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.

Dividends

No dividends were paid during the year and no dividend is recommended.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Memphasys is focused on commercialising high value reproductive biotechnology and proprietary cell separation technologies. The Company is developing novel medical devices, diagnostics, and media with application to assisted reproduction technologies, including IVF in humans and artificial insemination in animals.

The Company’s most advanced product is the Felix[TM] system which utilises a technology known as electrophoresis, combined with size-exclusion membranes to select the best quality cells for improved IVF treatments.

The Company is also in the process of developing several other technologies. These include its Samson[TM] Fertility Test, a rapid in vitro diagnostic device to detect the probability of the stallion being able to fertilise a mare; various media projects to extend the longevity of semen without the need for freezing; new, innovative methods of sperm separation and novel analytical methods to detect causes of infertility.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Over the year Memphasys made great progress in commercialising the Felix[TM] system, Memphasys’ most developed product, and developing its product pipeline. The Felix[TM] system is a novel automated device for quickly and gently separating high quality sperm from a raw semen sample for use in human IVF procedures, which is now starting to be sold in early access regulatory markets. This progress was made despite continued difficulties caused by Covid to supply chains and the global slowdown and temporary shutting of IVF clinics, many of which are still recovering and are still not back to pre-covid capacity.

Highlights over the year include the following:

  • Appointing Distinguished Emeritus Professor John Aitken as Memphasys’ Scientific Director. Professor Aitken’s appointment has provided a fillip to the development of Memphasys’ product pipeline by the reproduction biology specialists funded by Memphasys who he leads at the University of Newcastle.

  • Progressing Memphasys’ IP through obtaining more granted patents and lodging provisional patents on the Felix[TM] system and other pipeline products and obtaining more trademark approvals for both the Felix[TM] and Samson[TM] brands.

  • Achieving ISO 13485 accreditation for Memphasys’ Quality Management System (“QMS”), which is a key requirement for selling the Felix[TM] system in many jurisdictions.

  • Obtaining initial sales of the Felix[TM] system, both for research institutes in China and for clinical use in India.

  • Recruiting and treating the first patient in the in vitro Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (“ISCI”) clinical trial with Monash IVF of the Felix[TM] system.

  • Progressing the regulatory planning process to achieve approvals to market the Felix[TM] system in jurisdictions including Australia, China, USA and Europe.

Employment of Professor John Aitken as Scientific Director

In July 2021, Laureate Professor John Aitken was appointed as Memphasys’ Scientific Director. He is employed part time to oversee the development of the range of new assisted reproductive products as well as supporting the commercial development of the Felix[TM] system. Professor Aitken’s employment by the Company followed his retirement from the full-time position of Distinguished Laureate Professor of Biological Sciences within the School of Environmental and Life Sciences at the University of Newcastle on 30[th] June 2021. Professor Aitken remains as Distinguished Emeritus Laureate Professor of Biological Sciences at University of Newcastle where he manages research staff as part of his role with Memphasys.

Commercial development of the Felix[TM] system

KOL in vitro studies

Fourteen internationally recognised IVF Clinic key opinion leader (“KOL”) sites have been conducting in vitro assessments of the Felix[TM] system and the majority had completed these assessments by the end of the period. Professor John Aitken has analysed the results to date, comparing in vitro measures of the sperm post processing by the Felix[TM] system and by Discontinuous Gradient Centrifuge (“DGC”), the most globally common sperm preparation method for IVF procedures.

The initial results demonstrated that while both DGC and the Felix[TM] System were able to select sperm of high quality from the raw semen samples, the overall quality of recovered sperm from the Felix[TM] system was superior to DGC in most cases, and in particular, the level of DNA fragmentation was less. Notably, the Felix[TM] system processed the semen samples in six minutes whilst DGC required at least 30 minutes, which is a substantial advantage of the Felix[TM] system, especially in a busy IVF clinic.

Professor Aitken has prepared a paper on this work, to be co-authored with the participating KOLs. It is anticipated to be published in a substantive reproductive biology journal.

Sales of the Felix[TM] system

During the period, the Felix[TM] system transitioned from product development to commencing commercial sales for clinical use, initially in India, a market with high and growing IVF demand. The first clinical sale was to the Coimbatore Womens Hospital Centre, one of the many international participants in the Felix™ system’s KOL in vitro study.

The sale comprised a Felix[TM] desktop console, and an initial supply of sterile Felix single-use cartridges which are used to quickly process a semen sample and separate the best sperm cells. A single-use cartridge is used for processing each semen sample and the sperm separated in the cartridge, in an easy, automated, 6-minute, single step process, are then ready for use in IVF procedures.

The Coimbatore Womens Hospital is initially utilising the Felix™ system for couples suspected of suffering from male factor infertility. A further, follow up sale of a batch of cartridges was subsequently made to this clinic and more sales are expected in the future. Post reporting date, the clinic also reported that some frozen embryos have been implanted and have resulted in pregnancies.

Another two Indian KOL sites in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, are also testing the Felix™ system. One clinic has started undertaking embryo studies utilising the Felix™ system, which is the process adopted before a purchase decision is made. The other clinic is establishing a protocol with Memphasys for undertaking embryo testing.

To date the feedback from all three sites has been very positive on the ease of use, the speed and the performance of the Felix[TM] system. All three sites are keen to develop a database of clinical use case studies of the use of the Felix[TM] system for a range of couples with differing fertility issues and to publish the clinical outcomes.

India has implemented a range of medical device (IVF and non-IVF) regulatory changes, which require all medical devices to be registered. Memphasys appointed Implantex, a company headquartered in Singapore, with offices throughout S E Asia, including Mumbai, India, as its agent to oversee the required regulatory application for the Felix[TM] system. The application was lodged on on 13 June 2022, post the Company’s formal receipt of the ISO 13485 certificate, which was required for the application. The Indian regulator, Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (“CDSCO”) has advised the approximate time frame to process the application is four to nine months from date of lodgement.

Companies may still sell medical devices in India without regulatory approval (under transition provisions) until 30 September 2022. The Company does not consider that these regulatory updates will have any material impact on the IVF market in India or the medium to long term prospectus of the Company.

India represents one of four ‘early access markets’ for the Felix™ system. The other markets, in order of size, are Japan, Canada and New Zealand. The Indian market accounts for approximately 10% of the global demand for fresh IVF cycles[1] . In 2017, approximately 190,000 IVF cycles were performed in India. This number is forecast to rise to 587,570 by 2025. Increasingly, IVF centres are also freezing embryos for later implantation when the female partner’s

hormone levels have stabilised. This is the case with the Coimbatore centre, where embryo freezing rather than fresh transfers is preferred.

Memphasys also completed its first sale of a Felix[TM] system for research use with a sale to Anhui Women & Children’s Hospital in China, a national leader in male infertility research. The sale was made by Memphasys’ China distributor, Diagens Biotechnology Company Ltd (“Diagens”).

Diagens is a Chinese company that manufactures and distributes proprietary and other products to its network of 500+ assisted reproduction centres and 300+ prenatal diagnosis centres in China. Memphasys has been collaborating with Diagens for the past two years.

In 2017, 302,190 IVF cycles were performed in China which is expected to reach up to 842,890 by 2025[1] .

Although it was heartening that maiden sales of the device and repeat sales of cartridges were made in the period, sales were slower than expected for a variety of reasons.

KOL testing, a prerequisite for initial sales, slowed within most of the KOL practices at various times over the past couple of years due to Covid restrictions and the subsequent requirement to re-establish IVF operations. Covid related travel restrictions also prohibited the Company’s management from conducting sales discussions in person with KOL executives. Fortunately, travel restrictions have eased. The Company’s CEO and Managing Director, Alison Coutts, travelled to clinics in India and to the ESHRE international human fertility conference in Italy in June and July 2022 and obtained great feedback from multiple KOLs on their experiences with using the Felix System, which was generally very positive. The KOLs have stated they like the ease of use, the speed, the quality of sperm processed and the wide array of semen samples that the Felix[TM] System can treat.

It has become apparent that KOLs able to purchase the device in the early access regulatory markets will want to undertake in vivo testing of the Felix[TM] system, making embryos with sperm selected by the Felix[TM] device before they make a purchasing decision. The clinics will typically compare the embryo quality produced from their current sperm preparation method with the embryo quality produced by the Felix[TM] system. They may only test with a limited number of embryos, which was the case for the initial Indian purchaser. Some other KOLs have indicated they may want to do a small clinical study to compare the two processes.

Obtaining published clinical data on the in vivo performance of the Felix[TM] system should also assist with the sales process. Memphasys is hopeful that such data will be available from the early clinics using the device in vivo , and from the clinical trial it is undertaking in Australia when it is finalised.

Quality Management System and ISO13485 accreditation

During the period Memphasys completed Verification and Validation (“V&V”) on the Felix[TM] system for early access regulatory markets, which enabled Memphasys to subsequently sell the Felix[TM] system in these markets. Verification is undertaken to confirm the specified design requirements have been fulfilled. Validation is undertaken to confirm requirements for specific intended use can be consistently fulfilled. Passing V&V assessments was a prerequisite before commencing commercial sales.

Passing V&V was a precondition for Memphasys to subsequently receive ISO 13485 certification, an international accreditation for its Quality Management System. ISO 134895 accreditation, which was formally achieved in June 2022, means that processes, as documented in the Company’s quality management system, required to design, manufacture and market a device such as the Felix[TM] system comply with the international ISO 13485 standard. It is a requirement in later access regulatory countries for a company marketing a medical device such as the Felix™ system, to have ISO13485 accreditation.

Regulatory Clinical trial for Felix[TM] system with Monash IVF

Memphasys is conducting a clinical study (FELIX- ICSI) in collaboration with the Monash IVF Group Ltd (ASX: MVF), a leading Australian reproductive and fertility services company[2] .

The clinical study will assess the safety and performance of the Felix™ system vs Swim-Up (“SU”) and DGC, to isolate sperm from semen prior to its use for human ICSI, a common technique used in IVF.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities

Directors’ Report

Enrolment and treatment of first patients has begun, however, post reporting date, some changes to the trial protocol were made to speed up enrolment. A further three sites were added to the original four sites by the end of August. As the selection criteria were also found to be too restrictive, various of these criteria were also loosened e.g., by increasing female participant age to 42.5 years and allowing any male to participate if the fertilisation method was by ICSI (providing that the male met various other inclusion criteria). The study is anticipated to be completed by the end of December 2022, subject to recruitment/treatment rates.

Results, together with a comprehensive literature review, will be filed in a formal regulatory submission to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) of Australia in support of Memphasys’ application seeking to have the Felix™ system approved for sale in Australia, and will also support Felix™ system regulatory filings in international jurisdictions, most notably in the EU. TGA registration will also be recognised in many countries in S E Asia and in the Middle East.

Regulatory progress in high regulatory markets

The Company is continuing its activities to enable the Felix[TM] system to obtain regulatory approval in other later access countries which generally require the submission of a comprehensive technical file including clinical trial data. These later access countries include China (NMPA), United States (FDA) and Europe (C.E. Mark).

Memphasys is preparing for a pre-submission meeting with the USA Food and Drug Administration. Initial feedback from specialist regulatory consultants is that as the Felix[TM] system will be a novel class II device and, as there is no predicate device, it is likely to require a de novo submission.

The Company is pursuing the grant of Chinese regulatory approval and is hopeful that it will receive an accelerated review using the “green track” channel for innovative medical devices. Diagens is working with Memphasys to prepare a submission to China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) - the medical regulatory authority in China - on a potential fast track “Green Channel” regulatory approval for Felix to enable quicker commercial launch of the Felix[TM] in China, the world’s largest IVF market.

Memphasys’ Reproductive Biotechnology Product Pipeline

It is strategically important that Memphasys develops a high-quality product portfolio. This strategy is to mitigate the risk of over-reliance on any single product or process, keep Memphasys at the leading edge of new reproductive biotechnology developments, capitalise on the lifetime of experience and expertise that Professor John Aitken brings to the company and enable a cross pollination of expertise and discovery across the projects.

Not all projects will be commercially successful; some will fail on technical or commercial grounds along the development pathway. Memphasys’ approach is to identify projects that are unlikely to be commercially successful as early in the development process as possible and to redeploy its highly valuable human resources to other projects with higher potential.

Memphasys has made considerable progress in new reproductive biotechnology product development with a group of seven highly qualified researchers at University of Newcastle, funded by Memphasys and under the leadership of Professor John Aitken. These potential new products address major market needs in human and animal reproduction and cover new sperm separation devices, male fertility diagnostics (human and animal), and accessory products that enable artificial reproduction services to be more widely and cheaply employed in humans and animals.

Memphasys’ most advanced new product in the pipeline is its Samson[TM] stallion fertility diagnostic. The Samson[TM] device field trial in thoroughbreds and standardbred horses was completed during the September-November 2021 breeding season in Australia. The Samson[TM] device is designed to assess the stallion’s semen quality and predict the likelihood of a successful pregnancy from a ‘service’ when combined with basic data on the serviced mare. An algorithm using retrospective data from the Samson[TM] device and other pertinent data such as stallion and mare age accurately predicted mare pregnancy within 30 minutes of the fertilising event in the horse stud field trials. A more sophisticated prototype device has been manufactured in preparation for testing in the coming season and it will utilise prospective rather than retrospective data, which will be more commercially useful, but it will also be more technically challenging.

The University of Newcastle research team has made great progress in developing a quick and readily applied oxidative stress diagnostic that could be utilised for a semen assessment in the home, GP office or IVF clinic. Further testing with student semen samples will be undertaken and, if the outcome continues to be successful, a prototype device will be fabricated for testing on clinical samples.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities

Directors’ Report

The researchers have been working on various other projects including a semen transportation device to enable human semen to be held at ambient temperature for shipment to a remotely located diagnostic laboratory, and devices with proprietary media for enabling artificial insemination in horses and cattle to be performed without freezing the semen beforehand.

Patents and Trademarks

Memphasys maintains strong protection for its unique bio-separations technology and reproductive biotechnology products. It has several pending patent applications in regions including USA, Europe, Australia and various Asian countries.

During the period, Memphasys was granted a patent for its sperm separation system in China and a patent in Japan for the unique hydrogel membranes used in the Felix[TM] system. The granting of these patents adds to the Company’s suite of patents already granted in regions including USA, China, UK, and Australia.

The Felix[TM] trademark is registered in Australia, USA, UK, EU, India, Japan, and Canada.

The granting of patents and the registering of the trademark in key markets is important in protecting what the Company believes will be a globally significant device for the IVF industry. The Samson[TM] brand is also trademarked in Australia.

Other business

Settlement Agreement with Hydrix

During the period, Memphasys entered a settlement agreement (via a binding Heads of Agreement) with its engineering and design partner Hydrix Services Pty Ltd (“Hydrix”) concerning an engineering flaw with the Felix[TM] device[3] . The parties worked together to remediate the engineering issue within the device and were subsequently able to come to commercially acceptable terms to settle the issue.

R&D Rebate

The Company received a $1.36 million tax rebate following the submission of its 2021 R&D Tax Incentive claim.

Financial Performance

In the financial year ended 30 June 2022, Memphasys incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $2,081,964 (2021: net loss of $1,486,432). The main reasons causing this difference were as follows:

  • a) Although the total R&D expenditure slightly increased by 4% to $3,511,856 (2021: $3,368,704), the composition of this expenditure has moved from projects in ‘development phase’ (capitalised as Intangible Assets in the balance sheet) to projects in ‘research phase’ (released as R&D expenses to the P&L), which are the new portfolio of novel artificial reproduction products for human and animals under development with Professor Aitken and his team at the University of Newcastle, after a new agreement was signed with this University in November 2021. The table below shows the variances between projects and the resulting increase of $623,102 in R&D expenditure released to the P&L:

Directors’ Report

  • b) Finance costs expenses have significantly increased by $480,163 due interest and expenses of convertible note loans announced to the market in May 2021.

  • c) Other expenses have increased by $238,685. This includes, among others, items like D&O insurance, website redesign, options issued to Hydrix as part of the agreement for the settlement of the engineering flaw, the payment of cash bonuses to employees and consultants for achieving milestone of first clinical sale in an early market by 31 December 2021, recruitment expenses and company promotional activities.

The increase in expenditure mentioned in paragraphs above was partially offset by two main revenue items, as follows:

  • a) The extraordinary revenue of $650,000 due to the agreement reached with Hydrix for the settlement of the engineering flaw announced to the market in March 2021, and

  • b) The increase of $278,448 in the accrual of R&D tax incentive grant, driven by the bigger proportion of R&D expenditure on projects undergoing its ‘research’ phase.

The company has achieved in December 2021 the significant milestone of making the first commercial sale in an early access market of its Felix[TM] system to the Coimbatore Womens Hospital Centre in India, followed by a second sale to the same institution in March 2022. Although the quantum of the second sale was not material, the repeat clinical order validated Memphasys business model of recurring cartridge sales. Sales for research purposes were also made in October 2021 and March 2022 to Diagens in China.

The tax refund on R&D activities granted by the Federal Government (“Tax Incentive”) continues to be the Company’s main source of regular revenue. An R&D tax refund of $1,495,672 has been approved by AusIndustry for R&D expenditure incurred in the current financial year.

Memphasys finalised the financial year with a deficiency in working capital of $2,510,764 (2021: excess $2,831,940) and with net assets of $7,646,534 (2021: $8,606,990). The deterioration in working capital is due to the reclassification from non-current to current liabilities of convertible note loans announced in May 2021, which at 30 June 2022 had a maturity date on 31 December 2022. Subsequent to year end the parties are in conversations to extend the maturity date to 31 December 2023.

Board and management

Memphasys appointed Robert Cooke on 26 April 2022 as Non-Executive Chairman. On the same date, Shane Hartwig resigned as Non-Executive Director and Alison Coutts was appointed Managing Director and CEO.

On 1 July 2021, Memphasys entered into an employment agreement with Professor John Aitken, who was appointed as Scientific Director.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the financial year.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities

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 Managing Director/CEO 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.

Employment contracts

Managing Director and CEO

The contract of the Managing Director and CEO, 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.

Senior Executive

The present contracts for senior executives include employment terms, remuneration and termination payments. Under the general terms of the current executive contracts:

  • Have no duration .

  • Either party may terminate the contract by providing the other, depending on the executive, between eight weeks and three months’ written notice.

  • Employee’s employment automatically continues on the terms stipulated in the contract.

Non-Executive Directors

The Board has set its remuneration of Non-Executive Directors in line with market-based remuneration in smalllisted biotechnology companies. The Managing Director and CEO’s fees are determined independently to the fees of Non-Executive Directors based on responsibility of the role and are also in line with how this position is remunerated in the market by small-listed biotechnology companies. Subject to shareholder approval, NonExecutive 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.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

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 2022 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’ and individually as ‘Group entities’). The Group is a for-profit 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 31 August 2022.

b) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical cost except for those classes of assets and liabilities carried at fair value.

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);

  • Intangible assets impairment review – refer to Note 15(d); and

  • Determining the lease term when recognising the right-of-use asset and lease liability – refer to Note 16.

26

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

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.

The directors note the following in relation to the financial affairs of the Group:

  • The Group made a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2022 of $2,081,964 (2021: $1,486,432).

  • For the year ended 30 June 2022 the Group had net cash flows from operating activities of $311,817 (2021: net cash flows $67,249) and net cash outflows from investing activities of $3,077,780 (2021: $3,024,092).

  • At 30 June 2022, the Group had an deficit in working capital of $2,510,764 (2021: excess in working capital $2,831,940).

  • At 30 June 2022, the Group had net assets of $7,646,534 (2021: $8,606,990).

The Group’s focus for the next twelve months is to:

  • Achieve initial and, if possible, follow up Felix commercial sales in various “early market” jurisdictions;

  • Complete a clinical trial in Australia to pave the way for registration in that market;

  • Develop the new portfolio of vitro diagnostic, medical device and media products with Professor Aitken and UoN for potential use in both the human and animal ART markets.

The expenditure required to undertake all of these activities has been included in the Group’s cash flow forecast and based on this forecast the Group will require extra funding in the next twelve months to complete all of these activities. We believe the timetable for expenditure adopted in the forecast is in the best interests of maximising shareholder returns and reflects the Group’s confidence in its ability to access funds when required in the next twelve months.

The Directors believe the Group will continue as a going concern, and accordingly have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis after considering the following:

  • AusIndustry has approved the R&D tax claim for an amount of $1,495,672 which is expected to be received in September 2022.

  • The Company anticipates raising $3.36m from the capital raising announced to the market on 17 August 2022.

  • The Group has the ability to access funds through further issues of securities by the parent entity and is also in a strong position to receive further grant funding to support various programs.

Based on the above, Memphasys will continue to access funding to advance the development of the Felix human and animal ART devices to commercialisation and continue its bio-separation activities to bring these closer to a commercial outcome.

On this basis no adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the carrying amount of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Should the Group be unsuccessful with the initiatives detailed above then, there is a material uncertainty as to whether the Group may in the future not be able to continue as a going concern and may therefore be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business with the amount realised being different from those shown in the financial statement.

27

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

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 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

Although the company has started commercialising Felix[TM] in the current period, the operating results of this particular business are not being regularly reviewed by the entity management yet. Therefore, the entity still only has one segment being Research and Development.

d) 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 the purchase or sale of the asset.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss.

ii) Classification and subsequent measurement Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value or amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 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.

28

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

Financial Liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Derivatives

A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its value from another asset or liability. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is an attempt to put an objective price on a financial instrument, either instead of or in the absence of its current market price.

Calculating the fair value of derivatives involves taking into account factors that affect how likely the derivative is to prove beneficial to the holder.

e) 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 fixed assets 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:

2022 2021
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.

29

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

f) 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.

g) Impairment of non-financial 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.

h) 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.

30

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

i) 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.

j) 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.

k) 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.

l) Leases

Right-of-use assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

m) Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

n) 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 capitalised development costs of the intangible assets they relate to. Government grants relating to costs incurred in the profit or loss statement are recognised as grant income in the same period.

o) 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.

p) 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.

q) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

r) 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.

s) Lapsed options

When options are lapsed, they are transferred from reserves to issued capital or accumulated losses, depending on whether they have been originally credited against share issue expenses or released to profit and loss.

t) 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, unless otherwise specified.

u) New Accounting Standards adopted by the group

The consolidated entity has adopted all the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

v) New Accounting Standards and interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2022. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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 2022. The unused tax losses held in the Australian group of companies as at 30 June 2022 is $35,500,597. 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.

15. Intangible assets (continued)

d) Impairment review of intangible assets under development

In assessing whether there are any indicators of impairment relating to the Felix business the following factors have been considered:

  • The contract manufacturers for the Felix cartridges, W&S, the largest plastic moulding manufacturer in the southern hemisphere, and the Felix consoles, SRX a global electronic manufacturer, are positioned to produce commercial Felix devices.

  • Consoles were commercially ready in October 2020.

  • Cartridges were commercially ready in October 2021.

  • The performance of the Felix device has been bolstered by testing with global KOL partners, and this testing has shown that the technology behind the Felix device is capable of competing with the existing methods (DGC and swim up) for separating sperm for IVF.

  • Despite being commercially ready and available in some early markets, sales have been slower than anticipated in these markets, but even so, the device is well positioned for substantial future sales. It has now become apparent to Memphasys through the testing of the device by KOLs in these early access markets that the KOLs require in vivo data (embryo quality and pregnancy data), not only in vitro data, before they buy. One Indian clinic is getting ready to do in vitro studies. The other two Indian sites are now using the Felix device to create embryos which they freeze for a few months before they implant to allow the females’ hormone levels to normalise. One of these clinics is doing embryo studies (at least 50 embryos) before it is ready to make the purchasing decision but said that they are pleased with the embryo quality from sperm processed by the Felix device so far. The other clinic, which has made two commercial Felix purchases, has been focussing on males with infertility issues, which has made testing slower than if they had been using for all males. The clinic has made many embryos and has also started implanting which has led to pregnancies. More in vivo data is required as the numbers are still relatively small, however they have stated they like the embryo quality from sperm processed by the Felix device. All three Indian clinics and other KOLs have stated they find the device much quicker and easier to use than their current methods of processing sperm.

  • The Felix device has no clinical trial data yet. Such data would greatly assist sales. The Felix device is being evaluated in an Australian clinical trial with Monash IVF at seven of their IVF sites. Achieving the clinical end point (embryo utilisation rate not being inferior to embryo utilisation rates from embryos created by processing of sperm by DGC or swim up) is crucial for achieving TGA certification in Australia. Having TGA certification is expected to open up other markets eg in the Middle East and in S E Asia, and will also potentially enable the device to obtain CE Mark certification in Europe. The clinical trial is anticipated to finish by end of December 2022 depending on recruitment rates.

  • The Group has assessed that there are no new specific risks in relation to the commercial development of the project. Covid initially impacted the access to clinical samples and the operating protocol for the Australian clinical trial started with too few sites and was too restrictive with respect to patient inclusion/ exclusion criteria, but the procedure has been updated and has received ethics approval. It is anticipated that the trial will conclude as originally intended, by the end of December 2022, subject to recruitment rate being as currently predicted.

  • The key risk to Felix commercialisation is the regulatory approval timelines in later access, highly regulated markets, most notably Australia (TGA), the USA (FDA) and EU (MDR). The overhaul to the medical device regulations, “MDR” in Europe, may also have flow on effects to other markets such as Australia. However, the Company has determined that the Canadian, Japanese, Indian and New Zealand markets could be accessed earlier for commercial sales of the Felix device to be made. Whilst the clinics in these early markets will require in vivo data (typically embryo quality and clinical pregnancy) before they consider purchasing, and this process will delay sales, the intrinsic value of the device remains higher than the carrying value.

  • The Group has assessed those 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.

  • This assessment was based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets and forecasts approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 2%. A discount rate of 13.1% was used in the value-in-use calculations.

  • Memphasys is confident it has sufficient funding for the coming year to advance the commercialisation of the Felix device.

16. Right-of-use asset and lease liability

At 30 June 2022, the Group had the following lease arrangements:

  • A non-cancellable lease for its production and commercial property in Homebush, which has a remaining term of 23 months. It includes a further three (3) options to renew the lease for three (3) years each, being the first term from 1 June 2024 expiring 31 May 2027, the second term from 1 June 2027 expiring 31 May 2030 and the third option term from 1 June 2030 expiring 31 May 2033.

  • A lease for the cleanroom to manufacture the Felix disposable cartridges, built in the premises of W&S, in Moorebank. Although the lease agreement has not yet been formalised, it has been agreed that the amount of $40,000 a year, which has been set at market rates, will give Memphasys the exclusive rights to use the cleanroom. The duration of the lease is still subject to discussion. In the absence of any better guidance, a 3- year lease (with a remaining term of 24 months at 30 June 2022) adding further three (3) options to renew the lease for three (3) years each has been recognised, similarly to the property rented in Homebush and according to the intentions of the Company.

  • Current portion of debt for building the cleanroom facility in the premises of W&S. The original debt, which totalled $464,000 including the non-current portion, was arranged to be paid for through a decelerating amortisation schedule and included in the price of the first 100,000 cartridges purchased by Memphasys from W&S. In March 2021, Memphasys rearranged with W&S for the debt to be paid for in three years, in quarterly instalments of $38,667. A revised contract is to be signed with W&S, incorporating the abovementioned payment arrangement and other items, unknown at the time of signing the original contract, like the following:

  • extra costs to manufacture in the cleanroom (mainly increased labour, mostly used to keep the cleanroom and equipment sterile),

  • rental payments for Memphasys to have exclusive rights to use the cleanroom, and

  • the option to continue the agreement post 36 months and a separation clause (not in current agreement).

  • Noncurrent portion of debt for building the cleanroom facility in the premises of W&S.

28. Financial risk management policies

The Group’s is exposed to the following financial risks in relation to the financial instruments that it held at the end of the reporting period.

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. In the current financial year, the Group has been focused on its R&D program and has not operated with clients having no trade and other receivable balances at the end of the year. Cash is held in a financial institution with first grade credit rating. Therefore, there is no exposure to credit risk.

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;

  • 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.

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

28. Financial risk management policies (continued)

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.

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 2022 the Company has no interest-bearing liabilities subject to future change in interest rates, 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. In the current financial year, the Group has operated internationally in low volumes and has no assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the end of the period. Therefore, there was no exposure to foreign exchange risk.

d) Financial instruments carried at fair value

The Group’s financial instruments are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorised into three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in AASB13, Fair Value Measurement . The level into which a fair value measurement is classified and determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

54

Memphasys Limited and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2022

29. Financial risk management policies (continued)

  • Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date

  • Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to Meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available.

 Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs. The Convertible Notes conversion derivative and attached option, included under Interest-bearing liabilities, are classified as Level 3 liabilities. The significant assumptions used in preparing the option pricing model for valuing the (i) volatility of 108%, (ii) risk free interest rate of 3.29% and (iii) exercise price ($0.06 or lower price for conversion derivative). Refer to Note 18 for further details.

29. Capital Commitments

The Company has no commitments for the acquisition of plant and equipment contracted for at the reporting date that have not been recognised as liabilities.

30. Events after Balance Date

Subsequent to 30 June 2022, the company announced $3.36 million capital raising to accelerate commercialisation of Felix[TM] system and continue development of other pipeline products.

31. Company Details

The registered office and principal place of business of the company is: 30 Richmond Road Homebush, NSW 2140 Australia

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MEMPHASYS LIMITED ABN 33 120 047 556

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 2022, 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, 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 2022 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 (including Independence Standards) “the Code” that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We 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 2022 of $2,081,964, had net cash flows from operating activities of $311,817 and net cash outflows from investing activities of $3,077,780, had net assets of $7,646,534 and a deficit in working capital of $2,510,764. In Note 3(a) it is stated that the Group is dependent on the raising of additional funds for working capital purposes, including $3.36m through a capital raising announced to the market subsequent to year end, primarily to assist in the development and commercialisation of the Felix technology. 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

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 year.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directors Report and Shareholder Information for the year ended 30 June 2022 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied

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.

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
