Chairman's letter

I am pleased to report that BTC health has made significant progress 
over  the  last  12  months  to  realise  it’s  vision  of  becoming  a  leading 
supplier of innovative medical products in Australia and New Zealand.  

BTC  health’s  cornerstone  investment,  BTC  Speciality  Health,  has 
successfully  completed  the  integration  of  the  hospital  infusion 
business,  purchased  from  Admedus  Australia  on  31  May 2019.    The 
business  has  established  efficient  and  effective  supply  chain  and 
distribution  systems,  comparable  with  multinational  healthcare 
importantly,  this  foundation  enables  future 
companies. 
healthcare  investments  to  be  fully  integrated  in  a  timely  manner, 
yielding further benefit to our customers and incremental returns to 
shareholders. 

  Most 

The coronavirus pandemic has had a material impact on the anticipated growth for the 2019/20 financial year as 
Governments in Australia and New Zealand cancelled elective surgeries in March 2020.  Elective surgeries across 
both countries have subsequently reopened, albeit on a staggered basis.  It is expected that the number of elective 
surgeries in public and private hospitals will  continue to revert to pre-coronavirus pandemic volumes during the 
September 2020 quarter.  Sales to hospitals for the 2019/20 financial year were $5.8m, being 12% – 17% below our 
pre-coronavirus forecast.  The company has exercised strong expense and working capital controls throughout the 
year, resulting in a group cash position of almost $2.8m at 30 June 2020. Demand for our products has increased 
significantly in the new financial year, particularly in the private sector as surgeons work towards reducing elective 
surgery back log.  The business is well positioned for growth, with good inventory levels and a fully resourced sales 
team across Australia and New Zealand working to onboard new accounts and maintain excellent customer service 
of our existing loyal customer base.   

The Board would like to thank its employees, customers, shareholders and supply partners for their support and 
resilience over the coronavirus pandemic.  Our American and European manufacturers have been quick to adapt to 
our anticipated growth in forward demand.  Sigma Healthcare has continued to maintain superior service levels to 
hospitals, ensuring our products are available for surgeons in our shared approach to improve the health outcomes 
of all patients.   

The  Board  made  the  decision  to  sell  its  investment  in  BIO101  Group  Pty  Ltd,  a  non-core  investment  which 
provides accounting, taxation and company secretarial services to companies in the life sciences and healthcare 
sector.  The transaction was completed on 31 July 2020 for $500k cash, which represents a 500% return on BTC 
health’s initial investment in 2016, and consistent with the valuation recognised in BTC health’s accounts at 30 June 
2020. 

We are in the early phase of BTC health’s growth strategy and the future market fundamentals remain strong.  The 
company is actively assessing specialised healthcare assets to further diversify the business and create scale within 
the hospital market.  Our objective for the year ahead is to remain keenly focused on this next pillar of growth and 
complete  a  further  complimentary transaction,  creating  incremental  return  to  shareholders  within  a  compliant 
Pooled Development Fund.   

On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank you for your continued support of BTC health. 

Dr. Richard S Treagus 
Chairman

$160,000  (2019:  $170,000)  and  interest  income  of  $9,604  (2019:  $17,763).  Operating  loss  after  income  tax 
decreased to $283,036 (2019: $692,742), mainly due to the cost of issuing options in the prior year to finance

customer service functions aimed to support our existing customer base and new product launches.

Company is actively assessing a pipeline of assets to purchase which align to the Hospital sector.  This may include 
target  companies  which  operate  within  the  hospital  critical  care  sector,  or  companies  which  provide  product 
diversification in high growth niche markets.

will continue to be sourced by BioImpact and will enable BTC Speciality Health to expand its product range within

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 18 August 2020. 

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.

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 11 

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 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* 

J C Pilcher appointed 1 September 2015 (independent director) 

B A Hewett appointed 5 August 2019 (independent director) 

* R S Treagus is not considered to be independent as he is a related person to a  substantial shareholder in BTC
health.

The  directors  believe  that  the  current  structure,  small  size  and  membership  profile  of  the  Board  provides  the

Recommendation 2.5 as the chair is not independent. 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 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 Bruce Hewett.  Jon chairs the Committee and has extensive financial 
qualifications and experience. The Audit Committee holds a majority of independent directors,  although currently 
does  not  have  three  members.  The  Audit  Committee  met  two  times  during  2019/20  and  these  meetings  were 
attended by all members. 

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 13 

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 2020 
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 2020:

a.

b.

comply with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory
professional reporting requirements; and

give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  entity's  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2020  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 18 August 2020. 

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. 

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. 

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 14 

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. 

investor  relations  program  facilitates  effective  two-way  communication  with 

The  company’s 
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 considered it necessary to form 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.

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.

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 15 

The Board reviewed the company’s risk management framework and satisfied itself that it continues to be sound 
on 18 August 2020. (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 

Due  to  the  current  size  and  structure  of  the  company,  the  Board  has  not  considered  it  necessary  to  form  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. 

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. 

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 2020 

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 18 August 2020. 

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, except for share-based payment transactions 
that are within the scope of AASB 2. 

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’). 

COVID-19 
In  March  2020,  the  World  Health  Organisation  declared  the  outbreak  of  a  novel  coronavirus  (COVID-19)  as  a 
pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused significant volatility in Australian and international markets. There is 
significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its 
impact on the Australian and international economies and, as such, the Company is unable to determine if it will 
have a material impact to its ongoing operations.  

Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards 

New and amended Australian Accounting Standards that are effective for the current year 

AASB 16 - Leases 
The Company has adopted all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that became 
effective for the first time and are relevant to the Company.  

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 22 

The Company has adopted AASB 16 from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees 
eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of 
low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are reocgnised in the statement of financial 
position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge of the right-of-
use assets and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities. The Company has no active leases at 30 June 
2020, therefore as a result, the adoption of the standard had no impact.  

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

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, Standards and 
amendments to existing Standards, and Intepretations have been published by the IASB. None of these Standards 
or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Company. 

Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or 
after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in 
the current year have not been disclosued as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's 
financial statements. 

Significant Accounting Policies 

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

a) 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.

b) Revenue Recognition

The company recognises revenue from management fees for services rendered to investee companies.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in a contract 
with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Management fee revenue is
recognised  over  time  as  the  customer  simultaneously  receives  the  benefits  provided  by  the  entity’s
performance.

c) Interest Income

Interest income 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.

d) 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.

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 23 

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. 

e) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Company’s statement of financial position
when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from
the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial Assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. 
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets
within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair
value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

The company classifies its financial assets as debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost
only if both the following criteria are met:
•

the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order
to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

•

Impairment of financial assets 

The  Company  recognises  a  loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  (ECL)  on  investments  in  debt 
instruments that are measured at amortised cost and trade receivables. The amount of expected credit 
losses  is  updated  at  each  reporting  date  to  reflect  changes  in  credit  risk  since  initial  recognition  of  the 
respective financial instrument. 

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 24 

The  Company always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables. The expected credit losses on these 
financial assets are estimated based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors 
that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well 
as  the  forecast  direction  of  conditions  at  the  reporting  date,  including  time  value  of  money  where 
appropriate. 

For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant 
increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has 
not  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition,  the  Company  measures  the  loss  allowance  for  that 
financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. 

Financial liabilities and equity 

Classification as debt or equity 
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the 
substance  of  the  contractual  arrangements  and  the  definitions  of  a  financial  liability  and  an  equity 
instrument. 

Equity instruments 
An  equity  instrument  is  any  contract  that  evidences  a  residual  interest  in  the  assets  of  an  entity  after 
deducting all its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, 
net of direct issue costs. 

Financial liabilities 
All  the  Company’s  financial  liabilities  are  measured  subsequently  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method. 

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.

g)

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at
the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market-
based vesting conditions.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a
straight-line  basis  over  the  vesting  period,  based  on  the  Company’s  estimate  of  the  number  of  equity
instruments  that  will  eventually  vest.  At  each  reporting  date,  the  Company  revises  its  estimate  of  the
number  of  equity  instruments  expected  to  vest  as  a  result  of  the  effect  of  non-market-based  vesting
conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit  or loss such
that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to reserves.

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the
fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in
which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date
the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

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.

Nil options were granted during the 2020 financial year.  The weighted average fair value of the share 
options  granted  during  the  2019  financial  year  is  $0.034.  Options  were  priced  using  a  Black  Scholes 
option pricing model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on 
management’s best estimate for the effects of non-transferability and exercise restrictions, including 
the probability of meeting market and service conditions attached to the option. Expected volatility was 
based on the historical share price volatility in the 3 year period leading up to the grant date.

Financial  Risk  Management  Objectives  and  Policies 

Financial Risk Management 
Overview 
The company has exposure to the following risks from the 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. 

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT 

PG 35 

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 2020 would decrease/increase by $66,423 (2019: decrease/increase
by $34,200). 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:

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities 

There is no difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts of the company’s financial instruments. 
The company has no unrecognised financial instruments at balance date. 

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 2019.

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.

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. 

a)

b)

c)

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).

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 2019. 

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.

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

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Unlisted shares held at fair value 

The company invests in a portfolio of life science 
organisations.  

As at 30 June 2020, the company’s investment portfolio 
consisted of three unlisted companies carried at a fair value of 
$6,500,100. 

The valuation of these assets requires significant 
management judgement. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

 Documenting and assessing the processes and control

environment in place for management to determine the fair
value of investments within their portfolio;

 Assessing and challenging management’s valuation

methodology and key 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 to the actual financial and operational results;
o Obtaining an understanding of key customer contracts

in place;

o

Performing analytical procedures to identify unusual
trends or movements in account balances;
o Holding discussions with management around

business performance and future business plans,
including whether sufficient existing funding is in place,
and whether the forecasts are appropriate and
consistent with the strategies of the business; and

 Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in the notes to

the financial report.

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 

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 2020, 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 Company’s ability 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

PG 43

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report. 

Report on the remuneration report 

Opinion on the remuneration report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 6 to 8 of the Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 
2020. 

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of BTC Health Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 
300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

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