REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Neurotech researches, designs, markets and through third party manufacturers, produces wearable neurotechnology devices to assist with neurological conditions such as autism.

Neurotech International Limited ( Neurotech or the Group ) is a medical device and solutions company incorporated in Australia and operating through its wholly-owned, Malta-based subsidiary AAT Research Limited. Neurotech’s primary mission is to improve the lives of people with neurological conditions, with a vision of becoming a global leader in home-use and clinical neurotechnology solutions that are both accessible and affordable.

During the half year, Neurotech completed an Initial Public Offering of to raise $7,000,000 (35,000,000 shares at $0.20 per share), and was admitted to the Australian Stock Exchange on the 3rd of November 2016.

The Initial Public Offering was carried out primarily to fund the Company’s sales and marketing program for its flagship product Mente Autism, and to fund ongoing Research and Development activities for its Mente products for the B2B market, including Mente Pro and Mente Suite.

Neurotech is focusing on the commercialisation of Mente Autism, which was launched in November following the receipt of CE Marking for the product, a status that certifies that it complies with European health, safety and environmental protection legislation.

Neurotech’s main sales focus area is the Italian market where Neurotech has a key distribution agreement in place, with the counterparty having a take or pay commitment to purchase 8,700 units over the period to July 2019. The first shipment of Mente Autism units was shipped to Italy in December 2016.

The Group seeks to expand distribution of its products within the broader European market, with Germany, Austria and Switzerland seen as a key target markets. To achieve this, the Group has appointed Chief Commercial Officer Mario Raciti, who is based in Germany.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Neurotech is currently undertaking a clinical trial in the USA. The trial is expected to assist with seeking FDA (Food and Drug Administration) clearance to make additional claims in the United States in relation to the management of autism with Mente Autism. Given the population of the USA, a successful trial will significantly increase the market available to Neurotech. Following this, Neurotech intends to apply for FDA clearance and to this end, recently engaged a USA based FDA consultancy firm, Emergo, to introduce the FDA to Mente Autism.

During the half year, the Group carried out further Research and Development activities on Mente products for the B2B market, including Mente Pro and Mente Suite. Mente Pro is complementary to Mente Autism, with the former being suitable for clinical use and the latter designed for home use. Neurotech is also developing Mente Suite, which will be the software used by medical professionals in treating their patients with Mente Autism and Mente Pro.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Neurotech International Limited is a medical device and solutions company.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • (a) Basis of preparation of Half-Year Financial Statements

The consolidated interim financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, Accounting Interpretation and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year within the Group.

It is recommended that this financial report to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the consolidated entity for the year ended 30 June 2016, together with any public announcements made during the half year ended 31 December 2016 in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period with the exception of the below accounting policy.

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

These half-year financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28[th] February 2017.

  • (b) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the half-year financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this half-year financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016.

  • (c) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the half-year ended 31 December 2016, the directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the company’s operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016. It has been determined by the directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Group’s accounting policies.

The directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2016. As a result of this review the directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the company’s business and, therefore, no change is necessary to the Group’s accounting policies.

In addition to the shares issued during the period, the terms of Wolfgang Storf’s executive services agreement provides for the issue of 466,000 shares on 1 October 2017, provided the executive remains employed until that time.

To recognise that these shares are in the process of vesting, an amount of $37,143 has been recognised as an expense in the half year with a corresponding amount recognised in the Share-based payments reserve.

During the half year, 937,500 shares were issued to Azure Capital for services provided in relation to the IPO capital raising. The shares issued to Azure Capital are valued at $150,000, representing the fair value of services provided.

Refer to note 6 for a reconciliation of the Group’s contributed equity.

Share Rights Issued

In accordance with the executive services agreement between the Group’s subsidiary, AAT Research Limited, and Dr Adrian Attard Trevisan, Dr Adrian Attard Trevisan has been granted 3,000,000 share rights, with one share to be issued for every one right.

The share rights were granted on the 13[th] of September 2016, on the commencement date of the agreement, the 1[st] of October 2016, 3,000,000 Share rights were issued. Under the terms of the agreement, up to 1,000,000 shares will be issued (1 share per share right) on each anniversary of the commencement date, therefore there are three tranches.

The vesting of the share rights is subject to a service condition, being that Dr Trevisan must remain employed with the Group for the share rights to vest. On termination of employment, any unvested share rights will automatically lapse and be forfeited.

In addition to this service condition, for each tranche, the vesting of 500,000 performance rights is subject to the satisfaction of non-market based performance conditions established by the board relating to Neurotech’s performance and the executive’s compliance with the Group’s policies and code of conduct.

Management have assessed the value of these rights as $480,000 (16c per right) and taking into consideration the vesting conditions, the value of the rights expected to vest is $390,000, being 81.25% of the total value. This value is being expensed over the 3 years to the 1[st] of October 2019, in the period to 31 December 2016, an amount of $59,420 has been recognised as an expense, with a corresponding amount recognised in the share based payments reserve.

Management will re-assess the value of the rights expected to vest at the end of each reporting period based on the expectation of the number of share rights expected to vest, this may result in in recognition of further expense or the recognition of a credit to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

The increase in the share based payments reserve of $393,889 as shown in note 7, is the sum of $120,389 in the table above, and the value of share options issued to Azure Capital, $273,500, as disclosed on page 14.

The amount of $234,560 above is recognised directly in contributed equity and therefore does not form part of the $393,889 movement in share based payments reserve.

The amount of $273,500, being the value of share options issued to Azure Capital has been recognised against contributed equity (being a share issue cost) and therefore does not form part of the $354,949 shared based payments expense for the half year to 31 December 2016.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Neurotech International Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Neurotech International Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Neurotech International Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Neurotech International Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Neurotech International Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
