The Company finishes the Period in a healthy financial position, with $5.85m in cash, minimal debt and a $1m provision for the R&D Tax Incentive. The Company is pleased to report on the key highlights for FY16: • Completion of the ASX listing as Alcidion Group Limited (ASX: ALC). • Deployment of three new products (Clinic, Best Practice Orders Sets and Access Bed Management) to paid beta site customer environments. • Deployment of our Critical Test Results Management technology across the NT. • Strengthened our relationship with Fujifilm Australia securing additional sales of the intelligent Cardiovascular Information System (iCVIS). • Development of a cloud based Data Acquisition Technology for the National Echocardiogram Database of Australia. • Appointment of Resapp Health co-founder Mr. Brian Leedman to the Board. Additionally, after the close of FY16, we announced that we had entered into a MoU with Western Health for a five year, $2.35m contract signifying the transition of our Patient Flow and Bed Management Solutions from pilot installation to commercial deployment. In FY16, the Company invested $2.24m in Research and Development. Alcidion made significant progress over the course of the Period in the adoption of industry standard technologies into its Miya Platform and Integration Engine. The move to standardise these technologies has resulted in substantial efficiency gains in the Company’s software development and has seen a substantial decrease in the cost of deployment. 6 Chairman’s Letter Dear Fellow Shareholders, Alcidion Group Limited (Alcidion or Company) is pleased to present its Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 (FY16 or Period). Alcidion is focussed on anticipating the needs of the health care industry and we are focused on accelerating the commercialization of our innovative technologies that help create a healthier tomorrow, today. Our mission remains to help our clients achieve, and sustain, high performance hospital services – by utilising our intelligent software to transform and improve patient care, staff productivity and service performance. The core of Alcidion’s business model is to create intellectual property in the form of Clinical Decision Support software (CDSS) to improve the quality of care for all patients and improve the productivity of clinicians and care teams. On 29 February 2016, the Company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) via a reverse takeover of Naracoota Resources Limited. For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 “This has skyrocketed the efficiency in patient care as well as the safety” Professor Tissa Wijerante Consulting Neurologist Director of the Stroke & Neuroscience Unit While Alcidion is an early stage technology Company, it maintains an ambition to rapidly grow its revenue by leveraging its technical developments, leveraging selected M&A opportunities, and targeting significant new markets, such as North America and New Zealand. Yours faithfully, Mr. Raymond Blight B Tech, B Ec, MBM, FIE (Aust), FAICD Chief Executive Officer & Chairman Alcidion Group Limited Alcidion invested $1.5m in developing a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) platform, in the form of a Best Practice Pathology Ordering platform that automates the electronic ordering of pathology tests for Emergency Department physicians. With the strong position afforded by the Company’s financial, technological and corporate achievements of 2016, the Company is poised to target the following milestones by 30 June 2017: • Preparation for our planned North American expansion in 2018. • Deployment of cloud based, low cost, product modules. • Establish reference customers in each state in Australia and New Zealand. • Engage Private Hospital Groups in Australia and New Zealand. • Forge Strategic Partnerships with healthcare technology partners. 7 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Fundamentally, Alcidion was born out of passion for a better healthcare system – and who better placed to enact this vision, than the former Chief Executive of South Australia Health and former Chair of the Australian Health Ministers’ Advisory Council, Mr Ray Blight. It is this conviction that Alcidion’s product portfolio, based upon the Miya Clinical Decision Support and Smartform technology, hold the promise for a better tomorrow, a fundamental paradigm shift that will result in national savings in healthcare mounting into the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Australia is struggling to combat issues such as escalating healthcare costs, poor or inconsistent quality of healthcare, rapid expansion in healthcare insurance, and changing healthcare reform mandates These are understandably strong words, making bold claims – but Alcidion is a bold company. Already, The Department of Health in Tasmania and the Department of Health in the Northern Territory are systemically deploying Alcidion’s technology. Miya Smartforms will play a pivotal role in addressing these Business Strategy In this, the first public Annual Report of Alcidion Group Limited, we will start with an overview of the Alcidion advanced health informatics software business. Australia is struggling to combat issues such as escalating healthcare costs, poor or inconsistent quality of healthcare, rapid expansion in healthcare insurance, and changing healthcare reform mandates. These issues are further exacerbated by growing consumerism, globalization, changing demographics, lifestyles, and growing incidences of diseases that are expensive to treat. Resolving these issues is a daunting task faced by healthcare stakeholders, highlighting the need for proactive, collaborative, and systemic models. Several initiatives and healthcare reforms have been developed in order to support the adoption and implementation of CDSS solutions. Healthcare IT solutions such as Electronic Health Record (EHR), Clinical Decision Support systems, Computerized Physicians Order Entry (CPOE) and others have emerged as lucrative solutions to counter the increasing healthcare cost and manage scattered patient data. Although, the adoption of Healthcare IT (HCIT) is slower than expected, factors such as healthcare reforms, unprecedented investments in healthcare IT, and government initiatives to promote implementation of HCIT solutions will reshape the healthcare system. Moreover, the deployment of the clinical information system on the cloud model will further add significant value to healthcare systems, thereby reducing healthcare costs and enhancing the opportunity to integrate healthcare systems. challenges, by bringing key clinical information to the clinician in a way that highlights key risks. By using structured clinical data, Miya Smartforms can use patient and clinical context to improve the signal to noise ratio. The Miya platform has been designed to present relevant data to highlight clinical risks, not extraneous data. This in turn, can present the medical and clinical risk data and provide relevant guidance as to the best care options. The clinician still makes the decision, but once they have done so Miya can track the implementation of the decision. Almost diametrically opposed to the pressure of reducing operational expenditure within the Australian healthcare system, is the requirement to improve the quality of care for all Australians. 8 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 “You’ll see nearly all of the clinical, executive and divisional directors walking around with the bed management views on their iPads, and the same with the bed management staff, the quality managers, the NUMs and any staff that help move the patients around.” Executive Director of ICT, Western Health Jason Whakaari 9 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 The Australian health care system has many excellent attributes but it has many problems that remain unresolved: Alcidion Solutions Alcidion’s software solutions apply clinical knowledge to pertinent clinical data and deliver • Thousands of preventable deaths and at the point of care clinical guidance and iatrogenic injuries each year. clinical decision support. Alcidion aims to • 5-10% of hospital budgets consumed in - reduce the clinician’s risk exposure and fixing iatrogenic injury. improve patient outcomes with less clinician • High demand on Emergency Departments time at the computer and more with the and inpatient services. patient. • Wide variation between best evidence and clinical practice. • Clinical workforce shortages and recruitment/retention problems. • More clinician time needed to process greater volumes of clinical data. • Poor management of clinical risk and associated litigation risk. • Over reliance on human memory and pen and paper control systems. • Inability to adequately capture Clinical Coding Data for insurance claims. Alcidion technology focuses on the clinical decision and assembles the pertinent clinical data for such events: highlighting clinical risk and guiding clinicians in delivering evidence based medicine. The platform provides for the automation of complex clinical processes – it prompts standardized patient pathways at the point of care and makes it easy for clinicians to customise a process to the needs of their patient. Alcidion’s CDSS platform: According to the Australian Patient Safety • Eliminates missed test results. Foundation, Iatrogenic injury is costly; at least • Promote a team approach to managing key 10% of admissions to acute-care hospitals in clinical information. Australia are associated with a preventable adverse event. It has been estimated that the direct medical costs of these events exceeds $4 billion per year and that the total life-time cost of such preventable injury may be twice that amount; there is also a heavy toll in human costs on both those who are harmed and those who care for them. There are ethical, humanitarian and financial imperatives to find out what is going wrong, collate and analyse the information and devise and implement strategies to better detect, manage and prevent these problems. Failure to do this will result in escalating costs, as the factors contributing to iatrogenic injury will become more prevalent, not less, in the coming years. • Provide fast access to risk rated results, with all elements of the assay risk rated. • Access to all digital results at the point of care (Pathology, Radiology, Digital ECG). Alcidion’s mission is to help our customers achieve, and sustain, high performance hospital services – by using our intelligent software to transform and improve patient care, staff productivity and service performance. What do we mean by intelligent software? Our software works 24/7 in the background, continually processing patient data to build clinical intelligence that will help clinicians/care teams to make the best possible clinical decision for a patient, as soon as possible, and preferably at the point of care. Our intelligent software is focused on the Clinical Decision Support space: this is because the clinical decision drives many important factors in care 10 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Alcidion’s intelligent software is able to monitor clinical risk against clinical standards, detect emerging clinical risk in clinical data sources, escalate the risk exposure to the care team and provide guidance on clinical risk management according to approved best practice clinical guidelines. How does Alcidion software transform staff productivity? By making it easier for staff to get the information they need to assess, monitor and manage patient clinical risk, giving them a time savings every time they use Alcidion software. Staff satisfaction flows from using software that makes it easier for them to give the right care, first time: this contributes to motivated, less stressed staff, satisfied with doing a great job. delivery such as quality of clinical outcomes, patient safety, cost of service and so on. Without intelligent software, clinicians have to remember where patient data may be found, go to some effort to try and retrieve it, most likely be bombarded with data that is not germane to the problem they are dealing with, and then sort through the dumped data to find that which is useful to them, at that point in time. The purpose of Alcidion’s intelligent software is to automatically push high value, clinical intelligence to the care team (a hand’s off approach) which is in contrast to the majority of health IT systems wherein clinicians have to know what they are looking for and figure out how to pull it from one or more data sources (hands on). How does Alcidion software transform patient care? Simply put, by making the patient journey safer by reducing the preventable errors that lead to death and injury. Alcidion’s intelligent software is able to monitor clinical risk against clinical standards, detect emerging clinical risk in clinical data sources, Preventable errors arise when a patient’s clinical risk is not monitored, goes un-noticed and/or is poorly managed. 11 For personal use only How does Alcidion software transform service performance? Accountability for overall hospital performance sits with hospital executives, who are held accountable against a variety of KPI’s, some of which are similar across both public and private sectors (for example, length of stay in hospital). Alcidion has seen an opportunity to leverage the highly granular clinical and logistics data generated from within its Patient Flow solution too present KPI feedback for both performance monitoring and performance management. Alcidion will continue to work with customers to build the hard evidence of performance improvement in costs, service quality and efficiency. In summary, the Alcidion business is the supply of advanced health informatics to turbo charge hospitals towards high performance – safer, faster, more efficient and effective services. During the period, Alcidion has added major new products into its health informatics software arsenal and each of them is in, or will shortly be in, a paid beta site deployment. On top of the existing product set, they will provide additional sales ammunition going forward in pursuit of accelerated revenue growth. As these hospital focused products are maturing in the market place, Alcidion will research the morphing of our hospital based products into services/products to supply high performance health care in the out-of-hospital sector. Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Miya Platform At the heart of Alcidion’s software, is an advanced, health informatics platform to deliver clinical decision support into the Alcidion product line – Miya Platform. Hospitals are built upon an eco-system of disparate Clinical Information Systems (CIS), workflows are inherently complex and fluctuate based on each patient’s differential diagnosis and modality. Alcidion’s Miya Platform integrates disparate CIS and is able to assemble, keep up to date and present in real time, a package of data that is then used to build clinical intelligence to support better care whilst Patients are in the hospital. This clinical intelligence is focused on detecting and mitigating patient clinical risk and is pushed to the clinicians and care teams via continuum of devices, from large format digital displays through web browsers through to mobile devices. 12 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Co-Founder, Prof. Malcolm Pradhan studied medicine at the University of Adelaide and obtained a PhD in Medical Informatics from Stanford University, CA. and the information available for the individual patient is multidisciplinary, imprecise and very often incomplete. This is further complicated with a rising level of co-morbidities systemically across the population — an ever increasing level of patient complexity, with a rapidly expanding global population. Simply put — the current healthcare system will be unsustainable by the end of the next decade and we must adopt technological solutions to be able to produce a broader range of effective, high quality services with fewer human resources. The core of our business model is the creation of intellectual property in the form of CDSS software developed to improve the quality of care for all patients and to dramatically improve the productivity of clinicians and care teams. Our software is bundled with other technologies and services to create complete clinical and business solutions for health care providers. In short, we build, sell, deliver, run and support solutions for health care provider organizations around the Australia and New Zealand. Clinical Decision Support Over the past decade, Alcidion has invested in excess of $18.60m in the Research & Development of the cutting edge Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that is embedded in the Miya Platform suite. The rationale for this investment being the strong signs of maturing market interest in the need for CDSS. For example, beginning from 2016, the US Federal Government will progressively reduce funding to hospitals that have not adopted and deployed this technology. As a result, IndustryARC estimates that the CDSS market will grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 21.5% from $USD1.18b to $USD4.65b by the end of the decade. The work of healthcare professionals and clinicians is largely a world of making decisions and solving problems. It is a world of choosing issues that require attention, setting goals, finding and designing suitable courses of action and evaluating and choosing among alternative actions. Clinicians must choose from and interpret a myriad of clinical data, while facing pressure to decrease uncertainty, risks to patients and costs. The true essence of healthcare delivery is decision making — what information to gather, which tests to order, how to interpret and integrate this information into diagnostic hypotheses and what treatments to administer. Despite great steps forward, however, uncertainty still plays a pivotal role in most aspects of medical decision making. This uncertainty is compounded by the information overload that characterises modern medicine. Today's clinician needs close to 2 million pieces of information to practice medicine and doctors subscribe to an average of seven journals, representing over 2,500 new articles each year, making it impossible to keep abreast with the latest information about diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and related health issues. Furthermore, the interpretation of patient data is difficult and complicated, due to the mainly because the required expert knowledge in each of many different medical fields is enormous 13 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Alcidion Product Portfolio Computerized Physician Order Entry In FY16 Alcidion invested $1.5m developing a Computerized Physician Order Entry platform, in the form of a Best Practice Pathology Ordering product that automates the electronic ordering of pathology for Emergency Department (ED) physicians. guidelines published jointly by the Australian College of Emergency Medicine and Australian College of Pathologists. After an extensive, global market survey, they chose Alcidion to partner with to develop this advanced technology, specifically tuned to the Australian environment. Alcidion has delivered the software to NT Health and is awaiting a two- way data feed to a third party Laboratory Miya Orders streamlines the Emergency Department workflow by providing guidance to physicians on the most clinically appropriate pathology tests for a patient, depending on the patient’s clinical presentation. One of Alcidion’s long standing customers, the Northern Territory Department of Health (NT Health), saw the need for electronic ordering of pathology tests from the ED, with the test orders being controlled by the recently released Best Practice ED Pathology Ordering clinical Information System to be commissioned by Northern Territory Health Department, before production operation gets underway. NT Health (Royal Darwin ED and Alice Springs ED) will be a significant reference site for further Best Practice Order Set sales and deployments in Australia and New Zealand. 14 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 This product is an excellent example of the application of the Miya Platform to real life, clinical decision support – the essence of the Miya product set. The build of the product was commissioned by NT Health and having cleared Alcidion internal Factory Acceptance Testing, the product was delivered to NT Health for their User Acceptance Testing in March 2016, with an expected “go live” date of November 2016. Miya Orders streamlines the Emergency Department workflow by providing guidance to physicians on the most clinically appropriate pathology tests for a patient, depending on the patient’s clinical presentation. The guidance is in accordance with best practice clinical guidelines as published by the Australia College of Emergency Physicians and College of Pathologists. The product provides numerous benefits including the reduction in inappropriate, clinically irrelevant, wasteful and unnecessarily expensive tests. It reduces clinical variation in ED pathology ordering, historically a source of preventable errors in health care, and can dramatically reduce the time to treatment in the ED by allowing the safe ordering of pathology earlier in the patient’s ED episode. In addition, ED staff are able to see the status of orders and identify workflow problems that may affect the timely delivery of lab results and overall patient flow. The technology also asks junior physicians to justify ordering unusual tests which will also reduce the number of high cost unnecessary tests. The unnecessarily high costs of pathology ordering in Australian & New Zealand hospitals is a key reform target for the Commonwealth and State Governments. A preview of the Miya ED Mobile Platform, scheduled to be launched in 2017 15 For personal use only Patient Flow and Access Management This recently released product set is another example of a customer driven search for truly innovative solutions to intractable problems. After a global survey of patient flow systems by an Executive member, including visits to the US and UK, Western Health was allocated a Victorian Government Department of Business and Innovation Grant to identify an SME that could build a proof of concept of a new generation of patient flow system. Alcidion competed for this opportunity and was awarded a $1.5m contract to build a proof of concept of an intelligent Patient Flow System. The proof of concept work went so well that Western Health decided to put their own money into funding Alcidion to put Patient Flow solution into production operation across the three hospitals and 30 wards making up the Western Health service. This was followed by a commission for Alcidion to extend the Patient Flow system with an Access and Bed Management module that leverages data from the Patient Flow system to support the optimal allocation of the hospital bed stock to achieve the most efficient use of resources, in accordance with patient clinical priorities. This has been another example of an Alcidion customer selecting the Company to execute on highly innovative product development via a paid beta development process, which has carried forward to the delivery and production implementation of new, advanced products. Miya Clinic Miya Clinic is a new product for managing outpatient services that was completed earlier this year and has gone into a paid beta site deployment in the Northern Integrated Care Service in Launceston, Tasmania. Miya Clinic allows clinicians working in outpatient departments to effectively triage and track patients in the Outpatient Department. Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 It provides sophisticated tools that help to manage the patient's treatment from referral through to discharge and ensures that patient receive best practice, high quality care, and reduces clinical risk. Miya Referrals Miya Referrals allows clerical staff and clinicians to manage the processing, clinical triage and wait-listing of referrals electronically. Many outpatient departments rely on manual processes and ad-hoc spreadsheet based solutions to track the various stages of referral management from receipt through to wait listing. Miya Referrals has re-imagined a high performance referral management system. Miya Referrals v1.0 was based around management of referrals within some pre-set states – which was not flexible enough for broader market appeal. Miya Referrals includes the following innovations: • Smart Filters – which allow outpatient departments to define customised lists of referrals based on any attribute of the referral. This allows customers to match referrals directly to their workflow. • Organisation Structure – referrals can be grouped by any part of the organisation, and can be rolled up to groupings of services if required, allowing referrals to be managed by specialist teams, or in a central referral list model, or both, if required. • Fax integration, including referral splitting – allowing outpatient departments to deal with clinical risks associated with multiple documents for different patients being sent as a single fax transmission • Decision Support – Outpatient Department staff are provided with lists of referrals to prevent duplicates being created, reducing time spent processing referrals. 16 For personal use only Turbocharging other Vendor’s Software Alcidion has responded to three approaches by external businesses to build specific solutions for them to take to market as their products. These are described below. • FujiFilm Australia (FFA): Alcidion has built the intelligent Cardiovascular Information System (iCVIS) for FFA and after completion of the initial Luminary Site installation at the Western Health public hospital network in Melbourne, will now support FFA to achieve sales and installations across the FFA customer base. There are currently seven prospects being actively worked on in the iCVIS Sales pipeline. The FFA iCVIS solution won the National iAwards health category in 2014. • Vaper Trail: Alcidion was commissioned to build a Specialist Anaesthetic Practice support system for a large practice in Adelaide and is now operational in a second large Adelaide practice and a Newcastle practice Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 service to assist Australian members with post hospital coaching and out-of-hospital services to ensure members remain well and avoid a re-admission to hospital. “FUJIFILM Australia identified a need in the cardiovascular market to improve cardiology care and analysis using smart clinical informatics software, with the aim of improving workflows, clinician efficiency and patient safety and reducing workplace stress for Clinicians. We couldn’t be more proud in winning the National iAward for the iCVIS platform – a testimony to the power of working with smart Australian vendors, such as Alcidion, and leveraging their world class technology” FUJIFILM Australia General Manager Mr Eric Lebail. • Remedy: A division of Australian Unity commissioned Alcidion to build a software solution to support a telephony based 17 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Commercialising the Platform Alcidion is an early stage Company with plans to achieve rapid revenue growth by leveraging the past years of technical effort and investment in the Miya Platform and the maturation of several major (paid) beta site deployments that are transitioning into production reference sites. This progress is exemplified by our Melbourne based customer, Western Health Network where the organisation has transitioned from a paid beta deployment site to a commercial installation based on a three-year agreement with an option to extend in years four and five. There will continue to be a R&D effort to keep the Platform current and to complete toolset capabilities such as configuration tools and editing tools for customer usage. But in general terms the Company effort will swing way from heavy R&D investment into a heavy sales and marketing, and business development, effort. The rapid growth will come from several sources: • Organic business growth driven through our commercialization strategy, initially targeting Australia New Zealand for short term sales and North American market entry in the medium term. • Growth through M&A, targeting businesses in the health space with a complementary customer base and a technology/product line that would offer significant Alcidion product upselling. • Expanding the method of platform delivery beyond the historical internal deployment model to a cloud based option. Commercialisation will be further accelerated through a focussed sales and marketing effort to systematically engage with the continuum of hospital providers (private and public), health authorities, key healthcare consulting companies and strategic partnerships with major Health IT players. Product Opportunity Leveraging the Cloud & Deep Learning The maturing of cloud computing technologies offers significant commercial advantage to Alcidion in the sales, commissioning and ongoing support of its existing products, as they are retuned for delivery via cloud rather than bespoke internal deployments at individual customer sites. The cloud also creates opportunity for Alcidion to deliver new, low cost, products, for example, smaller functional sub sets of larger existing Alcidion products but also opportunities to select new product modules for cloud delivery only, as standalone products/services, supported from the cloud at attractive prices. Cloud delivery offers significantly lower upfront costs for customers, potentially faster/cheaper commissioning costs and lower Alcidion maintenance and support costs. There are costs associated with the complete porting of the Alcidion product range to cloud computing and careful consideration will be given, on a product by product basis, to ensure the business moves to extract the commercial advantages of cloud computing. Alcidion developed a data acquisition and processing product via the cloud to the National Echocardiogram Database of Australia (NEDA), the NEDA study will be the largest study of heart function in the world. In addition to cloud based services Alcidion is evaluating the use of machine learning, and in particular deep learning technology. Deep learning has the potential to improve the detection of patient flow problems and patient risks so mitigation strategies can be activated earlier. Traditional statistical models have difficulty in coping with the complex nature of health care data, but new methods such as deep learning can handle this complexity if trained with enough data. 18 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Prior to the establishment of a direct presence in the United States, the company is required to achieve a number of pre-requisites, including: • Transition Alcidion from its project orientated origins into a product orientated company, with the Miya Platform as the cornerstone product. • Rebalance the organization from its core focus of engineering to a balanced business with significant Sales & Marketing capability. • Develop a replicable, sustainable & commercial model in Australia, with the view to establishing a direct US presence at the commencement of 2018. • Commercialize Alcidion’s CDSS and Smartforms platforms within the domestic market, to provide a solid foundation in which to build the business upon internally. • Adopt and implement QSR820 and register with the FDA as a manufacturer of a Class II medical device. • Accelerate the commercialization of Miya Smartforms to suit the myriad of modalities within health (i.e a sufficiently diverse library of Smartforms). • Establish an installation base across more than 5% of the Australian Healthcare Market to demonstrate efficacy, product reliability, interoptability, scalability and sustainability. • Adoption of a rigorous IP Protection Strategy in advance of the product launch. • Systemic adoption of industry “best practice” across all segments of the business. • Commercial discipline and commercial approach to pervade management decision making. • Develop content management utilities to reduce our support load and help to scale the system for handling large clinical content libraries. North American Expansion The United States of America has the highest per capita healthcare costs in the world but still has lower life expectancy, and higher infant mortality rates, than other developed nations. In fact, it is estimated that over 30% of US health expenditure is wasted. It is no surprise then that regulatory reforms are driving change in the US healthcare sector. The ‘payers’, as a major source of healthcare funding, are highly motivated to reduce waste in the system. Healthcare software can help address many areas of waste. The United States is being made the new primary target market of Alcidion and a concerted effort is being made to prepare the company for a US market entry as quickly as possible. The United States was identified as a core strategic target on the following basis: • Highest GDP expenditure on health in the world at 17.9% (versus 9.4% in Australia). • Largest volume of Acute Care Hospitals in the English speaking world. • As a result of high labour costs, CDSSs yield the strongest return of investment. • Requirements to meet the criteria of “Meaningful Use” to receive incentives by the US Federal Government to encourage the adoption of EHR. Once a reasonable foothold has been established in North America, the company believes it can exploit the economies of scale present in this new market to see a disproportionate high growth of sales relative to other markets. 19 For personal use only Alcidion maintains its focus on expanding its operations into the North American marketplace. The rationale is to capitalise on high growth opportunities in health informatics across the North American continent. In addition, Alcidion’s founders have long recognised the negative impact of the Electronic Health Record on the productivity of the care team – the propensity for the care team to be overwhelmed by the volume of data that can be delivered for a particular patient, followed by the time consuming, manual task of clinicians then having to update the EHR (making them amongst the most expensive typists on the planet). Alcidion’s founders set out to build a decision support engine that could push to the care team only data relevant to the patent’s current clinical risk, and provide visual guidance on decision options so that as decisions are made, the clinical documentation task can be completed quickly and simply. Alcidion’s Clinical Decision Support System supports these capabilities. Recent changes in the US market appear to validate the initial vision of Alcidion’s founders’. For example, in 2009 the US government invested $1.2 billion to help healthcare providers implement and use Electronic Medical Records. Negative aspects of the EHR emerged, for example, the American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians reported in the latest (2014) survey: “From the physicians' perspective, it appears that the significant investment in EHR systems over the past few years in the United States is failing to offer significant returns. Far from helping physicians to operate efficiently and have more time to spend with patients, the opposite appears to be the case.” Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 20 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 These changes are coming in waves. The first wave encouraged digital infrastructure and electronic health records adoption, a market which is now maturing. This wave was initiated when Congress passed the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which offered healthcare providers a carrot and stick approach to adopting meaningful use of this technology. This act incentivized hospitals, medical groups and doctors’ offices with more than $30 billion to change from paper patient medical records to Electronic Medical Records and use them in a meaningful way. Of the survey respondents: • 55% said it was difficult or very difficult to use their EHR to improve efficiency • 72% said it was difficult or very difficult to use their EHR to decrease workload • 54% indicated that their EHR system increased their total operating costs, and • 43% said they had not yet overcome productivity challenges associated with implementation of their EHR. By 2016 the US government requires (legislated) hospitals to have one component of a Clinical Decision Support, and beginning in 2016, the US Federal Government will progressively reduce funding to hospitals that have not adopted and deployed CDSS technology. Alcidion is intending to enter the North American market via the Canada due to the high cultural fit between the Canadian and Australian health markets, and the similarities between the management and operation of the public hospital systems across the two countries. The intent is to secure a major reference site in Canada to serve as demonstration site/testimonial site for potential US hospital customers and further Canadian customers. Alcidion has entered into a non-binding discussion with a major Canadian healthcare technology provider. In the United States, the healthcare Information Technology market is swelling, thanks to the federal government’s legislative and financial incentives for technological progress. While most industries have adopted technology much earlier, the healthcare industry is really just now catching up. 21 …Clinical Decision Support Systems Market is set to grow 21.5% CAGR from $USD1.18b in 2013 to $USD4.65b by 2018 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) set the stage for the second wave of technology, which builds on EMR adoption by adding performance and quality reporting metrics into the mix. The ACA changes the payment paradigm in healthcare by tying revenue to value and outcomes, versus volume of patients seen. Thus, new technologies are necessary for gathering, sharing and analysing vast amounts of data to manage the health of an entire patient population. Other technologies are addressing connectivity and interoperability issues, since moving to a value- based outcomes model requires better care coordination. As reported above, the Clinical Decision Support Systems Market is set to grow 21.5% CAGR from $USD1.18b in 2013 to $USD4.65b by 2018 (IndustryARC). According to a recent report by Capsite (a division of HIMSS), one third of all hospitals in the USA are planning to invest in Patient Flow Solutions.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration B. Details of remuneration C. Service agreements D. Share-based compensation The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The whole Board form the Remuneration Committee. The remuneration policy has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component with the flexibility to offer specific long term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. The Board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to manage the Group. The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and senior executives is as follows: • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the Board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The Board reviews executive packages annually and determines policy recommendations by reference to executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. • The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long term growth in shareholder wealth. • The directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which for the year ended 30 June 2016 was 9.5% of base salary and do not receive any other retirement benefits. • All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. • The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews the remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. 28 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders’ investment objectives and directors and executive performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages. B.

As a result, the Consolidated statement of cash flows comprises the cash transactions of Alcidion Corporation Pty Ltd for the year as well as the cash transactions of Alcidion Group Limited from the date of acquisition (29 February 2016) to the year ended date of 30 June 2016. 36 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Financial Position The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $2,544,717 (2015: $318,264 loss), and a net cash outflow from operations of $2,629,242 (2015: inflow of $1,129,325).

The ASX Corporate Governance Council released the third edition of its Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations on 27 March 2014 to take effect for the first full financial year commencing on or after 1 July 2014. The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement, and associated policy documents complies as far as possible with the spirit and intentions of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations as appropriate, having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its enterprise.

Details of their skills, experience and expertise and the year of office held by each director have been included in the Directors’ Report.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its controlled entity (collectively the Group). Refer Note 2.1.3 for details on the reverse acquisition. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2016. 2.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 2.2.1 Statement of compliance These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Australian Accounting Board Standards (AASBs) set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with AASBs ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB. 51 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 2.1.2 Financial position The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $2,544,717 (2015: $318,264 loss), and a net cash outflow from operations of $2,629,242 (2015: inflow of $1,129,325). At 30 June 2016, the Group has net current assets of $6,382,146 (2015: $1,985,476) and net equity of $6,574,539 (2015: $650,577). Based on a cash flow forecast, the Group has sufficient working capital to fund its mandatory obligations for the period ending 12 months from the date of this report. Should the Group be unable to generate sufficient funds from its operations or it is unable to raise sufficient capital, the planned operations and software development may have to be amended. The Board is confident in securing sufficient additional capital to fund the operations of the Group. The Directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate based on forecast cash flows and confidence in raising additional funds. 2.1.3 Reverse acquisition Alcidion Group Limited (formerly Naracoota Resources Limited) (Alcidion) is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company completed the legal acquisition of Alcidion Corporation Pty Ltd (Alcidion Corporation) on 29 February 2016. Alcidion Corporation (the legal subsidiary) was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes as it has obtained control over the operations of the legal acquirer Alcidion (accounting subsidiary). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Alcidion have been prepared as a continuation of the financial statements of Alcidion Corporation. Alcidion Corporation (as the deemed acquirer) has accounted for the acquisition of Alcidion from 29 February 2016. The comparative information presented in the consolidated financial statements is that of Alcidion Corporation. The impact of the reverse acquisition on each of the primary statements is as follows: • • • The consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income: o for the year to 30 June 2016 comprises twelve months of Alcidion Corporation and the period from 29 February 2016 to 30 June 2016 of Alcidion; and for the comparative period comprises 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015 of Alcidion Corporation. o The consolidated statement of financial position: o as at 30 June 2016 represents both Alcidion Corporation and Alcidion as at that date; and o as at 30 June 2015 represents Alcidion Corporation as at that date. The consolidated statement of changes in equity: o for the year ended 30 June 2016 comprises Alcidion Corporation's balance at 1 July 2015, its loss for the year and transactions with equity holders for twelve months. It also comprises Alcidion’s loss and transactions within equity from 29 February 2016 to 30 June 2016 and the equity value 52 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 of Alcidion Corporation and Alcidion at 30 June 2016. The number of shares on issue at year end represent those of Alcidion only. o for the comparative period comprises 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015 of Alcidion Corporation's changes in equity. • The consolidation statement of cash flows: o for the year ended 30 June 2016 comprises the cash balance of Alcidion Corporation, as at 1 July 2015, the cash transactions for the twelve months of Alcidion Corporation and the period from 29 February 2016 to 30 June 2016 of Alcidion and the cash balances of Alcidion Corporation and Alcidion at 30 June 2016. o for the comparative period comprises 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015 of Alcidion Corporation's cash transactions. 2.1.4 Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. 2.1.5 Comparative figures Where required by AASBs comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year. Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented. 2.2 Principles of consolidation As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). 2.2.1 Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to variable returns from another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. 53 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: • • • less • the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquisition; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. 2.2.2 Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. 2.2.3 Loss of control Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non- controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for- sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. 2.2.4 Transactions eliminated on consolidation All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 54 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 2.3 Taxation 2.3.1 Income tax The income tax expense / (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax expense/(income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. Where the Group receives the Australian Government's Research and Development Tax Incentive, the Group accounts for the refundable tax offset under AASB 112. Funds are received as a rebate through the parent company's income tax return and disclosed as such in Note 7 Income Tax. 55 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 2.3.2 Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 2.4 Fair Value 2.4.1 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The Group 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 AASB. Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly 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. 2.4.2 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: 56 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. 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. 2.4.3 Valuation techniques The Group 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 Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches: • Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. • Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value. • Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect 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 Group 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. 57 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 2.5 Plant and equipment 2.5.1 Recognition and measurement Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy 2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets). Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self- constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of plant and equipment. 2.5.2 Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Any costs of the day-to-day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. 2.5.3 Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a diminishing value or straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The depreciation rates used for the current and comparative period are: Class of fixed asset Depreciation rate (%) Computer equipment 25 – 66.67 Furniture and fittings 5-10 The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 58 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss. 2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets (see accounting policy 2.3.1) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, unless the asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess recognised through the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 2.7 Financial instruments 2.7.1 Initial recognition and measurement A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified on the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. 59 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 2.7.2 Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transactions costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. 2.7.3 Classification and Subsequent Measurement Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of nine months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of financial position. Loans Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Trade and other receivables Receivables are usually settled within 60 days. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non- current assets. Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Collectability of trade and other receivables are reviewed on an ongoing basis. An impairment loss is recognised for debts which are known to be uncollectible. An impairment provision is raised for any doubtful amounts. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid and stated at their amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are generally settled on 30 day terms. Share capital Ordinary issued capital is recorded at the consideration received. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit. Ordinary issued capital bears no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital entitlements of the shareholders. 2.7.4 Amortised cost Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. 60 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 2.7.5 Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. 2.7.6 Effective interest method The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss. 2.7.7 Impairment A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. All impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in the income statement. 2.7.8 Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to cash flow expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 2.7.9 Finance income and expenses Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. 61 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, unwinding of discounts on provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis. 2.8 Employee benefits 2.8.1 Short-term benefits Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. Non-accumulating non-monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the benefits are taken by the employees. 2.8.2 Other long-term benefits The Group's obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than defined benefit plans is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate at the report date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company's obligations. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 2.8.3 Retirement benefit obligations: Defined contribution superannuation funds A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions onto a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. 2.8.4 Termination benefits When applicable, the Group recognises a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring pursuant to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, unless the number of employees affected is known, the obligation for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after 62 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long-term employee benefits. 2.8.5 Equity-settled compensation The Group operates an employee share option plan. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to market conditions not being met. 2.9 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 2.10 Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the Group are classified as finance leases. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. 2.11 Revenue and other income Interest revenue is recognised in accordance with Note 2.7.9 Finance income and expenses. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred, it is treated as the provision of financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue. Income from the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Offset is recognised in profit before tax over the periods necessary to match the benefit of the credit with the costs for which it is intended to compensate. 63 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Expenditure on research and development is charged to the income statement in the year in which it is incurred. All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST (Note 2.3.2 Goods and Services Tax (GST)). 2.12 Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group 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 Group's other components. All operating segments' results are regularly reviewed by the Group's Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. 2.13 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments Management discusses with the Board the development, selection and disclosure of the Group's critical accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. 2.13.1 Key judgements and estimates - Business Combinations Refer Note 2.2.1 Business combinations, Note 2.1.3 Reverse Acquisition and Note 3 Business Combinations. 2.13.2 Key Estimate - Taxation Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors' best estimate, pending an assessment by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Refer Note 7 Income Tax. Research & Development rebate is accrued based on estimated amount receivable from ATO as per the applicable tax laws. 2.13.3 Key Estimate - Intangible assets and amortisation Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period. Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources; and intent 64 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of four years. Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of four years. 2.13.4 Key Estimate – Provision for R&D Where the Group receives the Australian Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive, the Group accounts for the amount refundable on accrual basis. In determining the amount of the R&D provision at year end, there is an estimation process utilising a conservative approach. Any changes to the estimation are recorded in the subsequent Financial Year. 2.14 New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new, revised or amending AASBs that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The adoption of these AASBs did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. 2.15 New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted AASBs that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2016. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended AASBs, most relevant to the Group, are set out below. 2.15.1 AASB 9 Financial Instruments This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income (OCI) or financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group. 65 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 2.15.2 AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will 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. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand- alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group. 2.15.3 AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either 66 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity. There are no other AASB that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory that are expected to have a significant impact on the Group. 3 Business combinations 3.1 Alcidion Corporation Pty Ltd On 29 February 2016, Alcidion Group Limited (formerly Naracoota Resources Limited) (Alcidion Group), acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital and voting rights of Alcidion Corporation Pty Ltd (Alcidion Corporation) as described in the prospectus issued 7 December 2015. Under AASB 3 Business Combinations (AASB 3) this is treated as a 'reverse acquisition', whereby the accounting acquirer is deemed to be Alcidion Corporation and Alcidion Group Limited is deemed to be the accounting acquiree. As a result, this financial report consists statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, financial position, changes in equity and cash flows comprises the cash transactions of Alcidion Corporation Pty Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2016 as well as the transactions of Alcidion Group Limited from the date of acquisition (29 February 2016) to the period ended date of 30 June 2016. Refer to the effect upon the basis of preparation at Note 2.1.3 Reverse acquisition. 3.2 Acquisition consideration As consideration for the issued capital of Alcidion Corporation, Alcidion Group Limited issued: i. ii. 400,000,000 Shares, 133,333,333 Class A Contingent Share Rights and 133,333,333 Class B Contingent Share Rights to the Alcidion Vendors (or their nominees) in consideration for the acquisition of all of the issued capital in Alcidion (Vendor Offer); and 11,827,957 Class A Contingent Share Rights and 15,053,763 Class B Contingent Share Rights to Beacon in consideration for the initial introduction and structuring of the Alcidion Acquisition (Beacon Offer). 3.3 Fair value of consideration transferred Under the principles of AASB 3, the transaction between Alcidion Group and Alcidion Corporation is being treated as a reverse acquisition. As such, the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer), being Alcidion Corporation, are measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts. The assets and liabilities of the legal parent (accounting acquiree), being Alcidion Group are measured at fair value on the date of acquisition (29 February 2016). The consideration in a reverse acquisition is deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary (Alcidion Corporation) in the form of equity instruments issued to the shareholders of the legal parent entity (Alcidion Group). The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred has been determined by reference 67 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 to the fair value of the number of shares the legal subsidiary (Alcidion Corporation) would have issued to the legal parent entity Alcidion Group to obtain the same ownership interest in the combined entity. 3.4 Goodwill (Corporate restructure / RTO expense) Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred less the fair value of the identified net assets of the legal parent, being Alcidion Group. Details of the transaction are as follows: Fair value of consideration transferred Fair value of assets and liabilities held at acquisition date: • Cash • Trade and other receivables • Trade and other payables Fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed Goodwill (Corporate restructure / RTO expense) Fair Value $ 6,286,178 5,332,057 30,814 (183,868) 5,179,003 1,107,175 The goodwill calculated above represents goodwill in Alcidion Group, however this has not been recognised as Alcidion Group (the accounting acquiree) is not a business. Instead the deemed fair value of the interest in Alcidion Corporation issued to existing Alcidion Group shareholders to affect the combination (the consideration for the acquisition of the public shell company) was recognised as an expense in the income statement. This expense has been presented as a "corporate restructure / RTO expense" on the face of the consolidated statement profit or loss and comprehensive income. 68 For personal use only 4 Revenue Revenue from continuing operations Recurring income Non-recurring income Foreign exchange gain or (loss) Other income Other revenue Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Consolidated 2016 Company 2015 $ $ 1,808,037 1,034,249 106 1,568,582 3,276,892 (2,153) 2,842,392 4,843,321 44,654 3,937 Research & Development Incentive Rebate 1,182,572 334,000 5 Finance costs Net finance costs recognised in profit or loss 6,807 21,130 Consolidated 2016 Company 2015 $ $ 6 Loss from operations Loss before income tax has been arrived at after charging the following gains and (losses) from continuing operations: Depreciation and Amortisation of non-current assets Directors and employees benefit expense Net Foreign Exchange Differences Corporate restructure / RTO expense Consolidated 2016 Company 2015 $ $ 72,218 115,066 2,703,750 2,597,378 (106) 1,107,175 2,153 - 69 For personal use only 7 Income tax Income tax recognised in profit or loss Tax expense comprises: Current tax expense Deferred tax expense relating to the origination and reversal of temporary differences Total tax benefit Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 Consolidated 2016 Company 2015 $ $ - (19,725) (19,725) - 7,301 7,301 The prima facie income tax expense on pre-tax accounting loss from operations reconciles to the income tax expense in the financial statements as follows: Consolidated 2016 Company 2015 $ $ (Loss) from operations (2,524,992) (325,565) Income tax benefit calculated at 30% Research and Development expense Effect of expenses that are not deductible in determining taxable profit Net effect of unused tax losses and temporary differences not recognised as deferred tax assets Income tax benefit (757,498) 861,762 35,008 (119,547) 19,725 (97,669) 100,200 (735) (9,097) (7,301) The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits under Australian tax law.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored. The Group measures credit risk on a fair value basis. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. It is a policy of the Group that creditors are paid within 30 days. 83 For personal use only Audited Final Report for year ended 30 June 2016 (f) Liquidity risk management The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
