NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set our below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Star Combo Pharma Ltd and its subsidiaries.
(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board ("AASB") and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.
Compliance with IFRS
Australian Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRSs ensures that the financial report of Star Combo Pharma Ltd complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Comparative information and presentation
The Group presents reclassified comparative information, where required, for consistency with the current period's presentation. When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
(B) GROUP REORGANISATION
Star Combo Pharma Ltd (the Company) was incorporated on 4 November 2016. During January and February 2018, the shareholders of the Company, the Directors and management undertook a group reorganisation process, through which Star Combo Pharma Ltd became the legal parent of the following entities:
- Star Combo Australia Pty Ltd (acquired 25 January 2018)
- $\bullet$ CoStar Pharma Laboratory Pty Ltd (acquired 1 February 2018)
The reorganisation was made in connection with the upcoming initial public offering ('IPO') which was successfully completed on 16 May 2018. The reorganisation represents a business combination of entities or businesses under common control and therefore the requirements of AASB 3 Business Combinations do not apply.
The Directors have elected to account for the restructure as a capital re-organisation. In the Directors' judgement, the continuation of existing accounting values is consistent with the accounting that would have occurred if the assets and liabilities had already been included in a structure suitable to IPO, and most appropriately reflects the substance of the internal restructure.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
(B) GROUP REORGANISATION (CONTINUED)
Accordingly the consolidated financial report of Star Combo Pharma Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2018 has been presented as a continuation of the pre-existing accounting values of the assets and liabilities in the Star Combo Australia Pty Ltd consolidated financial statements and includes the results of the companies under common control, Star Combo Australia Pty Ltd and CoStar Pharma Laboratory Pty Ltd from 1 July 2017 to 25 January 2018, and the consolidated group under Star Combo Pharma Ltd from 25 January 2018 to 30 June 2018. The comparative information presented in the financial statements represents the financial position and financial performance of the companies under common control, Star Combo Australia Pty Ltd and CoStar Pharma Laboratory Pty Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2017. The difference between the cost of the transaction and the net assets of the companies under common control at the date of restructure of \$25,498,900 has been accounted for as a Group reorganisation reserve.
In adopting this approach, the Directors note that there is an alternative view that such a restructure should be accounted for as a business combination, which follows the legal structure of Star Combo Pharma Ltd being the acquirer. If this view were taken, the net assets of the entities under common control would have been uplifted to fair value, with consequent impacts on the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, and the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Directors did not consider that this treatment was reflective of the transaction.
(C) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company or which are subject to common control. Control is achieved when the Company:
- has power over the investee;
- $\bullet$ is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. $\bullet$
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over a subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group accounting policies.
(D) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the entity commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments 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.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
(D) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost. Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item 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.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
$(i)$ Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.
Financial liabilities $(ii)$
Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
(E) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Assets that are subject to depreciation (amortisation) are tested for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying amount may exceed its recoverable amount. An impairment charge is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Assets that suffer an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(F) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Group's functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
(G) GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.
(H)CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In the preparation of the financial report management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the bases of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is reviewed if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of this revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key estimates and judgements
Impairment - Intangibles
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating the conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-inuse calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. The directors do not consider any impairment should be recognised in respect of the recently acquired Living Healthy brand during the financial year based on future cash flow projections which have been discounted appropriately.
Provision for impairment of receivables
Included in trade receivables at the end of the reporting period are some receivables over 90 days from sales made to a number of customers during the current financial year. Management have estimated the provision for impairment of receivables based on payment and communication histories of these customers including records of payments received post balance date.
Group reorganisation
The Group undertook a capital reorganisation during the financial year. The critical judgements made in accounting for the Group reorganisation are disclosed in Note 1 (B) to the financial statements.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
(I) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not yet mandatory for 30 June 2018 reporting periods.
$(i)$ AASB 9 Financial Instruments (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, and revised requirements for financial instruments and hedge accounting.
The key changes include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront accounting for expected credit loss, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of the Standard, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective.
The Group has not yet started their assessment of the impact of AASB 9 on the financial statements.
$(ii)$ AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
AASB 15 will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption.
The Group has not yet started their assessment of the impact of AASB 15 on the financial statements.
$(iii)$ AASB 16 Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases.
The main changes introduced by the new Standard are as follows:
- recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets);
- depreciation of right-of-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or $\bullet$ loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components;
- inclusion of variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date;
- application of a practical expedient to permit a lessee to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account for all components as a lease; and
- inclusion of additional disclosure requirements.
The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application.
The Group has not yet started their assessment of the impact of AASB 16 on the financial statements.

Accounting policy
Sale of goods
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, the amount of revenue and costs incurred can be measured reliably, management have effectively ceased involvement of control over the goods sold and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, rebates and taxes paid.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.
Other income
Other income is recognised when the significant risks and rewards have transferred.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONTINUED)
Accounting policy
Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have formed a tax-consolidated group and are therefore taxed as a single entity from 1 February 2018. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Star Combo Pharma Ltd. The members of the tax-consolidated group are identified in Note 18. Tax expense, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the "separate taxpayer within group" approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.
Income tax
The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense.
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period. Current tax liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to the relevant taxation authority using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

| Opening balance as at 1 July | 261,588 | 213,641 |
| Charge for the year | 101,839 | 47,947 |
| Amounts written off | ||
| Closing balance as at 30 June | 363,427 | 261,588 |
The average credit period on sale of goods is 60 days. The Group generally recognises an allowance for doubtful debts for trade receivables if management forms an opinion that the receivable may not be recoverable.
In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the debtor from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the Group is familiar with the customer base.
Accounting policy
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any provision for doubtful debts.

Inventories recognised as an expense during the year ended 30 June 2018 amounted to \$6,340,286 (2017: \$5,719,506). A charge of \$23,424 was taken to provide for obsolete inventories during the year ended 30 June 2017. No further provision was necessary as at 30 June 2018.
Accounting policy
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on a first-in, first-out basis.

On 31 August 2017, Star Combo Australia Pty Ltd acquired the Living Healthy brand name and TGA Registrations for consideration of \$500,000, all of which had been settled by 30 June 2018. The total consideration of the \$500,000 was settled with \$450,000 in cash, with the balance of \$50,000 settled by issuance of 100,000 ordinary shares at \$0.50 per share. The remaining costs relate to expenditure incurred which was directly attributable to the cost of acquiring the brand.
Accounting policy
Brand names
Acquired brand names are recorded at historical cost. Brand names have an indefinite useful life as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows. They are assessed for impairment on an annual basis.
Impairment review
A comprehensive impairment review was conducted at 30 June 2018. The recoverable amount of indefinite life intangible assets was reviewed. The recoverable amount of the brand name is determined based on net present value of future cash inflows, using management budgets and forecasts for a five-year period, after adjusting for central overheads. Cash flows for the first 5 years are at growth rate of 10% based on the likely outcome of substantial marketing costs budgeted. Beyond 5 years are at growth rates of 4% which is similar to the long-term average growth rate for the industry in which the brand name is being operated. The discount rates used reflect specific risks relating to the relevant segments in which they operate. Any reasonable change to these key assumptions would not cause the carrying value of the brand name to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

Short-term employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group's obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. The Group's obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group's obligations for employees' annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.

Accounting policy (continued)
Long-term employee benefits
Provision is made for employees' long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurement for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The Group's obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018
NOTE 25 - CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Capital management
The Group's objectives when managing share capital, reserves and retained earnings, which represents the Group's capital, are to:
- Maintain a sustainable debt to equity ratio; $\bullet$
- Generating long-term shareholder value; and
- Ensure that the group can fund its future operations as a going concern. $\bullet$
The Group's potential debt and capital include ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.
Management effectively manages the Group's capital by assessing the Group's financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
Financial risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. There have been no substantive changes in the types of risk the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Board's objectives, policies and processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.
Credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counter parties. The class of assets described as "Trade and other receivables" is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.
The Group has no formal policy with regards to past due trade receivables and each receivable is evaluated individually by management. Jinxing (Star) Zhang is considered to be central to the Group's credit risk assessment and management procedures given his strong relationships with the customers of the Star Combo Group.
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash flows.
Market risk
$(i)$ Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. The Group is primarily exposed to this risk on cash and cash equivalents.
$(ii)$ Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when the future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. Foreign currency risk is managed by retaining majority of its cash and payables in Australian currency. Products sales are received in USD and RMB with short term credit terms.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
