ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2021 BTC HEALTH LIMITED ASX:BTC www.btchealth.com.au Contents Chairman’s Letter Directors' Report Corporate Governance Statement Financial Report Directors' Declaration Auditor's Independence Declaration Independent Auditor's Report Shareholder Information Corporate Directory Auditor Report Information 2 4 12 19 41 42 43 46 48 BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 1 Chairman’s Letter I am pleased to report that despite the broader disruptions to the economy, our investments in BTC Speciality Health Pty Ltd and BioImpact Pty Ltd (collectively referred to as BTC) have continued to perform strongly. We have achieved a number of important milestones that are central to the Company’s growth strategy. Our three-pillar investment strategy comprises organic growth, product diversification and transformative mergers and acquisitions, with a central focus on innovative medical technologies and speciality pharmaceuticals. Organic growth. Sales of medical devices and consumables grew 25% to $7.3m in the 2020/21 financial year. After normalising for a significant period of elective surgery closure in 2019/20, we estimate the underlying business grew 16% per annum, which is in line with our expectation of delivering double-digit growth. Our sales team have been highly successful in prospecting, educating and onboarding clinicians to use BTC products over those marketed by our competitors. We remain confident our products are differentiated, cost effective and deliver better patient outcomes. New business comprised an increase in new hospital accounts of 9%, coupled with the expansion of new surgeon uptake within existing accounts. I am encouraged by the feedback we consistently receive from clinicians that our products provide real benefits to patients, reduced stay in hospital and thereby reduce the cost burden on the healthcare system. Product diversification. We have made good progress to extend our product range. On 30 June 2021, BTC acquired the exclusive sale and distribution rights from Bronchitol(R) and Aridol(R) in Australia, New Zealand and selected Asian countries from Pharmaxis for a one-off payment of $2m for a 10-year period with ongoing renewals. Bronchitol® is PBS listed and indicated for Cystic Fibrosis and helps to clear abnormal build-up of mucus in the lungs, airways and digestive system. Cystic Fibrosis Australia estimates 3,500 people currently suffer from Cystic Fibrosis in Australia. The condition is life limiting and patients require ongoing medical intervention. Aridol® is indicated for identifying bronchial hyperresponsiveness, a key indicator for the diagnosis of asthma. Asthma Australia estimate 2.7m (or 1 in every 9) Australians are diagnosed with Asthma. I am pleased we can continue to make Bronchitol® and Aridol® available in the Australian market where there is a clear clinical need, and we are confident that our sales and marketing expertise will support future growth of this portfolio. Our mission is to provide clinicians with solutions and choice to improve patient care. Since closing the 2020/21 financial year, BTC has entered into two further agreements to expand its product offering. A range of line extensions has been sourced to expand BTC’s medical consumables portfolio from Mediplus, a UK manufacturer of single use medical devices in Anaesthesia, Gynaecology and Urology. And BTC will also be selling and distributing Breg orthopaedic braces into hospitals to support patient recovery after joint surgery. Our expanded range will continue to provide hospitals with greater choice both during surgery and solutions for ongoing care post- surgery. BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 2 Transformative mergers and acquisitions. Acquiring further healthcare assets will enable a step change in revenue and earnings, and as such this remains a key focus for the Board and management team. Our pipeline of potential acquisition targets is strong and we continue to pursue a number of opportunities. Shareholders will be further briefed as we progress discussions and seek capital funding. During the year the Department of Health sought industry feedback on a range of proposed reforms to the Prosthesis List, which is the re-imbursement framework for medical devices and funded by private health insurers. Our submission highlighted that some of the proposed changes could lead to increased patient co-payments and of most concern, an unintended resurgence in the use of post-operative opioid drug use. We are confident that our products deliver real clinical and cost benefits and we will continue to emphsasise the importance of patients continuing to have access to the best medical devices available, enabling improved recovery from surgery and earlier discharge from hospital. BTC has made good progress these last 12 months and our underlying business is strong. The company is actively assessing healthcare assets to further diversify the business and create scale within the hospital market. Our objective for the year ahead is to execute transformational change while continuing to expand our product portfolio and generate organic growth, creating sustainable returns to shareholders within a compliant Pooled Development Fund. The Board would like to thank its employees, customers, shareholders and supply partners for their ongoing support. We recognise your commitment to provide leading medical products ensures best possible patient care.

R S Treagus, Chairman Melbourne 17 August 2021 BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 11 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 on 17 August 2021. 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”) 4th Edition issued by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in February 2019. 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. In accordance with Recommendation 1.2, the board charter sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Board and Management. 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 12 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 has formalized a process to review the performance of senior executives, as described in Recommendation 1.7. Performance of senior executives includes but is not limited to the achievement of goals set by the Board and performance behaviours in line with company values. 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 is currently establishing a skills matrix which sets out the mix of skills that the Board seeks to achieve in its membership (recommendation 2.2). The skills matrix will be disclosed when finalised. 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 maximum value to the business at this stage of its development, notwithstanding that they do not follow 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. In the event the composition of the board changes, the company has formalised an induction program for new directors, as described in Recommendation 2.6. BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 13 Principle 3. Promote ethical and responsible decision-making The Board is committed to the highest standards of conduct and ethical behaviour in all business activities.

Employees are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of bribery and corruption at the earliest stage. 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 Company’s obligation to disclose price-sensitive information does not apply if, and only if, each of the following conditions is and remains satisfied: • • • a reasonable person would not expect to be disclosed (because, for example, the result of disclosure would be unreasonably prejudicial to the Company); and the information is confidential; and one or more of the conditions apply: it would be a breach of law to disclose the information; and/or the information concerns an incomplete proposal or negotiation; and/or information is insufficiently definite to arrant disclosure; and/or information is generated for internal management purposes; and or the information is a trade secret. BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 16 The Board may request a trading halt where confidential information is inadvertently made public and further time is required to enable the company to prepare an appropriate public announcement; or the company is preparing to make a major announcement. The company will provide information to the ASX under Listing Rule 3.1B to prevent or correct a false market. 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 investors The company’s (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; BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 17 • appointing a director to the board of an investee company when possible. The Board reviewed the company’s risk management framework and satisfied itself that it continues to be sound on 17 August 2021. (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.

BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 23 Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Financial Report of BTC health Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 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 17 August 2021. 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 pandemic has not had a material impact on business operations during the current year, however, the Company is unable to determine if COVID-19 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 The company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted do not have a material effect on the company. BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 24 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. 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 BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 25 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. 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. BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 26 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. 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. BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 27 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.

Note 18 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 in relation to the valuation of investments traded on organised markets, and unlisted investments has been described in Note 1(e). its operations. The company’s policy 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: BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 36 30 June 2021 Financial Assets Cash Total financial assets Financial liabilities - Trade and other payables Total financial liabilities Net Financial Assets 30 June 2020 Financial Assets Cash Total financial assets Financial liabilities - Trade and other payables Total financial liabilities Net Financial Assets Balance $ Interest Rate Weighted Average Effective Interest Rate 2,368,975 2,368,975 2,040,535 2,040,535 328,440 2,750,289 2,750,289 121,409 121,409 2,628,880 Floating 0.01% N/A - Floating 0.07% N/A - 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 2021 would decrease/increase by $50,236 (2020: decrease/increase by $66,423). 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. BTC HEALTH | ANNUAL REPORT PG 37 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: Carrying amount Contractual cash flows 6 months or less Greater than 6 months, less than 1 year Greater than 1 year 30 June 2021 Trade and other payables Unclaimed monies $ (2,040,535) (106,581) (2,147,116) $ (2,040,535) (106,581) (2,147,116) $ (2,040,535) (106,581) (2,147,116) 30 June 2020 Trade and other payables Unclaimed monies (121,409) (106,727) (228,136) (121,409) (106,727) (228,136) (121,409) (106,727) (228,136) $ - - - - - - $ - - - - - - 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.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Unlisted shares held at fair value (Note 6) As at 30 June 2021, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of two unlisted companies carried at a fair value of $8,000,100. These investments are classified as ‘Level 3’ financial assets under Australian Accounting Standards, which are defined as having significant unobservable inputs which make their valuation complex. This area is a key audit matter due to the quantum of the financial assets and the significant estimation involved in determining the value of Level 3 financial assets. Our procedures included, amongst others:  Documenting and assessing the processes and controls 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, with the assistance of Grant Thornton 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.
