02 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

1. Infectious disease testing 

I write to you as we see signs of the COVID-19 
pandemic easing and realise the benefits of 
the widespread adoption of rapid testing. The 
community’s everyday experiences of the 
pandemic include the widespread adoption of 
rapid testing in the workplace and at home, in 
addition to established clinical settings. The 
benefits of frequent and convenient screening 
relieve demands on centralised testing resources. 
The growing popularity of rapid testing reflects 
people exercising a greater level of control over 
their health. Self-testing allows individuals to 
accurately assess and act, based on their condition. 
It is against this transformed landscape that I am 
pleased to introduce Atomo Diagnostics’ Annual 
Report for the 2022 Financial Year. 

OUR BUSINESS

Atomo supplies devices and screening tests for 
the rapid testing of medical conditions by 
professional users and consumers, detecting 
infectious diseases and chronic health conditions 
and assessing consumer wellness. Atomo 
participates in three markets in the development 
and commercialisation of diagnostic devices:

Atomo develops, commercialises and sells  
finished products such as Atomo’s HIV Tests.  
Atomo contracted with US partner Access Bio  
to secure supplies of COVID-19 rapid antigen  
tests, delivered into Australian markets as  
Atomo COVID-19 rapid antigen tests.

2. OEM+ devices 

Atomo partners in the development and supply  
of our products for use in our partners’ rapid tests. 
The extent of our involvement in this process sees 
us describe the Original Equipment Manufacturer 
activity as OEM+. Tests include NG Biotech’s 
pregnancy test and Lumos Diagnostics’ FebriDx 
test, which identifies whether a condition is caused 
by a viral or bacterial infection. Atomo also supplies 
devices to both NG Biotech and Access Bio for their 
blood-based rapid antibody tests for the European 
and US markets respectively.

3. Consumer health and wellness 

Responding to decentralising health services, 
Atomo’s user-centric designed devices allow  
end users timely and accurate rapid test results.

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22

The accelerated adoption of rapid testing for 
COVID-19 is viewed as a watershed moment in 
the decentralisation of screening diagnostics and 
its acceptance by regulators and public health 
authorities. We see this in the continued popularity 
and adoption of telehealth consultations and 
corresponding validation by health authorities, 
insurers, and clinicians. 

In late 2021, we welcomed the TGA relieving 
restrictions on the sale of HIV self-tests,  
announcing in June 2022 that Atomo would  
partner with the Pharmacy Guild to develop 
education in HIV self-testing. 

During the year, we announced a material 
extension to our diagnostics products. We started 
developing swab and saliva devices to add to 
our existing portfolio of blood-based lateral flow 
devices, significantly expanding the addressable 
market in which Atomo can participate. Atomo’s 
swab device reflects our user-centric approach 
while incorporating the use of our blister to 
affect controlled solution delivery and utilise 
existing IP. 

OUR CAPABILITIES AND  
REGULATORY APPROVALS

We responded to the immediate requirements 
to serve the public health needs arising from 
the COVID-19 pandemic. We also continued 
growing our production capability and product 
development, seeking out regulatory and other 
requisite approvals. 

OUR PEOPLE 

The people who make up Atomo – its executives, 
management, Board and our team – work tirelessly 
on the opportunities for rapid diagnostic testing 
that have become ever more apparent through  
the pandemic. 

Reflecting this growth, we are delighted to 
welcome San Diego-based Jim McMenamy as 
Head of Business Development and Partnerships, 
and London-based Anna Tucker as Vice President, 
Development – Europe, the Middle East and Africa. 
We celebrated Chandra Sukumar’s promotion 
to COO after four years with the company, an 
appointment that involved an extensive external 
and internal search. We thanked UK-based Mark 
Smith as he retired as our longstanding COO. 

We are also thrilled to have Palo Alto-based 
Deborah Neff join the Atomo Board as an 
Independent Non-Executive Director. Deborah’s 
contribution to the Board draws from her extensive 
executive responsibilities in healthcare and life 
sciences. Deborah chairs our People, Culture and 
Remuneration Committee among other roles. We 
thanked Connie Carnabuci as she retired from the 
Board.

John Kelly, CEO, and Will Souter, CFO, have  
led with care and acumen throughout the year, 
navigating conditions that have offered changing 
opportunities and different risks. On behalf of 
shareholders, the Board warmly recognises these 
considerable efforts. 

Atomo continues to deliver on its objective to be 
a global leader in rapid diagnostics. The adoption 
of rapid diagnostics during the pandemic has 
changed users’ behaviours and expectations of 
testing. Atomo will continue to meet such demand. 
We welcome your continuing support and hope 
that you share in our excitement. 

John Keith 

Chair, Atomo Board

03 CEO REPORT

Atomo has, through the course of FY22, strived 
to balance two, at times resource competitive, 
objectives. On the one hand, there was a clear 
focus on near-term revenue generation through 
participation in the rapidly emerging COVID-19 test 
market. On the other, continuing to establish the 
company’s unique, integrated, user-friendly testing 
platforms as preferred solutions in the global point-
of-care test market.

This enabled the company to generate $14 million 
in revenue from customers, more than doubling 
revenue when compared to the prior period. And, 
importantly, providing a strong balance sheet as 
the company increasingly switches to commercial 
activities, particularly in the US. 

Further, a continued focus on delivering the core 
value proposition of better blood-based testing has 
increased engagement with the diagnostics market 
as it began its transition out of a COVID-19 pandemic 
mindset and into the vastly changed acceptance of 
home-based testing.

Early in the pandemic we also recognised the 
need to expand Atomo’s range of products beyond 
blood-based testing. Our aim was to include swab 
and saliva-based solutions, and we have spent the 
last twelve months developing an integrated swab 
test device with the aim of improving workflow 
and test performance in swab-based testing. Proof 

of concept has been completed, with preliminary 
usability and performance evaluations carried out 
in Q4 FY21 suggesting that the swab device meets its 
goals. Initial market feedback on this product, when 
presented recently at a major US trade conference, 
was encouraging. 

Atomo has also completed the build of its 
proprietary second-generation automated blister 
production system; and that equipment is currently 
being qualified in Sydney. This will give the company 
the ability to manufacture up to 16 million blister 
components and support commercial scale-up of 
both blood and swab-based products.

With the completion of most of the planned capital 
investment in production capacity, plant, and 
equipment there is now a shift of focus and spending 
towards commercial scale-up. This has included 
the establishment of a US subsidiary to support 
US market engagement and, as mentioned in the 
Chairman’s letter, the recruitment of several senior 
commercial resources in the US and Europe. This 
has enabled Atomo to exhibit at several recent 
conferences and raise awareness of the company 
and its unique product offerings. It has been pleasing 
that many US-based attendees have now seen 
first-hand the benefits of Atomo after several years 
of cancelled industry events and the inability of our 
management team to leave Australia.

The point-of-care market is now undergoing 
structural transformation as a result of the COVID-19 
pandemic, with the rapid emergence of telehealth-
supported healthcare, broad acceptance of home 
testing by the public and reduced clinical and 
regulatory barriers to expansion. The scale of this 
emerging opportunity, combined with reduced 
barriers to adoption, has seen the recent entry of 
large commercial players, including Amazon, to 
the sector. Additionally, there has been increased 
activity by established healthcare retailers looking  
to adapt to this new healthcare model where 
patients increasingly take more responsibility for 
their own healthcare and are demanding greater 
levels of access and convenience.

Atomo believes that the increased focus on 
decentralised testing channels, particularly 
pharmacy and home-based testing, enlarges the 
addressable market for our consumer-focused 
solutions. We have been encouraged by the interest 
shown in our product solutions by both established 
diagnostic companies and emerging eHeath 
providers during FY22.

We are also pleased to report on the continued 
improvement in our financial performance, detailed 
in this report. In FY22, customer revenues increased 
by 108% to $14.0m, with cash receipts from sales to 
customers for the year totalling $16.4m. Revenue 
growth was driven primarily by COVID-19-related 
product sales, with more than one million tests sold 
during the period. HIV Self-Test sales also increased 
during the period, with unit sales totalling more than 
500,000 tests, including strong pick up in Australian 
sales volumes following a change in TGA guidelines. 
These guidelines related to the promotion of the 
Atomo HIV Self-Test and the removal of a prohibition 
of its supply via pharmacies in December 2021.

As we move into FY23, Atomo is working to increase 
revenues associated with its current core business. 
In the HIV market, we continue to see sales growth in 
the Self-Test business across LMIC, Europe and here 
in Australia, and look to launching our professional 
use product in key international markets this 
year. We are also seeing a return to ordering from 
our existing OEM customer base. Beyond existing 
channels, Atomo remains focused on increased 
engagement with the broader diagnostic market 
and on raising awareness around Atomo’s unique 
solutions, especially in the US market where the 
opportunity for growth in the emerging home 
test market is clearly defined. We can point to the 
successful approvals, including Self-Test approval, 
that Atomo’s OEM customers have been able to 
achieve using our platforms and are encouraged by 
the return of projects for blood-based testing and 
new rapid test developments beyond COVID-19.

Outside of OEM channel opportunities, we are 
excited by the emergence of a home testing segment 
supported by the rapid adoption of telehealth 
in the home and the widespread acceptance of 
at-home testing by the public, and we note with 
interest the entry of large eCommerce players to 
the space in the last year. Atomo is actively engaged 
with participants in this market that are seeking to 
build an online healthcare presence and intends to 
commercialise a number of new finished tests that 
address opportunities in the home test market. As 
we anticipate the most significant impact of the 
COVID-19 pandemic being behind us, FY23 promises 
to be an exciting year for Atomo. We will expand 
our core business and enter into new product 
applications, partnerships, and markets globally. 

John Kelly 
CEO, Atomo

John Kelly 

CEO

COVID-19 has transformed the diagnostic testing 
landscape globally. In the early stages of the 
pandemic, Atomo supported its existing partners 
in securing approval for a rapid blood-based 
Antibody test in Europe and the US and invested 
time securing Rapid Antigen Test approval in 
Australia so that we could respond quickly when 
this technology was needed by the community.  
This enabled us to be an active participant in 
the COVID-19 market while continuing to drive 
forward with our core business of HIV Testing, 
assessing new product and OEM opportunities 
and continuing the development of unique user 
focused rapid test devices. 

OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY  
AND EXPERTISE

Atomo has completed the expansion of its 
manufacturing capabilities to enable the company 
to commercialise a larger range of finished home 
tests and deliver better supply economics.

John Keith 

Chair, Atomo Board

Atomo is now switching focus and investment from 
the expansion of installed manufacturing capacity, 
which is now complete, to commercial scale up and 
business development, including focusing on:

•  Expansion of senior commercial resourcing and 

associated engagement with market and channel 
partners;  

•  Attendance at key industry conferences – AACC, 

Next Gen Dx, Medica and Arab Health;

•  Refreshed marketing, collateral and increased 

promotion – website, materials, videos (watch our 
Corporate video at https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=RVA3BBcOUP4&t=23s).

•  Scale up of Atomo’s OEM customer base utilising 

our proven blood testing platforms, eHealth 
solutions and in future Atomo’s swab device, 
across key OEM channels;

•  Direct engagement and promotion to diagnostic 

companies; 

•  Establish a number of reseller partnerships – 
development companies with access to new  
test development programs; and

•  Explore adjacent market opportunities,  

including animal health.

-  A swab-based test utilising the Atomo swab 
device (once commercialised) – applications 
of potential interest include COVID/ Flu A & B 
combo plus a number of swab based STI’s.

DIGITAL INTEGRATION FOR  
RAPID TESTING

The importance of digital health
•  Digital health is changing how we predict, 

monitor, manage and make decisions about our 
health and well-being. Digital health supports 
the delivery of healthcare in a broader range 
of settings. Digital connectivity enhances the 
performance and usefulness of rapid testing 
within the healthcare ecosystem. The ability 
to promptly deliver actionable diagnoses in 
multimedia formats improves test outcomes.  
The ability to automatically read accurate results 
and, in many cases, quantitate the level of analyte 
removes user interpretation errors and provides 
increased precision in determining diagnostic 
outcomes.

•  The ability of digital health solutions to capture 
and transmit results provides traceability and  
eligibility for reimbursement, both of which 
are necessary for widespread adoption in the 
healthcare system. Rapidly connecting the dots 
between patients, healthcare professionals 
and supporters (either public health or 
private insurers) is critical to the emergence of 
decentralised testing channels in pharmacy  
retail and increasingly in the home.

•  The US is leading changes in the adoption 
of digital health support services and is 
implementing regulation that will optimise 
product speed to market while maintaining  
device safety and effectiveness.

COMMERCIALISATION ROADMAP

Atomo has reviewed the changing point of care  
test landscape post-pandemic, including 
engagement with emerging eHealth companies 
now opening up home-based healthcare. This 
assessment of emerging product demand, 
technical feasibility, regulatory pathway, and  
go-to-market channels is enabling the company  
to finalise its growth planning.

The company now intends to bring to market 
during FY23 and FY24, in partnership with an 
established rapid test player, a number of home 
test and professional point of care tests utilising 
Atomo’s integrated cassette and digital solutions.

Atomo’s focus on digital health
•  During the year, Atomo developed two platform 
offerings for use in the digital health space: an 
app and a digital reader solution. The app will 
accompany our existing platforms for use in 
home settings. The second solution is a portable 
reader compatible with our platforms for use in 
professional point of care settings, such as doctor 
offices and pharmacies.

•  The app has been specifically designed for 
untrained, self-test users and includes easy-
to-follow, animated steps of use, an integrated 
incubation timer, functionality to capture a photo 
of the developed test, confirmation that  blood 
has been delivered to the test and interpretation 
of results via image recognition. The result is then 
stored within the app and can be shared with a 
physician or nominated organisations such as 
insurance providers or employer.

•  The reader solution is designed for fast, 

quantitative throughput in point of care and 
resource limited professional use settings.  
Atomo is working with a number of leading  
reader manufacturers to ensure that the readers 
of the future in these channels are compatible 
with Atomo’s cassettes and that Atomo has a 
reader option to offer its customer base as well  
as being available for Atomo finished tests.

EXPANDING DEMAND FOR OEM SUPPLY

Post-COVID-19, Atomo is actively engaging with a receptive diagnostic market

Resurgent interest in new  
products and home testing

•  Atomo has invested in growing our international 

footprint, with a US corporate structure established  
and senior business development resources engaged  
in the US and Europe.

•  Atomo has seen an increase in enquiries and  

interest in new test development alongside a significant 
market increase in point of care and home-based testing 
post pandemic.

Anna Tucker and Jim McMenamy representing Atomo at AACC

•  Recent engagement with the market, most recently at AACC and the Next Gen Dx conferences in the US, 
is helping to raise awareness of Atomo in the industry and provides the company with confidence in the 
commercial opportunities open to its blood and swab-based solutions. Recent market engagement also 
generates an extensive list of potential new channel partners and customers.

Scalable solutions
With existing in-market products and customers, regulatory approvals and established production all 
demonstrated, Atomo’s products are well positioned to establish themselves as a gold standard  for  
usability in rapid testing and offer the company an opportunity to rapidly expand its customer  base  
and applications menu through partnerships.

The Company Secretary is Tharun Kuppanda, who was appointed on 25 January 2022

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 $5,706,854 (2021: loss 
of $6,021,215).

Revenue from customers increased by 108% for  
the year to $13.99 million, compared with $6.72 
million in 2021. Revenue growth was driven by:

•  a substantial increase in sales of COVID-19  

rapid tests which accounted for $10.4 million  
in revenue, with more than one million tests  
sold in Australia;

•  an increase in sales of HIV products, with more 

than half a million tests sold and revenue  
of $1.8 million;

Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2022 
amounted to $12.97 million compared to $17.95 
million as at 30 June 2021. Cash was invested in 
completing investment in manufacturing and 
production capacity such that Atomo is now 
in a position to produce its Galileo and Pascal 
blood-based rapid test devices at scale. Further, 
ongoing investment was made in R&D to continue 
innovation in rapid test devices, including in the 
research, design, development and initial pilot 
scale production of a swab-based device. Atomo 
also invested in growing its international footprint, 
with a US corporate structure established and 
senior business development resources engaged  
in the US and Europe.

Significant changes in the state  
of affairs 

•  On 8 November 2021, the Company issued 

320,000 share options to William Souter, CFO, 
in relation to employment agreement re-
negotiation. These options are exercisable at an 
exercise price of $0.25 per option and expire on  
14 April 2024.

•  revenue in relation to licence and settlement  

•  During the period, 2,293,184 options were 

fees with customer Access Bio of $1.65 million,  
reported as Other Income; and

•  a further $120,000 in other customer revenues.

exercised resulting in the issue of 2,293,184 
ordinary shares and a $68,800 cash contribution 
when the exercise price was paid.

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22•  Tranche 1 (2,000,000 options) issued to Bondi 
Partners on 31 May 2021 were fully vested on  
31 October 2022. These options are exercisable  
at an exercise price of $0.40 per option and  
expire on 30 April 2024.

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

•  1,733,335 options issued to executives under the 
Company's Post-IPO option plan lapsed as the 
KPIs applicable to the options were not satisfied 
with respect to the year ended 30 June 2022.

•  The Board has exercised its discretion to allocate 

1,199,999 options to executives under the 
Company's post-IPO option plan to reward the 
diligent execution of the corporate strategy and  
to ensure retention of the key talent needed  
to deliver strategic outcomes in the interest  
of shareholders.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 
30 June 2022 that has significantly affected, or  
may significantly affect the Group’s operations,  
the results of those operations, or the Group's  
state of affairs in future financial years.

Impacts of COVID-19

During FY22, COVID-19 continued to have an 
impact on operating conditions for the Company, 
both positive and negative. Customers and target 
customers in the diagnostics industry continued to 
focus their efforts and investment on responding 
to demand for COVID-19 testing solutions and 
prioritised these over other opportunities. This 
continued to delay some opportunities for Atomo 

to move more quickly ahead with new partnerships 
for OEM sales or finished product development. 
The company’s performance was positively 
impacted by COVID-19 as the Delta and Omicron 
variants drove significant demand for Atomo’s 
COVID-19 rapid tests in Australia over the period, 
resulting in sales of more than one million tests  
to the local Australian market in FY22.

Likely developments and expected 
results of operations

With approximately $13 million of cash at bank 
and no debt, Atomo is in a position to continue to 
vigorously pursue its strategic goals in FY23. This 
includes focusing on the following areas of activity:

•  Continuing to support customer demand for 

COVID-19 testing solutions as and when required, 
and in the event that new variants impact on the 
dynamics of the market;

•  Continue to expand the Atomo HIV Self-Test 

and point of care business, including growing 
the Australian market, working with existing 
distributors to ramp up activity in the UK, Europe 
and global health markets, and targeting the 
appointment of new distributors for the Atomo 
HIV professional use product; 

•  Build and expand the OEM customer pipeline with 
continued ramp up in market-facing activities in 
developed markets, in particular Australia,  
North America and UK/Europe;

•  Finalise development and optimisation 

of the Atomo swab device and seek initial 
commercialisation partners; and

•  Continue to work on integration of digital 
functionality to enhance Atomo’s product offerings, 
in particular the Atomo App for home use and a  
clip in reader for point of care settings.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RISKS

The Group’s operations are not subject to any 
significant environmental regulation under 
Australian Commonwealth or State law.

The Company has identified the following 
sustainability issues most material to its business 
and are important to key stakeholders such 
as investors, consumers, customers, supplier, 
governments and employees.

•  Employee health and safety: Ensuring our 
employees work in a safe environment, 
which meets or exceeds relevant regulatory 
expectations, addresses health and safety 
concerns as they arise and mitigates the risk of 
reoccurrence of incidents.

•  Product quality and safety: Choosing materials 
from quality sources, complying with ISO 13485 
Medical Devices Quality Management, and 
delivering safe products to customers. Atomo 
aims to adhere to or exceed strict regulatory 
standards in all jurisdictions that it serves, and 
investigates all concerns to ensure our products 
maintain the highest quality.

•  Ethical purchasing and human rights in the 
supply chain: Responsibility to partners to 
ensure our product line is free from human rights 
concerns such as forced labour and trafficking, 
unsafe labour standards and unfair treatment. 
These issues can arise wherever human resources 
are utilised across the supply chain.

•  Corruption and bribery: Business must be 
conducted with transparency, and free from 
unethical persuasion. Ethical business practices 

relate to every aspect of Atomo’s business, 
from identifying product sources, through the 
development of diagnostics, transactions with 
regulatory bodies and sale to customers.

•  Compliance: Responsibility to drive compliance 
with legal and regulatory requirements applicable 
to our global business. Includes development 
of policies and controls, communication and 
training, oversight and continuous improvement. 
Consequently, compliance affects every aspect  
of what we do, to deliver quality products  
to consumers.

•  Resource use and waste management: Includes 
energy usage during manufacture and logistics, 
water usage and waste as a by-product of 
manufacture, with particular consideration 
given to the fact that the products are classified 
as medical waste upon use. Stakeholders 
increasingly demand disclosure of resource usage 
and waste management for a more sustainable 
product investment.

•  Product pricing and accessibility: Strategies and 
initiatives designed to provide more affordable 
diagnostic pricing and accessibility to products for 
patients through development, manufacture and 
marketing of high-quality generic and branded 
products, with a particular focus on accessible 
diagnostics for the global health and Lower and 
Middle Income markets.

The Board believes that the Group has adequate 
systems in place for the management of its 
exposure to environmental & social risks.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

Remuneration governance

This Remuneration Report details the remuneration 
arrangements of the key management personnel of 
the Group, in accordance with the requirements of 
the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel ('KMP') are those 
persons having authority and responsibility for 
planning, directing and controlling the activities 
of the Group, directly or indirectly, including all 
Directors of the Company.

The key management personnel of the Group 
during the financial year consisted of the  
following Directors of the Company:

• John Keith – Non-Executive Chair

•  John Kelly – Founder and Managing Director

• Curt LaBelle – Non-Executive Director

•  Paul Kasian – Non-Executive Director

•  Connie Carnabuci – Non-Executive Director

(Appointed on 18 April 2022)

•  Fabio Baglioni – Chief Commercial Officer 

(Resigned on 30 July 2021)

The information in this Remuneration Report  
is set out under the following headings:

• Remuneration governance

To assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities 
in respect of remuneration and nomination 
related matters, shortly prior to listing, the Board 
established a Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee. During the financial year, on the 
recommendation of the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee, the Board extended 
the scope of the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee’s responsibilities to include monitoring 
and making recommendations to the Board in 
relation to:

(i)  recruitment, retention and termination policies 
and practices for Executive Directors and direct 
reports to the Managing Director and the 
alignment of the policies and practices with the 
promotion and sustainment of a culture aligned 
with Atomo’s values, the promotion of long-term 
sustainable success and the achievement of the 
Company’s business objectives;

(ii)  people strategies and practices which will instil 
and reinforce the Company’s purpose and 
values, ensure health and wellbeing (physical 
and mental) and support the achievement of 
the Company’s long-term business objectives; 
and

(iii)  the development of, and progress in meeting, 

the Company’s diversity objectives.

To reflect the extended scope of the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee's responsibilities, 
the Board renamed the Committee the 'People, 
Culture & Remuneration Committee' and the 
Board resumed nomination responsibilities. The 
members of the People, Culture and Remuneration 
Committee at the date of this report are:

• Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration

• Deborah Neff (Chair)

• Details of remuneration

• Service agreements

• Share-based compensation

• Additional disclosures relating to KMP

• John Keith

• Paul Kasian

The role and responsibilities, composition, 
structure and membership requirements of the 
People, Culture and Remuneration Committee 
are documented in the People, Culture and 
Remuneration Committee Charter available on 
Atomo’s website at: https://atomodiagnostics.
com/governance/

The People, Culture and Remuneration Committee 
Charter provides that the Committee should 
comprise at least three members, all of whom are 
Non-Executive Directors and a majority of whom 
are independent Directors and the Chair of the 
Committee should be an independent Director  
who is not Chair of the Board.

All of the current members of the PCRC have been 
assessed by the Board as being independent Non-
Executive Directors and the Chair of the Committee 
is not Chair of the Board.

Principles used to determine the 
nature and amounts of remuneration

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. The appointment letters are on 
standard commercial terms.

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

Each Chair of a Board Committee receives an 
additional amount of $20,000 per annum. The 
Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee is Paul 
Kasian. Connie Carnabuci was the Chair of the 
People, Culture and Remuneration Committee  
until her resignation on 9 December 2021, at  
which date Deborah Neff assumed the position. 

During the period, a wholly owned subsidiary 
was established in the US (Atomo US, Inc) which 
required the appointment of a local US based 
Director. Deborah Neff was appointed Director of 
Atomo US, Inc effective 30 March 2022, for which 
she receives an annual fee of $20,000. 

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 
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 Non-Executive Directors 
for their services 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;

• long-term performance incentives; 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 People, Culture 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 Company's short-term incentives ('STI') plan 
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. Details of STIs paid to 
executives during the year can be found under  
the heading 'Amounts of remuneration" below.

Share-based compensation

Share plan details

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, 320,000 shares have been granted 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

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, the Company had the following options outstanding under the pre-IPO

2. Post-IPO option plan details

Shortly prior to being listed on the ASX, the Company established a new employee option plan to align the 
interests 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 post-
IPO option plan to the four (4) executive KMPs exercisable at $0.25 within thirty six (36) months from the date 
of vesting. The options 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 People, Culture and 
Remuneration Committee, as follows:

Indemnity and insurance of officers

Officers of the Company who are former partners of the Company’s auditors

The Company has indemnified the Directors and Executives of the Group for costs incurred, in their capacity 
as a Director or Executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of  
good faith.

During the financial year, the Group paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the Directors and 
Executives of the Group against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract 
of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

Indemnity and insurance of the auditor

The Group has not, during or since the end of the financial year end, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the 
auditor of the Group or any related entity against any liability incurred by the auditor.

During the financial year, the Group has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of 
the Group or any related entity.

Proceedings on behalf of the Group

No person has applied to the Court under Section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party for the 
purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.

Non-audit services

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 19 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 19 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.

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

Rounding of amounts

The Group 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.

Auditor’s independence declaration

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

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 2021. It has been determined that 
there is no impact, material or otherwise, of any 
other new or revised accounting standards  
and interpretations.

(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

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:

When required by Accounting Standards, 
comparative figures have been adjusted to  
conform to changes in presentation for the  
current financial year.

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 2.

(c) Parent entity

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 24.

(d) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate 
the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atomo 
Diagnostics Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') 
as at 30 June 2022 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.

(e) Operating segments

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.

46

47

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22 
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.

(i) Current and non-current classification

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.

(m) Property, plant and equipment

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.

48

49

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22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-ofuse asset is periodically reduced by 
impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain 
remeasurements of the lease liability.

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 test platforms and associated 
manufacturing assets and are 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 
Other intangibles  
Capitalised development costs  

10 - 20 years  
10 years  
10 years

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

(p) Impairment

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.

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").

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:
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.

50

51

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22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.

(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.

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.

(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  

52

53

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22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 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.

(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.

Revenue recognition:
When recognising revenue in relation to the sale 
of goods to customers, the key performance 
obligation is considered to be the point the 
customer obtains control of the goods as outlined 
in the arrangement.

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.

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.

Fair value measurement hierarchy:
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.

54

55

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22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.

Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in 
the measurement of both the right-of-use asset 
and lease liability. Judgement is exercised 
in determining whether there is reasonable 
certainty that an option to extend the lease or 
purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, 
or an option to terminate the lease will not be 
exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be 
included in the lease term. In determining the 
lease term, all facts and circumstances that create 
an economical incentive to exercise an extension 
option, or not to exercise a termination option, 
are considered at the lease commencement date. 
Factors considered may include the importance of 
the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; 
comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing 
market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; 
existence of significant leasehold improvements; 
and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. 
The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is 
reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, 
or not exercise a termination option, if there is a 
significant event or significant change  
in circumstances. 

Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot 
be readily determined, an incremental borrowing 
rate is estimated to discount future lease payments 
to measure the present value of the lease liability 
at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is 
based on what the consolidated entity estimates it 

would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds 
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to 
the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security 
and economic environment.

Lease make good provision
A provision has been made for the present value 
of anticipated costs for future restoration of 
leased premises. The provision includes future 
cost estimates associated with closure of the 
premises. The calculation of this provision requires 
assumptions such as application of closure dates 
and cost estimates. The provision recognised for 
each site is periodically reviewed and updated 
based on the facts and circumstances available at 
the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for 
sites are recognised in the statement of financial 
position by adjusting the asset and the provision. 
Reductions in the provision that exceed the 
carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in 
profit or loss.

Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee 
benefits expected to be settled more than  
12 months from the reporting date are recognised 
and measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash flows to be made in respect of all 
employees at the reporting date. In determining 
the present value of the liability, estimates  
of attrition.

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.

Movements in reserves:

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.

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.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net 
debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may take one of several actions which may 
include the issue of new shares, the payment of dividends, a return capital to shareholders, or sell assets to 
reduce debt. The Group is not actively pursuing or considering any of these options at the time of this report.

The Company may look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 
value adding relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not 
actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to grow its existing businesses.

The Group currently has no debt and is not subject to any finance arrangement covenants.

Note 18: Financial risk management

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

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:

Note 18: Financial risk management (continued)

Reasonably possible movements in the Australian dollar against all other currencies as at 30 June 2022 
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:

The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk

As at 30 June 2022, 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 during the year would have increased or decreased 
profit before tax by $119,561 (2021: $198,794). 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.

ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT FY22Note 18: Financial risk management (continued)

Note 19: Remuneration of auditors

Liquidity risk

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 2022 (2021: Nil).

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.

(a) Pre-IPO Options

(c) Other Options

During the prior financial year, the Company issued 4,000,000 new options to Bondi Partners as part of Bondi 
Partners' appointment to assist with the development and execution of its US go-to-market strategy and 
commercial engagements across both private and public sectors as announced to the ASX on 30 April 2021.

Tranche 1 (2,000,000 options) issued to Bondi Partners on 31 May 2021 were fully vested on 31 October 2022. 
These options are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.40 per option and expire on 30 April 2024.

Tranche 2 (2,000,000 options) are exercisable at $0.60, were fully vested on 30 April 2022 and expire on  
30 April 2024.

The Company has adopted the 'Black-Scholes' option model to determine the fair value of these options. 
The valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at the grant date, are as follows:

In estimating the expected volatility, management relied on historical volatility trends applicable to the 
Company's shares. Accordingly, the expected volatility used to assess the fair value of options may not 
necessarily be indicative of the actual volatility of Atomo's shares over the exercise period(s).

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 and retaining skilled and experienced 
eligible persons.

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

(b) Post-IPO Options

Shortly prior to being listed on the ASX, the Company established a new employee option plan to align the 
interests 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 8,400,000 options under the 
post-IPO option plan to the four (4) executive KMPs exercisable at $0.25 within thirty six (36) months from 
the date of vesting. The options 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 People, 
Culture and Remuneration Committee as follows:

KPI 1: ROI Hurdle

15% per annum calculated using the following formula:

         Change in EBITDA year on year/amount invested in operating assets during the year.

KPI 2: Revenue Hurdle

Tranche 1/FY21 – Revenue growth of 60% 
Tranche 2/FY22 – Revenue growth of 40% 
Tranche 3/FY23 – Revenue growth of 25%

In addition, KPIs with respect to an additional 1,733,335 options with an expiry date of 14 April 2025 were 
not satisfied and have subsequently lapsed. Accordingly, as at the date of this report, the Company had on 
issue 2,813,331 options to KMPs under the post-IPO option plan.

In addition, subsequent to 30 June 2022, the Board has exercised its discretion to allocate the following new 
options to management as part of the Company's remuneration scheme to reward the diligent execution of 
the corporate strategy and to ensure retention of the key talent needed to deliver strategic outcome in the 
interest of shareholders:

John Kelly 

666,666 options 

William Souter 

533,333 options 

Total 

1,199,999 options

These options are exercisable at $0.25 per option and expire on 14 April 2025. In addition, these options  
are conditional upon the executive remaining employed by the Company and in the case of John Kelly,  
on Shareholder approval of the allocation.

1 2  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

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 2022, 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 2022 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.

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. 

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

Revenue recognition

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 3, the Group recognised 
revenue of $12,336,111 for the year ended 30 June 
2022. Revenue was identified as a key audit matter 
as it is a key performance indicator to the users of 
the financial report.

Our procedures, amongst others, include:

-  Reviewed 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 revenue is 

correctly recorded in the period to which it relates;

-  Performed controls testing around the process in place for 

revenue transactions;

-  Performed analytical procedures on material revenue 
streams and compared them against expectations; and

-  Selected a sample of revenue transactions during the 

year and substantively test to ensure revenue has been 
appropriately reflected in the financial statements for the 
year ended 30 June 2022.

Carrying Value of Intangible Assets

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As at 30 June 2022, the Group recognised intangible 
assets with a carrying value of $3,574,690 as 
disclosed in Note 11.

The valuation of intangible assets is significant to 
our audit because of the significant value in the 
Statement of Financial Position and the significant 
judgement required by management in assessing 
recoverability.

The Group has determined the recoverable amount 
through a value-in-use calculation for the cash 
generating unit. This process is judgmental and 
based on management’s assumptions, specifically 
those in relation to growth rates, estimated 
expenditure and discount rates, which are affected 
by current and future markets.

Our procedures, amongst others, include:

-  Obtained management’s value-in-use model and  

assessment of impairment;

-  Critically assessed the valuation and impairment analysis 
completed by management, including the reasonableness 
of the assumptions and estimates used to determine the 
recoverable amount of its intangible assets;

-  Together with BDO valuation specialists, assessed 

the reasonableness of the discount rates applied by 
management;

-  Where appropriate, considered the accuracy of the Group’s 

historical cash flow forecasts; and

-  Evaluated the sensitivity analysis applied to the discounted 

cash flow model to assess whether changes in the key 
assumptions would impact the recoverable amount of the 
intangible assets.

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 2022, 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, 
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this 
financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing  
and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx)  
at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Atomo Diagnostics Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2022, 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian  
Auditing Standards.
