LETTER FROM NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Dear Investor,
On behalf of the Board of Singular Health Group Limited ( Singular Health ), it is my pleasure to present this Prospectus and invite you to become a Shareholder in Singular Health.
Singular Health is a medical technology company focused on the development of medical software for the visualisation, manipulation and transfer of medical imaging data in 3D and virtual reality.
Medical volume rendering is a process that allows for the visualisation of the surface elements, internal geometry, and components of a 3D structure typically acquired in 2D using CT & MRI scanning machines. Singular Health has acquired and developed the proprietary and patented Volumetric Rendering Platform which aids medical practitioners, patients, educators and students to view complex 2D medical images in 3D and virtual reality.
Singular Health’s Volumetric Rendering Platform has several distinct advantages to drive adoption in the areas of surgical planning, medical education and patient education, including:
-
in-situ volume rendering with retail grade hardware, providing a fast, secure and fully onsite service without transmitting confidential patient data to third-party cloud-based servers for the MedVR surgical planning product;
-
optimised 3D conversion & device agnostic software for medical and patient education products which reduces the requirement for capital expenditure for Virtual Anatomy and 3DicomViewer products; and
-
Singular Health’s software is delivered through a SaaS model with a scalable online knowledge base.
Singular Health has already established a strategy for the vertical integration of the Company’s capabilities, in collaboration with key opinion leaders and joint ventures with established businesses, to develop an end-to-end solution for the visualisation, analysis and segmentation via artificial intelligence and production of bespoke solutions through additive manufacturing.
Under the Public Offer, Singular Health is seeking to raise a minimum of $5 million and maximum of $6 million in gross proceeds.
The proceeds of the Public Offer will be applied to assist Singular Health to execute its growth strategy, focusing on increasing sales and marketing support for Singular Health’s partner network, research and development, working capital, the purchase of a titanium 3D printer and the costs of the Public Offer.
On Completion of the Public Offer, new Shareholders will own (on an undiluted basis) 25.78% of the Company (assuming Minimum Subscription) or 29.35% of the Company (assuming Maximum Subscription).
This Prospectus contains important information in relation to the Offers, including Singular Health’s historical financial results, operations, management team and the future growth plans. The key risks associated with an investment in Singular Health are outlined in section 7 of this Prospectus and should be considered in detail. The potential risks relate to sufficiency of funding, future profitability, intellectual property and other business specific and general investment risks.
I encourage you to read the Prospectus carefully before making any investment decision and to consult with your independent professional advisers in connection with the Public Offer. The Board and Management of Singular Health are extremely excited about the prospect of improving the way in which medical imagery is viewed, communicated, and used to deliver better, personalised patient outcomes.
I look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder.
Yours sincerely

||
| There are a number of potential risks associated with the Company that impact the Company’s assets and liabilities, financing position and performance, profits and losses, prospects and the value of the Shares. Set out below are specific key risks to which the Company is exposed. This is not an exhaustive list. Please see section 7 for further specific details of these risks along with general risks associated with an investment in the Company. |

| Topic | More | |

| Summary | ||
| Information | ||
| Protection and ownership of intellectual property rights |
Singular Health relies on laws relating to patents, trade marks, trade secrets and copyright to assist to protect its proprietary rights. However, there is a risk that unauthorised use or copying of Singular Health’s software, data, specialised technology or platforms will occur. If Singular Health fails to protect its intellectual property secrets, competitors may gain access to its proprietary information which could harm Singular Health’s business. There is a risk that Singular Health will be unable to register or otherwise protect new intellectual property it develops in the future. Competitors may be able to work around any of the applications or other intellectual property rights used by Singular Health, or independently develop technologies or competing products that are not covered by Singular Health’s intellectual property rights. |
Section 7.2(a) |
| Reliance on senior personnel |
Singular Health’s operational success will depend substantially on the continuing efforts of its key management personnel and on its ability to attract and retain key quality staff and consultants. The Company relies on experienced managerial and highly qualified technical staff (including its Chief Technology Officer, Mr Thomas Morrell) to develop and operate its technology and to direct staff to manage the operational, sales, compliance and other functions of its business. The departure of any of these individuals may have an adverse effect on Singular Health’s business. |
Section 7.2(b) |
| Additional requirements for capital |
As Singular Health’s current business grows and new lines of business are developed, Singular Health will require additional funding to support the ongoing development and commercialisation of its technology and to provide working capital. There can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without further financing or, if further financing is necessary, that financing can be obtained on favourable terms, or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing Shares, this may result in dilution for some or all of the Shareholders. Any inability to obtain financing (if required) would have a material adverse effect on Singular Health’s business, financing condition and results of operations. |
Section 7.2(c) |
| Loss of key contracts and arrangements |
Singular Health has entered into a number of key contracts and arrangements which are important to the success of its business. There are a number of risks associated with these contracts, including the risk that the contracts may contain unfavourable provisions, or be terminated, lost or impaired, or renewed on less favourable terms. There is a risk that the business could be disrupted in situations where disagreement or dispute occurs in relation to the terms of a contract. Should such a disagreement or dispute occur, this may have an adverse impact of Singular Health’s operations and performance generally. |
Section 7.2(d) |

| Topic | More | |
|---|---|---|
| Summary | ||
| Information | ||
| Limited trading history and no profit to date |
Singular Health has a limited operating history on which to evaluate its business and prospects and is currently loss making (meaning it is reliant on raising funds from investors to continue to fund its operations and product development). Singular Health’s operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in a recently formed business enterprise. There can be no assurance that Singular Health will be able to generate or increase revenues from its existing and proposed products or avoid losses in any future period. |
Section 7.2(e) |
| Certification of new applications / products and clinical trials |
Singular Health has identified a number of new applications that are complementary to its existing products. These new products, as well as any future iterations of Singular Health’s existing products, may require continual clearances from new diagnostic and/or surgical planning tools. Any new features may be required to undergo clinical studies and those studies may show that the new products or the new features (as the case may be) do not work in a safe and effective manner or that they do not meet the standards required for commercial release. Singular Health intends to conduct clinical studies of new software it develops in the future, but there can be no guarantee that relevant regulatory agencies will allow Singular Health to undertake such trials and/or the development and approval process for any new products or applications of existing products may take longer, cost more than expected and may result in the new software not producing a viable device. |
Section 7.2(f) |
| Foreign exchange risk |
Singular Health operates internationally and therefore fluctuations in prevailing exchange rates may negatively affect Singular Health’s profitability and financial position. Unhedged and unfavourable movements in foreign exchange rates may have an adverse effect on Singular Health’s revenue and/or cost of operating and therefore affect the market price of Shares. The most common foreign currency to be used is Singaporean dollars. |
Section 7.2(g) |
| Exposure to foreign jurisdictions and legislation |
Singular Health operates in multiple foreign jurisdictions. There are numerous risk factors associated with operating in foreign jurisdictions, including economic, social or political instability or change, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, licensing, repatriation of income or return of capital, consumer health and industrial relations laws. |

| Summary | ||
| Information | ||
| Competition | The industry in which Singular Health is involved is subject to increasing global competition which is fast-paced and fast- changing. Singular Health will have no influence or control over the activities of its competitors, whose activities or actions may negatively affect the operating and financial performance of Singular Health’s business. For instance, competing companies may develop technology that supersedes Singular Health’s technology. The size and financial strength of some of Singular Health’s competitors may make it difficult for Singular Health to maintain a competitive position in the medical technology market. A number of third-party competitors are offering products and services similar to Singular Health’s products. Existing competitors and new competitors entering into the industry may develop superior technology offerings or have enhanced scale benefits, which may have a material adverse effect on Singular Health’s revenue and financial performance. |
Section 7.2(i) |
| Supply chain risks | Virtual reality simulation requires two main components, specifically, a source of content and a user device. Singular Health’s virtual reality products currently support the use of “Oculus Rift S” and “Oculus Quest 2” virtual reality headsets. If Oculus were to suspend, alter or terminate the manufacture of either of these virtual reality headsets (noting it has indicated an intention to terminate manufacture of the Oculus Rift S in April 2021), this may impact Singular Health’s ability to provide its products and services to clients, which in turn would have a detrimental effect on Singular Health’s financial performance. There are other providers of virtual reality hardware, and Singular Health is in the process of testing the compatibility of other hardware devices with its technology. Inability to access appropriate hardware in a timely fashion and on commercial terms may have an adverse effect on Singular Health’s business and financial position. |
Section 7.2(j) |
| Commercialisation, market and scalability risks |
There is no guarantee that Singular Health will be able to commercialise its various software products or fulfil distribution targets. In order to successfully commercialise and scale the distribution of its products, Singular Health’s technology (including the products and services based on that technology) require adoption of usage by individuals and institutions in a competitive sector. Scalable revenue growth from subscriptions to the various software products depends on numerous factors, including convincing potential consumers and partners of the benefits of Singular Health’s technology and the ability to provide services and products of sufficient quality in a timely manner with adequate post-sale technical and administrative support to ensure recurring usage. |

| Medical or product liability risks |
Generally, medical technology companies may be subject to claims alleging negligence, product liability or breach of warranty that may involve large claims and significant defence costs (whether or not such liability is imposed). These claims may be brought by individuals seeking relief for themselves, or increasingly, by groups seeking to represent a class. Claims could be made against Singular Health for liabilities resulting from adverse medical consequences to patients. |
Section 7.2(m) |
| Technology changes |
Singular Health participates in a competitive environment. Information technology systems are continuing to develop and are subject to rapid change, while business practices continue to evolve. Singular Health’s success will in part depend on its ability to offer services and systems that remain current with the continuing changes in technology, evolving industry standards and changing consumer preferences. There is a risk that Singular Health will not be successful in addressing these developments in a timely manner, or that expenses will be greater than expected. In addition, there is a risk that new products or technologies (or alternative systems) developed by third parties will supersede Singular Health’s technology. This may materially and adversely impact Singular Health’s income and profitability. |
Section 7.2(o) |
| Reputation risks | The strength of Singular Health’s reputation is important to retaining and increasing its customer base, maintaining its relationships with partner companies and other service providers and successfully implementing Singular Health’s business strategy. There is a risk that unforeseen issues or events may adversely impact Singular Health’s reputation. This may adversely impact the future growth and profitability of Singular Health. |

2. COMPANY AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW
2.1 MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES
Two-dimensional ( 2D ) and three-dimensional ( 3D ) visual aids are used in medicine to help communication, documentation and education of students, health professionals and the public. These visual aids are also used by medical practitioners for surgical visualisation and planning purposes. 2D objects can be defined as having length and breadth but no depth and 3D objects can be defined as having, or seeming to have, three dimensions . Whilst there are many forms of each type of visualisation, 2D medical visual aids often take the form of photographs and clinical scans, whereas 3D medical visual aids often take the form of 3D medical photographs, interactive computerised models and volume-rendered models from 2D clinical scans.
Whilst 2D illustrations can be broken down and depicted in many forms, 2D scans, such as computed tomography ( CT ) and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scans, require expertise in their interpretation and may not produce the level of detail required by medical practitioners and/or medical students. Creating 3D models and using virtual reality in medical image visualisation can offer a number of advantages over traditional approaches. These include:
==> picture [7 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [11 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [12 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
-
enhanced depth perception offering additional detail, such as microcalcification and its patterns, to determine the risk of cancer;
-
ability to use enhanced digital features such as colours or shapes to annotate an image;
-
use of arrows or notes to enhance collaboration between physicians; and
-
use of zooming, rotating etc. within the image to increase the ability to identify abnormalities such as small tumours.
2.2 OVERVIEW OF SINGULAR HEALTH AND OPERATIONS
Singular Health’s technology was first developed at the direction of Dr Jason Tan (an Oncologist based in Perth, Western Australia) in 2017 to assist in surgical planning for complex procedures.
Since then, Singular Health has developed into a technology-driven medical imaging company with the mission of developing technologies that provide patients and practitioners with access to personalised, enhanced medical data to inform better health decisions. Singular Health develops and licences to its customers proprietary software for the visualisation, manipulation and transfer of medical imaging data in 3D and virtual reality.
Singular Health’s primary technology is its proprietary volumetric rendering platform which creates 3D objects that can be viewed in 3D and/or virtual reality from a series of 2D medical images (the Volumetric Rendering Platform or VRP ).
Singular Health’s software products, whilst specialised for their specific applications and markets, are unified in their usage of the VRP. Singular Health’s flagship product is “MedVR”. MedVR provides users with detailed 3D volumetric and immersive viewing functionalities primarily through the use of virtual reality ( MedVR ). MedVR is a TGA IVD Medical Device Class I Software and is listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods at the Prospectus Date.
MedVR has been commercialised, is generating revenue and is used by medical practitioners, medical students, hospitals and universities locally and internationally including in Brunei, Singapore, South Africa, Hong Kong and Switzerland. Refer to section 2.7 for details of the Company’s business and revenue model, as well as the financial information set out in section 5.
The Group has protected its primary technology with an Australian innovation patent (Medical virtual reality and mixed reality collaboration platform) and has a number of trade secrets covering the VRP, its software and its technology generally. Please see section 11 for further details on the Group’s intellectual property.

2.5 TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Singular Health’s core proprietary technology, the Volumetric Rendering Platform, uses proprietary code and algorithms to accurately convert 2D medical imagery into volumetric 3D models which can be visualised, manipulated, modified and reviewed using a standard monitor or by utilising virtual reality.
By way of example, the VRP can convert a standard 2D axial view of a thorax into a 3D volume rendered thorax that can be viewed and manipulated in virtual reality. The images at Figure 3 below highlight how 2D images can be stacked to provide depth and can therefore be viewed in 3D.
1 The restructure was undertaken whereby the Company (being Singular Health Group Limited, the entity seeking admission to ASX) was established to become the ultimate holding company of Singular Health Pte Ltd (which held all the shares in Singular Health Pty Ltd) and was implemented by way of a straight 1 for 1 share exchange, with all shareholders in Singular Health Pte Ltd becoming shareholders in the Company and retaining the exact same percentage interest in the share capital of the Company. Two of the three Singular Health Pte Ltd directors (namely, Thomas Hanly and Denning Chong) at the time of the share exchange became directors of the Company. Jaseentha D’Silva Pettersson was a local resident director for compliance purposes of Singular Health Pte Ltd at the time of the share exchange. As at the date of this Prospectus, Ms Pettersson remains a local resident director of Singular Health Pte Ltd for compliance purposes only. Ms Pettersson controls no shares in the Company and receives a nominal annual fee for SGD$2,000 for her services.

==> picture [399 x 95] intentionally omitted <==
Notes:
Left to right: a standard axial view of a thorax, volumetric stack of axial images, the 3D volume rendered thorax using MedVR.
The core value proposition of the VRP is that it:
-
(i) allows for the real-time conversion of medical imaging data (allowing end-users to volume render 2D data, typically within 120 seconds from the time the imaging file is available);
-
(ii) possesses in-situ processing capabilities and does not rely upon any internet connectivity and/or external code libraries or processing to convert images from 2D to 3D, which acts to both protect patient confidentiality and enable off-line usage of the technology in remote and rural locations;
-
(iii) assists in the integration of Singular Health’s technology into the medical and education markets and workflows, any alterations, measurements, screenshots or videos (derivatives of the main scan) are saved in industry standard file formats (.obj, .stl, .json, .jpeg, .mp4). This not only makes derivative information much more transferable and viewable on traditional 2D DICOM viewers but permits the usage of files in third party computer-aided design packages and media viewers whilst still preserving the proprietary nature of the rapid volumetric rendering;
-
(iv) allows end-users to experience a fully-immersive viewing experience with 360° viewing and in some instances the inclusion of a 4[th] dimension, being the time taken to perform a virtual surgical action and/or review 4D scans (such as functional MRIs);
-
(v) is designed to operate using the graphics processing capabilities of high-end yet retail grade hardware, including Alienware laptops, thin-client desktops and Oculus Rift S virtual reality headsets. The combined cost of the hardware is approximately $5,000 resulting in a low capital expenditure by end-users; and
-
(vi) can be integrated with picture archiving and communications systems within hospital and clinical environments to provide easy, industry-standard access to the medical imagery used as inputs for the software.
The Directors believe that the VRP provides multiple opportunities for growth through the development of surgical visualisation and planning products, patient education products and geological and resources focused products.

-
Maxillo-facial: used to visualise the mouth in 3D underneath skin and gum and to examine the movement of the mandible for oral surgery;
-
Prosthodontic : used to visualise periodontists, degradation of jaw structures and common pathologies in a quick and immersive manner;
-
Neurosurgical : the location of tumours and other particular areas of interests can be identified along with the anatomical structures between areas of interest and proposed entry points for biopsies and surgeries;
-
Oncology : due to MedVR’s ability to render PET scans (which are generally provided in colour and not greyscale), the location and size of tumours can be identified (but not diagnosed) and their spatial relationship to surrounding anatomy can be visualised in 3D and/or virtual reality;
-
General surgery : used to visualise the location of veins, arteries and other organs; and
-
Orthopaedics : used to visualise, segment and manipulate individual vertebrae.
The Company offers MedVR to hospitals, individual clinicians, schools and universities via a SaaS based subscription licensing model. At the Prospectus Date, subscriptions are priced at $300 per month for individual licences and enterprise licence agreements are negotiated on a volume basis with a price floor of $75 per month. In addition to the sale of subscription licences to new and existing customers, the Company also generates one-off revenue through the resale and installation of MedVR compatible virtual reality hardware.
(b) 3DICOMVIEWER
3DicomViewer is a cross-platform application that allows its users to interact with their medical scans in 3D ( 3DicomViewer ). The technology can be utilised by surgeons, dentists and other medical practitioners to provide patients with pre and post-operative 3D scans which can be viewed and manipulated on compatible desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
3DicomViewer is currently a freeware software product (meaning it is not revenue generating) that can be downloaded by users at https://3dicomviewer.com/.
The Directors believe that 3DicomViewer can be transitioned from a freeware product into a “freemium” model (a pricing strategy by which a base product or service is provided free of charge, but a fee (or premium) is charged for additional features or services that expand the functionality of the free version) and intend to complete this transition following Completion of the Offer.
Figure 4 below shows a screen shot of 3DicomViewer’s proposed freemium user interface.
26
Figure 4 – 3DicomViewer’s proposed freemium user interface
==> picture [401 x 228] intentionally omitted <==
(c) VISUALEYES
VisualEyes is the Company’s data visualisation project for the optometry sector. The Company is developing and seeking to commercialise a software product which is capable of rendering 2D retinal scans into 3D ( VisualEyes ). VisualEyes will allow its user to make mark-ups, take measurements and apply filters to the 3D file generated. VisualEyes will assist ophthalmologists to identify and communicate to patients’ early stage degenerative eye diseases and their potential effects.
Whilst VisualEyes was commissioned by Bailey Nelson optometrists, Singular Health will hold the intellectual property rights in VisualEyes and will licence the relevant software to Bailey Nelson on an exclusive basis until 31 July 2021. Further information on the agreement with Bailey Nelson can be found in section 10.13.
VisualEyes is under development as at the Prospectus Date and is not revenue generating. It is expected that VisualEyes will be launched in store at select Bailey Nelson outlets in early 2021.
Once development is complete, it is intended that VisualEyes will adopt a SaaS based subscription licensing model, with subscriptions priced at $100 per clinic per month for enterprise licences (including Bailey Nelson).
Figure 5 below shows a screen shot of the VisualEyes mobile application.

- (d) VIRTUAL ANATOMY
Virtual Anatomy is the Company’s collaborative 3D anatomical education software for secondary schools and tertiary education institutions.
The advantages of Virtual Anatomy include its:
==> picture [7 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [11 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
-
ability to facilitate collaborative learning;
-
interactive functions, which allows for visual quizzes, automatic grading and the setting of homework tasks;
-
ability to store image and model libraries (which will allow for the sub-licencing of content to third parties); and
broad application from high school students to final year medical students.
It is intended that Virtual Anatomy will adopt a SaaS based subscription licensing model, with subscriptions priced at $10 per student (or user account) per annum.
Figure 6 below shows a screen shot of a pulmonary system in the Virtual Anatomy application.

- (e) GEOVR
GeoVR is the Company’s proposed interactive visualisation and planning software for the mineral resources sector. GeoVR processes millions of data points sourced from multiple data sets to provide a consolidated 3D and/or virtual reality rendering of mineral resources data. The Company intends to continue to develop GeoVR with additional tools including predictive drill hole analysis, drill and blast optimisation and accurate volume analysis of inferred resources. It is intended that the virtual reality component of GeoVR will allow for full immersion and visualisation for technical analysis and investor presentations.
Singular Health does not consider GeoVR as being a core product and accordingly, it expects that it will continue to focus on the expansion of MedVR and 3DicomViewer in the medical and health care markets. However, it is anticipated that GeoVR will provide a near-term revenue opportunity for the Company whilst leveraging existing technology owned by the Company.
Figure 7 is a screen shot of drill hole and block model data in the GeoVR proof of concept.
Figure 7 – GeoVR proof of concept
==> picture [404 x 215] intentionally omitted <==
29
2.7 BUSINESS AND REVENUE MODEL
As detailed above, MedVR and 3DicomViewer leverage outputs generated from existing medical infrastructure such CT, MRI and PET scans. Accordingly, Singular Health’s business model is designed to complement and enhance the existing hospital and surgery workflow, thereby reducing the replacement costs and sales cycle typically experienced by businesses supplying hardware and software solutions in the health care sector.
The Company’s current business model is to gain further traction to demonstrate scalability and to increase sales of MedVR (and the Company’s other products) across all target markets. The Company’s unaudited revenue for the period commencing 1 July 2020 to 30 November 2020 is $22,609.
Further information on the financial performance of the Group is included in the Financial Information section and the Investigating Accountant’s Report included in section 5 and section 6, respectively.
The Group has generated (or has commitment for) revenue in Australia, Brunei, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong and Switzerland.
Singular Health has the following two primary revenue streams:
(a) RECURRING FEES STRUCTURE Singular Health primarily generates monthly recurring revenue through the licensing of individual MedVR systems under a SaaS model. The MedVR system is comprised of a single licence which allows the use of the MedVR software on a virtual reality compatible work station. The Company intends for this recurring revenue stream to become its primary source of revenue and to apply this model to its next generation products, whilst catering for additional specific medical visualisation tools and requirements.
The Company is focused on providing a quality product that exceeds the expectations its customers have to ensure the Company maintains high customer retention rates. It is therefore the intention of the Company to have optional monthly and annual fixed term contracts with its customers under different pricing regimes. This model enables customers to subscribe month-to-month, or continue for a longer period at reduced cost.
Singular Health intends for the fee structure to be tailored to meet specific customer requirements, with consideration given to software configuration, length of contract and number of systems purchased.
- (b) SALE OF MEDVR WORKSTATIONS
Singular Health generates revenue through the sale of MedVR compatible workstations at the time of customer on-boarding. The nature of the workstation supplied is determined by user requirements and is procured, configured and installed by Singular Health. Singular Health acquires the hardware directly from distributors and manufactures which is then on-sold.
Singular Health intends to develop the following additional revenue streams:
(c) MEDUFACTURE
It is intended that near term revenue will be realised from the income derived through the Company’s Medufacture Joint Venture, via the joint venture’s purchase and commissioning of a titanium 3D printer that will leverage the Company’s technology and will be, to the Company’s knowledge, the only known commercial medical grade metal 3D printer in Western Australia. Current estimates are that Global3D subcontracts or passes-on A$250,000 of medical titanium 3D printing work each year to East Coast additive manufacturers, which will shortly be able to be undertaken through the Medufacture Joint Venture.
30
(d) PRODUCT INTEGRATION AND ENHANCEMENT FEES
Singular Health’s software is a new entrant to the medical imaging and visualisation market. Accordingly, Singular Health will provide product integration services and oversee the installation and integration of the technology throughout the customer’s facilities. As a result, Singular Health expects that certain customers may require specific additional functionalities or features to be provided as part of the Company’s service.
The Company anticipates that the fees to implement such specific or bespoke functionalities or features will be tailored based on client needs and charged on a project by project basis (based on complexity and other factors). However, these fees are not expected to form a significant portion of the Company’s revenue.
2.8 GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company’s current growth strategy is centred on commercialising and scaling the Company’s business through a focus on Marketing and Sales , Research and Development and Supply Chains and Installation , as follows:
(a) MARKETING AND SALES
Currently, the Company’s main strategy focuses on increasing direct sales of MedVR and VisualEyes, through targeted digital marketing campaigns. The Company is of the opinion that the best course of action to implement this strategy is to appoint additional sales and support teams, promote the Company and its products internationally to raise market awareness and develop digital marketing facilitated sales and direct e-commerce sales of VisualEyes.
In addition, the Company is pursuing options to transition 3DicomViewer to a “freemium” model (a pricing strategy by which a base product or service is provided free of charge, but a fee (or premium) is charged for additional features or services that expand the functionality of the free version) which is expected to be sold and marketed as 3DicomViewer Pro and Surgical . It is intended that further developments will be made to 3DicomViewer to enable cross-platform usage and scalable installation on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
(b) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company intends to focus its research and development on:
-
further technical development of MedVR focusing on specific surgical tools such as virtual colonoscopies as well as reducing MedVR’s hardware requirements to allow installation and usage on next-generation, standalone virtual reality systems (such as the “Oculus Quest 2”);
-
the development and commercialisation of the mobile 3DicomViewer Pro and Surgical , to be delivered as a freemium product operating on a SaaS model;
-
participating in matched funding opportunities for the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications;
-
the purchase and commissioning of a medical grade titanium 3D printer in Perth, Western Australia, through the Medufacture Joint Venture; and
-
conducting a technical feasibility study for GeoVR.
31
(c) SUPPLY CHAINS AND INSTALLATION
The Company’s strategy also involves the scalable and cost-effective deployment of, and support for, the Company’s software products. At the Prospectus Date, Singular Health relies upon “Oculus” as the manufacturer of its virtual reality headsets and hardware. To reduce its reliance upon “Oculus” products, the Company intends to further develop its software to allow compatibility with other virtual reality hardware. The Company is currently in the process of forming relationships with other key distributors and manufactures of virtual reality hardware with a view to improving pricing models, support and supply chain reliability.
Singular Health also intends to develop 3DicomViewer and VisualEyes into intuitive, self-installed software products, which reduces the need for physical installation and deployment (which is not cost effective nor scalable).
2.9 COMMERCIALISATION STRATEGY
The table below sets out the Company’s commercialisation strategy, outlining from where the Company is today to each stage it will aim for, once the predecessor has been achieved:
| Stage 1 (Current) | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | Stage 4 |
|---|---|---|---|

2.11 KEY DEPENDENCIES OF THE BUSINESS MODEL
The key factors that the Company will depend on to meet its stated objectives include:

-
the successful Completion of the Public Offer;
-
the progression of pilot programs into ongoing commercial arrangements;
-
execution of marketing and sales strategies to generate new customers and interest;
-
continual development and expansion of the Company’s technology;
-
generating or raising sufficient funds to pursue business growth opportunities;
-
the successful commercialisation of 3DicomViewer and VisualEyes;
-
there being a market for 3D and virtual reality medical technology as well as 3D printing of medical components; and
-
raising sufficient funds to:
-
(A) develop next generation technology that allows the Company to commercialise 3DicomViewer and VisualEyes; and
-
(B) pursue business growth opportunities.
2.12 REGULATORY POSITION
The regulatory requirements for medical devices in Australia are some of the most stringent in the world. Compliance with these requirements and associated activities, such as application audits and post-market reviews, is never optional or voluntary. This is not unique to Australia as many other countries around the world (including those in which the Company operates or intends to operate) adopt similar stringent regulatory regimes for the approval of medical devices. Most countries will not automatically grant regulatory approval solely based on an overseas approval (such as an Australian approval).
Whilst (at the Prospectus Date) MedVR is already a TGA IVD Medical Device Class I and listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, Singular Health intends to seek a number of other regulatory approvals for its products, including FDA 510(k) clearance for a fixed annual version of 3DicomViewer and MedVR. The FDA clearance may allow the Company to market and sell its software to hospitals and clinics in the United States and is expected to assist Singular Health to obtain equivalent regulatory approvals in other countries which are influenced by approvals granted in the United States. The granting (or otherwise) of the FDA clearance will depend on the results of clinical trials conducted in respect of the relevant software.
33
Singular Health is currently able to avoid meeting certain regulatory requirements by marketing each of MedVR and 3DicomViewer as a SaMD and “visualisation aid” of a non-diagnostic nature.
Singular Health intends to obtain the regulatory approvals required to distribute MedVR and 3DicomViewer in Australia and internationally as diagnostic devices. Singular Health also intends to apply to the Chinese Food and Drug Administration for regulatory clearance from China’s National Medical Products Administration.
The Company is confident that it can continue to successfully market MedVR and 3DicomViewer as a SaMD and visualisation aid however the Company recognises that there are further opportunities available if both products achieve diagnostic device classification. Singular Health is also in the process of applying for ISO13485 and ISO9001 to verify the additional quality management systems within the Group.
2.13 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Group has built a portfolio of intellectual property rights to protect its core technology, which includes an Australian innovation patent as well as a number of trade marks.
Singular Health also has trade secrets residing in:
==> picture [7 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [11 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
standard operating procedures;
proprietary software that runs it products; and
technical know-how to build the VRP.
The details of Singular Health’s intellectual property portfolio are more fully detailed in section 11.
2.14 GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES

2.15 DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future as its focus will primarily be on growing the existing business.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend upon matters such as the availability of distributable earnings, the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurances are given in relation to the payment of dividends, or that any dividends may attach franking credits.

4.3 KEY CONSULTANT
The software on which the Company is based was the brainchild of Dr Jason Tan.

Whilst not a member of the senior management team, Dr Tan now acts in a consulting capacity to the Company.
Dr Jason Tan received his medical degree from the University of Western Australia in 1998. Thereafter, he completed six years of specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology and was a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 2007. He undertook further training and completed his fellowship in advanced gynaecological endoscopy at Monash Medical Centre, Melbourne, in 2008. Dr Tan trained for a further three years to subspecialise in gynaecological oncology. In addition to that, he completed his fellowship in upper gastrointestinal surgery and bariatric surgery at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in 2011.
Dr Tan pioneered the robotic surgery for gynaecology and gynaecological oncology in Western Australia with the Da Vinci System, further enhancing the legacy of minimally invasive surgery pioneered in Perth by the late Dr Tony McCartney. A robot assisted approach is advantageous in highly complicated procedures due to the better vision and dexterity offered by the robotic instrumentation.
Details of the consultancy agreements entered into with Dr Tan is set out in section 10.7.

3) The determination of the number of Performance Rights to be allocated to Guan Tay was determined by negotiation between himself and the Company and considered to be a fair and equitable number of securities to be issued to him in order to recognise his contribution in developing scientific and educational opportunities for the Company. 4) Not classified as a senior manager, but considered a key consultant to the Company given his historical involvement and technical surgical expertise.

4.10 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company, including adopting comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the Company’s policies and procedures and has the responsibility of ensuring the Company is properly managed to protect and enhance Shareholders’ interests.
Accordingly, the Board has created a framework for managing the Company, including adopting relevant internal controls, risk management processes and corporate governance policies and practices which it believes are appropriate for the Company’s business and are designed to promote the responsible management and conduct of the Company.
The Company is seeking a listing on the ASX. The ASX Corporate Governance Council has developed and released its fourth edition of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( ASX Recommendations ) for Australian listed entities in order to promote investor confidence and to assist companies in meeting stakeholder expectations. The ASX Recommendations are not prescriptions, but guidelines. However, under the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will be required to provide a statement in its annual report disclosing the extent to
62
which it has followed the ASX Recommendations in the reporting period. Where the Company does not follow a recommendation, it must identify the recommendation that has not been followed and give reasons for not following it. The Company must also disclose what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted instead of the recommendation during that period.
In light of the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that the current corporate governance policies and structures are effective and practical. As the Company’s activities develop in size, the Board, on an ongoing basis, will review the corporate governance policies to ensure that these are appropriate for the size of the Company and the nature of its activities.
The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices, as at the date of this Prospectus, are detailed below. Prior to Completion of the Offer, copies of the Company’s key policies and practices and the Company’s Board Charter will be available at https://singular.health/investors.
(a) BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The name and biographical details of the current members of the current and proposed members of the Board of Directors are contained in section 4.1.
Each Director and Proposed Director (as applicable) has confirmed to the Company that he anticipates being available to perform his duties as a Non-Executive Director or Executive Director without constraint having regard to their other commitments.
The Board considers an independent Director to be a Non-Executive Director who is free of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders generally. The Board will consider the materiality of any given relationship on a case-by-case basis and has adopted guidelines to assist in this regard. The Board reviews the independence of each Director in light of interests disclosed to the Board from time to time. In assessing independence, the Board will have regard to the ASX Recommendations.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Board comprises one Non-Executive Director and two Executive Directors. Immediately prior to Admission, the Board is intended to comprise three Non-Executive Directors (two of which are considered independent) and two Executive Directors.
The Board considers that Mr Howard Digby (proposed Non-Executive Chairman), and Mr Andrew Just (proposed Non-Executive Director) are free from any interest, position, association or relationship that may influence or reasonably be perceived to influence, the independent exercise of the Director’s judgement and that each of them is able to fulfil the role of independent Director for the purpose of the ASX Recommendations.
(b) BOARD CHARTER
The Board’s role in risk oversight includes receiving reports from management and its auditors on a regular basis regarding material risks faced by the Company and applicable mitigation strategies and activities. These reports detail the effectiveness of the risk-management program and identify and address material business risks such as technological, strategic, business, operational, financial, human resources and legal/regulatory risks. The Board considers these reports and discusses matters with management to identify and evaluate any potential strategic or operational risks and activities to address any such risks.
The Board has adopted a written charter ( Board Charter ) to provide a framework for the effective operation of the Board, the purpose of which is to promote high standards of corporate governance, clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Board, provide strategic guidance to the Company, protect the interests of its Shareholders and to act efficiently, honestly and fairly.

5. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
5.1 INTRODUCTION
(a) FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated on 20 February 2020 for the primary purpose of acquiring Singular Health Pte. Ltd. and its controlled entity, Singular Health Pty Ltd, as part of an internal Group restructure in preparation for listing on the ASX.
The financial information in this section includes:
-
Statutory Historical Financial Information , being the:
-
statutory historical consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the Company for the financial period ended 30 June 2020;
-
statutory historical consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2020;
-
statutory historical consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company for the financial period ended 30 June 2020; and
-
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information , being the pro forma historical consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2020.
Singular Health, which has a 30 June financial year end, has prepared audited historical consolidated financial statements for the period 12 September 2019 (the date of incorporation of Singular Health Pte. Ltd.) to 30 June 2020. Because of the internal Group restructure, referred to above, the historical financial results and cashflows are based on the combination of those of Singular Health (for the period from incorporation, being 20 February 2020, to 30 June 2020) and those of Singular Health Pte. Ltd. and Singular Health Pty Ltd (for the period from 12 September 2019 to 30 June 2020).
The historical consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period ended 30 June 2020 has been prepared on an aggregated basis as though the wholly owned subsidiaries of Singular Health, being Singular Health Pte. Ltd. and Singular Health Pty Ltd had been wholly owned subsidiaries for the entire period.
Also summarised in this section are the basis of preparation and presentation of the Financial Information (see section 5.2).
The Financial Information has been reviewed and reported on by Moore Australia Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd whose Investigating Accountant’s Report is contained in section 6. Investors should note the scope and limitations of the Investigating Accountant’s Report.
The information in this section should also be read in conjunction with other information contained in this Prospectus including:
-
management discussion and analysis set out in this section 5;
-
the risk factors described in section 7; and
-
the Investigating Accountant’s Report on the historical and pro-forma financial information set out in section 6.
Investors should also note that historical results are not a guarantee of future performance.
All amounts disclosed in the tables are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.
(b) FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES APPLIED TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The exchange rates used for the translation of the historical financial information and the proforma financial information are set out below.
83
The statutory historical consolidated statement of financial position and the pro-forma historical consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020 have included the financial position of Singular Health Pte. Ltd. translated at a closing rate of AUD to Singaporean dollar of 0.9676. The results and cashflows of Singular Health Pte. Ltd. were translated at an average rate of AUD to Singaporean dollar of 0.93.
(c) FORECAST FINANCIAL INFORMATION
There are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenues and expenses of the Group. Given uncertainty as to timing and outcome of the Group’s growth strategies and the nature of the industry in which the Group operates, as well as uncertain macro market and economic conditions the Group’s performance in any future period cannot be reliably estimated. Given this, and after consideration of ASIC Regulatory Guide 170, the Directors do not believe they have a reasonable basis to reliably forecast future earnings and accordingly forecast results have not been included in the Prospectus.
5.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(a) OVERVIEW
The Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information.
The Financial Information included in this Prospectus is intended to present potential investors with information to assist them in understanding the historical financial performance, cash flows and financial position of Singular Health and its controlled entities.
The Statutory Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards ( AAS ) (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations), issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, which are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of AAS, other than that it includes certain adjustments which have been prepared in a manner consistent with AAS, which reflect the impact of certain transactions as if they had occurred on or before 30 June 2020.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not reflect the actual statement of financial position of Singular Health as at 30 June 2020. Singular Health believes that it provides useful information as it illustrates the financial position of the consolidated Group as at 30 June 2020 on the basis that the Public Offer and other related pro-forma transactions were completed as at that date.
The Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form and does not include all of the disclosures, statements or comparative information required by AAS applicable to annual financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied throughout the periods presented. Significant accounting policies of Singular Health, relevant to the Financial Information are set out in section 5.5.
(b) PREPARATION OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Historical Financial Information is presented on both a statutory and pro forma basis.
The Statutory Historical Financial Information for the period ended 30 June 2020 for Singular Health has been derived from the audited general purpose historical consolidated financial reports of Singular Health Group Ltd for the period ended 30 June 2020.
The financial statements of Singular Health for the period ended 30 June 2020 were audited by Moore Australia Audit (WA), which issued an unqualified audit opinion. Their report did however contain an emphasis of matter in respect of the going concern basis of accounting.
84
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been prepared for the purposes of inclusion in this Prospectus. The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the Statutory Historical Financial Information, adjusted to reflect proposed transactions as set out in section 5.4(b).
The Directors have accounted for the effect of the Singular Health Pte. Ltd. acquisition as a common control transaction on the basis that it does not fall within the scope of AASB 3 “Business Combinations”. In the Directors’ opinion, the continuation of existing accounting value is consistent with the accounting that would have occurred if the assets and liabilities had already been in a structure suitable for listing on ASX, and most appropriately reflects the substance of the internal Group restructure that took place when Singular Health was interposed as the new parent company.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information presented in this Prospectus has been reviewed by Moore Australia Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd, whose Investigating Accountant’s Report is contained in section 6. Investors should note the scope and limitations of that report.

(e) PRO FORMA ISSUED CAPITAL RECONCILIATION
Subsequent to 30 June 2020 the Company has entered into a number of research agreements, heads of agreements and joint venture agreements with third parties, which give rise to significant financial commitments over the terms of those agreements. These are summarised in sections 10.9 to 10.14 (inclusive).
5.5 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied during the period presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated on 20 February 2020. The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Company was incorporated to be the holding company for the restructured group pursuant to the restructuring exercise described below.
Singular Health Pte. Ltd. and Singular Health Pty Ltd were incorporated on 12 September 2019. Singular Health Pte. Ltd. acquired the intellectual property and software development associated with MedVR from MedVR Pty Ltd for cash of $230,000 effective 30 September 2020.
91
(b) RESTRUCTURING EXERCISE
The Company was incorporated to act as the holding company for the Group for the purposes of undertaking an initial public offering and listing on ASX.
As a result of the restructuring exercise the Company became the holding company of Singular Health Pte. Ltd. and Singular Health Pty Ltd. The restructuring exercise described above resulted in a business combination involving common control entities and accordingly the accounting treatment is outside the scope of AASB 3.
For such common control business combinations the financial statement items of the combined entities for the year in which the common control combination occurs are included in the financial statements of the Group as if the combination had occurred from the date when the combined entities first came under control of the controlling parties. Accordingly, this financial information covers the period from 12 September 2019 to 30 June 2020, notwithstanding that the Company was incorporated on 20 February 2020.
A single uniform set off accounting polices has been adopted by the Group, with all assets and liabilities recognised at book values at the time of the common control transaction with no recognition of goodwill or fair value uplifts to the acquirees’ assets or liabilities at the time of the common control transaction.
(c) GOING CONCERN BASIS OF PREPARATION
As disclosed in the Financial Information, the Group has incurred losses for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $707,588 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $548,169. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had cash assets of $130,552 and net liabilities of $213,586.
The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account all available information, for a period of 12 months from the date of issuing of the financial report.
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities, including the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Directors believe that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due is dependent upon the following factors:
-
As disclosed in section 5.4(b), subsequent to the end of the financial year the Company has raised additional funds of $1,055,000 by way of the issue of additional convertible notes;
-
The Directors being successful in obtaining future funding to meet the Company’s objectives and payment obligations as and when they fall due by engaging with parties in raising additional capital or issuing debt;
-
The ability of the Company to scale down its operations in order to conserve cash in the event that sufficient cash is not available to meet projected expenditure.
After consideration of the above factors, the Directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate for the Company to prepare the financial information on a going concern basis and, as a result, the financial information does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue on a going concern basis.
Notwithstanding this assessment, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months and, if this was to be the case, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
92
(d) BASIS OF PREPARATION
This general-purpose financial information has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. The Financial Information also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.
Historical cost convention
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial information requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below.
Income tax
The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in this section, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
Convertible Notes
The convertible notes are valued and recorded in the accounts having regard to the conversion features attributed to the notes including the discount on conversion to the ASX listing price (which is assumed to be 20 cents per share). The implicit cost of the conversion discount described as “Prepaid Interest on Convertible Notes” is amortised to profit and loss over the estimated period it will take the Company to Complete the Public Offer and list on ASX.
(e) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all the assets, liabilities and results of the Company and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the Company controls. A company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
93
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, noncontrolling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.
(f) BUSINESS COMBINATION
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
(g) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes and duty.
Revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognized.
(h) SALE OF GOODS
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
The Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
-
The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
It is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
-
The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
94
(i) RENDERING OF SERVICES
Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
-
The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
It is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
-
The stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
-
The costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
(j) INCOME TAX
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
(k) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(l) TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for impairment. Expected credit losses are determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes and taking into account past events, current conditions and assessment of future economic conditions. The Group considered the credit risk of their trade receivables using reasonable and supportable information.
(m) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives.
(n) TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted.
95
(o) PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(p) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
(q) ISSUED CAPITAL
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(r) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Finite Life Intangible Asset
Intellectual property and software development, comprising costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in developing software and licences that will contribute to future period’s financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised as an asset. The capitalise assets are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 4 years.
(s) GOODWILL
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed.
96
(t) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified "at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at:
-
amortised cost; or
-
fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit and loss if the financial liability is:
-
a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations applies;
-
held for trading; or
-
initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.
A financial liability is held for trading if:
-
it is incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying in the near term;
-
part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or
-
a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative that is in an effective hedging relationship).
Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not part of a designated hedging relationship are recognised in profit or loss.
The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable to changes in the issuer's credit risk is taken to other comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, they are transferred to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other comprehensive income enlarges or creates an accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses should be taken to profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income.
A financial liability cannot be reclassified.
97
Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
-
amortised cost;
-
fair value through other comprehensive income; or
-
fair value through profit or loss.
Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria:
-
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and
-
the business model for managing the financial assets.
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates.
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
-
the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates; and
-
the business model for managing the financial assets comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the financial asset.
By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group initially designates a financial instrument as measured at fair value through profit or loss if:
-
it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (often referred to as “accounting mismatch”) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases;
-
it is in accordance with the documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the groupings was documented appropriately, so that the performance of the financial liability that was part of a group of financial liabilities or financial assets can be managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value basis; and
-
it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows otherwise required by the contract.
The initial designation of the financial instruments to measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the financial asset is derecognised.
Equity instruments
At initial recognition, as long as the equity instrument is not held for trading and not a contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3:Business Combinations applies, the Group made an irrevocable election to measure any subsequent changes in fair value of the equity instruments in other comprehensive income, while the dividend revenue received on underlying equity instruments investment will still be recognised in profit or loss.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised at settlement date in accordance with the Group's accounting policy.
98
Derecognition
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial position.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (ie when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder's contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred.
All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial asset:
-
the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred;
-
all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and
-
the Group no longer controls the asset (ie the Group has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell the asset to a third party).
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified under fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.
Impairment
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on:
-
financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income;
-
lease receivables;
-
contract assets (e.g. amounts due from customers under construction contracts);
-
• loan commitments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
-
financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Loss allowance is not recognised for:
-
financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; or
-
equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows expected to be received, all discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument.
99
The Group uses the general approach to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments.
Under the general approach, at each reporting period, the Group assesses whether the financial instruments are credit-impaired, and if:
-
the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance of the financial instruments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses; or
-
there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements
At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset.
Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income. Amounts in relation to change in credit risk are transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or loss at every reporting period.
For financial assets that are unrecognised (eg loan commitments yet to be drawn, financial guarantees), a provision for loss allowance is created in the statement of financial position to recognise the loss allowance.
(u) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
100
- retained profits are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(v) LEASES
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts classified as short term leases (ie a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets are recognised as operating expenses on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
Initially the lease liability is recognised as the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease liabilities are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the entity will obtain ownership of the asset, or alternatively over the period of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

7. RISK FACTORS
7.1 INTRODUCTION
Investing in shares involves risk. There are a number of risks that, either individually or in combination, may materially and adversely affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares. Some of these risks may be mitigated by Singular Health’s internal controls and processes, but many are outside of the control of Singular Health, the Directors and Management. An investment in Singular Health should be considered highly speculative. There can be no assurance that Singular Health will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward-looking statements will eventuate.
This section describes the risks which the Company currently believes to be the key risks associated with an investment in the Company. It does not purport to be an exhaustive list of every risk faced by the Company, now or in the future. Many of these risks, or the consequences of them, are outside the control of the Company. If one or more of these risks, or a risk not specifically referred to in this Prospectus eventuates, then the future operating performance of the Company and the value of the Shares and of your investment may be significantly affected.
Prospective investors should read the whole of this Prospectus and consult with their professional advisers for legal, business, financial or tax advice in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to apply for Shares.
The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors that Applicants need to be aware of. These risks have been separated into:
(a) risks specific to an investment in the Company; and
- (b) general risks relating to an investment in a listed Company.
The selection of risks has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring, the ability to mitigate the risk and impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Company as at the Prospectus Date, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of different risks will not change, or other risks will not emerge. Any of these risks, and any other risks that may emerge, may have a material adverse effect on the business and financial position and performance.
There can be no guarantee that the Company will deliver on its business strategy, or that any forward looking statement contained in this Prospectus will be achieved or realised. Investors should note that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Investors should specifically consider the factors contained in this section and elsewhere in the Prospectus in light of their own investment objectives and financial circumstances, and should seek professional advice from their accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest in Shares.
7.2 COMPANY SPECIFIC RISKS
(a) PROTECTION AND OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Group seeks to protect its intellectual property through patents, trade marks, trade secrets, copyright and know-how. Please see the Intellectual Property Report in section 11 for further information.
Whilst the Group protects its intellectual property through these measures, there can be no guarantee that there will not be any unauthorised use or misuse of its intellectual property or reverse engineering of its software by competitors. If the Group fails to protect its intellectual property, competitors may gain access to proprietary information which could harm the Company’s business.
109
There is a risk that the Group will not be able to register or otherwise protect new intellectual property it develops in the future. Competitors may be able to work around any of the applications or other intellectual property rights used by the Company, or independently develop technologies or competing products that are not covered by the Company’s intellectual property rights. This may materially adversely impact the Company’s revenue, legal expenses and profitability.
If the Company believes its intellectual property rights have been infringed, it may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement, or to establish the validity, of the Company’s rights. Any litigation, whether or not successful, could result in significant expense to the Company and divert the efforts of its personnel. In addition, any infringement could result in revenue loss and may be detrimental to Singular Health’s reputation and brand value.
Singular Health’s commercial success is, to a large extent, reliant upon its intellectual property being suitably protected and providing the Company with enforceable rights (through the registration of patents and trade marks). The Company cannot give assurance that the patents, trade marks or other intellectual property in existence today or created in the future will be able to be adequately protected.
(b)
RELIANCE ON SENIOR PERSONNEL
Singular Health’s operational success will depend substantially on the continuing efforts of its key management personnel and on its ability to attract and retain key quality staff and consultants.
The Company relies on experienced managerial and highly qualified technical staff to develop and operate its technology and to direct operational staff to manage the operational, sales, compliance and other functions of its business.
The loss of one or more of Singular Health’s key management personnel could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and financial performance. The Company’s key personnel include its Managing Director, Thomas Hanly, Executive Director Innovation and Science, Guan Tay, Chief Operating Office, James Hill and Chief Technology Officer, Mr Thomas Morrell. Although these individuals have entered into contracts with the Company, there is no assurance that such contracts will not be terminated. If such contracts are terminated or breached, or if these individuals no longer continue in their current roles, new personnel will need to be employed, which may adversely affect the business. The Company is substantially dependent on the continued service of its existing development personnel due to the complexity of its products and technologies. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain the services of these people or that the Company will be able to recruit suitably qualified and talented staff in a time frame that meets the growth objectives of the Company.
(c)
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CAPITAL
As the Company’s current business grows, and new lines of business are developed, the Company will require additional funding to support the ongoing development and commercialisation of its technology and to provide working capital. Although the Directors believe that, on Completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital and capacity to carry out its short-term business objectives, there can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without further financing or, if further financing is necessary, that financing can be obtained on favourable terms or at all. Further, if additional funds are raised by issuing Shares, this may result in dilution for some or all of the Shareholders. Any inability to obtain financing (if required) would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
110
(d) LOSS OF KEY CONTRACTS AND ARRANGEMENTS
Singular Health has entered into a number of key contracts and arrangements which are important to the success of its business. There are a number of risks associated with these contracts, including the risk that the contracts may contain unfavourable provisions, or be terminated, lost or impaired, or renewed on less favourable terms. There is a risk that the business could be disrupted in situations where disagreement or dispute occurs in relation to the terms of a contract. Should such a disagreement or dispute occur, this may have an adverse impact of the Company’s operations and performance generally. It is not possible for the Company to predict or protect itself against such risks.
Material contracts entered into by Singular Health are summarised in section 10.
(e) LIMITED TRADING HISTORY AND NO PROFIT TO DATE
The Company has a limited operating history on which to evaluate its business and prospects and is currently loss making (meaning it is reliant on raising funds from investors to continue to fund its operations and product development). The Company’s operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in a recently formed business enterprise. The Company has no significant history of operations and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate or increase revenues from its existing and proposed products or avoid losses in any future period.
Although the Directors consider that the Company will, on Completion of the Offer, have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated objectives, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability or that it will achieve or sustain positive cash flow from its operating activities.
(f) CERTIFICATION OF NEW APPLICATIONS / PRODUCTS AND CLINICAL TRIALS
Singular Health has identified a number of new applications that are complementary to its existing products in addition to certifications that may allow for the use of MedVR in a diagnostic capacity including, TGA Class II, FDA(510k) clearance and CE Approval for the use of MedVR as a diagnostic SaMD. Singular Health is also developing a number of new applications in the fields of additive manufacturing, anatomical education and artificial intelligence. These new products, as well as any future iterations of MedVR, may require continual clearances for new diagnostic and/or surgical planning tools and any new features may be required to undergo clinical studies and those studies may show that the new products or the new features (as the case may be) do not work in a safe and effective manner or that they do not meet the standards required for commercial release. If the new products or the new features do meet the required standards (and there is no guarantee that they will) then there is a risk that Singular Health will not be able to compete with other clinically approved technological developments in the market sectors in which it operates.
Singular Health intends to conduct clinical studies of new software it develops in the future, but there can be no guarantee that relevant regulatory agencies will allow Singular Health to undertake such trials and/or the development and approval process for any new products or applications of existing products may take longer, cost more than expected and may result in the new software not producing a viable device.
Depending upon the severity of any failure of Singular Health to comply with any applicable regulations, Singular Health could be subject to enforcement actions, including but not limited to warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, civil monetary penalties, recalls or seizures of its devices, manufacturing restrictions, closure of its manufacturing factories, modifications or revocations of any clearances and approvals that it already holds or will hold, and/or criminal prosecution. If any such sanctions are imposed against Singular Health, such sanctions could harm Singular Health’s reputation and, depending upon the severity, could have significant adverse impact on Singular Health’s ability to provide services and on its financial performance and condition.
111
(g) FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
Singular Health operates internationally and therefore fluctuations in prevailing exchange rates may negatively affect Singular Health’s profitability and financial position. Unhedged and unfavourable movements in foreign exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue and/or cost of operating and therefore affect the market price of Shares. The most common foreign currency to be used is Singaporean dollars.
(h) EXPOSURE TO FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS AND LEGISLATION
Singular Health operates in multiple foreign jurisdictions. There are numerous risk factors associated with operating in foreign jurisdictions, including economic, social or political instability or change, currency non-convertibility or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, government participation, taxation, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange control, licensing, repatriation of income or return of capital, consumer health and industrial relations laws.
There can be no guarantee that political and economic conditions shall remain stable and any adverse changes to these conditions may adversely affect Singular Health’s operations and financial performance. In addition, failures by Singular Health to comply with foreign legislative or regulatory requirements may result in compliance orders being issued against Singular Health, financial penalties being levied against Singular Health, a cessation of Singular Health’s operations (either temporarily or permanently) and/or damages to Singular Health’s reputation, operations and/or financial performance.
(i) COMPETITION
The industry in which Singular Health is involved is subject to increasing global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. The Company will have no influence or control over the activities of its competitors, whose activities or actions may negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s business. For instance, competing companies may develop technology that supersedes Singular Health’s technology.
The size and financial strength of some of the Company’s competitors may make it difficult for Singular Health to maintain a competitive position in the medical technology market. A number of third-party competitors are offering products and services similar to Singular Health’s products. Existing competitors and new competitors entering into the industry may develop superior technology offerings or have enhanced scale benefits, which may have a material adverse effect of the Company’s revenue and financial performance.
(j) SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS
Virtual reality simulation requires two main components, specifically, a source of content and a user device. Singular Health’s virtual reality products currently support the use of “Oculus Rift S” and “Oculus Quest” 2 virtual reality headsets. If Oculus were to suspend, alter or terminate the manufacture of either of these virtual reality headsets (noting it has indicated an intention to terminate manufacture of the Oculus Rift S in April 2021), this, may impact the Company’s ability to provide its products and services to clients, which in turn would have a detrimental effect on the Company’s financial performance. There are other providers of virtual reality hardware, and the Company is in the process of testing the compatibility of other hardware devices with its technology.
Inability to access appropriate hardware in a timely fashion and on commercial terms may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position.
To mitigate this risk, Singular Health is actively engaging with alternate virtual reality hardware suppliers and developing software that supports alternate virtual reality hardware.
112
(k)
COMMERCIALISATION, MARKET AND SCALABILITY RISKS
There is no guarantee that Singular Health will be able to commercialise its various software products or fulfil distribution targets. In order to successfully commercialise and scale the distribution of its products, Singular Health’s technology (including the products and services based on that technology) require adoption of usage by individuals and institutions in a competitive sector. Scalable revenue growth from subscriptions to the various software products depends on numerous factors, including convincing potential consumers and partners of the benefits of Singular Health’s technology and the ability to provide services and products of sufficient quality in a timely manner with adequate post-sale technical and administrative support to ensure recurring usage.
(l) FUTURE TRANSACTIONS
Singular Health has formed a number of joint ventures and may seek to execute its growth strategy through the formation of additional joint ventures, or by acquiring businesses or companies. Despite the best endeavours of Singular Health to undertake appropriate due diligence investigations in relation to each potential future transaction, and to seek to ensure certain standard warranty and indemnity protections are contained in the relevant joint venture and/or business sale and purchase agreements, there is a risk that those due diligence investigations will not identify issues which are material to the acquisition and which could result in additional liabilities affecting Singular Health’s reputation and/or operational and financial performance.
(m)
MEDICAL OR PRODUCT LIABILITY RISK
Generally, medical technology companies may be subject to claims alleging negligence, product liability or breach of warranty that may involve large claims and significant defence costs whether or not such liability is imposed. These claims may be brought by individuals seeking relief for themselves, or increasingly, by groups seeking to represent a class. Claims could be made against Singular Health for liabilities resulting from adverse medical consequences to patients.
(n)
PRIVACY RISKS
Singular Health collects, stores and processes highly sensitive, highly regulated and confidential medical imaging data. There is a risk that the measures the Company takes may not be sufficient to detect or prevent unauthorised access to, or disclosure of, information collected in relation to the Company’s customers, end-user patients, employees and other sources of personal information. This may expose the Company to reputational damage, legal claims, termination of the Company’s contracts, and regulatory scrutiny and fines, any of which could materially adversely impact the financial performance and prospectus of the Company.
The Company’s security measures are subject to various risks including failure of end-users to comply with instructions for use, computer viruses, physical theft, physical damage resulting in a loss or corruption of data, operating system failures or similar disruptions. There is a risk that failure to adequately safeguard against any and all of these risks may result in a data breach, or a third party may gain access to confidential information of Singular Health’s customers, end-user patients or employees.
In addition, any security or data issues experienced by other software companies globally could adversely impact client’s trust in providing access to personal data generally, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to provide its service generally.
113
(o) TECHNOLOGY CHANGES
The Company participates in a competitive environment. Information technology systems are continuing to develop and are subject to rapid change, while business practices continue to evolve. The Company’s success will in part depend on its ability to offer services and systems that remain current with the continuing changes in technology, evolving industry standards and changing consumer preferences. There is a risk that the Company will not be successful in addressing these developments in a timely manner, or that expenses will be greater than expected. In addition, there is a risk that new products or technologies (or alternative systems) developed by third parties will supersede the Company’s technology. This may materially and adversely impact the Company’s income and profitability.
(p) REPUTATION RISKS
The strength of the Company’s reputation is important to retaining and increasing its customer base, maintaining its relationships with partner companies and other service providers and successfully implementing the Company’s business strategy. There is a risk that unforeseen issues or events may adversely impact the Company’s reputation. This may adversely impact the future growth and profitability of the Company.
(q) UNFORESEEN RISKS AND FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS
Force majeure events include, but are not limited to, acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease and pandemics, or other natural or manmade events. Singular Health and its Directors have limited ability to plan for, and/or insure against, the events outlined above. The occurrence of one, or more, of these events may adversely impact upon the operational and financial performance of Singular Health and the valuation of its Shares.
(r) LITIGATION
The Company may be subject to litigation and other claims and disputes in the course of its business, including contractual disputes, employment disputes, indemnity claims, and occupational and personal claims. Even if the Company is ultimately successful, there is a risk that such litigation, claims and disputes could materially and adversely impact the Company’s operating and financial performance due to the cost of settling such claims, and affect the Company’s reputation.
(s)
INSURANCE
The Company plans to maintain insurance as it considers appropriate for its needs. However, the Company will not be insured against all risks, either because appropriate coverage is not available or because the Directors consider the applicable premiums to be excessive in relation to the perceived benefits that would accrue. Accordingly, the Company may not be fully insured against all losses and liabilities that could unintentionally arise from its operations. If the Company incurs uninsured losses or liabilities, the value of the Company’s assets may be at risk.
7.3 SECURITIES INVESTMENT AND MARKET RISKS
(a) INVESTMENT RISKS Investors should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Company’s shares trade may be above or below the Offer Price, and may fluctuate in response to a number of factors including the risk factors identified in this section as well as securities market factors such as limited liquidity of the Shares and large price movements due to trading by major Shareholders.
Singular Health can make no guarantee as to the payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of the Shares increasing following Quotation.
114
(b) POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF SHARES
There are risks associated with any listed company investment. Some of these risks are listed below. The price at which Shares are quoted on the ASX may be subject to fluctuations in response to factors such as:
-
changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policy, legislation or the regulatory environment in which Singular Health operates;
-
changes in financial outcomes estimated by securities analysts;
-
changes in the market valuation of other comparable companies and the nature of the market in which Singular Health operates;
-
announcements by Singular Health or its competitors of significant acquisitions;
-
an event of force majeure, such as terrorism, fire, flood, earthquake, war or strikes;
-
fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks;
-
fluctuations in general domestic and global economic conditions, including interest rates and exchange rates; and
-
other events or factors which may be beyond Singular Health’s control.
There is a risk that broader market and industry factors may materially and adversely impact the price of the Shares, regardless of the Company’s operating performance, and may cause the Shares to trade at prices below the Offer Price. There is no assurance that the price of the Shares will increase following the quotation on the ASX.
(c) TRADING AND LIQUIDITY IN SHARES AND ESCROWED SHAREHOLDERS’ INTERESTS
In accordance with the escrow requirements in Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules, upon Official Quotation (assuming Maximum Subscription) approximately 20.55% of the Shares on issue will not be able to be traded for a period of 24 months commencing on the date of Admission, and (assuming Maximum Subscription) approximately a further 32.84% of the Shares on issue will not be able to be traded for a period of up to 12 months commencing from the date of Admission.
Given the number of Shares restricted from trading, assuming Maximum Subscription, there will only be liquidity with respect to approximately 46.62% of the Shares on issue at Completion of the Offer, including the Shares to be issued under the Offer, until such time as applicable escrow periods end. As at the Prospectus Date, the ASX is still considering the Company’s submission regarding the escrow to be applied to Shares on issue prior to the issue and allotment of the Shares under this Offer. As such, the numbers contained in this section may ultimately vary depending on the ASX’s final determination of the Company’s escrow position.
Following release from escrow, Shares held by escrowed Shareholders may be freely traded on the ASX. There is a risk that a significant sale of Shares by an Escrowed Shareholder, or the perception that such a sale has occurred or might occur, could adversely impact the price of the Shares.
(d) EXPOSURE TO GENERAL ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL MARKET CONDITIONS
General domestic and global economic conditions may adversely impact the price of Shares for reasons outside the Company’s control. This includes increases in unemployment rates, negative consumer and business sentiment and an increase in interest rates, amongst other factors. There is a risk that Shares may trade on the ASX at a price below their Offer Price for a wide variety of reasons, not all of them related to the financial performance of the Company.
115
(e) SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE DILUTED
In the future, Singular Health may issue Shares or other securities to engage in fundraisings, including financing joint ventures, business and/or capital acquisitions that Singular Health may decide to make, or to further fund its growth. While the Company will be subject to the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules regarding the percentage of its Shares or other securities it is able to issue within a 12 month period (other than where exceptions apply), Shareholders may be diluted as a result of such issues of Shares and fundraisings.
(f) ECONOMIC AND GOVERNMENT RISKS
The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the medical technology industry including, but not limited to, the following:
-
general economic conditions in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;
-
changes in government policies, taxation and other laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;
-
the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the technology sector;
-
movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and
-
natural disasters, social upheaval or war in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
(g)
REGULATORY RISKS
The Company’s operations may become subject to regulatory requirements, such as licensing and reporting obligations, which would increase the costs and resources associated with regulatory compliance. Any such increase in the costs and resources associated with regulatory compliance could impact upon the Company’s income. In addition, if regulators took the view that the Company had failed to comply with regulatory requirements, this could lead to enforcement action resulting in public warnings, infringement notices or the imposition of a pecuniary penalty. This could lead to significant damage to the Company’s reputation and consequently impact on its income.
The Company may offer its products, and any future developed products, throughout the world. Regulatory changes could see the Company being required to hold a licence in some of these jurisdictions or otherwise comply with local regulations. This could preclude the Company from offering certain services in these jurisdictions until such a licence has been obtained, or may require the Company to comply with a range of regulatory requirements. Any such increase in the costs and resources associated with the regulatory compliance in these jurisdictions could impact upon the Company’s income.
(h) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Singular Health’s financial reporting adheres to the Australian Accounting Standards which are set by the AASB and are outside the control of Singular Health and the Directors. Any changes to the accounting standards or to the interpretation of those standards may have an adverse impact on Singular Health’s reported financial performance and have a material impact upon the market value of the Shares.
116
(i) CHANGES IN TAXATION LAW AND POLICIES
Tax laws are in a continual state of change, which may affect the Company its Shareholders. Any changes to the current tax rates and legislation in the markets in which Singular Health operates, including but not limited to payroll tax, stamp duties, import duties and/or company income tax, may adversely impact Singular Health’s operational and financial performance. Additionally, any change in company and/or personal tax rules and tax arrangements may have adverse effects on the level of dividend imputation or franking and Shareholder returns.
(j) TAXATION
The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation point of view and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Shares under this Prospectus.
(k) SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT
The above list of risk factors is not to be taken as an exhaustive list of risks that the Company or its Shareholders are exposed to. The above risks, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially impact the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares. The Shares issued under the Offer carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which they may trade on ASX.
The Company does not currently pay dividends and is unlikely to pay a dividend for a period of time, if at all.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares under this Prospectus.
(l) EXPECTED FUTURE EVENTS MAY NOT OCCUR
Certain statements appearing in this Prospectus are in the nature of forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as, “expect”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “predict”, “plan”, “will”, “believe”, “forecast”, “estimate”, “target” and other similar expressions. Indications of, and guidance on, future earnings and financial position and performance are also forward-looking statements.
Applicants should be aware that such statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties which may result in actual operational and financial performance being materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Applicants should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements when considering whether to apply for Shares in Singular Health and there can be no guarantee that a particular outcome or future event referenced to by a forward-looking statement may occur.
(m) COMBINATION OF RISKS
Singular Health may be subject to a combination of risks, including any of the above risks outlined in this section 7, which could adversely affect the reputation, operational and financial performance of Singular Health and ultimately adversely impact upon the market value of the Shares.

121
This table represents the Company’s current intentions based upon its plans and present business conditions. The amounts and timing of the actual expenditures and investments may vary and will depend on numerous factors including any changes from the expected business environment. The Directors believe that the Company’s current cash reserves, and its cashflow from existing operations plus the net proceeds of the Public Offer means that the Company will have sufficient working capital to fund the Company’s stated business objectives as detailed in this Prospectus.
The Company expects to fund its operations through the proceeds of the Offer, operational cash flows and existing cash reserves. However, the use of further equity funding of Share placements will be considered by the Board where it is appropriate to accelerate a specific project or strategy. The Company may require further financing in the future. See section 7 for further details about the risks associated with the Company's future capital requirements.
8.6 FORECASTS
The Directors have considered the matters detailed in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
The Directors consequently believe that, given these inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to include reliable forecasts in this Prospectus.
8.7 CAPITAL STRUCTURE
On the basis that the Company completes the Offers, the capital structure of the Company at Admission will be as follows:
| Security | Minimum subscription (A$5mil) |
Maximum subscription (A$6mil) |

8.10 CHESS AND ISSUER SPONSORSHIP
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS. All trading on the ASX will be settled through CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Ltd ACN 008 504 532, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. On behalf of the Company, the Share Registry will operate an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together make up the Company's principal register of securities.
Under CHESS, the Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be sent to Shareholders as soon as practicable after allotment. Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company's Share Registry (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of existing Shares (where applicable) and the number of new Shares allotted under this Prospectus and provide details of a Shareholder's holder identification number (for Shareholders who elect to hold Shares on the CHESS sub-register) or Shareholder reference number (for Shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register).
127
Updated holding statements will also be sent to each Shareholder at the end of each month in which there is a transaction on their holding, as required by the Listing Rules.
8.11 ASX LISTING AND OFFICIAL QUOTATION
Within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will apply to ASX for admission to the Official List and for the Shares, including those offered by this Prospectus, to be granted for Official Quotation (apart from any Shares that may be designated by ASX as Restricted Securities).
If ASX does not grant permission for Official Quotation within four months after the date of this Prospectus (or within such longer period as may be permitted by ASIC) none of the Shares offered by this Prospectus will be allotted and issued. If no allotment and issue is made, all Application Monies will be refunded to Applicants (without interest) as soon as practicable.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus.
8.12 APPLICATION MONIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST
Application Monies will be held on trust for Applicants until the allotment of the Shares under the Public Offer. Any interest that accrues will be retained by the Company.
If the Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are not admitted to quotation within a period of four months from the date of this Prospectus, the Company will either repay the Application Monies (without interest) as soon as practicable to Applicants or issue a supplementary prospectus or replacement prospectus and allow Applicants one month to withdraw their Applications and have their Application Monies refunded to them (without interest).
8.13 ALLOCATION AND ISSUE OF SHARES
The Directors, in conjunction with the Lead Manager, will allocate Shares at their sole discretion with a view to ensuring an appropriate Shareholder base for the Company going forward.
There is no assurance that any Applicant will be allocated any Shares, or the number of Shares for which it has applied. The Company reserves the right to reject any Application or to issue a lesser number of Shares than those applied for. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.
Shares under the Public Offer are expected to be issued on 27 January 2021. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Shares issued under the Public Offer. Applicants who sell Shares before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.
8.14 RISKS
Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative and involves a number of risks inherent in the various business segments of the Company. Section 7 details the key risk factors which prospective investors should be aware of. It is recommended that prospective investors consider these risks carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Company.
This Prospectus should be read in its entirety as it provides information for prospective investors to decide whether to invest in the Company. If you have any questions about the desirability of, or procedure for, investing in the Company please contact your stockbroker, accountant or other independent adviser.
128
8.15 OVERSEAS APPLICANTS
No action has been taken to register or qualify the securities, or the Offers in any jurisdiction outside Australia or otherwise to permit a public offering of the securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia.
This Prospectus may not be released or distributed in the United States or elsewhere outside Australia, unless it has attached to it the selling restrictions applicable in the jurisdictions outside Australia, and may only be distributed to persons to whom the Offers may lawfully be made in accordance with the laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia, may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of those restrictions. Any failure to comply with the restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.
Potential investors should refer to the relevant warning statements below and under ‘Important Information’ on page ii of this Prospectus. Each Applicant warrants and represents that:
-
they are an Australian citizen or resident in Australia, at the time of the application and are not acting for the account or benefit of any person in the United States or any other foreign person; or
-
they are an overseas Applicant that complies with all laws of any country relevant to his or her application; and
-
they will not offer or sell the Shares in the United States or in any other jurisdiction outside Australia except in transactions exempt from registration under the US Securities Act 1933 as amended, and in compliance with all applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which the Shares are offered and sold.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of securities in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the securities may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia.
8.16 ESCROW ARRANGEMENTS
ASX will classify certain existing securities on issue in the Company as being subject to the Restricted Securities provisions of the Listing Rules. Restricted Securities would be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months and would not be able to be sold, mortgaged, pledged, assigned or transferred for that period without the prior approval of ASX. During the period in which these securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Shares may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of their Shares in a timely manner.
Prior to the Company's Shares being admitted to quotation on the ASX, the Company will enter into escrow deeds with the recipients of any Restricted Securities in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules, and the Company will announce to ASX full details (quantity and duration) of any securities required to be held in escrow. The Company has applied to ASX for a waiver of Listing Rule 9.1.3 (look through relief) to treat seed capital investors in Singular Health Pte. Ltd. as if they were seed capital investors in the Company.
As at the date of this Prospectus (assuming Maximum Subscription) the Company expects approximately 21,012,397 Shares, 15,500,000 Options and 8,100,000 Performance Rights to be subject to 24 months escrow and 33,567,973 Shares, 3,750,000 Options and 1,900,000 Performance Rights to be subject to escrow for 12 months or less.
129
