OUR PURPOSE

Atomo is an emerging global leader in the design 
of medical devices for blood-based rapid testing 
for professional use and self-testing. Atomo’s 
innovative rapid diagnostic test (RDT) devices 
simplify procedures, reduce common user errors, 
and enhance test reliability.

OUR VISION

Atomo is committed to applying its resources, 
technologies and know-how to help address 
the fundamental issues affecting global health.

We believe usability is more and more 
important as healthcare increasingly transitions 
out of laboratories.

Our products are focussed on improving health 
outcomes across a range of markets and 
applications, including in countries with high 
disease burden, weak healthcare systems and 
limited facility-based testing. Diagnostic self-
testing and community screening programs are 
increasingly seen by many experts as critical 
tools in reducing the spread of infectious 
disease globally.

01 OVERVIEW

5

Atomo’s primary focus is the expansion of global sales 
and continued development of its proprietary rapid 
test device technologies that simplify blood-based 
medical diagnostic testing processes and reduce errors 
when compared to more complex conventional blood-
based rapid diagnostic testing kits that require multiple 
accessories to run the test.

“We are excited about our partnership with Atomo Diagnostics. We believe 
the incorporation of the novel Atomo technology into the existing FebriDX 
testing system improves its ease of use and accuracy, allowing for broader 
acceptance in outpatient settings.”

Rob Sambursky, President and Chief Technology  
and Medical Officer of RPS/Lumos

“We invested in Atomo because it is a patented, innovative company 
helping to achieve our twin objectives of meeting global health needs as 
well as delivering a strong return for our investors”

Curt LaBelle, President Global Health Investment Fund

“The user-centred design achieved with this product as a result of our 
collaboration with Atomo makes it ideal for OTC markets and self-testing”

6  02 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

On behalf of the Board of Atomo Diagnostics Limited 
(Atomo), I am delighted to introduce the company’s 
Annual Report to 30 June 2020. This is our first Annual 
Report since our successful capital raising and listing 
on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 16 April 
2020. Reflecting government directed social distancing 
measures, Atomo was the first “virtual” listing on the ASX. 
Atomo was included in June into the ASX All Ordinaries 
Index. 

Through and following our IPO we warmly welcome 
many of you as recent shareholders, and thank all of our 
shareholders for your continuing interest and support. Our 
register currently exceeds 8,000,  spanning individuals 
and prominent institutional investors. 

Business Update

As you know Atomo supplies devices for the rapid testing 
of blood by both professional users and consumers, to 
detect and test for infectious diseases, chronic health 
conditions and consumer wellness. Atomo has two 
business models for developing and commercialising 
diagnostic devices; the first is selling Finished Products 
and the second is selling original equipment manufacturer 
(OEM) devices. The corresponding marketing strategies 
allow Atomo to maximise commercial opportunities to 
seek scale across a breadth of rapid test applications and 
geographies. 

Funds raised through our listing are in part financing the 
expansion of our production capacity. We have more 
than doubled our production capacity during 2020 now 
producing 750,000 devices monthly. Ongoing demand 
sees Atomo continuing to invest in growing our capacity. 

Atomo’s commitment to evolving rapid testing and the 
flexible nature of our diagnostic platforms allows us to 
respond promptly to identified opportunities and enables 
us to help address public health demands, including those 
arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In response 
to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have signed agreements 
with Access Bio, Inc (USA) and NG Biotech to house each 
company’s COVID-19 antibody RDT on Atomo’s platform, 
making these available in the North American, European 
and Australian markets amongst others. We have also 
announced that Atomo is launching the marketing of 
Access Bio’s COVID-19 antigen test in Australia, New 
Zealand and India. 

You may recall that Atomo’s first Finished Product tests 
for HIV were made available for professional use as well 
as a version approved for self-test use. We are proud that 
Atomo’s HIV self-test is the only HIV self-test approved 
by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for 
use in Australia. Atomo supplies NASDAQ listed Mylan 
Pharmaceuticals and UK based healthcare company 
Owen Mumford with HIV tests for sale through contracts 

covering more than 100 countries, across Europe, Asia, 
Africa and Central & South Amercia. Atomo markets 
its HIV products directly in Australia. Atomo’s branded 
product portfolio was expanded to meet these demands, 
taking responsibility for regional distribution of Atomo 
branded COVID-19 rapid antibody and antigen tests. 

The appeal of Atomo’s integrated user-friendly platforms 
is also underpinning growth of our OEM business. 
Supply contracts have been extended to manufacture 
devices for RPS/Lumos Diagnostics to house its FebriDx 
rapid test, allowing point-of-care testing to distinguish 
bacterial from viral infections.  

Looking Ahead

Atomo is well positioned to sustain meaningful rates of  
growth across Finished Products and OEM contracts. 
Combining the growth of recurring revenues with 
established partners and proven responsiveness to 
emerging opportunities, we are well capitalised to deliver 
on our advised global strategy. 

Board Renewal

Atomo’s Board of Directors bring strong commercial 
and industry experience across critical aspects of our 
business. One of the Board’s priorities is to ensure that 
we have capabilities and domain expertise to govern our 
global business effectively. We were delighted this year 
to welcome Connie Carnabuci and Paul Kasian to join our 
Board. Connie and Paul bring a wealth of experiences 
and skills that continue building the Board’s diversity 
and depth. We also welcomed Gillian Nairn as Company 
Secretary. 

The Atomo Team 

Lastly and most importantly, the Board recognises the 
outstanding efforts of the Atomo team. These efforts 
are under the tireless leadership of CEO John Kelly, 
alongside his executive team of CFO Will Souter, CCO 
Fabio Baglioni and COO Mark Smith. As we have seen 
throughout the last financial year and beyond, Atomo 
continues to navigate successfully through changing 
conditions, identifying and acting on new opportunities. 
We are excited about the years ahead.

John Keith 
Chair, Atomo Board

03 CEO’S REPORT

This last year represents a watershed in Atomo’s history 
and its journey to becoming a global leader in point 
of care diagnostics. Despite significant economic and 
financial uncertainty, we successfully listed on the 
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in April 2020. 
Atomo was able to quickly pivot to assist in the fight 
against the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, redirecting 
product capacity to enable our partner in Europe 
to launch their COVID-19 rapid test in France. This 
was followed up by a second extensive agreement 
covering North America with another trusted partner. 
Through these strategic relationships the company 
has also been able to obtain rights for our own Atomo 
branded COVID-19 rapid antibody and antigen tests. We 
continued to support our HIV business, which we believe 
will provide revenues to the company in the coming 
years as HIV self testing plays an ever-increasing role in 
the diagnosis of HIV infection globally. 

There was an improvement in underlying EBITDA, from a 
loss of $4.08 million in FY19, to a loss of $2.38 million in 
FY20 suggesting that Atomo is on a path to becoming 
EBITDA positive. The company’s debt was fully repaid 
from the IPO proceeds and we finished the year with $27 
million cash on hand.  

Additionally, ongoing investment brought the total 
research and development spend for FY20, including 
amounts capitalised,  to approximately $2.3 million, 
reflecting ongoing investment in product development 
and improvements in key proprietary manufacturing 
processes.

The Financial Summary

Key Activities

We are pleased to report on these encouraging financial 
results, detailed in this report. The combination of strong 
growth in revenues, the elimination of debt and robust 
investment in capacity and new applications create a 
solid foundation for ongoing success. Further, the results 
reflect a strategy of expanding the depth and breadth 
of product and market segments to drive growth whilst 
maintaining and building margins. 

In FY20, gross margin increased from 18% to 60% as 
the business continued to benefit from a move towards 
more efficient economies of scale, and COVID-19 test 
sales delivered higher margins. Revenue from sales to 
customers increased by 895% to $5.37 million. This was 
driven by:

•  the acceleration of product registrations and in-country 
launch of HIV products by the Group’s HIV products 
distribution partners;

•  the growth of other OEM business in Europe and the 

United States; and

•  significant customer demand for Atomo’s COVID-19 

point of care antibody testing devices.

We are extremely pleased with the trajectory of sales 
growth, noting that revenue in FY20 was 10 times that of 
FY19. 

Our listing has enabled Atomo to expand operations. 
We were well situated to meet the challenges of the 
COVID-19 pandemic – a once-in-a-lifetime challenge and 
an opportunity for Atomo to contribute to addressing 
this global problem. Partnership agreements include:

•  in late March, NG Biotech SAS (France) for COVID-19 
antibody RDT devices to be distributed in France;

•  in August, Access Bio, Inc (USA) for COVID-19 antibody 
RDT tests in the North American market, including a 
take or pay for 2 million units by September FY21; 

•  in August, TGA approval granted for supply in Australia 

of the AtomoRapid COVID-19 antibody rapid test;

•  in September, obtaining the rights to distribute Access 
Bio’s antigen test under the Atomo brand in Australia, 
New Zealand, and India.

The global pandemic has highlighted that traditional 
models of testing in hospitals, laboratories and 
centralised institutions are not, on their own, adequate. 
In the case of COVID-19 this centralised testing approach 
has not been flexible or scalable enough to meet the 
needs of communities globally. We see technology that 
allows simple and rapid testing at home, and in point-of-
care settings as the future of the delivery of healthcare in 
the modern era. 

8  03 CEO’S REPORT

Looking Forward

We are excited to progress our journey as we move into 
FY21. During the year we are planning to:

•  expand strategic commercialisation and distribution 
partnerships across key global markets with a clear 
focus on expansion of clinical test applications 
commercialised on Atomo devices;

•  seek new global markets for COVID-19 and HIV as 

well as scaling up our OEM sales channels, supporting 
key partners in these channels and ensuring that 
manufacturing capacity is in place to support significant 
scale up across these businesses;

•  launch new Atomo finished products in high value 

diagnostic segments across professional use point-of-
care markets, including doctors’ offices, telehealth and 
community screening channels as well a focus on the 
rapidly emerging consumer / at home health segment;

•  focus on the development and commercialisation of 
new products and technologies, including additional 
AtomoRapid devices, a new low-cost digital reader and 
eHealth app based solutions; and

•  expand Atomo’s business footprint and scale, including 

setting up a North American business operation, 
increasing production capacity,  increasing business 
via OEM channels and new Atomo finished product 
commercialisation activities.

OPERATING & FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the Group during the course 
of the year were the development and sale of medical 
devices. 

There were no significant changes in the nature of the 
activities of the Group during the year. 

Review of operations

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for 
income tax amounted to $9,218,105 (30 June 2019: loss of 
$5,055,112).

Revenue increased by 895% for the year, from $0.54 
million in 2019 to $5.37 million in 2020. This growth in 
revenue was driven by:

•  the acceleration of registrations and in-country rollout of 
HIV products by the Group’s HIV products distribution 
partners;

•  the launch in Europe of customer RDT products that 

utilise the Group’s Pascal device; and

•  significant customer demand for the Group’s COVID-19 

point of care antibody testing devices. 

During the year, the Group incurred significant one-off 
expenses relating the Company’s Initial Public Offering 
on the ASX and the bringing to account cash and non-
cash finance costs as described further below.

Finance costs during the year amounting to $5.29 million 
comprised the following:

•  $0.45 million plus $0.76 million (totalling $1.21 million) 

relating to actual cash interest payable on the GHIF loan 
and converting note;

•  $3.25 million relating to (i) effective interest rate 

adjustments predominantly on the converting note and 
GHIF loan ($7.06 million) and (ii) fair value adjustments 
totalling $3.80 million (income) in relation to the 
warrants attached to the GHIF loan, and the embedded 
derivative on the converting note; and

•  $0.83 million in costs associated with the raising of the 

converting note. 

Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2020 
amounted to $27.1 million compared to $1.9 million as 
at 30 June 2019. The significant increase in cash and 
cash equivalents during the year is attributable to the 
proceeds received by the Company via the issue of 
converting notes during the year and upon its Initial 
Public Offering, net of associated costs and working 
capital used during the year. 

12

Significant changes in the state of affairs

•  On 28 February 2020, GHIF exercised 21,818,184 

•  During the months of October and November 2019, the 
Company raised $16.05 million through the issue of non-
redeemable converting notes. These notes were interest 
bearing and convertible at the earlier of the occurrence 
of a significant equity raising transaction, or twelve (12) 
months from the date of issue. Of the $16.05 million, 
a non-cash portion amounting to $1.76 million was 
issued to Global Health Investment Fund LLC (“GHIF”) 
in satisfaction of the first repayment of their loan (as 
described in Note 13). All of the converting notes were 
converted into 100,302,363 ordinary shares in the 
Company as part of the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) 
described below.

•  On 19 December 2019, the shareholders of the Company 

approved a 1:8 split of the Company’s share capital.

•  On 19 December 2019, the shareholders of the Company 
approved the conversion of all Ord+ shares into ordinary

company became a public company.

•  On 21 February 2020, the Company changed from 

being a proprietary company with the name Atomo 
Diagnostics Pty Limited, to being a public company with 
the name Atomo Diagnostics Limited. The Company

ASX listed company pursuant to shareholder approval 
obtained at a general meeting held on 19 December 
2019.

•  Prior to the IPO (details below), holders of 18,049,440 
options (on a post-share split basis) had accepted an 
early exercise offer presented by the Company, resulting 
in the issue of 8,768,491 ordinary shares.

warrants (post-share split basis) on a cashless basis 
resulting in the issue of 10,868,183 ordinary shares. 

•  On 14 April 2020, the Company was admitted to the 
Official List of the Australian Securities Exchange 
(“ASX”) after completing an IPO raising $30 million via 
the issue of 150,000,010 ordinary shares at an issue price 
of $0.20. The Company’s shares commenced trading on 
the ASX on 16 April 2020.

•  Concurrently with the IPO, 47,838,768 B Class shares 
were converted into ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis 
pursuant to approval by shareholders on 19 December 
2019.

•  On 14 April 2020, 6,800,000 options were issued to the 
Company’s Managing Director (John Kelly) and three 
(3) other key management personnel. These options are 
exercisable at $0.25 within 36 months from their vesting 
date. These options vest in three equal tranches in 12 
month, 24 months and 36 month respectively, subject 
to satisfaction of vesting conditions relating to KPIs. 
A further 1,600,000 options were issued to ID&E Pty 
Limited on the same terms as those noted above.  

•  On 21 April 2020, the Group repaid in full it’s debt to 
GHIF. As a result, the Company had no debt as at 30 
June 2020.

In the opinion of the Directors, there were no other 
significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group 
during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 
2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly 
affect the Group’s operations, the results of those 
operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in 
future financial years.

Impacts of Covid-19

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

13

The Group’s operations are not subject to any significant 
environmental regulation under both Australian 
Commonwealth or State law. The Board believes that 
the Group has adequate systems in place for the 
management of its environmental requirements.

Atomo has traded successfully throughout the COVID-19 
pandemic and in fact has seen performance improve as 
a direct result. During the initial phases of the COVID-19 
epidemic, business of the Group was temporarily 
negatively impacted as global health refocused 
resources to respond to COVID-19 and supply chains 
were interrupted. Thereafter, as the Group’s supply chain 
quickly returned to normal and as customers began to 
address the COVID-19 situation, there was a significant 
improvement in the Group’s financial and trading position 
as revenue increased driven by demand from customers 
seeking to use Atomo devices in their products to test 
for antibodies produced in response to exposure to 
COVID-19. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations

As Atomo moves into FY21, the focus will be on 
continuing to meet increasing demand created by the 
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as continuing to 
progress activities in the following key areas:

•  scale-up and ongoing roll-out of business in the HIV self-

test market;

•  expansion of sales of OEM products to existing and new 

OEM customers; and

•  developing and expanding new Atomo rapid test 

products and entry into new point of care test markets.

In order to support these activities, the Company will 
continue to invest in ongoing research and development 
and the expansion of its manufacturing capacity.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The remuneration report details the key management 
personnel remuneration arrangements for the 
consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements 
of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having 
authority and responsibility for planning, directing 
and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or 
indirectly, including all Directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following 
main headings:

•  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of 

remuneration

•  Details of remuneration

•  Service agreements

•  Share-based compensation

•  Additional disclosures relating to key management 

personnel

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of 
remuneration

Atomo’s Board of Directors (“the Board”) has reserved 
to itself responsibility for approving the Company’s 
remuneration policies and satisfying itself that 
remuneration policies are aligned with the Group’s 
purpose, values, strategic objectives and risk appetite. 
The Board has also reserved to itself the appointment 
and removal of the Managing Director and the Company 
Secretary and determination of their remuneration and 
conditions of service, including any financial incentives.

To assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in 
respect of remuneration related matters, shortly prior 
to listing, the Board established a Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee (“NRC”). The Board delegated 
the following remuneration related matters to the NRC:

(i)  set the fees and salaries paid to both executive and 

Non-Executive Directors;

(ii)  make recommendations to the Board regarding the 

remuneration of the Managing Director and direct 
reports to the Managing Director;

(iii)  obtain independent, market-based remuneration 

benchmarks on an annual basis to ensure 
competitive levels of benefit; 

(iv)  make recommendations to the Board regarding the 

design of all executive incentive plans;

 
18

(v)  ensure that the recommended remuneration of 
the Managing Director and direct reports to the 
Managing Director comprises a suitable balance 
between fixed and incentive pay, reflecting short 
and long-term objectives relevant to Atomo’s scale, 
performance and business objectives; 

(vi)  adopt and implement policies and practice regarding 
the deferral of performance-based remuneration; 
and

(vii) make recommendations to the Board regarding 

performance management policies and procedures, 
consistent with incentive-based remuneration 
practices and designed by reference to specified 
performance targets, for the Managing Director and 
direct reports to the Managing Director.

A copy of the NRC’s Charter is available on Atomo’s 
website.

Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration

Each of the Non-Executive Directors has entered into 
appointment letters with Atomo confirming the terms 
of their appointment and their roles and responsibilities. 
A Non-Executive Director may terminate their 
Directorship at any time by advising the Board in writing. 
The appointment letters are otherwise on standard 
commercial terms.

The Chair, John Keith, receives $130,000 and each Non-
Executive Director receives $50,000.

Each Chair of a Board Committee will receive an 
additional amount of $20,000 per annum. The Chairs of 
the Board Committees are Paul Kasian (Audit and Risk 
Committee) and Connie Carnabuci (Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee).

Directors may also be reimbursed for expenses properly 
incurred by them in dealing with the Company’s business 
or in carrying out their duties as a Director.

Under the Constitution, the Board decides the total 
amount paid to each Non-Executive Director as 
remuneration for their services as a Director. However, 
under the ASX Listing Rules, the total amount of fees 
paid to all Directors for their services (excluding, for 
these purposes, the salary of any Executive Director) 
must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year 
the amount fixed by the Company’s shareholders in 
general meeting. This amount has been fixed initially in 
the Company’s Constitution at $500,000 per annum in 
aggregate and may be varied by ordinary resolution in a 
general meeting.

Executive remuneration

The Group aims to reward executives based on their 
position and responsibility, with a level and mix of 
remuneration which has both fixed and variable 
components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has 
four components:

•  base pay and non-monetary benefits;

•  short-term performance incentives;

•  share-based payments; and

•  other remuneration such as superannuation and long 

service leave.

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total 
remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, 
superannuation and non-monetary benefits, is reviewed 
annually by the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee based on individual and business unit 
performance, the overall performance of the Group and 
comparable market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the 
form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor 
vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional 
costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional 
value to the executive.

The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed 
to align the targets of the business units with the 
performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are 
granted to executives based on specific targets and key 
performance indicators (‘KPI’s’) being achieved. None 
of the executives received any short term incentives 
during the 2020 financial year with the exception of 
the Managing Director who received short term cash 
incentives of $209,384 which was payable upon meeting 
certain performance criteria and Atomo’s admission to 
the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange.

The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave 
and share-based payments. Upon Atomo’s admission 
to ASX, Atomo increased the fixed remuneration of its 
executives to align their remuneration with the market, 
and granted each of the executives an allocation of 
options under Atomo’s Employee Share Option Plan 
(ESOP). Further details can be found under the heading 
“Share-based compensation” below.

All options were granted over unissued fully paid 
ordinary shares in the Company. Options granted carry 
no dividend or voting rights.

Prior to being listed on the ASX, the Company 
established a tax exempt employee share plan (“Tax 
Exempt Plan”). Under the Tax Exempt Plan, the Company 
may offer an eligible person restricted shares in the 
Company which are subject to a three year holding lock 
while the person remains employed by the Company. 
Offers of restricted shares under the Tax Exempt Plan 
not exceeding a total value of A$1,000 or such other 
amount as permitted under Subdivision 83A-B of the Tax 
Act may be reduced from the assessable income of that 
eligible person for the income year in which the eligible 
person acquires those restricted shares. The objective of 
the Tax Exempt Plan is to align the interests of eligible 
Atomo employees and contractors with shareholders 
through the sharing of a personal interest in the future 
growth and development of the Company and to 
provide a means of attracting and retaining skilled and 
experienced eligible persons.

As at the date of this report, no grants of shares have 
been made under the Tax Exempt Plan.

Option plan details

1. Pre-IPO option plan details

In prior financial years, the Company issued options 
to employees, Directors and key stakeholders to align 
the interests of those parties through the sharing of a 
personal interest in the future growth and development 
of the Company and to provide a means of attracting

25

2. New option plan details

of eligible employees and Directors with shareholders through the sharing of a personal interest in the future growth 
and development of the Company and to provide a means of attracting and retaining skilled and experienced eligible 
persons.

Upon Atomo’s admission to the official list of ASX, Atomo granted a total of 6,800,000 options under the new option 
plan to the four (4) executive KMPs exercisable at $0.25 within 36 months from the date of vesting. The options 
will vest in three equal tranches in 12 months, 24 months and 36 months respectively, subject to the satisfaction of  
vesting conditions relating to KPIs determined by the Managing Director or in the case of the Managing Director, 
determined by the Board in consultation with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Curt LaBelle is a Non-Executive Director of the Company and is also President of GHIF. GHIF is also a substantial 
shareholder of the Company holding 11.38% of the issued capital of the Company as at 30 June 2020 (2019: 11.9%). 
During the year, the Group had borrowings from GHIF (further details of which can be found at Note 13 of the financial 
statements) and GHIF was also a participant in the converting notes issued during the year holding $2.93 million of 
the total $16.05 million issued (further details of which can be found at Note 13 of the financial statements).

Statutory performance indicators

The Company aims to align its executive remuneration to its strategic and business objective and the creation 
of shareholder wealth. The table below shows measures of the Group’s financial performance over the last three 
years (being the extent of available historic audited performance information) as required by the Corporations Act 
2001. However, these are not necessarily consistent with the measures used in determining the variable amounts of 
remuneration to be awarded to KMPs. As a consequence, there may not always be a direct correlation between the 
statutory key performance measures and the variable remuneration awarded.

^^ Atomo’s shares first traded on the ASX on 16 April 2020 after successful completion of its IPO. Accordingly, no share price information has been 
provided prior to FY20. For FY20, the movement in shares price has been calculated as the difference between the IPO price (i.e. $0.20) and the closing 
price as at 30 June 2020 (i.e. $0.34).

This concludes the remuneration report, which has been audited.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

29

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as 
required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 
2001 is set out immediately after this Directors’ report. 

AUDITOR

On 27 July 2020, KPMG Australia resigned as auditor of 
the Company. On 3 August 2020, BDO Audit Pty Ltd was 
appointed as auditor of the Company.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd continues in office in accordance with 
section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution 
of Directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the Directors

___________________________

John Keith 
Chairman

31 August 2020 
Sydney

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the Company’s 
auditors for non-audit services provided during the 
financial year by the auditors are outlined in Note 20 to 
the financial statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-
audit services during the financial year, by the auditors 
(or by another person or firm on the auditors’ behalf), is 
compatible with the general standard of independence 
for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as 
disclosed in Note 20 to the financial statements do 
not compromise the external auditors’ independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the 
following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved 

to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and 
objectivity of the auditors; and

•  none of the services undermine the general principles 
relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued 
by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards 
Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s 
own work, acting in a management or decision-making 
capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the 
company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY WHO ARE FORMER 
PARTNERS OF THE COMPANY’S AUDITORS

There are no officers of the company who are former 
partners of KPMG Australia or BDO Australia. 

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities 
and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-
off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in 
accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the 
nearest dollar.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the 
preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 
These policies have been consistently applied to all the 
years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) New or amended Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or 
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board 
(‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting 
period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or 
Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been 
early adopted.

The Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised 
accounting standards and interpretations issued by 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board for annual 
reporting periods beginning or after 1 July 2019. It has 
been determined that there is no impact, material or 
otherwise, of any other new or revised accounting 
standards and interpretations other than those outlined 
in the New and amended standards adopted by the 
group outlined above.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

AASB 16 Leases:

AASB 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease 
accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises 
a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the 
underlying asset and a lease liability representing its 
obligation to make lease payments. For short-term leases 
(lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value 
assets, the Group has opted to recognise a lease expense 
on a straight-line basis as permitted by AASB 16.

AASB 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including 
AASB 117 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an 
Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases 
– Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluation the Substance of 
Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

Previously, the Group recognised operating lease 
expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
lease. Under AASB 16, the Group will recognise new 
assets and liabilities for its operating leases of rented 
premises. The nature of expenses related to those leases 
will now change because the Group will recognise a 
depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest 
expense on lease liabilities, included in finance costs, 
based on the interest rate implicit in the contract.

Following the adoption of AASB 16, the Group has 
recognised additional lease liabilities of $133,151.

AASB Interpretation 23:

The Group has adopted AASB Interpretation 23 
Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments from 1 July 2019. 
AASB Interpretation 23 outlines the requirements around 
accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Group has 
concluded that it is probable that the tax authorities will 
accept the current method of calculating the Group’s 
current tax liability which is calculated in accordance 
with AASB 112.

(b) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the 
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit 
oriented entities. These financial statements also comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board 
(‘IASB’).

Historical cost convention:

The financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, 
the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair 
value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value 
through other comprehensive income, investment 
properties, certain classes of property, plant and 
equipment and derivative financial instruments. 

Reclassification of prior year amounts and balances:

In certain circumstances, prior year amounts and 
balances have been reclassified for comparability.

Critical accounting estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It 
also requires management to exercise its judgement 
in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s 
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree 
of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions 
and estimates are significant to the financial statements, 
are disclosed in Note 1(b).

(c) Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
these financial statements present the results of the 
consolidated entity only. Supplementary information 
about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 25.

39

(d) Principles of consolidation

(e) Operating segments

The consolidated financial statements incorporate 
the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atomo 
Diagnostics Limited (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 
30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the 
year then ended. Atomo Diagnostics Limited and its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial 
statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the 
consolidated entity has control. The consolidated 
entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power to direct the activities 
of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the 
date on which control is transferred to the consolidated 
entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that 
control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains 
on transactions between entities in the consolidated 
entity are eliminated except where such amounts arise 
on monetary items that form part of the net investments 
in a foreign operation, in which case they are recognised 
in reserves. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless 
the transaction provides evidence of the impairment 
of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to 
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the 
consolidated entity.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the 
acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership 
interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as 
an equity transaction, where the difference between the 
consideration transferred and the book value of the share 
of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised 
directly in equity attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of 
subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, 
statement of financial position and statement of changes 
in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred 
by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-
controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit 
balance.

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a 
subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, 
liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary 
together with any cumulative translation differences 
recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises 
the fair value of the consideration received and the fair 
value of any investment retained together with any gain 
or loss in profit or loss.

The Group manages its operations as a single business 
operation and there are no parts of the Group that 
qualify as operating segments under AASB 8 Operating 
Segments. The CEO (Chief Operating Decision Maker 
or “CODM”) assesses the financial performance of the 
Group in an integrated basis only and accordingly, the 
Group is managed on the basis of a single segment, 
being medical device research and development. 
Information presented to the CODM on a monthly basis is 
categorised by type of expenditure.

(f) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is Atomo Diagnostics Limited’s functional 
and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions:

Foreign currency transactions are translated into 
Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing 
at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange 
gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such 
transactions and from the translation at financial year-
end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in 
profit or loss.

Foreign operations:

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are 
translated into Australian dollars using the exchange 
rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of 
foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars 
using the average exchange rates, which approximate 
the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. 
All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised 
in other comprehensive income through the foreign 
currency reserve in equity.

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or 
loss when the foreign operation or net investment is 
disposed of.

(g) Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers and sale of 
goods

Revenue is measured based on the consideration 
specified in a contract with a customer. The Group 
recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good 
or service to a customer.

40

Customers obtain control of the HIV self-testing kits 
when the goods are ready and released by Quality 
Assurance (QA). It is then the responsibility of the 
customer to make the necessary arrangements for freight 
and the collection of goods from the Group’s warehouse. 
Invoices are generated once the goods are released by 
QA and ready for collection by the customer. Invoices are 
usually payable within 30 to 75 days, dependent on the 
contracted agreement. The contracts do not allow the 
customers to return the goods as the testing kits have 
a set shelf-life and have gone through vigorous testing 
prior to delivery.

Where sales are made to customers on an OEM basis 
for use in their own test, including for COVID-19, revenue 
is recognised at the point transfer of control over those 
products at the warehouse delivery point. 

Since none of the contracts permit the customer to 
return an item, revenue is recognised for all the goods 
once the goods have been released by QA and are 
available for collection at the Group’s warehouse.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using 
the effective interest method. This is a method of 
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and 
allocating the interest income over the relevant period 
using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through 
the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying 
amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when 
the right to receive payment is established.

(h) Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. 
It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that 
it relates to a business combination, or items recognised 
directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax:

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or 
receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and 
any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of 
previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or 
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax 
also includes any tax liability arising from dividends.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain 
criteria are met.

Deferred tax:

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary 
differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the 
amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is 
not recognised for temporary differences on the initial 
recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that 
is not a business combination and that affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or loss, or on taxable 
temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of 
goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, 
tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will 
be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred 
tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that 
the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions 
are reversed when the probability of future taxable 
profits improves.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at 
each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it 
has become probable that future taxable profits will be 
available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are 
expected to be applied to temporary differences when 
they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax 
consequences that could follow the manner in which the 
Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle 
the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain 
criteria are met.

R&D tax incentives:

R&D tax incentives received by the Group are recognised 
as other income over the periods necessary to match 
the benefit of the incentive with the costs for which it 
is intended to compensate (“associated costs”). Such 
periods will depend on whether the associated costs are 
capitalised or expensed as incurred.

Under this policy, for that portion of associated costs 
which are expensed during the period, the proportional 
incentive is recognised in other income in full during 
the same period. For that portion of associated costs 
which are capitalised during the period, the proportional 
incentive is initially offset against the capitalised 
associated costs and recognised against amortisation 
expense on a systematic basis matching the useful life of 
the capitalised asset.

41

(i) Current and non-current classification

(m) Property, plant and equipment

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement 
of financial position based on current and non-current 
classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either 
expected to be realised or intended to be sold or 
consumed in the consolidated entity’s normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it 
is expected to be realised within 12 months after the 
reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent 
unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle 
a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 
All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either 
expected to be settled in the consolidated entity’s normal 
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of 
trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after 
the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right 
to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 
months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are 
classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as 
non-current.

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with financial institutions, other 
short-term, highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

(k) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value 
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method, less any allowance for 
expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally 
due for settlement within 30 days but certain customers 
have longer payment terms.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less 
any allowance for expected credit losses.

(l) Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are 
stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 
‘first in first out’ basis. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the 
ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of 
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make 
the sale.

Recognition and measurement:

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured 
at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated 
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is 
directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and 
equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted 
for as separate items (major components) of property, 
plant and equipment.

Any gain and loss on disposal of an item of property, 
plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent expenditure:

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is 
probable that the future economic benefits associated 
with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

Depreciation:

Depreciation is calculated based on the cost of property, 
plant and equipment less their estimated residual values 
using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful 
lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. 

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and 
equipment are as follows:

Plant and equipment 

2 – 5 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values 
are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if 
appropriate.

(n) Leases

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease 
liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-
use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises 
the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any 
lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate 
of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or 
to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is 
located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using 
the straight-line method from the commencement date 
to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-
use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated 
useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on 
the same basis as those of property and equipment. In 
addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced 
by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain 
remeasurements of the lease liability.

42

The lease liability is initially measured at the present 
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the 
commencement date, discounted using the interest 
rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily 
determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. 
Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate 
as the discount rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method. It is remeasured when 
there is a change in future lease payments arising from 
a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the 
Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable 
under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes 
its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, 
extension or termination option.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use 
assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have 
a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-
value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments 
associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-
line basis over the lease term.

(o) Intangible assets

Recognition and measurement:

Computer software:
Computer software comprises computer application 
system software and licenses. Costs incurred in 
developing products or systems and costs incurred 
in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute 
to future period financial benefits through revenue 
generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to 
computer software. Costs capitalised include external 
direct costs of materials and services, direct payroll and 
payroll-related costs.

Patents, trademarks and licences:
Other intangible assets, including patents, trademarks 
and licences that are acquired by the Group and 
have finite useful lives are measured at cost less any 
accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Capitalised development costs:
Capitalised development costs relate to the Company’s 
rapid-deployment and associated manufacturing 
platforms and are only capitalised only if the expenditure 
can be measured reliably, the product or process is 
technically and commercially feasible, future economic 
benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has 
sufficient resources to complete development and to 
use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit 
or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, 
development expenditure is measured at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and any accumulated 
impairment losses.

Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit 
or loss as incurred. 

Subsequent expenditure:

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it 
increases the future economic benefits embodied in the 
specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, 
including expenditure on internally generated goodwill 
and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Amortisation:

Amortisation is calculated based on the cost of intangible 
assets less their estimated residual values using the 
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and 
is generally recognised in profit or loss.

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as 
follows:

Patents and trademarks 

10 – 20 years

Other intangibles 

10 years

Capitalised development costs 

10 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values 
are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if 
appropriate.

(p) Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets:

Financial assets not classified as at fair value through 
profit or loss are assessed at each reporting date to 
determine whether there is evidence of impairment.

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 asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are 
recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance 
account against loans and receivables. Interest on the 
impaired asset continues to be recognised. When a 
subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss 
to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed 
through profit or loss.

Non-financial assets:

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying 
amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred 
tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication 
of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the 
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is 
tested annually for impairment.

43

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into 
the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows 
from continuing use that are largely independent of the 
cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units 
(“CGUs”). Goodwill arising from a business combination is 
allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected 
to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the 
greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to 
sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash 
flows, 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 or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount 
of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. 
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They 
are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of 
any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce 
the carrying amount of assets in the CGU on a pro rata 
basis. 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 or amortisation, if no impairment loss had 
been recognised.

(q) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and 
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the 
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-
term nature they are measured at amortised cost and 
are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are 
usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(r) Financial instruments

Classification and measurement – non-derivative 
financial assets and financial liabilities:

On 1 July 2018 (the date of initial application of AASB 
9), the Group’s management assessed which business 
models applied to the financial assets held by the 
Group and classified its financial instruments into the 
appropriate AASB 9 categories.

Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity and loans 
and receivables under AASB 139 that were measured at 
amortised cost continued to be measured at amortised 
cost under AASB 9 as they are held within a business 
model to collect contractual cash flows and these cash 
flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest 
on the principal amount outstanding.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets, AASB 9 
requires an expected credit loss model as opposed to an 
incurred credit loss model under AASB 139. The expected 
credit loss model requires the Group to account for 
expected credit losses and changes in those expected 
credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in 
credit risk since initial recognition of the financial assets. 
Consequently, it is no longer necessary for a credit event 
to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

The Group has one type of financial assets (trade and 
other receivables) that are subject to AASB 9’s new 
expected credit loss model.

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at 
amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified 
as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it 
is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial 
recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at 
fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest 
expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial 
liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. Interest expense 
and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in 
profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also 
recognised in profit or loss.

Apart from the above, the application of AASB 9 had 
no impact on the classification and measurement of the 
Group’s financial assets and liabilities.

Convertible notes:

During the months of October and November 2019, 
the Company raised $16.05 million through the issue of 
converting notes. These notes were interest bearing at 
an annual rate of 10% and convertible at the earlier of the 
occurrence of a significant equity raising transaction, or 
twelve (12) months from the date of issue. Further details 
of the terms attaching to the converting notes can be 
found at Note 13.

All of the converting notes were converted into 
100,302,363 ordinary shares in the Company as part of 
the IPO which was completed in April 2020.

The convertible notes were treated as debt and were 
accounted for as two (2) components being:

a. a liability component; and

b. an embedded derivative liability.

44

The liability component of the converting notes was 
initially recognised at fair value. Any directly attributable 
transaction costs were allocated against the liability. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component 
of the converting note was measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. Interest related to 
the financial liability was recognised in profit or loss. On 
conversion, the financial liability was reclassified to equity 
and no gain or loss is recognised.

The embedded derivative component of the converting 
notes was initially measured at fair value through profit 
and loss and any net gains and losses were recognised 
in profit and loss. The value of this derivative was 
calculated using the Monte Carlo method and recognised 
at fair value through profit and loss. This component 
was revalued (for which the fair value movement 
was accounted for through profit and loss) and then 
reclassified to issued capital when the converting notes 
were converted into ordinary shares at the time of the 
Company’s IPO. 

Warrants

The warrants issued to GHIF as part of the GHIF loan 
(as described in Note 13) were initially recognised as a 
liability and measured at fair value through profit and loss 
and any net gains and losses were recognised in profit 
and loss.

This liability was revalued (for which the fair value 
movement was recognised through profit and loss) and 
then reclassified to issued capital when the warrants 
were exercised and converted into ordinary shares at the 
time of the Company’s IPO. 

(s) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present 
(legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past 
event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be 
required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate 
can be made of the amount of the obligation. The 
amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate 
of the consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at the reporting date, taking into account 
the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. 
If the time value of money is material, provisions are 
discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the 
liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the 
passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(t) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date 
are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when 
the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits:

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not 
expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting 
date are measured at the present value of expected 
future payments to be made in respect of services 
provided by employees up to the reporting date using 
the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given 
to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of 
employee departures and periods of service. Expected 
future payments are discounted using market yields at 
the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, 
the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense:

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation 
plans are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred.

Share-based payments:

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based 
compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or 
options over shares, that are provided to employees in 
exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled 
transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of 
services, where the amount of cash is determined by 
reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured 
at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently 
determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes 
option pricing model that takes into account the exercise 
price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the 
share price at grant date and expected price volatility of 
the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the 
risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together 
with non-vesting conditions that do not determine 
whether the consolidated entity receives the services 
that entitle the employees to receive payment. No 
account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

45

(u) Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, 
is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure 
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would 
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability 
in an orderly transaction between market participants at 
the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction 
will take place either: in the principal market; or in the 
absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous 
market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market 
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. 
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is 
based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques 
that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which 
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are 
used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs 
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified 
into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that 
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making 
the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at 
each reporting date and transfers between levels are 
determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level 
of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, 
external valuers may be used when internal expertise 
is either not available or when the valuation is deemed 
to be significant. External valuers are selected based 
on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a 
significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from 
one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which 
includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the 
latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with 
external sources of data.

(v) Issued capital

Ordinary shares, Class B shares and Ord+ shares are 
classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net 
of tax, from the proceeds.

(w) Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the 
financial year and no longer at the discretion of the 
company.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as 
an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over 
the vesting period. Where early exercise has occurred, 
this cost is accelerated. The cumulative charge to profit 
or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value 
of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards 
that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the 
vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss 
for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at 
each reporting date less amounts already recognised in 
previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at 
each reporting date until vested, determined by applying 
either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, 
taking into consideration the terms and conditions on 
which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to 
profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated 
as follows:

•  during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting 
date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied 
by the expired portion of the vesting period.

•  from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the 
award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at 
the reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. 
The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash 
paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in 
determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to 
market conditions are considered to vest irrespective 
of whether or not that market condition has been met, 
provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum 
an expense is recognised as if the modification has 
not been made. An additional expense is recognised, 
over the remaining vesting period, for any modification 
that increases the total fair value of the share-based 
compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the 
consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy 
the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition 
is not within the control of the consolidated entity or 
employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, 
any remaining expense for the award is recognised over 
the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as 
if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any 
remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new 
replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, 
the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a 
modification.

(x) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share:

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

Diluted earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in 
the determination of basic earnings per share to take 
into account the after income tax effect of interest and 
other financing costs associated with dilutive potential 
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of 
shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration 
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(y) Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar 
taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred 
is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it 
is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the 
asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the 
amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount 
of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority 
is included in other receivables or other payables in the 
statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST 
components of cash flows arising from investing or 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or 
payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating 
cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the 
amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax 
authority.

(z) Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities 
and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-
off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in 
accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the 
nearest dollar. 

NOTE 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, 
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the 
financial statements. Management continually evaluates 
its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, 
liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. 
Management bases its judgements, estimates and 
assumptions on historical experience and on other 
various factors, including expectations of future events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and 
estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. 
The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have 
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to 
the respective notes) within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions:

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled 
transactions with employees by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instruments at the date at which 
they are granted. The fair value of options is determined 
by using the Black- Scholes model taking into account 
the terms and conditions upon which the instruments 
were granted and includes assumptions which require 
judgement.

The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to 
equity-settled share-based payments would have no 
impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
within the next annual reporting period but may impact 
profit or loss and equity.

Allowance for expected credit losses:

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment 
requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is 
based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped 
based on days overdue, and makes assumptions 
to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for 
each group. These assumptions include recent sales 
experience and historical collection rates.

Write-down of inventories:

Any write-down of inventories requires a degree of 
estimation and judgement. The level of the write-down 
is assessed by taking into account the recent sales 
experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors 
that affect inventory obsolescence.

The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, 
measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, 
based on the lowest level of input that is significant to 
the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted 
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical 
assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted 
prices included within Level 1 that are observable for 
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 
Considerable judgement is required to determine what is 
significant to fair value and therefore which category the 
asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 
3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These 
include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of 
observable inputs that require significant adjustments 
based on unobservable inputs.

Estimation of useful lives of assets:

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and 
related depreciation and amortisation charges for its 
property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible 
assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a 
result of technical innovations or some other event. The 
depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where 
the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, 
or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have 
been abandoned or sold will be written off or written 
down.

Impairment of intangible assets:

The Group tests intangible assets for impairment for 
each reporting period or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate it has suffered any 
impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy 
stated in Note 3(o). The recoverable amount of a cash 
generating unit (“CGU”) is determined based on value-
in-use calculations whereby cash flows are projected and 
extrapolated over a five year period with growth rates 
that do not exceed the long-term average growth rate 
for the market in which the Group operates. The discount 
rate used reflects the Group’s pre-tax weighted average 
cost of capital.

relevant tax authorities on the Group’s research and development expenditure. Refer to Note 1(h) for the Group’s 
accounting polity for R&D tax incentives.

(c) Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Due to the uncertainty of the Group generating sufficient taxable income to offset tax losses carried forward, the 
future tax benefits of these losses, to the extent that they do not set off temporary differences that have resulted in 
deferred tax liabilities,  has not been brought to account in these financial statements.

Loan from Global Health Investment Fund LLC (“GHIF”):

Converting notes:

During the year ended 30 June 2020, the loan from GHIF 
was repaid in full.

In December 2015, the Company received a loan from 
GHIF for an amount of US$6,000,000. The principal of 
the loan was repayable: 

(i)  20% of the principal drawn by 30 June 2020; 

(ii)  a further 35% of the principal drawn by 31 December 

2020; and 

(iii) the remainder of the loan by 31 December 2021. 

Interest was payable at the rate of 7% annually in arrears 
at 31 December each year. Security was provided by 
a floating charge over the revolving assets (inventory, 
negotiable instruments and plant and equipment) of the 
Company and a fixed charge over all other collateral (all 
other property).

The loan agreement required certain performance 
commitments including:

(i)  making products and services available to 
disadvantaged patients on a tiered pricing 
structure. This commitment also applied to partners, 
distributors of the Company or assignee of 
intellectual property; and 

(ii)  until full repayment of the loan, dividends or 

distributions paid by the Company could not exceed 
50% of the cumulative retained profits of the 
Company.

GHIF also had an option to receive up to 2,727,273 shares 
(or 21,818,184 on a post share split basis) in the Company 
at an exercise price of US$0.55 which was exercised on a 
cash-less basis prior to the IPO ultimately resulting in the 
issue of 10,868,183 shares (on a post share split basis). 

These options were initially recognised as a liability 
and measured at fair value through profit and loss and 
any net gains and losses were recognised in profit and 
loss. This liability was revalued (for which the fair value 
movement was recognised through profit and loss) and 
then reclassified to issued capital when the warrants 
were exercised and converted into ordinary shares at the 
time of the Company’s IPO. 

During the months of October and November 2019, 
the Company raised $16.05 million through the issue of 
converting notes. These notes were interest bearing at 
an annual rate of 10% and convertible at the earlier of the 
occurrence of a significant equity raising transaction, or 
twelve (12) months from the date of issue. Of the $16.05 
million, a non-cash portion amounting to $1.76 million 
was issued to GHIF in satisfaction of the first repayment 
of their loan (as described above).

Of the $16.05 million, a non-cash portion amounting 
to $1.76 million was issued to Global Health Investment 
Fund LLC (“GHIF”) in satisfaction of the first repayment 
of their loan (see above).  

All of the converting notes were converted into 
100,302,363 ordinary shares in the Company as part of 
the IPO at a 20% discount to the IPO price in accordance 
with the terms of the converting notes which were as 
follows:

a.  The converting notes were to convert into ordinary 

shares at the earlier of:

(i)  twelve (12) months from the date of issue; or

(ii)   on the occurrence of a “conversion event”  

being either:

-  an “initial public offering event” being the 

receipt by the Company of conditional approval 
from either the Australian Securities Exchange 
or any other financial market as applicable;

-  a “capital raising event” being a capital raising 

undertaken by the Company to raise a minimum 
of AUD$15 million, but does not include any 
capital raising undertaken by the Company as 
part of an initial public offering; or

-  a “change of control event” being any event 

which has the effect of a change in control of 
the Company.

b.  The conversion price of the converting notes to 

ordinary shares was to be:

(i)   if the converting notes convert on the occurrence 
of an “initial public offering event”, the lesser of 
80% of the issue price under the prospectus, or 
the “maximum conversion price”;

(ii)   if the converting notes convert on the occurrence 
of a “capital raising event”, the lesser of 80% of 
the issue price under the capital raising, or the 
“maximum conversion price”;

The current provision for employee benefits includes 
all unconditional entitlements where employees have 
completed the required period of service and also those 
where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in 
certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as 
current since the consolidated entity does not have an 
unconditional right to defer settlement. 

(iii)  if the converting notes convert on the occurrence 
of a “control event”, the lesser of 80% of the 
last price per share at which the control event 
occurred, of the “maximum conversion price”; or

(iv)  if the converting notes convert at maturity, the 
lesser of 70% of the fair market value per share, 
or the “maximum conversion price”.

For the purpose of the above, “maximum conversion 
price” means:

(i)   if the converting notes convert on the occurrence 
of an “initial public offering event”, a “capital 
raising event” or a “control event”, then the 
price per share equal to 80% of AUD$65 million 
divided by the number of shares on issue 
immediately prior to the occurrence of the 
conversion event; or

(ii)   if the converting notes convert on maturity, then 
the price per share equal to 70% of AUD$65 
million divided by the number of shares on 
issue immediately prior to the occurrence of the 
conversion event.

The variable conversion terms set out above gave rise 
to an embedded derivative attached to the converting 
notes. The value of this derivative was calculated using 
the Monte Carlo method and recognised at fair value 
through profit and loss.

Ord+ shares:

During the year, 15,630,816 Ord+ shares (post share 
split) were converted into ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis 
pursuant to approval by shareholders on 19 December 
2019. As at 30 June 2020, no Ord+ shares remained on 
issue.

Ord+ shares had the same rights as ordinary voting 
shares and were subject to the terms of the Investors 
Agreements and the Company’s Constitution, save for 
the special terms that attached to Ord+ shares which 
were as follows:

i. 

the shares were issued with an accompanying 
entitlement to bonus shares which were to be 
issued in the event that a subsequent capital activity 
occurred at a price less than $1.50 per ordinary share; 
and

ii. 

the bonus shares entitlement applied in respect of 
the next capital activity that had one of the following 
characteristics:

a.  if the company issued further ordinary shares for 
a price less than $1.50 ($0.1875 on a post share 
split basis) per share (other than in response to 
the exercise of existing share options or warrants), 
with an aggregate issue offer value in excess of 
$3,000,000; or

b.  if an agreement was made by which all of the 

ordinary shares in the Company were to be sold 
at an average price of less that $1.50 ($0.1875 on a 
post share split basis) per share.

Capital risk management:

The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to 
safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits 
for other stakeholders, maintain sufficient financial 
flexibility to pursue its growth objectives and to maintain 
an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of 
capital.

NOTE 16. EQUITY – ISSUED CAPITAL 
(CONTINUED)

Ordinary shares:

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in 
dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the 
company in proportion to the number of and amounts 
paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares 
have no par value and the company does not have a 
limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting 
in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll 
each share shall have one vote.

Class B shares:

During the year and concurrently with the IPO, 
47,838,768 B Class shares (post share split) were 
converted into ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis pursuant to 
approval by shareholders on 19 December 2019. As at 30 
June 2020, no B Class shares remained on issue.

B Class shares had the same rights as ordinary voting 
shares and were subject to the terms of the Investors 
Agreements and the Company’s Constitution, save for 
the special terms that attached to B Class shares which 
were as follows:

i.  upon winding-up of the Company, each B Class share 

would convert into 1.2 ordinary shares;

ii. 

iii. 

in the event of sale of all the shares in the Company 
for a total consideration of not more than 
US$20,000,000, each B Class share would convert 
into 1.2 ordinary shares with effect immediately 
prior to the sale. If the sale price was more than 
US$20,000,000 then the B Class shares would 
convert into ordinary shares on a 1 for 1 basis;

in the event of listing of the Company’s shares on a 
securities exchange at an initial price implying a total 
company market capitalisation of not more than 
US$20,000,000, each B Class share would convert 
into 1.2 ordinary shares with effect immediately prior 
to the sale. If the initial price implies a total company 
market capitalisation of more than US$20,000,000 
then the B class shares would convert into ordinary 
shares 1 for 1; and

iv.  for any period when a B Class shareholder holds 
a minimum of 2 million shares in the Company 
(whether B class or ordinary shares), the shareholder 
would have the right to appoint a Director to the 
board.

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Market risk:

Financial risk management objectives:

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial 
risks including market risk (including foreign currency 
risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and 
liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management 
objectives seek to minimise potential adverse effects on 
the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses 
different methods to measure different types of risk to 
which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity 
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and 
other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta 
analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine 
market risk.

Risk management is carried out by senior finance 
executives (‘finance’) under policies approved by the 
Board of Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include 
identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the 
Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk 
limits. Finance identifies and evaluates financial risks 
within the Group. Finance reports to the Board on a 
monthly basis.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash 
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because 
of changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange 
rates and interest rates. The objective of market 
risk management is to manage and control market 
risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while 
optimising the return.

Foreign currency risk:

The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions 
denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to 
foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate 
fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial 
transactions and recognised financial assets and financial 
liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the 
entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using 
sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s foreign 
currency denominated financial assets and financial 
liabilities at the reporting date were as follows:

British Pounds

South African Rand

Japanese Yen

Reasonably possible movements in the Australian dollar against all other currencies as at 30 June 2020 would have 
affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected profit or loss and 
equity by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and ignores any 
impact of forecast sales and purchases:

Price risk:

Liquidity risk:

The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk:

As at 30 June 2020, the Group was not exposed to any 
significant interest rate risk. There is minimal exposure 
to the impact of adverse changes in benchmark interest 
rates.

The Group was exposed to variable interest rate risks 
on cash and short-term deposits. A reasonably possible 
change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the 
reporting date would have increased or decreased profit 
before tax by $100,041 This analysis assumes that all 
other variables remain constant.

Credit risk:

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will 
default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the Group. The Group has a code of credit, 
including undertaking customer due diligence, confirming 
references and setting appropriate credit limits as 
appropriate. The maximum exposure to credit risk at 
the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the 
carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of 
those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial 
position and notes to the financial statements. 

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is 
no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this 
include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment 
plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make 
contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter 
difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its 
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or 
another financial asset. The Group manages liquidity risk 
by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available 
borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual 
and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity 
profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Financing arrangements:

The Group has no used or unused financing facilities in 
place as at 30 June 2020.

As at 30 June 2019, the Group had a single borrowing 
facility with GHIF. There were no unused amounts on this 
facility as at 30 June 2019. Refer to Note 13 for further 
details. 

Remaining contractual maturities:

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining 
contractual maturity for its financial instrument 
liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the 
undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based 
on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are 
required to be paid. The tables include both interest and 
principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual 
maturities and therefore these totals may differ from 
their carrying amount in the statement of financial 
position.

During the 2016 financial year, the Group received a grant from The NSW Health Medical Devices Fund for $1.8 million 
to support development and validation of a digitally integrated and e-health enabled version of the AtomoRapid HIV 
Self Test. The project has detailed budget and completion milestones. The funding is classified as a grant, however, if 
the Group achieves a result greater than $500,000 EBITDA from sales of products specifically developed under the 
project, then repayments of the grant and an amount of imputed capitalised interest will be required. It is not foreseen 
that the Group will earn EBITDA greater than $500,000 from products developed under the project.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Atomo Diagnostics Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Atomo Diagnostics Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.

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

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion

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

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.

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

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO
Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of
BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters. 

Recognition and conversion of financial instruments 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

As set out in note 13, the Group issued convertible 

Our procedures, amongst others, included: 

 

 

 

 

Review the convertible debt and borrowing 
agreements held to verify whether the input 
used within the different calculations is 
appropriately; 

Review the calculated effective interest rate 
method to account for the unwinding of the 
liability component of the borrowings and 
convertible note; 

Review the fair value calculation of the 
derivative liabilities upon initial recognition and 
right before conversion and whether the 
movement was accounted for through profit and 
loss; and 

Verify whether the recognition and conversion 
of these financial instruments is in accordance 
with Australian Accounting Standards.  

notes amounting to a face value of $16m during the 

year which were subsequently converted into common 

shares upon Initial Public Offering (IPO). In addition the 

Group paid back their USD$6m GHIF loan during the 

period. Accounting for these notes and borrowings and 

the subsequent measurement is complex and the 

valuation requires significant judgement. The 

conversion price clause attached to the convertible 

notes and the warrants attached to the GHIF loan were 

in both cases defined as a separate derivative liability 

and segregated from the host instrument. A valuation 

exercise was carried out by management at initial 

recognition and immediately before conversion with 

respect to these derivative liabilities, which required 

judgement and estimation. The derivative liability is 

measured at fair value through profit and loss. The 

liability component of both financial instruments is 

measured at amortised costs using the effective 

interest rate method.  

The audit of these financial instruments is a key audit 

matter due to the significant judgment and complexity 

involved in assessing the determination of the fair 

value of the identified derivative liabilities and the 

complexities within the effective interest rate method.   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
75

Revenue recognition 

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

As disclosed in Note 3, the Group recognised revenue 

Our procedures, amongst others, included: 

from the sale of goods of $5,368,698 for the year 

ended 30 June 2020. Revenue was identified as a key 

audit matter as it is a key performance indicator to the 

users of the financial report. 

• 

Considering whether the revenue recognition 

policies are in accordance with Australian 

Accounting Standards and the Group’s 

accounting policies described in Note 1; 

• 

• 

Substantive testing around year end to 
ensure that revenue is correctly recorded in 
the period to which it relates; and 

Select a sample of revenue transactions 
during the year and substantively test to 
ensure that the revenues have been 
appropriately reflected in the financial 
statements for the year ended 30 June 
2020. 

Other information  

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

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

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report  

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

 
 
 
 
 
76

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.  Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
