologics Pte Ltd as at 30 June 2016 because of the call option agreement between Pulau Manukan Ventures Labuan Ltd and Memphasys Limited on this investment. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the carrying amount is necessary.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion:
-
a) except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial report of Memphasys Limited and controlled entities is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(a).
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 3(a) Going Concern in the financial report which states that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $2,305,524, net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,270,580 and investing activities of $740,559 and a deficiency of working capital of $4,823,382. In Note 3(a) also states that the consolidated entity is dependent on the raising of additional funds for working capital purposes, primarily to assist in the development of the next generation SpermSep device, and to fund litigation against PrIME Biologics Pte Limited and Palau Manukan Ventures Labuan Ltd in Singapore. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities at the amounts stated in the financial statements in the normal course of business.
