C H A I R M A N ’ S   A D D R E S S  

Dear Shareholder, 

It is with great pleasure that I present to you this year’s annual report. I’d like to take this opportunity to 
extend  a  warm  welcome  to  all  the  new  shareholders  and  to  thank  our  existing  shareholders  for  their 
continued support. This year saw a number of institutional investors join the register, including leading US 
specialist biotech fund, Biotechnology Value Fund (‘BVF’), and well-known Australian institutional investors: 
Australian Ethical Investment, and Platinum Investment Management Limited.  

In addition to a strong institutional presence on the register, we have a highly supportive investor base, with 
many existing shareholders opting to participate in the Share Purchase Plan,  which closed post the year 
end. 

This  year  has  been  a  landmark  year  for  Actinogen  Medical  Limited  (‘Actinogen  Medical’  or  ‘the 
Company’). From the early research beginnings at Edinburgh University, in May 2017 we enrolled the first 
patient into XanADu, our Phase II clinical trial in Alzheimer’s disease, and now we are only months away 
from completing enrolment. 

We are enrolling patients into XanADu in line with our previously announced timelines and with  the latest 
addition of five new trial sites in the United States, we expect to complete enrolment  before the end of 
calendar year 2018. We eagerly await the opportunity to inform the market of this key milestone and to 
report the top line trial results in the second quarter of calendar 2019, less than 12 months from now. 

The  hypothesis  underpinning  the  development  of  Xanamem  is  that,  by  decreasing  excess  cortisol  (the 
“stress hormone”) in the brain, there should be an improvement in cognition in Alzheimer’s disease patients, 
and potentially other diseases.  There’s compelling research to support this hypothesis, and XanADu, our 
Phase II study is specifically designed to demonstrate this in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease.  

In  ongoing  support  of  the development  of  Xanamem,  independent research  published  during  the  year 
provided further endorsement of the cortisol hypothesis. Research by Wheelan et al. (2017) concluded that 
exposure to a period of stress in midlife results in cognitive decline in old age. These findings were supported 
in another recent study by Stuart et al. (2017), published in the esteemed scientific journal, Nature, which 
also  concluded  that  stress  may  worsen  cognitive  decline  with  age.  Both  studies,  performed  in  animal 
models  of  aging  and  Alzheimer’s,  demonstrate  that  an  increase  in  stress  hormones  is  associated  with 
cognitive decline. 

The latest round of capital raising that Actinogen Medical has just concluded, provided the Company with 
the opportunity to fund a significant acceleration in the development of Xanamem in Alzheimer’s disease, 
as well as other potential applications, in order to enhance the value of our lead compound. 

A number of new Xanamem studies have initiated or will do so before the end of calendar year 2018. These 
include  a  study  to  explore  the  safety  of  a  higher  dose  of  Xanamem  and  a  target  occupancy  study  to 
demonstrate the effect different doses of Xanamem have in the human brain. Additionally, the Company 
will undertake a series of additional animal toxicology studies, which will expand the growing data-set for 
Xanamem  and  substantially  value-add  to  the  Company’s  ongoing  plans  for  the  future  clinical 
development and commercialisation of Xanamem. 

Raised cortisol has also been associated with a number of diseases, offering the possibility for Xanamem to 
be used in the treatment and management of conditions other than only Alzheimer’s disease. A review is 
underway  on  the  potential  to  expand  Xanamem’s  development  and  use  in  cognitive  deficiency 
associated with various neurological and metabolic diseases.  Possible new indications include cognitive 
impairment  associated  with  diabetes,  Parkinson’s  disease,  epilepsy  and  schizophrenia,  amongst  others, 
and  we  look  forward  to  announcing  our  plans  on  the  development  of  Xanamem  beyond  Alzheimer’s 
disease. 

We cannot underestimate the achievements of the Company over this past year. At the end of financial 
year 2018, we had enrolled 116 patients into XanADu and we completed the independent Interim Analysis 
on the first 50 evaluable completed patients. The Interim Analysis was undertaken by an independent Data 

2 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ACTINOGEN MEDICAL LIMITED 
C H A I R M A N ’ S   A D D R E S S  

Safety  Monitoring  Board  (DSMB)  and  the  DSMB  recommended  the  study  continue  as  planned  without 
modification. Importantly, the Interim Analysis also reported no treatment-related serious adverse events in 
the trial.  

Never before has there been such an urgency to develop, and bring to  market,  a new therapy for the 
treatment  of  Alzheimer’s  disease.  This  year,  Alzheimer’s  disease  became  the  leading  cause  of  death  in 
Australian women and the second leading cause of death overall. The importance of the development of 
a  drug  such  as  Xanamem  cannot  be  overstated  as  it  is  imperative  to  find  a  new  treatment  for  this 
devastating disease.  I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our shareholders for their continued support 
of the Company’s endeavours.  

This financial year promises to be another year of significant milestones for the Company as we advance 
towards completion of XanADu and to reporting the top-line results in the second quarter of calendar year 
2019. Not only are we focused on completing the Phase II trial, but we are initiating further studies to ensure 
we  have  the  necessary  additional  data  in  place  to  advance  the  future  clinical  development  and 
commercialisation of Xanamem.  

We have an exceptionally busy and exciting year ahead. With the XanADu trial completion pending, we 
expect 2019 to be a particularly busy and fruitful year. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff 
and  partners  for  their  ongoing  hard  work  and  dedication,  and  to  my  fellow  Board  members  for  their 
commitment to Actinogen Medical.  

Yours faithfully,  

Dr Geoffrey Brooke

_____________________________________________________________ 

This  Corporate  Governance  Statement  (‘Statement’)  outlines  the  key  aspects  of  Actinogen  Medical 
Limited’s  (‘Actinogen  Medical’  or  ‘the  Company’)  governance  framework  and  main  governance 
practices.    The  Company’s  charters,  policies  and  procedures  are  regularly  reviewed  and  updated  to 
comply with law and best practice.  These charters and policies can be viewed on the Company’s website 
located at www.actinogen.com.au. 

This  Statement  is  structured  with  reference  to  the  Australian  Securities  Exchange  (‘ASX’)  Corporate 
Governance  Council’s  (‘the  Council’s’)  ‘Corporate  Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  3rd 
Edition’ (‘the Recommendations’). 

The  Board  of  Directors  has  adopted  the  Recommendations  to  the  extent  that  is  deemed  appropriate 
considering the current size and operations of the Company.  Therefore, considering the size and financial 
position of the Company, where the Board considers that the cost of implementing a Recommendation 
outweighs any potential benefits, those Recommendations have not been adopted.  

This Statement was approved by the Board of Directors and is current as at 29 August 2018. 

➢  Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

Roles of the Board & Management  
The Board is responsible for evaluating and setting the strategic direction for the Company, establishing 
goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.   

The Managing Director is responsible to the Board for the day-to-day management of the Company. 

The principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include, but are not limited to, the following:  

•  appointment, evaluation and, if necessary, removal of the Managing Director, any other Executive 
Directors, the Company Secretary and the Chief Financial Officer (if applicable) and approval of 
their remuneration;  

•  determining,  in  conjunction  with  management,  corporate  strategy,  objectives,  operations,  plans, 
and approving and appropriately monitoring plans, new investments, major capital and operating 
expenditures, capital management, acquisitions, divestitures and major funding activities;  

•  establishing appropriate levels of delegation to the Managing Director to allow the business to be 

managed efficiently;  

•  approval of remuneration methodologies and systems;  
•  monitoring  actual  performance  against  planned  performance  expectations  and  reviewing 
operating  information  at  a  requisite  level  to  understand  at  all  times  the  financial  and  operating 
conditions of the Company;  

•  monitoring the performance of senior management, including the implementation of strategy and 

• 

ensuring appropriate resources are available; 
identifying  areas  of  significant  business  risk  and  ensuring  that  the  Company  is  appropriately 
positioned to manage those risks;  

•  overseeing the management of safety, occupational health and environmental issues;  
• 

satisfying  itself  that  the  financial  statements  of  the  Company  fairly  and  accurately  set  out  the 
financial position and financial performance of the Company for the period under review;  
satisfying itself that there are appropriate reporting systems and controls in place to assure the Board 
that proper operational, financial, compliance, risk management and internal control processes are 
in place and functioning appropriately;  

• 

•  ensuring  that  appropriate  internal  and  external  audit  arrangements  are  in  place  and  operating 

effectively;  

•  authorising the issue of any shares, options, equity instruments or other securities within the constraints 

of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules; and  

•  ensuring that the Company acts legally and responsibly on all matters and assuring itself that the 
Company has adopted, and that its practice is consistent with, a number of guidelines including:

Subject to the specific authorities reserved to the Board under the Board Charter, the Board has delegated 
to the Managing Director responsibility for the management and operation of  Actinogen Medical.   The 
Managing Director is responsible for the day-to-day operations, financial performance and administration 
of Actinogen Medical within the powers authorised to him from time-to-time by the Board.  The Managing 
Director may make further delegation within the delegations specified by the Board and is accountable to 
the Board for the exercise of those delegated powers. Further details of Board responsibilities, objectives 
and structure are set out in the Board Charter on the Actinogen Medical website. 

Board Committees 
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to 
justify the formation of separate Committees at this time, including Audit, Risk, Remuneration or Nomination 
Committees, preferring at this stage, to manage the Company through the full Board of Directors. The Board 
assumes  the  responsibilities  normally  delegated  to  the  Audit,  Risk,  Remuneration  and  Nomination 
Committees. If the Company’s activities increase in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate 
Committees will be reviewed by the Board and implemented if appropriate. 

Board Appointments  
The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a Director or putting that 
person  forward  as  a  candidate  to  ensure  that  person  is  competent,  experienced,  and  would  not  be 
impaired in any way from undertaking the duties of Director.  The Company provides relevant information 
to shareholders for their consideration about the attributes of candidates together with whether the Board 
supports the appointment or re-election. The terms of the appointment of a  Director, Executive Director 
and senior executive are agreed upon and set out in writing at the time of appointment.  

The Company Secretary 
The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do 
with the proper functioning of the Board, including agendas, Board papers and minutes, advising the Board 
and its Committees  (as applicable) on governance matters,  monitoring that the  Board and Committee 
policies and procedures are followed, communication with regulatory bodies and the ASX and statutory 
and other filings. 

Diversity 
The Company has adopted a formal Diversity Policy with a particular focus on the representation of women 
at the senior level of the Company. At present, due to the size and scale of the Company, representation 
of  women  at  a  Board  level  has  not  yet  been  achieved;  however,  the  Company  remains  committed  to 
workplace diversity and representation of women at all levels of management.  

The  Company  is  currently  in  an  early  stage  of  its  development  and  given  that  it  currently  has  a  limited 
number of employees, the application of measurable objectives in relation to gender diversity, at various 
levels of the Company’s business, is not considered to be appropriate nor practical.  

The Board will review this position on an annual basis and will implement  measurable objectives as and 
when they deem the Company to require them.

_____________________________________________________________ 

The proportion of women in the Company as at 29 August 2018 is as follows: 

•  Women on the board: 0 of 4 (0%) 
•  Women in senior executive positions: 1 of 4 (25%)  
•  Women in the organisation: 4 of 11 (36%) 

The Company’s Diversity Policy is available on its website. 

Board and Management Performance Review 
On an annual basis, the Board conducts a review of its structure, composition and performance. The annual 
review includes consideration of the following measures: 

•  comparing the performance of the Board against the requirements of its Charter; 
•  assessing the performance of the Board over the previous 12 months having regard to the corporate 

strategies, operating plans and the annual budget; 
reviewing the Board’s interaction with management; 
reviewing the type and timing of information provided to the Board by management; 
reviewing management’s performance in assisting the Board to meet its objectives; and 
identifying any necessary or desirable improvements to the Board Charter. 

• 
• 
• 
• 

The method and scope of the performance evaluation is set by the Board and may include a Board self-
assessment checklist to be completed by each Director.  The Board may also use an independent adviser 
to assist in the review. 

The Chairman has primary responsibility for conducting performance appraisals of Non-Executive Directors, 
in conjunction with them, having particular regard to: 

•  contribution to Board discussion and function; 
•  degree of independence including relevance of any conflicts of interest; 
•  availability for and attendance at Board meetings and other relevant events; 
•  contribution to Company strategy; 
•  membership of and contribution to any Board committees; and 
• 

suitability to Board structure and composition. 

The  Board  conducts  an  annual  performance  assessment  of  the  Managing  Director  against  agreed  key 
performance  indicators.  Board  and  management  performance  reviews  were  conducted  during  the 
financial year in accordance with the above processes. 

Independent Advice  
Directors  have  a  right  of  access  to  all  Company  information  and  executives.    Directors  are  entitled,  in 
fulfilling  their  duties  and  responsibilities,  to  obtain  independent  professional  advice  on  any  matter 
connected  with  the  discharge  of  their  responsibilities,  with  prior  notice  to  the  Chairman,  at  Actinogen 
Medical’s expense. 

➢  Principle 2: Structure the board to add value 

Board Composition  
During the financial year and to the date of this report the Board was comprised of the following members: 

Dr Geoffrey Brooke 
Dr Bill Ketelbey 
Dr Jason Loveridge 
Dr George Morstyn 
Dr Anton Uvarov 

Non-Executive Chairman (appointed 1 March 2017);

_____________________________________________________________ 

The  Company  currently  has  one  Executive  Director,  the  Managing  Director,  and  three  Non-Executive 
Directors. The Board is currently comprised of a majority of independent Directors, being Dr Geoffrey Brooke 
(the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman) Dr Jason Loveridge and Dr George Morstyn. Actinogen Medical 
has  adopted  a  definition  of  'independence'  for  Directors  that  is  consistent  with  the  Recommendations. 
None  of  the  Directors  are  substantial  shareholders  in  the  Company  despite  holding  interests  in  the 
Company. 

Board Selection Process 
The Board considers that a diverse range of skills, backgrounds, knowledge and experience is required in 
order to effectively govern Actinogen Medical.  The Board believes that orderly succession and renewal 
contributes to strong corporate governance and is achieved by careful planning and continual review.  

The Board is responsible for the nomination and selection of  Directors.  The Directors review the size and 
composition of the Board regularly and at least once a year as part of the Board evaluation process.  The 
Board has a skills matrix covering the competencies and experience of each member.  When the need for 
a new Director is identified, the required experience and competencies of the new Director are defined in 
the context of this matrix and any gaps that may exist. 

Generally, a list of potential candidates is identified based on these skills required and other issues such as 
geographic location and diversity criteria.  Candidates are assessed against the required skills and on their 
qualifications, backgrounds and personal qualities.  In addition, candidates are sought who have a proven 
track record in creating security holder value and the required time to commit to the position. 

Induction of New Directors and Ongoing Development 
New Directors are issued with a formal Letter of Appointment that sets out the key terms and conditions of 
their appointment, including Director's duties, rights and responsibilities, the time commitment envisaged, 
and the Board's expectations regarding involvement with any Committee work. An induction program is in 
place and new Directors are encouraged to engage in professional development activities to develop 
and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as Directors effectively. 

➢  Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly 

The Company has implemented a Code of Conduct, which provides guidelines aimed at maintaining high 
ethical standards, corporate behaviour and accountability within the Company. 

All employees and Directors are expected to: 

respect the law and act in accordance with it; 

respect confidentiality and not misuse Company information, assets or facilities; 

• 
•  maintain high levels of professional conduct; 
• 
•  avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest; 
•  act in the best interests of shareholders; 
•  by their actions contribute to the Company’s reputation as a good corporate citizen which seeks 

the respect of the community and environment in which it operates; 

•  perform their duties in ways that minimise environmental impacts and maximise workplace safety; 
•  exercise fairness, courtesy, respect, consideration and sensitivity in all dealings within their workplace 

and with customers, suppliers and the public generally; and 

•  act with honesty, integrity, decency and responsibility at all times. 

An employee that breaches the Code of Conduct may face disciplinary action including, in the case of a 
serious breach, dismissal.  If an employee suspects that a breach of the Code of Conduct has occurred or 
will occur, he or she must report that breach to the Company Secretary.  If the suspected breach pertains 
to  the  Company  Secretary,  the  report  should  be  made  to  the  Chairman.  No  employee  will  be 
disadvantaged or prejudiced if he or she reports in good faith a suspected breach.  All reports will be acted 
upon and kept confidential.

_____________________________________________________________ 

➢  Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting 

The Board as a whole fulfills the functions normally delegated to the Audit Committee as detailed in the 
Audit Committee Charter. The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and 
the  appointment  of  a  new  external  auditor  when  any  vacancy  arises.    Candidates  for  the  position  of 
external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from the Company through the engagement 
period.  The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant to the Company’s 
business and circumstances.  The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by 
the Board.  

The Board receives regular reports from management and from external auditors.  It also meets with the 
external auditors as and when required. The external auditors attend Actinogen Medical's Annual General 
Meeting (‘AGM’) and are available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the conduct of 
the audit, preparation and content of the Independent Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted 
by the Company is in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the 
auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit. Prior approval of the Board must be gained for non-audit 
work to be performed by the external auditor.  There are qualitative limits on this non-audit work to ensure 
that the independence of the auditor is maintained.  

There is also a requirement that the Audit Partner responsible for the audit not perform in that role for more 
than five years. 

CEO & CFO Certifications 
The Board has received certifications from the CEO and CFO equivalent in connection with the financial 
statements  for  Actinogen  Medical  for  the  reporting  period.  The  certifications  state  that  the  declaration 
provided in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001as to the integrity of the financial 
statements  is  founded  on  a  sound  system  of  risk  management  and  internal  control  which  is  operating 
effectively. 

➢  Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure 

The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy which outlines the disclosure obligations of the Company 
as required under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.  The Policy is designed to ensure that 
procedures  are in  place  so  that  the  market  is  properly  informed  of  matters  which  may  have  a  material 
impact on the price at which Company securities are traded.   

The Board considers whether there are any matters requiring disclosure in respect of each and every item 
of business that it considers in its meetings.  Individual Directors are required to make such a consideration 
when they become aware of any information in the course of their duties as a Director of the Company. 

The Company is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and timely access to material information 
concerning the Company. 

The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for communicating with the 
ASX.  The Chairman, Managing Director and the Company Secretary are responsible for ensuring that: 

a)  Company announcements are made in a timely manner, that announcements are factual and do 
not  omit  any  material  information  required  to  be  disclosed  under  the  ASX  Listing  Rules  and 
Corporations Act 2001; and 

b)  Company announcements are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to 

assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions.

➢  Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders 

The Company recognises the value of providing current and relevant information to its shareholders. The 
Company respects the rights of its shareholders and to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights the 
Company is committed to: 

•  communicating  effectively  with  shareholders  through  releases  to  the  market  via  the  ASX,  the 
Company’s  website, information emailed or mailed to shareholders and the  General Meetings of 
the Company; 

•  giving  shareholders  ready  access  to  clear  and  understandable  information  about  the  Company; 

and 

•  making it easy for shareholders to participate in General Meetings of the Company. 

The  Company  also  makes  available  a  telephone  number  and  email  address  for  shareholders  to  make 
enquiries  of  the  Company.   These  contact  details  are  available  on  the  “Contact  Us”  page  of  the 
Company’s website. Shareholders may elect to, and are encouraged to, receive communications from 
Actinogen Medical and the Company’s securities registry electronically.  

The Company maintains information in relation to its Constitution, governance documents, Directors and 
senior  executives,  Board  and  Committee  Charters,  Annual  Reports  and  ASX  announcements  on  the 
Company’s website. 

➢  Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 

The Board is committed to the identification, assessment and management of risk throughout Actinogen 
Medical's business activities. The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s risk management 
and  internal  compliance  and  control  framework.  Responsibility  for  control  and  risk  management  is 
delegated  to  the  appropriate  level  of  management  within  the  Company  with  the  Managing  Director 
having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and internal compliance and control 
framework.   Actinogen Medical has established policies for the oversight and  management of  material 
business risks.  

Actinogen Medical's Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy recognises that risk 
management  is  an  essential  element  of  good  corporate  governance  and fundamental  in  achieving its 
strategic and operational objectives.  Risk management improves decision making, defines opportunities 
and mitigates material events that may impact security holder value. 

Actinogen  Medical  believes  that  explicit  and  effective  risk  management  is  a  source  of  insight  and 
competitive advantage.  To this end, Actinogen Medical is committed to the ongoing development of a 
strategic  and  consistent  enterprise  wide  risk  management  program,  underpinned  by  a  risk  conscious 
culture. 

Actinogen  Medical  accepts  that  risk  is  a  part  of  doing  business.    Therefore,  the  Company’s  Risk 
Management  and  Internal  Compliance  and  Control  Policy  is  not  designed  to  promote  risk  avoidance.  
Rather Actinogen Medical's approach is to create a risk conscious culture that encourages the systematic 
identification, management and control of risks whilst ensuring  it does not enter into unnecessary risks or 
enter into risks unknowingly. 

Actinogen Medical assesses its risks on a residual basis; that is, it evaluates the level of risk remaining and 
considering all the mitigation practices and controls.  Depending on the materiality of the risks, Actinogen 
Medical applies varying levels of management plans. 

The  Board  has  required  management  to  design  and  implement  a  risk  management  and  internal 
compliance and control system to manage Actinogen Medical's material business risks.  It receives regular 
reports on specific business areas where significant business risk or exposure may exist.  The Company faces 
risks inherent to its business, including economic risks, which may materially impact the Company’s ability 
to create or preserve value for security holders over the short, medium or long term.

_____________________________________________________________ 

The Company has in place policies and procedures, including a risk management framework (as described 
in the Company’s Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy), which is developed and 
updated to help manage these risks.  The Board does not consider that the Company currently has any 
material exposure to environmental or social sustainability risks. 

The Company’s process of risk management and internal compliance and control includes: 

• 

• 

identifying and measuring risks that might impact upon the achievement of the Company’s goals 
and objectives and monitoring the environment for emerging factors and trends that affect those 
risks; 
formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks and designing and implementing 
appropriate risk management policies and internal controls; and 

•  monitoring the performance of, and improving the effectiveness of, risk management systems and 
internal  compliance  and  controls,  including  regular  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  risk 
management and internal compliance and control. 

The Board reviews the Company’s risk management framework at least annually to ensure that it continues 
to  effectively  manage  risk.  Management  reports  to  the  Board  as  to  the  effectiveness  of  Actinogen 
Medical's management of its material business risks at each meeting. 

➢  Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

Actinogen Medical’s Remuneration Policy was designed to recognise the competitive environment within 
which Actinogen Medical operates and to emphasise the requirement to attract and retain a high caliber 
of expertise in order to achieve sustained improvement in Actinogen Medical’s performance.   

The overriding objective of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure that an individual’s remuneration package 
accurately reflects their experience, level of responsibility, individual performance and the performance of 
Actinogen Medical.   

The key principles are to: 

link executive reward with strategic goals and sustainable performance of Actinogen Medical; 
• 
•  apply challenging corporate and individual key performance indicators that focus on both short-

term and long-term outcomes; 

•  motivate and recognise superior performers with fair, consistent and competitive rewards; 
• 
• 
• 

remunerate fairly and competitively in order to attract and retain a high calibre of expertise; 
recognise capabilities and promote opportunities for career and professional development; and 
through employee ownership of Actinogen Medical shares, foster a partnership between employees 
and other security holders. 

The Board determines the Company’s remuneration policies and practices and assesses the necessary and 
desirable competencies of Board members.  The Board is responsible for evaluating Board performance, 
reviewing Board and management succession plans and determines remuneration packages for the CEO, 
Non-Executive Directors and senior management based on an annual review. 

Actinogen Medical’s executive remuneration policies and structures and details of remuneration paid to 
Directors are set out in the Remuneration Report. 

Non-Executive  Directors  receive  fees  (including  statutory  superannuation  where  applicable)  for  their 
services, the reimbursement of reasonable expenses and, in certain circumstances, options.  They do not 
receive  any  termination  or  retirement  benefits,  other  than  statutory  superannuation.  The  maximum 
aggregate remuneration approved by shareholders for Non-Executive Directors is $500,000 per annum.  The 
Directors set the individual Non-Executive Directors fees within the limit approved by shareholders. The total 
fees paid to Non-Executive Directors during the reporting period were $188,841. Refer to Section 4 of the 
Remuneration Report.

➢  OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

6. 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The principal activity of the Company during the year focussed on the development of Xanamem, a novel 
treatment  for  Alzheimer’s  disease  and  the  cognitive  deficiency  associated  with  other  neurological  and 
metabolic diseases.  

The  Company’s  drug  candidate,  Xanamem, has  been  specifically  designed  to  block  the  production  of 
cortisol in the brain.  Actinogen Medical is currently conducting  XanADu, an international  multi-site Phase II 
efficacy and safety trial of Xanamem in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease. Recruitment and treatment of 
patients started in 2017, with results expected between April and June 2019. 

7. 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Highlights for the Financial Year (and subsequent to year end) 

(i)  XanADu progress - Patient recruitment into XanADu trial continues in line with previously announced 

timelines; 

(ii)  Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) Interim Analysis of XanADu - Successful completion of XanADu 

Interim Analysis by DSMB with recommendation to continue the trial without modification; 

(iii)  Cortisol Hypothesis strengthened – Further compelling evidence published in support of the cortisol 

hypothesis; 

(iv)  Strengthened patent portfolio – Published patents now covering all major markets; 

(v)  Financial  Position  -  Well-funded  following  various  capital  raisings  including  Biotechnology  Value 

Fund (‘BVF’), Australian Ethical Investment, and Platinum Investment Management Limited; 

(vi)  Enhanced Board - Appointment of Dr George Morstyn to the Board; and 

(vii) Raising awareness of Actinogen Medical and Xanamem – With biotechs, researchers and investors. 

(i)  XanADu Progress 

XanADu, the Company’s Phase II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Xanamem in mild Alzheimer’s 
disease, enrolled the first patient in May 2017 and the priority for the 2018 financial year was to ensure that 
patient enrolment continued on target. Pleasingly, at the end of the financial year 116 patients had been 
enrolled and the trial is expected to enrol the final patient in the second quarter of the 2019 financial year. 
As projected, the top-line results are expected to read out in less than 12 months, between April and June 
2019. 

The first patient was treated in May 2017 at the study’s Central Coast Neurosciences Research site in New 
South Wales, Australia. This was followed soon after by the treatment of the first USA patient at the Atlanta 
Centre for Medical Research in Atlanta, Georgia, in June 2017.  

Building on these significant milestones, the Company continued to make steady progress with the trial and 
successfully recruited its first UK patient in mid-August, signalling the achievement of enrolment for the trial 
across all three of its geographic territories. The first patient completed the full 12-week treatment and the 
4-week  follow  up  in  early  September  2017,  reflecting  another  important  milestone  for  the  Company. 
Furthermore, in March 2018 XanADu passed the midway point in patient enrolment and the study continues 
on track with the last patient expected to be enrolled by quarter two of the 2019 financial year (October 
to December 2018). Top line results are expected by  quarter four of the 2019 financial year, less than 12 
months from now.

_____________________________________________________________ 

(ii)  Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) Interim Analysis of XanADu 

In November 2017, Actinogen Medical announced that it would commission an independent Data Safety 
Monitoring  Board  (DSMB)  to  undertake  an  Interim  Analysis  (IA)  on  the  first  50  patients  completing  the 
XanADu 12-week trial and 4-week follow up.  

The IA was undertaken on the first 50 evaluable completed patients in May 2018: the IA was on both safety 
and efficacy unblinded data.  An additional 37 patients’ safety data for those patients still ongoing in the 
study at the time, was also included in the IA.   

Based  on  their  analysis  and  review  of  the  study  data,  the  independent  DSMB  recommended  that  the 
XanADu study continue as planned without modification and, importantly, confirmed that no treatment-
related serious adverse events had been reported.  

The  positive  outcome  from  the  IA  supported  the  continuation  of  XanADu  in  Alzheimer’s  disease  and  the 
further development of Xanamem in other potential indications.  

The XanADu patient data remained blinded to the Company and to all non-DSMB personnel involved in 
the  clinical  study.  This  safeguarded  the  integrity  and  credibility  of  the  clinical  data  and  ensured  that  no 
potential biases were introduced into the study.  

(iii)  Cortisol Hypothesis 

A  number  of  new  independent  studies  published  during  the  year  lent  strong  support  to  the  Company’s 
cortisol hypothesis – the hypothesis underpinning Xanamem’s development. The hypothesis holds, that by 
reducing  cortisol  (the  “stress  hormone”)  in  the  brain,  the  cognitive  decline  associated  with  Alzheimer’s 
disease could be slowed, or even prevented. Two studies highlighted by the Company endorse the growing 
evidence  supporting  the  association  between  stress  and  age-related  cognitive  (learning  and  memory) 
decline. Both studies, performed in animal models of aging and Alzheimer’s, demonstrate that an increase 
in stress hormones is associated with cognitive decline. The research by Wheelan et al. (published in 2017) 
concluded that exposure to a period of stress in midlife results in cognitive decline in old age.  

These research findings were supported by another study by Stuart et al. (published in 2017) in the esteemed 
scientific  journal,  Nature,  that  also  concluded  that  stress  may  worsen  cognitive  decline  with  age.  These 
studies  provide  strong  validation  and  support  for  the  development  of  Xanamem,  which  is  specifically 
designed to block the production of the stress hormone, cortisol, in the brain. 

In the early development of Xanamem, Actinogen Medical demonstrated that blocking the production of 
cortisol in the brain significantly improved cognition. If the XanADu study in Alzheimer’s disease is able to 
replicate the results seen in these earlier studies, Xanamem could prove to be the most significant advance 
in decades in the management of this devastating disease.  

(iv)  Patent Portfolio 

The  Company  has  a  comprehensive  portfolio  of  patents  covering  Xanamem  and  its  use  in  Alzheimer’s 
disease and other neurological and metabolic diseases associated with chronically raised cortisol.  

During the year, the Company’s patent portfolio was further strengthened when the Canadian Intellectual 
Property Office granted a key patent for Xanamem. The Canadian patent represents the final major market 
patent to be granted for Xanamem.  

The Company now holds key patents for Xanamem in all major geographic markets, including the USA, UK, 
EU, Japan, China, Canada and Australia. These patents extend out to at least 2031, offering the Company 
strong composition of matter intellectual property protection.

(v)  Financial Position 

The Company’s financial year end position was substantially strengthened during the year, and subsequent 
to  year  end,  following  various  capital  raisings  that  brought  in  $14,636,150  during  the  year,  and  a  further 
$7,156,350 post year-end. Refer to the table below.  Additionally, the Company received  a research and 
development tax rebate of $1,214,754 that related to the prior year’s claim. 

(a)  Capital raising of $3,660,000 and $1,620,000 - December 2017 and January 2018, respectively 

The Company launched a successful and oversubscribed placement to raise $5,280,000 through the issue 
of 132 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.04 per share. The proceeds from the capital raising fully fund 
the completion of the XanADu trial.  

All shares were entitled to free attaching options on a 1:2 basis, exercisable at $0.06 each on or before 31 
March 2019 (Listed Placement Options), which were issued on 22 January 2018. Additionally, on the same 
basis  as  the  Listed  Placement  Options,  existing  shareholders  as  at  21  December  2017,  received  two  free 
loyalty bonus options for every 15 ordinary shares held (Listed Loyalty Options).  

(b)  Private Placement of $9,356,150 and $5,643,850 – May 2018 and July 2018, respectively 

In May 2018 and July 2018, Actinogen Medical secured a further combined total of $15,000,000 through an 
institutional  placement.  The  placement  received  strong  interest  from  institutional  investors,  with  specialist 
USA  biotech  investment  fund,  Biotechnology  Value  Fund  (‘BVF’),  taking  a  cornerstone  position  of  $10.5 
million alongside other leading Australian institutional investors: Australian Ethical Investment, and Platinum 
Investment Management Limited. 

The  shares  were  issued  in  two  tranches:  Tranche  1  issued  187,122,994  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  raising 
$9,356,150; and Tranche 2 issued 112,877,006 fully paid ordinary shares raising $5,643,850. The shares were 
issued  at  $0.05  per  share,  representing  a  13.4%  premium  to  the  5-day  volume  weighted  average  price 
(VWAP).

(c)  Share Purchase Plan raising $952,500 and Shortfall $560,000 – July 2018 

A  Share  Purchase  Plan  (‘SPP’)  was  launched  offering  existing  eligible  shareholders  the  opportunity  to 
purchase up to $15,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares at $0.05 per share. The SPP closed on 11 July 2018, 
raising a total of $952,500 from the issue of 19,050,000 fully paid ordinary shares. BVF and Australian Ethical 
Investment  elected  to  participate  in  the  SPP  Shortfall  which  raised  a  further  $560,000  from  the  issue  of 
11,200,000 fully paid ordinary shares.  

Following completion of the private placement and SPP, BVF is now the largest shareholder in Actinogen 
Medical holding 19.97% of the ordinary shares on issue.  

(d)  Total capital raised 

Total capital raised during the year of $14,636,150 plus capital raised subsequent to year-end of $7,156,350, 
brings the total combined capital raised to $21,792,500. The Company is also due to receive approximately 
$3,158,000 in other income which relates to the research and development rebate receivable recognised 
at year end. 

The funds raised will be deployed to advance the development plan of Xanamem (for details, see Outlook 
and Business Strategy in the Directors’ Report).  

(vi)  Board Changes 

Dr  Anton Uvarov stepped down from his role as  Non-Executive Director of the Company and Dr George 
Morstyn  was  appointed  to  the  Board  as  Non-Executive  Director.  Prior  to  joining  Actinogen  Medical,  Dr 
Morstyn  (MBBS, PhD, FRACP) was  Senior Vice President of Development and Chief Medical Officer at US 
biotech  giant,  Amgen  Inc.  and  brings  extensive  drug  development  experience,  having  developed  and 
launched a number of new drugs during his tenure.  

(vii)  Raising Awareness of Actinogen Medical and Xanamem  

Actinogen Medical continued to enhance its awareness  activities of the Company and Xanamem among 
the investor and scientific communities by attending and presenting at a number of conferences including; 
the  AC4R (Australasian Consortium of Centres for Clinical Cognitive Research)  Annual Scientific Meeting; 
the 8th Australian MicroCap Conference; BioShares Biotech 2017 Summit in Queenstown, New Zealand; JP 
Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco;  Australia Biotech Invest; BIO International in San Diego 
and  Boston;  the  Ausbiotech  National  Conference  and  the  17th  Alzheimer’s  Australia  Biennial  National 
Dementia Conference.  

Raising  awareness  of  Actinogen  Medical  and  Xanamem  among  the  biotechnology  and  investment 
communities forms a key  plank of the Company’s development strategy. Significant progress was made 
during  the  year  in  building  a  strong  profile  for  the  business  and  for  Xanamem  in  the  domestic  and 
international biotech and investment markets.

13.  SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS  

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year. 

14.  OUTLOOK & BUSINESS STRATEGY  

(i)  Completion of XanADu 

The highest priority for the Company over the 2019 financial year is the completion and data read-out of 
XanADu, the Company’s clinical trial of Xanamem in Alzheimer’s disease. Enrolment of patients into XanADu 
continues across all sites in the US, UK and  Australia. Five additional sites were added in the US, post the 
financial  year  end,  bringing  the  total  number  of  active  sites  to  25.  These  new  sites  are  expected  to 
accelerate patient recruitment and to ensure the achievement of full patient recruitment before the end 
of the 2018 calendar year.  

As at 29 August 2018, 79% of the total patient cohort have been enrolled into XanADu representing 138 of 
the 174 patients planned for the study. Importantly, most trial sites continue to make excellent progress in 
screening patients for the trial, reflecting a major positive lead indicator to future enrolment.  The Company 
anticipates  enrolling  the  final  patient  in  the  last  quarter  of  calendar  year  2018  and  commencing  data 
analysis in 2019. Top-line results are expected to be available in the second quarter of the 2019 calendar 
year, less than 12 months from now.  

These results will be pivotal in the Company’s  development  as they are expected to  establish the safety 
and efficacy of Xanamem in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and place the Company an important 
step closer to bringing to market a new and novel treatment for this devastating disease.  

(ii)  Clinical Development Program 

Following the successful completion of the recent capital raising, the Company announced a significant 
expansion of its Xanamem clinical development program. The funds will be used to undertake a number of 
important value adding studies to expand the growing data-set on Xanamem. 

The updated program will include: 

• 

• 

A Target Occupancy Study - a highly specialised study that aims to accurately demonstrate the effect 
different  doses  of  Xanamem  has  on  the  11B-HSD1  enzyme  in  the  human  brain.  This  is  the  enzyme 
responsible for the production of cortisol. The initial work on the Target Occupancy Study is already 
underway, with the results anticipated in the April to June 2019 quarter, in line with the expected top-
line results for XanADu; 

A Higher Dose Safety Study - to expand the safety data-set for Xanamem and allow for higher doses 
of  the  drug  to  be  used,  if  required,  including  in  non-Alzheimer’s  indications.  This  human  study  is 
expected to initiate in the second quarter of the 2019 financial year (October to December 2018); and

_____________________________________________________________ 

• 

Additional Safety Toxicology Studies  - to allow for longer treatment periods, as normally required by 
global regulatory authorities in the development of any drug. Likewise, these studies are expected to 
initiate in second quarter of the 2019 financial year. 

Additionally, multiple promising new clinical indications for Xanamem are under evaluation, to expand the 
market  potential  for  Xanamem  beyond  Alzheimer’s  disease.  These  indications  include  a  number  of 
conditions  considered  to  be  associated  with  cortisol  induced  cognitive  impairment,  such  as  diabetes, 
depression, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, as well as conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
and post myocardial infarction. Timing for the initiation of these studies is dependent on the outcome of an 
ongoing review of all potential indications that will complete within the next few months.  

(iii)  A landmark year for Actinogen Medical 

Financial  year  2019  is  expected  to  be  a  landmark  year  for  the  Company.  During  the  financial  year,  the 
Company expects that the XanADu study will read out top-line results and a number of new studies will be 
initiated, with some reporting out, as detailed above. Results from these studies will be pivotal in defining 
the effectiveness and safety of Xanamem in Alzheimer’s disease and form the foundation for the next stage 
of the Xanamem development program. They will also help establish the true value of the Company. We 
eagerly await these results. 

It is expected therefore that in the April to June 2019 quarter, data from key studies will become available 
that will substantially shape and value-add to the data package for Xanamem. 

(iv)  Continuing to raise awareness  

A further priority for the Company over the year is to continue to drive awareness of  Actinogen Medical 
and  Xanamem  to  ensure  that  the  biotech  and  pharmaceutical  industries  recognise  the  significant 
development progress of the drug and its future potential in treating this devastating disease.  

The  Company’s  executives  and  business  development  team  will  continue  to  participate  in  international 
biotech industry partnering conventions and events and take every opportunity to showcase the significant 
potential for Xanamem.  

Equally the Company will continue to raise awareness within the Alzheimer’s research community through 
presentation  and  publication  of  the  Xanamem  clinical  data.  Two  papers  have  been  accepted  for 
presentation at the prestigious international congress, Clinical Trials in Alzheimer’s Disease, in Barcelona in 
October 2018 – this includes an oral presentation by Professor Craig Ritchie on the excellent progress made 
to date with XanADu. The presentation will be particularly noteworthy as it will coincide closely with the last 
patient being enrolled into the study. 

(v) 

In Summary 

The Company is very excited about the anticipated positive progress expected with the development  of 
Xanamem  over  the  2019  financial  year.  We  look  forward  to  progressing  XanADu  and  the  expanded 
Xanamem development program over the 2019 financial year and to updating the market as the final data 
read-out approaches in less than 12 months from now. 

15.  LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 

Should any likely developments of the Company eventuate, this information will be made available to the 
market in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules.

INTRODUCTION 

The Remuneration Report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’) 
who  are  defined  as  those  having  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and  controlling  the 
major  activities  of  the  Company,  directly  or  indirectly,  including  any  Director  (whether  executive  or 
otherwise).    The  performance  of  the  Company  depends  upon  the  quality  of  its  KMP.    To  prosper,  the 
Company must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled Directors and Executives. 

The  Company’s  broad  remuneration  policy  is  to  ensure  the  remuneration  package  properly  reflects  the 
person’s  duties  and  responsibilities  and  that  remuneration  is  competitive  in  attracting,  retaining  and 
motivating people of the highest quality.   

The people considered to be KMP during the financial year were: 

There were no other changes to KMP after the reporting date and before the date that the financial report 
was authorised for issue.

REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE 

The  Board  has  not  established  a  separate  Remuneration  Committee  at  this  point  in  the  Company’s 
development  nor  has  the  Board  engaged  the  services  of  a  remuneration  consultant  to  provide 
recommendations  when  setting  the  remuneration  received  by  Directors.  Therefore,  remuneration  of 
Directors  is  currently  set  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  which  is  put  to  shareholders  at  the  Annual  General 
Meeting (‘AGM’). At the AGM held on 29 November 2017, Actinogen Medical received 99.6% of votes in 
favour of its Remuneration Report for the 2017 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific 
feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices. 

It is considered that the size of the Board, along with the level of activity of the Company, renders having a 
Remuneration Committee impractical and the full Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the 
Directors are responsible.  All matters of remuneration are done in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001 requirements, especially in respect of related party transactions. Refer to the Corporate Governance 
Statement for further information. 

3. 

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS 

(A) Remuneration principles and strategy 

The  Company  aims  to  reward  executives  with  a  level  and  mix  of  remuneration  commensurate  with  their 
position and responsibilities within the Company and aligned with market practice.  

Executive remuneration must be:  

•  aligned with the Company’s vision, values and overall business objectives; and 
•  must  be  designed  to  motivate  management  to  pursue  the  Company’s  long-term  growth  and 

success.  

The nature and amount of remuneration of executives is assessed on a periodic basis by the Board  (in the 
absence of a Remuneration Committee) for their approval, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum 
stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  high  performing  executives.  The  main  objectives  sought  when 
reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has: 

Executives who will create value for shareholders; 

•  coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain executives; 
• 
•  competitive remuneration offered benchmarked against the external market; and 
• 

fair and responsible rewards to executives having regard to the performance of the Company, the 
performance of the executives and the general pay environment. 

(B) Approach to setting remuneration 

The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration appropriate to their position 
and responsibilities, while being market competitive. The Company’s remuneration structure for Executives 
can include a mix of fixed remuneration, short term incentive (STI) and long-term incentive (LTI) as outlined 
below.  

Fixed remuneration component: 
Fixed  remuneration  is  represented  by  total  employment  cost  and  comprises  base  salary,  statutory 
superannuation  contributions  (where  applicable)  and  other  benefits.    It  is  paid  by  the  Company  to 
compensate fully for all requirements of the executive’s employment with reference to the market and the 
individual’s  role  and  experience.  It  is  subject  to  annual  review  considering  market  data  and  the 
performance  of  the  Company  and  individual.  The  Company  benchmarks  the  fixed  component  against 
appropriate market comparisons with the comparator group criteria being market capitalisation.

ACTINOGEN MEDICAL LIMITED 
D I R E C T O R S ’   R E P O R T  
_____________________________________________________________ 

STI component: 
The  STI  component  is  in  the  form  of  a  cash  bonus  to  executives  of  the  Company  (bonuses  are  also 
applicable to employees). Payment of the cash bonus is entirely discretionary and rewards the KMP for their 
contribution to achievement of business goals. The business goals are determined annually by the Board 
and are linked to the strategic and operational plans of the Company, including budgets agreed for each 
financial year.  

A  specific  STI  component  is  also  provided  for  within  the  Managing  Director’s  remuneration  package. 
Currently this includes a performance condition whereby at the annual review of the Managing Director’s 
salary, one of the factors to be considered by the Board when granting an increase will be the Company’s 
market  capitalisation  against  appropriate  ASX  benchmarks  with  an  aim  for  50th  percentile  pay  on  ASX 
market capitalisation. The Managing Director and the remainder of the Board will agree benchmarks for 
each year of the term.  

LTI component: 
The LTI component is in the form of Employee Options, Director Options and LTI Rights. The Board is of the 
opinion that the shares and options currently on issue provide a sufficient long-term incentive to align the 
goals of the KMP with those of the shareholders to maximise shareholder wealth. The Board will continue to 
monitor this policy to ensure that it is appropriate for the Company in future years. 

(C) Details of incentive plans  

(a)  Short Term Incentives (‘STIs’) 

Short Term Incentives (STI’s) are set each calendar year, with any unmet milestones expiring at the end of 
each  calendar  year  ending  31  December.  During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2018,  the  Board  of 
Directors put in place various STI’s, and when achieved, a cash bonus was paid out to the following KMPs: 

➢  Dr Ketelbey – Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer 

An  STI  was  put  in  place  for  the  achievement  of  a  number  of  various  short-term  performance  conditions 
being met during the calendar year including first patient enrolment, all study sites initiated, various number 
of  subjects  enrolled,  dose-escalation,  as  well  as  milestones  relating  to  investor  relations,  capital  raisings, 
business  development,  and  the  appointment  of  a  new  Chairman.  Dr  Ketelbey  met  a  certain  portion  of 
these milestones and was paid $48,450 on 22 February 2018. 

(b)  Long Term Incentives (‘LTI’s’) 

(i) 

Employee Options 

In  the  prior  year,  and  current  year,  remuneration  in  the  form  of  Employee  Options  were  granted  to 
employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s Employee Option Plan.

On 18 January 2018, at a General Meeting of Shareholders, remuneration in the form of 1,500,000 Director 
Options were approved and granted to Dr Morstyn as part of his appointment as Non-Executive Director 
on 1 December 2017. 

The key terms of the offer are outlined below: 

Entitlement: Each Option gives the holder (Option holder) the right to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary 
share in the Company (Share) upon exercise of the Option. 

Issue Price of Options: Options are issued for no consideration. 

Exercise  Price  and  Expiry  Date:  The  exercise  price  payable  upon  exercise  of  each  Option  is  $0.10,  on or 
before 1 December 2022. 

Vesting Conditions:

(b)  400,000 Options to vest two years after the date of appointment as a Non-Executive Director; and

In each case, subject to continuous service to the Company by Dr Morstyn as Non-Executive Director. While

of appointment as a Non-Executive Director, which is 1 December 2017.  

Due  to  the  vesting  conditions  attached  to  the  Director  Options,  they  have  been  independently  valued 
using  a  Black-Scholes  option  valuation  methodology,  whereby  the  total  share-based  payment  is  being 
expensed over the vesting period. Refer to Note 21: Share-based Payments for further information. 

Other terms: The rights, restrictions and obligations which apply to Options, including in relation to vesting,

(iii)  LTI Rights 

During  a  prior  year,  ended  30  June  2015,  45,000,000  shares,  which  are  considered  to  be  “in  substance 
options’ or rights (‘LTI Rights’) under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, were issued to various KMP 
at  the  time  by  way  of  provision  of  a  limited  recourse  loan  (subject  to  approval  at  an  Annual  General 
Meeting of shareholders on 19 November 2014). They were independently valued using the Black-Scholes 
option  valuation  methodology.  Due  to  the  vesting  conditions  attached  to  these  LTI  Rights,  they  are 
expensed over the vesting period. 

These LTI Rights were issued to the majority of KMP with performance conditions attached. The performance 
conditions  consist  of  a  number  of  Key  Performance  Indicators  (KPI’s)  covering  both  financial  and  non-
financial  measures  of  performance.  Typically  included  are  measures  such  as  contribution  to  research  & 
development success, share price appreciation and tenure. There is no expiry date on these vesting rights 
but there must be continuity of employment to receive the vesting benefits. 

The key terms of the Employee Share Plan and of each limited recourse loan provided under the Plan are 
as follows: 

(i)  the loan may only be applied towards the subscription price for the LTI Rights; 
(ii)  the loan will be interest free, provided that if the loan is not repaid by the repayment date set by the Board, 
the  loan  will  incur  interest  at  9%  per  annum  after  that  date  (which  will  accrue  on  a  daily  basis  and 
compound annually on the then outstanding loan balance);

D I R E C T O R S ’   R E P O R T  
_____________________________________________________________ 

(iii) by  signing  and  returning  a  limited  recourse  loan  application,  the  participants  of  the  Plan  (each  a 
Participant)  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  the  Loan  Shares  will  not  be  transferred,  encumbered, 
otherwise disposed of, or have a security interest granted over it, by or on behalf of the Participant until the 
loan is repaid in full to the Company; 

(iv) the Company has security over the Loan Shares as security for repayment of the loan; 
(v) the loan becomes repayable on the earliest of: 

a)  five years from the date on which the loan is advanced to the Participant; 
b)  one month after the Participant resigns or ceases to be employed by the Company other than: 

(i)  where the Participant is removed from office by shareholders of the Company, or  
(ii)  where the Company does not renew the Participant's executive employment agreement or 
(iii)  where the Company dismisses the Participant other than for cause; and 

c)  (by the legal personal representative of the Participant) six months after the Participant ceases to be 

an employee of the Company due to their death. 

Repayment Date: 
(vi) 

(vii) 

notwithstanding paragraph (v) above, the Participant may repay all or part of the loan at any time 
before the Repayment Date; and 
the loan will be limited recourse such that on the Repayment Date the repayment obligation under the 
limited recourse loan will be limited to the lesser of (i) the outstanding balance of the limited recourse 
loan and (ii) the market value of the shares on that date.  In addition, where the Participant has elected 
for the Loan Shares to be provided to the Company in full satisfaction of the loan, the Company must 
accept the Loan Shares as full settlement of the repayment obligation under the limited recourse loan. 

Vesting conditions:  

The Directors may issue the LTI Rights subject to vesting conditions (including performance milestones and 
time-based retention hurdles), such that the holder is only entitled to the benefit of the LTI Rights once the 
vesting conditions are met.  If the vesting conditions are not met, the holder will lose their entitlement to the 
LTI Rights and the Company may buy back or arrange for the sale of those LTI Rights. This enables the Board 
to attract, incentivise and retain key personnel and to align the interests of those personnel and shareholders 
through equity participation.  

Due  to  the  vesting  conditions  attached  to  the  LTI Rights,  they  have  been  independently  valued  using  a 
Black-Scholes methodology, whereby the total share-based payment is being expensed over the vesting 
period. Refer to Note 21: Share-based Payments for further information.  

Refer to the table below setting out the vesting conditions attached to the LTI Rights.

according to when the 5,000,000 Class F Rights were forfeited which was when the former director, Mr 
Rogers, resigned from the Company, this being 30 November 2016. 

As at 30 June 2018, Class I and Class J Rights remain unvested as the vesting condition has not yet been 
met  despite  the  share-based  payment  expense  against  these  Rights  being  fully  expensed  in  prior  years 
based on the expected vesting date at that time: 

(iv)  3,000,000  Class  I  Rights  were  fully  expensed  as  at  30  June  2015  despite  vesting  condition  remaining 

unmet; and  

(v)  3,000,000  Class  J  Rights  were  fully  expensed  as  at  30  June  2015  despite  vesting  condition  remaining

Additional disclosures relating to options  

Option holding of KMP 

At the date of this report, the unissued ordinary shares of Actinogen Medical under option carry no dividend 
or  voting  rights.  When  exercisable,  each  option  is  convertible  into  one  fully  paid  ordinary  share  of  the 
Company.   

Although Dr Anton Uvarov was a Director of the Company from 16 December 2013 through to 14 August 
2017, and therefore a KMP, he did not receive any options during his tenure and is therefore not disclosed 
in the following tables relating to options issued. 

Option holding of KMP as at 30 June 2018: 

(a)  As at 30 June 2018, Class I and Class J LTI Rights remain unvested as the vesting condition has not yet been met 
despite the share-based payment expense against these LTI Rights being fully expensed in prior years based on the 
expected vesting date at that time. 

(b)  George Morstyn commenced as Non-Executive Director on 1 December 2017. He was issued Director Options as

INDEMNIFICATION OF AUDITORS 

To the extent permitted by Law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Ernst & Young, as 
part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit 
(for an unspecified amount). No payment has been made to indemnify Ernst & Young during or since the 
financial year. 

17. 

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 

During the financial year, Actinogen Medical paid a premium to insure the Directors and officers of the 
Company.  The  liabilities  insured  are  legal  costs  that  may  be  incurred  in  defending  civil  or  criminal 
proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers in the Company, and 
any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings.  

This does not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers 
or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or 
someone else or to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between 
amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.  

18.  PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY 

No  person  has  applied  for  leave  of  Court,  under  section  237  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  to  bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is party 
for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of these proceedings. The 
Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year. 

19.  ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS 

The Company's operations are not subject to significant environmental regulation under the Australian 
Commonwealth or State law.

This financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity 
of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course 
of business.  

The Company has incurred a total comprehensive loss for the year ended 30 June 2018 of $6,230,609 
(30 June 2017: $3,190,338) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $7,911,052 
(30 June 2017: $1,108,799). 

In arriving at this position, the Directors have had regard for the fact that based on the matters noted 
below  the  Company  has,  or  in  the  Directors’  opinion  will  have  access  to,  sufficient  cash  to  fund 
administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of not less than 12 months from the date 
of this report. In forming this view the Directors have taken into consideration the following: 

• 

• 

• 

The  Company  has  $10,003,797  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents  as  at  30  June  2018  and  received 
proceeds  of  $7,156,350  subsequent  to  year  end  as  a  result  of  cash  received  from  share 
placements. The Company is listed on the ASX and therefore has access to the Australian equity 
capital markets.  Accordingly, the  Company considers it  maintains a reasonable  expectation  of 
being able to raise funding from the market as and when required, although it cannot determine 
in advance the terms upon which it may raise such funding.  

The Company is achieving key milestones with respect to its XanADu trial, an international multi-
site Phase II efficacy and safety trial of Xanamem, Actinogen Medical’s drug candidate that has 
been specifically designed to block the production of cortisol in the brain. This provides confidence 
for the Company’s prospects of generating positive cash flow from operations in the future. 

The Company will be submitting a claim for the Research & Development Tax Incentive in respect 
of the 2018 tax year. The Company is satisfied that it meets the criteria to qualify for a cash refund 
and  is  confident  the  expenditure  to  be  claimed  will  satisfy  the  tests  of  eligibility.  The  amount  of 
eligible expenditure in the 2018 financial year is estimated to be $7,259,769, and if approved, would 
lead  to  a  cash  refund  of  $3,158,000  which  has  been  recognised  in  the  current  year  financial 
statements. Refer to Note 6, Note 8 and Note 9.

(c)  Compliance with IFRS  

The financial statements of the Company also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

(d) 

Historical cost convention 

These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for 
available-for-sale financial investments which have been measured at fair value. 

(e)  Critical accounting estimates 

The preparation of financial statements 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 in Note 4. 

(f) 

Plant & equipment 

Each asset of plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment 
losses, if any. Assets are depreciated from the date the asset is ready for use.   

Items of plant and equipment are depreciated using the diminishing value method over their estimated 
useful lives to the Company. The depreciation rates used for each class of asset for the current period 
are as follows: 

Computer Equipment 
• 
•  General Pool Assets >$1,000 

25% to 66.67%   

37% 

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. The recoverable amount is assessed on the 
basis  of  expected  net  cash  flows  that  will  be  received  from  the  assets  continual  use  or  subsequent 
disposal.  The  expected  cash  flows  have  been  discounted  to  their  present  value  in  determining  the 
recoverable amount.   

An asset is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use 
or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between 
the  net  disposal  proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset)  is  included  in  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income when the asset is de-recognised. 

The  assets’  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  methods  of  depreciation  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if 
appropriate, at each balance date.    

(g) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

At each reporting date, the  Company reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether 
there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable 
amount  of  the  asset,  being  the  higher  of  the  asset’s  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use,  is 
compared  to  the  assets  carrying  value.  Any  excess  of the  assets  carrying  value  over its  recoverable 
amount is expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where it is not possible to estimate 
the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a 
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks 
specific to the asset. In determining fair value less cost to sell, recent market transactions are taken into 
account.  If  no  such  transactions  can  be  identified,  an  appropriate  valuation  model  is  used.  These 
calculations  are  corroborated  by  valuation  multiples,  quoted  share  prices  for  publicly  traded 
companies or other available fair value indicators. 

(h) 

 Intangible assets 

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible 
assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial

_________________________________________________________________ 

recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated 
impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not 
capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure 
is incurred. 

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.  Intangible assets with finite 
lives  are  amortised  over  the  useful economic  life  and  assessed  for  impairment  whenever  there is  an 
indication  that  the  intangible  asset  may  be  impaired.  The  amortisation  period  and  the  amortisation 
method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting 
period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic 
benefits  embodied  in  the  asset  are  considered  to  modify  the  amortisation  period  or  method,  as 
appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates and adjusted on a prospective basis. 
The  amortisation  expense  on  intangible  assets  with  finite  lives  is  recognised  in  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income. 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, 
either  individually  or  at  the  cash-generating  unit  level.  The  assessment  of  indefinite  life  is  reviewed 
annually  to  determine  whether  the  indefinite  life  continues  to  be  supportable.  If  not,  the  change  in 
useful  life  from  indefinite  to  finite  is  made  on  a  prospective  basis.  Gains  or  losses  arising  from 
derecognition  of  an  intangible  asset  are  measured  as  the  difference  between  the  net  disposal 
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive 
Income when the asset is derecognised. 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever 
there  is  an  indication  that  the  intangible  asset  may  be  impaired.  The  amortisation  period  and  the 
amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each financial year 
end. Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised 
and expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Intangible 
assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists and in the case of indefinite 
lived intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also 
examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis. 

(i)  Research and development costs 

Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the 
Company can demonstrate: 

• 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for 
use or sale 
Its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset 
How the asset will generate future economic benefits 
The availability of resources to complete the asset 
The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development 
The ability to use the intangible asset generated 

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less 
any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins 
when  development  is  complete  and  the  asset  is  available  for  use. It is  amortised  over  the  period  of 
expected future benefit. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually. 

The Company assessed whether the above criteria had been met for the financial year ended 30 June 
2018. The Company did not meet this criteria and as a consequence  all research and development 
costs were expensed to profit and loss for the current year.  

(ii) 

Intellectual property 

The  Company’s  intangible  assets  relate  to  intellectual  property  for  upfront  payments  to  purchase 
patents  and  licenses.  The  patents  and  licenses  have  been  granted  for  a  period  of  20  years  by  the 
relevant government agency with the option of renewal at  the end of this period.  As a result, those 
patents and licenses are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the patent patents and 
license. The remaining life of the patents and licenses is 13 years. Refer to Note 12.

_________________________________________________________________ 

(i) 

Income tax 

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-
assessable  or  disallowed  items.  It  is  calculated  using  the  tax  rates  that  have  been  enacted  or  are 
substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  accounted  for  using  the  liability  method  on  temporary  differences  arising 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.  
However, the deferred income tax from the initial recognition of an asset or liability,  in a transaction 
other than a business combination is not accounted for if it arises that at the time of the transaction 
affects either accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially 
enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the asset is realised or 
liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except where it 
relates  to  items  that  may  be  credited  directly  to  equity,  in  which  case  the  deferred  tax  is  adjusted 
directly against equity. 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. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax 
assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current 
tax  assets  and  tax  liabilities  are  offset  where  the  entity  has  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  and 
intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Current  and  deferred  tax  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  except  to  the  extent  that  it  relates  to  items 
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised 
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 

(j) 

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  discounted  using  the  interest  rate  on 
corporate bonds with terms to maturity approximating the terms of the liability. 

(k) 

Share-based payments 

The Company provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Company in the form of share-
based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over 
shares  (‘equity-settled  transactions’).  The  cost  of  these  equity-settled  transactions  with  employees  is 
measured  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.  The  fair  value  is 
determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. 

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

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting 
date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, 
in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the 
best  available  information  at  balance  date.  No  adjustment  is  made  for  the  likelihood  of  market 
performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of 
fair value at grant date. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only 
conditional upon a market condition.  Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it 
had  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  expense  not  yet  recognised  for  the  award  is 
recognised  immediately.  However,  if  a  new  award  is  substituted  for  the  cancelled  award;  and 
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are 
treated as if they were a modification of the original award.

_________________________________________________________________ 

(l) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

For the purpose of the  Statement of Cash Flows, cash  and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  bank  overdrafts  and  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. 

(m) 

Revenue recognition 

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

Interest revenue is recorded using the effective interest rate method (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly 
discounts  the  estimated  future  cash  payments  or  receipts  over  the  expected  life  of  the  financial 
instrument, or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or 
liability. Interest income is included in finance income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.  

Research and development tax rebates are treated as a government grant. Government grants are 
recognised  where  there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  the  grant  will  be  received  and  all  attached 
conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income 
on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.  

Investment income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment is established. 

(n)  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 ATO. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement 
of  Financial  Position  are  shown  inclusive  of  GST.  Cash  flows  are  presented in  the  Statement  of  Cash 
Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are 
disclosed as operating cash flows. 

(o)  Contributed equity 

Ordinary  issued  share  capital  is  recognised  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  by  the 
Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity 
as a reduction in share proceeds received. 

(p) 

Trade and other payables 

Liabilities  for  trade  creditors  and  other  amounts  are  carried  at  cost  which  is  the  fair  value  of  the 
consideration  to  be  paid in  the  future for  goods  and  services  received,  whether  or  not  billed  to  the 
Company.  Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis. 

(q) 

Provisions 

Provisions  for  legal  claims  and  make  good  obligations  are  recognised  when  the  Company  has  a 
present  legal  or  constructive  obligation  as  a  result  of  past  events,  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of 
resources  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation  and  the  amount  has  been  reliably  estimated. 
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. 

Where  there  are  a  number  of  similar  obligations,  the  likelihood  that  an  outflow  will  be  required  in 
settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised 
even  if  the  likelihood  of  an  outflow  with  respect  to  any  one  item  included  in  the  same  class  of 
obligations may be small. 

Provisions  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  management’s  best  estimate  of  the  expenditure 
required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the 
present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to 
the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

_________________________________________________________________ 

(r) 

Earnings per share 

(i) Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to  owners  of the  Company, 
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares 
issued during the year. 

(ii) Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to 
take  into  account  the  after  income  tax  effect  of  interest  and  other  financing  costs  associated  with 
dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that 
would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

(s) 

Trade receivables 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effect interest method, less allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due 
for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability  of  trade  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Debts  which  are  known  to  be 
uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision 
for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the  Company will 
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant 
financial  difficulties  of  the  debtor,  probability  that  the  debtor  will  enter  bankruptcy  or  financial 
reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered 
indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.  

The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and 
the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash 
flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. 

The  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  is recognised in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive Income  within 
impairment losses – financial assets. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance has 
been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance 
account.  Subsequent  recoveries  of  amounts  previously  written  off  are  credited  against  impairment 
losses – financial assets in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

(t) 

Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement 

(i) 

Financial assets 

Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, 
loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, AFS financial assets, or as derivatives designated 
as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial assets are recognised initially 
at  fair  value  plus,  in  the  case  of  financial  assets  not  recorded  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss, 
transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by 
regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, 
i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. 

Subsequent measurement 

• 

Loans and receivables 

This category is the most relevant to the Company. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial 
assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market.  After  initial 
measurement,  such  financial  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  EIR 
method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium

_________________________________________________________________ 

on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in 
finance income  in  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive Income.  The  losses  arising  from  impairment  are 
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in finance costs for loans and in cost of sales 
or  other  operating  expenses  for  receivables.  This  category  generally  applies  to  trade  and  other 
receivables. For more information on receivables, refer to Note 9. 

• 

AFS financial assets 

AFS financial assets include equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as AFS 
are those that are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss. 
Debt securities in this category are those that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time 
and that may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in market conditions. 
After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealised 
gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’) and credited to the AFS reserve until 
the  investment  is  derecognised,  at  which  time,  the  cumulative  gain  or  loss  is  recognised  in  other 
operating  income,  or  the  investment  is  determined  to  be  impaired,  when  the  cumulative  loss  is 
reclassified from the AFS reserve to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in finance costs. Interest 
earned whilst holding AFS financial assets is reported as interest income using the EIR method. Fair value 
is determined to be the quoted market price of the investment as at the reporting period end.  

The Company evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell its AFS financial assets in the near term 
is still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Company is unable to trade these financial assets 
due to inactive markets, the  Company may elect to reclassify these financial assets if management 
has the ability and intention to hold the assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity. 

For  a  financial  asset  reclassified  from  the  AFS  category,  the  fair  value  at  the  date  of  reclassification 
becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on the asset that has been recognised 
in  equity  is  amortised  to  profit  or  loss  over  the  remaining  life  of  the  investment  using  the  EIR.  Any 
difference  between  the  new  amortised  cost  and  the  maturity  amount  is  also  amortised  over  the 
remaining life of the asset using the EIR. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the 
amount recorded in equity is reclassified to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

Derecognition 
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial 
assets)  is  primarily  derecognised  (i.e.  removed  from  the  Company’s  Statement  of  Financial  Position) 
when:  

• 

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or the Company has transferred its 
rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash 
flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and  

•  either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the 
Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the  risks and rewards of the asset 
but has transferred control of the asset. 

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a 
pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of 
ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the 
asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to 
the  extent  of  its  continuing  involvement.  In  that  case,  the  Company  also  recognises  an  associated 
liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights 
and  obligations  that  the  Company  has  retained.  Continuing  involvement  that  takes  the  form  of  a 
guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the 
asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial 
asset  or  a  group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired.  An  impairment  exists  if  one  or  more  events  that  has 
occurred  since  the  initial  recognition  of  the  asset  (an  incurred  ‘loss  event’),  has  an  impact  on  the 
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably 
estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor or a group of debtors is

experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the 
probability  that  they  will  enter  bankruptcy  or  other  financial  reorganisation  and  observable  data 
indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in 
arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For  financial  assets  carried  at  amortised  cost,  the  Company  first  assesses  whether  impairment  exists 
individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are 
not individually significant. If the Company determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists 
for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of 
financial  assets  with  similar  credit  risk  characteristics  and  collectively  assesses  them  for  impairment. 
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to 
be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. 

The  amount  of  any  impairment  loss  identified  is  measured  as  the  difference  between  the  asset’s 
carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows  (excluding  future  expected 
credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is 
discounted at the financial asset’s original EIR. 

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss is 
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Interest income (recorded as finance income 
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income) continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount 
using  the  rate  of  interest  used  to  discount  the  future  cash  flows  for  the  purpose  of  measuring  the 
impairment loss.  

Loans,  together  with  the  associated  allowance  are  written  off  when  there is no  realistic  prospect  of 
future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Company. If, in a 
subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an 
event  occurring  after  the  impairment  was  recognised,  the  previously  recognised  impairment  loss  is 
increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery 
is credited to finance costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

• 

AFS financial assets 

For  AFS  financial  assets,  the  Company  assesses  at  each  reporting  date  whether  there  is  objective 
evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired. In the case of equity investments 
classified as AFS, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value 
of the investment below its cost. ‘Significant’ is evaluated against the original cost of the investment 
and ‘prolonged’ against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. When there 
is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition 
cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the 
Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  –  is  removed  from  OCI  and  recognised  in  the  Statement  of 
Comprehensive Income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss; 
increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised in OCI. 

The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgement. In making this judgement, 
the  Company  evaluates,  among  other  factors,  the  duration  or  extent  to  which  the  fair  value  of  an 
investment  is  less  than  its  cost.  In  the  case  of  debt  instruments  classified  as  AFS,  the  impairment  is 
assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. However, the amount 
recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortised cost 
and  the  current  fair  value,  less  any  impairment  loss  on  that  investment  previously  recognised  in  the 
Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset, 
using  the  rate  of  interest  used  to  discount  the  future  cash  flows  for  the  purpose  of  measuring  the 
impairment loss. The interest income is recorded as part of finance income. If, in a subsequent year, the 
fair  value  of  a  debt  instrument  increases  and  the  increase  can  be  objectively  related  to  an  event 
occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the  Statement of Comprehensive Income, the 
impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(ii) 

 Financial liabilities 

Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or 
loss,  loans  and  borrowings,  payables,  or  as  derivatives  designated  as  hedging  instruments  in  an 
effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the 
case  of  loans  and  borrowings  and  payables,  net  of  directly  attributable  transaction  costs.  The 
Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank 
overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments. 

The only financial liabilities the Company has are trade payables. Refer to Note 13 for more detail. 

Derecognition 
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or 
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially 
different  terms,  or  the  terms  of  an  existing  liability  are  substantially  modified,  such  an  exchange  or 
modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. 
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the  Statement of Comprehensive 
Income. 

(u) 

Segment reporting 

Operating segments  are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the 
chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating 
resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the  Board of 
Directors. 

(v) 

 New accounting standards and interpretations adopted  

The  financial  report  complies  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Since 1 July 
2017,  Actinogen  Medical  has  adopted  all  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretation,  mandatory  for 
annual periods beginning on or before 1 July 2017. 

Adoption of these new and amended Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant effect 
on the financial position or performance of Actinogen Medical. 

(w)  New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 
June 2018 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company. These new standards and 
interpretations, and the status of the Company’s assessment of impact on the Company, are set out below.

Financial 
Instruments 

AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.  
Except for certain trade receivables, an entity initially measures a financial asset 
at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit 
or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs.  
Debt  instruments  are  subsequently  measured  at  FVTPL,  amortised  cost,  or  fair 
value  through  other  comprehensive  income  (FVOCI),  on  the  basis  of  their 
contractual cash flows and the business model under which the debt instruments 
are held.  
There is a fair value option (FVO) that allows financial assets on initial recognition 
to be designated as FVTPL if that eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting 
mismatch.  
Equity  instruments  are  generally  measured  at  FVTPL.  However,  entities  have  an 
irrevocable option on an instrument-by-instrument basis to present changes in the

fair  value  of  non-trading  instruments  in  other  comprehensive  income  (OCI) 
without subsequent reclassification to profit or loss.  
For financial liabilities designated as FVTPL using the FVO, the amount of change 
in the fair value of such financial liabilities that is attributable to changes in credit 
risk  must  be  presented  in  OCI.  The  remainder  of  the  change  in  fair  value  is 
presented in profit or loss, unless presentation in OCI of the fair value change in 
respect  of  the  liability’s  credit  risk  would  create  or  enlarge  an  accounting 
mismatch in profit or loss.  
All  other  AASB  139  classification  and  measurement  requirements  for  financial 
liabilities  have  been  carried  forward  into  AASB  9,  including  the  embedded 
derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO.  
The incurred credit loss model in AASB 139 has been replaced with an expected 
credit loss model in AASB 9.  
The  requirements  for  hedge  accounting  have  been  amended  to  more  closely 
align hedge accounting with risk management, establish a more principle-based 
approach  to  hedge  accounting  and  address  inconsistencies  in  the  hedge 
accounting model in AASB 139.  

Current status of impact assessment: The Company’s only financial asset at the 
present time is the R&D Tax Rebate receivable with the ATO. Adoption of AASB9 
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s measurement or 
presentation of this financial asset. 

AASB  15  replaces  all  existing  revenue  requirements  in  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  (AASB  111  Construction  Contracts,  AASB  118  Revenue,  AASB 
Interpretation  13  Customer  Loyalty  Programmes,  AASB 
Interpretation  15 
Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, AASB Interpretation 18 Transfers 
of  Assets  from  Customers  and  AASB  Interpretation  131  Revenue  –  Barter 
Transactions Involving Advertising Services) and applies to all revenue arising from 
contracts with customers, unless the contracts are in the scope of other standards, 
such as AASB 117 Leases (or AASB 16 Leases, once applied).  
The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the 
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the 
consideration  to  which  an  entity  expects  to  be  entitled  in  exchange  for  those 
goods  or  services.  An  entity  recognises  revenue  in  accordance  with  the  core 
principle by applying the following steps:  
► Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer  
► Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract  
► Step 3: Determine the transaction price  
►  Step  4:  Allocate  the  transaction  price  to  the performance obligations in  the 
contract  
►  Step  5:  Recognise  revenue  when  (or  as)  the  entity  satisfies  a  performance 
obligation.  
Current status of impact assessment: The Company is currently in the early stages 
of the development of Xanamem and as such has not yet reached a stage where 
revenue  is  generated  from  commercial  operations.  As  a  consequence,  the 
Company  has  not  yet  performed  a  detailed  analysis  of  AASB15.  Preliminary 
considerations of the adoption of AASB15 is not expected to have any impact on 
the Company until it is generating operational revenue.  

AASB 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance 
sheet model in a similar way to finance leases under AASB 117 Leases. The 
standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ 
assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease 
term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will 
recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset 
representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the 
right-of-use asset).  
Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the 
lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.  
Lessees will be required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of 
certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease 
payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those

payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the 
remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.  
Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under 
AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification 
principle as in AASB 117 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating 
and finance leases.  
Current status of impact assessment: The Company has scheduled performing 
the impact assessment for AASB16, which becomes applicable from 1 July 2019, 
for the first half of the 2019 financial year. 

This Standard amends AASB 2 Share-based Payment, clarifying how to account 
for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments 
provide requirements on the accounting for:  
► The effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of 
cash-settled share-based payments  
► Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for 
withholding tax obligations  
► A modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that 
changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk,  (including interest rate risk and 
price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The  Company’s  overall risk in these areas is not significant enough to 
warrant  a  formalised  specific  risk  management  program.  Risk  management  is  carried  out  by  the  Board  of 
Directors in their day to day function as the overseers of the business.   

Set out below is an overview of the financial instruments held by the Company as at 30 June 2018:

Set out below is an overview of the financial instruments held by the Company as at 30 June 2017:  

(a)  Market Risk 

(i)  Price risk 

Equity price risk represents the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes 
in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual instrument or its issuer 
or factors affecting all instruments in the market.   

Equity price risk is minimised through ensuring that investment activities are undertaken in accordance with 
the Board’s established mandate limits and investment strategies. 

During the year the Company’s main equity price risk exposure related to the Company’s available-for-sale 
financial  assets  which comprised  of  various  ASX-listed  investments.  All  the  investment  assets  were  securities 
from  major  banks  and  were  considered  low  risk  investments,  and  during  the  year  the  Company  sold  it’s 
available-for-sale financial assets. 

(ii)  Interest rate risk 

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate 
as result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of 
financial assets and financial liabilities is as follows: 

Variable rate instruments:

Sensitivity analysis: 

(b)  Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual  obligations.  The  Company’s  main  credit  risk  exposure  relates  to  the  financial  assets  of  the 
Company,  which  comprise  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  trade  and  other  receivables.  The  Company’s 
exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to 
the carrying amount of these instruments.  

The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  included  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position  represents  the 
Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Company does not hold any credit 
derivatives to offset its credit exposure.  

The Company trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested 
nor is it the Company’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored 
on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company does not have a significant exposure to bad debts. The 
Company has the following concentrations of credit risk: 

(i)  Cash 

The  Directors  believe  that  there  is  negligible  credit  risk  with  the  Company’s  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  as 
funds are held at call with National Australia Bank, a reputable Australian Banking institution. 

(ii)  Trade and other receivables 

While the Company has policies in place to ensure that transactions with third parties have an appropriate 
credit history, the management of current and potential credit risk exposures is limited as far as is considered 
commercially appropriate. Up to the date of this report, the Board has placed no requirement for collateral 
on  existing  debtors.  This  is  because  the current Research  and  Development  Rebate  Receivable  is  with  the 
ATO, a reputable Australian government agency. 

(c) 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial liabilities as and when they fall 
due.  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.  

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Surplus funds 
are generally only invested at call or in bank bills that are highly liquid and with maturities of less than six months.

The Company does not have any financing arrangements. 

(ii)  Maturities of financial liabilities: 

The Company’s only debt relates to trade payables, where payments are generally due within 30 days. 

(d) 

Fair Value Measurements 

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement 
or for disclosure purposes. 

Accounting  standards  require  disclosure  of  fair  value  measurements  by  level  of  the  following  fair  value 
measurement hierarchy: 

(a)  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); 

(b)  inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 

either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and 

(c)  inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) 

(level 3).  

There were no financial assets and financial liabilities to measure and recognise at  fair value as at 30 June 
2018.  

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 
June 2017.  

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as available-for-sale securities) is based 
on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the 
Company is the current bid prices at the end of the financial year. These instruments are included in Level 1. 

The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  recorded  in  the  financial  statements 
approximates their respective fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed 
in Note 2.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 

• 

Key estimates: Impairment 

The  Company  assesses  impairment  of  all  assets  (including  intangible  assets)  at  each  reporting  date  by 
evaluating conditions specific to the Company and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. These 
include product, technology, economic and political environments and future expectations. If an impairment 
trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. 

• 

Key estimates: Share-based payments 

The Company initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based 
payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent 
on the terms and conditions of the grant.  

This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the 
expected  life  of  the  share  option,  volatility  and  dividend  yield  and  making  assumptions  about  them.  The 
assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in 
Note 21. 

• 

Key estimates: Going concern basis 

For further information on going concern basis refer to Note 2 (b). 

• 

Key estimates: Intangible Assets 

For further information on intangible assets refer to Note 2 (i). 

• 

Key Estimates: Research & development tax rebate 

In line with accounting policy (m) Revenue recognition, research & development tax rebates are treated as 
government grants and are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received 
and  all  attached  conditions  will  be  complied  with.  The  Company  applies  judgment  in  assessing  that  all 
attached conditions will be complied with based on the nature of the expenditure incurred and the activities 
of the Company undertaken during the year.

SEGMENT INFORMATION 

The Company’s sole operations are within the biotechnology industry within Australia. Given the nature of the 
Company,  its  size  and  current  operations,  the  Company’s  management  does  not  treat  any  part  of  the 
Company as a separate operating segment. Internal financial information used by the Company’s decision 
makers  is  presented  on  a  “whole  of  entity”  manner  without  dissemination  to  any  separately  identifiable 
segments.  

Accordingly, the financial information reported elsewhere in this financial report is representative of the nature 
and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it 
operates. All non-current assets are held in Australia and all revenue is derived in Australia.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

Movements during the year: 

Intellectual property totalling $4,489,953 comprises patents and licences initially acquired through Corticrine 
Limited.  On 8 December 2014,  Actinogen  Medical entered into an  Assignment of Licence  Agreement with 
Corticrine for the assignment of all of Corticrine’s interest in, to and under the Licence Agreement to Actinogen 
Medical and the assumption by the Company of all of Corticrine's obligations in respect of such Assignment.   

The intellectual property is supported by seven patent families, the most recent of which will expire in 2031. The 
patent  useful  life  has  been  aligned  to  the  patent  term  and  as  a  result,  those  patents  are  amortised  on  a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  period  of  the  patent.  The  Board  has  performed  various  internal  and  external 
assessments  of  potential  impairment  triggers  during  the  financial  year  and  have  concluded  there  was  no 
impairment. For further information refer to the accounting policy in Note 2.

During the year the following options were exercised or lapsed: 

(a)  400,000  options  were  forfeited  due  to  the  vesting  condition  of  achieving  a  target  of  65  patients  dosed  by  31 

December 2017 having not being achieved by their vesting date (31 December 2017). 

(b)  1,093,750 options were forfeited during the year due to an employee ceasing employment with the Company.  

No option holder has any right, by virtue of the option, to participate in any share issue of the Company or any 
related body corporate.  

(e)  Terms and Conditions of Issued Capital 

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to 
the number of shares held.  At shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll 
is called, otherwise each shareholder has a vote on a show of hands. Ordinary shares have no par value. 

(f)  Capital risk management 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, 
so it can provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The Company considers capital 
to consist of cash reserves on hand and available-for-sale listed investments. 

Consistent with the Company’s objective, it manages working capital by issuing new shares, investing in and 
selling assets, submitting Research and Development rebates from the Australian Tax Office or modifying its 
planned research and development program as required. 

Given  the  stage  of  the  Company’s  development  there  are  no formal  targets  set  for  return  on  capital.  The 
Company  is  not  subject  to  externally  imposed  capital  requirements.  The  net  equity  of  the  Company  is 
equivalent to capital.  Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the  ASX and receipt of Research 
and Development rebates from the Australian tax Office.

SHARE – BASED PAYMENTS 

The table below summarises the options on issue (including the LTI Rights that are in substance options) that had share-based payments applied as at 30 June 2018:  

(a)  LTI Rights 

During a prior year, ended 30 June 2015, 45,000,000 shares, which are considered to be “in substance options’ or rights (‘LTI Rights’) under Generally Accepted Accounting 
Principles, were issued to various KMP at the time by way of provision of a limited recourse loan. They were independently valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation 
methodology taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the LTI Rights were granted. Due to the vesting conditions attached to these LTI Rights, they are 
expensed over the vesting period. Refer to Section 3(C)(b) within the Remuneration Report for further information on vesting conditions. 

The approximate interest rate over a five year term was used.  The assumed dividend payable in the next five years was deemed to be  nil.  A  volatility of the share price 
fluctuation was calculated by considering the historical movement of the share price over period of time as well factoring market conditions of its competitors to predict the 
distribution of relative share performance. The exercise price of the share options is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The contractual 
term of the share options is five years and there are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Company does not have a past practice of cash settlement for 
these awards.  

The fair value of options granted during the prior year ended 30 June 2015 was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions: 

•  Dividend yield (%) nil 
• 
• 
• 
•  Weighted average share price ($) 0.04 

Expected volatility (%) 100 
Risk-free interest rate (%) 5.0% 
Expected life (years) 5.0

(i) 

The shares attached to the 5,000,000 Class F LTI Rights were cancelled by the Company during the year due to the vesting condition not being met. However, the 
share-based payment expense attached to these LTI Rights, were reversed in the prior year ending 30 June 2017 according to when the 5,000,000 Class F LTI Rights 
were forfeited which was when former director, Mr Rogers, resigned from the Company on 30 November 2016. 

(b)  Director Options 

(i)  Director Options issued to Dr Geoffrey Brooke 

5,000,000 Director options were granted to Dr Geoffrey Brooke as part of his appointment to the Board as Non-Executive Chairman.  These options over shares will vest over a 
period of three years subject to meeting various vesting conditions. Refer to Section 3(C)(b) within the Remuneration Report for further information on vesting conditions.  

The fair value of options granted have been valued using a Black-Scholes methodology, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were 
granted. The approximate interest rate over a five year term was used. The assumed dividend payable during the term of the Options is deemed to be nil. A volatility of the 
share price fluctuation was calculated by considering the historical movement of the share price over period of time as well factoring market conditions of its competitors to 
predict the distribution of relative share performance. The exercise price of the share options is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The 
contractual term of the share options is eight years and there are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Company does not have a past practice of cash 
settlement for these awards.

(ii)  Director Options issued to Dr George Morstyn 

1,500,000 Director options were granted to Dr George Morstyn as part of his appointment to the Board as Non-Executive Director.  These options over shares will vest over a 
period of three years subject to meeting various vesting conditions. Refer to Section 3(C)(b) within the Remuneration Report for further information on vesting conditions.  

The fair value of options granted have been valued using a Black-Scholes methodology, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were 
granted. The approximate interest rate over a five-year term was used. The assumed dividend payable during the term of the Options is deemed to be nil. A volatility of the 
share price fluctuation was calculated by considering the historical movement of the share price over period of time as well factoring market conditions of its competitors to 
predict the distribution of relative share performance. The exercise price of the share options is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The 
contractual term of the share options is five years and there are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Company does not have a past practice of cash 
settlement for these awards.

(c)  Employee Options 

Under the Employee Option Plan (approved by shareholders on 12 November 2015), awards are made to employees of the Company. The Plan awards are delivered in the 
form of options over shares. The fair value of share options granted have been valued using a Black-Scholes methodology, taking into account the terms and conditions upon 
which the share options were granted. Where vesting conditions are applicable, they are expensed over the vesting period. Refer to Section 3(C)(b) within the Remuneration 
Report for further information on vesting conditions. 

During the year and prior year, various issue of options to employees were made and are outlined below: 

(i)  4,950,000 Employee Options were granted on 23 January 2017 (Tranche 1); 
(ii)  417,188 Employee Options were granted on 12 July 2017 (Tranche 2); and 
(iii)  1,354,610 Employee Options were granted on 20 March 2018 (Tranche 3).

Employee Options granted on 12 July 2017 (Tranche 2) 

The approximate interest rate over a four year term was used. The assumed dividend payable during the term of the Options is deemed to be nil. A volatility of the share price 
fluctuation was calculated by considering the historical movement of the share price over period of time as well factoring market conditions of its competitors to predict the 
distribution of relative share performance. The exercise price of the share options is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The contractual 
term of the share options is four years and there are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Company does not have a past practice of cash settlement for 
these awards.  

The fair value of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2018 was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions: 

•  Dividend yield (%) nil 
• 
• 
• 

Expected volatility (%) 75% 
Risk-free interest rate (%) 2.29% 
Expected life (years) 4.0

Employee Options granted on 20 March 2018 (Tranche 3) 

The approximate interest rate over a three year term was used. The assumed dividend payable during the term of the Options is deemed to be nil. A volatility of the share 
price fluctuation was calculated by considering the historical movement of the share price over period of time as well factoring market conditions of its competitors to predict 
the distribution of relative share performance. The exercise price of the share options is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The contractual 
term of the share options is four years and there are no cash settlement alternatives for the employees. The Company does not have a past practice of cash settlement for 
these awards. 

The fair value of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2018 was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions: 

•  Dividend yield (%) nil 
• 
• 
• 

Expected volatility (%) 65% 
Risk-free interest rate (%) 2.101% 
Expected life (years) 3.0

Independent auditor's report to the members of Actinogen Medical 
Limited 

Report on the audit of the financial report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Actinogen Medical Limited (the Company), which comprises the 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of comprehensive income, statement 
of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration of the 
Company. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including: 

a) 

giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and 

b) 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting 
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the 
Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our opinion. 

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter 
is provided in that context. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters 
to be communicated in our report. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial 
report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the 
performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement 
of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to 
address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

1.  Research and development rebate 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

The Company has lodged a claim with the Australian Taxation 
Office (ATO) for a rebate of eligible Research & Development 
(R&D) expenditure (R&D rebate program) relating to its 
ongoing research activities for the development of Xanamem. 

Included in trade and other receivables on the Statement of 
Financial Position is an amount for $3.16 million related to the 
R&D rebate calculated for the year ended 30 June 2018.  

Due to judgment involved in determining whether expenditure 
incurred in R&D activities meets the eligibility criteria to qualify 
for inclusion in the R&D rebate calculation and the significance 
of this source of cash inflow for the Company, we considered 
this to be a key audit matter. Refer to Note 9 to the financial 
report. 

2.  Intangible assets  

We involved our R&D taxation specialists to assess the 
appropriateness of the R&D rebate calculated by the 
Company’s third party expert.  

We evaluated the qualifications, competency and objectivity of 
the Company’s third party expert. 

We assessed the Company’s accounting treatment of the R&D 
rebate under Australian Accounting Standard - AASB 120 
Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of 
Government Assistance. 

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Included in the Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 
2018 is an amount for $4.49 million relating to intangible 
assets which consists of patents and licences. This amount 
represents 26% of total assets.  

Due to the significance to the Company’s financial report and 
level of judgment involved in assessing whether there are 
indicators of impairment present, we consider this to be a key 
audit matter. Refer to Note 12 to the financial report. 

We evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s judgment 
and conclusion that there were no impairment indicators 
present as at 30 June 2018. In doing so, we examined the 
patent and license agreement, considered internal and 
external impairment factors and assessed the appropriateness 
of the amortisation period of the patents and licences pursuant 
to the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.  

3. Share based payments  

Why significant 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

During the year ended 30 June 2018, The Company issued the 
following options: 
•  1,771,198 options to employees of the company; and 
•  1,500,000 options to a non-executive director of the 

We assessed the assumptions used in the Company’s 
calculation including the share price of the underlying equity, 
interest rate, volatility, time to maturity (expected life), grant 
date and granting criteria. We involved our valuation 
specialists in performing these procedures.  

We assessed the adequacy of the share based payment 
disclosure in the financial report.  

company. 

Under Australian Accounting Standards, equity settled awards 
are measured at fair value on grant date taking into 
consideration the probability of the vesting conditions 
attached. This amount is recognised as an expense over the 
relevant vesting period. 

Due to the complex and judgmental estimates used in 
determining the valuation of the share based payments, we 
consider the Company’s calculation of the share based 
payment expense to be a key audit matter. Refer to Note 21 to 
the financial report for details.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report, but does not include the financial report and our 
auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and 
our related assurance opinion. 

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.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease 
operations, or have 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. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or 
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. 

• 

• 

• 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If 
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue 
as a going concern. 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should 
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be 
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the audit of the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 23 to 38 of the directors' report for the year 
ended 30 June 2018. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with 
section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
