Overview

Orthocell Ltd is a regenerative medicine company focused on regenerating mobility for patients by developing products for the repair of a variety of soft tissue injuries. Development to date has focused on two main products:

  1. CelGro[®] is a naturally derived collagen medical device designed for use in multiple indications to augment the surgical repair of bone, peripheral nerves, tendons, and cartilage. CelGro® represents a paradigm shift in bone and soft tissue reconstruction and has distinct competitive advantages over existing tissue repair devices, particularly in the areas of cell compatibility, mechanical properties (strength and ease of use) and facilitating high quality tissue repair. Orthocell has regulatory approval for Striate+, the first application of the CelGro® platform used in dental bone and soft tissue repair procedures, in the US (510k), Australia (ARTG) and Europe (CE Mark). Orthocell received regulatory approval for its second application of the CelGro® platform, Remplir, in peripheral nerve repair in Australia (ARTG) in March 2022.

2. Ortho-ATI[®] is a first in class cell therapy for treatment of chronic tendon injuries. The unique treatment uses each patient’s own tendon-derived cells to stimulate tendon regeneration and is delivered via a nonsurgical ultrasound guided injection. OrthoATI™ addresses a significant unmet clinical need in the healing of tendons which are resistant to existing therapies.

Summary of key events

During the 2022 financial year Orthocell achieved key milestones in executing its partnering strategy for Striate+, clinical development

Exclusive distribution and IP licence agreement executed

In June 2022, Orthocell entered into an exclusive patent and trademark licence agreement and an exclusive distribution and supply agreement with BioHorizons Implant Systems Inc (BioHorizons).

In consideration of the license granted, Orthocell has received in cash AU $21,461,686 million (US $14,774,225 million). Under this agreement, Orthocell granted BioHorizons exclusive distribution and licence rights to two patent families, covering a collagen scaffold for cell growth and a method for producing a collagen membrane, together with associated patent applications, improvements and know-how as well as the Striate+ trademark.

BioHorizons is part of Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC) and a leading global provider of dental implants and tissue regeneration products for dentists and dental specialists. The company has a broad product offering, including dental implants, guided surgery, digital restorations and tissue regeneration solutions for the replacement of missing teeth. BioHorizons products are available in 90 markets around the world.

Orthocell will continue to manufacture and supply BioHorizons with quantities of Striate+™ products that embody the licensed IP and grant BioHorizons exclusive distribution rights of those products in dental bone regeneration procedures. Orthocell has embarked on a facility upgrade to enable scale up Striate+™ manufacturing capacity to >100,000 units per year. The initial construction phase was completed in August 2022.

Remplir[TM] Nerve Regeneration - Positive Remplir[TM] nerve regeneration results in quadriplegic patients

==> picture [54 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

In March 2022, Orthocell achieved Australian market approval for its Remplir™ peripheral nerve repair device, for introduction into the Australian nerve repair and regeneration market.

Inclusion of Remplir™ on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) follows a successful Conformity Assessment by the TGA with respect to the evaluation of the safety and performance of Remplir™ in peripheral nerve repair. Orthocell is now focused on achieving reimbursement by insurers and has submitted an application for inclusion on the Prostheses List. Since gaining market approval, Orthocell has obtained approval for use in public hospitals, including Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospital Group, and private hospital use of Remplir™ for workers compensation cases.

The final data read out of all patients in the Remplir™ (previously CelGro®) nerve regeneration trial at 24 months post-treatment was released in June, 2022. Patients received one or more nerve repairs augmented with Remplir™ in one or both upper limbs. Recovery after treatment was assessed by grading the strength of target muscles closest to the site of nerve repair. Follow-up data at 24 months post treatment was available for 14 of 19 patients involving 27 nerve repairs. Results showed that 85% (23 of 27) of nerve repairs resulted in functional recovery of target muscles closest to the repair site.

Positive clinical data demonstrates nerve repair with Remplir™ following injury to the spinal cord, brachial plexus and other peripheral arm/hand nerves, consistently restores arm and hand function. Functional gains were not only maintained but continued to improve between 12- and 24-months post-treatment.

Orthocell continues to work closely with Veranex (previously Experien Group), as the Company’s US regulatory advisers, to evaluate opportunities for expedited approval of Remplir™ for nerve regeneration. The team is working to confirm the

most appropriate US regulatory pathway, potential for inclusion in expedited programs and what this will mean for reimbursement value for the product.

CelGro® Tendon & Ligament repair - CelGro[®] tendon regeneration trial Tendon successful final results regeneration

The Company announced the publication of a prospective study evaluating the structural and biological properties of SmrtGraft™ (previously named CelGro® Tendon) and assessing the safety and effectiveness of its use in the augmentation of rotator cuff tendon surgical repairs. The findings represent a substantial advance in improving patient outcomes by reducing rates of revision surgeries.

Orthocell is progressing a targeted regulatory strategy to achieve US and AUS approval to market SmrtGraft™ for tendon repair procedures and continues to work towards the completion of a clinical trial relating to the positive performance of SmrtGraft™ in augmenting tendon repair.

– CelGro® collagen rope a potential breakthrough pipeline product for ligament repair

Orthocell has also developed an alternative to tendon graft made from braided CelGro® collagen fibres for ACL reconstruction. The CelGro® collagen rope is designed to significantly improve treatment efficiency and effectiveness by simplifying repair techniques, reducing surgery time and mitigating the risks associated with harvesting the patient’s hamstring tendon.

The Company completed its first pre-clinical Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction study in September 2021, which indicated that a novel CelGro™ collagen ‘rope’ has potential to be the first off-the-shelf biological device capable of improving ACL reconstruction outcomes.

In light of these results, Orthocell plans to advance development of this technology including a larger animal study followed by first-in-human trials and the development of an appropriate regulatory and reimbursement strategy to the US, AUS and EU markets.

OrthoATI™ can be used in both surgical and non-surgical applications and is at the forefront of a large and increasing market opportunity, estimated to be worth >US$7.7bn and growing.

Orthocell is currently conducting two clinical trials with OrthoATI™ - the first is focused on the rotator cuff and the second on tennis elbow tendon defects. Orthocell announced the first statistically significant results from its Phase 2a randomised, multi-centre, controlled rotator cuff tendon clinical study (‘RC Study’) in December 2021. In light of the initial study results, Orthocell has been progressing its US commercialisation plans including investigations into technology scale up, FDA engagement and commercial preparation activities being to support a Phase 2b randomised controlled study for FDA IND (Investigational New Drug) submission.

The release of the final data from the Phase 2a study is now expected for release in Q3 2022. These data include results from the treatment of the patients in the study that received steroids and after poor results – elected to “cross-over” to be treated with OrthoATI™. Success in this patient population will further confirm the efficacy of OrthoATI™ firmly placing Orthocell in a strong position to progress its US commercialisation strategy to deliver the first injectable cell therapy in orthopaedics for the treatment of chronic tendon injuries.

The second OrthoATI™ clinical trial focussed on treatment of tennis elbow is fully recruited and the last patient received treatment in May, 2022. Data will be released following the last patient 12 month follow up.

Corporate

In June 2022, the Company received a Research and Development (R&D) tax incentive cash refund of $2,143,955 for the financial year 2020/2021.

Cash reserves will be used to progress regulatory approvals and commercialisation of CelGro® for nerve and tendon regeneration into key markets following recent successful clinical results and growing demand from industry leading clinicians and potential partners for superior regenerative medicine medical devices. In addition, funds raised will be utilised to advance the development and commercialization of OrthoATI®, support continued business development and marketing initiatives and for general working capital purposes.

9. 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 predetermined 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 value 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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

16.Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The impact of the Coronavirus ('COVID-19') pandemic is ongoing for the consolidated entity up to 30 June 2022, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

On 17 July 2022 the Company issued 50,000 options with an expiry date of 14 October 2024 and an exercise price of $0.583, and 2,200,000 options with an expiry date of 13 July 2025 and exercise price of $0.403 to employees.

17.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 23 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 23 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.

18. Officers of the Company who are former audit partners of PKF Perth

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

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 forprofit 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 subsidiaries. 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.

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.

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.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

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 28.

Going Concern

The consolidated entity has net assets of $9,904,634 (2021: $16,874,357) as at 30 June 2022 and incurred a loss of $9,106,585 (2021: $9,037,025) and net operating cash outflow of $6,261,456 (2021: $4,633,330) for the year ended 30 June 2022.

Whilst the consolidated entity has incurred a loss of $9,106,585 and a net operating cash outflow of $6,261,456, the consolidated entity has $11,021,552 cash on hand at the reporting date and after year end received $21,461,686 (US $14,774,225) of the receivables balances related to the contracts from customers and at the reporting date the consolidated entity has A$30.2m cash on hand.

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

21

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position, the directors have had regard to the fact that the Company has, or in the directors’ opinion will have access to, sufficient cash to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities and results of Orthocell Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') and its subsidiaries Ausbiomedical Pty Ltd, Orthocell UK Ltd and Orthocell (US) LLC as at 30 June 2022. Orthocell Limited and its subsidiaries 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.

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, except where stated otherwise.

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

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised in accordance with AASB15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances,

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. 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 and recognises revenue, using the cost method, when or as performance obligations are satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Revenue from contracts licence fees

The consolidated entity derives revenue from contracts with customers. The revenue is recognised over time under the terms and conditions of the contract when the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access.

Sale of goods

The consolidated entity derives revenue from the sale of cell therapy products and biological scaffold products. The revenue derived from cell therapy products is recognised at the time when the patient’s cells have been processed and are ready to be delivered to the patient. The revenue derived from biological scaffold products is recognised at the time of delivery to the customer. Revenue derived from the sale of products under contract is recognised at the time of delivery to the customer.

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.

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

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.

Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first out' basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable

Inventory relating to work in progress is comprised of cell therapies (Ortho-ACI and Ortho-ACI) and scaffold batches still in production phase.

Cell therapies work in progress 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

24

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be 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 a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

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 yrs
Plant & equipment Diminishing value 3-7 yrs
Computer software Straight line 2-3 yrs
Furniture & fittings Diminishing value 10-15 yrs

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.

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 straightline basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. 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.

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 & technical feasibility, the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset, has sufficient resources, & intent to complete the development & its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straightline 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 10 years for Trademarks and 20 years for Patents.

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 10 years for Trademarks and 20 years for Patents from the date of application. Costs associated with maintaining intangibles are expensed as incurred. 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 26.

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 nonfinancial 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 pretax discount rate specific to the asset or cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets

26

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Contract liabilities

The company recognizes contract liabilities for consideration received in respective of unsatisfied performance obligations or where revenue is constrained and reports these amounts as contract liabilities (deferred revenue) in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the company satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the company recognize either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on where the something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue. Amounts expected to be recognised as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified within current liabilities. Amounts not expected to be recognised as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified within noncurrent liabilities.

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.

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.

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including nonmonetary 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.

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022

27

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The costs of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using the BlackScholes 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 nonfinancial, 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.

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.

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, believed 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, directors and consultants 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 Black-Scholes 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 expected credit losses

The provision for expected credit losses 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 patient’s 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.

Lease term

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Incremental borrowing rate

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

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. Other qualitative measures are also considered in the assessment of impairment.

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.

Revenue from contracts with customers

When recognising revenue from upfront payments from contracts with customers, the key performance obligation of the consolidated entity is considered to be over the term of the contract, as this is deemed to be the time that the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access.

When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of goods to customers under contracts, the key performance obligation of the consolidated entity is considered to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, as this is deemed to be the time that the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

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 where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. Employee benefit amounts are presented predominantly as current, as 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.

In consideration for the license granted, BioHorizons paid Orthocell AU $23,225,432 (US $16,000,000). Under the agreements Orthocell will supply BioHorizons with Striate+[TM] products at agreed transfer prices and grant exclusive distribution rights of those products globally. BioHorizons will market and distribute Striate+[TM] alongside its innovative and evidencebased dental implants and tissue regeneration products.

The contract liability relates to that portion of the upfront payment of AU $23,225,432 (US $16,000,000) for which there are future performance obligations to be satisfied. Under the terms of the contract BioHorizons have an exclusive license to use Orthocell’s Trademarks and Patents in connection with the marketing and sale of products (in the Field of Use, dental). The license terminates when the last patent expires (in approximately 10 years). The Company’s performance obligation is the maintenance of the Trademarks and Patents so that BioHorizons may receive and consume the benefits of having access to the Trademarks and Patents to promote and distribute the manufactured Striate products for the term of the license. There is no financing component within the contract and there is no requirement to obtain financing as the consolidated entity has sufficient working capital to meet its obligations under the contract and the consolidated entity has access to capital exclusive of the contract.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 18. Equity – issued capital (continued)

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. The Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements. On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.

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 value 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 to maximise synergies.

Note 21. 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 & liabilities such as trade receivables & trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, & 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 & 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 & 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:

Cash[(1)] 11,021,552 16,328,913

(1) The weighted average interest rate of cash is 0.01% (2021: 0.03%)

(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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 24. Contingent liabilities

On 22 June 2022 the Company entered into a global exclusive patent and trademark license agreement and an exclusive distribution and supply agreement with BioHorizons Implant Systems Inc (BioHorizons) in relation to Orthocell’s Striate+, a resorbable collagen membrane, manufactured by Orthocell, used for dental guided bone and tissue regeneration procedures. In consideration for the license granted, BioHorizons paid Orthocell AU $23,225,432 (US $16,000,000). Under the agreements Orthocell will supply BioHorizons with Striate+[TM] products at agreed transfer prices and grant exclusive distribution rights of those products globally. BioHorizons will market and distribute Striate+[TM] alongside its innovative and evidencebased dental implants and tissue regeneration products. There is no financing component within the contract and there is no requirement to obtain financing as the consolidated entity has sufficient working capital to meet its obligations under the contract and the consolidated entity has access to capital exclusive of the contract.

To ensure continuous supply and access to the IP, the parties have entered into an escrow arrangement and an IP security agreement. The escrow arrangement allows for the release of know-how to BioHorizons if there is a default by Orthocell under the Distribution Agreement (generally which is not rectified within 60 days of notice by BioHorizons). The IP security agreement allows the Licence Agreement to be registered with local IP offices (including IP Australia and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office).

Either party may terminate the Licence Agreement for material breach if such breach is not cured within 90 days after written notice from the other party. Either party may terminate the Distribution Agreement for material breach if such breach is not cured within 60 days after written notice from the other party.

The Distribution Agreement contains two separate regimes for change of control:

  • 1) “Sale Default” which is effectively a change in 50% of voting power or acquisition of at least 50% of ordinary shares of Orthocell, or a sale by Orthocell to an unrelated party (other than BioHorizons, Henry Schein Inc. or any of their Affiliates) of all or substantially all of the assets of Orthocell or of the business required by Orthocell to perform its obligations under the Distribution Agreement, in each case during the first three years of the Distribution Agreement. If this occurs, BioHorizons has a 20-day period following announcement of the proposed transaction (or otherwise becoming aware of the proposed transaction, in the case that Orthocell is no longer listed on the ASX) that would trigger a change of control during which it can claim a refund of the full licence fee (payable two weeks after completion of the relevant transaction), and the Agreements will automatically terminate. This will be BioHorizons’ sole remedy.

  • 2) “Supply Default” which is effectively a change in 50% of voting power or acquisition of at least 50% of ordinary shares of Orthocell in favour of a competitor of BioHorizons, or a sale by Orthocell to a competitor of BioHorizons of all or substantially all of the assets of Orthocell or of the business required by Orthocell to perform its obligations under the Distribution Agreement, or a change in manufacturing facilities, in each case during the first seven years of the Distribution Agreement, which results in a failure to supply Striate+™ products by Orthocell that were ordered by BioHorizons before the change of control event. If this occurs, BioHorizons can pursue two of the following three remedies: (i) release of know-how from escrow; (ii) a partial refund of license payments based on the number of anniversaries since the commencement of the Distribution Agreement; or (iii) 12 months’ worth of extra supply of Striate+™ products. This doesn’t preclude BioHorizons from pursuing other contractual remedies, usual for an agreement of this type, that may be available.

The consolidated entity has no other contingent liabilities for the year ended 30 June 2022.
