Dear Shareholders,

The 2012 financial year saw the beginning of the company’s turnaround after a difficult 2011. Whilst sales were still impacted by delays in the release of our new RIS technology platform, profit increased from $.5M to $1.79M due to a number of factors including ongoing cost reduction in the US. This, combined with increased cash reserves, has enabled the company to resume distributing dividends with the company declaring a .5c interim and a 1c final dividend both of which were fully franked.

During the year significant progress was made on the development of the company’s new RIS technology platform however last minute delays in releasing the product impacted new sales, particularly in Australia. The company is pleased to announce that the new RIS technology platform was commercially released in late August after it had been operating successfully in a fully comprehensive radiology practice for over a month. The new product was showcased at the recent RANZCR conference in Sydney in early September and feedback from client demonstrations has been very positive. This, plus the initial orders we have received for the new technology has confirmed our belief that this new system represents a quantum improvement over anything currently in the market.

The company has also continued investing in ongoing R & D of the Visage 7 suite of products which, based on the company’s unique thin client technology, combines conventional 2D x-ray imaging with the new 3D volume rendering of

images. Despite difficult trading conditions in both Europe and the US, sales of Visage technology have increased steadily over the past year.

In June of 2012 the company announced the sale of the Amira business to French company Visualization Sciences Group (VSG) which was completed in July for a sum of €12.1 million. Whilst the loss of Amira revenue will be felt initially, your directors believe this was our best opportunity to maximise the value of the Amira asset whilst at the same time provide the company with a high degree of balance sheet flexibility. Proceeds from the Amira sale will also provide significant additional resources to grow the base for the company’s Radiology Practice Management and Visage 7® suite of products.

Our aim has always been to integrate our new RIS technology platform with visage 7.0 thereby creating the first fourth-generation end-to-end singlevendor ‘thin client’ PACS/RIS solution in the market. With the release of our new technology platform in August we believe we are now positioned to achieve this aim enabling us to address the needs of a much broader market which includes both private imaging groups and hospitals of all sizes in the three global regions we service.

The company was pleased to acknowledge the inspirational legacy of our founding chairman Mel Ward AO who passed away in late 2010 with the inaugural presentation of the Mel Ward scholarship awarded annually to the two most promising students studying for their Masters of Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Melbourne’s School of Engineering.

Over the past year we have seen increased adoption of a pay per use pricing model. Whilst this does not have the same degree of upfront payment as an outright purchase (capital) model, it provides a growing revenue stream which longer term will provide greater predictability of future earnings.

The company continues to see the benefits resulting from management changes made late in 2010 with the return of Dr Sam Hupert as CEO as well as the new management structure put in place in North America in 2011. We anticipate these will continue to be instrumental in maintaining the company on a long term course of profitable growth.

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to our fellow directors and to the energetic team we have at both Pro Medicus and Visage Imaging, each of whom has contributed to a year that will put us on a solid path for the future.

Yours faithfully,

Pro Medicus has cash of $5.19 million as at the end of June 2012, up from $3.26 million in June 2011 an increase of 59.2%. This provides sufficient reserves to fund the anticipated growth of the business from internal sources. Peter Kempen Dr Sam Hupert The company remains debt free. CHAIRMAN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE

In February of 2009, the company acquired Visage Imaging in the US which has expanded the Pro Medicus product portfolio into the clinical imaging space as well as providing the company with its own presence in both Europe and the US.

The suite of Pro Medicus solutions which previously comprised of practice management, e-health and digital imaging integration products now includes 2-D and 3D digital radiology (PACS) and advanced visualisation clinical products plus a comprehensive range of services centred on the company’s numerous offerings. These include training and installation, hardware configuration and ongoing technical and end user support.

In addition to the 2-D PACS and 3-D/advanced visualisation products, the Visage Imaging acquisition brought with it a number of other revenue streams including OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and dealer relationships as well as to the Amira business which provides a 3-D imaging toolkit to educational and research institutions in the life sciences field throughout the world.

The activities of Pro Medicus in the financial year ending June 30, 2012 can be characterised by the following revenue streams:

system and a number of 3rd party PACS/digital imaging products allowing large diagnostic imaging providers to incrementally implement this technology across their enterprise. Revenue is generated from the sale of software licenses for the integration modules, implementation services and ongoing support.

Radiology Information Systems (RIS)/Practice Management

The business consists of a range of integrated software applications and services that are designed to aid the management of medical practices. The primary products in this area include medical accounting, clinical reporting, appointments/scheduling and marketing/management information applications. Services include network design and implementation, hardware sourcing and configuration, staff and management training and ongoing technical and end user support.

3-D Advanced Visualisation

Advanced visualisation allows CT and MRI images to be reconstructed in 3D and 4D (3D with motion). A growing number of specialist areas are being revolutionised by this technology including cardiology, where it provides 3-D reconstruction of coronary arteries from high definition CT images, PET CT (oncology) and advanced areas of stroke treatment and neuroradiology. This product can be interfaced to a broad range of thirdparty PACS Systems is sold as a 3-D “plug in“. Revenue is derived by sale of licences and ongoing support.

E-health

Pro Medicus’ Internet-based e-health offering, promedicus.net, enables referring doctors to receive encrypted clinical reports via the Internet to a centralised “In-Tray” run on a doctor’s computer. These reports are then electronically incorporated into the patients’ medical record, doing away with the need for double handling or manual filing. Over 26,000 Australian doctors are registered users of promedicus.net.

The Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer

The Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer combines the 3D/4D and advanced visualisation capabilities with the full gamut of 2D reading functionality creating a truly unique thin client streaming Universal viewing platform that enables radiologist to read anything from a 2-D chest x-ray to a complicated 3-D cardiac study all within the one viewer. The Enterprise viewer can be interfaced with a broad range of third party image archiving and distribution products. These include other 3rd party PACS systems upon which Visage technology can be overlaid as well as the growing industry

Integration products

Digital Radiology or PACS (Picture Archive and Communication Systems) radiology images are acquired digitally and viewed on high-resolution monitors without the need to convert the images to x-ray film. Images, clinical documents and the subsequent diagnostic report are stored and linked electronically.

Pro Medicus has developed a range of highly modular integration products which provide a seamless interface between the Pro Medicus

trend for vendor neutral archives (VNA). Traditionally revenue for this product has been generated from sale of licences and ongoing support however we are seeing the increased adoption of a pay per use licensing model which is helping to build growing annuity revenue streams for the company in both the US and Europe.

Visage 3D PACS

As a result of the extensive R & D undertaken post the Visage Imaging acquisition, the company now has its own comprehensive 2D-3D / PACS offering which combines the Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer with the ability to store and archive radiological images creating one of the world’s first “3-D PACS”. The company is now selling this solution in Australia, North America and select countries within Europe.

Due to the highly modular nature of our product offering, Visage technology can be successfully deployed in the vast majority of radiology environments including private imaging centres, remote reading/teleradiology groups as well as community and large teaching hospitals opening up markets previously not available or only partially accessible to us.

Life Sciences — Research

Amira, acquired as part of Visage Imaging, is a division that sells software toolkits via a Web store to universities and research institutions working in the life sciences area. The product enables these institutions to produce complex 3-D models via the toolkit. Revenue is derived from the sale of the licences and ongoing support contracts.

The Amira business was sold to Visualization Sciences Group (VSG) in July for a sum of €12.1 million.

IN ADDITION TO THE MELBOURNE-BASED AUSTRALIAN OPERATION AND HEAD OFFICE, THE COMPANY HAS TWO OFFSHORE OFFICES:

Visage GmbH Berlin

This is the company’s European headquarters and houses 41 staff, the majority which are involved in product research and development and ongoing product support. This office also forms the base of the company’s European operations including order administration and both direct and indirect sales activities.

Visage Imaging Inc San Diego

This is the company’s US headquarters and is the base for 10 staff who are involved in sales, marketing, training/implementation and applications support for both the Visage Imaging offerings and the existing Pro Medicus products.

THE MEL WARD SCHOLARSHIP IS AWARDED ANNUALLY TO TWO HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS UNDERTAKING THE ONE YEAR MASTER OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING COURSE AT MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ENGINEERING.

THE SCHOLARSHIP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IN MEMORY OF MEL WARD AO THE COMPANYS FOUNDING CHAIRMAN WHO PASSED AWAY IN OCTOBER OF 2010.

Australia

The Australian business recorded fewer than anticipated sales largely due to last minute delays in the release of the company’s new technology platform which was commercially released in August 2012. These delays also impacted sales of Visage technology as groups looked to purchase fully integrated Practice Management / Digital Imaging solutions. Sales are expected to improve now that the company’s new technology platform has been released.

E-health revenues were slightly down, but overall this segment held up very well in a highly competitive environment.

United States

The group employs 10 people in North America to fulfill the sales marketing and professional services roles. Revenue from North America declined by 3.8% compared to the previous year much of this decline attributable to currency fluctuations. The company made a number of changes in the group’s US management and operations during the past year including a significant decrease in overall running costs. These include the appointment of a new technical director/head of customer experience. The US also extended its market reach with the sale of the Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer to a key client in the rapidly growing remote reading/teleradiology market. The company believes these changes will have a positive impact on the performance of the North American division.

Europe

Revenue from our European operations increased by 24.6% compared to the previous year making it a solid contributor to our overall result despite the increasingly difficult business environment in this region. This was primarily due to the increased revenue from OEM, Amira and some direct sales. Whilst in the short term revenues may be impacted due to the sale of Amira, we remain optimistic about the future growth potential in Europe which we believe will come about by alliances with new business partners and a stronger focus on direct sales.

THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT BELIEVE THE COMPANY IS WELL POSITIONED TO BUILD ON THE SOLID PROGRESS IT HAS MADE THROUGHOUT THE 2012 FINANCIAL YEAR. DESPITE DIFFICULT TRADIN G CONDITIONS IN NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE NEW RIS TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM COUPLED WITH THE EXPANDED VISAGE PRODUCT SUITE WILL PROVIDE THE COMPANY WITH THE FOUNDATION FOR GROWTH IN ITS THREE KEY MARKETS HELPING OFFSET THE EXPECTED DECREASE IN REVENUE DUE TO THE SALE OF THE AMIRA BUSINESS.

Key factors predicted to dr ive growth include:

Expanded geographical footprint

enhance its business partner and third party channels thereby availing itself of a cost-effective means of product distribution in areas not addressable by a direct sales force.

The company is looking to build on its presence in North America and Europe as well as consolidate its position in Australia. In Europe and America, we believe our strategy of developing direct sales and complementary third party business channels will result in an increasing proportion of the company’s revenues being generated in these regions.

The company believes that the trend towards a pay per use licensing model will continue to increase as more and more clients opt for an operational model. This has the potential to build growing annuity revenue streams to supplement the upfront capital licence model that has traditionally been used.

New fully integrated product offering

Release of New Technology

With the release of our new RIS technology platform in August of this year, we have now fulfilled our aim of fully integrating our new RIS/ Practice Management platform with our leading edge Visage 7.0 suite of products thereby creating the first fourth-generation, end-to-end singlevendor ‘thin client’ PACS/RIS solution in the market. This comprehensive suite of products will enable us to address the needs of a much broader market which includes both private imaging groups and hospitals of all sizes in the three global regions

The company has now released its New Technology RIS Platform. This platform, the culmination of over four years of intense R & D effort will see Pro Medicus cement its position at the forefront of radiology information system (RIS) and practice management technology. A key feature of this technology is the ability for clients to configure business-specific workflow and rules to suit their needs without the need to customize the program, a new concept for the radiology industry.

The company will also continue to make significant investments in R&D for its flagship Visage 7 suite of products which it believes will further help differentiate our offering in both the PACS and 3-D advanced visualisation space.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

European operations. Revenue from our European operations increased by 24.6% compared to the previous year.

Investment Activities

due to delays in commercialisation of the company’s new RIS technology platform to market.

Surplus funds are invested by the Group in a cash management account to maximise the interest return.

Financials

Performance Indicators

Profit after tax for the period was $1.79 million an increase of 256.1% from the previous year reflecting higher margins and decreased ongoing costs.

The Group remains committed to providing staff with access to appropriate training and development programs, together with the resources to complete their duties.

The directors express their gratitude for the efforts of the management team and all employees in achieving this year’s result.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Capital Structure

The company has a sound capital structure with a strong statement of financial position, with no debt.

Treasury Policy

With the increase in overseas operations there is an increased currency risk as a consequence of contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies. Whilst this is offset to a degree by having operations in North America and Europe, this change in risk profile has been noted by the board and action is being taken to manage this risk.

The treasury function, co-ordinated within Pro Medicus Limited, is limited to maximising interest return on surplus funds and managing currency risk. The treasury operates within policies set by the Board, which is responsible for ensuring that management’s actions are in line with board policy.

Cash from Operations

Net cash flows from operating activities for the current period was a positive $5.57m, with receipts from customers totalling $16.11m compared with payments of $8.72m to suppliers and employees. The group continued to hold total cash assets of $5.19 million and increase of 59.5% from last year.

Liquidity and Funding

The Group is cash flow positive, has adequate cash reserves and has no overdraft facility. Sufficient funds are held to finance operations.

Risk Management

The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board.

The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to participate in this process, as such the Board has

A Final Dividend of 1.0 cents per share has been declared post 1 July. Please refer Note 10.

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include the following:

On 31 July 2012, the Group publicly announced that Amira, the asset held for sale (Note 8) was sold to a Visualization Sciences Group (VSG). The consideration for the sale of Amira was €12.1m (approx $14.1m) and after deducting transaction costs and the carrying value of the intangible asset, the profit after tax is estimated to be $8.1m. Please refer to Note 21.

  • Board approval of strategic plans, which encompass the company’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholder needs and manage business risk;

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

  • Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs; and

The Directors foresee that the 2013 financial year will be a year of continued growth in both the local and overseas markets. It is anticipated this will result from:

  • Overseeing of appropriate backup procedures for important company data

  • The group’s expanded product portfolio that includes advanced visualisation, PACS (Digital Imaging) 3-D and 4-D capability.

  • Routine review by key executives of its established Quality Assurance program and corrective action recommendations stemming from it

  • The increased adoption of advanced visualisation and 3-D capability throughout the radiology profession.

Statement of Compliance

The above report is based on the guidelines in The Group of 100 Incorporated publication Guide to the Review of Operations and Financial Condition.

As a result, it is anticipated that the 2013 financial year will show continued improvement in profits. However, this is dependant on many market factors over which the directors have limited or no control.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

Shareholders’ equity increased by 5.3% from $15.20m to $16.00m. This movement was largely the result of profit during the year and retaining cash in the business.

The Group has no identified risk with regard to environmental regulations currently in force. There have been no known breaches by the Group of any regulations.

Remuneration committee

Remuneration philosophy

The Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Non-Executive Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full Board reviews the terms of employment for all executives.

Remuneration and nomination issues are handled at the full Board level. The Board due to the small number of directors decided this. No Committees for these functions have been established at this time.

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

The assessment considers the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team.

Board members, as per groupings detailed below, are responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements. In order to maintain good corporate governance the Non-Executive Directors assume responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Executive Directors of the Group.

To this end, the company provides competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive’s remuneration is separate and distinct.

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 Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 4 November 2005 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $500,000 per year.

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

Each director receives a fee for being a director of the company. No additional fee is paid for time spent on Audit Committee business.

Non-executive directors have long been encouraged by the board to hold shares in the company (purchased by the director on market). It is considered good governance for the directors to have a stake in the company on whose board he sits. The non-executive directors of the company participate in the Employee Share Incentive Scheme [Option based] which was established in 2000 to provide incentive for participants.

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the period ending 30 June 2012 is detailed in Table 1 of this report.

Executives

(including Executive Directors remuneration)

Objective

The group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the group and so as to:

  • align the interests of executives with those of shareholders;

▶ ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

Employment Contracts have been entered into with all executives of the Group. Details of these contracts are provided on page 22.

Remuneration consists

predominately of fixed remuneration. Variable remuneration is provided occasionally at the board’s discretion including both short term incentives (STI) and long term incentives (LTI).

The Company does not have a policy regarding executives entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to share options granted as part of their remuneration package.

Fixed Remuneration

Objective

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

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually and the process consisting of a review of group wide, business and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. As noted above, the company conducting the review has access to external advice independent of management.

Executives, including Executive Directors are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that

the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the group.

The fixed remuneration is detailed in Table 1 of this report.

Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI)

Roderick Lyle was granted options in the current year under the Employee Share Option Scheme and in the previous year Danny Tauber was granted options under the Employee Share Option Scheme.

The options granted tor Roderick Lyle and Danny Tauber both have a 5 year vesting period.

A long term incentive plan was established during the year whereby Senior Executives of Group were offered performance rights over the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The performance rights, issued for nil consideration, are offered for a 5 year period and vest 3 years after granting date on completion of service. This long term incentive plan includes performance hurdles related to the company and investing conditions relating to the employee’s period of service. Refer to Note 19.

Variable Pay

– Short Term Incentive (STI)

Short term incentives in the form of cash bonuses were paid to key staff based on a mix of company based and personal performance targets.

STI bonus for 2012

For the 2012 financial year, no STI cash bonus either paid or accrued at year end was paid to the Key Management Personnel.

Key Performance Indicators

Actual STI payments granted to Malte Westerhoff depended on the extent to which specific targets set at the time of employment were met. The targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering both financial (Sales Targets) and non-financial measures of performance.

AAS ~~B~~ 124 ( ~~Re~~ l ~~a~~ t ~~e~~ d ~~Pa~~ rty D ~~i~~ sclosur ~~e~~ s ~~— Re~~ v ~~i~~ s ~~e~~ d)

1. CORPORATE

INFORMATION

The financial report of Pro Medicus Limited (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2012 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 24 August 2012.

Party Disclosures (December 2009) simplifies the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition, including:

(a) The definition now identifies a subsidiary and an associate with the same investor as related parties of each other

Pro Medicus Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian stock exchange.

(b) Entities significantly influenced by one person and entities significantly influenced by a close member of the family of that person are no longer related parties of each other

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. SUMMARY OF

(c) The definition now identifies that, whenever a person or entity has both joint control over a second entity and joint control or significant influence over a third party, the second and third entities are related to each other

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • (a) Basis of Preparation The financial report is a

general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards board. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) unless otherwise stated.

A partial exemption is also provided from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities. Entities that are related by virtue of being controlled by the same government can provide reduced related party disclosures.

AASB 2009-12 (Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards) Makes numerous editorial changes to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

In particular, it amends AASB 8 Operating Segments to require an entity to exercise judgement in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. It also makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRS by the IASB.

(b) Statement of compliance with IFRS

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

  • (c) New accounting standards and interpretations

  • (i) Changes in Accounting policy and disclosures

AASB 2010-5 (Amendments to

Australian Accounting Standards)

The accounting polices adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows: The Group has adopted the following new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as of 1 July 2011. Adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

— This Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRS by the IASB.

These amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the amended pronouncements.

AAS ~~B~~ 10 5 4 (Austr ~~a~~ l ~~ia~~ n Add ~~i~~ t ~~i~~ on ~~a~~ l D ~~i~~ sclosur ~~e~~ s)

of phase 1 of the joint Trans-Tasman Convergence project of the AASB and FRSB.

This standard, with AASB 20111 relocates all Australian specific disclosures from other standards to one place and revises disclosures in the following areas:

  • (a) Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards

  • (b) The statutory basis or reporting framework for financial statements

  • (c) Whether the entity is a for-profit or not-for-profit entity

  • (d) Whether the financial statements are general purpose or special purpose

  • (e) Audit fees

  • (f) Imputation credits

AASB 2010-4 (Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project)

[AASB 1, AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 134 and Interpretation 13]

Emphasises the interaction between quantitative and qualitative AASB 7 disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments.

Clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.

Provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in AASB 134 for significant events and transactions.

Clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken into account.

Fair Value
Measurement
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance

is required to use fair value, but rather, provides
guidance on how to determine fair value when fair
value is required or permitted. Application of this
defnition may result in different fair values being
determined for the relevant assets.
AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements
for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This
includes information about the assumptions made
and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on
the fair value determined.

comprehensive income. It also revised the method
of calculating the return on plan assets.
The revised standard changes the defnition of
short-term employee benefts. The distinction
between short-term and other long-term employee
benefts is now based on whether the benefts are
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months
after the reporting date.

Financial
Instruments
AASB 9 includes requirements for the classifcation
and measurement of fnancial assets. It was further
amended by AASB 2010-7 to refect amendments
to the accounting for fnancial liabilities.
These requirements improve and simplify the
approach for classifcation and measurement of
fnancial assets compared with the requirements of
AASB 139. The main changes are described below.
(a) Financial assets that are debt instruments
will be classifed based on (1) the objective of
the entity’s business model for managing the
fnancial assets; (2) the characteristics of the
contractual cash fows.
(b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial
recognition to present gains and losses on
investments in equity instruments that are not
held for trading in other comprehensive income.
Dividends in respect of these investments that
are a return on investment can be recognised
in proft or loss and there is no impairment or
recycling on disposal of the instrument.
(c) Financial assets can be designated and
measured at fair value through proft or loss
at initial recognition if doing so eliminates
or signifcantly reduces a measurement or
recognition inconsistency that would arise from
measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the
gains and losses on them, on different bases.
(d) Where the fair value option is used for fnancial
liabilities the change in fair value is to be
accounted for as follows:
▶The change attributable to changes in credit
risk are presented in other comprehensive
income (OCI)
▶The remaining change is presented in proft
or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting
mismatch in the proft or loss, the effect of the
changes in credit risk are also presented in proft
or loss.
Consequential amendments were also made to
other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced
by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7
and 2010-10.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 31

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont.

(d) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Pro Medicus Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the group).

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a group controls another entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intragroup transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non–controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.

The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair value of any pre– existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Non–controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

Losses are attributed to the non– controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it

  • Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary.

  • Derecognises the carrying amount of any non–controlling interest.

  • Derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity.

  • Recognises the fair value of the consideration received.

  • Recognises the fair value of any investment retained.

  • Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss.

  • Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss.

(e) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non–controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non–controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition–related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

(f) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues.

Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers – being the executive management team.

The group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics and the segments are similar in each of the following respects:

  • Nature of the products and services

  • Type or class of customer for the products and services

  • Nature of the regulatory environment

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements

Information about other business

activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”.

(g) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from the installation and ongoing support of software applications and services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of a contract or contracts in progress. Stage of completion is measured by completion of identifiable service segments as a percentage of the total services to be provided for each contract, which is determined by a quotation with the customer.

Service Revenue is recognised over the term of the contract. Where revenue is received in advance, revenue is recognised in the period during which the service is provided.

Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured, revenue is recognised only to the extent that costs have been incurred.

Licences

License revenue is recognised when control of the right to be compensated for the license can be reliably measured. License revenue is recognised when ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, which is usually after the software application has been installed and is ready for use by the buyer.

Interest

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(h) Leases

The determination of whether

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

Group as a lessee

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight–line basis over the lease term.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the

statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes of value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.

(j) Trade and other receivables

Trade and intercompany receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

A provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence that Pro Medicus will not be able to collect the debts. Financial difficulty of the debtors is considered objective evidence by the Group. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(k) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods represents the purchase cost.

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

(l) Derivative financial instruments and hedging

The Group has not transacted any derivative financial instruments to hedge its risk associated foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations.

(m) Investments and other financial assets

Investments and financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are categorised as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held–to–maturity investments, or available–for–sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired or originated. Designation is re– evaluated at each reporting date, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 33

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont.

Recognition and derecognition

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets has expired or when the entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial assets. If the entity neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards, it derecognises the asset if it has transferred control of the assets.

Subsequent measurement

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on financial assets held for trading are recognised in profit or loss and the related assets are classified as current assets in the statement of financial position.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including loan notes and loans to key management personnel are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired. These are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after reporting date, which are classified as non–current.

(n) Foreign currency translation

  • (i) Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation currency of Pro Medicus Limited and its Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars ($). The United States subsidiaries’ functional currency is United States Dollars. The subsidiary in Germany has a functional currency of Euro. Foreign subsidiaries are translated to presentation currency (see below for consolidated reporting).

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date.

Non–monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non–monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

(iii) Translation of Group Companies’ functional currency to presentation currency

The results of the United States and German subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars (presentation currency) using an average exchange rate for the trading period. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date.

Exchange variations resulting from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investments in foreign subsidiaries are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. If a foreign subsidiary were sold, the proportionate

share of exchange differences would be transferred out of equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(o) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

▶ where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

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

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry–forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

▶ where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred

income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.

Tax consolidation legislation

Pro Medicus Limited and its wholly– owned Australian controlled entities implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2009.

The head entity, Pro Medicus Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the Group allocation approach to determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Pro Medicus also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

Pro Medicus Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 January 2009. Pro Medicus Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. An allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities of the tax consolidated group will be made should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No such amounts have been recognised in the financial statements on the basis that the possibility of default is remote.

(p) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

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

(q) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

PropertyImprovements 2012
2 to 7years
2011
2 to 7years
Motor Vehicles
Offce Equipment
4 to 5years
2 to 7years
4 to 5years
2 to 7years
Furniture and Fittings
Research and Development Equipment
5years
3 to 4 years
5years
3 to 4 years

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.

Any gain or loss arising on de–recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.

Impairment

The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

34 ANNUAL REPORT 2012

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 35

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont.

If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash–generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre–tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(r) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets with a finite life are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. The recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value.

The amortisation period and method is renewed at each financial year end and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

Research and

development costs Research costs are expensed as incurred.

An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for sale or use, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of expected benefit from the related project (5 years).

Development expenditure includes costs of materials and services and salaries and wages and other employee related costs arising from the generation of the intangible asset.

The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period.

Intellectual Property – Software

Three separately identifiable intangible assets, in the form of software intellectual property, have previously been identified in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging;

▶ Visage CS

▶ Visage PACS and

▶ Amira

Following initial recognition, Intellectual property is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation. A useful life of 5 years has been determined.

Software Licenses

The Group identified a separate intangible asset in the form of software licenses, in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging.

Following initial recognition, software licenses are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation. A useful life of 4 years has been determined.

Customer List

The Group identified a separate intangible asset in the form of a customer list, in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging.

Following initial recognition, the customer list is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation. A useful life of 4 years has been determined.

(s) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and 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.

(t) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date.

Dividends payable are recognised when a legal or constructive obligation to pay the dividend arises, typically following approval of the dividend at a meeting of directors.

(u) Employee leave benefits

Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date.

(i) Wages salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave, expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non–accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid.

(ii) Long Service Leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date, using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible the estimated future cash outflows.

(v) Share based payment transactions

(i) Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to its employees (including KMP) in the form of share–based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity– settled transactions).

There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits:

  • The Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP), which provides benefits to directors and senior executives.

The cost of these equity–settled transactions with employees (for awards granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested at 1 January 2005) is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model, further details of which are given in note 19.

In valuing equity–settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Pro Medicus Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity–settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income is the product of:

  • (i) The grant date fair value of the award;

(ii) For options with non–market

vesting conditions, the current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non–market performance conditions being met; and

(iii) The expired portion of the vesting period.

The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.

If the terms of an equity–settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share– based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity–settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (see note 9).

(w) 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.

(x) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

36 ANNUAL REPORT 2012

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 37

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group adjusted for

– Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends)

– The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

– Other non–discretionary changes in revenue or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares and

– Dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element.

and then divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

(y) Comparatives

Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

(z) Government Grants

Research and Development tax credits are recognized in accordance with AASB 120: Accounting for Government Grants and Government Assistance. The Research and development tax credit is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all conditions have been complied with. The Grant is recognised as a reduction to the cost base of the intangible and released to income as a reduction in amortization expense over the expected useful life of the related asset. The amount recognized for the period to 30 June 2012 is $463,242.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods.

Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

(i) Significant accounting judgements

Recovery of deferred tax assets:

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.

Capitalisation of Development costs:

Development costs are only capitalised by the Group when it can be demonstrated that the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset is valid so that the asset will be available for use or sale.

Impairment of non–financial assets

The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Given the current uncertain economic environment management considered that the indicators of impairment were significant enough and as such these assets have been tested for impairment in this financial period.

Taxation

The Group’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from un–recouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences in investments, caused principally by retained earnings held in foreign tax jurisdictions, are recognised unless repatriation of retained earnings can be controlled and are not expected to occur in the foreseeable future.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Assumptions about the generation
of future taxable profts and
repatriation of retained earnings
depend on management’s estimates
of future cash fows. These depend
on estimates of future sales
volumes, operating costs, capital
expenditure, dividends and other
capital management transactions.
Judgements are also required
about the application of income
tax legislation. These judgements
and assumptions are subject to
risk and uncertainty, hence there
is a possibility that changes in
circumstances will alter expectations,
which may impact the amount of
deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities recognised on the statement
of fnancial position and the amount
of other tax losses and temporary
differences not yet recognised. In
such circumstances, some or all of
the carrying amounts of recognised
deferred tax assets and liabilities
may require adjustment, resulting in a
corresponding credit or charge to the
statement of comprehensive income.
(ii) Signifcant accounting
estimates and assumptions
Capitalisation of
development costs
The capitalisation of development
costs includes an overhead rate
which has been estimated from total
costs. The estimated development
overheads rate has been calculated
by dividing the development labour
costs over total labour costs to give
a percentage of development labour
rate. The development labour rate
is then applied against the total
overheads of the company, to give an
estimate of the amount of overheads
that relates to development.

The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit assessment.

Liquidity risk

The Group has minimal liquidity risk as it has cash reserves of $5.2m, with no borrowings.

In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

These cash reserves are deemed to be adequate and the Board believes they will underpin the ongoing growth of the business.

As the Group trades predominantly within the Diagnostic Imaging market there is a concentration of credit risk. Given the underlying Government funding support for Radiology in Hospital settings and the Imaging Centre and Diagnostic Imaging market, and the commercial successes achieved by the Group to date, credit risk is considered to be minimal.

The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay–offs for settlement and repayments resulting from recognised financial liabilities. Cash flows for financial liabilities without fixed amount of timing are based on the conditions existing at 30 June 2012.

Capital Management

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity.

Management review the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares.

During the year, the company paid dividends of $501,400 (2011: $2,005,600).

25. CONTINGENCIES

Tax related contingencies

Amended assessments from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

As a result of the ATO’s program of routine and regular tax audit, the Group anticipates that ATO audits may occur in the future. The Group is similarly subject to routine tax audits in certain overseas jurisdictions. The ultimate outcome of any future tax audits cannot be determined with an acceptable degree of reliability at this time. Newvertheless, the Group believes that it is making adequate provision for its taxation liabilities (including amounts shown as deferred and current tax liabilities) and is taking reasonable steps to address potentially contentious issues with the ATO. However, there may be an impact to the Group of any of the revenue authority investigations results in an adjustment that increases the Group’s taxation liabilities.

Ongoing transactions – transfer pricing

The Group has offshore operations in the United States and Germany (note 24). As disclosed in note 24, there are extra Group transactions, which include the Company and its US and German based subsidiaries Visage Imaging Inc and Visage Imaging GmbH and Pro Medicus Limited. These transactions are on an arm’s length basis and are conducted at normal market prices and on normal commercial terms.

Whilst there are no investigations currently in progress, such transactions are not subject to any statutory limit in Australia.

66 ANNUAL REPORT 2012

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 67

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT cont.

Pro Medicus Limited’s corporate governance practices were in place throughout the year ended 30 June 2012.

Structure of the Board

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report.

The composition of the Board was determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:

  • The Board should comprise at least four directors and should maintain a majority of non–executive directors, or at least a 50/50 ratio of non– executives and executive directors;

  • The Chairperson must be a non– executive director and not occupy the role of CEO;

  • The Board should comprise directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and

  • The Board shall meet monthly and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items.

Directors of Pro Medicus Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.

In the context of director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount.

Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the company’s loyalty.

In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following directors of Pro Medicus Limited are considered to be independent:

NAME POSITION

P T Kempen Chairman, Non–Executive Director, Chairman Audit Committee

R Lyle Non–Executive Director

The Board wishes to advise that it continues to maintain responsibility for the actions of the chief executive officer and any tasks delegated to the management by the Board.

Directors’ Appointment Letters have not been revised in the prescribed format as the board considered this unnecessary given the small number of fairly recently appointed current directors who understand their roles and responsibilities. The board has undertaken that the recommended format should be used for any future director appointments.

Mr. Sam Hupert and Mr. Anthony Hall were directors in Pro Medicus Pty Ltd since incorporation in 1983. Mr. Peter Kempen was appointed in March 2008 and Mr Roderick Lyle was appointed in November 2010.

Performance

The performance of the board and key executives is reviewed regularly against both measurable and qualitative indicators. During the reporting period the board conducted performance evaluations that involved an assessment of each board member’s and key executive’s performance against specific and measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria.

The performance criteria against which directors and executives are assessed are aligned with the financial and non–financial objectives of Pro Medicus Limited.

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the Chairman annually reviews the performance of all Directors who will be asked to retire from the board if not performing in a satisfactory manner.

Trading policy

Under the group’s security trading policy, an executive, director, or any employee of the group, must not trade in any securities of the parent company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price– sensitive information in relation to those securities.

Before commencing to trade, an executive must first obtain the approval of the Company Secretary to do so and a director must obtain approval of the Chairman.

Only in exceptional circumstances will approval be forthcoming inside of the period which is 30 days after:

  • One day following the announcement of the half–yearly and full year results as the case may be.

  • One day following the holding of the annual general meeting.

  • One day after any other form of earnings forecast update is given to the market.

Code of Conduct

The board has developed a “Code of Conduct”” consistent with the recommendations and details are disclosed on the company website.

Committees

Due to the small number of Directors, the Board decided it was more appropriate to handle nomination and remuneration issues at full Board level. No Committees for these functions have been established at this time.

In addition the full Board handles any matters as and when they arise concerning environmental issues, occupational health and safety, finance and treasury.

In order to maintain good corporate governance the Non–Executive Directors assume responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Executive Directors of the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Non–Executive Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full Board reviews the terms of employment for all executives.

The Board has delegated the responsibility of executive remuneration to the management who will assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team.

The appointment of appropriately skilled Non–Executive Directors, together with a broadly unchanged business base has meant no new director nominations have been required to date.

Strategic planning has been an important objective of the Board. Meetings are scheduled so that all Board members can attend and are conducted in an informal fashion to allow non–executive directors to gain enhanced industry, customer, product and research knowledge.

Audit Committee

The board has established an audit committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board.

It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes. This also includes the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and reliability of financial information as well as non–financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators.

The members of the audit committee are:

P T Kempen Chairman

S A Hupert

A B Hall

R Lyle

The audit committee is also responsible for nomination of the external auditor and reviewing the adequacy of the scope and quality of the annual statutory audit and half yearly audit review.

Due to the small number of Directors, all members of the Board serve on the Audit Committee, whilst the Board Chairman is also the Audit Committee Chairman as his area of expertise is in Accounting and Finance.

Board Functions

As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.

The Board has delegated responsibility for the operation and administration of the group to the Chief Executive Officer and the executive team (as detailed in Note 23). The Board ensures that

this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the Chief Executive and the executive team.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved. In addition to the establishment of the committee referred to above, these mechanisms include the following:

  • approval of strategic plans, which encompass the entity’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk;

  • involvement in developing the strategic plan (a dynamic document) and approving initiatives and strategies designed to ensure the continued growth and success of the entity;

  • overseeing implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and monitoring of progress against budget – this includes the establishment and monitoring of key performance indicators (both financial and non– financial) for all significant business processes; and

  • utilising appropriately skilled professionals to provide advice on relevant discussion topics and procedures to allow Directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense.

As required by the ASX listing rules, the Group notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by directors in the securities of the parent company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT cont.

Monitoring of the Board’s Performance and Communication to Shareholders – Continuous Disclosure Policy

The board has developed a written policy to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules on continuous disclosure and has adopted measures to ensure the market and shareholders are fully informed. The measures in place require all potential market sensitive matters are discussed with the Chief Executive Officer who in conjunction with the Chairman and other relevant directors decide whether to make an appropriate announcement to the market.

Only nominated authorised persons have the authority to release these communications to the ASX. This policy is displayed on the company website.

Shareholder Communication

The Board of Directors aims to ensure that the shareholders, on behalf of whom they act, are informed of all information necessary to assess the performance of the Directors. Information is communicated to the shareholders through:

  • the annual report which is distributed to all shareholders registered to receive copies;

  • through the release of information to the market via the ASX

  • the annual general meeting and other meetings so called to obtain approval for Board action as appropriate;

  • an up to date website: www.promedicus.com.au;

The company is adopting procedures to ensure that any material given to a particular group is available to all interested parties via the company website. This includes any material presented at the Annual General Meeting.

A representative of the external auditors Ernst & Young will continue to attend the Annual General Meeting.

Risk Management Policies

The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board.

The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to participate in this process; as such the Board has not established separate committees for areas such as risk management, environmental issues, occupational health and safety or treasury.

The Company is committed to the identification; monitoring and management of risks associated with its business activities and has included in its management and reporting systems a number of risk management controls, such as:

  • Annual budgeting and monthly reporting systems for all operations which enable the monitoring of progress against performance targets and to evaluate trends

  • Guidelines and limits on capital expenditure and purchasing authority matrix

  • Executive approvals for staffing requirements

  • Detailed monthly management reports including cash flow reports, and to identify any foreign currency risks associated with contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies

In accordance with ASX Principle 7, the Board has received from the Management an assurance that internal risk management and internal control systems are effective. The Board has also received a declaration from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act founded on the sound system of risk management an internal compliance and control which is operating effectively in respect to financial reporting risks.

The Company up until late in the financial period was not exposed to any interest rate or significant currency sensitive loans or debts. Given the increase in overseas operations there is now an increased currency risk as a consequence of contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies. This change in risk profile has been noted by the board and action is being taken to manage this risk. The Board oversees appropriate backup procedures for important company data. Detailed annual review of insurance policies in force to ensure cover is at appropriate levels to safeguard key executives, Company assets and operations. The Board regularly considers succession planning to ensure staff of appropriate skill and experience are available to the Company.
