CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS
Consolidation has been a strong theme
for Bionomics during an eventful
2016 as we sought to strengthen your
Company’s balance sheet, further
globalise the share register and
advance our drug pipeline.
While the US capital raise completed in
December 2015 was criticized by some
shareholders, it allowed Bionomics to
continue to make major advances in
its clinical development programs and
to focus on its important partnerships
with Merck & Co (known as MSD
outside the US and Canada). BNC210, for the treatment of
anxiety-related disorders, delivered positive clinical trial
results in September 2015 with successful completion
of a multiple ascending dose study and demonstration of
mechanism of action. More recently we reported extremely
encouraging, positive Phase 2 data from our trial in patients
with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). In a patient
population which is poorly served by current medications,
we are excited that BNC210 may make a positive contribution
to treatment options in the future. BNC210 has now advanced
into a Phase 2 clinical trials in patients with Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD).
We also progressed our cancer stem cell targeting drug
candidate BNC101 into the clinic following a successful
Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the US Food
& Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2015. A Phase 1 trial
in patients with metastatic colon cancer is underway and
reflects further progress in an important asset from our
2012 acquisition of Biogen spin-out, Eclipse Therapeutics.
The ongoing clinical trials are indicative of our mission to
develop best-in-class treatments for central nervous system
disorders and for cancer. Compelling data with any of our
clinical programs are major value inflection points giving
confidence for both continued development and strategic
partnering of our innovative drug candidates.
Bionomics’ business model is to secure strategic
partnerships for our drug candidates. Your Company has
continued to focus on its two major partnerships with MSD
in pain and cognition and was delighted to welcome MSD as
a shareholder of Bionomics in 2015, a strong endorsement
of our technology.
In addition to revenue under its agreement with MSD and
contract revenue from our subsidiaries Neurofit and
Prestwick Chemical, Bionomics received A$8.5 million
under the Federal Government’s R&D Tax Incentive.
A surprise for many was a more recent payment to
Bionomics of US$736,815 as its share of a US$15 million
upfront payment from a licensing deal between MSD and
the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Cancer
Therapeutics, of which Bionomics is an industry partner.
Bionomics may further benefit from future milestone and
royalty payments for this program.
In 2016 the Board undertook a major renewal program.
Following a productive Shareholder Consultation Process
we are delighted to welcome David Wilson, Alan Fisher and
Peter Turner to the Board. The new Directors bring strong
global investment, finance and drug development skills,
which were recognised as necessary in the Company’s Board
structure and governance review.
These appointments came after extensive consultation with
shareholders and I thank the Shareholder Working Group
representing a cross-section of our major institutional
shareholders, for their active participation in the Board
appointment process. With these appointments Mr Graeme
Kaufman and Mr Trevor Tappenden announced their intention
to retire from the Board. We very much value the significant
contributions Graeme and Trevor made to Bionomics over
a considerable period of time and thank them for their
outstanding leadership as Chairman and Chair of the Audit
and Risk Committee respectively. This year has also seen
the departure of Dr Alan W Dunton from the Board, who we
also thank for the considerable contributions he made to the
Company during his short tenure on the Board.
The renewed Bionomics Board now comprises of well-
qualified members operating under a strong governance
structure and with the requisite skills and knowledge to
drive the development and partnering of Bionomics’ pipeline.
In conclusion, Bionomics ends the year with a strong cash
balance enabling the Company to build shareholder value
through maximisation of its pipeline development. The
Board thanks all shareholders for their continued support
and constructive feedback over the past year and we look
forward to sharing with you news on clinical and partnership
progress in the coming year.
Yours faithfully

CEO AND MANAGING
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
it was safe and well tolerated with no adverse effects on
cognition, emotional stability or potential for addiction.
Importantly the trial results indicated that BNC210
modulated the activity of its target, the α7 nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor, reducing the effects of nicotine on
the brain as measured by EEG.
This result is consistent with the mechanism of action of
BNC210. The data strongly support the continued development
of BNC210.
BNC210 ENGAGES ITS TARGET IN THE BRAIN
INHIBITING THE EFFECT OF NICOTINE
Nicotine induces a response in the alpha 2 band of the EEG profile
through activation of nicotine receptors in the brain. BNC210 is a
negative allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
With these positive results we continued the Phase 2 clinical
trial of BNC210 in patients with GAD. GAD is a chronic
form of anxiety requiring long term treatment with anti-
depressants.
On 24 June 2016 we announced the on-time completion of
enrolment in the Phase 2 GAD trial and were very pleased
to recently report positive data. This clinical trial was a
double-blinded study comparing the effects of BNC210 with
placebo and with a benzodiazepine, Lorazepam. Patients
in this trial suffer from untreated GAD. The capacity of
BNC210 to engage brain systems relevant to anxiety was
evaluated. Endpoints include both significant changes in
cerebral perfusion measured by arterial spin labelling and in
emotional task-related brain activity measured by functional
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS
Finding better treatments for cancer and disorders of the
central nervous system are two of the greatest and most
enduring pursuits of modern medicine.
It is a pursuit Bionomics is intimately engaged in as a global
biopharmaceutical company with a mission to discover and
develop innovative treatments in both areas.
The way we do that is to use tools such as our proprietary
chemistry platform MultiCore in combination with our ionX
and CSC platforms so that we can fast track the discovery of
novel drug candidates that can significantly improve the lives
of patients.
Our drug candidates address unmet needs in areas where
there are large market opportunities with “blockbuster’’
sales potential.
The high performance of our drug discovery has been
recognised in our strategic partnerships with Merck & Co
(known as MSD outside the US and Canada) for the discovery
of new treatments for chronic and neuropathic pain and
for cognitive impairment in conditions such as Alzheimer’s
disease, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease and Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADHD or ADD).
BNC210: A NOVEL NEGATIVE ALLOSTERIC MODULATOR OF
THE α7 NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR
The 2015/16 financial year witnessed strong progress with
BNC210, Bionomics’ first-in-class drug candidate that is
in clinical development for the treatment of Generalized
Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD). BNC210 has strong potential in meeting an unmet
medical need for fast-acting anxiolytic agents without
the side-effects of existing treatments such as sedation,
addiction, and impaired memory and co-ordination.
The BNC210 program in FY16 was focussed on continuing
clinical development across three clinical trials:
= Completion and reporting of the multiple ascending dose
and target engagement clinical trial
= Completion of the Phase 2 GAD clinical trial
= Initiation of the Phase 2 PTSD clinical trial.
Results of the Phase 1b multiple ascending dose clinical
trial assessing the safety of multiple doses of BNC210, with
secondary trial endpoints examining impact on cognitive
functions and the ability of BNC210 to engage with its target
in the brain, were reported in September 2015.
Data from this study were very positive with all primary
and secondary endpoints met. BNC210 again demonstrated

= Major types of depression:
- Bipolar depression
- Dysthymia
- Major Depression
= Both primary endpoints were met with a high level of
significance, suggesting that BNC210 has potential to bring
about a paradigm change for treatment of anxiety disorders.
= BNC210 suppressed activation of the amygdala,
out-performing standard of care, lorazepam and caused
significant changes in cerebral perfusion consistent with
anti-anxiety activity.
= BNC210 also suppressed anxiety-related defensive
behaviour, again outperforming Lorazepam and providing
additional evidence of ant-anxiety activity in this patient
population.
We also examined other potential applications to further
leverage the key features of BNC210 that differentiate it
from current medications to treat anxiety and depression.
Following extensive consultation with global key opinion
leaders and reviews of the extensive datasets from pre-
clinical studies and Phase I clinical trials, PTSD was
identified as a major opportunity for BNC210.
PTSD is very common and its societal and economic
burden is heavy. It is estimated that approximately 8 million
Americans or 3.5% of the US population suffer PTSD in
any year, and that 12% of Australians will experience PTSD
during their lifetimes.
On 30 June 2016 Bionomics announced the initiation of a
Phase 2 clinical trial (the RESTORE trial) in adults suffering
PTSD. The clinical trial is randomized, double-blinded and
placebo controlled. It will enrol 160 patients, male and female.
There is a need for further and improved pharmacotherapy
options for people with PTSD. Currently, only two drugs,
the antidepressants paroxetine (for example, Paxil) and
sertraline (for example, Xoloft), are approved for the
treatment of PTSD. However, they have not been shown to
ameliorate the full range of PTSD symptoms, and complete
remission of symptoms is rare.
An extensive advertising campaign is to commence to
highlight the RESTORE trial and to attract patients suffering
from PTSD to participate in the trial. Examples of the
RESTORE trial advertising “It begins with a story……”
are shown on opposite page.
We are cautiously optimistic as BNC210 clinical trial data
reported to date suggest the compound possesses a profile
that meets the needs of patients and substantial commercial
potential across a range of anxiety and stress and trauma.
BNC101 may represent a major
advance in the treatment of solid
tumours – improving responses
to cancer treatment and increasing
the durability of responses.

BNC101: CANCER STEM CELL INHIBITOR FOR THE
TREATMENT OF METASTATIC COLON CANCER AND OTHER
SOLID TUMOUR TYPES
Bionomics’ first-in-class compound BNC101 reached key
milestones over the year:
= IND acceptance
= Initiation of the first clinical trial.
BNC101 aims to prevent or delay tumour recurrence by
targeting LRG5, a cancer stem cell (CSC) marker that is
over-expressed in metastatic colorectal cancers and other
solid tumour types. Inhibition of LGR5 by BNC101 results in
the inhibition of a CSC survival pathway, known as the Wnt
pathway.
CSC’s are resistant to chemotherapy, they suppress the
tumour immune system and modulate the tumour micro-
environment, requiring CSC targeted approaches.
The open label clinical trial aims to demonstrate BNC101
is safe and well tolerated and that it is able to modulate
the activity of its target LGR5 in colon cancer patients. It
is intended that the trial will then move to the next stage
evaluating the combination of BNC101 and chemotherapy in
this patient group.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most prevalent cancer
type, yet overall survival lags behind other high incidence
cancers. In metastatic CRC, five year survival is just 12%.
The predicted global market for metastatic colorectal cancer
treatments is estimated to reach US$9.4 billion by 2020. We
believe that BNC101 also has potential to treat pancreatic,
breast and lung cancers.
The BNC101 Phase 1 clinical trial followed acceptance of an
Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the US Food
& Drug Administration (FDA) in August 2015.
BNC101 may represent a major advance in the treatment of
solid tumours – improving responses to cancer treatment
and increasing the durability of responses.
This co-hosted Annual Symposium has gone from strength

PARTNERSHIPS WITH MSD: IONX AND MULTICORE
COMBINE TO DISCOVER NEW TREATMENTS FOR PAIN
AND MEMORY LOSS
Bionomics and MSD continue to diligently advance two
separate programs in cognition and pain with future
combined potential milestone and other payments to
Bionomics of up to $US658 million in addition to royalties on
net sales.
In October 2015 MSD invested US$9 million in Bionomics.
This investment was accompanied by the announcement
of an extension to the Bionomics-MSD partnership for the
discovery and development of novel chronic and neuropathic
pain medications.
This partnership, first signed in July 2013, is aimed at
tapping into the large pain market. For example, growth in
the neuropathic pain market is expected to reach US$3.6
billion pa by 2020 in an overall pain market estimated at
US$22 billion pa, with current medications on market only
providing limited effectiveness. As part of the commercial
terms of the option and license agreement that covers
the pain program, Bionomics may receive up to US$172
million in option exercise fees, development and regulatory
milestone payments as well as future potential royalty
payments.
Our platforms ionX and MultiCore have been further
validated through the Bionomics and MSD partnership
in cognition where we are working together to find new
treatments for memory loss. The endeavour is to discover
and develop small molecule drugs for the treatment of
cognitive impairment in ADHD, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
diseases, schizophrenia and other conditions. Along with full
R&D funding from Merck this partnership included an up-
front payment of US$20 million with future milestones and
other payments of up to US$486 million as well as additional
potential royalties on net sales of licensed products. We are
extremely excited about this important program and the
progress made during the year.
The annual Bionomics & MSD Symposium is in its fourth
year in 2016. MSD’s VP Neuroscience and Ophthalmology
Clinical Research Dr David Michelson will present as this
year’s Keynote Speaker. The event will take place on
7 November 2016 in Adelaide and entitled “At the Frontiers
of Neuroscience: Memory, Movement & Mood”. Registration
for the event is free and further details can be found on

BNC105: INFLUENCING THE TUMOUR MICRO-
ENVIRONMENT TO PROMOTE TUMOUR IMMUNITY
BNC105, our novel vascular disrupting agent, has now
demonstrated multiple modes of action. During the reporting
period we released new pre-clinical and clinical data on the
effects of BNC105 on tumour immunity at a number of US
conferences including at the annual American Association
for Cancer Research (AACR) conference in New Orleans in
April 2016.
These poster presentations highlighted the strong,
synergistic anti-tumour activity when BNC105 and
checkpoint inhibitors were combined. This synergistic
activity is thought to be the result of specific cytokine, T cell
and macrophages within tumours. By extending the reach of
checkpoint inhibitors to allow for increased immune activity
against tumour cells, we believe that BNC105 represents a
very good opportunity to provide greater therapeutic support
to a wide range of patients.
Bionomics continues to work towards partnership
opportunities for BNC105 and it is believed that the ability
of BNC105 to prime tumours for a more robust immune
response and synergy with drugs such as Opdivo (BMS),
Keytruda (MSD) and Yervoy (BMS) opens an exciting avenue
for development.

development of novel drug candidates focused on the treatment
of central nervous system disorders and cancer by leveraging
our proprietary platform technologies.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Bionomics is a global, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company,
leveraging our proprietary platform technologies to discover and
develop a deep pipeline of best-in-class, novel drug candidates
focused on the treatment of serious Central Nervous System, or
CNS, disorders and cancer. Our ionX and MultiCore drug discovery
platforms are validated through two partnerships with Merck &
Co., or MSD, in cognition and pain with combined development,
regulatory and sales based milestone payments of potentially up
to US$678 million in addition to royalties on net sales. In 2013,
MSD entered into an option to exclusively license the development
and commercialisation of certain small molecule drug candidates
for the treatment of chronic and neuropathic pain. Under this
agreement, we may receive up to US$172 million in exercise fees
and milestone payments in addition to royalties on net sales. This
agreement was extended in October 2015. In 2014, we entered into
another collaboration agreement with MSD to develop compounds
targeting cognitive impairment in conditions such as ADHD,
Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia.
Under this agreement, we received US$20 million in upfront
payments and are eligible for up to US$486 million in additional
research, development and commercialisation milestone
payments in addition to royalties on net sales.
In October 2015 the relationship between Bionomics and MSD
was further strengthened when MSD became a shareholder in
Bionomics following a US$9 million equity investment.
In November 2015 MSD and Bionomics hosted a joint Symposium
in Adelaide, Australia. The meeting included renowned speakers
from the field of cognition research and Alzheimer’s disease.
Planning is already advanced for the 4th Annual Symposium
which will focus on Frontiers in Neuroscience: Memory, Mood
and Movement, with US-based MSD scientists and management
anticipated to attend.
During the period Bionomics continued the development of
BNC210 reporting positive clinical trial results in September
2015 which supported the mechanism of action of BNC210 and
continued to indicate that BNC210 was safe and well tolerated.
BNC210 is a novel, proprietary negative allosteric modulator of
the alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, or the α7 receptor. In
six completed Phase 1 clinical trials, BNC210 has demonstrated
safety and tolerability in over 190 healthy subjects and shown
initial indications of efficacy in the absence of side effects such as
sedation, memory loss, impairment of motor co-ordination and
potential for addiction. The α7 receptor is highly expressed in the
amygdala which forms part of the emotional centre of the brain
and it can be considered a key driver of emotional responses.
Bionomics has announced the completion of dosing in a Phase
2 trial in patients with generalized anxiety disorder which, is
evaluating the capacity of BNC210 to engage brain systems
relevant to anxiety using functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI). The endpoints of the trial include both significant changes
19
DIRECTOR’S
REPORT
in cerebral perfusion and in task-related brain activity using
the emotional faces task. The clinical trial is being conducted at
The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s
College in London and data is anticipated by 30 September 2016.
Bionomics has also commenced a multi-centre, placebo
controlled, double-blinded Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The clinical trial is being
conducted in Australia and New Zealand.
Anxiety is a condition which places a considerable burden on
our society. Approximately 40 million people suffer from anxiety
disorders in the United States and patients with anxiety can have
one or more anxiety disorders. There are six broad categories
of anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, panic
disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder
and phobias. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterised by
persistent, excessive and unrealistic worrying about everyday
things. Approximately 6.8 million people suffer from generalized
anxiety disorder in the United States. The world-wide anxiety
market is projected to reach US$18.2 billion by 2020. There are
a number of drugs used to treat anxiety with the mainstay being
benzodiazepines. Generalized anxiety disorder is commonly
treated with SSRIs and SNRIs which are antidepressants that
enhance either serotonin or norepinephrine. The key limitations
with SSRIs and SNRIs are a modest efficacy and late onset of
action, discontinuation or withdrawal syndrome, changes in weight,
sexual dysfunction and suicide ideation in adolescents, while
benzodiazepines such as Valium display side-effects including
sedation, addiction, tolerance and cognitive disturbances, and
are therefore not recommended for long-term treatment despite
short-term efficacy. Anxiety and depression are mood disorders
with overlapping symptoms. Over 40% of patients diagnosed with
depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.
In addition to the successes of its neuroscience programs,
Bionomics continues to develop its cancer drug pipeline including
compounds focused on cancer stem cells.
During the year Bionomics progressed its lead cancer stem cell
drug candidate BNC101 through initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial
in patients with metastatic colon cancer. This followed a successful
IND submission to the US FDA in July 2015.
In FY16 new BNC105 data were presented at major international
cancer conferences including the American Association for Cancer
Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in April 2016 demonstrating that
BNC105 synergised with immune-oncology agents in re-activating
the immune’s response to tumours.
In June 2016 Bionomics received its share (US$736,815) of the
upfront payment under a licensing agreement for the PRMT5
project with MSD under its collaborative arrangements with the
Co-operative Research Centre for Cancer Therapeutics.
OUTLOOK
Bionomics is in a strong position to progress its development
programs and the Company continues to focus on its important
relationship with Merck in pain and cognition to bring new
treatments to patients suffering chronic pain and sufferers of
memory impairment including those with ADHD, Alzheimer’s
disease, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia.
We are advancing the development of BNC210 to treat anxiety
and PTSD. We have an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of BNC210
in patients with PTSD and anticipate reporting data from a Phase
2 clinical trial of BNC210 in patients with generalized anxiety
disorder by 30 September 2016.
We also intend to advance the development of BNC101 to treat solid
tumors by targeting cancer stem cells. First data from the ongoing
BNC101 clinical trial in patients with colon cancer is anticipated in
2017.
Bionomics will seek further opportunities to execute its
partnership strategy through new licensing agreements for assets
across its portfolio of drug candidates.
DIVIDENDS
The Directors do not propose to make any recommendation for
dividends for the current financial year. There were no dividends
declared in respect of the previous financial year.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the
Group during the financial year.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the
financial year which significantly affect or may significantly affect
the results of the operations of the Group.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Group will continue to undertake drug discovery and will
seek to commercialise the outcomes of its research and
development in the form of drug candidates for the treatment of
CNS disorders and cancer.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Group is subject to environmental regulations and other
licenses in respect of its facilities in Australia, USA and France.
The Group is subject to regular inspections and audits by
responsible State and Federal authorities. The Group was in
compliance with all the necessary environmental regulations
throughout the year ended 30 June 2016 and no related issues have
arisen since the end of the financial year to the date of this report.

2.Remuneration Policy
Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy
Non-Executive Directors’ fees are reviewed regularly, taking into
account comparable remuneration data from the biotechnology
sector, with the most recent increase having taken effect in 2012.
Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate
directors’ fee pool limit that is approved by shareholders. The
current aggregate Non-Executive Directors’ fee pool limit is
$500,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders on 14
November 2012. This amount (or some part of it) is to be divided
among the Non-Executive Directors as determined by the Board
and reflecting the time and responsibility related to the Board
and committees. The Group does not provide for retirement
allowances to its Non-Executive Directors.
The Chairman and Non-Executive Directors’ base board fees are
$120,000 per annum and $65,000 per annum respectively, inclusive
of any statutory Australian superannuation contributions. The
Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, Mr Trevor
Tappenden, received an additional $15,000 per annum inclusive
of superannuation for services relating to his Audit and Risk
Management Committee duties. Dr Errol De Souza received an
additional $15,000 per annum for being the Chair of the Scientific
Advisory Board during the year and $3,544 as a pro rata payment
of $15,000 per annum for being Chairman of both the Nomination
and Independent Board Committees. The total fees paid to Non-
Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2016 was $362,567
compared to the aggregate directors’ fee pool limit of $500,000.
Non-Executive Directors may receive share options on their initial
appointment to the Board or at other such times, as approved by
shareholders.
Any value that may be attributed to options issued to Non-Executive
Directors is not included in the shareholder approved aggregate
limit of directors’ fees. There were 500,000 share options granted
to Non-Executive Director Dr Alan W Dunton during the year. In
accordance with the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan
(ESOP), Non-Executive Directors retire and remain an eligible
participant of the ESOP. Dr Dunton’s options continue to vest in
accordance with the issuance as approved at the 2015 Annual
General Meeting.
Executive Remuneration Policy and Framework
The objective of the Group’s executive remuneration policy and
framework is to ensure that the Group can attract and retain high
calibre executives capable of managing the Group’s operations
and achieving the Group’s strategic objectives, and focus these
executives on outcomes necessary for success.
25
The executives total remuneration package framework comprises:
further KPI achievement resulting in improved shareholder value.
= Base pay and benefits, including superannuation and other
entitlements;
= Performance incentives paid as share options or cash; and
= Equity awards through participation in the Bionomics
employee equity plans.
The combination of these comprises the executive KMP’s total
remuneration.
The Board reviews and approves the base pay, benefits, incentive
payments and equity awards of the Chief Executive Officer and
Managing Director and other executives reporting directly to the
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.
In exceptional circumstances, the Board will consider cash
payment instead of or in addition to an option award if the
executive:
= Already has significant shareholdings; and / or
= Resides in a country where an option award is inappropriate due
to local regulation or taxes; and / or
= Is likely to be in a position whereby the executive may be unable
to exercise options because of insider knowledge and / or an
extended blackout period; and / or
= The KPI achievement is, in the judgement of the Board, of such
significance to materially position the Company for further
shareholder value enhancement.
Base Pay and Benefits
Executives receive their base pay and benefits structured as a
Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) package which may be delivered
as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at
the executives’ discretion. Superannuation (or local equivalent) is
included in TFR. There are no guaranteed base pay increases in
any executive contract.
Performance incentives as practised by Bionomics are best
characterised as a hybrid short-term and long-term incentive. That
is, it has a look back element on what was achieved in the financial
year, and a look forward element requiring enhanced shareholder
value beyond market expectations at the time of the award. The
Board considers this to be the right approach for a company of
Bionomics’ size and nature and at this stage in its life cycle.
Base pay and benefit levels are reviewed annually and an
assessment made against market comparable positions. Factors
taken into account in determining remuneration include levels of
remuneration in other biotechnology companies, a demonstrated
record of performance, internal relativities and the Company’s
capacity to pay. An executive’s base pay and benefit levels may also
be reviewed if the position’s accountabilities increase in scope and
impact.
During the year there were increases provided to the Chief
Executive Officer and Managing Director, and Chief Financial
Officer of 2% and 8% respectively.
Performance Incentives
Executive positions have no pre-determined bonus or equity
opportunity, however performance incentives in the form of cash
or share options may be awarded at the end of the performance
review cycle upon achievement of specific Board approved (i)
individual, and (ii) company-related key performance indicators (KPIs)
with a weighting of 50% each.
Following a performance evaluation against these KPIs, the amount
of possible incentive payable to each executive is determined by the
Board based on the CEO’s recommendation, and to the CEO by the
Board based on the Board’s assessment of her performance.
The Board determines whether the incentive award should be in
share options or cash. The default award is in share options, as this
is in accord with the Company’s philosophy that a continuum of KPI
achievement pre and post any award is required to progressively
improve shareholder value, and that options are an appropriate
payment vehicle because a reward is only realised if there is
The Board continues to review the performance assessment and
incentive structure to ensure it remains effective.
Equity Awards
Equity awards for executives and employees are provided by a
combination of equity plans that may include:
= An Employee Share Plan;
= An Employee Share Plan ($1,000 Plan); and
= An Employee Share Option Plan.
Participation in these plans is at the Board’s discretion and no
individual has an ongoing contractual right to participate in a plan
or to receive any guaranteed benefits. For key appointments, an
initial allocation of equity may be offered as a component of their
initial employment agreement. The structure of equity awards is
under the active review of the remuneration committee to ensure
it meets good corporate practice for a company of Bionomics’ size,
nature and company life cycle.
Employee Share Plan
The Bionomics Employee Share Plan (ESP) was approved by
shareholders at the November 2014 Annual General Meeting.
It may involve the Company providing an interest-free limited
recourse loan to eligible employees to purchase shares under
this ESP. The Company takes security over the shares to secure
repayment of the loan. The purpose of this ESP is to provide
eligible employees with an incentive to remain with the Company
and to improve the longer-term performance of the Company and
its returns to shareholders. The issue price will be determined
by the Board at its sole discretion, with the intention to base it on
market value at the time.
DIRECTOR’S REPORT26
Employee Share Plan ($1,000 Plan)
All executives and staff, excluding directors, are eligible to
participate in the Bionomics Employee Share Plan ($1,000 Plan).
The objective of the $1,000 Plan is to assist in the attraction
and retention of employees of the Company, and to provide
encouragement to become shareholders. An annual allocation
of up to $1,000 of shares may be granted and taxed on a
concessional basis. Shares are granted under the $1,000 Plan for
no consideration and are escrowed for 3 years while participants
are employed by the Company. None were issued during the year
ended 30 June 2016 or since that date.
Employee Share Option Plan
Options may be granted under the Bionomics Limited Employee
Share Option Plan (ESOP) which was re-approved by shareholders
at the 2014 Annual General Meeting. All executives and staff are
eligible to participate in the Plan. The objective of the Plan is to
assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of
employees of the Company. Options are granted under the Plan for
no consideration. More particularly, the Plan is utilised to award
options to executives if they achieve specified KPIs. It may also be
used for shareholder approved Non-Executive Director grants at
the time of their appointment. The exercise price of options granted
under the Plan must be not less than the market price at the time
the decision is made to invite a participant to apply for options. The
exercise price is calculated as the volume-weighted average price
(VWAP) of the shares in the 7 days preceding the approval to grant
the options.
3. Relationship Between the Remuneration Policy and Company
Performance
The Company’s remuneration policy aligns executive reward
with the interests of shareholders. The primary focus is on
growth in shareholder value through the achievement of
research, development, regulatory and commercial milestones.
The performance goals are not necessarily linked to financial
performance measures typical of companies operating in other
market segments.
Share options and/or cash bonuses are granted to executive
KMP’s based on their level of KPI achievement. Achievement of
KPIs should result in increases in shareholder value. However,
the Company provides share options rather than a cash award for
KPI achievement (unless there are exceptional circumstances).
This is because share options only have realisable value if there
is an increase in shareholder value. That is, further improvement
beyond the KPI achievement on which the award is based is
required for the executives to realise value.
The incentive framework, therefore, combines a “look back”
element to reward the achievement of KPIs necessary to enhance
value, with a “look forward” element requiring improvement
beyond this level of achievement for the executive to actually
realise value. This is typical of a biotechnology company at
Bionomics’ stage of its life cycle.
Bionomics’ approach to its remuneration framework ensures:
= Executives focus on meaningful KPIs;
= The best performers receive higher reward;
= Cash is conserved through the use of options;
= There is relatively less dilution from option grants because they
are selectively granted rather than universally granted;
= Executives must continue to perform to realise value; and
= Executive reward is aligned with shareholder interests.
KPIs may include (but are not limited to) successful negotiations of
commercial contracts, achieving key research, development and
regulatory milestones and ensuring the availability of adequate
capital to achieve stated objectives.
There is no direct link between the determination of fixed pay and
the Company’s financial performance (specifically, revenue and net
(loss)/profit included in the table following) or share price.
The calculation of the annual incentive award for executive KMP is
by reference to the achievement of specific milestones and targets
approved by the Board. Milestones and targets generally relate to:
= Efficiently conducting the Company’s development programs;
= Executing Bionomics’ partnership strategy, both new and
existing;
= Demonstrating the power of Bionomics’ discovery capabilities; and
= Maintaining adequate capital reserves.
These KPIs have been established to support the Company
achieving its overall objectives. Executive KMP have 50% of their
performance incentives tied to the achievement of corporate
goals and the remaining 50% is tied to the achievement of
individual goals.
Important milestones directly related to Board approved FY16
KPIs achieved by Bionomics’ executives included:
= Continued development of BNC210:
= Successful completion of Phase 1 multiple ascending dose
clinical trial showing evidence of target engagement in
September 2015;
= Completion of enrolment in Phase 2 Generalized Anxiety
Disorder clinical trial in June 2016; and
= Achieved funding for a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This trial was initiated on 30
June 2016.
= Progressed development of lead cancer stem cell drug
candidate BNC101:
= Successful IND acceptance in August 2015; and
= Initiation of Phase I clinical trial in April 2016.
27
= Extension of Pain partnership with MSD and ongoing successful collaboration with MSD in the cognition program.
= Secured investment from MSD.
= Expanded Bionomics’ access to US investors and analysts.
As at the date of this Remuneration Report, the incentive remuneration applicable to the levels of achievement on these KPIs for
Bionomics’ executives for the year ended 30 June 2016 has not been finalised and approved. Full disclosure will be provided in next year’s
Remuneration Report.

Share-based Payments
Share-based payment benefits are provided to employees via the
Bionomics ESOP and the Bionomics ESP.
The market value of shares issued to employees for no cash
consideration under the ESP is recognised as an employee
benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when the
employees become unconditionally entitled to the shares.
The Bionomics ESOP and ESP were approved by the Board and
Shareholders in 2014. Employees eligible to participate in the plan
are those who have been a full-time or part-time employee of the
Group for a period of not less than six months or a Director of the
Company.
Options are granted under the plan for no consideration and vest
equally over five years, (other than options for incentive awards –
see below), provided a person remains employed subject to good
leaver provisions (death, retrenchment or retirement).
The amounts disclosed as remuneration relating to options are
the assessed fair values at grant date of those options allocated
equally over the period from grant date to vesting date. Fair values
at grant date are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the
option, the vesting criteria, the impact of dilution, the share price
at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the
expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term
of the option.
Incentive options are issued at the discretion of the Board and vest
immediately. There are no subsequent performance conditions
attached to the options. The incentive payable to each executive
is determined by the Board based on the CEO’s recommendation.
The incentive calculation is based 50% on the Company
meeting corporate objectives and 50% on the achievement
of individual annual KPIs. The Company’s assessment of
milestone performance achievements are outlined in 3 above.
The executives’ KPIs are established with reference to their
contribution to achieving the Company’s overall objectives.

OTHER INFORMATION
Shares Under Option
Information relating to shares under option is set out in section 4 of
the Remuneration Report. The total number of shares under option
at 30 June 2016 was 9,698,860. This is 2.0% of common shares
outstanding.
Shares Issued on the Exercise of Options
921,250 ordinary shares of Bionomics were issued during the year
ended 30 June 2016 on the exercise of options granted under the
Bionomics ESOP.
Warrants
During the year the Company issued warrants in connection with
the USD loan which are currently exercisable at the discretion of
the holder and exchangeable for either 988,843 (2015: 643,611)
ordinary shares at a fixed price (345,232 at $0.5288 and 643,611 at
$0.54) or a lower number of shares for nil consideration, with the
number of shares calculated on the basis of a formula which takes
into account the movement in the share price of the Company from
the date of issue to date of exercise of the warrant.
In addition, the Company issued warrants in connection with
a private placement as set out in Note 22 which are currently
exercisable at the discretion of the holder and exchangeable for
24,124,484 ordinary shares at a fixed price ($0.5938).
Insurance of Officers
During the financial year, the Company paid a premium to insure
the Directors and Officers (D&O) of the Company. Under the terms
of this policy the premium paid by the Company is not permitted to
be disclosed.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in
defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against
the D&O in their capacity as D&O of the Company, and any other
payments arising from liabilities incurred by the D&O in connection
with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise
out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the D&O or the
improper use by the D&O of their position or of information to gain
advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment
to the Company.
It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts
relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating
to other liabilities.
The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the
financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified
or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of
any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an
officer or auditor.
Non-Audit Services
The Company may decide to employ the external auditor on
assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the
external auditor’s expertise and experience with the Group are
important.
Details of the amounts paid to the external auditor for audit and
non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 28
of Notes to the Financial Statements.
The Board has considered the position and, in accordance with the
advice received from the Audit and Risk Management Committee,
is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is
compatible with the general standard of independence for external
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
External Auditor
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu continues in office in accordance with
section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.
A copy of the auditors’ independence declaration as required under
section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 34.
This Directors’ Report is signed in accordance with a resolution
of Directors made pursuant to Section 298(2) of the Corporations
Act 2001.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements
and notes of the Group.
Statement of Compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial
statements which have been prepared in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations,
and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial
statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the
consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit
entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards
(AASB). Compliance with AASB ensures that the financial
statements and notes of the company and the Group comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the
Directors on 9 August 2016.
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
basis of historical cost, except for certain non-current assets and
financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or
fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the
accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on
the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise
noted.
Fair value is 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, regardless of whether that
price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation
technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability,
the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or
liability if market participants would take those characteristics
into account when pricing the asset or liability at measurement
date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in
these consolidated financial statements is determined on such
a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are
within the scope of AASB 2 (IFRS 2), leasing transactions that are
within the scope of AASB 117 (IAS 17), and measurements that have
some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net
realisable value in AASB 2 (IFRS 2) or value in use in AASB 136 (IAS
36).
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value
measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on
the degree to which inputs to the fair value measurements are
observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
= Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at
measurement date;
= Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included
within Level 1, that are observable for that asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly; and
= Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and
revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to
its operations and effective for the current annual reporting
period. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and
Interpretations has resulted in no significant changes to the
consolidated entity’s accounting policies.
Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
At the date of authorisation of the financial report, a number of
Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective.

Impact of new and revised requirements
Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the following standards:
AASB 9 (IFRS 9) ‘Financial Instruments’ (December 2009), and the relevant amending standards
AASB 9 (IFRS 9) introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets, as follows:
= Debt instruments meeting both a ‘business model’ test and a ‘cash flow characteristics’ test are measured at amortised cost
(the use of fair value is optional in some limited circumstances).
= Investments in equity instruments can be designated as ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ with only dividends being
recognised in profit or loss.
= All other instruments (including all derivatives) are measured at fair value with changes recognised in the profit or loss.
= The concept of ‘embedded derivatives’ does not apply to financial assets within the scope of the Standard and the entire instrument
must be classified and measured in accordance with the above guidelines.
Through AASB 2013-9, (IFRS 9) a new hedge accounting model has been put in place that is designed to be more closely aligned with how
entities undertake risk management activities when hedging financial and non-financial risk exposures.
43
NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AASB 9 (IFRS 9) applies to annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2018. The directors of the Company anticipate that the
application of AASB 9 (IFRS 9) in the future may have a material
impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial
assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to
provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of AASB 9 (IFRS 9) until
the Group undertakes a detailed review.
AASB 9 (IFRS 9) ‘Financial Instruments’ (December 2010), and the
relevant amending standards
A revised version of AASB 9 (IFRS 9) incorporating revised
requirements for the classification and measurement of financial
liabilities, and carrying over of the existing de-recognition
requirements from AASB 139 (IAS 39) Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement.
The revised financial liability provisions maintain the existing amortised
cost measurement basis for most liabilities. New requirements apply
where an entity chooses to measure a liability at fair value through profit
or loss – in these cases, the portion of the change in fair value related
to changes in the entity’s own credit risk is presented in other
comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss.
Through AASB 2013-9 (IFRS 9), a new hedge accounting model has
been put in place that is designed to be more closely aligned with
how entities undertake risk management activities when hedging
financial and non-financial risk exposures.
AASB 9 (IFRS 9) ‘Financial Instruments’ (December 2014), and the
relevant amending standards
The final version of AASB 9 (IFRS 9) brings together the classification
and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the
IASB’s project to replace AASB 139 (IAS 39) Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. This version adds a new expected
loss impairment model and limited amendments to classification and
measurement for financial assets.
This new version supersedes AASB 9 (IFRS 9) (December 2009)
and AASB 9 (IFRS 9) (December 2010). The new version of AASB 9
(IFRS 9) includes:
= Requirements for impairment of financial assets; and
= Limited amendments to classification and measurement of
financial assets, including introduction of a measurement
category of ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ for
debt instruments.
Note: Several versions of AASB 9 (IFRS 9) currently exist due to the
issuance of the Standard over several years. In summary:
= The mandatory effective date of AASB 9 (IFRS 9) (all versions)
and the related consequential amendments is annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018; and
= Either AASB 9 (IFRS 9) (December 2009) or AASB 9 (IFRS 9)
(December 2010) can be early adopted if adopted with an initial
application date before 1 February 2015, however after this
period only AASB 9 (IFRS 9) (December 2014) can be early adopted.
AASB 15 (IFRS 15) ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ and
AASB 2014-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
arising from AASB 15’
AASB 15 (IFRS 15) outlines a single comprehensive model for
entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts
with customers; and replaces AASB 111 (IAS 11) Construction
Contracts, AASB 118 (IAS 18) Revenue, Interpretation 13 Customer
Loyalty Programmes, Interpretation 15 Agreements for the
Construction of Real Estate, Interpretation 18 Transfers of
Assets from Customers, and Interpretation 131 Revenue-Barter
Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
The core principle is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
AASB 15 (IFRS 15) applies to annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2018. The Directors of the Company anticipate that the
application of AASB 15 (IFRS 15) in the future may have a material
impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s consolidated
financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a
reasonable estimate of the effect of AASB 15 (IFRS 15) until the
Group undertakes a detailed review.
AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
– Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and
Amortisation
Amends AASB 116 (IAS 16) Property, Plant and Equipment and
AASB 138 (IAS 38) Intangible Assets to provide additional guidance
on how the depreciation or amortisation of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets should be calculated.
The amendments apply to annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2016. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate
that the application of these amendments will have a material
impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2015-1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –
Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-
2014 Cycle’ (‘Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle’)
Amends a number of pronouncements as a result of the IASB’s
2012-2014 annual improvements cycle.
Key amendments include:
= AASB 5 (IFRS 5) – Change in methods of disposal;
= AASB 7 (IFRS 7) – Servicing contracts and applicability of the
amendments to AASB 7 to condensed interim financial statements;
= AASB 119 (IAS 19) – Discount rate: regional market issue; and
= AASB 134 (IAS 34) – Disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the
interim financial report’.
The amendments apply to annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2016. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate
that the application of these amendments will have a material
impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 201644
AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –
Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101
Amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to provide
clarification regarding the disclosure requirements in AASB 101.
Includes narrow-focus amendments to address concerns about
existing presentation and disclosure requirements and to ensure
entities are able to use judgements when applying a Standard in
determining what information to disclose in their financial statements.
The amendments apply to annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2016. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that
the application of these amendments will have a material impact
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 16 (IFRS 16) ‘Leases’
AASB 16 (IFRS 16) provides a comprehensive model for the
identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the
financial statements of both lessees and lessors. The accounting
model for lessees will require lessees to recognise all leases on
balance sheet, except for short-term leases and leases of low value
assets.
AASB 16 (IFRS 16) applies to annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2019. The Directors of the Company anticipate that the
application of AASB 16 (IFRS 16) in the future may have a material
impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the
Group’s consolidated financial statements. However, it is not
practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of AASB
16 (IFRS 16) until the Group performs a detailed review.
AASB 2016-1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –
Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses’
Amends AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ to clarify the requirements on
recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt
instruments measured at fair value.
The amendments apply to annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2017. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that
the application of these amendments will have a material impact
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2016-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –
Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107’
Amends AASB 107 ‘Statement of Cashflows’ to require entities
to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements
to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities,
including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.
The amendments apply to annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2017. The Directors of the Company do not anticipate that
the application of these amendments will have a material impact
on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in
the preparation and presentation of the financial report.
(a) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial
statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company
and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
= Has power over the investee;
= Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee; and
= Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company
obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income
and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during
the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the
Company gains control until the date when the Company
ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies
into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses
and cash flows relating to transactions between members of
the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
(b) Foreign Currencies
The individual financial statements of each group entity
are presented in the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (its functional
currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial
statements, the results and financial position of each group
entity are expressed in Australian dollars (‘$’), which is the
functional currency of the Company and the presentation
currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group
entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the
rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At
the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing
at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates
prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in
a foreign currency are not retranslated.
45
NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit
or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange
differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a
foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely
to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign
operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive
income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment
of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting these consolidated financial
statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign
operations are translated into Australian dollars using exchange
rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and
expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for
the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in
other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a foreign operation
are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and
translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each
reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in
other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
(c) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised when the amounts of the revenue can
be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits
associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and
specific criteria related to the type of revenues has been
satisfied. The Group enters into collaboration agreements that
comprise of up front payments in connection with out-licensing
activities and research funding, milestone payments based on
development achieved by our collaborators, sales and royalties
based on net sales. For these agreements, the Group applies
revenue recognition criteria to the separately identifiable
components of a single transaction. The total arrangement
consideration is allocated to separately identifiable components
by reference to their fair values. Revenue for the periods
presented included license revenues, contract services
revenues, and rental income.
(i) License revenues in connection with out-licensing of the
Group’s patents and other intellectual property to our
collaborators are recognised when the following criteria
have been met:
= The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks
and rewards of ownership of the patents and intellectual
property, and
= The Group does not retain either the continuing
managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
with ownership or the effective control over the patent and
intellectual property.
Where the above criteria are not met, up-front payments
received in connection with out-licensing activities would be
deferred. All up-front license payments so far received have
been recognised upon receipt.
(ii) For milestone receipts the Group’s collaboration partners
may be obligated to make certain payments as they achieve
certain specified milestones in the further development of
the licensed property. To date no such milestone receipts
have been received.
(iii) Contract service revenue relates to the provision of scientific
services for a fee and is recognised when the services
are rendered. The Group’s collaboration agreements
contemplate its involvement in the ongoing research and
development of its partnered drug candidates, for which the
Group is paid fees for the services rendered. Revenue from
such contracts to provide services is recognised as services
are being rendered. In addition, the Group may enter into
separate arrangements to undertake certain contract
services work for a fee and such fees are recognised by
reference to the proportion of the total cost of performing
the services to the total fee.
(iv) Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the
term of the lease.
(d) Government Research and Development Incentives
Government grants, including Research and Development
incentives, are recognised at fair value where there is
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all
grant conditions will be met.
Grants relating to cost reimbursements are recognised as
other income in profit or loss in the period when the costs
were incurred or when the incentive meets the recognition
requirements (if later).
(e) Income Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently
payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the
year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as reported
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income because of items of income or expense
that are taxable or deductible in other years and items
that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s current
tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in
the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are
generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 201646
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible
temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which those deductible
temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business
combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition,
deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates
that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability
is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax
liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would
follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end
of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount
of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to
settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and Deferred Tax for the Year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss,
except when they relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case
the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where
current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting
for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the
accounting for the business combination.
(i) Tax Consolidation Legislation
Bionomics and its wholly-owned Australian controlled
entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation
effective 31 December 2005.
The head entity, Bionomics, and the controlled entities in the
tax consolidated group account for their own current and
deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as
if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a
stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts,
Bionomics also recognises the current tax liabilities (or
assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused
tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled
entities in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements
with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts
receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts
receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are
recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-
owned tax consolidated entities.
(f) Business Combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the
acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as
the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred
by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former
owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by
the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-
related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:
= Deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities
related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised
and measured in accordance with AASB 112 (IAS 12)
‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 (IAS 19) ‘Employee Benefits’
respectively;
= Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based
payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based
payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace
share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are
measured in accordance with AASB 2 (IFRS 2) ‘Share-based
Payment’ at the acquisition date; and
= Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for
sale in accordance with AASB 5 (IFRS 5) ‘Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are
measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the
net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment,
the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is
recognised immediately in profit or loss as a gain on bargain
purchase.
Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a
business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting
from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent
consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value.
Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that
qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted
47
NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against
goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments
that arise from additional information obtained during the
‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the
acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at
the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of
contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement
period adjustments depends on how the contingent
consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is
classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting
dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within
equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset
or liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in
accordance with AASB 139 (IFRS 39), or AASB 137 (IFRS
37) ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’
respectively, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss
being recognised in profit or loss, respectively.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete
by the end of the reporting period in which the combination
occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for
which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts
are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or
additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new
information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed
as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the
amounts recognised as of that date.
(g) Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other
than Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the
carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets
have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to
determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When
it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount
of the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be
identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual
CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of
CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis
can be identified.
A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that
generates cash flow that are largely independent of cash
flows from other assets or group of assets. The CGUs are
defined as a research program that has the potential to be
commercialised at some point in the future. Achievement of
certain milestones within the research program will determine
when a CGU comes into existence.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for
impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an
indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell
and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be
less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset
or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the
relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case
the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying
amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate
of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for
the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment
loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the
relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case
the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation
increase.
(h) 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 and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within
borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of
financial position.
(i) Inventories
Consumables are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable
value.
(j) Property, Plant and Equipment
Land is stated at cost less any impairment losses if applicable
and is not depreciated.
Building, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation or accumulated impairment losses,
where applicable.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less
their residual values over their useful lives, using the diminishing
value or straight-line methods, depending on the type of asset.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation
method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 201648
The depreciation rates for each class of depreciable assets are:
= Buildings
= Plant and equipment
= Equipment under lease
25 years
20 – 40%
3 – 5 years
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss
arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property,
plant and equipment is determined as the difference between
the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is
recognised in profit or loss.
(k) Financial Assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified
categories: ‘held-to-maturity’ investments and ‘receivables’.
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of
the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial
recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial
assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date
basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales
of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the
time frame established by regulation or convention in the
marketplace.
(i) Held-to-Maturity Investments
Bills of exchange and debentures with fixed or
determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the
Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity
are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Held-to-
maturity investments are measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method less any impairment.
(ii) Receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables that have fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market are classified as ‘receivables’.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective
interest rate, except for short term receivables when the
effect of discounting is immaterial.
(iii) Impairment of Financial Assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through
profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment
at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired
where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or
more events that occurred after the initial recognition of
the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the
investment have been impacted.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount
of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective
interest rate.
The carrying amount of financial assets including
uncollectible trade receivables is reduced by the
impairment loss through the use of an allowance account.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off
are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the
carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised
in profit or loss.
(l) Intangible Assets
(i) Intellectual Property
Acquired intellectual property is recognised as an asset at
cost and amortised over its useful life. There is currently
no internally generated intellectual property that has
been capitalised. Intellectual property with a finite life is
amortised on a straight line basis over that life. Intellectual
property with an indefinite useful life is subjected to
an annual impairment review. There is currently no
intellectual property with an indefinite life. Current useful
life of all existing intellectual property is in the range of 5
to 20 years.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed,
and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.
(ii) Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried
at cost as established at the date of the acquisition of
the business (see Note 2(f) above) less accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is
allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs that is expected to
benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for
impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an
indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable
amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, the
impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying
amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the
other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount
of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill
is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss
recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant CGU, the attributable amount
of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or
loss on disposal.
(iii) Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and
recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at
their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as
their cost).
49
NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets
acquired in a business combination are reported at
cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets
that are acquired separately.
(m) Research and Development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the
prospect of obtaining new scientific or technical knowledge
and understanding, is recognised as an expense when it
is incurred. Expenditure on development activities are
capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that
the project will deliver future economic benefits and these
benefits can be measured reliably. Development costs have a
finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to
the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.
At year end there are currently no capitalised development
costs.
(n) Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which
are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid
within 45 days of recognition.
is recognised as an employee benefits expense with
a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is
measured at grant date and recognised on a straight
line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s
estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest.
The Employee Share Plan is currently not active.
The disclosure in the Remuneration Reports and Note 22
relates to the EOSP. The Bionomics ESOP was approved
by the Board and shareholders in 2014. Staff eligible to
participate in the plan are those who have been a
full-time or part-time employee of the Group for a period
of not less than six months or a director of the Group.
Options are granted under the plan for no consideration
and vest equally over five years, unless they are bonus
options which vest immediately. The amounts disclosed
as remuneration relating to options are the assessed fair
values at grant date of those options allocated equally
over the period from grant date to vesting date. Fair values
at grant date are independently determined using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account
the exercise price, the term of the option and the
vesting criteria.
(o) Employee Benefits
(p) Borrowings (Other Financial Liabilities)
(i) Short-term and Long-term Employee Benefits
(i) Warrants
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees
in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long
service leave and sick leave when it is probable that
settlement will be required and they are capable of being
measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of
short-term employee benefits, are measured at their
nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to
apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in
respect of long term employee benefits are measured as
the present value of the estimated future cash outflows
to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by
employees up to reporting date.
(ii) Retirement Benefits Costs
Retirement benefits are contributions made to employee
superannuation funds and are charged as expenses
when incurred. These contributions are made to external
superannuation funds and are not defined benefits
programs. Consequently, there is no exposure to market
movements on employee superannuation liabilities or
entitlements.
(iii) Share-based Payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to
employees via the Bionomics ESOP and an Employee
Share Plan.
The fair value of shares issued to employees for no
cash consideration under the Employee Share Plan
Warrants issued by the Group in connection with bank
loans or issued capital are classified as either financial
liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of
the contractual arrangement. Where the warrants do not
meet the definition of equity, they are initially measured at
fair value with a corresponding reduction to the associated
borrowings if associated with bank loans or as an allocation
of proceeds received if associated with a share issue.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability is fair valued
with gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss. See
Note 21 for further details.
(ii) Other Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of
transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the
proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption
amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of
the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(iii) Classification
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the
Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(q) Borrowing Costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the
period in which they are incurred.
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 201650
(r) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group
has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised
at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the
leased property and the present value of the minimum lease
payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of
finance charges, are included in other long term payables.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and
finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance
balance outstanding. The interest element of the finance cost
is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to
produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and
equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the
shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards
of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net
of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit
or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Lease income from operating leases is recognised in income
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(s) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares or options, or for the acquisition of a business, are
deducted directly from equity.
(t) Earnings/(Loss) per Share
(i) Basic Earnings/(Loss) per Share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing
the profit/(loss) after income tax attributable to equity
holders of the company, excluding any costs of servicing
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year,
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued
during the year.
(ii) Diluted Earnings/(Loss) per Share
Diluted earnings/(loss) 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 options.
(u) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the
amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is
recognised as part of the cost of 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 taxation authority is included with
other receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of
financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST
component of cash flow arising from investing or financing
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the
taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.
NOTE 3: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires
the Group to make estimates and judgements that can affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements. The Group analyses the estimates
and judgements and base estimates and judgements on historical
experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from
the estimates. The significant accounting policies are detailed in
Note 2 for the year ended 30 June 2016. Summarised below are
the accounting policies of particular importance to the portrayal of
the financial position and results of operations and that require the
application of significant judgements or estimates by management.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Group assesses annually, or whenever there is a change in
circumstances, whether goodwill or other intangible assets may
be impaired. Determining whether goodwill and other intangible
assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of
the CGUs to which goodwill or other intangible assets have been
allocated. The value in use calculation is judgemental in nature
and requires the Group to make a number of estimates including
the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGUs based on
observable market comparables for drug compounds within the
CGU and over a period covering drug discovery, development,
approval and marketing as well as, a suitable discount rate in order
to calculate present value. The cash flow projections are further
weighted based on the observable market comparables probability
of realising projected milestone and royalty payments. When the
carrying value of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the
CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are further recognised in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income. A detailed valuation was performed as of 30 June 2016
and each computed fair value of our CGU was in excess of the
carrying amount respectively. As a result of this evaluation, it was
determined that no impairment of goodwill or other intangible
assets existed at 30 June 2016.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Contingent Consideration
As a result of the acquisition of Eclipse Therapeutic, Inc. (Eclipse)
during the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group determines and
recognises at each reporting date the fair value of the additional
consideration that may be payable to Eclipse security holders
due to potential royalty payments based on achieving late-stage
development success or partnering outcomes based on Eclipse
assets. Such potential earn-out payments are recorded at fair
value and include a number of significant estimates including
adjusted revenue projections and expenses, probability of such
projections and a suitable discount rate to calculate present value.
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 is determined
by using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms
and conditions upon which the instruments were granted and
are disclosed in Note 22(d)(ii). The accounting estimates and
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments
would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact
profit or loss and equity.
Gain on Bargain Purchase
The purchase price of acquisitions is allocated to identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values
based on established valuation techniques. Goodwill represents
the residual value as of the acquisition date, which in most cases is
measured as the excess of the purchase consideration transferred
over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. In cases of a bargain purchase,
a gain is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income. During the fiscal year ended
30 June 2015, the Company recorded a gain on bargain purchase
resulting from the acquisition of Prestwick. As the predecessor
company was in administration, the administrator sought bids for
the assets of the company and the Group was the sole bidder.
Revenue Recognition
From time to time the Group enters into license and collaboration
arrangements for licensing and research activities, for which the
Group may receive payments in connection with out-licensing
and research funding activities, milestone payments based on
developments achieved by our collaborators and royalties based
on net sales. For these agreements, the Group applies the revenue
recognition criteria to the separately identifiable component and
the total arrangement consideration is allocated to separately
identifiable components by reference to their fair values. License
revenue is further recognised once the Group has transferred to
the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the
patent and intellectual property and the Group does not retain
involvement to the degree associated with ownership or effective
control over the patent and intellectual property. Any provision
of scientific services included in those license and collaboration
agreements is further recognised as contract services revenue
when the services are rendered. In addition, our wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Neurofit and Prestwick, provide third party contract
services which are recognised by reference to the proportion of
the total cost of the contract. The Group has not received any
payment and has not recognised any revenues related to milestone
payments.
Tax Losses
Given the Group’s history of recent losses, a deferred tax asset
has not been recognised with regard to unused tax losses and
other temporary differences, as it has not been determined
whether the Company, or its subsidiaries will generate sufficient
taxable income against which the unused tax losses and other
temporary differences can be utilised. The availability of tax losses
is subject to the Australian continuity of ownership test or, if that
test is failed, the same business test. If funding is continued to be
obtained from new shareholders, then the continuity of ownership
test may not be complied with, which may impact the availability of
unutilised losses in future periods.
Other Financial Liabilities – Conditional Warrants
The Group issues warrants from time to time which have been in
connection with either the bank loan or issued capital as detailed
in Note 21. During the year ended 30 June 2016, a derivative was
recognised in relation to the conditional warrants issued by the
Group in connection with the private placement of shares in
December 2015. The conditional warrants were initially measured
at fair value in accordance with AASB 139 (IAS 39) and then
revalued at each balance date with any movement in valuations
recognised in the profit or loss. The conditional warrants were
valued using a Black-Scholes methodology taking into account the
terms and conditions under the relevant agreement as disclosed in
Note 22(e).

(i) The Government Research and Development Incentives include cash refunds provided by the Australian Government for 45% of
eligible research and development expenditures by Australian entities having a tax loss and less than A$20 million in revenue.
The grants are calculated at the end of the fiscal year to which they relate, based on the expenses incurred in and included in the
fiscal year’s Australian income tax return after registration of the research and development activities with the relevant authorities.
There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attaching to the government Research and Development Incentive.
Potentially eligible overseas expenditure awaiting government approval pending review of applications submitted during the year
ended 30 June 2016 has been excluded from the calculation of the Research and Development Incentive and if approved, will result
in an additional receipt of approximately $87 thousand (2015: $1.5m).

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES CONT.
(e) Tax Consolidation
Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group
The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law.
Bionomics is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/benefit, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising
from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the
members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in
the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities and assets
and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are
recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

The average credit period on sales of services is 60 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables for the first 60 days from the date of the
invoice. Thereafter, interest is charged at 2% per annum on the outstanding balance. Allowances for doubtful debts are recognised against
trade receivables based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparty and an
analysis of the counterparty’s current financial position. The Group has not recognised an allowance for doubtful debts.
Before accepting any new customer, the Group reviews the quality of the customer. This is also reviewed prior to commencing any new major
work. Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the 2016 financial year, the Group’s largest customer, Merck, represented 79% of the total
balance of trade receivables (2015: no customer representing more than 5% of the total balances).

Financial Position as follows:

NOTE 10: TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES CONT.
Trade receivables disclosed above include amounts (see below for aged analysis) that are past due at the end of the reporting period for
which the Group has not recognised an allowance for doubtful debts because there has not been a significant change in credit quality and
the amounts (which include interest accrued after the receivable is more than 60 days outstanding) are still considered recoverable.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from
the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period. Typically, the concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact
that the customer base is large and unrelated, except as noted above.

NOTE 15: GOODWILL CONT.
(a) Impairment Tests
There are two Cash Generating Units (CGUs), Drug discovery and development, and Contract services. These are the same as the
operating segments identified in Note 4. Management tests annually whether goodwill or indefinite life intangibles have suffered
any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2(l)(i) and (l)(ii). For the purpose of impairment testing all
goodwill is allocated to the Drug discovery and development CGU.
Determining whether goodwill or intangibles are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the CGUs to which goodwill
or indefinite life intangibles have been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows
expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value over the expected life cycle of the
commercialisation of the assets - in line with the average patent life and development cycle of the drug compound. A pre-tax discount
rate of 25% has been used.
Allocation of Goodwill to Group CGU’s
The carrying amount of goodwill was allocated to the following CGU’s:
Drug discovery and development
Contract services
2016
$
2015
$
10,642,229
10,488,633
-
-
Drug Discovery and Development
The recoverable amount of this CGU is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based
on observable market comparables for drug compounds within the CGU over a period of twenty years covering drug discovery,
development, approval and marketing, and a discount rate of 25% per annum (2015: 25% per annum). The cash flow projections are
weighted based on the observable market comparables probability of realising projected milestone and royalties payments.
Management believes that the application of discounted cash flows of observable market comparables for one drug compound is
reasonable to be applied to other compounds within the CGU at their respective development phases.
Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not
cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGU.
No growth rates have been included in the forecast. As the full discovery and development life cycle has been taken into account with
the cashflows, no terminal value has been used.
NOTE 16: OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intellectual Property
The acquired intellectual property includes the Company’s Multicore technology, its BNC101 drug candidate and its BNC105 drug candidate.
Each item is carried at its fair value as at its date of acquisition, less accumulated amortisation charges. The remaining amortisation
periods for each item are between 5 and 20 years. There is currently no internally generated intellectual property capitalised.

A derivative was recognised in relation to the warrants issued by the Group in connection with the USD loan included in Note 18(v). These
warrants are currently exercisable at the discretion of the holder and exchangeable for either 988,843 (2015: 643,611) ordinary shares
at a fixed price (345,232 at $0.5288 and 643,611 at $0.54) or a lower number of shares for nil consideration, with the number of shares
calculated on the basis of a formula which takes into account the movement in the share price of the Company from the date of issue to
date of exercise of the warrant.

A derivative was recognised in relation to the conditional warrants issued by the Group in connection with the private placement of shares
in December 2015 (see Note 22(a)). Under the Share Placement Agreement, 16,082,988 warrants for 16,082,988 ordinary shares at a fixed
price ($0.5938) are required to be issued at the earlier of the approval of shareholders for the issue of the warrants and the passage of
12 months from the date of the agreement. As at 30 June 2016 the warrants are currently expected to be issued in December 2016.
In the event that the warrants are not issued, the Company would be required to make a payment to the private placement participants.
The Directors currently expect to issue the warrants in December 2016. Once the warrants are issued, their expiry date would be
December 2021.
The warrants and conditional warrants were initially measured at fair value in accordance with AASB 139 (IAS 39). The value of the
warrants and conditional warrants liability is remeasured at each balance date with any movement in valuations recognised in the profit
or loss.

Changes to the then Corporations Law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation to share capital from 1 July 1998.
Therefore, the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and issued shares do not have a par value.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the
number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person

options were adjusted under ASX Listing Rule 6.22 and are shown in the table below in this Note 22(d)(i).

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns whilst maximising the
return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2015. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes
borrowings (Note 18), cash and cash equivalents (Note 8) and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued
capital (Note 22), reserves (Note 23) and retained earnings.
The Group has global operations, primarily conducted through subsidiary companies established in the markets in which the Group
trades. None of the Group’s entities is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Group’s policy is to fund the research and development activities and operations through the issue of equity and the
commercialisation of Intellectual Property assets. Project specific borrowings are utilised where appropriate and also minor
borrowings for operational assets, as required.

(c) Financial Risk Management Objectives
The Board, through the Audit and Risk Management (ARM) Committee, is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in
relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. In summary, Group policies are designed to ensure significant
strategic, operational, legal, reputational and financial risks are identified, assessed, and effectively monitored and managed in a
manner sufficient for a company of Bionomics’ size and stage of development to enable achievement of the Group’s business strategy
and objectives.
The Group’s risk management policies are managed by the key management personnel (KMP) and are reviewed by the ARM
Committee according to a timetable of assessment and review proposed by that committee and approved by the Board.
(d) Market Risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (e) below) and
interest rates (see (f) below).
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, if and when appropriate.
Unless approved by the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, and ARM Committee, interest rate derivatives are not entered into.
The Group measures market risk exposures using sensitivity analysis. There has been no material change to the Group’s exposure to
market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.
There were no derivative financial instruments outstanding as at 30 June 2016 (2015: nil).
(e) Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently exposures to exchange rate fluctuations
arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed in accordance with established policies. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign
currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting date are as follows:

Foreign Currency Sensitivity Analysis
The Group is mainly exposed to Euros (EUR), US dollars (USD) and Pound Sterling (GBP).
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against the relevant foreign
currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to KMP and represents management’s
assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign
currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year-end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.
A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the Australian dollar strengthens 10% against the relevant
currency. For a 10% weakening of the Australian dollar against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the
profit or equity with the balances being the opposite.

(i) this is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on EUR payables in the Group at the end of the reporting period.
(ii) this is mainly attributable to the exposure to outstanding USD net assets at the end of the reporting period.
(iii) this is as a result of the changes in fair value of the net investment in subsidiaries denominated in EUR, reflected in the foreign
currency translation reserve.
(iv) this is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on GBP payables in the Group at the end of the reporting period.
(v) this is as a result of the changes in fair value of the net investment in subsidiaries denominated in USD, reflected in the foreign
currency translation reserve.
The Group’s sensitivity to foreign currency has decreased during the current year mainly due to the mix of net assets held in non-
Australian dollar denominated currencies, in particular, the USD net borrowings valued through the profit or loss.
The sensitivity analysis may not represent the quantum of foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting
period does not reflect the exposure during the year. Requirements change during the financial year depending on research and
development activities being undertaken and contract research service financial performance.
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
It is the policy of the Group to enter into forward foreign currency contracts to cover specific foreign currency payments and receipts
when appropriate (such as when there is a legal commitment to pay or receive foreign currency or the Chief Executive Officer and
Managing Director has a high degree of confidence (›90%) that a foreign currency exposure will arise).
Under the Group’s Treasury Policy, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will manage the foreign exchange transaction risk adopting the
following guidelines:
= Generally hedge foreign exchange exposure identified above by entering into a forward currency contract.
= The duration of any forward currency contract(s) will approximate the period in which the net currency exposure arises.
= Recognising the uncertainty that exists in projecting forward foreign currency flows, a maximum net foreign currency exposure
position may be held at any point in time.
Due to the long-term nature of the net investment in the EUR and USD denominated wholly owned subsidiaries, the investments will
not be hedged into Australian dollars, with the result that the Australia dollar value of the investments will fluctuate with the market
rate through the foreign currency translation reserve.
There were no forward foreign currency contracts outstanding as at 30 June 2016 (2015: nil).
(f) Interest Rate Risk Management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk, only in relation to the cash and cash equivalent balance, as entities in the Group invest
funds in both fixed and variable interest rates with various maturities. The Group does not use interest rate swap contracts or forward
interest rate contracts.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period and the
stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher / (lower) and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s:
= loss for the year ended 30 June 2016 would increase / (decrease) by $83,722 (2015: increase / (decrease) by $52,469). This is mainly
attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate deposits.
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the current year mainly due to the reduction in interest rates.
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 201672
NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONT.
(g) Credit Risk Management
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 adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as
a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
As of 30 June 2016, Merck represented 79% of the Group’s trade and other receivables (2015: no customer representing more than 5%
of the total balances). The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned
by international credit rating agencies.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the Group’s
maximum exposure to credit risk.
(h) Liquidity Risk Management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board, which has approved an appropriate liquidity risk
management framework for management of the Group’s short, medium and long term funding. The Group manages liquidity risk by
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in
Note 18 is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.
(i) Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based
on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables
include both interest and principal cash flows.

NOTE 33: CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
During the year ended 30 June 2013, the Company acquired Eclipse Therapeutics, Inc. (Eclipse) into the wholly owned subsidiary
Bionomics, Inc.
Part of the consideration are potential cash earn-outs to Eclipse security holders based on achieving late stage development success or
partnering outcomes based on Eclipse assets. Due to the movement in the US dollar, change in projected inputs and unwinding of interest,
at 30 June 2016 this was $10,489,438 (30 June 2015: $8,276,292).
Dr Jonathan Lim retired as a Director of Bionomics on 18 November 2015 and was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eclipse at
the time of the acquisition of Eclipse, and joined the Board of Directors of Bionomics (14 September 2014). As a shareholder of Eclipse at
the time of the acquisition, Dr Lim is therefore eligible to receive his pro rata share of any potential contingent consideration to Eclipse
security holders. As at 30 June 2015, Dr Lim’s pro rata share of the contingent consideration was $1,763,926, assuming the contingent
consideration was fully earned.

Gain on Bargain Purchase Arising on Acquisition (Note 5)
$
931,053
(391,136)
539,917
The gain on bargain purchase has been recognised as other income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income in 2015. As the predecessor company was in administration, the administrator sought bids for the assets of the
company and the Group was the only bidder.
Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2015
Included in the loss for the 2015 full-year is $72,335 attributable to this acquisition. Revenue for the full-year included $1,652,233 in
respect of this acquisition.
Had the acquisition been effected at 1 July 2014, the revenue of the Group from continuing operations for the twelve months ended 30 June
2015 would have been $8,326,477, and the loss from continuing operations for the twelve months ended 30 June 2015 would have been
$16,704,964. The Directors of the Group considered these ‘pro-forma’ numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance
of the combined group on a yearly basis. This may provide a reference point for comparison in future years, but will depend on the
revenue and profit derived from external customers versus internal customers.
In determining the ‘pro-forma’ loss of the Group had Prestwick been acquired at the beginning of the prior year:
= Depreciation has been calculated for plant and equipment acquired on the basis of the fair values arising in the initial accounting for the
business combination rather than the carrying amounts recognised in the pre-acquisition financial statements; and
= An assumption of a similar level of contract research work and chemical library sales has been made.
NOTE 35: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A contingent liability exists in relation to employee contracts of up to $871,206 (2015: $887,038) in the event of redundancy, purchase or
merger of the Company by a third party resulting in a material diminution in the employee’s duties.
In January 2012, the Company entered into a research and license agreement with Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Ironwood, pursuant
to which Ironwood was granted worldwide development and commercialisation rights for BNC210. In November 2014, the parties mutually
agreed to terminate this license agreement, reverting all rights to BNC210 back to the Company. Our sole obligation to Ironwood is to pay
Ironwood low, single digit royalties on the net sales of BNC210, if commercialised. It is not practicable to estimate the future payments of
any such royalties that may arise due to the stage of development of BNC210.
