Chairman's letter 

Over the last year we have continued to focus on building capabilities within our investee companies that will ultimately assist 
us  in  transforming  the  group  into  a  high  growth  and  sustainable  business.  We  have  remained  disciplined  in  the  way  that  we 
operate our investee companies, and at the same time remained very active in scoping and evaluating new and transformative 
opportunities.  We  are  particularly  interested  in  potential  acquisitions  that  we  believe  could  add  significantly  to  our  scale  and 
long-term  growth prospects. The Board maintains a high level of confidence in the company's ability  to identify, fund and to 
complete such investments, all the while ensuring that we operate within the prescribed rules of a Pooled Development Fund.  

Our cash position at 30 June 2018 was $2.65 million and our investment plan remains fully compliant with the requirements of 
being a registered Pooled Development Fund (PDF). The Board recognises the tremendous potential value that the PDF status 
confers and will continue to take all reasonable steps to maintain this. 

In  April  we  divested  our  interests  in  the  advisory  firm  Biointelect,  given  that  this  investment  did  not  deliver  the  anticipated 
outcomes and returns to the group. This re-enforced our view that shareholders’ interests are better served by keeping a clear 
focus on the in-licensing and product distribution elements of our business. 

In November we changed the company name to BTC health in order to more effectively communicate the strategic intent of the 
group and better position the  business as a credible provider of innovative pharmaceutical products and  medical devices. We 
believe  that  our  growth  strategy  will  in  time  benefit  from  the  combined  factors  of  an  ageing  population,  broader  access  to 
healthcare and a constant stream of new medical technologies that are being brought to market.  

Our Bio101 business which provides accounting, tax and company administration services continued to grow its client base and 
service offering during the  year. I am pleased to report that the business consistently performed ahead of expectations and as 
such we increased the fair value of this investment by $144,900. We expect this positive trend will continue over the  next 12 
months. 

BioImpact  is  our  investee  company  which  has  the  specific  purpose  of  acquiring  intellectual  property  rights  to  novel 
pharmaceutical  products  and medical  devices  from  a  range  of  third  parties  around  the  world.  It  has  successfully  acquired  the 
distribution  rights  for  three  products  from  RLS  Global  in  Sweden  and  more  recently  it  has  established  a  strong  pipeline  of 
potential new product opportunities, some of which are presently under evaluation and/or negotiation. 

BTC Speciality Health was established during the year as the operating entity which is responsible for the commercialisation of 
our in-licensed products. It now has third party logistics and wholesaling arrangements in place and in June launched two dental 
products,  CariSolv  and  PeriSolv  into  the  Victorian  market.  The  team  will  be  working  towards  national  distribution  for  these 
products during the current financial year, as well as seeking TGA approval for the novel wound care product ChloraSolv. 

We  are  optimistic  about  the  company's  prospects  for  the  year  ahead  and  we  look  forward  to  providing  relevant  updates  to 
shareholders as appropriate. On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank you for your continued support of BTC health. 

Dr. Richard S Treagus 
Chairman

Directors’ Report 

The directors of BTC health Limited present their report on the audited financial statements of BTC health Limited (formerly 
Biotech Capital Limited) for the year ended 30 June 2018. 

Directors 

The following persons were directors of BTC health Limited (“the Company”) during the whole of the financial year and up to 
the date of this report, unless stated otherwise: 

Richard Spencer Treagus  
Peter John Jones  
Bruce Alan Hancox (resigned 31 May 2018) 
Jonathan Charles Pilcher  
Jennifer Rachel Herz (resigned 20 April 2018) 

Principal Activities 

BTC health is a Pooled Development Fund, registered under the Pooled Development Funds Act 1992.  The Company continues 
to actively seek investment opportunities in entities operating in the biotechnology / life-science sectors. 

Review of Operations and Results 

BTC health invested in one new investee company during the financial year being BTC Speciality Health Pty Ltd.  BTC health 
invested a total of $175,100 in a combination of share capital and loans to BTC Speciality Health Pty Ltd. BTC Speciality Health 
commercialises and distributes the BTC health group’s in-licenced pharmaceuticals and medical devices in the Asia/Pacific 
region. BTC health Limited changed its company name from Biotech Capital Limited in November 2017. 

BTC health Limited disposed of its fully owned investment in Biointelect Pty Ltd for $700,000 in April 2018 to a related party of 
Jennifer Herz. The transaction was deemed to be fair and reasonable by an independent expert and was approved at an 
extraordinary meeting of shareholders. The sale of Biointelect Pty Ltd for $700,000 resulted in an impairment loss of $721,815 
and a loan write-off of $280,000.  

Revenue from continuing operations for the year increased to $62,937 (2017: $28,496). Operating loss after income tax increased 
to $1,467,834 (2017: $516,527), mainly due to the loss on sale of Biointelect, partially offset by an increase of $144,900 in the 
fair value recorded for 100% owned investment Bio101group Pty Ltd. 

Net cash used in operating activities was $555,524 (2017: 388,366).  Net cash generated by investing activities was $118,940 
with the proceeds from sale of Biointelect partly offset by increases in loans to investee companies.  Net cash generated by 
financing activities was nil, compared with $2,324,128 in the prior year due to the capital raise in February 2017. At the annual 
general meeting of shareholders in November 2017, shareholders approved the issue to Directors, Officers and related parties the 
shares that were taken up as a part of the February 2017 capital raise.  

Financial Position 

At 30 June 2018, the company’s net assets were $2,973,002 compared with $3,978,873 at 30 June 2017. Net assets fell in the 
year mainly due to the loss on sale of Biointelect. Cash reserves as at 30 June 2018 were $2,649,629, compared with $3,086,213 
at 30 June 2017. The net tangible asset backing per share as at 30 June 2018 equated to 2.27 cents (2017: 3.13 cents). 

Dividends 

No dividends have been declared in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2018. (2017: nil) 

Business Strategies and Future Prospects 

BTC  health’s  investee  company  Bio101  provides  a  range  of  professional  services  to  high-growth  biotech,  medtech  and 
pharmaceutical  companies.  BioImpact will  continue  to  invest  in  and  hold  intellectual  property  rights  for  pharmaceuticals  and 
medical devices and BTC Speciality Health will continue to commercialise and distribute the BTC health group’s in-licenced 
pharmaceuticals and medical devices in the Asia/Pacific region.  

BTC  health  is  committed  to  supporting  its  investee  companies’  business  objectives  in  order  that  they  grow  their  respective 
service  offerings,  client  base,  revenues  and  ultimately  their  profitability.  BTC  health  will  carefully  evaluate  additional 
investment opportunities in the life sciences sector, more specifically, technologies and companies that in the Board’s view will 
benefit from greater access to management expertise and development capital.

Share based payments 

Jennifer Herz received share-based payments in the form of unlisted options during 2017. As detailed in note 10, share options 
awarded to Jennifer and Karl Herz were forfeited as at 20 April 2018 resulting in the reversal of share-based payment expense 
recognised in prior years. 

No other director of the Company received any share-based payments as part of their remuneration during the financial year 
ended 30 June 2017 or 2018. 

Remuneration Practices 

No director appointed during the period received a payment as part of his or her consideration for agreeing to hold the position. 
The remuneration of each director has been established on the basis of a flat fee, inclusive of any superannuation benefit.  Thus, 
there is no direct link between performance and the level of remuneration.

Transactions with directors and director related entities 

On 20 April 2018, Jennifer Herz’s related party the Herz Family Trust purchased 100% of the share capital of Biointelect Pty 
Ltd which was an investment wholly owned by BTC health. Biointelect was sold for cash consideration of $700,000.  

In determining the sale price, the BTC health Board reviewed the financial performance of the Biointelect business, made a 
reasonable estimation of future returns on capital employed and considered the realisable value of the investment. The BTC 
board obtained an independent expert report for the transaction which was distributed to shareholders. The related party 
transaction was considered both fair and reasonable by an independent valuer and was approved at an extraordinary meeting of 
shareholders. 

The terms and conditions of other transactions with directors and their director related entities were no more favourable than 
those available or which might reasonably be expected to be available, on similar transactions to non-director entities on an 
arm’s length basis.

Corporate Governance Statement 

BTC health’s board of directors (“Board”) aims to ensure  that the company operates  with a corporate governance framework 
and  practices  that  promote  an  appropriate  governance  culture  throughout  the  organisation  and  that  are  relevant,  practical  and 
cost-effective for the current size and stage of development of the business.  The Board will continue to review the framework 
and practices as the business size and complexity changes. The corporate governance statement was adopted 21 August 2018. 

A description of the  framework and practices is set out below, laid out under the structure of the  ASX  Listing  Rules  and the 
Corporate Governance Principles (the “Principles”) and Recommendations (the “Recommendations”) 3rd Edition issued by the 
ASX Corporate Governance Council in March 2014. 

Principle 1.  

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight: 

The Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the company. The Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to 
the shareholders. The Board seeks to identify the expectations of shareholders as well as other regulatory and ethical 
expectations and obligations. The Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring 
mechanisms are in place to manage those risks adequately. In addition, the Board sets the overall strategic goals and objectives, 
and monitors achievement of goals. 

The Board has delegated the responsibility for the operation and administration of the company to the Executive Chairman and 
the Company Secretary. The Board will ensure that management is appropriately qualified to discharge its responsibilities.  

The Board will ensure management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the 
Board through a number of mechanisms including the following: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

establishment of the overall strategic direction and leadership of the company; 

approving and monitoring the implementation by management of the company’s strategic plan to achieve those 
objectives; 

reviewing performance against its stated objectives, by receiving regular management reports on business situation, 
opportunities and risks; 

monitoring and review of the companies controls and systems including those concerned with regulatory matters to 
ensure statutory compliance and the highest ethical standards; and 

review and adoption of budgets and forecasts and monitoring the results against stated targets. 

The Board sets the corporate strategy and financial targets with the aim of creating long-term value for shareholders. 

In accordance with Recommendation 1.2, the Board undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a new director, or putting 
forward to shareholders a candidate for election and provides shareholders with all material information in its possession 
relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

The  company  has  written  agreements  with  each  director  of  the  company  in  accordance  with  Recommendation  1.3.    The 
Company  Secretary  is  accountable  directly  to  the  Board  on  all  matters  to  do  with  the  proper  functioning  of  the  Board,  in 
accordance with Recommendation 1.4. 

At this stage of the company’s development, considering the very small size of the workforce, the Board has chosen not to 
establish a formal diversity policy or formal objectives for gender diversity, as described in Recommendation 1.5.  The company 
does not discriminate on the basis of age, ethnicity or gender and when a position becomes vacant the company seeks to employ 
the best candidate available for the position.  Currently all three directors are male.     

Given  the  size  and  nature  of  the  company  a  formal  process  for  evaluating  the  performance  of  the  Board  and  the  directors  in 
accordance with Recommendation 1.6 has not been developed.  The company currently has no senior executives other than the 
Chairman and therefore does not have a process for evaluating their performance, as described in Recommendation 1.7. 

Principle 2. 

Structure the Board to add value 

The  Board  has  not  considered  it  necessary  or  value-adding  to  establish  a  separate  Nomination  Committee  (Recommendation 
2.1).  The selection, appointment and retirement of directors is considered by the full Board, within the framework of the skills 
required.  The Board may also engage an external consultant where appropriate to identify and assess suitable candidates who 
meet the Board’s specifications.  The composition of the board is discussed regularly and each director may propose changes for 
discussion.

The company does not currently have a skills matrix setting out the mix of skills that the Board seeks to achieve in its 
membership (recommendation 2.2), due to the current structure and size of the company. 

The  current  Board  consists  of  2  non-executive  directors  and  1  executive  director.    The  skills  and  experience  of  each  of  the 
directors  are  detailed  in  the  Directors’  Report.  Each  of  the  current  directors  has  held  office  continuously  since  their  date  of 
appointment and these details are: 

Current Directors 
R S Treagus appointed 4 August 2014* 
P J Jones appointed 4 August 2014* 
J C Pilcher appointed 1 September 2015 (independent director) 

* R S Treagus and P J Jones are not considered to be independent as they are a related person to substantial shareholders in BTC 
health. 

The directors believe that the current structure, small size and membership profile of the Board provides the maximum value to 
the business at this stage of its development, notwithstanding that they do not follow Recommendations 2.4 and 2.5.  The Board 
currently does not have a majority of independent directors (Recommendation 2.4) and the chair is not independent 
(Recommendation 2.5).  The Board will continue to assess whether this is the optimum membership and structure for the 
business as it grows and develops. 

The company currently does not have a formal program for inducting new directors (Recommendation 2.6), due to the current 
structure and size of the company.   

Principle 3. 

Promote ethical and responsible decision-making 

The Board established a formal Code of Conduct on 19 of October 2016, which requires that Board members and executives: 

•  will act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the whole company 

• 

• 

owe a fiduciary duty to the company as a whole 

have a duty to use due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office and exercising the powers attached to that 
office 

•  will undertake diligent analysis of all proposals placed before the Board 

•  will act with a level of skill expected from Directors and key executives of a publicly listed company 

•  will use the powers of office for a proper purpose, in the best interests of the company as a whole 

•  will demonstrate commercial reasonableness in decision-making 

•  will not make improper use of information acquired as Directors and key executives 

•  will not disclose non-public information except where disclosure is authorised or legally mandated 

•  will keep confidential information received in the course of the exercise of their duties and such information remains 
the property of the company from which it was obtained and it is improper to disclose it, or allow it to be disclosed, 
unless that disclosure has been authorised by the person from whom the information is provided, or required by law 

•  will not take improper advantage of the position of Director or use the position for personal gain or to compete with the 

company 

•  will not take advantage of company property or use such property for personal gain or to compete with the company 

•  will protect and ensure the efficient use of the company’s assets for legitimate business purposes 

•  will not allow personal interests, or the interest of any associated person, to conflict with the interests of the company 

• 

have an obligation to be independent in judgement and actions and Directors will take all reasonable steps to be 
satisfied as to the soundness of all decisions of the Board 

•  will make reasonable enquiries to ensure that the company is operating efficiently, effectively and legally, towards 

achieving its goals 

•  will not engage in conduct likely to bring discredit upon the company 

10 

 
 
 
 
 
BTC health Limited 

•  will encourage fair dealing by all employees with the company’s customers, suppliers, competitors and other 

employees 

•  will encourage the reporting of unlawful/unethical behaviour and actively promote ethical behaviour and protection for 

those who report violations in good faith  

•  will give their specific expertise generously to the company 

• 

have an obligation, at all times, to comply with the spirit, as well as the letter of the law and with the principles of this 
Code of Conduct 

Principle 4. 

Safeguard integrity in financial reporting 

With regards to Recommendation 4.1, The Board has established an Audit Committee, which currently consists of two non-
executive directors, Jon Pilcher and Peter Jones, both of whom have financial qualifications and experience. Bruce Hancox was 
a member of the Audit Committee prior to his resignation. The independent director Jon Pilcher chairs the Committee. The 
Audit Committee currently does not have three members or have a majority of independent directors. The Audit Committee 
prior to the resignation of Bruce Hancox met three times during 2018 and these meetings were attended by all members apart 
from one absence by Peter Jones.  

The current Committee operates under a charter approved by the Board on the 19 October 2016, a summary of which is 
available on the BTC health website.  

It is responsible for undertaking a broad review of, ensuring compliance with, and making recommendations in respect of, the 
company's internal financial controls and legal compliance obligations. It is also responsible for: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

review of audit assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls over the company’s accounting and 
financial reporting systems, including controls over computerised systems; 

review of the audit plans and recommendations of the external auditors; 

evaluating the extent to which the planned scope of the audit can be relied upon to detect weaknesses in internal 
control, fraud and other illegal acts; 

review of the results of audits, any changes in accounting practices or policies and subsequent effects on the financial 
statements and make recommendations to management where necessary and appropriate; 

review of the performance and fees of the external auditor; 

oversight of legal compliance including trade practices, corporations law, occupational health and safety and 
environmental statutory compliance, and compliance with the Listing Rules of the ASX; 

supervision of special investigations when requested by the Board; 

In undertaking these tasks, the Audit Committee meets separately with management and external auditors where required.  

In accordance with Recommendation 4.2, the Board sought assurances in writing from the Executive Chairman and the 
Company Secretary that in their opinion the financial records of the company for the financial year 30 June 2018 were; 

(a)  properly maintained in accordance with section 286 of the Corporations Act 2001; and 

(b)  the financial statements, and the notes to the financial statements, of the entity, for the financial year ended 30 June 

2018: 

a.  comply with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional 

reporting requirements; and 

b.  give a true and fair view of the entity's financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of  
its performance, as represented by the results of its operations and its cash flows, 
for the financial year ended on that date. 

The Board received those assurances on 21 August 2018. 

In accordance with Recommendation 4.3, the Board ensures that its external auditor attends the AGM and is available to answer 
questions from security holders relevant to the audit. 

11

Principle 5. 

Make timely and balanced disclosure 

In accordance with ASX Listing rules, the company will notify ASX of any information which the Board considers would be 
likely to have a material effect on the price or value of the company’s securities, or which could influence a person to buy, sell 
or hold its securities. 

Due to the size and stage of development of the business, the company does not have a formal written policy for complying with 
its continuous disclosure obligations (Recommendation 5.1).  However, the Board employs review and approval processes that 
ensure timely, and balanced disclosure of material information concerning the company, to shareholders and the general public. 

The company also has a policy of ensuring that all media comment is provided by the Chairman only. 

Principle 6. 

Respect the rights of shareholders 

The Board strives to communicate effectively with shareholders, give them ready access to balanced and understandable 
information about the business and make it easy for them to participate in shareholder meetings. 

In accordance with Recommendation 6.1, comprehensive information about the company and its governance is provided via the 
website www.btchealth.com.au.  This includes information about the Board, as well as corporate governance policies.  All 
announcements, presentations, financial information and meetings materials disclosed to the ASX are placed on the website, so 
that current and historical information can be accessed readily. 

The company’s investor relations program facilitates effective two-way communication with investors (Recommendation 6.2).  
The Chairman interacts with institutional investors, private investors, analysts and media on an ad hoc basis, conducting 
meetings in person or by teleconference and responding personally to enquiries.  

The Board seeks practical and cost-effective ways to promote informed participation at shareholder meetings (Recommendation 
6.3).  This includes providing access to clear and comprehensive meeting materials and electronic proxy voting.  

In accordance with Recommendation 6.4, shareholders are provided with and encouraged to use electronic methods to 
communicate with the company and with the share registry.  

Principle 7.  Recognise and manage risk 

The  Directors  have  not  formed  a  separate  Risk  Committee.  The  Board  thus  retains  direct  responsibility,  oversight  and 
management for material business risks.  (Recommendation 7.1) 

The  multiple  risks  inherent  in  operating  the  company  and  managing  its  investments  are  managed  by  a  number  of  means 
designed to avoid or minimise any adverse material financial impact. These include: 

- 

- 
- 

reviews  by  the  Board  of  the  scope,  practical  application  and  thoroughness  of  the  system  of  internal  control  and  the 
company’s means of recognising and protecting itself against material business risk; 
reports from the company’s insurance broker concerning the adequacy of insurance cover. 
reports  and  recommendations  received  from  the  external  auditor  during  the  process  of  reviewing  the  accounts  and 
internal controls. 

The  Board  has  reviewed  the  required  reports  noted  above  (Recommendation  7.2)  and  consider  them  adequate  to  monitor  the 
effectiveness  of  managing  material  business  risks.  Given  that  the  company’s  business  focus  is  upon  providing  patient  equity 
capital  to  new  Australian  enterprises  endeavouring  to  exploit  commercial  opportunities  in  the  life-sciences  field,  the  major 
financial risk is that the company’s investment will be lost or will materially lose value.  This could occur under a variety of 
circumstances including  where the underlying enterprise subsequently fails, or commercially suffers in a significant  way, e.g. 
due to marketing difficulties or delays, product failure, serious management or funding problems, etc. The innovative nature of 
the investee enterprises also tends to increase the investment risk involved.  

The Board endeavours to reduce investment risk by a number of means, including: 

- 

- 
- 
- 

- 
- 

requiring all investments to be made in full compliance with the Pooled Development Funds Act 1992 and the general 
rationale of the PDF Program; 
ensuring proper evaluation of new investment opportunities by means of a thorough due diligence assessment; 
ensuring investees have taken proper steps to secure their intellectual property rights; 
ensuring each investee has a proper business plan, financial budgets and has established clear, achievable, commercial 
goals; 
diversifying investment over a number of different companies, each aiming at a different potential market area or niche; 
appointing a director to the board of an investee company when possible.  

12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BTC health Limited 

The Board reviewed the company’s risk management framework and satisfied itself that it continues to be sound on 21 August 
2018. (Recommendation 7.2) 

The  Board  considers  that  it  is  not  necessary  to  have  an  internal  audit  function.  The  Board  processes  described  above  are 
adequate, given the size and complexity of the business (Recommendation 7.3).  

The  company  does  not  have  a  material  exposure  to  economic,  environmental  or  social sustainability  risks.  (Recommendation 
7.4) 

Principle 8.  Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

The  total  remuneration  pool  for  non-executive  directors  is  approved  by  shareholders.  There  is  currently  only  one  executive 
director and his executive fee has been determined and agreed upon by the board. The level of the fee was determined by the 
directors based on professional experience, market forces and the amount of time required to execute the role. 

For  these  reasons,  the  Board  has  not  appointed  a  Remuneration  Committee  (Recommendation  8.1)  and  any  remuneration 
matters are dealt with by the Board.  Particulars concerning Directors’ remuneration are set out in the Directors’ Report.  The 
company’s current policy is that non-executive directors receive only fixed cash remuneration. 

In accordance  with Recommendation 8.3, any participants in an equity-based remuneration scheme are not permitted  to enter 
into any transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the 
scheme.

Note 1        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The Financial Report of BTC health Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards  (including  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations)  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001. The  financial  report  was 
authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 21 August 2018 

BTC health Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the 
Australian Securities Exchange.  

Basis of Preparation 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, 
as noted, are at fair value.   

Fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction 
between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date,  regardless  of  whether  that  price  is  directly  observable  or 
estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the  Company takes 
into  account  the  characteristics  of  the  asset  or  liability  if  market  participants  would  take  those  characteristics  into 
account  when  pricing  the  asset  or  liability  at  the  measurement  date.  Fair  value  for  measurement  and/or  disclosure 
purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis.  

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the 
degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair 
value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows: 
•  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can 

access at the measurement date; 

•  Level  2  inputs  are  inputs,  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within  Level  1,  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or 

liability, either directly or indirectly; and 

•  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

Both the functional currency and presentation currency of BTC health Limited is Australian dollars ($AUD). 

For the purpose of preparing the financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. 

Statement of Compliance 

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements 
and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).  

Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards 

Amendments to Accounting Standards and new Interpretations that are mandatorily effective for the current 
reporting period 

The Company has adopted the following new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current year: 

•  AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to 

AASB 107  

The adoption of new and revised Standards and Interpretations did not have any material impact on the Company’s 
financial statements.  

New and revised Australian Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective 

At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Company has not applied the following new and revised 
Australian Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective: 

19 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
AASB 9 Financial Instruments is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and for 
reporting by the Company in the 30 June 2019 financial year. 

This standard principally addresses the classification, measurement and recognition approaches for financial assets and 
liabilities.  

The directors do not expect this standard to have a material impact on the recognition and measurement of its financial 
instruments.  

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2018 and for reporting by the Company in the 30 June 2019 financial year. 

The standard addresses revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, timing 
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. 

The Company only generates revenue from interest income and related party management fees for which no significant 
changes in timing or measurement have been identified under the principles of the AASB 15. Accordingly, the directors 
do not anticipate that the application of the new standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial 
statements.  

AASB 16 Leases is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and for reporting by the 
Company in the 30 June 2020 financial year. 

The standard will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating 
and finance leases has been removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial 
liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short term and low-value leases. The accounting for 
lessors will not significantly change. 

The directors do not anticipate that the application of the new standard will have a material impact on the Company’s 
financial statements as the Company does not presently have any long-term lease commitments.  

Significant Accounting Policies 

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial 
report. 

(a) 

Income Tax 

Current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the 
statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in 
other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated 
using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  on  all  temporary  differences  at  the  statement  of  financial  position  date 
between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  for  financial  reporting  purposes.  
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred 
income  tax  liability  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a 
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit 
or loss. 

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences,  carry-forward  of  unused 
tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against 
which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses 
can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the 
extent  that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  sufficient  taxable  profit  will  be  available  to  allow  all  or  part  of  the 
deferred income tax asset to be utilised.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates 
expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

(b) 

Impairment of Financial Assets 

Financial assets, other than those financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators 
of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is 
objective  evidence  that,  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  events  that  occurred  after  the  initial  recognition  of  the 
financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. 

(c) 

Revenue Recognition 

Interest revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net 
carrying amount of the financial asset.  

Management fee revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and 
measured in accordance with the underlying agreement. 

(d) 

Investment Entity 

The company meets the definition of investment entities which are exempt from consolidation under AASB10 
Consolidated Financial Statements. Instead of consolidating controlled investments the company measures its 
investments at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position and recognises changes in the fair value 
through the profit or loss. 

(e) 

Investments and other Financial Assets 

All  financial  assets  are  recognised  and  derecognised  on  trade  date  where  the  purchase  or  sale  of  a  financial 
asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by 
the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial 
assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. 

(i) 

Available-for-sale 

Available for sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, being the fair value of the consideration 
given  and  including  transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  or  issue  of  the  financial 
assets.  After initial recognition, financial assets, which are classified as available-for-sale, are measured at fair 
value.  Gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised as a separate component of equity 
until the financial asset is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the financial assets is determined to 
be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the profit or 
loss.   

(ii) 

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 short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for 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 or losses arising from changes in fair value 
are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.  

21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(iii) 

Held-to-maturity 

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-
to-maturity when the company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.  Investments that are 
intended to be held-to-maturity, such as term deposits, are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently 
measured  at  amortised  cost.    This  cost  is  computed  as  the  amount  initially  recognised  minus  principal 
repayments,  plus  or  minus  the  cumulative  amortisation  using  the  effective  interest  method  of  any  difference 
between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. 

(f) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprises of cash at bank and in hand and 
short-term  deposits  with  an  original  maturity  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily  convertible  to  known 
amounts  of  cash  and  which  are  subject  to  insignificant  risk  of  change  in  value.    For  the  purposes  of  the 
Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net 
of outstanding bank overdrafts. 

(g) 

Trade and other creditors 

These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services  provided  to  the  company  prior  to  the  end  of  the 
financial  year  and  which  are  unpaid.  The  amounts  are  unsecured  and  are  usually  paid  within  30  days  of 
recognition.  Trade  and  other  creditors  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value  and  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised cost. 

(h) 

Earnings / (Loss) per share 

(i) 

Basic earnings / (loss) per share 

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of 
the  company,  excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in 
ordinary shares issued during the year. 

(ii)  Diluted earnings / (loss) per share 

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

(i) 

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 statement of cash 
flows on a net basis. 

(j) 

Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions 

In  applying  the  Company's  accounting  policies,  management  continually  evaluates  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an 
impact on the Company. All judgments, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based 
on  the  most  current  set  of  circumstances  available  to  management.  Actual  results  may  differ  from  the 
judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions.  Significant  judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions  made  by 
management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:

Valuation of investments 
The  fair  values  of  unlisted  securities  not  traded  in  an  active  market  are  determined  in  accordance  with  the 
directors’ valuations which are based on their experience in the industry.  

The  directors  have  used  assumptions,  such  as  estimated  cash  flows,  project  business  growth  plans  and  other 
market  data  available  in  determining  their  valuation  of  the  unlisted  investments.  Should  these  assumptions 
change in subsequent periods the fair value may be impacted and accounted for through the profit or loss. The 
directors have used a number of different valuation tools together  to determine the fair  value of the investee 
companies, including projected discounted cash flows and multiples of projected revenues and profits.

Unlisted shares 
The fair value of each unlisted investment is determined by directors’ valuation, which is based on their experience in 
the industry. The directors have used assumptions,  such as estimated cash  flows, project plans and other  market data 
available  in  determining  their  valuation  of  the  unlisted  investments.  Should  these  assumptions  change  in  subsequent 
periods  the  fair  value  may  be  impacted  and  accounted  for  through  the  profit  or  loss. The  directors  have  used  several 
different  valuation  tools  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  the  investee  companies,  including  discounted  cash  flows  and 
multiples of revenues and profits.

Note 18 

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies 

Financial Risk Management 
Overview 
The company has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments – interest rate risk, credit risk, 
liquidity risk and market price risk.  This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above 
risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management 
framework.  The board reviews regularly the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced 
by the company.  The company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits and financial 
assets.  The company has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its 
operations.  The company’s policy in relation to the valuation of investments traded on organised markets, and unlisted 
investments has been described in Note 1(e). 

Interest Rate Risk 
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will 
fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.  Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing financial 
assets and liabilities that the company uses.  The company’s financial assets which are affected by interest rate risk are 
the company’s cash and cash equivalents and term deposits held.  The company manages its interest risk by using a mix 
of fixed and variable rates and trades only with recognised credit worthy third parties. 

The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments that are exposed to interest 
rate risk:

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments 
The company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.  
Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss. 

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments 
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company’s: 

-  Loss for the year ended 30 June 2018 would decrease/increase by $11,646 (2017: decrease/increase by 

$8,925). This is mainly attributable to the company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate savings. 

Credit Risk 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to 
meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the company's cash and cash equivalents, other assets and 
loans to investee companies. The company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class 
of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount of these assets. 

Liquidity Risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to 
meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or 
risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

Market Price Risk 
Equity price risk arises from financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss held as a part of the company's 
operations. Investments within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis and all buy and sell decisions are 
approved by the Board of Directors. The primary goal of the Company’s investment strategy is to maximise investment 
returns on sale of investments. Unlisted investments are designated as a financial asset held at fair value through profit 
or loss their performances are actively monitored, and they are managed on a fair value basis.   

Sensitivity analysis on changes in market equity prices 
A change of 20% (based on the Board’s assessment of similar movements in the life sciences industry) in equity prices 
at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The 
analysis is performed on the same basis for 2017.

Fair value of financial instruments: Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purposes of 
measuring fair value 

The fair values of unlisted investments are determined in accordance by directors’ valuations, which are based on their 
experience in the industry.  Directors have used assumptions, such as estimated cash flows, project plans and other 
market data available in determining their valuation of unlisted investments. Directors have reviewed discounted cash 
flows and multiple of revenue and profit calculations to determine the fair value holding costs of the investments.

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. 

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

identical assets or liabilities. 

b)  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). 

c)  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).

Significant assumptions used in determining fair value of financial assets and liabilities 

The  fair  value  of  unlisted  investments  are  determined  by  directors’  valuations  and  assumptions,  such  as  impacts  on 
estimated cash flows, project plans and market data available. 

Capital risk management 
The Company objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern 
in  order  to  provide  returns  for  shareholders  and  benefits  for  other  stakeholders  and  to  maintain  an  optimal  capital 
structure  to  reduce  the  cost  of  capital.  The  management  of  the  Company's  capital  is  performed  by  the  Board.  The 
company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged 
from 2017. 

The  capital  structure  of  the  Company  consists  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  equity  attributable  to  equity  holders, 
comprising  issued  capital,  reserves  and  retained  earnings.  Operating  cash  flows  are  used  to  maintain  and  expand 
operations, as well as to make routine expenditu.res such as tax and general administrative outgoings.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of BTC 
Health Limited (formerly Biotech Capital Limited) 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of BTC health Limited (the “Company”) which comprises 
the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash 
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 
significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

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

(i) 

giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and 
of its financial performance for the year then ended; and   

(ii) 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulation 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

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

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

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

Key Audit Matters  

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

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Key Audit Matter 

Unlisted shares held at fair value 

Refer Note 6 

The company invests in a portfolio of life 
science organisations. 

As  at  30  June  2018,  the  company’s 
investment  portfolio  consisted  of  three 
unlisted companies carried at a fair value 
of $245,200.   

The  valuation  of  these  assets  requires 
significant  management judgement. 

How the scope of our audit responded to 
the Key Audit Matter 
Our  procedures  included,  but  were  not  limited 
to: 

  Obtaining an understanding of the processes 
undertaken  by  management  to  determine 
the fair value of  investments in the unlisted 
companies within their portfolio; 

  Assessing  and  challenging  management’s 
valuation  methodology  and  assumptions 
applied,  in  conjunction  with  our  valuation 
specialists; 

  Evaluating  the  actual  financial  performance 

of each of the investments by: 

o  Comparing 

the 

forecast 

financial 
information for the year and the plans 
included in   the  investment business 
case,  to  the  actual    financial  and 
operational results; 

o  Agreeing  key  account  balances  to 

supporting reconciliations; 

o  Obtaining  an  understanding  of  key 

customers contracts in place; 

o  Performing  analytical  procedures  to 
identify unusual trends or movements 
in account balances; and 

o  Discussing  business  performance  and 
future  business  plans  and  forecasts, 
including  the  adequacy  of  existing 
funding,  with  management  of  the 
assess 
company 
investment 
whether 
are 
appropriate  and  are  consistent  with 
the investment business case. 

forecasts 

those 

to 

We  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosures in note 6 to the financial statements. 

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information  included  in  the  Company’s  annual  report  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2018,  but 
does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

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

In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the  financial  report,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  other 
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 
with the financial report  or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be 
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a 
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have 
nothing to report in this regard.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

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

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise 
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:   

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to  fraud  or  error,  design  and  perform  audit  procedures  responsive  to  those  risks,  and 
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for 
one  resulting  from  error,  as  fraud  may  involve  collusion,  forgery,  intentional  omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control.  

 

 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting  and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty 
exists  related to  events or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Company’s 
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, 
we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the 
financial  report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. 
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a 
going concern.  

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including 
the  disclosures,  and whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying transactions 
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and 
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal 
control that we identify during our audit.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and 
other  matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where 
applicable, related safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of 
most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the 
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation 
precludes  public  disclosure  about  the  matter  or  when,  in  extremely  rare  circumstances,  we 
determine  that  a  matter  should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse 
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits 
of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 4 to 7 of the Directors’ Report for 
the year ended 30 June 2018.  

In  our  opinion,  the Remuneration  Report  of  BTC health  Limited,  for  the  year  ended  30  June 
2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities

Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Our 
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Remuneration  Report,  based  on  our  audit 
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
