Overview

Orthocell Ltd is a regenerative medicine company dedicated to the development of an important new class of tissue regeneration medical devices, cellular therapies and growth factors for the repair and regeneration of human tendons, ligaments, cartilage and soft tissue defects. Development to date has focused on two main products:

  • ‘CelGro[®] ’ a naturally derived collagen medical device for soft tissue repair currently in use as an augment to rotator cuff repair, guided bone regeneration and repair of articular cartilage; and

  • Autologous Tenocyte Implantation (“Ortho-ATI[®] ”) for chronic, treatment resistant tendon regeneration.

CelGro[®] is targeted to a variety of orthopaedic, reconstructive and surgical applications and is being readied for first regulatory approval in Europe in 2016. Orthocell’s CelGro[®] scaffold represents a paradigm shift in soft tissue reconstruction and exhibits a number of qualities that make it ideal for use as a guided tissue reconstruction and soft tissue repair device.

Orthocell’s Ortho-ATI[®] is a unique regenerative treatment that uses a minimally invasive, non-surgical approach that uses each patient’s own tendon derived stem cells to stimulate tendon regeneration and is delivered via ultrasound guided injection under local anaesthetic. Published data demonstrates that Ortho-ATI[®] is a durable disruptive technology facilitating the healing of tendons which are resistant to existing therapies.

Summary of key events

The Company has achieved significant progress in the clinical development of CelGro[®] in 2015/16 by demonstrating that this novel medical device has unique characteristics and competitive advantages over existing tissue repair scaffolds, particularly in the areas of cell compatibility, tensile strength and promotion of quality tissue in-growth and scar-less repair:

  • In November 2015, the Company announced initial positive safety and tolerability results for CelGro[®] in a pilot clinical study examining the safety and effectiveness of CelGro[®] for the treatment of bone defects around dental implants.

  • In December 2015, the Company received approval for a human clinical study examining the safety and effectiveness of its CelGro[®] scaffold, to be used as an augment to the surgical repair of the rotator cuff tendon in the shoulder (The Rotator Cuff Tendon Study or RCTS). In June 2016, the Company released initial positive safety and tolerability results for the RCTS demonstrating that the scaffold is safe and has been well tolerated with no inflammatory reactions or complications.

  • In May 2016, Orthocell received human ethics approval to conduct a clinical trial for the use of CelGro[®] in the treatment and augmentation of articular cartilages surgeries (CelGro[®] Hip Study). The study involves 25 patients and aims to demonstrate that CelGro[®] can be used as an augment to hip cartilage surgery and is a safe and tolerable treatment.

Orthocell Limited Directors’ report 30 June 2016

During the year the Company received numerous national and international patents for its world leading regenerative medicine technologies. The patents provide important protection of its technologies as Orthocell prepares for registration and commercialisation in global markets. Australian and Chinese patents were granted for CelGro[®] relating to the method of manufacture of novel bio-scaffolds to aid in the surgical repair of soft tissue injuries. US and Canadian CelGro[®] patents were granted for the process of combining tendon stem cells seeded onto collagen based scaffolds for the repair of soft tissue injuries. A Hong Kong patent was awarded for method to manufacture Ortho-ATI[®] for the regeneration of damaged tendons. In January 2016, Orthocell announced issuance of a US patent for cell-factory derived bioactive molecules for the generation of tissue specific growth factors to enhance tissue regeneration.

In November 2015, the Company raised $4.4m via a placement to selected institutional investors in the US, Australia and, following shareholder approval received on 27 January 2016, from various directors and officers of the Company. The Company also issued investors who participated in the placement free attaching unlisted warrants on the basis of 1.35 warrants for each share issued in the placement.

In May 2016, Orthocell received an R&D tax incentive cash refund of $1,507,774 for the financial year 2014/2015. The R&D refund strengthened the Company’s balance sheet and increased the operational runway during a very active clinical trial program for its collagen platform technology, CelGro[®] and cellular therapy for tendon regeneration, Ortho-ATI[®] .

The effectiveness of Ortho-ATI[®] , the world leading tendon regeneration technology was further validated during the year with the release of new positive results from a study of its tendon cell treatment for tennis elbow in 25 workers compensation patients. The data shows Ortho-ATI[®] significantly improved the clinical outcomes of patients with long-term tennis elbow degeneration, showing reduced pain and increased functionality enabling 88% of patients to return to work and more than 50% of these returned at full capacity following Ortho-ATI[® ] treatment. The Company also held its inaugural user group meeting in Sydney. Attendees included 40 leading orthopaedic surgeons, sports physicians, radiologists, physiotherapists and pain clinicians from Australia and New Zealand. The meeting brought together some of Australia’s leading doctors to discuss their positive experiences and clinical outcomes which further demonstrated that Ortho-ATI[®] technology is a safe and effective treatment for degenerate tendons.

Orthocell’s regenerative cell therapy for cartilage repair, Ortho-ACI[®] was applied to its first patient in Singapore in November 2015. Singapore is the latest international market Orthocell has expanded Ortho-ACI[®] into, following its successful entry to Hong Kong earlier this year where the therapy was used on patients with articular cartilage damage within the knee joint.

The Company progressed its exciting pipeline regenerative medicine technologies in lab grown tendons and cell factory derive growth factors for the repair of tendon, ligament and bone defects. Orthocell has made yet another step towards the potential for an off the shelf product for doctors and patients seeking out cost effective treatments to alleviate symptoms that affect their mobility and quality of life.

  • The Company partnered in the receipt of an Australian Research Council (ARC) grant of $430,000 to further investigate tendon tissue and develop novel therapies such as the laboratory fabricated tendon project announced by Orthocell in November 2014.

  • The presentation by Orthocell’s collaborators of its successful ‘cell factory’ data at the European Bone and Joint Infection Society in Estoril Portugal September 2015. The data has supported the role of growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins which were derived by the researchers from bone cells cultivated in a cell factory, to be combined with scaffolds, to regenerate serious bone defects.

  • In April 2016, the Company announced the publication of a study undertaken by leading researchers in the respected Journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces verifying that cell factory derived bioactive molecules in combination with a scaffold promotes bone healing.

During the year the company presented at numerous leading national and international congresses further supporting the international interest, safety and effectiveness of its tendon regeneration product (Ortho-ATI[®] ) and cartilage regeneration (Ortho-ACI[®] ) products, as well as its pipeline products. Presentations included:

  • Previously released positive follow up data for the treatment of recalcitrant tendon injuries in the hip (2 year data) and the elbow (4.5 year data) at the 16th Biennial Congress of the South African Sports Medicine Association;

Orthocell Limited Directors’ report 30 June 2016

  • Positive two year follow up data for Ortho-ACI[®] treatment for articular cartilage defects of the knee and ankle at two leading regional orthopaedic association annual scientific meetings in Brisbane (Australian Orthopaedic Association) and Singapore (Singapore Orthopaedic Association);

  • Previously announced “tendon outside the body” tendon bioreactor work at the Australian Orthopaedic Association;

  • Previously released positive data around its Ortho-ATI[®] treatment for degenerate tendon and pipeline opportunities at the international stem cell meeting in the US and Barcelona.

  • Previously released positive two year follow up data for the treatment of recalcitrant tendon injuries in the hip at the 3rd Melbourne International Hip Arthroscopy meeting.

In March 2016, Paul Anderson (CEO, Orthocell) presented at the 28th Annual Roth Capital Partners conference in California highlighting the Company’s progress and confirming that the Company is deal ready and positioned for growth. Mr Anderson also presented during extensive promotional roadshows in Perth (December 2015) and Melbourne and Sydney (April 2016).

Remuneration report (audited)

This Remuneration Report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and the consolidated entity in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the consolidated entity are defined as those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the consolidated entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent Company.

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.

To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

  • Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives.

  • Link executive rewards to shareholder value.

  • A portion of executive remuneration may be put ‘at risk’, dependent on meeting pre-determined performance benchmarks.

  • Where appropriate, establish performance hurdles in relation to variable executive remuneration.

Due to the early stage of development which the Company is in, shareholder wealth is directly affected by the Company share price, the Company is not in a position to pay dividends. By remunerating directors and Executives in part by options, the Company aims to align the interests of directors and executives with shareholder wealth, thus providing individual incentive to perform and thereby improving overall Company performance and associated value.

Remuneration structure

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at General Meetings and is currently set at $450,000.

The amount of aggregate directors’ fees sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors will be reviewed annually. The Board may consider advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Each non-executive director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. In addition, if a director performs extra or special services beyond their role as a director, the Board may resolve to provide additional remuneration for such services.

Fees for directors are not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity however, to align all directors’ interests with shareholder interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and may receive options. This effectively links directors’ performance to the share price performance and therefore to the interests of shareholders. For this reason there are no performance conditions prior to grant, but instead an incentive to increase the value to all shareholders.

8

Orthocell Limited Directors’ report 30 June 2016

Executive remuneration

Objective

The Company aims to reward executives (both directors and Company executives) with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to:

  • Attract and retain high quality individuals.

  • Reward executives for Company performance.

  • Align the interest of executives with those of shareholders.

  • Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company.

  • Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

Executive remuneration consists of both fixed and variable (at risk) elements.

Fixed Remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually or upon renewal of fixed term contracts by the Board and the process consists of a review of Company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal policies and practices.

Structure

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

Variable Remuneration

Objective

The objective of variable remuneration provided is to reward executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth.

Structure

Variable remuneration may be delivered in the form of a cash bonuses, or share options. During the financial year ended 30 June 2016 the Company did not grant any options to Executives.

The remuneration of executives for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016 are detailed in the tables below.

The Consultant may terminate the agreement by 6 months’ notice or by notice if the Company breaches the agreement or fails to observe any provision and has not adequately responded to the breach or non-observance within 15 days.

Non-Executive Directors letters of appointment

Pursuant to letters of continuing appointment Mr Callahan, Professor Lars Lidgren and Mr Qi Xiao Zhou are continuing their appointments to the Board as a Non-Executive Directors following listing. Mr Callahan, Professor Lars Lidgren and Mr Qi Xiao Zhou will each be paid a directors fee of $45,000 per annum. Mr Callahan, Professor Lars Lidgren and Mr Qi Xiao Zhou are also entitled to fees or other amounts as the Board determines where they perform special duties or otherwise perform special duties or otherwise perform services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a director. They may also be reimbursed for all reasonable and properly documented expenses incurred in performing their duties.

This concludes the remuneration report, which has been audited.

Directors’ and Officers’ deeds of indemnity, access and insurance

The Company has entered into a deed of indemnity, access and insurance with each of its Directors and the Company Secretary. Under these deeds, the Company agrees to indemnify each officer to the extent permitted by law against any loss which the officer may incur, or be liable for, arising from or in connection with the officer acting as an officer of the Company. Under the deeds, the Company is also required to enter into an insurance policy for the benefit of the officer that insures the officer for all liability to which the officer is exposed in providing services in the capacity of an officer of the Company for which insurance may be legally obtained. When the policy expires, the Company must ensure that it maintains an insurance policy for the officer during the officer’s term of appointment that is on terms no less favourable to the officer (subject to the ability of the Company to reduce the scope of the insurance to the extent it considers reasonable, if it is determined that the cost of maintaining it is such that it is not in the interests of the Company to maintain it, or the Company is unable to obtain the insurance on reasonable terms).

Orthocell Limited Directors’ report 30 June 2016

Indemnity and insurance of auditor

The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor.

During the financial year, the Company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the Company or any related entity.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2016 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

Non-audit services

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 21 to the consolidated financial statements.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 21 to the consolidated financial statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Officers of the Company who are former audit partners of PKF Mack

There are no officers of the Company who are former audit partners of PKF Mack.

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

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

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

The financial statements cover Orthocell Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of Orthocell Limited and its subsidiary. Orthocell Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations and its principal activities are included in the directors’ report, which is not part of the financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 12 September 2016. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Historical cost convention

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 2.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these consolidated financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 26.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities and results of Orthocell Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') and its subsidiary Ausbiomedical Pty Ltd as at 30 June 2016. Orthocell Limited and its subsidiary together are referred to in these consolidated financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

20

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Orthocell Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Sale of goods

Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.

Research and development tax incentive

The research and development tax incentives are recognised at their fair value on receipt when all conditions have been complied with. The research and development tax incentives are recognised as income tax benefits in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised when it is received or due to be received.

Other revenue

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

21

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

  • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or

  • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entity's which intend to settle simultaneously.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, it is held primarily for the purpose of trading, it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle, it is held primarily for the purpose of trading, it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

22

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

Inventories

Inventory relates to work in progress which consists of the costs of patients’ cells being held in the laboratory awaiting delivery and implantation into the patient. Inventory items are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventory comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity.

As indicated in Note 2, when making the decision whether inventory items should be carried forward in the statement of financial position, or written off, management must consider the likelihood of whether each particular patient will proceed to implantation. This requires a degree of estimation and judgement based on historical sales experience, the ageing of the inventories and other demographic and market factors. At present management consider that 2 years is a reasonable period of time to hold inventory in the statement of financial position for each patient unless there is further particular information that would indicate otherwise. This policy is reviewed annually.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are either: i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit; or ii) designated as such upon initial recognition, where they are managed on a fair value basis or to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Except for effective hedging instruments, derivatives are also categorised as fair value through profit or loss. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities, which are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified as any other category. After initial recognition, fair value movements are recognised in other comprehensive income through the available-for-sale reserve in equity. Cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the available-for-sale reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

23

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor, a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments, the lender granting to a borrower concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do, it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset, or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

The amount of the impairment allowance for financial assets carried at cost is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for similar financial assets.

Available-for-sale financial assets are considered impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in value below initial cost. Subsequent increments in value are recognised in other comprehensive income through the available-for-sale reserve.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements Straight line 40 years
Plant and equipment Diminishing value 3-7 years
Computer software Straight line 2-3 years
Furniture and fittings Diminishing value 10-15 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

24

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility, the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset, the consolidated entity has sufficient resources, and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years.

Patents and trademarks

Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 20 years. Capitalisation commences on application for the patents or trademark. Amortisation commences once the patent or trademark has been granted over the remaining useful life of the patent. The useful life is taken as 20 years from the date of application. Patents and trademarks are sought globally in various jurisdictions. If a patent or trademark is unsuccessful the costs are then fully written off. All patents and trademarks once granted have an annuity commitment over the term of their life and these are detailed in note 24.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured at current value and is not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

25

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Defined contribution superannuation expense

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, which are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.

The costs of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and assumes that the transaction will take place either in the principle market or in the absence of a principal market in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

26

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Issued capital

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.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the shareholders 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 for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial 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 costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the BlackScholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Provision for impairment of receivables

The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtor’s financial position.

Impairment of work in progress

Work in progress comprises patient cells taken via biopsy and cryopreserved awaiting implantation at the patients discretion at a future date. Impairment of work in progress assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. While the patient cells held can be preserved indefinitely the company has estimated that if the patient has not proceeded with implantation within 2 years from biopsy, resulting in a sale of the product, the value of the work in progress is impaired to nil.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. The useful life of patents and trademarks is based on the period of the life of the patent or trademark, which is usually 20 years.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Employee benefits provision

As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised and measured at current value and is not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months

The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the consolidated entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the consolidated entity does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

Capital Management Policy

The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

Orthocell Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 30 June 2016

Note 19. Financial instruments

(a) Financial risk management

The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund expenditure on the Company’s operations. The Company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Company’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 1.

(b) Interest rate risk

At reporting date the Company had the following financial assets exposed to interest rate risk:

Consolidated Consolidated
2016 2015
$ $
Cash(1) 5,181,812 4,774,108

(1) The weighted average interest rate of cash is 1.29% (2015: 2.06%)

None of the consolidated entity’s financial liabilities are interest bearing.

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. The consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to each class of financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position.

The consolidated entity has in place policies that aim to ensure that counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions and that the amount of credit exposure to one financial institution is limited as far as is considered commercially appropriate.

Since the consolidated entity trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.

(d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the company’s reputation.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF

ORTHOCELL LIMITED

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial report of Orthocell Limited (the company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the company and the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of 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 Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

45
