Over the past twelve months, key commercial & product-line milestones have been realized that significantly expand our market opportunities and establish new revenue streams for FY2022. Notable examples of this include the following: • • • Total mattress cooling system (TMCS) – Developed with commercial partners over the past 18 months, the TMCS initiative brings a diverse set up Alexicool® products into a single mattress design. Initial sales began in FY2021 with the full run rate expected in 1H FY2022. Eclipsys™ – Commercially launched in Q2 FY2021, this product line provides continual cooling via our proprietary technology. While bedding applications were the initial target market, we have identified a number of applicable markets with first revenue for the body armor market anticipated in 1H FY2022. BioCool™ – also commercially launched in Q2 FY2021, this product line launched a proprietary biobased and biodegradable phase change material (PCM) which has had fast adoption in the bedding market and will continue to grow market share in 1H FY2022. Coupling these developments with the new commercial team in place plus growth in other product lines (Alexiflam NF for mattress FR barriers and Eclipsys™ for mattresses), shareholders can clearly see the Company is focused on executing its growth strategy in FY2022. Our year-over-year growth of 20% in FY2021 speaks well for our team’s performance given this growth is on existing markets with established products. As outlined above, we are working towards a stronger growth profile which will be driven by new products and new markets. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present its challenges, the majority of our team has been vaccinated, allowing our Company and our customers to get back to “normal” in 2H FY2021. As we all know, this continues to be a fluid situation, but the board and management team believe the Company is well-positioned to manage any issues as they arise. Thank you to all of our shareholders for your support. Sincerely, Mrs Rosheen Garnon Chair of the Board Dr Bob Brookins Chief Executive Officer ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 2 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Your Directors present their report on Alexium International Group Limited and its subsidiaries (‘Company’) for the period ended 30 June 2021. DIRECTORS The Directors of the Company in office during the period ended 30 June 2021 and until the date of this report are as follows. Directors were in office for the entire period unless otherwise stated. Brigadier General Stephen Cheney Dr Robert Brookins • Mrs Rosheen Garnon • • • Mr Simon Moore • Dr Paul Stenson PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The development of advanced materials where there is a market opportunity for commercialisation. During the period activities included: Research and development in consultation with end clients; • • Obtaining patents in relation to new products developed; and • Commercialisation and sales of the products. DIVIDENDS No dividend was paid during the period and the Board has not recommended the payment of a dividend (2020: Nil). SHARE CAPITAL The following were on issue: Type Ordinary shares Unlisted options Outstanding warrants Share appreciation rights Performance rights 30-Jun-21 640,197,246 - 3,829,787 16,150,924 1,226,076 30-Jun-20 634,456,542 1,500,000 3,829,787 - 2,992,160 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Operations and Technology Review The Company’s corporate and operating activities are performed from our single facility located in Greer, South Carolina, USA. The Company utilises contract manufacturers to produce finished goods; this creates a variable cost model for manufacturing and allows the Company to focus its efforts on product development and commercialisation of high-performance products. The main product families are phase change material (“PCM”) and cooling products for the bedding industry and flame retardant (“FR”) technologies for markets such as bedding, military, and workwear. Alexium’s focus areas during the year: Alexicool®: PCM-based cooling products for textile and foam applications. This product line is the key driver of sales of the Company. Its performance is reliable and drives value for customers. BioCool™: Commercialised proprietary biobased cooling products for textile and foam applications with a product line that has a USDA BioPreferred Certification with 92% biobased content with initial sales and increasing adoption rates by customers in 2H FY2021. Total Mattress Cooling System (TMCS): Technology based on the Company’s Alexicool® product line, TMCS provides a higher level of cooling performance using multiple products integrated into various components within the mattress. First sales started in H2 with the full run rate expected to be established in 1H FY2022. Phonon™ / Eclipsys™: Perpetual cooling technology for textile and foam-based products. This IP protected technology is a lightweight product that has benefits of being adaptive/responsive cooling, non-flammable, non-toxic and is environmentally friendly. In contrast to PCM Technology, which works by absorbing heat, this technology builds on this by counteracting the insulative effects of foam and textiles, constantly moving heat away from the consumer. Customer trials are expected in 1H FY 2022 for body armor. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 3 DIRECTORS’ REPORT Alexiflam® NF-treated Sock for Foam Mattresses: This initiative applies the Company’s FR product to a cotton-based mattress sock to provide a flame barrier in foam mattresses. For the year, marketing to mattress-component manufacturers and brands has been successful in driving market interest in the technology. Successful production runs with manufacturers have further solidified the supply chain to support customers in the US. The Company is leveraging current customer relationship to penetrate the market. Alexiflam® FR for military uniforms: Joint efforts have continued during the year with Pine Belt Processing (a subsidiary of Warmkraft, Inc.) on the manufacturing process application of Alexiflam® with some progress. To accelerate our progress, the Company is now pursuing a two-prong commercial strategy that includes rolled goods application. This moves the application of Alexiflam® to earlier in the supply chain to the point where fabric is rolled up onto a core after it has been woven ensuring a consistent application of chemistry. Commercialisation of Alexiflam® NF: The Company signed a supply and evaluation agreement for the commercialisation of Alexiflam® NF with a major flame-retardant chemical company (“Business Partner”) following an MOU announced April 4, 2019. The agreement grants access to the technology for the Business Partner to actively evaluate the potential uses with target markets of global FR cotton including workwear. The technology in FR socks for foam mattresses, cotton fleece, and military uniforms is not included in the agreement. Financing: The Company obtained a second $0.5M loan from the US CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program which is expected to be forgiven based on the submission of qualifying expenses. The first loan that was received in FY2020 for $0.5M was forgiven in Q4 FY2021. COVID-19: The company responded to COVID-19 through adaptations to various aspects of the business including implementing safety protocols for employees, restricting access to the operations, implementing more regular communications with both toller manufacturers and suppliers along with increasing engagement with both current and potential customers. Management implemented restrictions to the Company’s facility which identified and required certain employees to work from home. The Company also implemented a strict check in process for those who came to work and severely restricted visitors of any kind. Our toll manufacturer remained open during the entire year and manufactured product without interruption. Materials suppliers and logistics for the most part remained intact. Customer engagement remained high but without on-site visits for most of the year. With the roll out of the vaccine program came some relief of restrictions. The Company ceased their check-in and work from home mandate on 1 June2021 for employees once we reached a majority of people vaccinated. In addition, the Company allowed select customer and supplier visits to our facility with temperature check and questionnaire completion. We also experienced customers allowing Company employees to visit their businesses. The company did not experience a significant downturn or loss of business with its existing customer base and was able to increase sales by 20% year over year with strong demand for bedding related products from consumers. The Company did observe through its customers that as producers of bedding went into the start of COVID-19 they purposefully reduced inventories to lower inventory carrying costs during the period of uncertainty. This action caused delays to the supply chain particularly when demand started to increase back to pre-COVID-19 levels. Operationally, employee headcount remained consistent through the year. Travel restrictions are easing, customer in-person visits and industry conferences/trade shows are returning. There are no significant changes to operating costs due to COVID-19. Management has taken a multifaceted approach to reviewing the balance sheet for COVID-19 related asset impairment. Management has considered potential impacts by estimating the recoverable amount of intangible assets as part of impairment testing. The results of our assessment indicate that assets are not held at amounts higher than the recoverable amount. Further, no expected credit losses are recognised, and year end customer receivables are considered fully collectable. Financial Result Overview The Company’s net loss attributable to members of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 was $1,445,319 (2020: $6,125,476). This represents a 76% decrease in net loss over the prior period. The primary drivers behind this are described below. Revenues from ordinary operating activities increased 20% from the prior year at $7,276,399 (2020: $6,078,857). Gross profit increased 14% year over year at $2,641,907 (2020: $2,313,099) while gross margins decreased two percentage points to 36% (2020: 38%) mainly due to product mix. Operating costs increased 7% from $5,025,347 to $5,377,173. The net change of $351,826 is comprised of $239,536 decrease on selling, general and administrative expenses offset by increases in depreciation and amortisation expense of $322,404, decrease in capitalised internal development costs to non-current assets resulted in an increase of $216,450 to operational expenses, and loss on sale/disposal of fixed assets for $52,508. Interest expense decreased by $1,200,493 which together with the loss of extinguishment of debt in the prior year of $1,522,033 resulted in a positive change year over year due to the refinancing of the company debt in December 2019. The gain on embedded derivative on the existing loan increased income by $1,071,435. Finally, the company recognised the forgiveness of both loans received under the US CARES Act PPP program in the amount of $921,315. The first loan that was received in FY2020 was forgiven, and the second loan that was received in FY2021 is expected to be forgiven sometime in 1H FY2022 which is when the forgiveness process is expected to open. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 4 DIRECTORS’ REPORT As at 30 June 2021 the cash position was $2,932,673 (2020: $4,741,251). Cash changes were from normal operating and investing activities. The company was also able to obtain $460,352 loan from the US CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program which is part of the financing activities on the cash flow statement. Material Business Risks The Company has identified below the specific risks which could impact upon its prospects: Maintaining strong intellectual property position: Product innovation is key to the Company's business model, thus maintaining a strong intellectual property position is critical. To ensure this, the Company is attentive to developing next-generation products that are not only well-differentiated in the market but are also inventive and meet market needs. Maintaining a well-educated and highly experienced technical staff will continue to be a focus for the Company. Competition in key markets: The Company has worked diligently on its PCM-based products to ensure that market competition is well understood, and that the Company’s product portfolio adequately responds to these competitors. This response includes: • Effective pricing strategies and product innovation; • Analytical tools and methods that objectively demonstrate the value of the Company’s products versus competitor’s; and • Identification of market gaps where current commercial technologies are not effective. Sufficient capital for achieving profitability: The Company monitors and manages its resources to ensure there is sufficient capital to achieve profitability. Based on the Company’s budget, the Board is confident that the Company’s revenue forecasts, commercial pipeline, and funding options will ensure that the Company is sufficiently capitalised for the upcoming twelve months. Commercial risks due to market dynamics: Beyond threats from competitors, the Company identifies changes in the markets themselves as potential risks and works to mitigate these risks through diversification of its product portfolio, customer driven product innovation, and building a broader customer base. Covid-19 Impact: COVID-19 presents business challenges due to the uncertainty of long-term impact to consumer spending and potential supply- chain disruption in the bedding related industry. The Company is proactively managing the circumstances as it evolves its strategies and processes to protect employees and stakeholder’s interests. Likely Developments In FY2022, Alexium is committed to: • Further commercialisation of BioCool™ product line which is USDA BioPreferred certified • Diversify efforts for FR NyCo technology for military uniforms using parallel paths to market • Commercialisation of the Eclipsys™/ Phonon® product line • First revenues from Alexiflam® FR Sock • Significant revenue growth with achieving positive EBITDA; and • Ensuring a financially strong and stable business through detailed planning, responsible management and transparency of strategy and outcomes. The Company’s business strategies to achieve the above goals include: • Leveraging market position and Company resources for greater market penetration; • Strengthening and maintaining key relationships supporting the Company’s initiatives; and • Disciplined and conservative approach to increasing expenditures relative to sales growth.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee continuously monitors the remuneration framework with a goal of ensuring that remuneration is aligned with performance and the creation of value for shareholders. The Company’s remuneration framework aims to ensure that: • • • • • Rewards reflect the competitive global market in which the Company operates; Incentive remuneration is linked to KPI’s, which are designed to encourage behaviours that are short, medium and long term in nature; Rewards to executives are linked to the creation of value to shareholders; Executives are rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance; and Remuneration arrangements ensure equity between executives and facilitate the deployment of human resources. The Board seeks independent advice on remuneration policies and practices. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive and Executive remuneration is separate and distinct. Remuneration Committee responsibilities are carried out by Brigadier General Cheney (Chair), Mr Moore, Mrs Garnon and Dr Stenson. Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy Fees and payments to the Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on and the responsibilities of the Directors. The Non- Executive Director’s fees and payments are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee to ensure they are appropriate and in line with the market. Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed fee for service. The Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate director’s’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at 375,000 per fiscal year and was approved by shareholders at the 2016 Annual General Meeting. No retirement benefits are provided other than compulsory superannuation. Executive Remuneration Policy The Company’s Managing Director and Executives remuneration packages contain the following key elements: • Primary benefits – base salary, short-term incentives, pension contributions and medical benefit plan for US based executives. • Long term incentives – performance rights and shares under the Company’s Performance Rights Plan and Incentive Share Plan.

(d) Company Accounting Policies Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The Company measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Australian Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable, and willing market participants at the measurement date. As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market 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 market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 22 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 Valuation techniques In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Company selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability. The Company selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Company are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches: • Market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. • Income approach converts estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value. • Cost approach reflects the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity. Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Company gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable. Fair value hierarchy AASB 13: Fair value measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: Level 1: Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. The Company would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances: • if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or • if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa. When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred. (e) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate all assets, liabilities, and results of the Company. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 21. The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Company from the date on which control is obtained by the Company. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Company entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Company. Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly, or indirectly, to the Company are presented as “non-controlling interests". The Company initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. After initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non- controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income. (f) Foreign currency translation The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars ($). The functional currency of the Parent is Australian Dollar (A$) and the functional currencies of the subsidiaries are the Pound Sterling and the US Dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of the ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 23 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. All resulting exchange differences are recognised on other comprehensive income. As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date and the statements of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. All resulting exchange differences are recognised on other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign entity, the cumulative exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. (g) Property, plant, and equipment Owned assets Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items. Leased assets Right-of-use assets under lease agreements are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate. Book value is stated as net present value less accumulated depreciation. Upon completion of the certain finance lease terms, ownership of the subject asset is transferred to the Company which begins recognition as property, plant, and equipment. Subsequent costs The Company recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in profit or loss as an expense as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each asset. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative years are as follows: Asset Type Computer equipment Machinery and equipment Furniture, fixtures and office equipment Leased plant and equipment Years 3 years 3 to 15 years 3 to 10 years Shorter of the lease term or the useful life The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually. (h) Intangible assets Acquired intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is considered five years, as these assets are considered finite. Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Internally Generated Intangible Assets Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop new specialty chemicals is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly attributable to a project’s development phase are recognised as intangible assets, provided they meet the following recognition requirements: • Development costs can be measured reliably; • Project is technically and commercially feasible, • The Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project, • The Company has the ability to use or sell the asset; and • The asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Costs directly attributable to capitalised development include employee expenses incurred on technology development, external testing fees, and product trial costs. Costs not meeting these criteria are expensed as incurred. The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for capitalised development is dependent on the successful development and commercialisation of the Company’s technology. Any internally generated asset that is not yet complete and not fully amortised is subject to impairment testing. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred. Amortisation Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life are systematically tested for impairment at each annual reporting date. Capitalised development costs, patents, and trademarks with a finite life are amortised based on estimated future economic life. Amortisation charges are included as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 24 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 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 profit or loss. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the profit or loss. Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted as appropriate. (i) Impairment of assets At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount to profit or loss. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less cost to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for 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. (j) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less any expected credit losses (ECL) determined under the simplified approach to accounting for trade and other receivables as detailed in AASB 9. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators, and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses. The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due. (k) Determination and presentation of operating segments For management purposes, the Company is organised into one main operating segment which involves the development and commercialisation of its proprietary flame retardant and phase change material technologies and selling its specialised chemistry to customers. All the Company’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Chief Executive Officer as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment. The Company has applied AASB 8 Operating Segments from 01 July 2009. AASB 8 requires a ‘management approach’ under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. An operating segment’s results are reviewed regularly by the Board to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Board considers the business from both a product and a geographical perspective and takes the view that the Company operates under a single operating segment. (l) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand and short-term deposits. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (m) Financial instruments Recognition and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or expires. Classification and initial measurement of financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories: • amortised cost • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) • fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 25 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVTPL): • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply (see below). Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) The Company accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following conditions: • they are held under a business model whose objective it is “hold to collect” the associated cash flows and sell and • the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Any gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset. The Company does not have any financial assets categorised as FVOCI. Impairment of financial assets AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the ECL model included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Recognition of credit losses is not dependent on the Company first identifying a credit loss event. Instead, the Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument. In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between: • Financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) • Financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’). • ‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. ‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category. Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument. Trade and other receivables and contract assets The Company makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators, and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Company assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due. At the reporting date expected lifetime credit losses are Nil. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities The Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments). All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income. (n) Embedded Derivative The Company has issued liability classified embedded derivatives in connection with its convertible debt. An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 26 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 in a way like a standalone derivative. The embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. The embedded derivative is measured at fair value with changes in value being recorded in profit or loss. (o) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. (p) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) because of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income, net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are several similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material. (q) Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (r) Revenue recognition In accordance with the standard, revenue is recognised and measured when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e., an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset [AASB 15.31] and no additional goods or services, warranties, repurchase agreements, or public return policies, or other limitations exist that that would not allow the Company to consider its performance completed at this time of transfer. The Company considers the transfer complete in line with “FOB Shipping Point” Incoterms and recognises the completion of this performance obligation when the finished product is shipped at which time revenue is recognised. Sale of goods Revenue is recognised at a specific point in time and measured when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e., an asset) to a customer. AASB 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines the accounting requirements for when and how revenue is recognised using one core principle: “Recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. “This is accomplished by using a 5- step recognition process consisting of the following: 1.) 2.) Identify the contract - The Company utilises a set of criteria to clearly identify the existence of contracts with customers, which includes contract approval by both parties, identification of each parties’ rights and commitments, determination of payment terms, presence of commercial substance and a probability consideration will be collected. Identify the performance obligations - The Company has identified the sole performance obligation of customer contracts to be the complete transfer of the goods to the customer. In accordance with AASB 15.24, there are no additional goods or services, warranties, repurchase agreements, or public return policies, or other limitations of the seller that would not allow the Company to consider its performance completed at this time of transfer. The Company considers the transfer complete in line with “FOB Shipping Point” Incoterms and recognises the completion of this performance obligation when products are shipped. 3.) Determine the transaction price - The Company considers the transaction price to be the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. As and when a performance obligation is satisfied the Company recognises revenue to the extent of the transaction price allocated to that performance obligation considering the impact of constraints arising from variable consideration [AASB 15.46]. 4.) Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations - Given that there is a single performance obligation to each contract, and the price is clearly identified in the contract, the Company allocates the full contract price to the transfer of goods discussed in Step 2, except for combined contracts noted as having variable consideration. 5.) Recognise revenue when each obligation is satisfied - at contract inception the Company has determined that the sole performance obligation is the complete transfer of goods to the customer. The Company must then determine the specific point in time at which it is appropriate to recognise revenue for the contract. AASB 15 states that an entity shall consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the following • Company has a present right to payment for the asset; • Customer has legal title to the asset; • Company has transferred physical possession of the asset; ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 27 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 • Customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset; and • Customer has accepted the asset. Management recognises that the application of the control criteria requires judgment and there are various factors to consider, as described above. Accordingly, management believes that control is transferred in accordance with the shipping terms, as this is the point in time that the customer obtains legal title, when customer obtains the risk and rewards of ownership, and when the customer has an obligation to pay for the asset. The standard discusses that an entity should consider whether there is any agreement to repurchase the asset transferred to the customer, or a component. This topic is not applicable to the Company as it is not the practice nor discussed in any contracts. Management recognises that contracts and arrangements could change as the Company enters new markets and expands its customer base. Management will continue to monitor any changes to ensure the accounting is in line with the context of AASB 15. Interest and dividends Interest income is recorded when earned based on cash balances. Interest expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognised at the time the right to receive payment is established. (s) Income and other taxes Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for the financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences: • Except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and • In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. • Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised: • Except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and • In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income. Other taxes Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (t) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (‘EPS’) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to members of the parent entity for the reporting year, after excluding any costs of servicing equity (other than ordinary shares and converting preference shares classified as ordinary shares of EPS calculation purposes), by weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company. (u) Employee benefits Termination benefits Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Company is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits because of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the Company has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their present value. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 28 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 Long-Term Employee Benefits The Company’s liabilities for annual leave are included in other current liabilities. Any adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur. The Company presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place. Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. There are no employee-benefit expenses recognised within cost of sales. Share-based payment transactions The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes. (v) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for, as follows: • Raw materials: average cost; and • Finished goods and work in progress: cost of direct materials and manufacturing charges from contract manufacturer. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (w) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Share-based payments The Company initially measures the cost of cash-settled transactions with employees using a binomial model to determine the fair value of the liability incurred. 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. For cash-settled share-based payment transactions, the liability needs to be remeasured at the end of each reporting period up to the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. This requires a reassessment of the estimates used at the end of each reporting period. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 17. Fair value of financial instruments When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow (DCF) and Black-Scholes option pricing models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. The assessed fair values of the embedded derivatives were determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which approximates the results that would have been achieved by using a binomial lattice. The model considers the expected price volatility of the underlying instrument, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. The twelve-month share price history has been used to determine the expected price volatility. Changes in assumptions in relation to these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 22(f) for further disclosures. Intangible Assets The Company assesses at initial recognition whether an internally developed asset has met the recognition requirements established in AASB 138 and measures the direct and indirect costs of development using several estimates and assumptions. After capitalisation, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that capitalised costs may be impaired. In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results, the determination of a suitable discount rate, and the appropriate classification of cash generating units. See Note 12 for further disclosures.

The Directors have considered it prudent not to bring to account the future income tax benefit of income tax losses until it is probable of deriving assessable income of a nature and amount to enable such benefit to be realised. The Company has estimated unrecouped income tax losses of 64,480,646 (2020: 52,753,419) which may be available to offset against taxable income in future years. The benefit of these losses and timing differences will only be obtained if there is sufficient probability that taxable profits will be generated by the Company in future periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities which relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority are offset where the Company intends to settle those tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

An asset is impaired when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. When this occurs an impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Management has used AASB 136 Impairment of Assets as the basis for impairment testing. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use and has been determined for assets not being amortised. To determine recoverable amount, management have used a fair value less costs of disposal approach. The fair value has been calculated using a replacement costs methodology through a cost model. Management has set out to determine the replacement cost of the technology, which approximates the price that would be received for the asset based on the cost to a market participant to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility. In constructing a replacement cost assessment, the Company considered all necessary components required for a market participant to construct an asset of comparable utility. These costs include, internal development expenses (employee costs), analytical equipment, external testing and trial fees, and research lab overhead. The determined replacement value under the cost method, indicates there is no impairment on the asset. For assets ready for use and being amortised, management has assessed for indications of impairment according to AASB 136 paragraphs 12-14, which include considerations of external and internal sources of information. The series of indications management considered included: significant changes with adverse effects having taken place, evidence of obsolescence, evidence of economic performance being worse than expected, and other observable indications that an assets value has declined significantly during the period. No impairment loss has been recognised for the reporting period. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 34 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 13.

These assets are used for administration and operational activities with remaining lease terms of 1-7 years. Where a right to control an asset specified in a lease agreement exists, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying leased asset, and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lease liabilities are recognised similarly to financial liabilities with cash repayments recorded into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them as such in the statement of cash flows. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The measurement includes non-variable lease payments expected to be incurred for the term of the lease. The term of the lease is determined by reference to non-cancellable periods and those periods subject to exercise of an option, where that option is considered reasonably certain to be exercised.

BORROWINGS Convertible note carrying value Other borrowings Principal balance outstanding 2021 2,510,345 - 2,510,345 2020 1,979,878 460,352 2,440,230 Convertible note On 24 December 2019, the Company entered a convertible note, secured by the Company’s assets, with an institutional lender. The $3.5 million (A$5.15M) note carries a four-year term and 6.0% annual interest rate with coupon interest payments due quarterly. The note is convertible into ordinary shares at the holder’s discretion and with shareholder approval. The proceeds from the funding were used to pay down the loan facility originated on 30 September 2017, which carried a higher interest rate and was due to expire on 30 September 2020. The Borrowings have been measured at amortised cost in accordance with AASB 9 and gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the borrowings are derecognised. The Company allocates interest payments over the term of the borrowings at a constant rate on the carrying value. The carrying balance over the remaining life of the facility will increase to the current principal balance of $3.9 million.

Under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act enacted 27 March 2020. The program called Paycheck Protection Program was created with the goal to support small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. On 29 January 21, the Company received a second loan in the amount of 468,428 under a new phase of the economic stimulus package. Under the program, loans were designed to be up to 100% forgivable if the borrower maintains employment levels and payrates over the selected covered period. After submission of all necessary documentation, the loan that originated on 06 May 2020 was fully forgiven on 15 April 2021. At the forgiveness date, the Company recognised the forgiven principal balance as Other Income in accordance with the AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosing Government Assistance. Forgiveness has not been applied for on the loan originated on 29 January 2021 as of the close of the reporting period. However, based on the forgiveness of the first loan and an understanding of the terms of the program, the Company has determined there is “reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to it” and therefore this second loan will also be forgiven. The Company has adopted the income approach to presentation as all related expenses intended to be compensated for fall in the current reporting period and all conditions and contingencies have been fulfilled. The Company has recognised the full balance of the loan as Other Income on 30 June 2021 in accordance with the AASB 120. No other forms of government assistance have been received. Derivative liability The current and previous borrowings are considered hybrid instruments with host and derivative liability components. When initially recorded the derivative is measured at fair value and separated from the host liability. Subsequently changes in value are recorded in profit or loss upon revaluation. This has been valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Pricing model inputs of the current derivative include exercise price (A$0.075), risk-free rate (0.350%), remaining term (2.5 years) and volatility (82.2%). Derivative liability Gain/ (Loss) on embedded derivative 2021 949,126 1,043,912 2020 1,810,494 (27,523) Loss on debt extinguishment The previous loan with a 9,000,000 balance was paid in full on 31 December 2019 and was measured at the amortised cost using the effective interest method. The residual value was amortised to face value over the life of the note. On extinguishment, the liability was derecognised and the difference between the carrying amount of the extinguished liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss. The attached embedded derivative liability is also derecognised and netted against the residual value of the host liability and the consideration paid.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Interest rate risk exposures The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through primary financial assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities held at balance date approximate their estimated net fair values and are given below. The net fair value of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount at which the asset could be exchanged, or liability settled in a current transaction between willing parties after allowing for transaction costs. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for classes of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below: Weighted Fixed Maturity Dates Average Effective Interest Rate % Variable Interest Rate $ < 1 Year $ 1-5 Years $ 5+ years $ Non- Interest Bearing $ Total $ 2021 Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables/other financial assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Convertible note Derivative liability 2020 Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables/other financial assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Convertible note Derivative liability Other Borrowings 0.48 2,332,187 600,486 - - - 2,332,187 - 600,486 - - - - - - - 2,932,673 1,367,592 1,367,592 1,367,592 4,300,265 - 9.80 6.00 - - - - - - - - 169,672 - - 169,672 - 852,186 3,611,566 949,126 5,412,878 - 263,399 - - 263,399 1,892,523 - - - 1,892,523 1,892,523 1,285,257 3,611,566 949,126 7,738,472 0.27 3,503,515 1,237,736 - - - 3,503,515 - 1,237,736 - - - - - - - 4,741,251 979,680 979,680 979,680 5,720,931 - 9.60 6.00 - 1.00 - - - - - - - 235,484 - - 235,484 - 1,004,491 3,611,566 1,810,494 460,352 6,886,903 - 280,766 - - - 280,766 905,513 - - - - 905,513 905,513 1,520,741 3,611,566 1,810,494 460,352 8,308,666 (b) Interest rate risk At 30 June 2021, if interest rates had increased by 1% from the year end variable rates with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity for the Company would have been a 29,327 increase (2020: 47,413 increase) based on cash and cash equivalents. The 1% sensitivity is based on reasonable possible changes using an observed range of historical interest rate movements. (c) Foreign currency risk The Company currently conducts its operations across international borders. A large proportion of the Company’s revenues, cash inflows, other expenses, capital expenditure and commitments are denominated in foreign currencies, mostly with costs and income in US dollars with smaller, less frequent transactions in GBP, Euros and Australian Dollars. Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Company holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the parent or USD functional currency of US Alexium, Inc., or the UK pound sterling functional currency of Alexium Ltd. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 41 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in the Australian dollar and to a lesser degree UK pound sterling may impact on the Company’s financial results. The following table shows the foreign currency risk on the financial assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operations. 2021 Australian dollar US dollar UK pound sterling Statement of financial position exposure 2020 Australian dollar US dollar UK pound sterling Statement of financial position exposure Net Financial Assets/(Liabilities) in USD USD AUD GBP Total USD 42,864,433 - - 42,864,433 - (42,864,433) - (42,864,433) - - - - 42,864,433 (42,864,433) - - 42,523,293 - 559,032 43,082,325 - (42,523,293) (282,820) (42,806,113) 282,820 (559,032) - (276,212) 42,806,113 (43,082,325) 276,212 - The above balances relate to intercompany loans between member companies of the Company. (d) Credit Risk Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents. The Company's exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal. Total bad debt expense for the year was Nil. As the Company does not currently have any significant debtors, lending, stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained. (e) Liquidity risk The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecasted cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day basis, as well as based on a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and 360-day period are identified monthly. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities to determine headroom or shortfalls. The Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities as summarised below: 2021 Trade and other payables Lease liabilities Borrowings Statement of financial position exposure 2020 Trade and other payables Finance lease obligations Borrowings Statement of financial position exposure Current 1-5 Years 5+ years 1,892,523 169,672 - 2,062,195 - 852,186 3,865,627 4,717,813 905,513 235,484 - 1,140,997 - 1,004,491 4,001,549 5,006,040 - 263,399 - 263,399 - 280,766 - 280,766 (f) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities Cash and cash equivalents The carrying amount approximates fair value because of their short-term to maturity. Trade receivables and trade creditors The carrying amount approximates fair value Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows: • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. There were no other financial assets and liabilities other than cash, trade receivables and payables, and borrowings at the close of the reporting periods. ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED 42 NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 June 2021 Measurement of fair value of financial instruments The Company’s finance team performs valuations of financial items for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair values, in consultation with third party valuation specialists for complex valuations. Valuation techniques are selected based on the characteristics of each instrument, with the overall objective of maximising the use of market-based information. Valuation processes and fair value changes are discussed among the audit committee and the valuation team at least every year. Embedded derivatives (Level 3) The assessed fair values of the derivatives were determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model considers the expected price volatility of the underlying instrument, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. A collection of comparable companies has been used as a proxy for the volatility determined. The embedded derivative liability is classified as non-current based on a convertible note maturity of four years. The following shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: 2021 Derivative liability Statement of financial position exposure 2020 Derivative liability Statement of financial position exposure Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total - - - - - - - - 949,126 949,126 949,126 949,126 1,810,494 1,810,494 1,810,494 1,810,494 There were no Level 1 or Level 2 transfers in the current and prior reporting periods. 23.
