LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CEO
Dear Shareholders,
The Company closed FY2022 with many key milestones achieved that positions Alexium not only for future growth but also contributed to year-over-
year growth in FY2022 of 12%. With that said, this success was necessarily dampened by the dramatic market shift across the first and second half
of the year. In 1H FY2022, we had the strongest period of revenue and EBITDA growth for the Company; however, the difficult economic conditions
in the US drove rapid decreases in consumer confidence which in turn impacted consumer discretionary spending in key markets and resulted in a
significant drop in revenue for the Company in 2H FY2022. Throughout these difficult months however, we have been able to continue to drive greater
market penetration while ensuring strong customer retention.
As mentioned, the management team has been able to meet key milestones that delivered revenue growth in FY2022 and positions the Company
well for FY2023:
•
•
Entered an asset-based line of credit with Alterna CS
Expanded the Company’s management team with the addition of Mr. Billy Blackburn as Chief Executive Officer and the transition of Dr.
Bob Brookins to Chief Technology Officer
Fully commercialised mattresses based on Alexium’s designs for a total mattress cooling system (TMCS)
Completed commercialisation of Eclipsys™ technology in body armour market
Drove broader market penetration of Biocool™ products in bedding market
Completed commercialisation of Alexiflam® for FR sock products in the bedding market
•
•
•
•
• Optimised FR NyCo manufacturing process and submitted goods to the US army for military testing
These advances position the Company for continued market penetration and growth in FY2023. As we go into the new fiscal year our focus is on
driving this growth and strengthening the supply chain of our new products to ensure its resiliency. This focus reflects this new phase of the Company
as we turn from a strong focus on technology/product development to a holistic development of the Company to drive shareholder value.
Thank you to all our shareholders for your support throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you at our AGM.
Sincerely,
Mrs Rosheen Garnon
Chair of the Board
Dr Bob Brookins
Chief Executive Officer

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 bedding and military industries 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™: Continued commercialisation of proprietary biobased cooling products for textile and foam applications. This product line has a USDA
BioPreferred Certification based on its biobased content and has seen strong adoption in the market.
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 environmentally friendly. In contrast to PCM Technology, which works by
absorbing heat, this technology counteracts the insulative effects of foam and textiles, constantly moving heat away from the body. The Company
invested in a new business development position to support the body armour market in the beginning of the second half of the year. Sales began
in 2H FY22 and strong adoption is expected in both the bedding and body armour markets in FY23.
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. Customers are finalising their mattress designs
incorporating our PCM and Eclipsys products. First sales started in 2H FY22 with the customer products expected to be launched in 2H FY23.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Alexiflam® treated Sock for Foam Mattresses: This initiative applies the Company’s FR product to a cotton-based mattress sock to provide a flame-
retardant barrier in foam mattresses. Although adoption has been slow, the Company has made successful production runs with customers in the
US with these customers actively marketing these products. The Company continues to leverage current customer relationships to penetrate the
market.
Alexiflam® for Military Uniforms: Application of this product to military uniforms helps to protect a broader number of military personnel not just
those in high-risk scenarios. The Company has recently been working directly with the US Army to provide rolls of treated fabric for evaluation and
limited trials.
Financing: In April 2022, the Company has entered an asset-based line of credit with Alterna Capital Solutions to provide working capital funding to
support the Company’s growth. The facility is a three-year $3.0M asset-based line of credit which can be increased to $5.0M with the approval of
Alterna Capital Solutions as needed. This line will support the Company’s growth initiatives for commercialisation of thermal management and flame-
retardant products in new end-product markets. The interest rate is adjustable with a fixed base of 5.0% plus the US prime lending rate published
in the Wall Street Journal which at the end of July 2022 was 5.5% for a total annual rate of 10.5%. The borrowing base of the line of credit consists
of 90% of eligible accounts receivable plus a calculated portion of inventory which, among other factors, will not exceed 50% of eligible inventory.
COVID-19: In FY22, significant restrictions were lifted in the US relating to COVID-19. The Company removed its strict check-in policy for employees
once vaccinations for most of the population were voluntarily confirmed and the Company continues to follow US CDC guidelines to safeguard
employees. The Company has continued communication with its toll manufacturers regarding COVID-19 to ensure there aren’t any production-
related delays and to ensure safe interactions with our employees. The commercial group resumed full travel schedules to customers where they
were permitted to be on-site. Furthermore, there were no disruptions to the operations of the business due to employee-related COVID-19 issues.
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. Management does not believe
there are any impairment indications directly related to COVID-19. Further, no expected credit losses are recognised, and year-end customer
receivables are considered fully collectable.
Skilled Labour: The US unemployment remained very low throughout the year. The skills needed for positions within the Company are typically
related to the sciences and administrative functions. The company did not have any issues filling vacancies throughout the year.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Alexium is built on a foundation of providing innovative, sustainable, and non-toxic solutions to our commercial partners and consumers. We take
responsibility for our impact on the environment and human welfare seriously and are dedicated to exceeding industry standards for safety and
environmental sustainability. Being a leader in innovation comes with the duty to guide our industry to employ higher standards of ethics, social
responsibility and corporate governance while continuing to set the framework for environmentally conscious solutions. The board recognises the
importance of formally integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into our daily operations and as such, is committed to
implementing a transparent, data driven program to help identify opportunities to align our business activities with these values. As we move
forward, we will issue policy statements and establish comprehensive reporting to ensure compliance with ESG standards.
Financial Result Overview
The Company’s net loss attributable to members of the Company for the financial year was $3,360,271 (2021: $1,445,319). This represents an 132%
increase in net loss over the prior period. If the current year net loss was adjusted for the intangible impairment of $1,026,377 the normalised net
loss would have been $2,333,894 and if the prior period net loss was adjusted for the nonrecurring item of the US PPP loan forgiveness of $928,780
the prior year normalised net loss would have been $2,374,099 resulting in a year over year reduction in net loss of $40,205.
Revenues from ordinary operating activities increased 12% from the prior year at $8,174,937 (2021: $7,276,399). Revenue in the first half of the
year was very strongly driven by the commercialisation of the new BioCool™ product line coupled with a new bedding product launch from a
customer. The Company also increased our market share at certain customers. The activity in the second half of the year was down significantly
from the first half due to a decline in US retail market conditions negatively impacting bedding market sales as consumer confidence weakened amid
ongoing inflation concerns.
Gross profit increased 26% year over year at $3,329,715 (2021: $2,641,907) while the gross margin percentage increased by more than four points
to 40.7% (2020: 36.3%). These increases are attributable to increased market share of BioCool™, favourable positioning on certain product raw
materials and increased economies of scale on products.
Operating expenses increased 23% at $6,604,186 (2021: $5,377,173). The net change of $1,227,013 was mainly due to an impairment of $1,026,377
for two intangible assets related to the flame-retardant product line. The Company continues to remain positive with respect to the business
potential of the flame-retardant product line based on its ongoing discussions with potential customers and market analysis. The impairment
recognised has been approved by management for compliance with accounting standards. Refer to note 12 of the financial statements for further
details. Excluding this impairment, operating expenses would have increased by 4% or $200,636.
Interest expense at $776,042 (2021: $681,865) reflects an increase of $94,177 or 14%. Of the total increase, $84,769 is related to the amortisation
of the effective interest on the term loan. There was a gain on the embedded derivative related to the term loan of $688,060 (2021: $1,043,912)
because of the revaluation.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
As at the reporting date, the cash position was $1,027,095 (2021: $2,932,673). Cash changes were primarily from normal operating and investing
activities.
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. The Company recognises that it must not only develop these products but protect the
technology underlying them through a sophisticated patent registration program. The management team predominantly focuses on patent
protection to safeguard the Company’s intellectual property with key composition/application patent applications filed for each technology
platform. To ensure adequate protection provided by these, market analyses are performed to ensure protection is afforded in the relevant regions
for the applicable markets.
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 those of competitors; 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 the expansion of its
customer base.
Rising Interest Rates: As of the end of July, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates four times in 2022 for a total change of 225 basis points. The
Company is impacted by these types of rate hikes on the interest it pays for the line of credit agreement. Based on forecasted cash flow models this
will not create a significant impact to the company in the foreseeable future. The Company also closely monitors receivables to ensure expected
payments are being made timely to minimize the need to borrow funds.
Inflation: US inflation, at its highest level since 1981, could cause consumer spending to decrease on discretionary spending for items such as
mattresses. Conversely, we see resilience in the top-of-bed segment of the bedding market due to the lower price points of these products versus
mattresses.
Covid-19 Impact: COVID-19 presents business challenges due to the uncertainty of long-term impacts 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 strengthen supply chain resiliency and protect employee and stakeholder interests.
Ukraine/Russia Conflict: The company does not have customers nor suppliers within the region of the conflict and does not believe there is a direct
impact of this conflict upon the company’s ability to pursue its goals and strategies.
Likely Developments
The Company is committed to:
• Continued commercialisation of the BioCool™ product line which is USDA BioPreferred certified
• Work with US Army to qualify FR NyCo technology for military uniforms
• Continued commercialisation of the Eclipsys™ product line in bedding and body armour
• Generating first revenues from Alexiflam® FR Sock
• Significant revenue growth with the achievement of a sustained 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
• Maintaining a disciplined and conservative approach to managing expenditures relative to sales growth.

The Company’s operations are currently located solely in the United States, and as such are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation
under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory in Australia. The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse
and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use.
US Laws concerning the environment that affect or could affect our operations include, among others, the Clean Water Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act,
regulations promogulated under these Acts, and other federal, state, and local laws or regulations governing environmental matters. We believe
that the Company complies with these laws and that future compliance will not materially affect our earnings or competitive position.
A key feature of the Company’s product portfolio is its environmentally friendly nature. This focus ensures that there is a positive impact to the
environmental standing of its customers whenever they choose to use the Company’s products as part of their ultimate products. Additionally, the

The objective of the Company’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive, appropriate for the stage of
development of the Company and the results delivered and to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced candidates. The Remuneration

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 Mr Dennis (Chair)
Brigadier General Cheney, Mr Moore, and Mrs Garnon.
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 directors’ 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 where applicable.
Executive Remuneration Policy
The Company’s Managing Director and Executives remuneration packages contain the following key elements:
• Primary benefits – base salary, short-term incentives, post-employment contributions and medical benefit plan for US based executives.
• Long term incentives – performance rights and share appreciation rights under the Company’s Performance Rights Plan and Share
Appreciation Rights Share Plan.
External remuneration information provides benchmark information to ensure remuneration is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base
fees are reviewed annually to ensure the level is competitive with the market. There is no guaranteed salary increase included.
C. Consequence on Shareholder Wealth

On appointment, the Non-Executive Directors enter into an agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter outlines
the Board’s policies and terms, including remuneration relevant to the office of director. Non-Executive directors are compensated for their
contributions to the board and any committees they lead or serve. These agreements can be terminated without cause by either party at any time.
The Company has also entered into service agreements with executives, which contain standard terms and conditions for agreements of this nature,
including confidentiality, restraint on competition and intellectual property provisions. These agreements may be terminated with six months’ notice
by either party, or earlier in the event of certain breaches of the terms and conditions. The Company may at its sole discretion terminate the
employment without cause by giving six months written notice or making a payment of six months’ salary in lieu of notice. Remuneration is reviewed
annually and approved by the Board of Directors and includes potential short-term and long-term incentive opportunities as well as salary and other

In the prior period, a share appreciation rights plan (“SAR”) was adopted and approved by the Directors. The expense is recognised over the vesting period based on the originally calculated
Monte Carlo option valuation model value. Providing the vesting conditions are met, the plan entitles an employee to a payment of an amount which is calculated based on the increase in
value, over a three-year period, of a stated number of shares.
Vesting Conditions:
(a)
25% compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) on the opening share price over of a three-year term. Opening price is determined as the 20-day volume weighted average price
(“VWAP”) from the lodgement of the annual report. Fully vested target price is defined as the 20-day VWAP from lodgement of the annual report three years after. Partial vesting begins
at 10% CAGR and pays 33% of the total SAR grants. CAGR achieved between 10% and 25% vest SAR grants on a linear scale between 33% and 100%.
Continued employment through the vesting date.
(b)
Vested Rights:
(a)
(b)
Participants are entitled to the amount by which the closing share price exceeds the opening share price.
Shares will be issued in the amount equal to the value in (a) divided by the share closing share price.
Options:
No options were granted to KMPs during the reportable financial years. The movement in the number of options held by KMPs, including
their personally related parties, are set out below:

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS
During the reporting period, the Company paid a premium in respect to a contract insuring the Directors and Officers of the Company against
potential liabilities incurred as a director or officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Due to a confidentiality clause in the
policy, the amount of the premium has not been disclosed.
The potential liabilities insured against are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against
the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with
such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a willful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the
officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the Company. It is not possible
to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the economic
entity, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the entity is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the entity for all or part
of those proceedings. No proceedings have been brought or intervened in or on behalf of the entity with leave of the Court under section 237 of the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statements of Alexium International Group Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) for the year ended
30 June 2022 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26 August 2022. Alexium International Group Limited
(‘Parent’) is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities
Exchange under the ticker AJX. These financial statements include the consolidated financial statements and notes of Alexium International Group
Limited and its controlled entities. This financial report, the comparative period within, and all future financial reports, are presented in US Dollars.
This presentation aligns the Company’s financial reporting with the nature of the business operations which primarily occur in the United States.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting
Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
The Company is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies
that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events, and
conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Material accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements
have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable by the measurement at fair value.
(b) New and amended standards adopted by the Company in this financial report
There were no new or revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that were adopted by the Company that are relevant to its
operations and effective for the reporting period.
(c) Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Company
Several new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2022 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Company
has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. For future reporting purposes, the
Company has reviewed the new and amended standards and they are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(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 with 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 considers 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.
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.
ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED
20
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
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 will 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 currency of the subsidiary is 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
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 in 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 statement of comprehensive income is translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. All resulting
exchange differences are recognised in 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.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
(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
The Company recognises all lease liabilities and corresponding right of use assets, except for short-term (12 months or less) and low value leases, on
the balance sheet. The assets and liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments using the Company’s incremental
borrowing rate unless the interest rate implicit in the lease can be readily determined. The Company recognises depreciation of leased assets and
interest on lease liabilities over the term of the lease.
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
Expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense as incurred.
Expenditures on the research phase of projects to develop new specialty chemicals are 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 or 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. The useful life of ready for use development
assets is estimated at five years. Amortisation charges are included as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
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 as profit or loss. Intangible assets useful lives are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Amortisation is
charged on assets with finite lives with the expense taken into 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 accordingly.
ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
(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 the recoverable amount or fully impairs the asset to Nil based on conservatism and an assessment
of market value on the assumption no changes are made to the asset. 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 assesses 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 Company 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 applies AASB 8 Operating Segments that requires a ‘management
approach’ of reporting segment information 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.
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
• their contractual terms 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
ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED
23
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
and interest, all financial assets in the periods presented 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 is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets
• their contractual terms 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. In the periods presented, the
Company does not have any financial assets categorised as FVOCI.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with AASB 9, 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 (i.e. Stage 1) while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the
second category (i.e. Stage 2).
Measurement of the expected credit losses measurement is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life
of the 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 assesses impairment of trade receivables on a collective
basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics and they have been grouped based on the days past due.
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
in a way like a stand-alone 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. The transfer is complete when the “FOB Shipping Point” Incoterms are satisfied at the shipping point
which in turn completes the performance obligation.
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 party’s rights and commitments, determination of payment terms, presence of commercial
substance and a probability that the 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, 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.
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;
• 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
ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED
25
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
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 in 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.
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 accumulated 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
ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED
26
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
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 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. 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 16.
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. For assets
not yet ready for use, management estimate the fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD). To estimate the FVLCD, management applies the cost
replacement model whereby an estimate is made of all costs required in current market conditions to produce a similar product. With respect to
ready for use assets, 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.
(x) Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern basis of accounting which contemplates the continuity of normal
business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group incurred a loss after tax attributable to members of $3,360,271 (2021: $1,445,319). The Group incurred negative cash flows from
operations and investing activities of $1,926,395 for the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: negative $2,273,318).
The Group has current assets of $3,295,871 (2021: $5,599,198) which exceed current liabilities of $1,113,301 (2021: $1,973,744)
The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Group will continue as a going concern and be able to pay its debts as and when they
fall due after consideration of the following mitigating matters:
•
•
•
•
the Group has performed a cash flow forecast and determined that it has or will have access to adequate cash resources to fund its operations
for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements
the Group expects to have continued access to working capital facilities to support cash needs and expected growth in revenues
the Group has an expectation that the term loan facility maturing in December 2023 will be negotiated to either extend the term or convert
the outstanding balance to equity, upon obtaining relevant shareholder approvals
the Group, if required, has the ability to raise additional funds on a timely basis pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Listing Rules
and the Directors believe the Group would be able to continue to source equity or alternative funding if required
ALEXIUM INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED
27
NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
•
the Group expects to successfully convert current commercialisation efforts to future revenue and cash receipts to support the fixed base of
expenditures
Should the above not eventuate or are not able to be resolved in the Group’s favour, then there will be a material uncertainty regarding the ability
of the Group to continue as a going concern and pay its debts and obligations as and when they become due and payable.
If the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal
course of business at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or to the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group
not continue as a going concern.

No income tax is payable by the Company. 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 $73,342,581 (2021: $64,480,646) 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.

Impairment testing for intangible assets
Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or more frequently when an indication of impairment
arises during the reporting period. 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. The 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 has used a fair value less costs of disposal
approach. The fair value has been calculated using a replacement costs approach.
For assets ready for use and being amortised, management has assessed for indicators of impairment, which include considerations of external and
internal sources of information. Based on our assessment no indicators of impairment were identified for all the development assets except in the
case of two product lines for which the following indicators were noted:
1) Ability to sell / generate future economic benefits
2) Change in market rates potentially resulting in reduced carrying values
•
•
As such, for these asset classes, a fair value assessment was carried out based on a Relief from Royalty Method (RRM) model. The following are the
key assumptions used in the expected RRM model:
A post tax discount rate of 20%
Revenue from commercialisation commencing in the 2022 and 2023 financial years and increasing over the five-year forecast period at
growth rates between 100% and 25%
Probability weighted scenarios between 10% to 75% with respect to the success of commercialisation efforts
A royalty relief rate of 5%
Taxable rate of 30%
•
•
•
Based on the above, impairment was identified as the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount.
Management believes that these assets are commercially viable and when contracts are entered into with customers and as such economic benefits
may be realised in the future. The Group will continue pursuing opportunities to commercialise these assets. Given the recoverable amount as at
the balance date has been determined to be lower than the carrying amount and the remaining carrying amount would be negligible, an impairment
to adjust recoverable amount to zero has been recorded. The impairment loss of $1,026,377 has been recognised in the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income in the current period.

The Company leases its corporate office which includes laboratories and a warehouse under one agreement. This facility is used for administration,
research and operational activities and has a remaining lease term of 5.25 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.

(a) Convertible note
On 24 December 2019, the Company entered into a convertible note, secured by the Company’s assets, with an institutional lender. The $3.5M
(A$5.15M) note carries a four-year term. Originally, the note provided for a 6.0% annual interest rate with coupon interest payments due quarterly.
However, the terms of the note were changed in Q4 FY2022 so that the accrued coupon interest is now due at the maturity of the loan in exchange
for an additional 2% in interest payable to the lender. Therefore, the accrued interest is now classified as a long-term liability. The note is convertible
into ordinary shares at A$0.075 per share at the holder’s discretion and with shareholder approval.
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 value over the remaining life of the note will increase to the face value of $3.5M.

(b) Line of Credit
The Company entered into a three-year line of credit agreement on 05 Apr 2022 with Alterna Capital Solutions to provide working capital funding.
The facility is a three-year $3.0M asset-based facility which can be increased to $5.0M with the approval of the lender. The borrowing base of the
line of credit consists of 90% of eligible accounts receivable plus a calculated portion of inventory which, among other factors, will not exceed 50%
of eligible inventory.
The fund usage interest rate at execution of the agreement was 8.25% and adjusts with upward changes in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. The
applicable interest rate at 30 June 2022 was 9.75%.
Costs incurred to obtain financing are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the financing facility. The unamortised
deferred financing costs are shown as a reduction of the carrying value of the related debt. The amortisation expense was $4K (2021: nil) and is
included in interest expense.

(c) 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 spot price
(A$0.024), risk-free rate (3.58%), remaining term (1.5 years) and volatility (93.4%).

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
(b) Interest rate risk
At the reporting period end date, if interest rates had increased by 1% from the year end variable rates with all other variables held constant, after-
tax profit and equity for the Company would have increased by $10,271 (2021: $29,327) 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
A large proportion of the Company’s revenues, cash inflows, other expenses, capital expenditure and commitments are denominated in US dollars
with smaller, less frequent transactions in Australian dollars. Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value of 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 US dollar reporting currency. With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in the Australian dollar may impact
the Company’s financial results.
(d) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the Company’s financial assets which is comprised of trade receivables. 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
(2021 Nil). The Company does not currently have any significant debtors, lending, stock levels or any other credit risk, and, therefore, 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.

(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.
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.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 June 2022
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:
