Off the back of this effort, just after year end, we successfully completed a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors as well as a share purchase plan with existing shareholders raising $4.73 million for manufacturing and preclinical studies of our lead candidate, AD-214.When AdAlta listed in 2016, we made clear our objective to partner our i-body platform to generate early revenues. We listed with an i-body demonstrated as a CXCR4 antagonist and chose to focus on Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, which is a rare disease with high unmet patient need and a disease area with a precedent of early stage agreements.In line with this objective, one of the most commercially significant activities to occur throughout the year was the redesign of what was our lead candidate, AD-114, into what is now an Fc-fusion molecule that we’ve called AD-214. With AD-214, we now have a more potent therapeutic with a longer half-life for less frequent dosing – and ultimately a more attractive product for potential pharmaceutical partners.We have been able to apply to AD-214 all the preclinical work undertaken prior to the redesign and, importantly, we carried over our Orphan Drug status with the US FDA. This is important because in February we announced the peer reviewed publication of our data which showed that CXCR4 is an important alternative target for treating IPF and fibrotic diseases, and that our i-body molecule selectively blocks migration of some of the cells implicated in fibrosis without impacting healthy tissue. This data was published in Scientific Reports, a prestigious journal from the publishers of Nature, giving further weight to the credibility of AdAlta’s i-body as a therapeutic.While the two marketed treatments Nintedanib and Pirfenidone provide relief for some IPF patients, not all can tolerate the side effects nor respond to these available treatments, making further treatment options greatly needed. Later in this report, we set out the competitive landscape for IPF treatments in more detail. Unlike other disease areas, the drug development field for IPF treatments is small, and with drugs being partnered either during or at the end of Phase 1, companies developing drugs in this space can deliver short term returns to investors.Reflecting now on the landscape in which AdAlta operates, we were very interested to see next generation antibody developer Ablynx Inc acquired by pharmaceutical giant Sanofi for EUR 3.9 billion. While more clinically advanced with a number of partnerships, Ablynx has perhaps the closest technology to AdAlta at the platform level, so this acquisition sets the vision for where we think our next generation antibody technology – our i-body platform could take us, and further validates the Company’s business objectives.On behalf of the Board, sincere thanks to all investors who have supported us through the last 12 months, and thanks also to our CEO and Managing Director Sam Cobb and the team for their tireless efforts throughout the year. We expect the upcoming year to continue to deliver strong results and growth for AdAlta and its investors.Paul MacLemanChairmanAdAlta Limited Annual Report 20185DIRECTORS’ REPORT The Directors of AdAlta Limited (“AdAlta” or “the Company”) submit herewith the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

AdAlta Limited Annual Report 2018 8 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWSummary of principal activitiesThe principal focus for AdAlta Limited (ASX: 1AD) during the reporting period was to continue to advance its lead i-body toward the clinic for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. I-bodies are a new class of small, targeted, fully-human protein treatments which are being used to make medicines for hard to treat diseases. During the year, AdAlta significantly improved the design of its lead candidate AD-114 by fusing two i-bodies to the Fc fragment of an antibody, a process known as Fc-fusion. This redesigned molecule, called AD-214, has demonstrated significantly increased potency and greater half-life, or time that it remains in the body compared to the original molecule.While the primary focus of AdAlta is taking its improved lead candidate through to a Phase 1 human clinical trial, AdAlta is also looking to expand its pipeline of i-body candidates. This will involve using the Company’s novel platform technology to identify unique binders to drug targets that have proven difficult for currently available therapeutics. StrategyAdAlta Limited intends to further develop its novel i-body platform with a focus on its lead candidate AD-214, a first-in class treatment for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and other fibrotic diseases for which current therapies are sub-optimal and there is a high unmet medical need. AdAlta is undertaking the manufacturing of AD-214 in order to complete a four week non-human primate study, which will be followed by first in man studies to evaluate the drug’s safety. AD-214 could have applications in the treatment of fibrotic diseases beyond IPF. During the last twelve months the Company has explored the wider applicability of its lead i-body in several animal models of disease and with human tissues, demonstrating the broad anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects in models of lung, eye, liver, skin and kidney fibrosis.In conjunction with work on AD-214, the Company also plans to continue further drug discovery and development, using its i-body technology platform to identify other drug targets and diseases. This work is being completed at La Trobe University and directed by AdAlta’s Chief Scientific Officer, Mick Foley. The pipeline of i-bodies being developed are focusing on difficult targets, including other G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) and ion channel targets. AdAlta’s focus is to “drug these undruggable targets” with the i-body platform.AdAlta Limited Annual Report 20189FINANCIAL YEAR 2018 – A YEAR OF ADVANCEMENT FOR OUR LEAD I-BODY Overview and market conditions Introducing AD-214 During the past year AdAlta has made significant improvements to its lead i-body candidate, AD-114, resulting in a second- generation lead candidate called AD-214. The new i-body has been designed as an Fc-fusion protein with two AD-114 i-body molecules at the front end that bind with high affinity to the human target, CXCR4. The presence of two i-bodies now, instead of one, works to increase the potency of AdAlta’s lead i-body candidate. At the back end of AD-214 is the Fc fragment or tail region of a traditional monoclonal antibody, which works to increase the half-life of the fused protein, thus decreasing the required frequency of dosing. Due to the injected nature of Fc-fusion protein and the chronic nature of fibrotic diseases, a decreased dosing frequency is a significantly more desirable outcome for patients and physicians, leading to better patient compliance. The structure of AD-214 is further outlined below: The two AD-114 i-body molecules positioned at the front of AD-214 have not been modified. They have only been joined through the addition of an Fc fragment, enabling AdAlta to make use of the existing strong preclinical package which was developed for AD-114, while also retaining FDA orphan drug status for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The therapeutic benefits of AD-214 for patients and physicians along with the Company’s ability to leverage work completed to date make AD-214 more attractive to partners, particularly given the strong commercial precedent of mainstream drugs which are currently being manufactured and marketed using the Fc-Fusion route. AdAlta Limited Annual Report 2018 10 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis – a large market with high unmet medical need AdAlta is developing its improved lead candidate, AD-214, for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a condition of unknown origin, which causes significant scarring of the lungs that manifests in severe breathing difficulties. Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a chronic and ultimately fatal disease. IPF is categorized as a rare disease but each year still affects an estimated: • 135,000 people in the United States (US), with about 48,000 new cases being diagnosed annually. In the US 50,000 people die each year from IPF; the same mortality rate as breast cancer; • 100,000 people in Europe; and • 10,000 people in Australia. Japan EU US The treatment of IPF was greatly improved in 2014 with the United States FDA approval of two anti-fibrotic agents – Pirfenidone (Esbriet) and Nintedanib (Ofev). Despite differing modes of action, Pirfenidone and Nintedanib are deemed by respiratory clinicians to be equally effective, with both compounds slowing the reduction in lung volume that is characteristic in IPF patients albeit with substantial side effects. In 2015, sales of these two drugs were approximately $900 million and by 2025 this market is expected to grow to $3.2 billion (Global Data IPF Forecast 2016). These compounds only slow the progression of the disease, they do not act as a cure and cannot halt or reverse the decline in lung function, with the median survival from diagnosis only 2-3 years (Ley et al. Respir Crit Care Med. 2011). There is therefore still a significant, unmet need for new therapeutics to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. AdAlta Limited Annual Report 2018 11 IPF programs are attracting deals early in the development pathway The significant value in therapeutics to treat Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis has been demonstrated by a series of early stage licensing deals, as outlined below. These transactions involved a combination of upfront payments, milestones and royalties, and highlight the established attractiveness of IPF programs to pharmaceutical companies such as Roche and Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS). Comparable transactions confirm that big pharma are actively acquiring fibrosis assets at an early stage – typically based on Phase I results. These are detailed in the table below: Date Company Target Acquired by Deal value (US$) Deal commentary SEP – 15 Adheron Therapeutics SDP051 Roche $105M upfront, plus $475M in milestones SDP-51 at end of Phase I for IPF AUG – 15 Promedior PRM-151 BMS $150m upfront + $1.25B Phase II IPF and myelofibrosis NOV – 14 Galecto Biotech AB AUG – 14 Intermune JUN – 13 MicroDose Therapeutx TD139 BMS $444M Option to acquire at end of clinical POC (no later than 60 days following Ph 1b for IPF completion) Esbriet / Pirfenidone MMI0100 Roche $8.3B Approval in Europe / Japan, phase III in the US Teva Pharmaceuticals $40M upfront $125M milestones MMI0100 was in pre-clinical development MAR – 12 Stromedix STX100 Biogen Idec JUL – 11 Amira / BMS BMS- 986020 BMS $75M upfront $487.5M milestones $325M upfront $150M milestones End of phase I for IPF End of phase I for IPF There are several companies that have generated clinical readouts from Phase II studies, demonstrating significant market uplift in value with the completion of both small Phase IIa studies (23 IPF patients) and a larger Phase IIb study (104 IPF patients). Significant milestones achieved during the reporting period Engagement of manufacturing partners for AD-214 AdAlta is focused on expediting the development of AD-214 into the clinic and has completed the critical step of engaging partners for its manufacture. The use of Fc-fusion technology for AD-214 requires an alternate manufacturing process to the first generation i-body, AD-114. During the period, AdAlta engaged two partners for the manufacture of AD-214: Selexis SA, for cell line development, and KBI Biopharma, for process development, analytical development, formulation development and clinical manufacturing services. Selexis SA and KBI Pharma are owned by the same parent company and have worked together on the development of several Fc-Fusion products. AdAlta Limited Annual Report 2018 12 The appointment of Selexis SA and KBI Biopharma was the result of a substantial tender process led by AdAlta Chief Operating Officer, Dallas Hartman, who has significant experience manufacturing drugs designed using the Fc-Fusion process. Selexis SA and KBI Biopharma have extensive experience and expertise in the development of manufacturing processes for biological compounds including specific development of Fc-fusion proteins. Following appointment, Selexis has initiated cell line development and AdAlta expects to receive material for the four-week non-human primate toxicology study in the second half of 2019. Publication of data AdAlta published a data set in February 2018 pertaining to its lead i-body candidate in the peer-reviewed journal, Scientific Reports, from the publishers of Nature. The publication, which utilised samples taken from patients with IPF, demonstrated that the i-body target, CXCR4, is more highly expressed in IPF lung tissue compared to normal tissue and that the i-body slows the migration of diseased fibroblasts while having no effect on healthy cells. This data demonstrated the specificity of AdAlta’s i-body for diseased tissue and a unique profile compared to existing treatments. The team was delighted to have its research published by such a highly regarded scientific journal. Bolstering of IP portfolio AdAlta was granted a key patent relating to its lead i-body product. The patent titled ‘CXCR4 binding molecules’ was granted in Australia in November 2017 with a priority date of 9 January 2015. Patents are granted on a country by country basis and the grant of an Australian patent is a positive indication of the validity of the claims, which are being pursued internationally. Creating a capable team AdAlta expanded its team during the reporting period to build the capabilities required to successfully move AD-214 into the clinic and for the development of the i-body pipeline. Chief Operating Officer, Dr Dallas Hartman, joined AdAlta in October 2017, bringing over 20 years of industry experience in manufacturing and characterisation of Fc-fusion products from both CSL and Nexvet. AdAlta has also recently appointed Dr Angus Tester as Head of Drug Discovery. Dr Tester has significant commercial experience in roles with other listed biotech companies Opthea and Telix Pharmaceuticals and will be guiding the expansion of the i-body pipeline during 2019. Continuing research and collaboration AdAlta has continued its collaboration with Professor Carol Pollock at the University of Sydney to evaluate the lead i-body for the treatment of chronic kidney disease. Professor Pollock was awarded a project grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) totalling $768,000. The grant provides non-dilutive funding to build on the initial work completed by the Kolling Institute and University of Sydney that demonstrated the anti-fibrotic effects of AdAlta’s lead candidate in the kidney via a different mechanism of action from currently-approved therapies. AdAlta Limited Annual Report 2018 13 Profile building AdAlta has continued to raise its profile and engage across a range of market segments including the investor community, biotechnology industry, IPF community and general public. AdAlta Chief Executive Officer Sam Cobb has continued a strong investor outreach program providing the opportunity to engage with both existing and prospective shareholders. AdAlta held its second Investor and Analyst briefing day in February, bringing together leading speakers in funds management, research and drug development to discuss the ability of the i-body platform to ‘drug’ difficult to access targets. AdAlta also held Shareholder Briefing Sessions at several locations in July 2017 and April 2018 and presented at several investor events such as the Biotech Showcase, Biotech meets Broker, Gold Coast Investment Showcase and 121 Tech Investment in Hong Kong. AdAlta also received analyst coverage from Bioshares, Patersons and NDF Research along with media coverage from Small Caps, Stockhead and Biotech Daily, Fairfax media, Biotech Dispatch, Check Orphan, Rare Disease Report and Clinical Leader. AdAlta has increased its profile within the biotechnology community with CEO Sam Cobb promoted as a key speaker at the BioMelbourne Connecting Women lunch and a feature on both Sam Cobb and AdAlta published in Australasian Biotechnology. The Company was recognised as a player in the single domain antibody and phage display spaces through mentions in reviews in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery in July 2017 and June 2018, respectively. The Company increased the use of its website and social media channels throughout the period, which has seen in increase in stakeholder engagement more broadly. AdAlta undertook significant engagement with the IPF patient and clinician network during 2018. AdAlta CEO Sam Cobb presented at the inaugural IPF Summit held in Boston in August 2017, which brought together IPF researchers and drug developers. Updates to the IPF program have been covered in both Pulmonary Fibrosis News and Lung Disease News, which are valuable news portals for patients with fibrotic lung conditions. AdAlta also ran a series of weekly articles during Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month with contributions from clinicians, patients and allied health to help raise awareness of this disease. Summary of operating results The Company reported a loss for the year ended 30 June 2018, after accounting for income tax benefit, of ($3,854,894) (30 June 2017: ($2,832,517)). The year ended 30 June 2018 operating results are attributed to the following: • Research and Development tax incentive refund: $2,020,175 (30 June 2017: $1,777,030); • Cost of services expense of $3,980,633 (30 June 2017: $3,598,678); and • Employment benefit expense of $664,909 (30 June 2017: $404,669). Financial liquidity and capital resources AdAlta ended the financial year with $2,306,048 in the bank. In July 2018 the Company announced that it completed a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors and in August 2018 a share purchase plan (SPP) to existing shareholders on the same terms as those offered under the placement raising a total of $4.73 million. As a result, the Directors believe the Company is in a strong and stable financial position and that the funds raised from the placement and SPP will be used for manufacturing and pre-clinical studies of AD-214 as well as internal research and development of new i-bodies and corporate costs. Events after the reporting period On 13th July 2018, the Company announced the placement of 14,166,667 fully paid ordinary shares to sophisticated and institutional investors at a price of $0.30 per share to raise $4.25 million. Directors intend to take up a total of 522,450 shares, the issue of which will be subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting. On 16th July 2018, eligible shareholders were offered the opportunity to subscribe for up to $15,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares in AdAlta, free of brokerage and commission, under a share purchase plan (SPP) at the same price as the placement. On 15 August 2018, the Company announced the Placement of 1,592,011 fully paid ordinary shares to eligible shareholders at a price of $0.30 per share to raise $477,603 from the SPP. Otherwise, there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen subsequent to the end of the financial year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years. AdAlta Limited Annual Report 2018 14 Future developments, prospects and business strategies AdAlta’s strategy is to continue to develop its lead i-body drug candidate, AD-214, demonstrating its safety and advancing it to the clinic for treatment of fibrosis-related diseases. The Company also has a focus on increasing the interest in its novel i-body platform, which has several advantages over more traditional drug discovery platforms. The long loop has far greater access to targets than monoclonal antibodies, and with high affinity and specificity. This ability to drug the undruggable was highlighted at the AdAlta Investor and Analyst Briefing day in February 2018 but also in a recent Nature publication, suggesting technologies like AdAlta’s i-body platform may open up further opportunities to develop therapeutics to GPCRs and ion channels that have traditionally been hard to drug. Increasing interest in the i-body platform provides an opportunity to expand the pipeline of drug candidates in multiple therapeutic areas, creating the potential for additional revenue, including up-front, milestone payments and licensing payments. Greater interest in the platform also creates partnering opportunities. AdAlta plans to maximise the benefits of its i-body platform and i-body libraries through partnerships, while retaining the ability to resource and focus on its own in-house discovery and development activities. AdAlta will continue to engage all relevant stakeholders in order to ensure the best commercial outcomes can be secured. Environmental issues The Company’s operations are not subject to significant environmental regulation under the Australian Commonwealth or State Law.

AdAlta Limited Annual Report 2018 15 Remuneration policy The Board of Directors of the Company is currently responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for key management personnel. The Company has a Remuneration Committee, which consists of John Chiplin (Chair of Remuneration Committee), Paul MacLeman and Liddy McCall. The remuneration policy, which is set out below, is designed to promote superior performance and long-term commitment to the Company. Non-Executive Director remuneration Non-executive Directors are remunerated by way of fees, in the form of cash, non-cash benefits, superannuation contributions or salary sacrifice into equity and do not normally participate in schemes designed for the remuneration of executives. Shareholders approval must be obtained in relation to the overall limit set for the non-executive Directors’ fees. The maximum aggregate remuneration approved by shareholders for non-executive Directors is $350,000 per annum. The Directors set the individual non-executive Director fees within the limit approved by shareholders. Non-executive Directors are not provided with retirement benefits. Executive Director remuneration Executive Directors receive a base remuneration which is at market rates, and may be entitled to performance based remuneration, which is determined on an annual basis. Overall remuneration policies are subject to the discretion of the Board and can be changed to reflect competitive and business conditions where it is in the interests of the Company and shareholders to do so. Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the Board having regard to the performance, relevant comparative information and expert advice. The Board’s remuneration policy reflects its obligation to align executive remuneration with shareholders’ interests and to retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of the Company. The main principles are: (a) remuneration reflects the competitive market in which the Company operates; (b) individual remuneration should be linked to performance criteria if appropriate; and (c) executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance. The total remuneration of executives consists of the following: (a) salary – executives receive a fixed sum payable fortnightly in cash plus superannuation at 9.5% of salary; (b) cash at risk component – executives may participate in share and option schemes generally made in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders if deemed appropriate. However, the Board considers it appropriate to issue shares and options to executives outside of approved schemes in exceptional circumstances; (c) other benefits – executives may, if deemed appropriate by the Board, be provided with a fully expensed mobile phone and other forms of remuneration; and (d) performance bonus. The Board has not formally engaged the services of a remuneration consultant to provide recommendations when setting the remuneration received by Directors or other key management personnel during the financial year. Relationship between the remuneration policy and Company performance The Board considers that at this time, evaluation of the Company’s financial performance using generally accepted measures such as profitability, total shareholder return or per Company comparison are not relevant as the Company is at an early stages of development trial which is continuing as outlined in the Directors’ report.

(cid:31)xcept for cash flo(cid:74) information, the financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, (cid:74)here applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. (b) (cid:30)oing Concern These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, (cid:74)hich contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. (cid:27)s disclosed in the financial statements, the Company incurred losses of (cid:2)3,854,894 (2017(cid:23) (cid:2)2,832,517) and the Company had net cash outflo(cid:74)s from operating activities of (cid:2)3,928,616 (2017(cid:23) (cid:2)3,726,823). (cid:27)s at balance date, the Company had net current assets of (cid:2)4,072,631 (2017(cid:23) (cid:2)7,745,378). The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company (cid:74)ill continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report. (c) (cid:32)ncome Ta(cid:72) The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as (cid:74)ell unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss (cid:74)hen the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period (cid:74)hen the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in (cid:74)hich management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit (cid:74)ill be available against (cid:74)hich the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. (d) Fair value measurement (cid:32)air value is the price the Company (cid:74)ould receive to sell an asset or (cid:74)ould have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction bet(cid:74)een independent, (cid:62)no(cid:74)ledgeable and (cid:74)illing mar(cid:62)et participants at the measurement date. (cid:27)s fair value is a mar(cid:62)et-based measure, the closest equivalent observable mar(cid:62)et pricing information is used to determine fair value. (cid:27)d(cid:61)ustments to mar(cid:62)et values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active mar(cid:62)et are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable mar(cid:62)et data. (cid:32)or non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also ta(cid:62)es into account a mar(cid:62)et participant(cid:5)s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another mar(cid:62)et participant that (cid:74)ould use the asset in its highest and best use. The fair value of liabilities and the entity(cid:5)s o(cid:74)n equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, (cid:74)here there is no observable mar(cid:62)et price in relation to the transfer of such financial instrument, by reference to observable mar(cid:62)et information (cid:74)here such instruments are held as assets.

Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and (cid:74)hen the financial liability is derecognised. (cid:32)mpairment (cid:27)t the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses (cid:74)hether there is ob(cid:61)ective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. (cid:27) financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is ob(cid:61)ective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a (cid:5)loss event(cid:5)) having occurred, (cid:74)hich has an impact on the estimated future cash flo(cid:74)s of the financial asset(s). In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the mar(cid:62)et value of the instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. (cid:27)lso, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss at this point. (g) (cid:32)mpairment of assets (cid:27)t the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses (cid:74)hether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment (cid:74)ill include considering external sources of information and internal sources of information, including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or (cid:61)oint ventures deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset(cid:5)s fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset(cid:5)s carrying amount. (cid:27)ny excess of the asset(cid:5)s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance (cid:74)ith another (cid:45)tandard (e.g. in accordance (cid:74)ith the revaluation model in (cid:27)(cid:27)(cid:45)(cid:28) 116(cid:23) Property, Plant and (cid:31)quipment). (cid:27)ny impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance (cid:74)ith that other (cid:45)tandard. (cid:49)here 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 (cid:74)hich the asset belongs. Impairment testing is performed annually for good(cid:74)ill and intangible assets (cid:74)ith indefinite lives. (h) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected (cid:74)ithin 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. (cid:27)ll other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Long(cid:10)term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled (cid:74)ithin 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the pro(cid:61)ected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future (cid:74)age and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis ta(cid:62)ing into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Income from the Research and Development tax incentive is recognised on an accrual basis in the year to (cid:74)hich the incentive relates.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of AdAlta Limited, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i) 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 then ended; and ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We have conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under the Auditor’s in those Standards are Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. further described 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 ethical requirements in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the date of this auditor’s report. 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Intellectual Property Rights and Obligations arising from Research and Development Agreements The Company has in place multiple agreements with research and development providers whereby certain services and facilities are supplied in exchange for payment. To enable the delivery of these services and facilities, the Company’s intellectual property is made available to the research and development providers. Management have written specific clauses into the Research and Development Agreements to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights and also exercise their judgment in interpreting the agreements and the recognition of any potential liabilities and/or commitments arising therefrom. Equity and Capital Structure Refer note 11 During the year, the company successfully issued various options of which some have been exercised and fully paid ordinary shares issued. Research and Development Tax Incentive Refer notes 2 and 6 Management utilise key assumptions, judgements and estimates in determining the R&D Tax Incentive disclosed in note 2 and 6 which is material to the financial statements. Our audit procedures included obtaining copies of major agreements and reviewing them to determine if any commitments, provisions or payables needed to be accounted for and disclosed in line with the applicable Australian Accounting Standards. Furthermore, we reviewed the agreements to ensure clauses were present to protect the intellectual property rights of AdAlta Limited. Our audit procedures included an examination of each conversion to, and issue of, fully paid ordinary shares during the year as shown in note 11. We also assessed whether or not share-based payments should have been recognised in relation to the Employee Share Option Plan. Further, we reconciled the third party share registry to information announced to the public. Our audit procedures included an evaluation of the assumptions, methodologies and conclusions used by the Company in preparing the R&D Tax Incentive application. We also focused on the adequacy of financial report disclosures regarding these assumptions as disclosed at note 1. Key Audit Matter Deferred Taxation Refer note 3 The Company relies on the use of an expert to prepare the Company income tax return and taxation disclosures which are material to the financial statements. Further, management utilise key assumptions, judgements and estimates in calculating the deferred tax disclosed in note 1. How our audit addressed the key audit matter Our audit procedures included an evaluation of the assumptions, methodologies and conclusions used by the company in preparing their estimate of deferred taxes. In accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we relied on the work of management's expert with respect to the assumptions used in the calculation of deferred taxes. This included examining the qualifications, objectivity and experience of management's expert. We also focused on the adequacy of financial report disclosures regarding these assumptions as disclosed at note 1. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and the 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. 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 the 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 related 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 the financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: (cid:120) Identify and assess 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. (cid:120) Obtain and 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. (cid:120) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. (cid:120) 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. (cid:120) 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 with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore 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 public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included on pages 15 to 21 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2018. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of AdAlta Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Responsibilities The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
