Chairman's Report
Introduction
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Paragon Care Limited, I am pleased to present to you our 2017 Annual Report.
The Period in Review
The financial year ended 30th June 2017 was another record year for the company. The financial results were again outstanding and these are detailed in the highlights below. Congratulations to all involved.
The focus for the 2017 year was the consolidation of the three major acquisitions made during the 2016 financial year — Designs For Vision, Western Biomedical, and Meditron. In addition, the company continued to focus on organic growth of the core business, which included the development of our own designed and sourced new product, namely the Stralus Aged Care bed. In its first year of operation, this bed has exceeded all of our sales expectations and has been positively received by a number of Aged Care groups. During the 2018 year, Paragon Care will further develop its Stralus range by the introduction of a competitively priced and state-of-the-art hospital bed for the Australian market.
Highlights for the year ended 30 June 2017 included:
- Revenue up 25% to 117.2M
- EBITDA of $17.1M, up 41% over the prior period and slightly ahead of market guidance.
- Net Profit after tax of $10.2M up 36% over the prior year.
- Earnings per share of 6.2 cents, up 11%.
- The Company's balance sheet remains sound with cash at year-end of $18.6M
- Paragon Care's share price increased 10% over the course of the financial year as investors continued to support the company strategy.
- Fully franked dividends for the year of 3 cents, up 36% from last year's full year dividend of 2.2 cents.
Two modestly sized acquisitions were made in July 2016 — Midas, a Health IT business, and Electro Medical Group, which operates in the medical equipment servicing sector. Both have fitted very well into Paragon Care. Of considerable interest going forward is the Midas business. This is the company's first investment into the fast-growing sector of Heath IT. Midas operates an interpretive reporting system that has outstanding applications and provides material efficiencies for both the Radiology and Cardiology sectors. Subject to performance over the next 2–3 years, the company plans to introduce Midas globally.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders of Paragon Care for their continued support. The management team led by Managing Director Mark Simari continues to deliver outstanding results and we move into the 2018 year with great confidence.

Likely developments and expected results of operations
The Company's focus for the coming year will be to continue to implement its strategy to become one of Australia's leading providers of medical equipment and consumable products to the health and aged care sector throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Leveraging the diverse product portfolio, Paragon Care will continue to penetrate high growth markets driven by the ageing of the population and continuously rising consumer expectations and increasing government spending.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Non-Executive Directors
The Board's policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. Detail of the remuneration of each Non-Executive Director is shown below. The Chairman in consultation with independent advisors determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders in a General Meeting, and is currently $250,000 per annum. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors' interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Non-Executive Directors' remuneration reflects the additional responsibilities each Director may take on from time to time. There are no termination benefits for Non-Executive Directors.
Directors' Fees
The current Director's fees were last reviewed with effect from 1 July 2015. The following fees have applied:
| Base Fees | 30 June 2016 | 30 June 2017 |

| Other Non-Executive Directors | $50,000 | $50,000 |
Executive Pay
The objective of the Group's Executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns Executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that Executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
- Competitiveness and reasonableness
- Acceptability to shareholders
- Performance linkage / alignment of Executive compensation
- Transparency
- Capital management
The Group has structured an Executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation.
The remuneration committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements. The remuneration committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of company Executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions and capacity to pay with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team. Remuneration packages are set at levels that attract and retain Executives capable of managing the Company's operations. Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director and Executives have been formalised in service agreements.
Agreements are structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the Executives' discretion.
The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2017
NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Paragon Care Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Paragon Care Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical costs convention modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by the Company at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity.
In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.
(c) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources, and assessing performance of the operating segments has, been identified as the Board of Directors.
(d) Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
(e) Revenue Recognition
Sale of goods
The group manufactures and sells a range of goods to the wholesale and end user market. Sales of goods are recognised when a group entity has delivered product and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the product. Delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped to the customer, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred, the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, duties and tax paid.
No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of between 30 and 60 days which is consistent with market practice.
Service
Revenue from service is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised under the percentage of completion method, based on the actual service provided as a percentage of the total services to be provided. Interest revenue is recognised on an accrual basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the Group's right to receive payment has been established.
(f) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
(f) Income Tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax consolidation
Paragon Care Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the 'stand-alone taxpayer' approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2008. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax payable by the Group in proportion to their contribution to the Group's taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.
(g) Leases
Leases of plant and equipment where the Group as lessee has substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
(h) Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable.
Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(i) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use,
(i) Impairment of Assets (Continued)
to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
(k) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership or provision of services of the underlying sales transactions have passed to customers. This event usually occurs on delivery of product or provision of services to customers. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement 30 days after the end of the month in which the invoice was raised. The collection of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when the Directors consider it is probable that the debt is impaired and that it will not be collected.
(l) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are comprised of direct material and direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(m) Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Those financial instruments entered into by the group are classified and measured as set out below.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.
Classification and subsequent measurement
(i) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade receivables, being generally on 30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for impaired debtors is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
(ii) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Due to their short term nature trade and other payables are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Hedge accounting
The group designates certain derivatives as either:
- (i) Hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or
- (ii) Hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).
At the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the Group's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions is documented. Assessments, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items, are also documented.
(i) Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, together with any changes in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk.
(ii) Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred to a hedge reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Amounts accumulated in the hedge reserve in equity are transferred to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or loss.
Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. Unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, the carrying amount of the Group's financial instruments approximates their fair value.
(n) Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is stated at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the historical cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on either a straight-line or diminishing value basis over the asset's useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Furniture, Fittings Equipment | 10–33% |
| Motor Vehicles | 14–25% |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(o) Investments in Associates
Associate companies are companies in which the Group has significant influence through holding, directly or indirectly, between 20% and 50% of the voting power of the Company. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group's share of net assets of the Associate Company. In addition the Group's share of the profit or loss of the Associate Company is included in the Group's profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the investor's share of the associate's profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the relation to the Group's investment in the associate.
When the reporting dates of the Group and the associate are different, the associate prepares, for the Group's use, financial statements as of the same date as the financial statements of the Group with adjustments being made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between that date and the date of the investor's financial statements.
When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume the recognition of its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.
(p) Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Software development
Software development costs are capitalised only when incurred.
Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the software, generally about three years. Initial TGA registration costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the product, generally 2–3 years.
(q) Trade and other Payables
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(r) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.
(s) Employee Benefits
Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave are recognised, and are measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at current pay rates in respect of employees' service up to that date.
Long service leave
A liability for long service leave is recognised, and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wages and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates on national corporate bond rates with terms of maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Superannuation
The Company contributed to multi-employer industry funds which provide retirement, disability and death benefits for employees. The Company is under no legal obligation to make up any shortfall in any of these funds.
Share Based Payments
Share-based compensation benefits may be provided directly by the issue of ordinary shares or options to employees. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefits expenses with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted.
The fair value of ASX listed ordinary shares or options is measured by the last sale price of the relevant ordinary shares or options on the ASX on or immediately prior to the date of issue. The fair value of unlisted options at grant date is determined using the Black-Scholes model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, 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 arrangement. An expense is taken up over the period during which the employees become entitled to the option.
(t) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(u) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example, as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.
(v) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating profit after income tax attributable to the Group 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 by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the year.
(w) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

NOTE 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions concerning the future, which, by definition will seldom represent actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant inherent risk in respect of estimates based on future events, which could have a material impact on the assets and liabilities in the next financial years, are discussed below:
Impairment of Goodwill
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. With respect to cash flow projections for the Group's businesses based in Australia, revenue growth rates of between 5% and 9% have been factored into valuation models for the next five years. This is on the basis of management's expectation of increased government expenditure in both the acute and aged care market sectors, much of which has already been publicly announced, and their belief in the Group's continued ability to capture a significant share of this expenditure. The rates used incorporate allowance for inflation. Pre-tax discount rates of 11.5% have been used in all models. No impairment has been recognised in respect of goodwill at the end of the reporting period.
Business combinations
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis as the consolidated entity has twelve months from acquisition date to finalise acquisition accounting. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities reported.
Further, the conditional payments owing to the vendors is based on the performance of the acquired entity which is measured by the EBITDA growth over a one to two year period. The estimation of the likely conditional payment was based on the consideration of all available information at the reporting date.
Provision for stock obsolescence
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.
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.

Foreign exchange forward contracts—Cash flow hedges
Companies within the group import materials from the United States, Europe and Asia. In order to protect against exchange rate movements, the group has entered into forward exchange contracts to purchase US dollars and Euro. These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted purchases for the ensuing financial year. The contracts are timed to mature when payments for major shipments are scheduled to be made.
The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the cash flows occur, the group adjusts the initial measurement of the component recognised in the balance sheet by removing the related amount from other comprehensive income.

Goodwill
After initial recognition, goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to the profitability of the business acquired. Impairment testing is undertaken by assessing the cash generated from the businesses and estimating the value of the businesses using cash flow projections. Refer note 2 for further details.

The bank has a first registered company charge over all assets and undertakings including uncalled capital of the consolidated entity. Lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assets recognised in the financial statements revert to the lessor in the event of default.
The company has entered into a trade finance facility agreement with National Australia Bank to facilitate the importation of goods into Australia from overseas. Individual import transactions are financed for a period not exceeding 180 days after the arrival of goods in Australia. This facility has been extended as part of the company's overall banking arrangements with Westpac and is therefore covered by the charge. Unlike the Bank loans this revolving trade finance facility does not have a reducing principle balance and is continuously utilised to provide a source of working capital more closely matching the inventory life cycle of imported products.
(b) Loan
The parent entity borrowed $2,225,000 from a private investor in June 2012. The loan is in two tranches. The company repaid $1,275,000 during the year through the issue of 2,260,178 shares @ $0.53 and the payment of $77,106. The balance of $950,000 was due for repayment on 1 July 2016. Interest, at 9.5% per annum, is payable quarterly in arrears. The Loan was repaid in July 2016.

(b) Capital Management
When managing capital, the directors' objective is to ensure the Company continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders. The directors also aim to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Company. The directors are constantly monitoring the Company's capital requirements and capital structure to take advantage of favourable opportunities for raising capital. The directors have no current plans to issue further shares or options on the market unless they conclude a further business acquisition. The directors monitor capital through the gearing ratio (net debt divided by total capital). The target for the Group's gearing ratio is below 30%.
The gearing ratios for the years ending 30 June 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
| 2017 | 2016$ | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | ||
| Total Borrowings | 37,067,779 | 38,154,475 |

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTE 19 Financial Risk Management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risk: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Derivative financial instruments are used by the Group to hedge exposure to exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency transactions. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes, ie not as trading or other speculative instruments.
(a) Market Risk
(i) Forward exchange risk
The Group enters into forward exchange contracts to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign currencies in the future at stipulated rates. The objective in entering into the forward exchange contracts is to protect the economic entity against unfavourable exchange rate movements for the purchases undertaken in foreign currencies.
The Group's risk management policy is to hedge between 40% and 100% of anticiptated cash flows (purchase of inventory) in Euro / US Dollars for the subsequent 12 months.
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:
| 2017 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Forward exchange contracts | ||
| • Buy foreign currency (cash flow hedges) | ||
| USD | 8,579,418 | 5,021,848 |
| Euro | 7,142,562 | 3,765,732 |
| 15,721,980 | 8,787,580 |
NOTE 19 Financial Risk Management (Continued)
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with the floating interest rate. The Company's policy is not to actively manage interest cost. At 30 June 2017 $6,263,812 (2016: $5,379,208) of the Company's debt is at a variable rate of interest.
The financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk are as follows:
| 2017 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Financial Assets | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents (interest bearing) | 18,555,941 | 19,116,930 |
| Financial Liabilities | ||
| Interest bearing liabilities — variable rate (current) | (6,263,812) | (5,379,208) |
| Interest bearing liabilities — fixed rate (current) | (2,235,013) | (2,183,557) |
| Interest bearing liabilities — variable rate (non-current) | - | - |
| Interest bearing liabilities — fixed rate (non-current) | (28,568,954) | (30,591,710) |
| (37,067,779) | (38,154,475) |
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of "A" are accepted. For customers, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by line management.
The Group has no significant exposure to any individual debtor of the Group and the credit risk is low for the majority of the balance. Receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and given the low risk profile of customers the Group's exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments.
(c) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Forecasted cash flows are used to calculate the forecasted liquidity position and to maintain suitable liquidity levels.
Financing Arrangements
The Group had access to the following borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group
As the acquisition of MIDAS Pty Ltd occurred on 25 July 2016 the revenue and profit of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017 reflects trading from 25 July 2016 to 30 June 2017 of the acquired business.

Provisional amounts
As the acquisition has only recently occurred the numbers presented for Net working capital, Plant and equipment, Employee Entitlements, Deferred Tax Asset and Goodwill on consolidation, including the estimate of vendor earn-out are presented as provisional amounts pending the completion of the fair valuation of assets acquired and forecasting of earnings for Financial year 2017.
Note 28 Business Combinations (Continued)
(b) Prior Period Business Combination Provisional Amounts Finalised
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the numbers presented for Net working capital, Plant and equipment, Employee Entitlements, Deferred Tax Asset and Goodwill on consolidation, including the estimate of vendor earn out presented as provisional amounts for the business combinations of Meditron Pty Ltd, Western Biomedical Pty Ltd and Designs For Vision Pty Ltd as at 30 June 2016 were finalised following completion of the fair valuation of assets acquired and forecasting of earnings for earn out purposes.
In July the Purchase Consideration – contingent was paid to the vendor of Meditron in a combination of cash and shares. Rental equipment with a written down value of $348,575 was reclassified from Working Capital to Plant and Equipment. In September a review of the acquisition of Western Biomedical was completed.
Inventory was reduced by $251,000 to reflect fair value at acquisition; Goodwill has been adjusted to reflect this.
In September, negotiations around the assets acquired at acquisition were settled with the vendors of Designs For Vision repaying $436,000 of the Purchase Consideration – cash and the Working Capital acquired was reduced by $1,346,062 to reflect fair value at acquisition after completing a review inventory at acquisition; Goodwill has been adjusted to reflect this. The impact of the above is to increase goodwill by $1,161,834 (as disclosed in note 13).

During the year ending 30 June 2017 the conditional payments on the earn outs for Western Biomedical and Designs for Vision have been finalised with the respective vendors.

WBM's final earnout was $424,380 and DFV's final earnout was $9,159,437. Total final earnout of the two entities is $9,583,817.
The impact was a reduction to the vendor earnout payable, resulting in a write back of $268,637. Refer other income Note 4.
