Chairman’s
Report

Dear Shareholder,

I  am  pleased  to  present  to  you  the  2012  Annual  Report  of 
Cellmid Limited.

The  2012  financial  year  continued  to  present  challenging 
market  conditions  for  Cellmid,  as  for  other  companies  in 
the  biotechnology  sector  competing  for  scarce  capital  in 
risk-averse  markets.  Despite  this  difficult  environment,  I  am 
pleased  to  report  that  the  Company  has  continued  to  build 
successfully  on  our  important  midkine  programmes,  and 
(through our controlled entity Advangen International Pty Ltd) 
commenced commercial sales of our TGA listed évolis® hair 
growth products in Australian pharmacies. Advangen enjoys 
exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights internationally, 
outside of China and Japan, and this global product platform 
is expected to deliver significant revenues for the Company in 
the coming years.

It  is  especially  pleasing  that  the  Company  has  continued 
to  make  encouraging  progress  on  the  midkine  product 
development  programmes.  Humanising  the  first  in  class 
anti-midkine antibody, hu91, in November 2011 represented 
a  key  therapeutic  milestone.  It  is  expected  that  hu91  and 
the  Company’s  other  antibodies  will  continue  to  be  tested 
in  several  therapeutic  areas  in  the  coming  year  including  in 
inflammatory and cancer disease models. 

The  second  report  from  our  licensee  Celera-Quest  in  early 
2012 confirmed that midkine is one of the six markers on their 
lung cancer screening test. Their intention is to fully validate the 
blood  test  on  an  automated  diagnostic  platform  and  release 
it  to  market  in  the  large  global  laboratory  network  available 
through the Quest pathology business. The test is designed as 
an adjunct diagnostic tool for those presenting with non-specific 
lung complaints. Lung cancer is one of the top cancer types by 
number  of  sufferers  and  there  is  an  urgent  need  to  improve 
early diagnosis and assist monitoring of treatment efficacy. 

The  Company’s  GMP  manufactured  MK  ELISA  was  CE 
Marked  in  November  2011  and  has  since  been  field  tested 
in independent laboratories in Australia, Japan, USA, Turkey 
and Germany.  It has been popular with researchers and has 
performed exceptionally well in a 500 sample healthy volunteer 
study. As a result the Company has been able to establish the 
healthy reference values for midkine, as a critical first step in 
developing its own diagnostic products. 

participants from 12 countries. The objective of the meeting 
was to foster collaboration between leaders in midkine research 
in a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic fields and provide an 
opportunity for Cellmid to promote the Company’s intellectual 
property  platform  which  underpins  this  diverse  independent 
research. Presentations over the two day programme ranged 
from  cancer  research  to  midkine  biology,  and  included  new 
data on exciting potential treatments for musculoskeletal and 
inflammatory  conditions.    Several  research  and  commercial 
collaborations are expected to arise from the deliberations at 
the Conference.  

Further  details  of  all  these  important  developments  can  be 
found  in  the  report  from  our  CEO  and  Managing  Director 
Maria Halasz elsewhere in this Annual Report.    

With regard to the developing Advangen hair growth product 
business,  our  strategy  for  the  period  was  to  accelerate  the 
over-the-counter  business  and  mitigate  the  Company’s 
financial  risks  by  generating  early  revenues.  To  that  end 
the  Company  has  been  successful  in  transferring  the 
manufacturing  technology  to  Australia  and  TGA  listing  the 
évolis®  products  so  as  to  be  able  to  include  important  hair 
growth  related  claims  on  the  packaging  –  the  latter  a  “first”  
in  Australia  for  over  20  years.  Following  the  launch  of  these 
novel products around the end of the reporting period, early 
indicators  of  market  acceptance  point  to  strong  potential 
sales and an important early revenue stream. 

Although the year in review has been especially challenging for 
“small cap” companies in our sector, as in other sectors, it is 
pleasing that the Company has made solid progress on both 
technical and commercial fronts; we enter the year ahead with 
good prospects for yet more progress on both fronts. It is of 
course  disappointing  that  our  progress  is  not  well  reflected 
in the share price performance, however we will continue to 
maintain focus on our business fundamentals.

Our  staff  and  technical  advisors  deserve  credit  for  their 
excellent  work  throughout  the  year,  nobody  more  so 
than  our  indefatigable  CEO  Maria  Halasz.  On  behalf  of 
the  Board  I  extend  to  them  our  sincere  thanks.  We  also 
thank  all  our  shareholders  for  their  continued  support. 

In  June  2012  the  Company  sponsored  the  2nd  Excellence 
in  Midkine  Research  Conference  in  Istanbul,  with  over  70

 4 Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

 
 
CEO’S
Report

Dear Shareholder,

The 2012 financial year has been transforming for Cellmid as 
we have achieved a number of critical milestones in the areas 
of diagnostics, therapeutics and personal care. 

We  have  commenced  commercial  sales  of  our  over-the-
counter  (OTC)  hair  growth  products  in  our  personal  care 
subsidiary  Advangen  International  Pty  Ltd.  Humanising  the 
first-in-class anti-midkine antibody (hu91) was a major achieve-
ment  for  our  antibody  program,  whilst  GMP  manufacturing 
and CE Marking our midkine (MK) blood test (MK-ELISA) set 
us on the right path to commercialise our cancer diagnostic 
assets. 

On  the  EGM  held  on  30  September  2011  the  majority  of 
our  shareholders  voted  down  the  resolution  to  issue  further 
shares to La Jolla Cove Investors under the facility signed a 
year before. Whilst the money from the facility was useful as 
it made it possible to progress with the product development 
programs it has resulted in the erosion of our share price. The 
facility  was  eventually  terminated  in  February  2012  and  the 
final share issue to La Jolla Cove Investors was made on 20 
April 2012. 

Since then Cellmid raised $1.4M in April 2012, of which $1M 
was received by 30 June 2012 ending the financial year with 
a  cash  balance  of  $1.05M.  The  remaining  $400,000  was 
received post balance date in July 2012. 

Our  revenue  was  slightly  up  to  $171,273  for  the  year 
($152,047 in 2011). This amount included a small initial order 
of the évolis® hair growth products, which related to supply to 
around 100 Terry White Chemists. 

The  consolidated  net  loss  of  the  group  amounted  to 
$1,972,483, after providing for income tax. This represents a 
15% decrease on the losses reported for the year ended 30 
June  2011  ($2,269,637).  This  result  was  achieved  during  a 
period  when  the  Advangen  business  has  grown  rapidly  and 
transformed from test marketing to getting regulatory listing, 
completing  GMP  manufacture  and  commercially  launching 
the évolis® products to pharmacies. 

Advangen International Pty Ltd – OTC pharmacy business

At  the  time  we  negotiated  the  exclusive  manufacturing  and 
distribution  agreement  for  the  FGF-5  inhibitor  hair  growth 
products we have done so with the specific strategic objective 
of mitigating risks for the Company.  By eventually providing 

regular cash flows we intended this business to underwrite the 
Company’s overheads.

In late 2010 we embarked on a test-marketing program and 
began  learning  about  the  hair  growth  sector,  market  need, 
perceptions  and  pricing.  By  late  2011  we  established  that 
there  was  a  genuine  need  for  a  scientifically  and  clinically 
validated, effective and safe hair growth product that can be 
used  by  men  and  women.  We  also  found  out  that  the  last 
time  a  regulatory  approved  topical  product  was  released  to 
the market was in 1988, some 24 years earlier. That product 
was minoxidil, the vasodilator that was originally developed as 
a blood pressure medication.

At this point we knew we had a hair growth product that ticked 
all the boxes; it had a very clear mechanism of action inhibiting 
FGF-5. It was effective as demonstrated by the clinical trials 
that  delivered  32%  reduction  in  hair  loss  and  18%  increase 
in the rate of hair growth. There have been no reported side 
effects  in  Japan  following  three  years  of  marketing  so  we 
knew the products have excellent safety profile.  

Even  so,  it  took  extraordinary  team  work  by  our  staff  to 
receive TGA listing certificates for both the men and women’s 
product,  to  transfer  the  technology  into  Australia,  complete 
GMP  manufacture,  launch  the  product  in  pharmacies  and 
receive  the  first  commercial  purchase  order  from  one  of  the 
biggest  buying  groups  within  nine  months  from  completing 
the test marketing. 

In  February  2012  after  three  months  of  data  collation  and 
submission preparation Advangen’s first Australian products, 
‘évolis® for men’ and ‘évolis® for women’ hair growth tonics, 
received  listing  certificates  from  the  TGA.  This  meant  that 
important  claims  such  as  “promotes  hair  growth”,  “helps 
reduce hair loss and thinning” and “restores the natural growth 
cycle by inhibiting FGF-5” can now be listed on the packaging. 

During our media launch on 29 March 2012 we advised the 
market  that  after  24  years  there  is  a  clinically  validated  hair 
growth  product  with  a  clear  mechanism  of  action  that  is 
safe to use for all ages and for both men and women. Most 
importantly,  we  set  up  a  quick  succession  of  meetings  with 
pharmacy  banner  group  buyers,  where  the  reception  was 
uniformly enthusiastic. Our staff was understandably elevated 
when the first significant order came through from Terry White 
Chemists at the very end of the financial year.

It is difficult to predict sales at this stage and we do not expect 
to come out with forecasts for the first full year of sales. There

are many reasons for this; it will take some time to reach the 
targeted number of pharmacy doors selling the product and 
the line-fill rate (the rate of re-order) is yet to be established. 
Furthermore, there is uncertainty around the timing and level of 
market penetration in international territories such as the USA, 
Europe,  India  and  South  America.  Table  1  above  provides 
a  summary  of  our  distribution  strategy  both  in  Australia  and 
internationally.

MK Diagnostics

Whilst the 2012 financial year maybe called the year of évolis® 
we’ve kicked significant goals in our midkine (MK) programs. 
Our  diagnostics  business  received  a  boost  in  August  2011 
when we successfully transferred the MK-ELISA (blood test) 
technology  from  pilot  to  commercial  GMP  manufacture  and 
the  first  100  kits  rolled  off  the  manufacturing  lines  of  Asure-
Quality.  This  was  a  critical  step  in  our  cancer  diagnostic 
program and using our own MK-ELISA has become the basis 
of all our subsequent data collection. 

By October 2011 we received CE Marking of the MK-ELISA 
opening  up  sales  opportunities  to  the  research  market  as 
the  first  ever  validated  MK  blood  test.  In  December  2011 
the first stage of our Kumamoto University collaboration was 
completed  establishing  the  healthy  MK  reference  range  by 
measuring the MK levels in approximately 240 healthy individ-
uals  using  our  CE  marked  blood  test.  Knowing  the  healthy 
reference range is essential in assessing MK levels of cancer 
patients and a key component of our regulatory filing.

We  have  all  been  keen  to  get  an  update  on  our  diagnostic 
licenses  and  in  March  2012  Celera-Quest  provided  us  with 
a  brief  report.  Celera’s  lung  cancer  test  in  development,  as 
confirmed by this update, does indeed include MK as one of 
six markers used in the panel. We have also been advised that 
Celera-Quest  will  launch  the  product  as  an  LDT  (laboratory 
developed device) utilising the extensive clear lab system avail-
able through Quest. Whilst we haven’t received information on 
the timing of a product launch the test was in the process of 
being  validated  on  an  automated  diagnostic  platform  at  the 
time of reporting.

6  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

Our in-house cancer diagnostic studies (CS5000) have been 
progressing to an extent that we have used up or sold all of 
the  first  batch  of  MK-ELISA  kits  and  had  to  complete  the 
second manufacturing batch with 250 units in June 2012.

CAB103 – MK Antibody program

Our  strategic  review  of  the  MK  antibody  program  in  2010 
resulted  in  setting  a  clear  path  to  product  development  in 
this  business  unit.  During  the  2011  financial  year  we  have 
spent substantial resources to characterise and evaluate our 
MK  antibodies,  their  binding  characteristics  and  biological 
functionality.  With  more  than  120  antibodies  in  our  treasure 
chest there was much to do. 

By  early  2011  we  selected  a  lead  antibody  candidate  for 
humanisation and in October 2011 we had our first in class 
humanised and de-immunised anti-MK antibody (hu-91). The 
antibody engineering was done by Antitope Ltd in Cambridge.  
The collaboration proved to be a great success with a deliv-
ery of a drug candidate in record time.  We have spent three 
subsequent  months  testing  hu91  to  confirm  its  binding 
characteristics and functionality.

In mid 2012 we began testing hu91 and other MK antibodies 
in pre-clinical models of diseases. We expect to continue this 
work as we have at least 12 different diseases to be tested in 
our menu of potentially suitable clinical indications.  

CAMI101

Our therapeutic program for the treatment of heart attack has 
reached a critical point with the completion of pharmacokinetic 
studies.  The  next  stage  of  additional  efficacy  studies  in  large 
animals is planned subject to the availability of sufficient funding.

Patent Portfolio Update

In  May  2012  our  patent  for  the  prevention  and  treatment  of 
autoimmune diseases (T-reg patent) was allowed. A key patent 
in  our  antibody  portfolio,  this  adds  another  layer  of  protec-
tion to use anti-MK antibodies for the treatment or prevention 
of diseases associated with functional disorder of regulatory 
T  cells  (T-regs).    Regulatory  T  cells  are  central  controllers  of 
the immune system and when their numbers are abnormally 
low  the  body  can  attack  its  own  tissues  leaving  the  subject 
susceptible to autoimmune diseases. This is another promis-
ing  area  for  Cellmid’s  anti-MK  antibodies,  which  can  boost 
T-reg  numbers  and  protect  the  body  from  attacking  its  own 
immune system.

In  addition  to  our  new  antibody  patents  in  November  2011 
the US Patent Office allowed our key midkine patent for the 
prevention and treatment of ischemia. This is a fundamental 
asset in our heart attack program and rounded up the patent 
family, which has now been granted in all major jurisdictions.

2nd Excellence in Midkine Research Conference

A very important event of the period was the 2nd Excellence 
in  Midkine  Research  Conference.  Cellmid  was  the  sponsor 
of  the  event,  which  provided  a  scientific  forum  for  close  to 
70  midkine  researchers  from  twelve  countries.  Significantly, 
the  conference  demonstrated  that  midkine  has  become  a 
mainstream interest for researchers in several therapeutic and 
diagnostic areas. This in turn is likely to provide the Company 
with  commercial  product  opportunities  given  its  extensive 
patent portfolio held within the area.

World-class midkine research was reported during the confer-
ence on the treatment of glioblastoma, prostate cancer and 
osteoarthritis as well as novel findings on the role of midkine in 
neurological disorders.  Cellmid is already in discussions with 
individual researchers and organisations where collaboration 
may present a commercial opportunity.

We have been actively managing our patent portfolio and have 
always  had  a  strong  focus  on  building  a  cohesive  strategy 
that  makes  commercial  sense.  In  addition,  we  have  been 
giving consideration to preserving our position as the midkine 
company.  With  21  patent  families  and  78  patents,  many  of 
them recently granted, Cellmid is the global leader in MK intel-
lectual property.  

The 2012 financial year presented many challenges and the 
funding  environment  continued  to  be  less  than  favourable 
for  the  sector.  In  this  period  we  have  succeeded  to  grow  a 
new business with cash flow potential, reducing our funding 
risk  going  forward.  Overall  the  Company  has  closed  a  very 
successful  operational  period  with  a  significant  increase  in 
asset value and a springboard for future success.

During  the  2012  financial  year  two  of  our  antibody  patent 
families have been enriched with the granting of US patents. In 
April 2012 our patent for the treatment of adhesion was allowed. 
Adhesion occurs between the abdominal wall and other organs 
in  95%  of  abdominal  surgeries  and  can  result  in  pain,  bowel 
obstruction or infertility in women. Current prevention methods 
include wrapping internal organs in a bio-absorbable barrier to 
prevent them from fusing. The only way to treat adhesions is by 
repeat surgery and there is no approved drug for the preven-
tion or treatment of this condition. It therefore presents a strong 
therapeutic opportunity for our anti-MK antibodies and is one of 
the diseases to be tested in preclinical models. 

I  would  like  to  thank  the  Board  and  the  committed  Cellmid 
team  for  their  contribution  in  achieving  these  substantial 
milestones  this  financial  year.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  our 
shareholders for their active support.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The group has achieved significant commercial milestones in its OTC (over-the-counter) business and reached a number 
of product development goals in its midkine portfolio of programs. 

OTC business – Commercial launch of évolis® hair growth products

Advangen International Pty Ltd has been set up to develop, manufacture and sell OTC products aimed at the hair growth 
market as well as to exploit the groups midkine intellectual property for hair growth.  As exclusive distributor for a range of 
FGF-5 inhibitor products globally outside of Japan and China, Advangen prepared a strategic product development and 
marketing plan to commercialise the range internationally. 

The critically important TGA listing of the évolis® for men and évolis® for women lotions was completed in February 2012. 
In March 2012 the first batch of Australian GMP manufactured goods were received and a media launch held. The first 
pharmacy banner group with 157 individual pharmacies agreed to stock the évolis® products in May and ordered the first 
wholesale supply in June 2012.  

A fully operational commercial website for the sale of the évolis® products was launched in April 2012. 

The group’s patent application for the use of midkine for hair growth has advanced through the provisional phase and is 
currently under national phase examinations in Australia, USA, Europe, Japan, China, South Korea, UK and Switzerland. 

Midkine Business – Progressing with the diagnostic and therapeutic assets

Midkine (MK) Diagnostic Program

MK ELISA

The group’s MK ELISA (midkine blood test) was fully validated and the first batch of GMP manufactured test completed in 
August 2011. Shortly after, in October 2011, the group received CE marking of the test kit. The GMP manufactured and 
CE Marked MK ELISA has since been extensively road tested by scientists in Australia, Japan, USA, Turkey and Germany. 
Consistent performance of the test in the hands of independent users has been an important step in the commercialisa-
tion process. Due to increasing demand for the test on the research market, and due to advancing with several internal 
programs, a second GMP manufacturing run with 250  fully validated kits  was  completed  in  June  2012.  Completion  of 
GMP manufacture and CE marking represents a significant milestone in the commercialisation of the group’s diagnostic 
intellectual property assets.

Celera-Quest license update

In March 2012 the group received its second annual report from Celera-Quest in relation to its license for the use of midkine 
as a biomarker for the early detection of lung cancer. The report has not provided specific product launch dates, however 
it has outlined the significant progress made in the development of Celera-Quest’s six marker lung cancer test. Further, the 
group was advised that Celera-Quest will be launching the lung cancer test on the market as an LDT (laboratory developed 
test), utilising the extensive FDA licensed laboratory network that is provided by Quest. This could potentially accelerate 
the launch of the test. 

Projects CK3000 and CS5000

As part of its cancer screening program the group has continued the CK3000 Project with the collection of over 450 healthy 
individual’s serum samples. During the period 270 samples have been tested with the GMP manufactured and CE Marked 
MK-ELISA and the normal reference range study for the group’s internal diagnostic programs was reported in December 
2011. The study provided statistically relevant results, however sample collection and testing remains ongoing to underpin 
the quality of future regulatory submissions. Project CS5000 commenced in early 2012 with a partnership between the 
John Hunter Hospital and the group for the testing of an unspecified number of cancer samples. The collection process 
of blood samples from patients with prostate cancer has commenced earlier in the period and these samples have been 

10  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

tested as part of a pilot project. The objective of this study was to establish whether prostate cancer patients have elevated 
blood midkine levels, which was confirmed by using the group’s MK ELISA.

Advances in therapeutic product development

The group has two therapeutic programs, CAMI103 (heart attack) and CAB101 (antibody both in pre-clinical stage. Critical 
development milestones have been achieved in the antibody program (CAB101). Successful resolution of the technical 
challenges relating to the manufacturing of midkine has been the key achievement for the CAMI103 program during the 
period. 

CAB101

This program is aimed to develop anti-midkine antibodies for the treatment of a range of inflammatory and autoimmune 
diseases. The program reached a critical milestone in October 2011 with the humanisation of the first in class anti-midkine 
antibody hu91. The antibody engineering was carried out by Antitope Inc in Cambridge, UK. Following humanisation hu91 
was tested in a battery of in vitro assays for affinity and biological activity. In vivo animal studies have also commenced to 
identify the key therapeutic indication for clinical trials. 

Several of the group’s antibody patents have been granted during the period including the US applications for the treat-
ment of adhesion and diseases associated with the down-regulation of T-reg cells (regulatory cells that modulate immune 
responses), both using antibodies against midkine.

CAMI103 

Under this program the group is developing the midkine protein for the treatment of heart muscle damage following heart 
attack (AMI). The CAMI103 development program is a series of preclinical studies from Stage 1 to Stage 7. Following the 
completion of pharmacokinetic studies the group has spent some time refining the manufacturing process which is neces-
sary before embarking on definitive efficacy studies in large animals. 

2ND EXCELLENCE IN MIDKINE RESEARCH CONFERENCE 

One of the most important events of the period was the 2nd Excellence in Midkine Research Conference. The group was 
the  sponsor  of  the  event  which  provided  a  scientific  forum  for  close  to  70  midkine  researchers  from  twelve  countries. 
Significantly,  the  conference  demonstrated  that  midkine  has  become  a  mainstream  interest  for  researchers  in  several 
therapeutic and diagnostic areas. This in turn is likely to provide the group with commercial product opportunities given its 
extensive patent portfolio held within the area.

World class midkine research was reported during the conference on the treatment of glioblastoma, prostate cancer and 
osteoarthritis as well as novel findings on the role of midkine in neurological disorders. The group has commenced discus-
sions with individual researchers and organisations where collaboration may present a commercial opportunity. 

Financial Position

The net assets of the consolidated group are slightly up at $2,089,484 ($2,037,968 as at 30 June 2011). The directors 
believe that the group is in a stable financial position to expand and grow its current operations.

Significant Changes in the State of Affairs

During the reporting period, the group has commenced commercial sales of its évolis® hair growth products through its 
controlled entity Advangen International Pty Ltd. During its first month of commercial sales in June 2012 the group has 
received revenue of $47,000 from the supply of approximately 100 pharmacies. Information on Advangen International Pty 
Ltd is included under the heading “OTC business” above.

Subsequent  to  the  closing  of  the  reporting  period  the  group  raised  $400,000,  increasing  its  net  cash  reserves  from 
$1,050,593 to $1,450,593. In addition, the group has continued with the expansion of its pharmacy distribution as previ-
ously advised and is on track to reach the projected 400 pharmacy doors for the first twelve months of operations. 

Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies

the State.

Remuneration report

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308 (3C) of the Corporations 
Act 2001.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

A.  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

B.  Details of remuneration

C.  Service agreements

D.  Share-based compensation 

E.  Additional information

A.  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The performance of the group depends on the quality of its directors and executives.

To  prosper,  the  group  must  attract,  motivate  and  retain  highly  skilled  directors  and  executives.  To  this  end,  the  group 
embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework: 

14  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

 
•  provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives

•  establish appropriate performance hurdles in relation to variable executive remuneration.

The Board of Directors assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of directors and senior 
managers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring 
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

Remuneration structure

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  senior  manager 
remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive director remuneration 

Objective 

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the group with the ability to attract and retain direc-
tors of the highest calibre, while incurring costs that are acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

Each non-executive director receives a fixed fee for being a director of the group.

The constitution and the ASX listing Rules specify that the maximum aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors 
shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting of shareholders. At the general meeting of shareholders in 2005, 
the maximum amount set at $300,000 per annum. In 2012, the group paid non-executive directors a total of $143,349 
(2011: ($153,751).

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fixed fees paid to directors are 
reviewed annually.  The Board considers fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking 
the annual review process.

Executive remuneration 

Objective 

The group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and respon-
sibilities within the group so as to:

• 

reward executives for group and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks

•  align the interests of executives with those of shareholders

•  ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. 

Structure

A policy of the Board is the establishment of employment or consulting contracts with the CEO and other senior executives 
at the time of this report this included the CEO.

Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration under an employment or consultancy agreement and long term equity-based 
incentives that are subject to satisfaction of performance conditions. The equity-based incentives are intended to retain key 
executives and reward performance against agreed performance objectives.

Cellmid 2012 Annual Report  15

 
Directors’ Report 
Continued

Fixed remuneration

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration that is both appropriate to the position 
and competitive in the market. 

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board and the process consists of a review of group-wide and individual 
performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market, and internal and (where appropriate) external advice on 
policies and practices.

Senior  managers  are  given  the  opportunity  to  receive  their  fixed  (primary)  remuneration  in  a  variety  of  forms  including 
cash and expense payment plans, such that the manner of payment chosen is optimal for the recipient without creating 
additional cost for the group.

Remuneration policy and performance

Other than the CEO, Ms Halasz, none of the Director’s remuneration is ‘at risk’ remuneration. Refer to the table below for 
further information on Ms Halasz’s remuneration. 

B. Details of remuneration (audited)

Details of the remuneration of the directors and key management personnel of the group (as defined in AASB 124 Related 
Party Disclosures) and the highest paid executives of Cellmid Limited are set out in the following tables.

Board and Audit Committee meeting

During the financial year, the group paid a premium to insure the directors and officers of the group.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought 
against the officers in their capacity as officers of the group, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the 
officers in connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful 
breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for 
them or someone else or to cause detriment to the group. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts 
relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.  

Indemnifying Officers or Auditor

During or since the end of the financial year, the group has given an indemnity or entered into an agreement to indemnify, 
or paid or agreed to pay insurance premiums as follows:

•  a right to access certain Board papers of the group during the period of their tenure and for a period of seven years 

after that tenure ends

•  subject to the Corporation Act, an indemnity in respect of liability to persons other the group and its related bodies 
corporate that they may incur while acting in their capacity as an officer of the group or a related body corporate, except 
where that liability involves a lack of good faith and for defending certain legal proceedings, and 

• 

the requirement that the group maintain appropriate directors’ and officers’ insurance for the officer.

No liability has arisen under these indemnities as at the date of this report.

There is no indemnity cover over the Auditor during the financial year.

Proceedings on behalf of the group

During the reporting period the Group completed proceedings against the Japanese Patent Office in the High Court of 
Japan in relation to the challenge of the ruling on registration of one of its patents. The matter concluded in favour of the 
Japanese Patent Office. This had no material consequences for the Group as did not include a financial ruling.

Cellmid 2012 Annual Report  23

Corporate 
Governance Statement

Unless disclosed below, all the recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council (including 2010 amendments) 
have been applied for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2012.

Board Composition

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each director who is in office at the date of the annual report 
and their term of office are detailed in the directors’ report
The names of independent directors that have served on the Board of the group during the period are:

o  David King

o  Robin Beaumont (Resigned on 27 August 2012)

o  Graeme Kaufman (Appointed on 27 August 2012)

When determining whether a non-executive director is independent, the director must not fail any of the following materiality 
thresholds:

• 

less than 10% of group shares are held by the director and any entity or individual directly or indirectly associated with 
the director;

•  no sales are made to or purchases made from any entity or individual directly or indirectly associated with the director; 

and

•  none of the directors’ income or the income of an individual or entity directly or indirectly associated with the director is 

derived from a contract with any member of the economic entity other than income derived as a director of the entity.

Independent directors have the right to seek independent professional advice in the furtherance of their duties as directors 
at the group’s expense. Written approval must be obtained from the Chair prior to incurring any expense on behalf of the 
group.

The names of the members of the nomination committee and their attendance at meetings of the committee are detailed 
in the directors’ report.

Ethical Standards

The Board acknowledges and emphasises the importance of all directors and employees maintaining the highest stand-
ards of corporate governance practice and ethical conduct.
A code of conduct has been established requiring directors and employees to:

•  act honestly and in good faith;

•  exercise due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office;

•  avoid conflicts and make full disclosure of any possible conflict of interest;

•  comply with the law;

•  encourage the reporting and investigating of unlawful and unethical behaviour; and

•  comply with the share trading policy outlined in the code of conduct.

Directors are obliged to be independent in judgment and ensure all reasonable steps are taken to ensure due care is taken 
by the Board in making sound decisions.

Cellmid 2012 Annual Report  25

Corporate Governance 
Continued

Diversity Policy

Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The group is committed to diversity 
and recognises the benefits arising from employee and board diversity and the importance of benefiting from all available 
talent. 

The Board believes that the group benefits from this diversity.

Trading Policy

The group’s policy regarding directors and employees trading in its securities, is set by the Board. The policy restricts di-
rectors and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market and adequate time has 
been given for this to be reflected in the security’s prices.

Audit Committee

The names and qualifications of those appointed to the audit committee and their attendance at meetings of the committee 
are included in the directors’ report.

Performance Evaluation

An annual performance evaluation of the Board has not been made during the year.

Board Roles and Responsibilities

The Board is first and foremost accountable to provide value to its shareholders through delivery of timely and balanced 
disclosures.

The Board sought external guidance to assist the drafting of its “Board Governance Document” which has been made 
publicly available on the group’s website. This document details the adopted practices and processes in relation to matters 
reserved for the Board’s consideration and decision-making and specifies the level of authorisation provided to other key 
management personnel. The Board is ultimately responsible for ensuring its actions are in accordance with key corporate 
governance principles.

Shareholder Rights

Shareholders are entitled to vote on significant matters impacting on the business, which include the election and remu-
neration of directors, changes to the constitution and receipt of annual and interim financial statements. Shareholders are 
strongly encouraged to attend and participate in the Annual General Meetings of Cellmid Limited, to lodge questions to be 
responded by the Board and/or the CEO, and are able to appoint proxies.

Risk Management

The Board considers identification and management of key risks associated with the business as vital to maximise share-
holder wealth. A yearly assessment of the business’s risk profile is undertaken and reviewed by the Board, covering all 
aspects of the business from the operational level through to strategic level risks. The CEO has been delegated the task 
of implementing internal controls to identify and manage risks for which the Board provides oversight. The effectiveness of 
these controls is monitored and reviewed regularly. 

26  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

Remuneration Policies 

The group’s Remuneration Committee comprises of the following non-executive directors:

o  David King (Chair, independent);

o  Robin Beaumont (independent, resigned on 27 August 2012);

The remuneration policy, which sets the terms and conditions for the key management personnel, was developed by the 
Remuneration Committee after seeking professional advice from independent consultants and was approved by the Board. 
All executives receive a base salary, superannuation, fringe benefits, performance incentives and retirement benefits. The 
Remuneration Committee reviews executive packages annually by reference to company performance, executive perform-
ance, comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies and independent advice. The performance 
of executives is measured against criteria agreed half yearly which is based on the forecast growth of the group’s profits 
and shareholders’ value. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre executives and reward them for performance 
which results in long-term growth in shareholder value.

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

The amount of remuneration for all key management personnel for the group and the five highest paid executives, includ-
ing all monetary and non-monetary components, are detailed in the directors’ report under the heading key management 
personnel compensation. All remuneration paid to executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares 
given to executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the 
executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The Board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the group being able to attract and retain the 
best executives to run the consolidated group. It will also provide executives with the necessary incentives to work to grow 
long-term shareholder value.

The payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee annually 
as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is put to the Board for approval. All bonuses, op-
tions and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board can exercise its discretion in relation 
to approving incentives, bonuses and options and can recommend changes to the committee’s recommendations. Any 
changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria.

Remuneration Committee

The names of the members of the remuneration committee and their attendance at meetings of the committee are detailed 
in the directors’ report.

There are no schemes for retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation for non-executive directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
Continued

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  (AASB)  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as  appropriate  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These 
financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (‘IASB’).

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the group.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 August 2012.

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs,  except for certain 
non-current assets and financial instruments that are measured at re-valued amounts or fair values, as explained in the 
accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for 
assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also 
requires  management  to  exercise  its  judgement  in  the  process  of  applying  the  group’s  accounting  policies.  The  areas 
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the 
financial statements, are disclosed in Note 22.

Going Concern

The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal 
business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Based 
on anticipated levels of operational cash flow  requirements, the Consolidated Entity has  sufficient cash  to fund current 
operations for more than one year. 

a.  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Cellmid Limited 
at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Cellmid Limited has the ability and right to 
govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Total 
comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the company and to the non-controlling interests even 
if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into 
line with those used by other members of the group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. 

b.  Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision 
maker. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of 
the operating segments, is the Board of Directors.

36  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

 
 
c.  Revenue and Other Income Recognition

Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  or  receivable  after  taking  into  account  any  trade 
discounts  and  volume  rebates  allowed.  Revenue  from  the  sale  of  goods  is  recognised  at  the  point  of  delivery  as  this 
corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement 
in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Royalties determined on a time basis are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement. 

Government grants are recognised in profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the group recognises 
as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate, but not before the receipt of the grant is 
relatively certain.

d.  Income Tax

The  income  tax  expense  (revenue)  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  period’s  taxable  income  based  on 
the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, 
and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover 
or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Current  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  where  a  legally  enforceable  right  of  set-off  exists  and  it  is  intended  that  net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate 
to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where 
it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur 
in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

e.  Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, other short-term highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within short-
term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

f.  Receivable

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for doubtful 
debts.

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A 
provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect 
all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future 
cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted 
if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive 
income.

g.  Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct 
materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of 
normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are 
determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course 
of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.

h.  Fixtures and Equipment 

Fixtures and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
any accumulated impairment.  

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

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

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated 
group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter 
of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

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

Class of Fixed Asset 
Furniture and fittings 
Office equipment   

Depreciation Rate
20%
6.7–33.33%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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

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

i. 

Investments and other financial assets

The group classified its investments in the following categories: loans and receivables and available for sale financial assets. 
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the investment and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

(i)  Loans and receivables

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

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the 
end of the reporting period.

Loan and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest 
income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of 
interest would be immaterial.

38  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(ii)  Available-for-sale financial assets

Listed  shares  and  listed  redeemable  notes  held  by  the  group  that  are  traded  in  an  active  market  are  classified  as 
available-for-sale financial assets and are stated at fair value. 

Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated 
in the investments revaluation reserve. 

Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated 
in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit and loss. 

The  fair  value  of  available-for-sale  assets  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  is  determined  in  that  foreign  currency 
and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The foreign exchange gains and losses that are 
recognised in profit and loss are determined based on the amortised cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign gains 
and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.

j. 

Intangibles Other than Goodwill

Patents and trademarks

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are carried at 
cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. The group has not yet determined the useful life of 
the intangible asset due to the uncertainties of the future benefit derived from the intangible asset. There is no amortisation 
charge to the intangible assets in the 2012 Financial Year.

Research and development 

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which is incurred. 
Expenditure on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are capitalised as 
intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility 
and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs 
of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Development expenditures that do not 
meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are 
not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

k.  Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. 
The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received 
from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication 
exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher 
of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying 
amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a re-valued 
amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment 
loss of a re-valued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

l.  Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which are 
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Cellmid 2012 Annual Report  39

 
 
 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
Continued

m.  Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised 
in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 
for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

n.  Financial Instruments

The convertible notes issued by the group are treated as a financial liability, without an equity component.  They are treated 
in  this  manner  because;  they  have  multiple  settlement  alternatives  not  all  of  which  involve  the  exchange  of  equity,  the 
number of shares to be issued is unknown at the time of issue and the conversion is at the option of the note holder not 
the group.

o.  Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is 
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting 
period.

p.  Employee Benefits 

Provision is made for the group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of 
the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within the income year have been measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than 12 months of the reporting 
date have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In 
determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wages increases and the probability that the employee may 
satisfy vesting requirements. 

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liability for wages and salaries, including non monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be 
settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the 
reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Long service leave

Liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of 
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the 
projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures and period of service

Retirement  benefit obligations

Contributions to the defined contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions 
are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payment is available. Contributions 
are paid into the fund nominated by the employee.

Share-based payments

The fair value of options granted is recognised as a benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is 
measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the directors and executives become unconditionally 
entitled to the options.

40  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

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

The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non 
market vesting conditions. Non market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are 
expected to become exercisable. The benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.

Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to 
share capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital.

q.  Equity-settled compensation

The group operates an employee share ownership plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair 
value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods.  Share-based payments to non-employees are 
measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined 
the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are 
received.  The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve.  The fair value of options is determined using the 
binominal pricing model.  The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each 
reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted 
is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to 
share capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital. 

r.  Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment 
in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent 
entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the 
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured 
at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured 
at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in 
equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-monetary  items  are  recognised  directly  in  other  comprehensive 
income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange 
difference is recognised in profit or loss.

s.  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 Taxation Office (ATO).  

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 
which  are  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  are  presented  as  operating  cash  flows  included  in  receipts  from 
customers or payments to suppliers.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
Continued

t.  Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and 
all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to 
match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value 
and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. 

u.  Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation 
for the current financial year. 

Where the group has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement of items in the financial 
statements or reclassified items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning 
of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

v.  Rounding of Amounts

The  parent  entity  has  applied  the  relief  available  to  it  under  ASIC  Class  Order  98/100  and  accordingly,  amounts  in  the 
financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1.

w.  New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates 
for future reporting periods and which the group has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements 
as they apply to the group and their impact on the group is as follows:

–  AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or 

after 1 January 2013).

This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement 
of financial instruments, as well as recognition and de-recognition requirements for financial instruments. The group 
has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements.

However, initial indications are that it may affect the group’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since 
AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to 
equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, 
for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss. In the current reporting period, the group 
recognised $7,090 of impairment loss in the statement of comprehensive income. The group has not yet decided 
when to adopt AASB 9.

–   AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements

This  Standard  gives  effect  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Reduced  Disclosure  Requirements.  AASB  1053 
provides further information regarding the differential reporting framework and the two tiers of reporting requirements 
for preparing general purpose financial statements.

–   AASB  2010-8  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Deferred  Tax:  Recovery  of  Underlying 

Assets [AASB 112] 

The amendments provide a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when 
investment  property is measured using the fair  value model in AASB 140  Investment  Property.  Under AASB  112, 
the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to recover 
an asset by using it or by selling it. However, it is often difficult and subjective to determine the expected manner of 
recovery when the investment property is measured using the fair value model in AASB 140.

42  Cellmid 2012 Annual Report

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To provide a practical approach in such cases, the amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property 
is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business 
model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property 
over time, rather than through sale.

Interpretation 121 Income Taxes – Recovery of Re-valued Non-Depreciable Assets addresses similar issues involving 
non-depreciable  assets  measured  using  the  revaluation  model  in  AASB  116  Property,  Plant  and  Equipment.  The 
amendments  incorporate  Interpretation  121  into  AASB  112  after  excluding  investment  property  measured  at  fair 
value from the scope of the guidance previously contained in Interpretation 121.

–   AASB  2011-4  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  to  Remove  Individual  Key  Management 

Personnel Disclosure Requirements [AASB 124]

This Standard makes amendments to Australian Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures.
These amendments arise from a decision of the AASB to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) 
disclosures from AASB 124 on the basis they:
• 

are  not  part  of  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs),  which  include  requirements  to  disclose 
aggregate (rather than individual) amounts of KMP compensation;

• 

• 

are not included in New Zealand accounting standards and, accordingly, their removal is consistent with meeting 
the 2010 Outcome Proposal of the Australian and New Zealand governments that for-profit entities are able to use 
a single set of accounting standards and prepare only one set of financial statements;

are considered by the AASB to be more in the nature of governance disclosures that are better dealt with as part 
of the Corporations Act 2001;

•  were originally included in AASB 124 when fewer similar disclosure requirements were included in the Corporations 
Act and, in many respects, relate to similar disclosure requirements currently in that Act and therefore detract from 
the clarity of the requirements applying in this area; and

• 

could be considered (during the transition period for this Amending Standard) for inclusion in the Corporations 
Act or other legislation to the extent they presently go beyond the requirements in legislation and are considered 
appropriate in light of government policy.

Options

Options granted to executives and directors are considered to be potential ordinary shares and have been included in the 
determination of diluted earnings per share to the extent to which they are dilutive. In the year ended 30 June 2012, these 
options were in fact anti-dilutive, and consequently diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS. The options have not been 
included in the determination of basic earnings per share. Details relating to the options are set out in Note19.

Each loan has a repayment term of 5 years. The conversion price is the lesser of the price calculated as a 20% discount to 
the three lowest daily volume weighted average sales prices of the Company’s shares during the 21 days before conversion 
or AU$0.09 (for notes issued in the first 12 months) and AU$0.15 (for notes issued afterwards).

Conversion will generally be at the note holders’ option except in the event that on the conversion date the Company’s 
shares trade below a floor price of AU$0.025. In this instance Cellmid may elect to repay the face value of the Note plus a 
5% premium.

Interest expenses on convertible note is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 4.75% (2011 4.75%) to the 
liability component. The loans were fully repaid during the 2012 income year.

NOTE 22: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under 
the circumstances. 

a.  Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, 
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. 

i. 

Estimated impairment of intellectual property

The group tests annually whether intellectual property has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting 
policy stated in note 1. The recoverable amounts of the intellectual property have been determined based on reviewing the 
status of the research and development program, progress on its patent applications and projected cash flow calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions.

NOTE 23: EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2012 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

–  The group’s operation in future financial years

–  The results of those operation in future financial years or

–  The group’s state of affairs in future financial years.  

–  The  group  completed  a  capital  raising  by  the  issuing  of  24,242,424  shares  for  a  consideration  of  $400,000  on  

27 July 2012.

NOTE 25: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The group’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks as described below. The group’s overall risk management 
program seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group.  To date, the group has 
not had the need to utilise derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts or interest rate swaps to 
manage any risk exposures identified. 

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the 
accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:

Financial assets

Cash and cash equivalents

Loans and receivables

a. Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. The group has no significant concentration of credit risk.

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period is 
equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the 
table above. 

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality.  

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the FRMC in accordance 
with approved board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a 
Standard & Poor’s rating of at least AA-. 

b. Liquidity risk

The group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

–  preparing forward-looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;

–  managing credit risk related to financial assets;

–  only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions

The group is not exposed to any material liquidity risk.

b. Liquidity risk (continued)

The table below analyse the group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual 
maturities for:

(a)   all non-derivative financial liabilities

(b)  net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an 
understanding of the timing of the cash flows.

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months 
equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating 
due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the group holds financial instruments which are 
other than the AUD functional currency of the group.
The group has no significant concentration of foreign exchange risk. The maximum exposure to foreign exchange 
risk is the fluctuation in the US dollar on its USD denominated bank account. 

Price risk

The group is not exposed to any material price risk.
