CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder, 

The past year has been a challenging year for all with difficult 
market conditions continuing throughout 2015.

Advent Energy Ltd

BPH has continued to hold its investment in its 
investee company, oil and gas explorer Advent 
Energy Ltd. 

In addition to this, the Federal Government’s White 
Paper on Developing Northern Australia described 
an estimated increase in electricity consumption of  
52 per cent by 2018 for northern Western Australia.

Work is continuing on the preparations for a future 
drilling campaign to discover gas offshore Sydney. 
If successful, and gas is discovered in the future as 
a consequence of these activities, the economic 
benefits for NSW gas and electricity consumers could 
be significant, especially considering the current 
shortfall of gas forecast for the NSW domestic 
market.

In northern Australia, Advent Energy continued its 
commercial discussions, planning and engineering 
evaluation for development of its conventional gas 
resources in EP386 and RL1, onshore Bonaparte 
Basin. This includes discussions with potential third 
party infrastructure providers to contribute expertise 
and resources to the conceptual commercialisation 
of a virtual pipeline gas delivery methodology in 
the east Kimberley region. This commercialisation 
strategy is aided by the completion of key road 
infrastructure constructed by the State and Federal 
Governments as part of the East Kimberley 
Development Package that encroaches upon 
Advent’s gas resources in EP386 and RL1.

New market studies have identified a current 
market demand of up to 30.8 TJ per day of power 
generation capacity across the Kimberley region that 
could potentially be supplied by Advent Energy’s 
conventional gas projects in EP386 and RL1.  

The release of the Federal Government’s White Paper 
on Developing Northern Australia provides great 
confidence for an ongoing expansion of the east 
Kimberley region. The Commonwealth Government 
is providing a new $5 billion Northern Australian 
Infrastructure Facility to provide concessional loans 
for the construction of major infrastructure such as 
ports, roads, rail, pipelines, electricity and water 
supply. This will greatly assist Advent Energy in 
further market development and potential reduced 
costs through the government funded infrastructure 
developments that may improve roads and ports in 
the vicinity of Advent’s EP386 and RL1 resources.

Cortical Dynamics Ltd 

During the period Cortical Dynamics continued  
with its application for regulatory approval of the  
BAR Monitor. 

In 2013 Cortical lodged an application for Conformity 
Assessment Certification with the Australian 
therapeutics and goods administration (TGA), a 
review which comprises of an on-site audit of a 
company’s manufacturing facility in addition to the 
examination of the device’s clinical evidence. 

The on-site audit showed Cortical to satisfactorily 
comply with the manufacturing standard established 
under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. Satisfactorily 
complying with the TGA on-site audit validates 
Cortical’s Quality Management System to a standard 
that is recognised for the design, development and 
manufacturing of safe medical devices. 

Recent studies have indicated that several TRIM 
proteins function as important regulators in cancer 
development and progression. Research conducted 
at the Perkins Institute has shown that HLs5 has 
significant tumour suppressor properties. During 
the year the team at the Harry Perkins Institute of 
Medical Research began examining the liver sections 
of aged HLS5 knockout mice for the presence or 
absence of cancer. This experiment is a precursor 
to a larger, long-term experiment which will further 
define HLS5’s role in liver cancer progression and 
development. MDSystems will continue working with 
Professor Peter Klinken and his research group at the 
Perkins Institute with the aim of developing the HLs5 
research to its full potential. 

We once again thank you for your continued support 
during trying conditions and we look forward to 
further improving our investments and value in 2016. 

TGA certification will allow Cortical to market the 
BAR monitor within Australia, and then to move to 
sell into Europe.

Yours Sincerely,

Molecular Discovery Systems Ltd 

The team at the Perkins Institute have uncovered 
a role for HLs5 in leukaemia and breast cancer. 
HLs5, also known as TRIM 35, is a member of the 
family of tripartite motif (TRIM) containing proteins.

Molecular Discovery Systems

Drug Discovery and High-Content Screening Technology

In 2014 after careful consideration of general market conditions 
and of its available resources, Molecular Discovery Systems 
Limited (MDSystems) decided to temporarily suspend its 
early stage drug discovery program. Although the Company 
suspended its early stage drug discovery program, MDSystems 
has continued its work with the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical 
Research (“Perkins Institute”) in relation to the tumour suppressor 
gene, HLs5. MDSystems will continue working with the Perkins 
Institute to develop and validate HLs5 as a tumour suppressor. 

The publication of two scientific papers further support HLS5’s  
(referred as TRIM 35) role as a tumour suppressor gene.

The publications — a collaboration between Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre and other Chinese 
Institutes, including Shanghai Cancer Institute, Liver Cancer Institute, focus on identifying the role of HLS5 in liver 
cancer, the third leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide.

As liver cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages, where therapeutic options are limited, the identification 
of new genes that drive liver cancer will not only provide insight into the early stages of liver cancer but also 
facilitate in the identification of new drugs.

The first article establishes the means by which HLS5 suppresses the proliferation of cancer cells in liver cancer 
and concludes that HLS5 and PKM2 expression levels are a critical mechanism in the development of human 
cancers. The group demonstrates that HLS5 binds a key enzyme involved in the production of energy for cancer 
cells (Pyruvate Kinase isoform M2 (PKM2)). Subsequent experiments determine that HLS5 binds PKM2 to form 
a complex which decreases the level of activated PKM2. The formation of this HLS5/PKM2 complex ultimately 
limits the cancer cell’s means of energy production and its ability to proliferate. In the second publication the 
expression levels of HLS5 and PKM2 are assessed for its potential use as a prognostic marker for hepatocellular 
carcinoma (HCC) - liver cancer. The 
study analysed the liver samples of 
688 patients and found that patients 
who had HCC and were positive for 
PKM2 expression and negative for 
HLS5 had shorter overall survival 
and time to recurrence.

Taken together, the findings of both 
papers further support the research 
by MDS and the Perkins Institute on 
this tumour suppressor gene.

MDSystems has an extensive 
patent portfolio for HLS5 which 
encapsulates the gene as a potential 
cancer therapeutic target.

HLS5 Technology 

MDSystems is working with Professor Peter Klinken and his team at the Perkins Institute to develop and validate 
HLS5 as a novel tumour suppressor gene. A concerted research effort by leading Australian scientists has 
revealed that HLS5 works through multiple pathways that may target cancer as well as a range of other diseases 
such as Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and HIV infection.  

The team at the Perkins Institute have uncovered a role for HLs5 in leukaemia and breast cancer. HLs5, also 
known as TRIM 35, is a member of the family of tripartite motif (TRIM) containing proteins. Recent studies 
have indicated that several TRIM proteins function as important regulators in cancer development and 
progression. Research conducted at the Perkins Institute has shown that HLs5 has significant tumour suppressor 
properties. Their findings are supported by an independent publication implicating the role of HLs5 in cancer, 
demonstrating that the loss of Hls5 expression may be a critical event in liver cancer. MDSystems will continue 
working with Professor Peter Klinken and his research group at the Perkins Institute with the aim of developing 
the HLs5 research to its full potential. MDSystems has an extensive patent portfolio encapsulating the tumour 
suppressor gene HLS5 both as a potential therapeutic target and also underpinning its involvement in a variety 
of disease pathways. The patent portfolio surrounding HLS5 is currently going through the various stages of the 
patent application process in Australia, Europe and the US. The patent “Tumour Suppressor Factor” has been 
issued as a patent in the United States of America and Australia. Additionally, the patents titled ‘Sumoylation 
control agent and uses thereof’, ‘Agent for the treatment of hormone-dependent disorders and uses thereof’ 
and ‘Transcription factor modulator’ have been issued in Australia.

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESCortical Dynamics Limited

BAR Technology 

Cortical Dynamics Limited (“Cortical”) is working with 
BPH and the Swinburne University of Technology 
(“SUT”) to develop and commercialise a unique 
depth of anaesthesia monitoring system for use 
during major surgery. The core technology is based 
on real time analysis of the patient’s brain electrical 
activity, electroencephalograph (EEG), using a 
proprietary algorithm based on a mathematically and 
physiologically detailed understanding of the brain’s 
rhythmic electrical activity.

The theory developed by Professor David Liley, who heads the scientific team at Cortical, provides for the first 
time a meaningful way of relating brain electrical activity to the underlying physiological processes that generate 
EEG. Using this physiological approach Cortical has developed the Brain Anaesthesia Response (BAR) monitor, 
a monitor designed to better detect the effect of anaesthetic agents on brain activity and assist anaesthetists 
in keeping patients optimally anaesthetised. The BAR monitor distinguishes between changes in higher brain 
function that occur as result of anaesthetic action using two uniquely defined measures Cortical State (CS) and 
Cortical Input (CI). 

Cortical’s physiological approach is fundamentally different from all other devices currently available on the 
market which produce EEG indexes based on black boxed statistical approaches. Such data mining requires 
no physiological knowledge of how anaesthetic agents affect the brain. Cortical is confident that the BAR’s 
methodology and unique indicies will be a more sensitive measure of the state of the brain during anaesthesia 
than the current alternatives. Moreover, this unique physiological approach may allow the BAR monitor to be 
applied to markets beyond that of anaesthesia monitoring and may be applied to neuro-diagnostic applications, 
including the detection of the early onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, 
and in development of drugs associated with these conditions.

Funding received from a National Health and Medical Research Council Development Grant enabled substantial 
improvements in the performance of the BAR monitor. In particular, it has resulted in the development of 
a modified sensor layout having improved performance and sensitivity, as well as an upgrade of the data 
acquisition module to enable a greater resilience to the effects of noise and artefact in a range of clinical 
monitoring situations. 

Using data collected from a third party’s hardware, two clinical trials were initially completed to evaluate the 
BAR algorithm. The first trial was designed to test the sensitivity of a new method in quantifying the effect 
various levels of nitrous oxide have on measures of anaesthetic depth. The results were published in the peer 
reviewed international journal Computers in Biology and Medicine. The second trial was designed to evaluate 
the sensitivity of the BAR methodology to opioids and other intravenous anaesthetic drugs. These trials have 
provided evidence that the BAR algorithm is more sensitive than competitive monitors in detecting the effects of 
anaesthetics on brain activity.

Cortical Dynamics Limited (continued)

BAR Technology (continued)

In order to corroborate the results 
of the trial above, a data set, from 
a similarly constructed trial, was 
obtained from Professor Michel Struys 
from the Department of Anaesthesia, 
Ghent University Hospital Belgium 
and Professor Tarmo Lipping from 
the Tampere University in Finland. 
The analysis of this European data 
set using the BAR’s methodology 
unambiguously indicated that the 
effects of remifentanil (a powerful 
synthetic opioid) and propofol (a 
widely used intravenous general 
anaesthetic agent) on brain electrical 
activity can be differentiated. These 
results suggest that analgesia and anaesthesia may be monitored independently using the EEG. The results of 
this analysis have been presented at the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA), and 
also published in the prestigious journal Anesthesiology in 2010. 

In what has already been a methodical validation process Cortical has completed its first human clinical trial 
using the BAR monitor end-to-end (from electrode to monitor). The aim of trial was to (a) evaluate the BAR 
monitor’s ability to distinguish between two doses of fentanyl, a commonly used analgesic agent, and (b) assess 
the immunity of the BAR monitor to a range of mechanical and electrical artifacts known to complicate EEG 
measurement. In the study a total of 25 patients undergoing coronary artery graft bypass surgery were recruited 
in to the trial.

Significantly, the analysis concluded that CI could differentiate between the different doses of fentanyl while 
CS was well correlated with the Bispectral Index (BIS), a generally accepted measure of sedation. In addition 
this trial demonstrated the ability of the BAR monitor to operate effectively in an electrically noisy operating 
room environment. The trial’s findings suggest that the BAR monitor may find significant utility in the delivery 
of optimal and balanced surgical anaesthesia. The validation of the BAR monitor within the operating room is a 
significant step in the BAR’s development program. 

Cortical is progressing the BAR monitor toward regulatory approval in Australia and Europe. In 2013 Cortical 
lodged an application for Conformity Assessment Certification with the Australian therapeutics and goods 
administration (“TGA”), a review which comprises of an on-site audit of a company’s manufacturing facility in 
addition to the examination of the device’s clinical evidence. 

The on-site audit showed Cortical to satisfactorily comply with the manufacturing standard established under 
the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. Satisfactorily complying with the TGA on-site audit validates Cortical’s Quality 
Management System to a standard that is recognised for the design, development and manufacturing of safe 
medical devices. 

Late 2014 Cortical Dynamics Ltd voluntarily withdrew its Conformity Assessment application after receiving 
feedback from the TGA. Cortical subsequently refined its application to better reflect the Essential Principles 
of the TGA and submitted an amended application in February 2015 and is awaiting a response to this.  TGA 
certification will allow Cortical to market the BAR monitor within Australia.

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESCortical has 5 patent families that have all matured into National patent applications variously in Australia, 
Europe, New Zealand the United States, China and Japan. “Method of monitoring brain function” has been 
issued as a patent in New Zealand (541615), Australia (2004206763), Europe (4701863.5), Japan (4693763) and 
the United States (7937138). The patent “Brain Function Monitoring and Display System” has been issued

(2007257336), Europe (7719044.5), Japan (5194291)*, China (ZL200780027483.2) and the United States (8483815). 
The patent “Neurodiagnostic Monitoring and Display System” has been issued as a patent within Australia 
(2007354331). Cortical will continue to drive the development of the BAR monitor, maintain its intellectual 
property and concentrate on obtaining regulatory approval for the BAR monitor. 

*  Due to a requirement of Japanese law the original patent application title of ‘EEG Analysis System’ was 

changed to ‘Method for displaying the activity of a brain and system for displaying the activity of the brain’.

Diagnostic Array Systems

Diagnostic Array Systems (DAS) has created the BacTrak™ System which is a diagnostic test for the detection 
of respiratory infections (e.g. diagnosis of pneumonia, Tuberculosis (TB) and Legionella disease). Our system 
identifies the cause of disease by testing for multiple bacteria in a single sputum sample quickly, efficiently 
and more accurately than current techniques. The test has important implications for the clinical management 
of infectious diseases by identifying the specific bacteria responsible for a disease and suggesting the most 
effective therapy. Utilisation of the novel test is intended to provide more information, quicker than alternative 
methods. It has the potential to accelerate therapeutic treatment, lead to a reduction in hospitalisations and 
help reduce the overuse of antibiotics.

Amongst all infectious diseases, respiratory diseases are the most common illnesses in the world. They are 
highly contagious and are easily spread. The disease causing bacteria can remain in the air where they can easily 
reach other individuals by inhalation. The number of patients suffering from respiratory infections is increasing, 
as is the number of deaths caused by these diseases. DAS has completed its research with in-house validation 
and has held discussions with third parties to license the technology.

BPH has assisted with funding the development of BacTrak™ which includes a number of key features that 
underpin its commercial potential. These include:

•  Rapid simultaneous detection of 16 respiratory pathogens including Tuberculosis (TB), Legionella, and 

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Auus (MRSA).

•  Results within hours rather than days using the current culture gold standard.

•  Sensitivity and positive confirmation for the 16 pathogens from easily obtained clinical sputum samples.

Direct benefits from the project development include:

•  Earlier, pathogen specific treatment;

•  Shorter length of hospital stay;

•  Earlier potential isolation of hospital patients; and

•  Reduction in the over-prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics.

The core technology underlying this multiplexed screening has been granted patents in the US, Australia  
and Japan.

Advent Energy

Western Australia / Northern Territory – Onshore Bonaparte Basin

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”), through wholly owned subsidiary Onshore Energy Pty Ltd, holds 100% of each of 
EP386 and RL1 in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in northern Australia. The Bonaparte Basin is a highly prospective 
petroliferous basin, with significant reserves of oil and gas. Most of the basin is located offshore, covering 
250,000 square kilometres, compared to just over 20,000 square kilometres onshore.. 

The Bonaparte Basin is currently Australia’s third most prolific offshore hydrocarbon producing basin (after the 
Northern Carnarvon and Gippsland basins) with 4.2 MMbbl (0.7Gl) of oil and 153.1 Bcf (4.3 Bcm) of gas produced 
in 2010.

Advent holds Exploration Permit EP386 (2,568 square kilometres in area) which is the sole petroleum permit in 
the Western Australian section of the onshore Bonaparte Basin. There have been 21 wells drilled in onshore 
basin. i.e. 9 in existing EP386, 5 in existing RL1. Plus Pelican Island-1, Spirit Hill-1, Pincombe-1, Keep River-1, 
Cullen-1, Kullshill-1 and 2.  

Waggon Creek-1, drilled in 1995, provided strong evidence of a significant sweet gas-charged stratigraphic 
trap with fair to good quality sandstone reservoir within the upper Milligans Formation. Drilling of Vienta-1 in 
1998 demonstrated numerous gas shows within Enga Sandstone units, with dry gas flowed to surface and visual 
porosity described in the cuttings. Both Waggon Creek-1 and Vienta-1 were cased and suspended for future 
production. 

Location of EP 386 and RL1 including Weaber, Waggon Creek and Vienta gas fields, and other prospects  
and leads.

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESProduction testing of the Waggon Creek-1 well demonstrated flows of over 1 million standard cubic feet of 
natural gas per day (MMscf/d) and a gas column over a 217 metre gross interval. Production testing of the 
Vienta-1 well demonstrated flows of over 2 MMscf/d. Gas production at Waggon Creek was from zones less than 
1000 meter below surface.

Within EP386, Prospective Resource estimates range from 53.3 Bcf (low) to 1,326.3 Bcf (high), with a Best 
Estimate of 355.9 Bcf of gas.

In the NT, Advent holds Retention Licence RL1 (166 square kilometres in area), which covers the Weaber Gas 
Field, originally discovered in 1985. 

Advent has previously advised that the 2C Contingent Resources* for the Weaber Gas Field in RL1 are 11.5 
billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas following an independent audit by RISC. Significant upside 3C Contingent 
Resources of 45.8 Bcf have also been assessed by RISC.

Production testing at Waggon Creek-1.

The current rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, including the Ord River 
Irrigation Area phase 2, the township of Kununurra, and numerous regional resource projects provides an 
exceptional opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources. 

New market studies have identified a current market demand of up to 30.8 TJ per day of power generation 
capacity across the Kimberley region that could potentially be supplied by Advent Energy’s conventional gas 
projects in EP386 and RL1. In addition, the Federal Government’s White Paper on Developing Northern Australia 
described an estimated increase in electricity consumption of 52 per cent by 2018 for northern Western Australia.

The release of the Federal Government’s White Paper on Developing Northern Australia provides great 
confidence for an ongoing expansion of the east Kimberley region. The Commonwealth Government is 
providing a new $5 billion Northern Australian Infrastructure Facility to provide concessional loans for the 
construction of major infrastructure such as ports, roads, rail, pipelines, electricity and water supply. This will 
greatly assist Advent in further market development and potential reduced costs through the government 
funded infrastructure developments that may improve roads and ports in the vicinity of Advent’s EP386 and  
RL1 resources.

10

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015 HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESThe Seafarms Group is progressing the potential development of Project Sea Dragon, a proposed world scale 
aquaculture operation adjacent to Advent’s EP386 and RL1 gas resources spanning the border of northern 
Western Australia and Northern Territory. Land access rights for Legune Station have been acquired by the 
Seafarms Group which will allow progression to application for regulatory approvals and commencement of a 
bankable feasibility study. A Letter Of Intent was signed by Advent Energy with the proponents of Project Sea 
Dragon in 2013 for the potential supply of energy to the aquaculture operation.

Advent is in an exceptional position to potentially satisfy this growing regional demand where it remains the 
operator and 100% owner of key petroleum permits in the vicinity of this region.

Unconventional Resources Within EP 386 and RL1

The prospectivity of the Bonaparte Basin is evident from the known oil and gas fields in both the offshore and 
onshore portions of the basin. Advent’s onshore EP 386 and RL1 contain many large structures with conventional 
reservoir gas discoveries.

Garimala-1: Elevated Gas Shows over Milligans-Langfield Section

Example well composite log from Garimala-1 demonstrating elevated gas shows over a considerable shale

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015COMPANY FOCUS AND DEVELOPMENTS

Unconventional Resources Within EP 386 and RL1 (continued)

Advent has identified significant shale areas in EP386 and RL1 and is continuing to assess these resources. The 
following data illustrates detail from that study showing results from the re-analysis of the well logs from prior 
drilling in Advent’s areas using enhanced computer processes.

•  Advent has indicated significant potential upside in prospective shale gas resources with estimated unrisked 
original gas in place (OGIP) in the range from 19 TCF to 141 TCF for the 100% Advent owned EP386 and RL1;

•  The thickness of the prospective shale gas play varies from 300m to over 1500m;

• 

In addition to the existing gas discoveries in conventional petroleum reservoirs, composite wireline and 
mudlog gas display of these wells have consistently indicated the presence of continuous elevated gas 
shows. Source rock analyses on core, sidewall core and cuttings samples have indicated the presence of 
source rocks with up to 4.3 % Total Organic Contact and mature for gas and oil generation; and

•  Advent has calculated a prospective resource of 9.8 TCF (best estimate) for the shale gas areas of the 
Bonaparte permits of EP386 and RL1. The low estimate is 1.9 TCF and the high estimate is 25.4 TCF.

Advent has recognised a considerable potential hydrocarbon resource and is working toward identifying and 
understanding the nature of the unconventional shale gas/condensate play in its 100% owned EP386 and  
RL1 permits.

A recently published independent report has assessed the shale gas potential in Australia’s sedimentary basins, 
and has described a 6 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) resource for the onshore Bonaparte Basin, equal to a 1.09 billion 
barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) resource. 

The report, titled Engineering energy: unconventional gas production, as a study of shale gas in Australia was 
undertaken by the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA). The ACOLA resource assessment made in 
the onshore Bonaparte Basin was assessed from the Milligans Formation gas zone. 

12

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESIn calculating the recoverable gas resource of 6 Tcf (over 1 billion BOE), the ACOLA report uses a figure of only 
120 feet (36 metres) as a shale thickness. 

Advent has previously analysed the well logs of 16 conventional wells drilled in its areas in the Bonaparte Basin. 

The thickness of the shales in these wells within the Milligans Formation varies from 300 metres to 1700 metres 
(984 feet to 5574 feet), and is materially thicker than the ACOLA figure. 

The ACOLA report also used a total organic carbon (TOC) of 1.8% in deriving its assessment of shale source. 
Advent has reprocessed its well logs and observed TOC of up to 5% in a number of wells. Gas flow results 
from the conventional gas wells in Advent’s acreage have been up to 4.5 million standard cubic feet per day 
(MMscf/d).

Whilst encouraging that one of Australia’s premier petroleum producing basins is finally getting the recognition 
it deserves for its rich petroleum potential, the report’s assessment of the onshore Bonaparte Basin’s shale gas 
potential has not had the benefit of using information now available from the reprocessed petrophysical logs 
from the numerous wells in the area. This additional information provides further confidence in their findings and 
impacts positively on the potential estimates of unconventional gas resources in the area.

PEP 11 Oil and Gas Permit

Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd, holds 85% of Petroleum Exploration Permit 
PEP 11 – an exploration permit prospective for natural gas located in the Offshore Sydney Basin. Joint Venture 
partner Bounty Oil & Gas NL holds the remaining 15%.

PEP 11 is a significant offshore exploration area with large scale structuring and potentially multi-Trillion cubic 
feet (Tcf) gas charged Permo-Triassic reservoirs. 

The prospectivity of this proven petroleum basin has been enhanced by the confirmation of the presence of 
apparent ongoing hydrocarbon seeps. Sub-bottom profile data, swath bathymetry, seismic and echosounder 
data collected by Geoscience Australia along the continental slope / permit margin has demonstrated active 
erosional features in conjunction with geophysical indications of gas escape.  

Advent has previously interpreted significant seismically indicated gas features. Key indicators of hydrocarbon 
accumulation features have been interpreted following review of the 2004 seismic data (reprocessed in 2010). 
The seismic features include apparent Hydrocarbon Related Diagenetic Zones (HRDZ), Amplitude Versus Offset 
(AVO) anomalies and potential flat spots.  

Mapped prospects and leads within the Offshore Sydney Basin are generally located less than 50km from  
the Sydney-Wollongong-Newcastle greater metropolitan area. This area has a population of approximately 
5,000,000 people. 

Advent has demonstrated considerable gas generation and migration within PEP11, with the mapped 
prospects and leads highly prospective for the discovery of gas. Advent Energy’s PEP11 project has attracted 
broad industry interest due to the predicted east coast gas shortage. Media has reported NSW industrial 
gas consumers are preparing to shut operations during peak winter gas demand next year as they cannot 
guarantee gas supplies. The looming NSW gas shortage is anticipated to commence through the winter of 2016.  
Furthermore, east coast gas prices are on the rise as the LNG export plants of Gladstone, Queensland, continue 
to come into production resulting in a rapid tripling of gas demand.

Investment in Oil and Gas Exploration Company 

Advent Energy Ltd (“Advent”):

BPH Energy currently holds an interest of 27% in unlisted Australian exploration company Advent Energy 
(“Advent”).  

Advent has assembled a range of hydrocarbon permits which contain near term production opportunities with 
pre-existing infrastructure and exploration upside. 

Advent’s assets include EP386 and RL1 (100%) in the onshore Bonaparte Basin in the north of Western Australia 
and Northern Territory and PEP11 (85%) in the offshore Sydney Basin. 

Advent is investigating a considerable potential shale gas resource within EP386 and RL1. Studies indicate 
significant potential upside in prospective shale gas resources with an estimated (Best Estimate) prospective 
recoverable resource of 9.8 Tcf (Low Estimate is 1.9 Tcf and High Estimate is 25.4 Tcf).

A 2C Contingent Resource of 11.5 Bcf (1C is 0.3 Bcf and 3C is 45.8 Bcf) for the Weaber Gas Field (RL1) has been 
assessed by an independent third party as a component of Advent’s drive to commercialise its 100% owned 
onshore Bonaparte Basin assets. The rapid development of the Kununurra region in northern Western Australia, 
including the Ord Irrigation Expansion Project and numerous resource projects, provides an exceptional 
opportunity for Advent to potentially develop its nearby gas resources for the benefit of the region along with 
Advent and its shareholders.

The Sydney Basin is a proven petroleum basin with excellent potential for the discovery of gas and oil. Advent 
has demonstrated an active hydrocarbon system with seeps reported in the offshore area and sampling 
has indicated the presence of thermogenic hydrocarbon gas. This is considered to occur in basins actively 
generating hydrocarbons and/or that contain excellent migration pathways. Previous drilling has shown that the 
early Permian geological sequence is mature for hydrocarbons.  

Undiscovered prospective recoverable gas resources for structural targets within the PEP11 offshore permit have 
been estimated at 5.7 Tcf (at the Best Estimate level). A Low Estimate of 0.3 Tcf and High Estimate of 67.8 Tcf has 
been assessed by Pangean Resources in 2010. PEP 11 lies adjacent to the most populous region of Australia and 
the major industrial hub and port of Newcastle.

Review of Operations (continued)

Investment in Biotechnology Companies

BPH Energy’s existing Biotechnology investments include its 3.89% interest in Cortical Dynamics Limited; 51.82% 
interest in Diagnostic Array Systems Pty Ltd and its 20% interest in Molecular Discovery Systems Limited. 

Molecular Discovery Systems Limited (”MDSystems”) 

Drug Discovery:

To date, utilising the automated high resolution imaging platform, In-Cell analyzer, MDSystems has developed a 
number of high content drug screens. These screens have led to the identification of several compounds which 
have been shown to interfere with a number of cancer associated cell signalling pathways.  

However, in 2014 after careful consideration of general market conditions and available resources, MDSystems 
made a decision to suspend its early stage drug discovery program. This change was made effective from  
July 2014.

HLs5 Project:

MDSystems will continue working with the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (formerly Western 
Australian Institute of Medical Research) (“Perkins Institute”) to develop and validate HLs5 as a novel tumour 
suppressor gene. A concerted research effort by leading Australian scientists has revealed that HLs5 works 
through multiple pathways that may target cancer as well as a range of other diseases such as Huntington’s, 
Parkinson’s and HIV infection. 

MDSystems has an extensive patent portfolio encapsulating the tumour suppressor gene HLs5 both as a 
potential therapeutic target and also underpinning its involvement in a variety of disease pathways.

Cortical Dynamics Limited (“Cortical Dynamics”): 

Cortical Dynamics is working with BPH Energy and the Swinburne University of Technology (”SUT”) to develop 
and commercialise a unique depth of anaesthesia monitoring system for use during major surgery.  The core 
technology is based on real time analysis of the patients electroencephalograph (EEG) using a proprietary 
algorithm based on a mathematically and physiologically detailed understanding of the brain’s rhythmic  
electrical activity.

The Cortical Dynamics’ team lead by Professor David Liley had previously analysed a comprehensive data set 
obtained from Europe using the Brain Anaesthesia Response (“BAR”) methodology. The detailed results were 
published in the prestigious peer-reviewed international Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010. The paper indicated 
the potential of the BAR’s methodology to separately monitor hypnotic and analgesic state. 

Cortical Dynamics has completed an important clinical trial utilising the BAR monitor. The trial is a significant 
event in the BAR monitor’s development program as it is the first time the complete monitoring system has 
been used in the operating room. A detailed analysis of the clinical trial data indicated that the BAR monitor’s 
Cortical Input (CI) index can discriminate between two doses of fentanyl, a commonly used analgesic agent. 
The study also concluded that the BAR monitor’s CS index was highly correlated with the Bispectral Index 
(BISTM), a generally accepted measure of sedation. The trial’s findings in combination with the results of the 
2010 publication suggest that the BAR monitor may find significant utility in the delivery of optimal and balanced 
surgical anaesthesia.

16

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESDiagnostic Array Systems (“DAS”) 

DAS is working to commercialise BacTrak™, a diagnostic tool that will enable pathology laboratories and the 
emergency departments of hospitals to provide patients with fast and accurate identification of disease causing 
bacteria from a single sputum sample.  The test has important implications for the clinical management of 
infectious diseases by identifying the specific bacteria responsible for a disease.  Utilisation of the novel test is 
intended to provide more information, more quickly, than alternative methods.  It has the potential to accelerate 
therapeutic treatment, lead to a reduction in hospitalisations and help reduce the overuse of antibiotics.

Financial Position 

The consolidated entity has incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2015 of $26,490,513 after a non cash 
impairment loss of $27,959,823 was recorded against the group’s investment in Advent Energy Ltd (2014: loss of 
$1,266,079) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $424,043 (2014: $400,388). The Group has a 
working capital deficit of $1,546,221 (note 18 b) (2014: $1,177,793). 

The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased by $26,207,880 to $20,739,418 at 30 June 2015. This 
decrease has largely resulted from the write down of the group’s investment in associated entities. The 
impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a fair value 
adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, as a result of 
the move from an available for sale investment to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting Standards, 
the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit and loss. 
Following the decline in energy stocks during the period the fair value of Advent, in line with other companies 
decreased. As a result management recorded an impairment loss of $27,959,823. Under the Australian 
Accounting Standards the loss cannot be written off against the reserve and hence has been recognised in 
statement of profit and loss. 

Included in trade creditors and payables is director fee accruals of $947,380 (30 June 2014: $806,902). The 
directors have reviewed their expenditure and commitments for the consolidated entity and have implemented 
methods of costs reduction. The directors as a part of their cash monitoring, have voluntarily suspended cash 
payments for their directors’ fees to conserve cash resources. Directors past and present have agreed to suspend 
payment of fees until the company is financially independent.  

On the 14th November 2014 the group entered into a convertible loan facility for a maximum amount of 
$200,000. On the 18th August 2015 the facility was further extended to a maximum draw down amount of 
$295,000. As at 30 June 2015 the group has used $114,859 giving them access to a further $180,141. 

The group has current financial liabilities of $733,220. The Group has received confirmation from the lender 
that the current financial liabilities of $618,361 (2014: $561,836) will not be called for a period of 12 months from 
the date of this financial report or until such time as the Group it’s financially independent. The directors have 
prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the consolidated entity will have sufficient cash flows via debt and 
equity funding for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report. 

Based on the cash flow forecasts including the extended loan facility, director’s voluntarily suspending cash 
payments for their director fees and deferral of current financial liabilities the directors are satisfied that, the 
going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on a going 
concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the 
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Significant Changes in State Of Affairs

The major activities throughout the period were:

•  On 10 February 2015 BPH Energy announced a Share Purchase Plan. The plan was open to existing 

shareholders who were able to purchase up to $15,000 worth of stock at a 20% discount to the average 
market price of the Company’s shares calculated over the five days prior to and including the record date. 
The plan was closed on 6 March 2015 oversubscribed and successfully raised in excess of $203,000.

•  Cortical is progressing the BAR monitor toward regulatory approval in Australia and Europe. In 2013 Cortical 
lodged an application for Conformity Assessment Certification with the Australian therapeutics and goods 
administration (TGA), a review which comprises of an on-site audit of a company’s manufacturing facility in 
addition to the examination of the device’s clinical evidence. 

The on-site audit showed Cortical to satisfactorily comply with the manufacturing standard established 
under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. Satisfactorily complying with the TGA on-site audit validates 
Cortical’s Quality Management System to a standard that is recognised for the design, development and 
manufacturing of safe medical devices. 

Late 2014 Cortical Dynamics Ltd voluntarily withdrew its Conformity Assessment application after receiving 
feedback from the TGA. Cortical subsequently refined its application to better reflect the Essential Principles 
of the TGA and submitted an amended application in February 2015.  TGA certification will allow Cortical to 
market the BAR monitor within Australia.

•  During period Cortical re-located its manufacturing and research facility to the STC incubator in Scoresby 

Victoria. The re-location to the STC - a facility designed to promote commercialisation and entrepreneurship 
around next-generation innovation - will provide the network and support to further advance the 
development and commercialisation of the BAR monitor.

•  The team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research has begun examining the liver sections of aged 
HLS5 knockout mice for the presence or absence of cancer. This experiment is a precursor to a larger, long-
term experiment which will further define HLS5’s role in liver cancer progression and development.  

•  During the period, Advent Energy’s wholly owned subsidiary, Asset Energy Pty Ltd (Asset), received a  
12 month suspension of its PEP11 permit year 2 work program of a 200 km 2D seismic survey and 
geotechnical studies. 

•  Asset commenced preparation of an Environment Plan for approval by National Offshore Petroleum Safety 
and Environmental Management Authority prior to undertaking the seismic acquisition in the PEP11 permit, 
offshore NSW.

•  Advent Energy continued its commercial discussions, planning and engineering evaluation for development 
of its conventional gas resources in EP386 and RL1, onshore Bonaparte Basin. This includes discussions 
with potential third party infrastructure providers to contribute expertise and resources to the conceptual 
commercialisation of a virtual pipeline gas delivery methodology in the east Kimberley region. This 
commercialisation strategy is aided by the completion of key road infrastructure constructed by the State and 
Federal Governments as part of the East Kimberley Development Package portions of which are within the 
boundaries of EP386.

•  Advent Energy’s wholly owned subsidiary, Onshore Energy Pty Ltd, received a 12 month suspension of its 

EP386 permit year 2 work program of one exploration well.

•  During the period, Advent Energy, along with its Joint Venturers, lodged an application to the Western 
Australian Department of Mines & Petroleum to surrender EP325 in the Exmouth Sub-basin of the  
Carnarvon Basin.

After Balance Date Events 

In August 2015 BPH Energy received confirmation that its convertible loan facility had been extended from 
$200,000 to $295,000. The loan will be provided to BPH for short term working capital if required. 

Environmental Issues

The consolidated Group’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under law of 
the Commonwealth or of a state or territory. 

Future Developments

The entity will continue its investment in energy resources and to assist its investee companies to commercialise 
breakthrough biomedical research developed in universities, medical institutes and hospitals.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for key management personnel of BPH Energy 

D L Breeze – Executive Chairman and Managing Director

H Goh – Non-Executive Director (resigned 29 April 2015) 

T Fontaine – Non-Executive Director (appointed 29 April 2015)

D Ambrosini – Executive Director and Company Secretary (resigned as Director 2 February 2015) 

B Whan – Non-Executive Director (appointed 2 February 2015)

All the parties have held their current position for the whole of the financial year and since the end of the 
financial year unless otherwise stated.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of BPH Energy Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives 
with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific 
long-term incentives as determined by the board and/or shareholders. The remuneration report as contained 
in the 2014 financial accounts was adopted at the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting. The board believes 
the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives 
and directors to run and manage the economic entity, as well as create goal congruence between directors, 
executives and shareholders.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior 
executives of the economic entity is as follows:

•  The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior 

executives, was developed and approved by the board. 

•  All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), 

superannuation, fringe benefits and options.

•  The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive 

performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar 
industries.

The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed biannually with each executive and is based 
predominantly on the amount of their workloads and responsibilities for the company. The board may, however, 
exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to 
recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is 
designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term 
growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The executive directors and executives which receive salaries receive a superannuation guarantee contribution 
required by the government, which is currently 9.50%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 

22

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESShares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those 
shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using an appropriate valuation 
methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, 
commitment and responsibilities. Payments to non-executive directors are based on market practice, duties and 
accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required on payments to non-executive directors. 
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by 
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance 
of the economic entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are 
encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

The board does not have a policy in relation to the limiting of risk to directors and executives in relation to the 
shares and options provided.

Employment contracts of key management personnel

The employment conditions of the managing director and all of the key management personnel are formalised 
in contracts of employment. The employment contracts stipulate a six month resignation period. The Company 
may terminate an employment contract without cause by providing six months written notice or making payment 
in lieu of notice, based on the individual’s annual salary component together with a redundancy payment of 
six months of the individual’s fixed salary component. Termination payments are generally not payable on 
resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. In the instance of serious misconduct the company can terminate 
employment at any time. Any options not exercised before or on the date of termination will not lapse.

The remaining directors are consultants to BPH Energy and each party can terminate their services by written 
notice.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration

The following table shows the gross revenue and the operating result for the last 5 years for the listed entity, as 
well as the share price at the end of the respective financial years. Analysis of the actual figures shows a notable 
increase in the loss in the current year which can be attributed to the write down of the group’s investment 
in associated entities. The impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the 
Group, made a fair value adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy 
Limited, as a result of the move from an available for sale to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting 
Standards, the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESCORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of BPH Energy Limited (“BPH Energy” or “the Company”) 
(“Group”) is responsible for the corporate governance of the economic entity. The 
Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of 
the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities, it has 
established guidelines and accountability as the basis for the administration of 
corporate governance.  

Corporate Governance Disclosures

BPH Energy Limited and the board are committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of 
corporate governance. The board continues to review the framework and practices to ensure they meet the 
interests of shareholders. The company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the Group in  
this statement.

Composition of the Board

The composition of the Board is determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:

• 

• 

• 

the Board should have at least one independent non-executive director;

the Board should have at least one director with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and

the Board shall meet at regular intervals and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are 
made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all 
agenda items.

When a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from 
the service of a new director with particular skills, the Board selects a candidate or panel of candidates with the 
appropriate expertise.

The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate, who must stand for election at the next general meeting 
of shareholders. The Company does not have a formal Nomination Committee.

Remuneration and Nomination Committees

The Company does not have a formal Remuneration or Nomination Committee. The full Board attends to the 
matters normally attended to by a Remuneration Committee and a Nomination committee. Remuneration levels 
are set by the Company in accordance with industry standards to attract suitably qualified and experienced 
Directors and senior executives.

Audit Committee

The Company does not have a formal Audit Committee. The full Board carries out the functions of an Audit 
Committee. Due to the status of the Company and the relatively straight forward accounts of the Company 
anticipated in the financial year, the Directors believe that there presently would be no additional benefits 
obtained by establishing such a committee. The Board follows the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is 
available on request.

29

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Board Responsibilities

As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of 
the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board 
is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to 
adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.

The responsibility for the operation and administration of the economic entity is delegated by the Board to the 
Managing Director. The Board ensures that the Managing Director is appropriately qualified and experienced to 
discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Company’s officers, 
employees, contractors and consultants.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the 
expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, 
including the following:

•  Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;

• 

Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and Board monitoring progress against 
budget; and

•  Procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at 

the Company’s expense.

Monitoring of the Board’s Performance 

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the 
performance of all directors is to be reviewed annually by the chairperson. Directors whose performance is 
unsatisfactory are asked to retire.

30

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015 HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESBest Practice Recommendation   

Outlined below are the 8 Essential Corporate Governance Principles as outlined by the ASX and the 
Corporate Governance Council. The Company has complied with the Corporate Governance Best Practice 
Recommendations except as identified below. 

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

The relationship between the board and senior management is critical to the Group’s long-term success. The 
directors are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Group in both the short and the longer 
term and seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of the Group as a whole. Their 
focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly 
managed.

The responsibilities of the board include:

•  providing strategic guidance to the Group including contributing to the development of and approving the 

corporate strategy;

• 

reviewing and approving business plans, and financial plans including major capital expenditure initiatives;

•  overseeing and monitoring:

-  organisational performance and the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals and objectives; and 

-  progress of major capital expenditures and other significant corporate projects including any acquisitions 

or divestments;

•  monitoring financial performance including approval of the annual and half-year financial reports;

•  appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the Managing Director;

• 

ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the members 
of the senior management team including the CFO and the Company Secretary (Deborah Ambrosini);

•  ensuring there are effective management processes in place and approving major corporate initiatives;

•  enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organization; and

•  overseeing the operation of the Group’s system for compliance and risk management reporting to 

shareholders.

Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy 
initiatives are formally delegated by the board to the Managing Director and senior executives.

31

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value 

The board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its charter. The charter details the board’s 
composition and responsibilities.

The board seeks to ensure that :

•  at any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between directors with experience 

and knowledge of the Group and directors with an external or fresh perspective; and 

• 

the size of the board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision-making. 

Directors’ independence

The board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors’ independence. These state that when 
determining independence, a director must be a non-executive and the board should consider whether the 
director:

• 

• 

is a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a 
substantial shareholder of the company;

is or has been employed in an executive capacity by the company or any other Group member within three 
years before commencing to serve on the board;

•  within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to 
the company or any other Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; 

•  has a material contractual relationship with the company or a controlled entity other than as a director of the 

Group; and

• 

is free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially 
interfere with the director’s independent exercise of their judgement.

Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. A transaction of any 
amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it may impact the shareholders’ understanding of 
the director’s performance.

The board assesses independence each year. To enable this process, the directors must provide all information 
that may be relevant to the assessment.

Board members

Details of the members of the board, their experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office, relationships 
affecting their independence and their independent status are set out in the directors’ report under the heading 
‘’Information on directors’’. At the date of signing the directors’ report, there is one non-executive director 
and two executive directors, two of whom have no relationships adversely affecting independence and so are 
deemed independent under the principles set out above.

•  Mr Breeze has business dealings with the Group as disclosed in note 25 to the financial report. 

32

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESAction taken and reasons if not adopted

Term of office

The company’s Constitution specifies that all non-executive directors must retire from office no later than the 
third annual general meeting (AGM) following their last election. Where eligible, a director may stand for 
re-election, subject to the following limitations: 

•  on attaining the age of 72 years a director will retire, by agreement, at the next AGM and will not seek 

re-election.

Chair and Managing Director 

The Chair is responsible for leading the board, ensuring directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant 
to their role and responsibilities, facilitating board discussions and managing the board’s relationship with 
the company’s senior executives. In accepting the position, the Chair has acknowledged that it will require a 
significant time commitment and has confirmed that other positions will not hinder his effective performance in 
the role of Chair.

The Managing Director is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. 

The Chairman does not satisfy the Independence test as the role of the Chairman and the Managing Director is 
exercised by the same person. The board is of the opinion that the Chairman’s role as Chairman of the Board is 
appropriate given his experience and knowledge of the business.

Committees

The number of meetings of the company’s board of directors and of each board committee held during the year 
ended 30 June 2015, and the number of meetings attended by each director is disclosed on page 26.

It is the company’s practice to allow its executive directors to accept appointments outside the company.  
No appointments of this nature were accepted during the year ended 30 June 2015.

The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Nomination Committee. However, 
matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors.

Notices of meetings for the election of directors comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s best 
practice recommendations.

33

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making 

The company has developed a statement of values which has been fully endorsed by the board and applies to 
all directors and employees. The Statement is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects 
the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in 
the Group’s integrity and to take into account legal obligations and reasonable expectations of the company’s 
stakeholders.

The Statement requires that at all times all company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in 
compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and company policies.

The Company’s share trading policy is set out on the Company’s website.

The purchase and sale of company securities by directors and employees is monitored by the Board.

The Company’s policy regarding diversity is set out on the Company’s website. 

The Company’s diversity policy does not include measurable objectives as the Board believes that the Company 
will not be able to successfully meet these given the size and stage of development of the Company. If the 
Company’s activities increase in size, nature and scope in the future, the suitable measurable objectives will be 
agreed and put into place. Notwithstanding this, the Company strives to provide the best possible opportunities 
for current and prospective employees of all backgrounds in such a manner that best adds to overall shareholder 
value and which reflects the values, principles and spirit of the Company’s Diversity Policy. 

The company is committed to Diversity and Equal Opportunity within its workforce placing particular focus on 
the level of gender diversity at senior levels of the organisation. The company ensures this is achieved by :

•  ensuring recruitment and selection practices enable the availability of a diverse candidate pool for 

appointments at senior levels;

•  development of high potential women;

• 

implementation of flexible working arrangements; and 

•  ensuring remuneration practices are free from gender bias. 

At conclusion of the reporting year, BPH Energy’s did not have any female directors. 

34

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCESAction taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

Adopted except as follows:-

The Company does not have a separate Audit Committee. The full Board carries out the functions of an Audit 
Committee. The Board has the authority, within the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any information it 
requires from any employee or external party. 

Due to the status of the Company and the relatively straight forward accounts of the Company, the Directors at 
the moment can see no additional benefits to be obtained by establishing such a committee. 

The Board follows the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on request.

External auditors

The Board’s policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The 
performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services 
are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and 
tender costs. Nexia was appointed as the external auditor in 2012. It is the Corporation Act’s policy to rotate 
audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years. A partner should not be re-assigned 
to a listed entity audit engagement if this equates to the partner serving in this role for more than 5 out of 7 
successive years.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is 
provided in the directors’ report and in note 5 to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditors 
to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board.

The external auditor will attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholders’ questions 
about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report. The Company is not of a 
size at the moment that justifies having an internal audit division.

35

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 5&6: Make timely and balanced disclosures and respect the rights of shareholders 
Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication 

The company has policies and procedures on information disclosure that focus on continuous disclosure of any 
information concerning the Group that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price 
of the company’s securities. These policies and procedures also include the arrangements the company has in 
place to promote communication with shareholders and encourage effective participation at general meetings. 

The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. 
This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the 
ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, 
shareholders, the media and the public.

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. 
When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, the material used in the presentation is released 
to the ASX and posted on the company’s web site. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether 
any price sensitive information has been inadvertently disclosed and, if so, this information is also immediately 
released to the market.

All shareholders receive a copy of the company’s annual and half-yearly reports. In addition, the company seeks 
to provide opportunities for shareholders to participate through electronic means. Recent initiatives to facilitate 
this include making all company announcements, media briefings, details of company meetings, and financial 
reports available on the company’s website.

36

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

The board and senior executives are responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk 
management, compliance and internal control systems. In summary, the company policies are designed to 
ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputational and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and 
efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group’s business objectives.

Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation 
structure with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. The board actively promotes a 
culture of quality and integrity.

The responsibility for the operation and administration of the economic entity is delegated by the board to the 
Managing Director. The board ensures that the Managing Director is appropriately qualified and experienced to 
discharge his responsibilities, and has in place procedures to assess the performance for the Company’s officers, 
employees, contractors and consultants. The board receives monthly updates as to the effectiveness of the 
company’s management of material risks that may impede meeting business objectives.

The board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the 
expectations and risks identified by the Board. It has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved, 
including the following:

•  Board approval of a strategic plan, designed to meet shareholder needs and manage business risk;

• 

Implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and board monitoring progress against 
budget; and

•  Procedures to allow directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at 

the Company’s expense.

Control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, project appraisal, IT security, compliance 
and other risk management issues. The Managing Director is required to ensure that appropriate controls are in 
place to effectively manage the identified risks. This is monitored by the board on a monthly basis.

The environment

Information on compliance with significant environmental regulations is set out in the directors’ report.

Corporate reporting 

The Managing Director and CFO have made the following certifications to the board:

• 

• 

• 

that the company’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of 
the financial condition and operational results of the company and Group and are in accordance with relevant 
accounting standards;

that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and 
control which implements the policies adopted by the board; and 

that the company’s risk management and internal compliance and control is operating efficiently and 
effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

37

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Action taken and reasons if not adopted

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Company is not of a size at the moment that justifies having a separate Remuneration Committee. However, 
matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the board.

The board makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for 
executive directors, other senior executives and non-executive directors. The board also reviews gender pay 
equity on an annual basis to ensure equality. 

Each member of the senior executive team signs a formal employment contract at the time of their appointment 
covering a range of matters including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any entitlements on termination. 
The standard contract refers to a specific formal job description. 

Further information on directors’ and executives’ remuneration, including principles used to determine 
remuneration, is set out in the directors’ report under the heading ‘’Remuneration report’’. In accordance with 
Group policy, participants in equity-based remuneration plans are not permitted to enter into any transactions 
that would limit the economic risk of options or other unvested entitlements. 

The board with the Managing Director also assumes responsibility for overseeing management succession 
planning, including the implementation of appropriate executive development programmes and ensuring 
adequate arrangements are in place, so that appropriate candidates are recruited for later promotion to senior 
positions.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

Corporate Information 

The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and the notes of BPH Energy Limited and its 
controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’). 

BPH Energy Limited is a company incorporated and domiciled in Australia and listed on the Australian Securities 
Exchange. 

The financial report was authorised for issue on 27th August 2015 by the board of directors.

Basis of Preparation  

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board 
(“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. BPH Energy Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the 
financial statements.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a 
financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which 
they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. 
They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where 
stated below.

Compliance with IFRS 

The consolidated financial statements of BPH Energy Limited Group comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Financial Position 

The consolidated entity has incurred losses for the year ended 30 June 2015 of $26,490,513 after a non cash 
impairment loss of $27,959,823 was recorded against the group’s investment in Advent Energy Ltd (2014: losses 
of $1,266,079) and has a net cash outflow from operating activities of $424,043 (2014: $400,388). The Group has a 
working capital deficit of $1,546,221 (See note 18 b) (2014: $1,177,793). 

The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased by $26,207,880 to $20,739,418 at 30 June 2015. This 
decrease has largely resulted from the write down of the group’s investment in associated entities. The 
impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a fair value 
adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, as a result of the 
move from an available for sale to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the impairment 
loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in the profit and loss. Following the 
decline in energy stocks during the period the fair value of Advent, in line with other companies decreased. As a 
result management recorded an impairment loss of $27,959,823. Under the Australian Accounting Standards the 
loss cannot be written off against the reserve and hence has been recognised in statement of profit and loss. 

Included in trade creditors and payables is director fee accruals of $947,380 (30 June 2014: $806,902). The 
directors have reviewed their expenditure and commitments for the consolidated entity and have implemented 
methods of costs reduction. The directors as a part of their cash monitoring, have voluntarily suspended cash 
payments for their directors’ fees to conserve cash resources. Directors past and present have agreed to suspend 
payment of fees until the company is financially independent.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial Position (continued)

On the 14th November 2014 the group entered into a convertible loan facility for a maximum amount of 
$200,000. On the 18th August 2015 the facility was further extended to a maximum draw down amount of 
$295,000. As at 30 June 2015 the group has used $114,859 giving them access to a further $181,141. 

The group has current financial liabilities of $733,220 The Group has received confirmation from the lender that 
the current financial liabilities of $618,361 (2014: $561,836) will not be called for a period of 12 months from 
the date of this financial report or until such time as the Group it’s financially independent. The directors have 
prepared cash flow forecasts that indicate that the consolidated entity will have sufficient cash flows via debt and 
equity funding for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report. 

Based on the cash flow forecasts including the extended loan facility, directors voluntarily suspending cash 
payments for their director fees and deferral of current financial liabilities the directors are satisfied that, the 
going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The financial report has therefore been prepared on a going 
concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the 
settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

Accounting Policies

(a) 

Principles of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group 
controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement 
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the 
entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They 
are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.  A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 
to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the 
consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up 
to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies 
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an 
impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where 
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated 
income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance 
sheet respectively.

44

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCES 
ii) Changes in ownership interests

Changes in the Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as 
equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are 
adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the 
amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or 
received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference 
between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained 
interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the 
subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred 
directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities 
were disposed of. The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when 
control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under 
AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial 
recognition of an investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity.

(b) 

Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-
assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are 
substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method in respect of 
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts 
in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an 
asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable 
profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income 
except where it relates to items that may be recognised directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax 
is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be 
available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax credits can be 
utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax 
assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax 
assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends 
either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the 
assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the 
economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and 
comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

BPH Energy Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax 
consolidated Group under the tax consolidation regime. The Group notified the Australian Taxation 
Office on 30 June 2006 that it had formed an income tax consolidated Group to apply from 30 June 2006. 
The tax consolidated Group has entered a tax funding agreement whereby each company in the Group 
contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of 
the tax consolidated Group.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Tax (continued) 

Tax incentives

The company may be entitled to claim special tax deductions in relation to qualifying expenditure. As the 
company is not in a position to recognise current income tax payable or current tax expense, a refundable 
tax offset will be received in cash and recognised as rebate revenue in the period the underlying 
expenses have been incurred.

(c) 

Property, Plant & Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess 
of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the 
expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. 
The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable 
amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity includes the cost of materials, direct 
labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow 
to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are 
charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset 
Plant and equipment 

Depreciation Rate
15 - 33 %

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of 
financial position date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains and losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included 
in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(d) 

Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for 
financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not 
classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair 
value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified 
and measured as set out below. 

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset 
is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement 
in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related 
obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the 
financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, 
including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for 
the purpose of profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for cash flow hedging purposes, or 
designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group 
of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a 
documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising 
from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 

(ii)  Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not 
quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method.

(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as 
such or that are not classified in any of the other categories.

Listed shares held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at 
fair value. The Group also has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but 
that are also classified as AFS financial assets and stated at fair value (because the directors consider that 
fair value can be reliably measured). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in 
other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception 
of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains 
and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss.

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Financial Instruments (continued)

Classification and Subsequent Measurement (continued)

(v)  Financial Liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method.

Fair value 

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are 
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, 
reference to similar instruments and valuation models using non-market inputs prepared by independent 
experts.

Impairment 

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument 
has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale equity financial instruments, a significant or prolonged 
decline in the value of the instrument below cost is considered to determine whether an impairment 
has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income. 

Assets carried at amortised cost

For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s 
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that 
have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying 
amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-
to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is 
the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the group may 
measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related 
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the 
debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit  
or loss.

Assets classified as available-for-sale

If there is objective evidence of impairment for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – 
measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment 
loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised 
in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on equity instruments that were recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through 
profit or loss in a subsequent period.

If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases in a subsequent period and 
the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in 
profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

48

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCES 
 
 
 
 
(e) 

Impairment of Assets

The group reviews non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting 
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the 
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful 
lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair 
value less costs to sell. 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 the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be 
tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows 
from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets 
(the “cash-generating unit” or “CGU”). An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an 
asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or 
loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount 
of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the 
unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. 

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses 
recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has 
decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates 
used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the 
asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of 
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(f) 

Investments in Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control, 
generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in 
associates are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements using the cost method and in the 
consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised 
at cost. The equity method of accounting recognises the Group’s share of post-acquisition reserves of its 
associates.

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, 
and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. 
The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.

Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, while in the 
consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s 
share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other 
unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred 
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

(f) 

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investments in Associates (continued)

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the 
Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides 
evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed 
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Where an investment is 
classified as a financial asset in accordance with AASB 139, at the date significant influence is achieved, 
the fair value of the investment needs to be assessed. Any fair value gains are recognised in accordance 
with the treatment the classification the financial asset as required by AASB 139.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised 
as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s 
share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of 
acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(g) 

Intangibles

Research 

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. 

Patents and Trademarks 

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite 
life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and 
trademarks are amortised over their useful life of 10 years.

(h) 

Employee Benefits 

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by 
employees to balance date. Short term employee benefits have been measured at the amounts expected 
to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Long term employee benefits have been 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits using 
the corporate bond rate.

(i) 

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past 
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be 
reliably measured.

(j) 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly 
liquid investments, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in 
current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

50

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCES 
 
(k) 

Revenue and Other Income

Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group 
and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a timely basis, by 
reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. 

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the 
contract. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(l) 

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount 
of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(m) 

Trade and other payables 

Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or 
not billed to the consolidated entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days.  

(n) 

Share based payments

The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognized as an 
employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant 
date and recognized over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the 
options. 

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an appropriate option pricing model 
that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, 
the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the 
expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option. 

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions 
(for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in 
assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. At each statement of financial 
position date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to vest. The 
employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. Upon 
the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is 
transferred to share capital.  

(o) 

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief 
operating decision maker, the directors (see Note 23).

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members, adjusted to 
exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to 
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive 
potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would 
have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(q) 

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. 

Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and 
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key judgements — Provision for Impairment of Loans Receivables

Included in the accounts of the Consolidated entity are amounts from current loan receivables of $97,625 
(2014: $97,625) and non-current loan receivables of $2,108,025 (2014: $2,995,145). During the period 
the Company raised a provision against its unsecured loans with Cortical Dynamics Ltd and Molecular 
Discovery Systems Ltd resulting in a non-cash expense of $1,084,370. This provision can be reversed upon 
payment of the loans. 

Key Judgments — Impairment of Intangible Assets

No impairment has been recognised in respect of intangible assets for the year ended 30 June 2015 
(2014: $nil).  The directors believe that the carrying value of all intangibles is appropriate after reviewing 
the status of each entity’s developments. The directors are confident that the products will provide the 
necessary returns to the Company.

Key Judgments — Provision for impairment of Investments in Associates 

The directors have obtained an independent expert’s valuation report at year end which supports the 
recoverable amount of the investments in associates of $20,077,753 (2014: $48,640,707). 

Investment in Molecular Discovery Systems

The recoverable amount of the investment in Molecular Discovery Systems Limited was greater than the 
carrying amount of the investment and hence no impairment loss was recognised (2014: $736,965) – refer 
to note 13. 

Investment in Advent Energy Ltd

The recoverable amount of the investment in Advent Energy Limited was considered to be less than the 
carrying amount of the investment and hence an impairment loss of $27,959,823 was recognised (2014 
$nil) – refer to note 13.

Application of New and Revised Accounting Standards 

New and amended standards adopted in the current year

The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual 
reporting period commencing 1 July 2014:

•  AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-FinancialAssets

•  AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and 

Continuation of Hedge Accounting

• 

Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies

•  AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is 
not likely to affect future periods.

New standards not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 
June 2015 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group’s assessment of 
the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial 
liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting. In December 2014, the AASB made further 
changes to the classification and measurement rules and also introduced a new impairment model. These 
latest amendments now complete the new financial instruments standard. 

AASB 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Based on the 
transitional provisions in the completed IFRS 9, early adoption in phases was only permitted for annual 
reporting periods beginning before 1 February 2015. After that date, the new rules must be adopted in 
their entirety.

The standard is not expected to have a material impact on the group’s financial instruments.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers 
contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard 
is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a 
customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards. The standard 
permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise 
transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (eg 1 July 2017), i.e. without 
restating the comparative period. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not 
completed as of the date of initial application.

AASB 15 is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2017. Management is 
currently assessing the impact of the new rules. At this stage, the group is not able to estimate the impact 
of the new rules on the group’s financial statements. The group will make more detailed assessments of 
the impact over the next twelve months.

Investments accounted for using the equity method (continued) 

The impairment loss has been recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In 2011 the Group, made a 
fair value adjustment of $21,450,000 ($15,015,000 net of tax) to the investment in Advent Energy Limited, 
as a result of the move from an available for sale to equity accounting. Under Australian Accounting 
Standards, the impairment loss cannot be recognised against the reserve and must be recognised in 
the profit and loss. Following the decline of the price of oil and oil equivalents during the period the fair 
value of Advent, in line with other companies. As a result management recorded an impairment loss of 
$27,959,823. Under the Australian Accounting Standards the loss cannot be written off against the reserve 
and hence has been recognised in statement of profit and loss.

Based on a valuation prepared by an independent expert and recent commercial discussions, 
management have made an assessment and believe that there is a material change in the fair value of 
their investments at reporting date.

Valuation processes

The directors informally assess the fair value of its investments biannually. A formal assessment is 
performed as necessary by obtaining an external independent valuation report. The fair value of the 
Group’s investment in Advent Energy Ltd as at 30 June 2015 has been supported by a valuation report 
prepared at 30 June 2015 by an independent expert valuer. The expert holds appropriate qualifications 
and recent experience in the valuation of investments of this nature. The fair value was determined using 
the expected monetary value and enterprise value valuation methods; valuation estimations have been 
undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Valmin Code (2005) for the technical assessment 
and valuation of mineral and petroleum assets. 

Valuation inputs and relationships to fair value

The consolidated group’s associate Advent Energy Ltd has current commitments for its exploration 
permits of $4,647,500 over the next 12 months. To assist in meeting these commitments, the group is 
continually seeking and reviewing potential sources of both equity and debt funding. Advent is currently 
in negotiations with a number of parties on the terms of investment and management has confidence 
that a suitable outcome will be achieved however there is no certainty at this stage that those discussions 
will result in further funding being made available.

To manage the exploration commitments (which include Asset Energy completing 200km of 2D seismic 
within the PEP 11 area by 12 August 2015) and in connection with the ongoing commercial negotiations, 
Advent Energy’s wholly owned subsidiary, Asset Energy, lodged an application in respect of Petroleum 
Exploration Permit 11 (“PEP11”) with the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (“NOPTA”) 
prior to 30 June 2015 to vary a condition of PEP11, suspend the years 2 and 3 work commitments and 
request a subsequent extension of the PEP11 permit term. NOPTA is currently assessing the application.  

Asset Energy has invested over $25 million in the PEP11 title in recent history, and, along with its JV 
partner Bounty Oil and Gas NL, is committed to continuing to explore for and ultimately exploit any 
petroleum accumulations which may be identified in this title area.

In addition to the 2D seismic commitment, Advent Energy is committed to drill an exploration well by the 
end of March 2016 for EP 386. These 2 commitments comprise the significant balance of $4,647,500.

The application to vary a condition of the title and suspend the years 2 and 3 work commitments was 
prepared following discussions with NOPTA, however a decision has not been received by the Company 
from NOPTA.

The above conditions indicate the uncertainty that may affect the ability of the group to realise the 
carrying value of the Groups’ investment in Advent Energy Limited n the ordinary course of business.

22.  Financial Risk Management

(a) 

Financial Risk Management  

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, investments, accounts receivable 
and payable, and loans to and from subsidiaries. The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments 
is to raise finance for Group operations policies.

i. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, 
credit risk and equity price risk.  

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is managed with a mixture of fixed and floating rate financial assets. The group’s financial 
liabilities are currently not exposed to interest rate risk as the group has no interest bearing financial 
liabilities.  

Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast 
and actual cash flows. 

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance 
date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those 
assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The 
directors obtained an independent expert’s valuation report at year end which supports the recoverable 
amount of loan receivables. The recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value of the loans and hence 
no impairment loss was recognised.   

Foreign currency risk

The Group is not exposed to any material risks in relation to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

The economic entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will 
fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates

ii.  Fair Values

The fair values of:

•  Term receivables are determined by discounting the cash flows, at the market interest rates of similar 

securities, to their present value.

•  Other loans and amounts due are determined by discounting the cash flows, at market interest rates 

of similar borrowings to their present value.

•  For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the fair value has been based 

on valuation techniques incorporating non-market data prepared by independent valuers.

 No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

The Group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date.  
This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result 
from a change in these risks.

The effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining 
constant would be as follows:

iv. Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and borrowing facilities, by 
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial 
assets and liabilities.

Liquidity is the risk that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with 
its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial 
recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is 
observable.

•  Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets 

for identical assets or liabilities.

•  Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included 

within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. 
derived from prices).

•  Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for 

the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between and of the levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year.

Based on valuations prepared by independent experts, management have made an assessment and 
believe that there is no material change in the fair value of their investments at reporting date

The fair value of the Group’s investment in Cortical Dynamics as at 30 June 2015 has been arrived at on 
the basis of a valuation performed on 30 June 2014 by an independent expert valuer to the company.  
The valuer holds the appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the valuation of investments 
of this nature. The fair value was determined using the relative valuation methodology. The approach 
considers the value of broadly comparable listed entities which are at a similar stage of biotechnology 
product life cycle to Cortical Dynamics. The valuation supported the carrying value of BPH’s AFS 
investment in the company. 

74

bph energy  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2015HEALTHTECHNOLOGY   RESOURCES23.  Operating Segment 

Operating segments have been identified on the basis of internal reports of the Company that are 
regularly reviewed by  the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments 
and to assess their performance. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of 
Directors. On a regular basis, the board receives financial information on the consolidated entity on a basis 
similar to the financial statements presented in the financial report, to manage and allocate their resources. 

The consolidated entity’s only operating segment is investments. The consolidated entity holds 
investments in two principal industries and these are biotechnology, and oil and gas exploration and 
development, as disclosed in Note 10 (c) and Note 13. 

24.  Events after the Statement of financial position Date

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Independent auditor’s report to the members  
of BPH Energy Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of BPH Energy Limited, which comprises the consolidated 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash 
flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and 
the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the 
year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in 
accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes 
establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial 
report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate 
accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, 
the directors also state that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with 
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit 
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical 
requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk 
assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 
financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the 
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the 
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. 
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of BPH Energy Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this 
auditor’s report.
