Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Report HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019 CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The half yearly report of Skin Elements Limited (the Company, Group or Skin Elements) for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 28 February 2020.
The Company is a public company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose securities are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the director's report above.
(a) Basis of preparation
The principle accounting policies adopted for the preparation of interim financial report are set out below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented unless otherwise stated.
(i) Statement of compliance
This interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2019 has been prepared in accordance with accounting standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
This interim financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Company as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that this interim financial report be read in conjunction with the any public announcements made by Skin Elements Limited up to the date of this report in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
(ii) Basis of measurement and reporting convention
This interim financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical cost. The interim financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with the accounting policies adopted in the Company's last annual financial statements for year ended 30 June 2019 unless otherwise stated.
(b) Going Concern
For the half-year ended 31 December 2019 the Group recorded a loss of $1,108,530 (31 December 2018: $1,432,081 loss), a net working capital surplus of $133,199 (30 June 2019: surplus of $200,028) and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $244,387 (31 December 2018: $1,257,759).
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through issue of debt or equity, increasing revenues from sale of the Group's products and government R&D tax rebates to continue to fund its operational and marketing activities.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the entity's working capital requirements and as at the date of this report. Subsequent to year end the entity expects to receive additional funds by the placement of equity.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
- Positive cash flows from securing major distribution agreements;
- Funding to support working capital requirement;
- Will be able to raise additional equity to contribute to the Group's working capital position in the near term;
- The group expects to continue to receive the full support of its creditors;
- Non-call of amounts payable to related parties; and
- Ability to raise additional finance from debt or equity if and when required.
Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Report SKIN ELEMENTS LIMITED
financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
(c) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
(d) Estimates and judgements
The preparation of the interim financial report requires the use of accounting estimates and judgements which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. This note provides an overview of the areas that involve a degree of judgement or complexity in preparing the interim financial report. Facts and circumstances may come to light after the event which may have significantly varied the assessment used which result in a materially different value being recorded at the time of preparing these interim financial report.
(i) Impairment of assets
The Company assesses the impairment of assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the asset that may lead to impairment. The assessment of impairment is based on the best estimate of future cash flows available at the time of preparing the report. However, facts and circumstances may come to light in later periods which may change this assessment if these facts had be known at the time.
Due to sustained operating losses of the group, the Group has undertaken an impairment assessment of its Intangible assets in accordance with AASB136 Impairment of assets. The recoverable amount of Intangible assets is determined from a value in use model. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding the future forecast cashflows which takes into account discount rates, growth rates and direct costs during the period. As a result of the assessment no impairment loss was recognised for the period.
(ii) Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not considered probable that the Company will make taxable profits over the next 12 months. The Company will make a further assessment at the next reporting period.
(iii) Amortisation rates
The Company has assessed the effective life of its Soleo Organics and McArthur intangible assets taking into account sector practices, the expected product life cycle and its own internal knowledge of the sunscreen and skincare markets to determine an appropriate amortization rate. This rate is an estimate of what the Company anticipates the intangible will be able to generate future benefits from the production and sales of the product and this may differ from the future results. The directors will continue to assess the effective life at each date.
(iv) Share Based Payments
The Company has assessed the fair value of options using a Black Scholes Option Pricing model and the fair value of performance rights using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These models include a number of estimated inputs including the Company's volatility, the risk free-rate and an estimated share price of the Company's shares in the future. These inputs were considered be a reasonable basis available information at the time the valuations were undertaken but the outcome may be materially different if the Company had used other inputs.

Operating Segments – AASB 8 requires a management approach under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This is consistent to the approach used for the comparative period. Operating segments are reported in a uniform manner to which is internally provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors.
An operating segment is a component of the group that engages in business activity from which it may earn revenues or incur expenditure, including those that relate to transactions with other group components. Each operating segment's results are reviewed regularly by the Board to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
The Board monitors the operations of the Company based on two segments, operational and corporate. The financial results of each segments are reported to the board to assess the performance of the Group. The Board has determined that strategic decision making is facilitated by evaluation of the operations of the legal parent and subsidiary which represent the operational performance of the group's revenues and the research and development activities as well as the finance, treasury, compliance and funding elements of the Group.
(f) Impact of adoption of new accounting standards
The note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases where they are different to those applied in prior periods. .
Impact on the financial statements
AASB 16 Leases eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for leases currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead required an entity to bring most leases onto its Statement of Financial Position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its Statement of Financial Position for most leases. As at 1 July 2019 and 31 December 2019, the Company has identified one contact that would be classified as leases under the new standard being the lease of its office premises. Due to the short term and low value of this lease, the Company has applied the exemption and elected to recognise the lease payments in profit and loss on a straight line basis instead of applying the recognition and measurement requirements in AASB 16. As a result, the adoption of the standard has no material impact on the half-year financial report.
(g) New accounting standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Skin Elements Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Qualified conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Skin Elements Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear then ended, and notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, with the exception of the matter described in the Basis for qualified conclusion section, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for qualified conclusion
Included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019 is technology and formula Intangible assets of $8,799,721 as disclosed in note 9 and note 1(d)(i). Due to sustained operating losses, the Group has undertaken an impairment assessment of its Intangible in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of assets.
Due to the significant variability of the future cash flows of the asset, we were unable to satisfy ourselves as to the appropriateness and reliability of the forecast of future cash flows that was included in the impairment model. Therefore we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about the carrying value of the Intangible assets as at 31 December 2019.
Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the carrying value of the Intangible asset in the consolidated statement of financial position are necessary for the period ended 31 December 2019.
Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 (b) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
