Directors’ Report
CORPORATE INFORMATION
Corporate Structure

It has prepared a consolidated financial report incorporating the entities it controlled during the financial year. Refer to Note 26 of the financial statements for a list of entities it controlled during the financial year.
Dividends

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Whilst Memphasys had a difficult year, it made great advances in developing its core technology and is now positioned well for the future.
The year started with the change of name to Memphasys Limited from NuSep Holdings Ltd to reflect the renewed focus on high value biological separations using specialist membranes.
Memphasys’ patented technology enables the efficient separation of high value proteins and cells from biological fluids. The technology enables separation by size and charge, utilising proprietary membranes and the application of electrophoresis. Its lead program, Felix (formerly known as SpermSep), efficiently separates the best quality, least DNA damaged sperm from a semen sample in preparation for human IVF.
As announced on 4 April 2017 and 18 May 2017, Memphasys contracted Melbourne-based specialist medical device development partner, Hydrix, to develop the next generation cartridge for the Felix device, which is a novel, re-usable prototype cartridge for efficiently processing the most viable sperm for human IVF. The new cartridges were made with a three-fold higher processing volume than previously to potentially enable a full ejaculate to be processed. They contain the new bio-compatible membranes, reformulated buffers and an altered fluid flow and electrical configuration that is even gentler on the sperm than the previous research-grade CS10 device but still provides efficient separation of the most viable sperm. This new cartridge design has been tested in-house with healthy human male ejaculates and is now undergoing further testing and optimisation studies by Professor John Aitken’s research team at the University of Newcastle.
Memphasys is also applying the core bio-separation technology to assisted animal reproduction, most notably for horses and cattle. This work is being carried out in conjunction with Professor John Aitken and his research team at the University of Newcastle together with Minitube GmbH (“Minitube”), the largest global provider of animal Artificial Reproductive Technologies (ART) products.
Memphasys’ consultancy arrangement with the University of Melbourne Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department has led to the development of a new, biocompatible and readily manufactured hydrogel membrane for Felix. Memphasys is continuing with the consultancy with the development of new membranes and high value bio-separations.
During the year, the precast gels business sale was completed; Memphasys is no longer in the precast gels business.
Significant corporate achievements in September 2017
Memphasys achieved settlement of the long running litigation with PrIME Biologics Private Limited (“PrIME”) and Pulau Manukan Ventures Labuan Ltd (“Manukan”) shortly after reporting date. Some key outcomes were that Memphasys consented to Manukan’s full rights and ownership over the Preference B Shares in PrIME and that PrIME and Manukan will no longer pursue any claim against Memphasys in relation to the SGD4,801,408 debt. The background to the litigation has been provided in various ASX announcements released during the period.
On 27 September it was reported that settlement actions have been completed with PrIME and Manukan, in accordance with the Settlement Agreement between the parties, whereby Manukan now has full rights and ownership over the Preference B Shares in PrIME and the SGD4,801,408 debt has been cleared.
The $250,000 borrowings plus interest was also fully repaid to Crescendas Projects Pte Ltd.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities
Directors’ Report
Memphasys advised on 8 September 2017 that the litigation with former corporate advisor and fund raiser, Transocean Securities Pty Ltd (“Transocean”), had also been resolved through mediation.
Financial Performance
Directors have contributed most of the funds for the Company this financial year. Director contributions from Alison Coutts and Andrew Goodall were respectively $993,007 and $604,833 totalling $1,597,840.
Further funding was arranged through a $250,000 loan from Crescendas Projects, as announced on 2 March 2017.
Memphasys also obtained a $500,000 bond facility, through Platinum Road Pty Ltd, as announced on 4 April 2017. The bond allows shares to be issued against funds that are provided. The facility was drawn down to $244,872 at 30 June 2017 with $255,128 remaining for potential draw down post reporting date.
During the year, the Board continued to focus on value adding R&D activities and on streamlining operations. Overhead costs are now at the lowest point in the history of the Company.
The Company has only one source of revenue which is the tax refund on R&D activities. We expect an R&D tax refund of approximately $431,000 for FY2017.
Memphasys incurred a $1,898,898 loss from continuing operations (2016: loss of $2,174,721). General and Administrative expenses of $1,971,689 (2016: $1,659,341) was the largest expense category including legal fees for $953,809 (2016: $413,094). An approximate amount of $221,000 in legal fees was spent with William Partners Pty Ltd. Memphasys’ non-executive director John Pereira is the principal of the firm. To avoid conflict of interest for Mr. Pereira, instructions were transmitted from Memphasys’ Executive Chairman to a senior lawyer of the firm. Full disclosure was made through Letters of Engagements and a Costs Agreement.
As the Company has recently settled the legal disputes with PrIME/Manukan and Transocean, legal expenses, which have been a substantial cash drain on the business for the last two financial years, will decrease significantly.
Memphasys continued investing in high value-adding bio-separation projects which will not be revenue generating for at least the next 18 months. Capitalised expenditure on the two projects in the development stage, as allowed by accounting standards, is as follows:
-
Felix which received an investment of $633,437 (2016: $717,001); and
-
New membranes for the Felix device, which received an investment of $206,893 (2016: $213,450).
Memphasys also invested in researching other new membranes and new methods for high value biological separations, at a cost of $137,594 (2016: $178,573). As this 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.
The other major contributor to the operating loss was the interest charges on finance costs of $129,674 (2016: $326,015). The significant reduction from the financial year 2016 was due to having ceased the accrual of interest payments on the SGD4,801,408 debt in August 2016.
Foreign exchange partially offset the operating losses contributing a gain of $259,556 (2016: losses of $156,425). The revaluation of the Australian dollar against the Singaporean dollar, which had a positive impact on the SGD4,801,408 debt, was the main reason for this gain.

Directors’ Report
Board and management
Memphasys appointed John Pereira to the Board as a non-executive director on 30 August 2016. Dr Robert Gilmour resigned from the board on 29 September 2016.
Outlook for 2018
The development of the next generation Felix device is expected to be key value driver for the company over the next 12 months. As reported post reporting date on 7 August 2017, testing of the current new re-usable cartridges demonstrated that cartridges efficiently separate viable sperm from ejaculate in healthy human males.
The ensuring development steps entail:
-
The testing and optimisation of the reusable cartridges, initially with Professor John Aitken’s research group at the University of Newcastle.
-
Further testing using clinical ejaculate samples by our UNSW IVF clinical partner under the guidance of Professor John Aitken.
-
Use of clinical test results to guide the development of the final fully disposable cartridge.
-
Clinically testing and publishing results on the utility of the next generation prototype device containing the fully disposable cartridge by Key Opinion Leaders in leading global IVF centres.

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
The individual performance element of the remuneration policy for senior executives and professional staff is based on performance against KPIs set for the year under review. An individual’s KPIs will be agreed at the commencement of employment and reviewed and updated annually thereafter to ensure alignment with the current goals and objectives of the company.
A percentage component of the total remuneration package is based on the company’s performance and the market position of Memphasys Limited. The remuneration packages are flexible to allow adjustment depending on company and market circumstances as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board.
New employment contracts of all personnel commenced on 1 July 2016 following a review which included the redrafting of all job descriptions and key performance indicators which 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 has no duration and 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.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
1. Reporting entity
Memphasys Limited (the ‘Company’) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 30 Richmond Road, Homebush, NSW 2140, Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2017 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’ and individually as ‘Group entities’). The Group is a forprofit entity and is primarily involved in the development and manufacture of cell and protein separation devices, and associated consumables, for use in Healthcare, Veterinary and Biotechnology market sectors.
2. Basis of preparation
a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2017.
b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical cost.
c) Functional and presentation currency
The financial information of each of the Group’s foreign entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s primary functional currency.
d) Use of estimates and judgements
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 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);
-
Other receivables impairment – refer to Note 11;
-
Measurement of financial investments – refer to Note 13; and
-
Intangible assets impairment review – refer to Note 15(d).
20
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
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 continue to 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 2017 of $1,999,891 (2016: $2,305,524).
-
For the year ended 30 June 2017 the Group had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,228,595 (2016: $1,270,580) and net cash outflows from investing activities of $621,433 (2016: $740,559).
-
At 30 June 2017 the Group had a deficiency in working capital of $2,356,669 (2016: $4,823,382).
-
At 30 June 2017 the Group had net asset deficiency of $402,240 (2016: net assets surplus $1,477,651).
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 4 April 2017 the Company announced that it obtained a $500,000 bond facility from the corporate advisors, Platinum Road Pty Ltd, of which at 30 September 2017 Memphasys has $255,128 remaining for potential draw down.
-
On 3 July 2017 the Company announced that Alison Coutts agreed to extend the line of credit by a further $200,000 of which, as at the date of submission of this report, Memphasys has $62,500 remaining for potential drawdown.
-
AusIndustry has approved the R&D tax claim for an amount of $431,529 which is expected to be received in early October 2017.
-
Legal expenditures arising from the disputes against PrIME Biologics/Manukan and Transocean, which consumed substantial cash from the business for the last two financial years, will finalise by November 2017, when Memphasys will have paid all outstanding associated legal debts.
-
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 Felix 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.
21
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
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 26 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
As a result of discontinued operations, there is only one segment.
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.
22
Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
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) 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.
g) 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.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
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.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
h) 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.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| 2017 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
i) 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.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
j) 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.
k) 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.
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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
3. Significant accounting policies (continued)
o) 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.
p) 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 of the intangible assets they relate to. 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.
q) Goods and services tax (GST)
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 an 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.
r) 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.
s) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
t) 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.

u) Rounding of Amounts
The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Director’s Reports) Instrument 2016/191. Accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded off where appropriate to the nearest $1,000, unless otherwise specified.
v) New accounting standards issued but not yet effective
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 group. The group has decided not to early adopt any of these new and amended pronouncements. The group's assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the group 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).
-
The Standard will replace AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The key changes that may affect the group 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;
-
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 group'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 to for profit entities 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.
The Standard provides 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.
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 group's reported revenue, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

v) New accounting standards and interpretations for application in future periods (continued)
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.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 may have an impact on the group’s accounting for its operating leases, impact is yet to be assessed.

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 and capital losses which are not recognised in its book at 30 June 2017. The unused tax and capital losses held in the Australian group of companies as at 30 June 2017 is $31,374,589. 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 was sold in April 2016 for US$130,000.
The Company discontinued the distribution of biological products in June 2016.
Discontinued operations in the current financial year include only activities relating with the gels business and the transfer of the equipment to the buyer, which was finalised in March 2017.

Available-for-sale financial assets comprised an investment in Series B preference shares (“B shares”) in a former subsidiary, PrIME Biologics Pte Limited (“PrIME”) which was spun out of Memphasys in mid-2014. Post the spin out, PrIME was an independent company commercialising technology from Memphasys in the field of human plasma fractionation.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
In order to obtain the B shares in PrIME, Memphasys agreed to take over a debt on the fit-out of the cGMP production facility in Singapore used by PrIME. By 24 July 2017, the debt plus interest amounted to S$4,801,408. Over the period from spin out to 24 July 2017, Memphasys became involved in litigation actions against PrIME and its major investor, Pulau Manukan Ventures Labuan Ltd (“Manukan”), as reported in ASX announcements over this period.
On 24 July 2017, Memphasys, Manukan and PrIME successfully concluded all disputes through mediation. The following settlement actions have consequently been completed with PrIME and Manukan in accordance with the Settlement Agreement signed between the parties on 24 July 2017:
-
Manukan now has full rights and ownership over the B shares in PrIME formerly owned by Memphasys.
-
Memphasys is now clear of the SGD4,801,408.
-
Certain payments have also been provided to Memphasys by PrIME and certain equipment is being shipped to Memphasys by PrIME.
Valuation of investment in PrIME Biologics Pte Ltd
Accounting standards ordinarily require the investment in PrIME to be recognised at fair value. However, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an “orderly” transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Orderly transaction is defined as a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities. Therefore, the Board does not believe that the resulting disposal of the B shares as a result of the court action and mediation would be categorised as an orderly transaction. As there are no other market transactions or valuation reports for the investment available, the Board believes that the investment should be carried at cost. Accordingly, the amount stated in the Settlement Agreement does not constitute fair value as per the accounting standards. Nevertheless, Memphasys has reclassified the B shares from non-current to current knowing that they will be settled within the next financial year.

d) Impairment review of intangible assets under development
In assessing whether there are any indicators of impairment relating to the Felix business (formerly known as SpermSep), the following factors have been taken into account:
-
Memphasys engaged Hydrix, its engineering development partner, to build cartridges for its next generation “Felix” device. The cartridges process up to 1.8ml of semen, which is three times the volume of the earlier research-grade device, the CS10. This increased volume enables processing of about ¾ of the average human male ejaculate. The cartridges, which contain reusable membranes including the new, biocompatible membranes developed in association with the University of Melbourne Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department, enable cost effective research to optimise operating parameters. The cartridges have improved fluid dynamics and modified buffers to enable gentler electrical operating conditions. Their new design has enabled easier sample loading for operators and flexibility to research a multitude of cellular separations, in addition to sperm from semen.
-
The prototype re-usable Felix cartridge has further use in for optimising operating conditions in animal assisted reproduction, for example for bovine and equine IVF and artificial insemination procedures.
-
The initial cartridges have met the first performance requirements. In-house testing and initial testing by researchers at the University of Newcastle of healthy male human semen samples show that the cartridges separate viable sperm without imparting DNA damage.
-
Researchers at the University of Newcastle under the guidance of Professor John Aitken are now optimising operating conditions (buffer chemistry, voltage current etc) using the prototype cartridges to guide the final specification for developing the final fully disposable cartridges that will ultimately be provided to the IVF clinics. Optimisation studies by the University of Newcastle researchers have been providing heartening results.
-
Memphasys’ consultancy arrangement with the University of Melbourne Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department enabled the development of a new membrane that is now part the prototype Felix cartridge, which is to be commercially developed. Memphasys has an ongoing relationship with this Department and is continuing to work on other potential high value bio-separations.
-
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 Felix device.

22. 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.

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.

27. 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.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2017
27. Financial risk management policies (continued)
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.

|
| 1,224,577 (947,311) 223,485 18,876 1,254 44,651 |
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.

The deficiency in net expected cash flows has been discussed further in Note 3(a) of the financial statements.
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 2017 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 and Singaporean 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.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Memphasys Limited “the Company” and its controlled entities “the Group”, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants “the Code” that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 3(a) Going Concern in the financial report which discloses that the Group incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2017 of $1,999,891, net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,228,595 and investing activities of $621,433, had negative net assets of $402,240 and a deficiency of working capital of $2,356,669. In Note 3(a) it is stated that the Group is dependent on the raising of additional funds for working capital purposes, primarily to assist in the development and commercialisation of the Felix technology (formerly SpermSep). These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Group 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.
Key Audit Matters
In addition to the matter described in the “Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern” section, key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The management use judgement to determine that the development costs included in the intangible assets meet the criteria for capitalisation to intangible assets. These criteria include assessing whether the technology and associated products being developed are commercially feasible, whether the Group has adequate technical, financial and other required resources to complete the development and whether the costs will be fully recovered through future commercialisation.
-
Discussions with management and the Company’s Head of Scientific Advisory Board to gain understanding on the progress of continuing development, any new risks identified and future plans and timing for commercialisation of the Felix technology and associated products.
-
Using this understanding, evaluating management’s assessment of whether the development costs associated with Felix met the criteria for capitalisation.
-
Performing an analysis of management’s assessment of the commercial viability of the Felix technology and that the future economic benefits will be greater than the sum of development costs at reporting date plus future development costs to commercialise.
Ownership and recoverability of the carrying value of the investment in PrIME Biologics Pte Limited Refer to Note 13 Financial Assets
At 30 June 2017 the statement of financial position includes an investment amounting to $3.8 million in non-voting B- Class preference shares of PrIME Biologics Pte Limited (PrIME).
We have considered this as a key audit matter due to the significant amount at balance date. There was a dispute in regard to the ownership of the B-Class preference shares of PriME at balance date. On 24 July 2017, the concerned parties successfully concluded all disputes through mediation.
The investment in PrIME is carried at cost as there is no fair value measurement available as disclosed in Note 13.
Our procedures included amongst others:
-
Documenting and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of controls for determining recoverability of the investment including appropriate valuation.
-
Reviewing the terms of the Mediation Agreement dated 24 July 2017 to determine ownership of the investment and impact on the carrying value at yearend.
-
Obtaining solicitor confirmation on the status of the legal proceedings in respect of the ownership of the B- class preference shares in PrIME.
-
Determining whether the mediation process represents an “orderly” transaction between market participants and whether the mediation agreement can be used as a basis of fair value.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directors Report and Shareholder Information which were obtained as at date of our audit report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
