Dear Shareholders,
The 2014 financial year was a landmark year for Pro Medicus. We saw our first revenue from two major contracts in the US, with vRad, a nationwide tele-radiology/remote reading group, and with VISN23, a mid-west based healthcare network run by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. We also won our biggest contract ever, which will see us provide Visage 7 to one of the largest health networks in the US. These contracts represent significant progress in the strategy we adopted following our acquisition of Visage Imaging in 2009. That strategy is transforming the company. Traditionally, Pro Medicus’ primary focus was as a provider of RIS (Practice Management) and related products to a largely Australian customer base. Now, with our Visage 7 suite of products, we are well on the way to becoming a major provider of best in class 2D and 3D PACS and advanced visualisation products to a global market.
We were pleased to report a net profit after tax of $1.51 million from our continuing operations in 2014. This was a welcome improvement on the previous year, when we reported a loss of $3.48 million which included an after tax impairment expense of $3.22 million relating to the write-off of capitalised development costs. The 2013 financial year also included a contribution of $8.608 million from “discontinued operations”, namely the Amira software platform business, which we sold in July 2012. Our revenue rose to $14.27 million in 2014, an increase of 28 percent, with much of the growth coming from our North American business. We also saw a stronger performance in Australia, reversing a trend of recent years. The contract with vRad is our 2nd contract under an operational, or fee for use, model. The operational fee structure provides us with an ongoing revenue stream over the life of a contract, reflecting transaction numbers, with minimum volumes

guaranteed. The contract with VISN23 is a more traditional capital contract where the client pays license fees upfront and then ongoing support and maintenance over the contract period. Our new contract with the large US health system is also structured on an operational model. The six year contract has a total minimum value of $20 million – the biggest contract in the history of Pro Medicus. We expect to start generating revenue from the contract in the first half of the 2015 financial year as we begin implementing Visage 7 across the client’s network.
It is expected to take 12 to 14 months to fully roll out the technology across the organisation because of the large number of facilities it operates and their geographical distribution. This means revenue will build up progressively over that period as the technology goes live at more of the client’s sites.
The major contracts we have won in the US have significantly increased our visibility in that market. They also validate our technology in three important segments of the radiology market – Rays and vRad in the tele-radiology market, VISN23 in a government-run network and the latest contract in the large Enterprise Hospital space.
During the year we expanded our team in North America to cater for the new contracts and position ourselves to address the many opportunities we see in that market. Demand is being driven by the explosion in the size of the images generated by the latest radiology equipment with Visage 7 uniquely well suited to handling these huge data sets. At the same time, there is a paradigm shift in the way customers are purchasing this technology, moving away from a monolithic, single vendor solution to a best in breed or “Deconstructed PACS” model. This has resulted in a growing pipeline of North American opportunities that the company is actively pursuing.
==> picture [200 x 121] intentionally omitted <==
In Australia, revenue growth was supported by sales of Visage RIS (previously called Coral), the new RIS platform we released last year. Over the next 12 months we plan to move the clients who have our traditional RIS/practice management product onto Visage RIS. We believe this will create opportunities for further takeup of Visage PACS in the Australian market as clients learn about the compelling benefits of the integrated product.
Pro Medicus continued to generate positive cash flow from operations in 2014, and finished the year with cash in hand of $15.26 million. This was down from $18.02 million a year earlier, primarily due to the payment of dividends and further investments in products and staff, but is still high relative to historical levels. The company remains debt free and we believe we have sufficient reserves to internally fund the organic growth of the business.
Accordingly, your board was pleased to declare dividends of 2.0 cents per share, fully franked, for the year. We believe our strong balance sheet positions us well to maintain our dividend policy as well as grow the business in the years ahead. Finally we would like to thank our fellow directors and the capable and hard-working teams at Pro Medicus and Visage Imaging, all of whom have made valued contributions to our progress in 2014 positioning us strongly for our future strategic journey.
Yours faithfully

PRO MEDICUS IS A LEADING PROVIDER OF RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEMS (RIS) AND PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. THE ACQUISITION OF VISAGE IMAGING IN 2009 TRANSFORMED THE COMPANY, BRINGING TO OUR PRODUCT OFFERING BEST-IN-CLASS 2D AND 3D DIGITAL RADIOLOGY (PACS) AND ADVANCED VISUALISATION CLINICAL CAPABILITIES.
BUSINESS BACKGROUND
==> picture [203 x 252] intentionally omitted <==
Pro Medicus is a leading provider of Radiology Information system (RIS) / Practice Management software, e-health and 2D/3D PACS digital imaging products and services to the healthcare industry. Traditionally, we specialised in practice management software, e-health and digital imaging integration products. The acquisition of Visage Imaging in 2009 transformed the Company, bringing to our product offering best-in-class 2D and 3D digital radiology (PACS) and advanced visualisation clinical capabilities in the form of the Visage 7 suite of products. Pro Medicus also provides a comprehensive range of services centred around these products, including training and installation, hardware configuration and ongoing technical and end user support.
REVENUE STREAMS IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2014 WERE GENERATED BY THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES:
RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEMS (RIS)/PRACTICE MANAGEMENT
THE VISAGE 7
ENTERPRISE VIEWER
The Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer combines 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 radiologists to read any type of examination from a 2D chest x-ray to a complicated 3D cardiac study all within the one viewer. The enterprise viewer can be interfaced with a broad range of third-party image archiving products. These include other third-party PACS systems on which Visage technology can be overlaid, as well as the growing industry trend for vendor neutral archives (VNA). Traditionally revenue for this product has been generated from the sale of licences and ongoing support, however we are seeing the increased adoption of a pay per use fee model which is helping to build growing annuity revenue streams for the Company in both the US and Australia.
Pro Medicus offers software
applications and services designed to aid the management of medical practices. The software includes medical accounting, clinical reporting, appointments/scheduling and marketing/management information modules and can be integrated with third-party applications. The recently developed Visage RIS provides enterprise level scalability coupled with powerful search capability and configurable business specific workflow and rules to meet customers needs. Services include implementation, hardware sourcing and configuration, staff and management training and ongoing technical and end user support.
E-HEALTH
The Company’s 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 the doctor’s computer. These reports are then electronically incorporated into the patients’ medical records, doing away with the need for double handling or manual filing. Over 26,000 Australian doctors are registered users of promedicus.net.
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 3D PACS. The Company is now selling this solution in North America, Australia, 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.
INTEGRATION PRODUCTS
Pro Medicus provides a range of highly modular integration products which provide a seamless interface between the Visage RIS and third-party systems including PACS/digital imaging products. Revenue is generated from the sale of software licenses for the integration modules, implementation services and ongoing support.

REVIEW 2013 - 2014
NORTH AMERICA
The Group employs 11 people in North America to fulfill the sales, marketing and professional services roles. Revenue from North America increased by 85.1% compared to the previous year. This was largely attributable to new sales and an increase in transaction based revenue from sales of Visage technology as more contracts come on stream.
EUROPE
The Group has 32 employees in its Berlin office who undertake R&D for the Visage Imaging products, including the Visage 7 product line, as well as sales, marketing and service/support functions for the Group’s European operations. Revenue from our European operations was in line with the previous year, increasing by 0.1%.
AUSTRALIA
The Group employs 26 people in Australia who undertake R&D for its Visage RIS and promedicus.net products, as well as sales and service/ support functions. The Group’s Australian revenue was 12.2% above last year’s as a result of new sales of both the Visage PACS and Visage RIS products with many sales being for the combined product offering. A growing percentage of these sales are based on the company’s transaction revenue model. Promedicus.net, the company’s e-health offering, continued to hold its strong market position despite increasing competition.

INTO THE FUTURE
The Board and Management believe the Company is well positioned for growth after making encouraging strategic progress in the 2014 financial year, particularly in the North American market. With three major contracts in North America, two of which are transaction-based, we now have a substantial, guaranteed base level of contracted revenue over the next five years as well as potential upside as contracted transaction numbers grow and new contracts are won.
Industry recognition of the Company in North America has increased significantly with the recent winning of major contracts, and the pipeline of sales opportunities that the company is actively pursuing has grown accordingly.
In addition, we believe the continued roll-out of the new Visage RIS technology platform in Australia will help us consolidate our position as the premium provider of RIS systems in this market and open further opportunities for growth as clients come to understand the benefits of the integrated Visage RIS-PACS package.
KEY FACTORS PREDICTED TO DRIVE GROWTH INCLUDE:
Expanded geographical footprint
Industry Trends
The Company believes the North American market has reached a tipping point as a result of two significant industry trends that combined, will continue to drive demand for Visage 7 products.
The Company is looking to further build on its presence in North America as well as consolidate its position in Australia. In North America, our strategy of developing direct sales has been highly successful with an increasing percentage of the Company’s revenue coming from this region, a trend we believe will continue given the major contracts won in the past two years.
The first is the explosion in the size of the image files generated by modern radiology equipment. With developments in imaging technology such as positron emission tomography (PET) and high density 640 slice computed tomography (CT) it is not uncommon for a single examination image file to be in the order of 1.5 to 2 Gigabytes or larger in size. The recent introduction of Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), a new form of 3D breast imaging, has added to the data explosion problem producing image files as large as 4 to 6 Gigabytes per examination. Traditional PACS/Digital Imaging technology requires these files to be transferred across the network to the radiologist desktop in order to be visualised. This has created significant network bottlenecks which has limited the widespread adoption and use of these new imaging technologies. Visage 7, with its unique server side thin-client streaming technology, enables the radiologist or referring clinician to instantly visualise even the largest examinations without having to move the images to their desktop thereby overcoming the bandwidth/ network bottleneck issue.
Fully integrated product offering
Our recently released Visage RIS technology platform integrates fully with our leading edge Visage 7.0 product suite, thereby creating the first fourth-generation, end-to-end single-vendor ‘thin client’ PACS/RIS solution in the market. In Australia, most of our sales to new clients have been for the integrated product suite, providing early confirmation of our multi-product strategy. As our existing Australian RIS clients transition to Visage RIS, we believe there is potential for further take-up of the integrated product suite.
Multiple licencing models
Over the last two years, the Company has seen a significant increase in the pay per use licensing model in both Australia and North America. We believe this will continue to gain momentum as more clients opt for this model. This has the potential to build significant annuity revenue streams to supplement the upfront, capital licence fees that we have traditionally received.
The second trend has been a large paradigm shift in the way customers are purchasing PACS/Digital Imaging technology, moving away from a monolithic, single vendor solution to a best in breed or “Deconstructed PACS” approach whereby multiple components from different vendors are integrated into a single solution. Unlike systems from traditional PACS vendors, Visage 7, with its highly modular and scalable design is ideally suited to this new paradigm resulting in a growing pipeline of opportunities that the company is actively pursuing.
Highly Differentiated Technology
The Company will maintain its significant ongoing investment in R&D for its flagship Visage 7 suite of products which we believe will continue to differentiate our offerings in the 2D/3D PACS advanced visualisation space. The new Visage RIS platform is the culmination of many years of intense R&D effort and positions Pro Medicus at the forefront of RIS and practice management technology. It is differentiated by its scalability, powerful search capability and ability to allow clients to configure their own business-specific workflow and rules to meet their needs.

Surplus funds which are held in several currencies are invested by the Group in a cash management account and terms deposits to maximise the interest return.
Performance Indicators
Management and the Board monitor overall performance, from the strategic plan through to the performance of the Group against operating plans and financial budgets.
The Board, together with management, have identified key performance indicators (KPIs) that are used to monitor performance. Key management monitor these KPIs on a regular basis and Directors receive appropriately structured board reports for review prior to each monthly Board meeting allowing them to actively monitor the Group’s performance.
Dynamics of the Business
Australia
The Group employs 26 people in Australia who undertake research and development of Pro Medicus products (RIS) as well as sales and service/support functions.
The Group’s Australian revenue was 12.2% above last year’ as a result of new sales of both the Visage PACS and Visage RIS products with many sales being for the combined product offering. A growing percentage of these sales are being based on the company’s transaction revenue model.
Promedicus.net, the company’s e–health offering, continued to hold its strong market position despite increasing competition.
North America
The Group employs 11 people in North America to fulfil the sales marketing and professional services roles. Revenue from North America increased by 85.1% compared to the previous year. This was largely attributable to new sales and an increase in transaction based revenue from sales of Visage technology as more contracts came on stream.
Europe
The Group employs 32 employees in its Berlin office who undertake research and development of Visage Imaging products worldwide as well as sales, marketing and service/ support functions for the Group’s European operations. Revenue from our European operations was in line with the previous year increasing by 0.14%.
Financials
Reported profit after tax for the period was $1.51m a decrease of $3.62m (70.6%) from the previous year.
Full year revenue of the Group from continuing operations, increased from $11.37m to $14.45m, an increase of 27.1%.
The result from the underlying operations for the year was a profit of $1.58m compared to an underlying loss of $0.65m from the previous year. The underlying profit is made up of reported profit after–tax of $1.51m and adding back the after–tax net currency loss of $0.07m.
Last year’s underlying loss was made up of reported profit after–tax of $5.13m, less the after–tax profit of $8.61m from the sale of the Amira business and after–tax net currency gain of $0.39m, and adding back the after–tax impairment expense of $3.22m.
The key driver of the underlying profit increase was the significant improvement in the performance of the North American operations supplemented by the increase in Australian sales.
Investments for Future Performance
The Company will continue to direct resources into the development of new products and is committed to the continued development of Visage RIS, its new RIS technology platform as well as the ongoing development of the Visage Imaging PACS product.
It is anticipated that this strategy of ongoing development will continue to position Pro Medicus as a market leader and enable the Group to further leverage its expanded product portfolio and geographical spread.
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 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 $4.23m, with receipts from customers totalling $13.50m compared with payments of $8.56m to suppliers and employees. During the year the Company paid out a total of $2.01m in dividends, the net result being total cash assets of $15.26m; a decrease of 15.3% from last year.
18
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.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE
A Final Dividend of 1.0 cents per share has been declared post 1 July. Please refer Note 10.
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 not established separate committees for areas such as risk management, environmental issues, occupational health and safety or treasury.
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:
-
Board approval of strategic plans, which encompass the Company’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholder needs and manage business risk;
-
Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs;
-
Overseeing of appropriate backup procedures for important company data; and
-
Routine review by key executives of its established Quality Assurance program and corrective action recommendations stemming from it.
Corporate Governance
In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the directors of Pro Medicus Limited support and have adhered to the principles of good corporate governance. Please refer to the separate “Corporate Governance” section for more details of specific policies.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Shareholders’ equity decreased by 1.2% from $20.96m to $20.71m. This movement was largely the result of profit during the year, offset by dividends paid out during the year.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
The Directors anticipate that the 2015 financial year will see more opportunity crystallise for the company due to improved prospects in North America and the continued commercialisation and roll out of Visage RIS, the company’s new technology RIS platform.
Key components that are likely to affect the performance of the company are:
-
Increased revenue being generated from recently won transaction based contracts which are scheduled to come on stream in the first half of the 2015 financial year.
-
Strong interest in the Visage suite of products in the North American market has resulted in a number of sales opportunities that the Company is actively pursuing.
-
The ability of the expanded Visage product set to address key market segments such as large Health Systems and Hospitals in addition to the private radiology and teleradiology markets.
-
The continued adoption of advanced visualisation and 3–D capability throughout the radiology profession.
-
Improved sales prospects for Visage RIS, the company’s New Technology RIS platform as the rollout of this new platform continues.
As a result, it is anticipated that the 2015 financial year will show a continuing improvement in operational results, however this is dependent upon many market factors over which the Directors have limited or no control.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE
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 and nomination issues are handled at the full Board level. Due to the small number of Directors no Committee has been established for this purpose.
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. 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 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.
Remuneration philosophy
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.
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.
20
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 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 they sit. 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 ended 30 June 2014 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.
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.
The Board has not used any external consultants to undertake a review of the remuneration of Executives.
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 consists 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 2011–12 under the Employee Share Option Scheme with a 5 year vesting period.
A long term incentive plan was established during 2011–12 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 over 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 profitability (EBIT – 75%) which is set on an annualised basis by the Board and individual performance (25%). These measures have been selected and set to align to Company performance and to reflect individual contribution to the Company.
Structure
Employment Contracts have been entered into with all Executives of the Group. Details of these contracts are provided on page 22.

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 2014
For the 2014 financial year, the total amount of STI cash bonus either paid or accrued at year end was $276,225. The maximum amount payable under STI was $276,225.
Key Performance Indicators
Actual STI payments granted to key staff 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.
Shareholder Returns
The Directors are confident that the holdings of reserve cash is sufficient to underpin the development and expansion needs of the Company as the business looks to increase its penetration of existing markets.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The financial report of Pro Medicus Limited (the Company) for the year ended 30 June 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 22 August 2014.
Pro Medicus Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. SUMMARY OF 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.
(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
The accounting policies 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 2013. Adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group. The necessary disclosures have been updated to reflect amended accounting standards.
AASB 10 — Consolidated Financial
Statements — This standard establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control.
AASB 12 — Disclosure of Interests
in Other Entities — AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgments made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and subsidiaries with non–controlling interests.
AASB 13 — Fair Value Measurement
— AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity 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 definition 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.
AASB 119 — Employee Benefits —
The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognized in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognized in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short–term employee benefits. The distinction between short–term and other long– term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date.
AASB 2011–4 — Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (AASB 124) — This amendment deletes from AASB 124 individual key management personnel disclosure requirements for disclosing entities that are not companies. It also removes the individual KMP disclosure requirements for all disclosing entities in relation to equity holdings, loans and other related party transactions.
(ii) Accounting Standards and Interpretation issued but not yet effective
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014. These are outlined in the table overleaf.

being the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefts of an asset. The IASB has clarifed that the use of revenue– |
|||
| based methods to calculate the depreciation | |||||
| of an asset is not appropriate because revenue | |||||
| generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally refects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefts |
|||||
| embodied in the asset. | |||||
| The IASB also clarifed that revenue is generally | |||||

| Advertising Services). | |||||
| The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity | |||||
| recognises revenue to depict the transfer of | |||||
| promised goods or services to customers in an amount that refects the consideration to which |
|||||
| the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for | |||||
| those goods or services. An entity recognises | |||||

| AASB 9/IFRS 9 | Financial Instruments | On 24 July 2014 The IASB issued the fnal | 1 January 2018 | No impact | 1 July 2018 |
| version of IFRS 9 which replaces IAS 39 and includes a logical model for classifcation |
|||||
| and measurement, a single, forward–looking | |||||
| ‘expected loss’ impairment model and | |||||
| a substantially–reformed approach to | |||||
| hedge accounting. | |||||
| IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on | |||||
| or after 1 January 2018. However, the Standard | |||||
| is available for early application. The own credit | |||||
| changes can be early applied in isolation without otherwise changing the accounting for fnancial |
|||||
| instruments. | |||||
| The fnal version of IFRS 9 introduces a new | |||||
| expected–loss impairment model that will | |||||
| require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. Specifcally, the new Standard |
|||||
| requires entities to account for expected credit losses from when fnancial instruments are frst recognised and to recognise full lifetime |
|||||
| expected losses on a more timely basis. | |||||
| The AASB is yet to issue the fnal version of | |||||
| AASB 9. A revised version of AASB 9 (AASB | |||||
| 2013–9) was issued in December 2013 | |||||
| which included the new hedge accounting | |||||
| requirements, including changes to hedge | |||||
| effectiveness testing, treatment of hedging | |||||
| costs, risk components that can be hedged and | |||||
| disclosures. | |||||
| AASB 9 includes requirements for a simplifed 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 | |||||

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 cont.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)
(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). Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
-
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
-
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
-
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
-
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The Group re–assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains a control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non–controlling interests, even if this results in the non–controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra–group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. 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 OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
(e) Business combinations
Business combinations are
accounted for using the acquisition method. 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. 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 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement 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
PROMEDICUS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
37
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 Statement of Cash Flows, 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.
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
38
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 cont.
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 profit or loss.
(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.
PROMEDICUS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
39
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 Statement of Cash Flows 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) Non–current assets held for sale and discontinued operations The Group classifies non–current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non–current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and
fair value less costs to sell. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the income statement.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale.
(r) 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:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Property | 2 to 7 | 2 to 7 |
| Improvements | years | years |
| Motor Vehicles | 4 to 5 | 4 to 5 |
| years | years | |
| Offce Equipment | 2 to 7 | 2 to 7 |
| years | years | |
| Furniture and Fittings | 5years | 5years |
| Research and | 3 to 4 | 3 to 4 |
| Development | years | years |
| Equipment |
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.
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.
(s) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately 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,
40
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 cont.
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.
(t) 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.
(u) 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.
(v) Employee leave benefits
Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date.
(i) Annual leave and sick leave
The liability for annual 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.
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.
(w) 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 are currently two plans in place to provide these benefits:
-
The Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP), which provides benefits to directors and senior executives.
-
The Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), 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 using a Black Scholes model, further details of which are given in note 19.
PROMEDICUS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
41
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).
(x) 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.
(y) 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.
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.
(z) Comparatives
Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.
(aa) 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 recognised for the period to 30 June 2014 is $642,403 (2013:$654,439).
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.
42
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 cont.
(i) Significant accounting judgements
Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for un–recouped tax losses and 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.
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. 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 financial 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.
Net investment in Foreign Operations
The Group maintains inter–company loans it assesses to represent a part of its net investment in its foreign operations. The judgements made in assessing these loans to represent net investments are on the basis the loans are neither planned nor likely to be settled within the foreseeable future, the loans do not include trade receivables or trade payable and the loans represent a return of funds from their investment in the respective subsidiaries.
(ii) Significant 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.
Share–based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity–settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share–based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option/ performance rights, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value of share–based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 19.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash and short–term deposits.
The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest risk and credit risk. The Board manages each of these risks as detailed below.
Foreign currency risk
The Group has transactional currency exposure, which arise from sales made in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency.
Approximately 57% (2013: 51%) of the Group’s sales are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, and these sales would be predominately offset by currency exposure on costs. Foreign bank accounts have also been established, to create a natural hedge and reduce the need for regular transfers from the functional currency (AUD) cash holdings.

Management believe the reporting date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in the financial instruments.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial instruments of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential defaults of the counter–party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets.
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.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
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.
Cash and cash equivalents are held with several financial institutions, with the majority held with the Westpac Banking Corporation, a AA rated bank.
Interest risk
The Group exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the company’s cash and cash equivalents.
At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to Australian Variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges:
Cash and Cash equivalents in the Group ($’000’s) $15,259 (2013: $18,023).
The Group’s policy is to place cash balances in either 30 day term deposits or commercial bills that earn higher interest rates.

|
| +1%(100 basispoints) | 153 180 – – |
| -0.5% (50 basis points) | (76) (90) – – |
Liquidity risk
The Group has minimal liquidity risk as it has cash reserves of $15.3m, with no borrowings.
These cash reserves are deemed to be adequate and the Board believes they will underpin the ongoing growth of the business.
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 2014
5. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The operating segments are identified by management based on country of origin. Discrete financial information is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis.
Impairment is not monitored at segment level.

i) Intellectual Property was acquired in 2009 through the Visage Imaging business combination and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Three separately identifiable intangible assets, in the form of software intellectual property, have been identified in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging; Visage CS, Visage PACS and Amira. These intangible assets have been assessed as having a finite life and have been fully amortised using the straight line method over a period of 5 years, commencing February 2009. Amira was sold in July 2012 (refer Note 8)
ii) A Customer List was acquired in 2009 through the Visage Imaging business combination and has since been sold with the Amira sale (refer Note 8).
iii) Development costs have been capitalised at cost. This intangible asset has been assessed as having a finite life and is amortised using the straight line method over a period of 5 years. As at 30 June 2014 the carrying values of capitalised development costs are Visage CS ($5,311,388) RIS ($3,249,097) and Visage PACS ($578,352), all sits within the Australian operating segment.
The Group undertook an impairment assessment of the capitalised development costs as at 30 June 2014. The recoverable amount of development costs have been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by the Board of Directors covering a five– year period. The projected cash flows were updated to reflect the change in forecast revenues and a post– tax discount rate of 18% (30 June
2013:20%) was applied. Cash flows beyond a 5 year period have been extrapolated using a 2.5% growth rate (30 June 2013:2.5%). All other assumptions remained consistent with those disclosed in Note 2(s). The Groups recoverable value was in excess of the carrying value using the value in use calculation and as such no impairment charges were recorded at 30 June 2014.
Key assumptions used in value in use calculations
The calculation of value in use for development costs is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
-
Revenue forecasts
-
Discount rates
-
Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period
PROMEDICUS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
55
Revenue forecasts – Revenue forecasts are based on current year consolidated budgets for each geographical segment. Estimated growth rates are then used to forecast the following four years revenue for each product used in each geographical segment. Total forecast segment growth rates range from (15%) to 25% across the 4 year period.
Discount rates – Discount rates represent the current market assessment of risks specific to each cash generating unit (CGU), taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is derived from its weighted average return on assets (WARA). The WARA takes into account the cost of equity from expected return on investments by the Groups investors, whilst there is no debt for the group to take into account. Specific risk is associated with the intangible asset nature and is incorporated by applying individual beta factors, which are evaluated annually.
Growth rate estimates – rates are based on industry based customer price index (CPI) forecasts. The long term rate of 2.5% was used in the current assessment.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
With regard to the assessment of value in use of development costs, the estimated recoverable amount is in excess of its carrying value for each product, however adverse changes in assumptions could result in an impairment loss. Management has considered the possible change in each of the key assumptions applied to the respective capitalised development costs recoverable amount assessments. A reasonably possible adverse change in the revenue forecasts for the RIS product could have the potential to give rise to circumstance where the recoverable amount may be lower than the carrying amount. To illustrate the sensitivity of this assumption, if forecast cash flows were to decrease materially, that is in the range of 5–10%, across the five year forecast period without the implementation of mitigation plans, cost reductions or restructure which management would look to do if such decreases were to arise, this could lead to a future impairment write–down of approximately $0.5–$2.2 million.
iv) Software Licences have been assessed as having a finite life and are amortised using the straight line method over a period of 4 years.

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. Nevertheless, 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.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Pro Medicus Limited
Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Pro Medicus Limited which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors' responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which follows in the directors’ report.

PROMEDICUS ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Pro Medicus Limited’s corporate governance practices were in place throughout the year ended 30 June 2014.
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 P T Kempen R Lyle |
Position Chairman, Non–Executive Director, Chairman Audit Committee 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.
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 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JULY 2014
Code of Conduct
The board has developed a “Code of Conduct”” consistent with the recommendations and details are disclosed on the company website.
Diversity
The Group recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. Pro Medicus believes its diverse workforce is the key to its continued growth, improved productivity and performance.
We actively value and embrace the diversity of our employees and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequity are not tolerated. While Pro Medicus is committed to fostering diversity at all levels, gender diversity has been and continues to be a priority for the Group.
To this end, the Group supports and complies with the recommendations contained in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The Group has established a diversity policy outlining the board’s measureable objectives for achieving diversity. This is assessed annually to measure the progress towards achieving those objectives.
The table below outlines the diversity objectives established by the board, the steps taken during the year to achieve these objectives and the outcomes.
| OBJECTIVES | STEPS TAKEN/OUTCOME | |
|---|---|---|
| Increase the | ▶There were no key senior female appointments | |
| number of women | made during the year as there were no key senior | |
| in the workforce, including senior management positions and at board level. |
appointments made during the year. ▶Pro Medicus appointed 2 females in managerial roles ▶As at 30 June 2014, women represented 19% in the Group’s workforce (2013:20%), 20% in key executive positions (2013:20%) and 0% at board level (2013:0%) |
|
| ▶Women represented 67% of new hires during the year | ||
| (2013:20%) | ||
| For the upcoming fnancial year, the Group targets to increase female representation in the Group’s |
||
| Promote an inclusive culture that treats the workforce with fairness and respect. Provide career development opportunities for |
workforce to 25–30% ▶Pro Medicus has set a zero tolerance policy against discrimination of employees at all levels. The company also provides avenues for employees to voice their concerns or report any discrimination. ▶No cases of discrimination were reported during the year (2013: nil). ▶Whilst Pro Medicus place focus on gender diversity, career development opportunities are equal for all employees. |
|
| every employee, irrespective of any cultural, gender or other differences. |
▶During the year, representation at training and development programs was based on performance of the employees. |
The achievement of the measurable objectives in the current financial year was taken into consideration in assessing bonuses for employees. The Group will continue to review and update the measureable objectives to promote diversity for the upcoming year.
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.
PROMEDICUS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
69
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.
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;
-
Email contact with registered users; and
-
Special written communications to shareholders distributed with the dividend notifications.
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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JULY 2014
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.

Don’t miss out on your dividends
Dividend cheques that are not banked are required to be handed over to the State Trustee under the Unclaimed Monies Act. You are reminded to bank cheques immediately.
Better still, why not have us do your banking for you.
Wouldn’t you prefer to have immediate access to your dividend payment? Your dividend payments can be credited directly into any nominated bank, building society or credit union account in Australia as cleared funds on dividend payment date – and we will still mail [(or email if you prefer)] you a dividend advice confirming your payment details.
Not only can we do your banking for you, but payment by direct credit eliminates the risk of cheque fraud.
