Brief Explanation of the above figures

Revenue

The Revenue for the year comprised Sales of $4,301,143, a Research & Development Rebate of $342,033 and other income of $65,930.

Revenue for the year has increased by 152.39% to $4,709,106 as compared to the revenue of $1,865,826 last year. The increase in revenue was a result of:

  • improved sales performance from all the geographical market segments of the Company representing 160.81% increase in sales as compared to the sales in the corresponding year in 2011.

  • an increase in R&D Tax Rebate receipt by $172,952 compared to last year.

Loss Position

The Company’s loss from its bioplastics business for the year was $3,904,406, an improvement of 4.65% or $190,402 over the corresponding year in 2011 ($4,094,808).

However, the Company has recorded a consolidated loss of $4,642,426 for the year, an increase of 39.61% as compared with a loss of $3,325,211 last year.

The main reason for the increase in the Consolidated Net Loss is attributable to the Company’s investments in Bioglobal Limited (“BGL”) where the following exceptional events and adjustments occurred:

  • On 23rd December 2011, Shareholders of BGL approved an issue of shares to Good Harvest Biotech Holdings Limited of 300 million new ordinary shares at 1.3 cents cash per share to raise $3,900,000 in BGL Cardia did not participate in the issue and its investments of 18.78 million ordinary shares was diluted down to 4.63% (from current 17.78%).

As a result, the Company has written down its investments in BGL from $2,817,000 to $244,140.The resultant loss of $2,572,860 in the value of the

investment has been recognised through Preliminary Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity $1,900,853 and $ 672,007 as an impairment charge in the Preliminary Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income .

  • In the previous year, the Company recognised a gain of $736,883 resulting from the change in accounting method of recording its investments in Bioglobal Limited from equity method of accounting (AASB 128) to Available for Sale financial asset (AASB-139).The accounting method was changed due to cessation of BGL being an Associate ((as defined in AASB 128) of the Company effective 1 July 2010. No such gain is required to be recognised in the current year.

In addition to the above, as at 30 June 2012, the Company has also recognised impairment loss of $83,247 on its investments in P-Fuel Limited.

Material Factors Affecting the Preliminary Consolidated Financial Statements

a) Revenue and Expenses

Revenue for the year has increased by 152.39% as compared to the revenue of $1,865,826 last year. The primary reason for increase in revenue was improved sales performance from all the geographic market segments of the Company. Other than abnormal items explained elsewhere in the report, the expenses for the year have remained consistent with that of previous year.

b) Assets and Liabilities

The Company maintained its policy of writing off all R&D and Patent expenditure relating to the product development of its business units.

Available-for-Sale Financial assets are required to be assessed for impairment at each reporting date and the impairment loss if any shall be recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the requirements of AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, the Company’s financial Assets have been assessed for impairment and loss has been recognised wherever requiredRefer Note 4 to Preliminary Consolidated Financial Statements.

In accordance with AASB -136, Goodwill acquired on the acquisition of Biograde Limited has been allocated to Distribution segment of the business, being cash generating unit.AASB-136 also requires Goodwill to be tested annually for impairment and impairment loss to be recognised if the carrying amount of the cash generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit. No Impairment loss on Goodwill has been recognised during the year.

c) Trends

Other than increase in sales revenue by 160.81% as compared to the last year, there were no other significant performance trends during the year.

d) Other Factors that Affected Results for the Year or which are likely to affect Results in the Future

The Company has undertaken cost restructure program during the last quarter of FY 2012 to reduce its operating costs as the Company transitions from product development to commercialisation through marketing and sales initiatives.

19

COMMENTARY ON RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

These measures are expected to reduce the cash burn to $3.0 million for FY2013. Assuming no sales or gross margin is contributed to overheads for the FY2013 then the burn translates to around $750,000 per quarter. The effect of these new cost reduction measures are expected to be visible from the first quarter of FY2013.

Other than the above measures, there were no other factors which have affected the results in the year or which are likely to affect results in the future.

ACCOUNT AND AUDIT

There were no changes in accounting policies during the year and this report is based on accounts which are in the process of being audited.

Going Concern Assumption

As anticipated, the Consolidated Group’s revenue from sales has been insufficient to cover operational costs of the business and hence the company experienced operating losses during the year ended 30 June 2012. The Company’s continuing viability, its ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its debts and commitments as they fall due, are subject to the company being successful in:

  • Establishing greater revenue from its current activities and reducing costs As part of the Company’s growth strategy, the Company has been extensively working on number of development projects with global brand owners and international packaging companies. Some of these projects are in commercial negotiations and others have advanced to “in-market trials” stage. Whilst no assurance can be given, the Board expects that all or some of these projects will be converted into sales revenue.

The Company has achieved solid growth in sales for the year to 30 June 2012.

The Company implemented a cost restructure program in the last quarter of FY2012. It is expected that this program will result in additional cash savings for the Company as it develops its operations.

  • Capital Raising

  • The Board has a track record of raising capital and had raised $1.5million in FY2012 following $6.6million in FY2011.

The Board is currently looking at all of its capital raising options.

  • Sale of the Company’s non-core assets

  • The Company’s non core equity investments that have the potential to be sold, would also contribute to cash flows.

The Directors are seeking to raise capital and in line with the above matters have prepared the Preliminary final report on a going concern basis. At this time the Directors are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the Report.
