Chairman’s
Letter

Dear Shareholders,

It is my pleasure to present to you the 2016 Annual 
Report.

The Company has continued to make good progress 
in  both  the  midkine-related  and  consumer  health 
operating divisions, as evidenced by strong revenue 
growth across all segments. The consumer health 
division  (Advangen)  has  shown  revenue  growth  of 
65%,  with  especially  strong  sales  in  Japan.  With 
the  expansion  of  both  the  product  range  and  the 
distribution footprint, we remain confident of further 
strong growth in the current year.

The  midkine  (MK)  division  was  streamlined  during 
the  year  with  the  formation  of  separate  subsidiary 
companies  Lyramid  and  Kinera,  focusing  on  target 
indications  for  midkine  antibodies  (Lyramid)  and 
protein  (Kinera)  respectively.  While  progress  in 
the  commercialisation  of  the  MK  antibody  and 
protein  assets  continues  to  be  driven  by  highly 
cost  effective  collaborations  with  a  wide  range 
of  scientists  and  laboratories  around  the  world, 
these  dedicated  subsidiaries,  each  with  a  clear 
therapeutic  development  focus,  provide  increased 
flexibility  for  the  Company  in  the  challenge  of 
funding the ambitious clinical development plans.

In April this year, the Company co-hosted its fourth 
successful  Midkine  Symposium.  The  range  and 
quality of our MK collaborations is clearly evidenced 
by  the  results  presented  at  this  invitation  only 
meeting  in  Budapest,  Hungary.  I  recommend  to 
shareholders  the  interviews  with  some  of  our  key 
collaborators  which  we  released  on  the  ASX  late 

in  June.  Important  new  results  presented  at  the 
meeting have contributed to our commercialisation 
focus for MK antibodies on fibrosis, chronic kidney 
disease  and  associated  conditions;  and  for  MK 
protein on heart failure and chronic heart conditions.

The Company’s strong MK patent portfolio underpins 
the  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  initiatives  around 
midkine. There were two important additions to the 
patent  portfolio  during  the  year.  In  late  November 
2015, a Japanese patent was granted for the use 
of MK to prevent and treat hair loss, and to promote 
and enhance hair growth; an important addition to 
the Company’s hair growth asset portfolio. Around 
the  same  time,  a  key  US  antibody  patent  was 
granted  entitled  “Antibody  recognising  C-Domain 
of  midkine  with  claims  in  important  disease  areas 
such as cancer, inflammation and autoimmunity. 

Also  with  regard  to  the  patent  portfolio,  a  patent 
application  was  filed  to  secure  the  intellectual 
property  for  the  application  of  the  Company’s 
antibodies in bone therapy. This application followed 
collaborative  research  in  Germany  showing  for 
the  first  time  that  treatment  with  a  MK  antibody 
accelerated bone fracture healing in an aged rodent 
model of the condition.

As  with  last  year,  developments  in  our  consumer 
health  division 
(Advangen)  have  continued  to 
gain  pace.  Advangen  has  established  itself  as  a 
market  leader  in  clinically  validated  topical  hair 
loss  treatments,  having  developed  a  novel  range 
of  hair  growth  products  based  on  the  Company’s 

 4 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

proprietary FGF5 inhibitor technology. Marketing of 
the  products  on  TV  and  digital  media  in  Australia 
started in earnest during the year. With the launch in 
June of the evolis® Professional range of anti-aging 
hair  care  products  for  salons,  we  expect  to  see 
significant  penetration  of  this  important  market 
sector.

Internationally,  sales  grew  strongly  in  Japan,  with 
one  month  sales  in  April  delivering  a  record  net 
revenue  in  excess  of  $558,000.  And  shortly  after 
the  end  of  the  financial  year,  the  Company  was 
successful  in  securing  a  distribution  partnership 
with  Colour  Collective,  a  well-credentialed  Dallas 
based  specialist  in  the  launch  of  high  end  hair 
brands in the USA. This important US partnership 
is expected to significantly accelerate the route to 
this US$3.5 billion hair loss market. The road ahead 
for Advangen is indeed an exciting one.

Further  details  on  all  the  significant  developments 
referred to above can be found in the report of our 
CEO, Maria Halasz.

important  additions 

There  have  been 
to  our 
professional team during the year. In July 2015, Dr 
Bryce Vissel, a leading researcher then at the Garvan 
Institute,  was  appointed  to  Chair  the  Company’s 
important Scientific Advisory Board, in which role he 
has made a significant contribution to developing the 
clinical  strategy  for  MK.  (Dr  Vissel  was  in  May  this 
year appointed as Professor of Neurosciences at the 
University of Technology, Sydney, a recognition of his 
outstanding research credentials). 

In July 2015, Dr Fintan Walton, founder and CEO of 
UK based corporate advisory firm PharmaVentures 
Ltd,  joined  the  board,  bringing  to  it  his  invaluable 
33  years’  experience  in  the  global  pharmaceutical 
and biotechnology sector. Also in July 2015, Bruce 
Gordon,  with  35  years  of  audit  and  corporate 
finance  experience,  joined  the  board.  Since  their 
appointment  the  directors  have  been  actively 
contributing  to  the  strategic  direction  of  the 
Company. 

The  strong  performance  of  the  businesses  in  the 
year  in  review  bears  witness  to  the  exceptional 
work,  dedication  and  professionalism  of  our  small 
but  highly  committed  team  at  Cellmid,  ably  led 
by  CEO  Maria  Halasz.  While  the  company  has 
continued to grow its businesses and substantially 
met its planning milestones, the only disappointing 
note  is  that  the  Company’s  share  price  has  not 
reflected its successes.

I take this opportunity to thank all shareholders for 
their support throughout the year.

CEO
Report

Dear Shareholders,

It is my pleasure to report to you on this 2016 financial year, 
a  period  of  strategic  developments  and  growth  for  Cellmid. 
Sales  records  have  been  broken  by  our  talented  team  and 
important milestones met. 

exceeding  revenue  expectations.  In  Australia,  Advangen 
International  performed  to  expectation  after  a  reduced 
advertising  budget,  which  was  redirected  towards  an  early 
USA product roll out.

In  a  critical  strategic  milestone,  Cellmid  transitioned  from  a 
single  operational  entity,  to  three  wholly  owned  subsidiaries. 
Lyramid  Limited  and  Kinera  Limited  have  been  set  up  to 
develop our midkine (MK) intellectual property in a number of 
clinical  indications  including  chronic  kidney  disease,  cancer 
and  ischemic  conditions  of  the  heart  and  brain.  Advangen 
Limited is the holding company for the development and sale 
of our FGF5 inhibitor hair loss products globally. 

The dedicated subsidiaries, Lyramid, Kinera and Advangen, 
have clear therapeutic and commercial focus, hence present 
targeted  investment  opportunities  for  specialist  investors. 
The  subsidiaries  have  their  own  product  development  and 
cost centres improving transparency in preparation for such 
investment. They are eligible for funding from venture capital, 
government or private investment otherwise not available to 
Cellmid. Investment directly into these subsidiaries will also 
limit dilution while Cellmid shareholders will benefit from the 
potential upside.

The financial performance of the company was the best yet, 
as sales revenue increased in Australia and Japan to a record 
$3,120,367.  For  the  first  time  in  any  full  financial  year  our 
Japanese  subsidiary,  Advangen  Inc.,  has  become  profitable 

Overall  sales  revenue  has  increased  171%  since  acquisition 
of  Advangen  Inc.  Following  the  2015  commercial  launch  in 
Australia  we  sold  almost  $1.5  million  of  evolis®  products, 
wholesale,  representing  just  under  $3  million  in  retail  sales 
value. As far as pharmacy hair loss products are concerned 
we have definitely arrived and are second only to Regain®, a 
30-year-old brand with big pharma ownership.

The financial performance since 2014 is summarised in Table 1 
below. Whilst the strong revenue growth is obvious during the 
period it is also important to note that we have continued to 
build value in our midkine portfolio through increased research 
and  development.  This  value  is  currently  not  recognised  by 
the  markets,  however  once  our  midkine  therapeutics  enter 
clinical development this is expected to change. 

We continued to improve our income/expenditure ratio from 
38%  in  2014  to  57%  in  2016.  We  continue  to  rely  less  and 
less on new issues of securities, and more on revenue for our 
activities and that includes research and development (R&D) 
expenditure incurred in Lyramid and Kinera. 

With the new corporate structure in place we expect to improve 
clarity  on  the  performance  of  our  subsidiaries.  Our  target  is

to achieve profitability for our consumer health businesses in 
the various regions, like Advangen Inc., in Japan, which has 
become profitable three years after its acquisition. 

On  the  capital  raising  front,  we  placed  133,333,333  shares 
at  3  cents  each  to  sophisticated  investors,  and  raised  $4 
million, in August 2015. In addition to increasing revenues the 
Company has been deploying this capital prudently increasing 
the underlying net assets. 

We  continue  to  leverage  our  MK  reagents,  including  the 
MK  protein,  antibodies  and  MK-ELISA,  to  access  research 
capabilities  with  global  experts  in  a  number  of  therapeutic 
fields,  including  glioblastoma,  kidney  disease,  bone  healing, 
cardiovascular research and programs in various inflammatory 
conditions.  These  high  value  research  collaborations  would 
simply be impossible without our MK assets.

LYRaMiD Limited – MK antibody and diagnostic 
Programs

Several  of  our  pre-clinical  collaborations  delivered  results 
this  financial  year,  some  of  which  are  yet  to  be  published. 
Significantly, MK’s mechanism of action was further elucidated 
through these important findings. 

Professor  Guillermo  Valesco’s  group  at  Complutense 
University  in  Madrid  has  been  working  on  a  large  in  vitro 
and  preclinical  study.  Early  results  showed  efficacy  for  two 
of Cellmid’s antibodies in cannabinoid resistant glioblastoma 
cell lines supressing their growth. These antibodies have been 
further tested in animal models of the disease and results are 
due to be released in FY2017. The results will be instructive for 
Cellmid’s further clinical plans and commercial collaborations.

Dr Astrid Liedert at the University of Ulm completed her bone 
fracture  healing  study  using  Cellmid’s  N-terminal  binding 
antibodies and has been able to demonstrate enhanced bone 
fracture healing in ovariectomised mice. These in vivo studies 
mimic the biology of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women 
and are representative of the delayed bone healing that occurs 
in this population. This data added to previous findings where 
Dr Liedert has shown improved bone healing using Cellmid’s 
N-terminal  binding  antibodies  in  otherwise  healthy  mouse. 
Important further work is currently planned on the basis of this 
study with research collaborators in Australia.

The  year  has  been  significant  for  not  only  delivering  study 
results 
that  brought  clarity  on  MK  biology,  structure, 
mechanism of action and clinical utility, we have also engaged 
with  senior  researchers  and  opinion  leaders  in  a  number  of 
disease indications.

Early  in  FY2016  we  appointed  Professor  Bryce  Vissel  to 
Chair  Cellmid’s  Scientific  Advisory  Board.  At  the  time  of  his 
appointment Dr Vissel was the Head of the Neurodegenerative 
Diseases  research  group  at  the  Garvan  Institute  of  Medical 
Research as well as Conjoint Senior Lecturer at St Vincent’s 
Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, University of NSW. In May 
2016, Dr Vissel was appointed Professor of Neurosciences at 
the University of Technology Sydney, currently leading a team 
of scientists in a world class research initiative in regenerative 
medicine,  including  Alzheimer’s  and  Parkinson’s  disease, 
spinal cord disorders and neuropsychiatric conditions. 

Professor Vissel has made a significant contribution to Cellmid 
since  joining  as  Chair  of  the  Company’s  Scientific  Advisory 
Board in 2015. He has been instrumental in the development 
of the research and development strategy for MK, crystallised 
within  two  of  the  Company’s  wholly-owned  subsidiaries, 
Lyramid and Kinera.

In  addition  to  the  therapeutic  development,  several  MK 
diagnostic  collaborations  reported  results  in  FY2016.  Clinical 
collaboration  with  Cellmid’s  nephrologist  adviser,  Dr  Victoria 
Campbell, showed early evidence that MK may be an important 
marker of chronic kidney disease. This collaboration involves 
several clinical centres in Australia and is expected to continue 
supporting the nephropathy related therapeutic work. 

Cellmid currently has three commercial deals with diagnostic 
companies;  the  Pacific  Edge  Limited  license  for  bladder 
cancer, the Celera-Quest license for lung cancer, and supply 
and license agreement with Fujikura Kasei. It is important to 
note that Cellmid spends no funds on this business other than 
maintaining the patents, whilst all of these agreements have 
delivered revenue to the Company. 

Cellmid signed a license agreement with Pacific Edge Limited 
in 2010 for the use of MK as one of the biomarkers in their 
bladder  cancer  test  (Cxbladder®).  Pacific  Edge  commenced 
sales  using  its  CLIA1  registered  Pennsylvania  labs  in  2013, 
and have since launched other products (CxBladder® Triage 
and  CxBladder®  Monitor)  in  its  bladder  cancer  detection, 
prognostic and disease management suite.

Cellmid 2016 Annual Report  7

CEO Report 
Continued

Pacific  Edge  increased  its  operating  revenue  from  $1.9 
million in 2015 to $4.9 million in 2016 (162% increase). This 
growth was assisted by a number of provider agreements for 
Cxbladder® including Veteran’s Administration and the Centre 
for Medicare and Medicaid in the USA. 

MK contributes, as one of five markers, to the performance of 
Cxbladder® in clinical studies with 100% sensitivity and 85% 
specificity  in  late  stage  bladder  cancer.  With  reimbursement 
and  strong  clinical  performance,  CxBladder®  is  becoming 
a  feasible  replacement  to  cystoscopy,  a  painful  urethral 
endoscopy. 

Cellmid  signed  a  license  agreement  with  Celera-Quest  in 
October  2009  enabling  Celera-Quest  to  include  MK  as 
one  of  the  biomarkers  in  a  lung  cancer  diagnostic  test.  The 
license  covers  using  MK  for  the  early  diagnosis,  prognosis, 
disease monitoring and management of lung cancer. Cellmid 
received  an  upfront  payment  at  the  time  of  signing  and  the 
license provides for a further milestone payment at the time of 
regulatory clearance for the lung cancer test, and royalties to 
be paid semi-annually once the product is sold. 

It is worthwhile to note that developing accurate diagnostic 
tests  takes  many  years  and  a  significant  investment  often 
exceeding tens of millions of dollars. Celera-Quest has been 
conducting clinical studies and published these in scientific 
journals  since  the  signing  of  the  license,  however,  Cellmid 
has  not  received  a  report  during  FY2016  on  the  progress 
of  this  program.  There  has  been  no  change  to  the  license 
agreement and Cellmid will continue to seek an update from 
Celera-Quest. 

Fujikura  Kasei  exercised  its  option  to  license  Cellmid’s  MK 
diagnostic  patents  for  Japan  in  2014  and  has  been  actively 
progressing  the  assay  development  on  its  latex  platform. 
Concurrently,  the  MK  cancer  diagnostic  clinical  study  is 
ongoing and Cellmid has been assisting in the development 
work.  Fujikura  Kasei  is  using  their  latex  based  MK  assay, 
which  is  expected  to  suit  commercial  production  due  to  its 
low cost and has wide acceptability in pathology laboratories.

KineRa LiMiTeD – MK program for the treatment of 
ischemic conditions

Kinera  has  been  set  up  to  commercially  exploit  Cellmid’s 
patents for the treatment and prevention of ischemia related 
tissue  injury  by  using  the  MK  protein  as  therapeutic  agent. 
MK’s potential as a cell protectant in tissues under stress as 
well as in wound healing has been demonstrated previously in 

 8 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

several animal studies and the Kinera team has been actively 
developing a clinical path for the drug. 

The  process  development  for  the  GMP  manufacture  of  MK 
was  originally  carried  out  by  Lonza  using  expression  by 
Pichia  pastoris.  This  has  since  been  successfully  scaled 
up  by  Kinera’s  planned  GMP  manufacturing  partner. 
Pharmacokinetic  studies  confirmed  availability  of  biologically 
active  MK  in  multiple  species  and  pharmacodynamic  and 
toxicity studies are expected once funding is secured for the 
program. 

aDVanGen LiMiTeD - strong revenue growth in  FY2016

Advangen Limited was set up to commercialise Cellmid’s FGF5 
inhibitor and MK hair loss technologies after the acquisition of 
Advangen Inc., Japan in May 2013. Since then, revenue in the 
business  increased  by  171%  and  Advangen  Japan  became 
profitable in FY2016. 

Advangen currently sells its products, under the brands evolis®, 
Jo-Ju® and Lexilis®, primarily in Japan and Australia, and has 
been  negotiating  partnership  and  distribution  agreements  in 
other countries. Revenue growth is expected to continue from 
existing markets, however the most significant upside is likely 
to result from the launch of the evolis® brand in the US and 
other markets.

Advangen  relies  on  sophisticated  technology  to  remain  at 
the  cutting  edge  of  hair  science.  Its  products  inhibit  FGF5, 
a  naturally  occurring  protein  that  has  been  recognised  as 
the key regulator of the human hair cycle. An overexpression 
of  FGF5  causes  hair  follicles  to  enter  a  phase  where  the 
hair  falls  out.  Cellmid,  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary, 
Advangen, is the first and still the only company in the world 
with a clinically validated FGF5 inhibitor hair growth product 
on the market. 

We  have  been  able  to  improve  on  the  seasonal  variations 
in  our  product  sales  and  in  FY2016  only  58%  of  our  sales 
came  from  the  second  half  of  the  year,  compared  with 
FY2015 when 70% of the total sales occurred during the last 
six months. Whilst there is a distinct seasonality for hair loss 
product sales on the market, we have been able to manage 
this and even out sales with well-planned campaigns.

aDVanGen inC. – The Japanese business became 
profitable in FY2016 on the back of $2.15 million in 
revenue

The Advangen sales staff has been fully trained and accredited 
during the FY2016, as hair specialists, in preparation for the 
launch. 

Our  Japanese  Managing  Director,  Koichiro  Koike,  and  his 
team  achieved  outstanding  sales  results  exceeding  their 
targets for FY2016. Not only they delivered sales growth but 
improved profitability. 

Broadening the existing distribution channels has been one of 
the key objectives for the Japanese business in FY2016. As a 
result, we now have five sales channels including TV shopping, 
retail,  salon,  website  and  private  label.  We  have  increased 
sales in each of the channels with the most significant revenue 
coming  from  TV  shopping  through  the  company’s  alliance 
with QVC. Sales from TV shopping have almost doubled since 
FY2015. 

FY2016  was  the  first  full  year  for  Advangen  Inc.  with  QVC, 
the largest TV shopping channel in Japan. During the year we 
captured around 25,000 customers, some of them becoming 
our loyal, repeat purchase clients. 

For  our  wholesale  business  a  70%  gross  margin  remains 
the  target  for  FY2017,  even  in  private  label,  where  we  have 
commenced  discussions  with  potential  new  partners  during 
the year. 

Japan has also been important as a launching pad for some 
of the export discussions in markets including China. Several 
potential  distribution  partnerships  are  under  negotiation  in 
these markets, focused on the products with existing import 
permits and branded Jo-Ju® and Lexilis®.

Advangen’s Japanese team has focused resources on building 
sales  in  the  TV  shopping  channel  QVC,  and  developing  the 
business plan for an evolis® concept store. Website sales have 
also increased, but these represented a very small component 
of  the  total  revenue  in  FY2016.  There  is  significant  growth 
opportunity  in  this  channel  which  will  be  further  explored 
during FY2017.

aDVanGen inTeRnaTiOnaL – increased australian 
sales and ready for the usa launch

In  Australia,  the  main  sales  channel  remained  pharmacy  in 
FY2016, whilst our website sales increased steadily through 
digital and social marketing to contribute to the $812K sales 
(excluding GST).

In  addition  to  the  team  representing  the  brand  to  general 
practitioners, a contract pharmacy sales force serviced pharmacies 
from  September  2015  to  coincide  with  a  national  advertising 
campaign  launched  at  the  same  time.  This  campaign  was  cut 
back significantly in October 2015 and the funds redirected to the 
preparation for the USA launch of the evolis® brand. 

Concurrently,  a  number  of  USA  distribution  channels  and 
arrangements were evaluated and a partnership was formed 
with Colour Collective in July 2016, a firm specialising in the 
launch  of  hair  products,  providing  momentum  to  the  most 
significant commercial opportunity for Advangen globally. 

The  halt  in  advertising  meant  that  by  November  2015  we 
revised down Australian internal sales projections for FY2016, 
hence the increase of almost 30% in sales was a great result. 
In a significant long term investment for the business we have 
successfully  transitioned  the  contract  pharmacy  sales  force 
and  built  our  own  dedicated  team  of  professionals  during 
the last quarter of FY2016 which has started to show results 
through increased sell-through, better product education and 
greater brand awareness in pharmacies.

The  évolis®  Professional  range  was  launched  into  salons  in 
June  2016  to  enthusiastic  reception.  The  products  will  be 
tested in the market during the first half of FY2017 and a full 
commercial launch planned subsequently. 

The majority of the Japanese sales, 95%, came from just four 
products in FY2016; two tonics and two shampoos. Launching 
new products, such as eyelash and eyebrow growth lotions, 
represent yet another significant growth opportunity in Japan.

The evolis® Professional haircare range addresses anti-aging, 
volume  and  colour  protection  in  addition  to  hair  loss.  Once 
launched  nationally,  the  range  is  expected  to  contribute 
significantly to the Australian revenues. 

Perhaps  even  more  significant  in  the  medium  term,  the 
Japanese  business  plan  also  includes  an  evolis®  concept 
store,  with  an  expected  launch  date  in  the  second  half  of 
FY2017. Products sold at the store will be fully aligned with 
the US évolis®  branded lotions, shampoos and conditioners. 

Website sales increased during the year markedly, especially 
after  investing  into  a  small  in-house  digital  marketing  team. 
Trial  campaigns  launched  during  the  last  quarter  of  FY2016 
illustrated the power of social and digital marketing and we will 
continue to build on this momentum in FY2017.

Continued

During  the  2016  financial  year  we  have  spent  significant 
resources  on  developing  our  US  products.  We  have 
reformulated  and  reduced  alcohol  content  in  our  tonics  to 
make them more market friendly in the USA. We have added 
organic,  natural  anti-oxidants  to  cater  for  scalp  health  and 
created vegan and gluten free alternatives for those increasing 
number of discerning customers that demand these qualities 
in their products.

The  USA  hair  loss  market  is  estimated  at  US$3.5  billion 
annually  and  growing.  The  most  significant  topical  products 
have minoxidil as active ingredient. Minoxidil has been tested 
in clinical trials, but it is recommended mostly for men, due to 
some of the unwanted side effects. Advangen has an exciting 
opportunity  with  evolis®,  which  is  also  clinically  proven,  but 
can be used safely by women with hair loss and/or hair quality 
concerns. 

In  Australia  significantly  more  products  are  sold  to  women 
than  men  in  pharmacies  and  online.  If  a  similar  trend  is 
observed in the USA the market could be several times that of 
the minoxidil based products. It will also be instructive for our 
global ambitions for the brand. 

its  advertising  agency, 

Advangen’s  contract  with 
Ikon 
Communications,  has  been  the  subject  of  a  dispute  during 
FY2016. The dispute arose during October 2015 as a result of 
several irregularities detected in Ikon’s conduct. Furthermore, 
in  our  view,  they  have  delivered  a  totally  unsatisfactory 
advertising campaign. 

According  to  our  expert  advice  the  ads  produced  by  Ikon 
missed the creative brief and campaign objective entirely and 
some  of  the  ads  booked  were  inappropriate  for  the  target 
audience of 35 plus women. 

As soon the irregularities were detected all advertising activity 
was  stopped  with  Ikon.  The  numerous  attempts  to  resolve 
the  dispute  yielded  no  success  and  Ikon  commenced  legal 
proceedings on 22 July 2016. As we are now in legal dispute, 
we  are  not  able  to  provide  any  further  details  other  than  a 
vigorous defence and cross-claim has since been filed. 

Since  our  relationship  with  Ikon  has  ended,  we  have  been 
working  with  a  fully  transparent  advertising  agency  who 
has  delivered  very  successful  campaigns  including  two 
appearances at Studio 10 and a national advertising program 
featuring brand ambassador Paula Duncan. 

The results achieved during FY2016 in Australia and in Japan 
demonstrate our strong capabilities that will underpin the launch 
of evolis® in global markets, most immediately in the USA. 

 10 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

PaTenT PORTFOLiO uPDaTe

Cellmid  has  the  most  significant  intellectual  property  assets 
related to MK worldwide. At the time of writing this report the 
patent portfolio includes 83 patents in 20 patent families, 69 
granted patents, 7 applications under examination and 7 new 
filings. The patents cover the use of MK and anti-MK agents 
for therapeutic purposes in a number of diseases, the use of 
MK as a diagnostic marker in cancer and other disorders and 
the Company’s novel FGF5 inhibitors.

Two new patents have been granted during the period. The 
Japanese Patent Office granted the application relating to the 
use of MK for the treatment of hair loss in November 2015. 
This  adds  significantly  to  the  value  of  our  hair  loss  assets 
and provides a pipeline opportunity in our drug development 
portfolio. 

The  US  patent  entitled  “Antibody  recognising  C-Domain  of 
MK”  was  allowed  in  November  2015.  The  granted  claims 
provide  broad  coverage  as  they  relate  to  antibodies  and 
antibody  fragments  which  bind  to  the  important  functional 
C-domain  of  growth  factor  MK.  This  is  an  important  patent 
as it gives the Company clear, exclusive rights to develop MK 
antibodies  unencumbered  by  competition.  Cellmid’s  patent 
coverage  for  its  therapeutic  antibodies  now  extends  across 
cancer,  inflammatory  and  autoimmune  diseases,  multiple 
sclerosis and surgical adhesion. 

4th MiDKine sYMPOsiuM – the place for ideas and 
innovation on MK 

In  what  has  become  the  pre-eminent  biennial  scientific 
meeting amongst MK researchers the 4th Midkine Symposium 
was held in April 2016 in Budapest, Hungary. Previously held 
in Sydney in 2010, Istanbul in 2012 and Kyoto in 2014, the 
Budapest  meeting  attracted  scientists,  representatives  from 
some  of  our  commercial  partners  and  well  known  industry 
figures from ten countries. 

The symposia are significant for several reasons, not the least 
as these, as far as we know, are the only meetings organised 
by  a  company  with  independent  scientists  researching  a 
single disease target. It represents unparalleled collaboration 
between industry and scientists from universities and research 
institutes,  bridging  the  divide  between  the  two  far  ends  of 
medical innovation for better clinical outcomes.

As  our  MK  programs  are  approaching  clinical  development 
the meeting reached consensus that an adaptive pathway for 

clinical  validation  should  be  available  for  MK  antibodies.  In 
general  terms  the  adaptive  development  pathway  is  based 
on three principles. Firstly, it allows for iterative development 
starting with a restricted patient population then expanding 
the  patient  numbers  later.  Conditional  early  approval  then 
leads  to  data  generation  from  real  use  which  is  expected 
to  supplement  clinical  trial  data.  Finally,  it  will  require  early 
involvement  of  patients  and  health  technology  assessment 
bodies in discussions on a medicine’s development.

This  would  be  particularly  applicable  for  using  MK  based 
therapies  in  areas  of  high  unmet  medical  need  where  it  is 
difficult to collect data via traditional routes and where  large 
clinical  trials  would  mean  that  patients  who  are  unlikely  to 
respond  would  be  unnecessarily  exposed.  This  approach 
builds  on  regulatory  processes  already  in  place  within  the 
existing  legal  framework,  so  would  fit  in  with  requirements 
of  most  regulatory  agencies.  The 
for  MK 
therapies  is  that  it  would  allow  faster  route  to  patients  and 
commercialisation. 

importance 

In  addition  to  practical  assessment  of  a  clinical  path  for 
MK  therapies,  several  presentations  were  made  under 
confidentiality during the working sessions. Emerging evidence 
was  presented  on  MK’s  importance  in  inter-organ  signalling 
in  a  number  of  diseases.  This  means  that  targeting  MK  is 
one  of  the  very  few  novel  approaches  for  the  management 
of complex metabolic and cardiovascular diseases including 
chronic kidney disease. Studies on MK biology, mechanism of 
action and clinical utility were also presented, with promising 
data  on  the  therapeutic  potential  of  Cellmid’s  own  drug 
candidates. 

Dr Ulrich Grabmaier from Ludwig Maximilians University in 
Munich presented his work on Cellmid’s C and N-terminal 
binding  MK  antibodies  in  a  mouse  model  of  myocarditis 
for  their  ability  to  attenuate  disease.  N-terminal  binding 
MK  antibodies  showed  marked  efficacy  in  the  model  not 
only  pointing  to  a  novel  potential  clinical  application  in 
myocarditis  but  also  demonstrating  the  difference  in  the 
mechanism  of  action  between  the  two  MK  antibodies. 
This important information on MK biology is instructive for 
future studies and further collaboration is expected with the 
Munich based group.

Professor  Guillermo  Velasco  from  Complutense  University  in 
Madrid, Spain has shown tumour suppressing ability for two 
of Cellmid’s MK antibodies in glioblastoma cell lines resistant 
to  cannabinoid  treatment.  Further  work  is  approaching 
completion on Cellmid’s C and N-terminal binding antibodies 
in animal models of the disease.

Cellmid’s  N-terminal  binding  MK  antibody  enhanced  bone 
fracture  healing  in  ovariectomised  mice  in  an  in  vivo  study 
conducted by Dr Astrid Liedert from the University of Ulm in 
Germany.  The  model  mimics  the  biology  of  osteoporosis  in 
post-menopausal  women  and  representative  of  the  delayed 
bone  healing  that  occurs  in  this  population.  This  work  has 
since been published by Dr Liedert in PLoS One. 

Professor  Xu  Wang  from  Arizona  State  University  and  Dr 
Pedro  Nieto  of  University  of  Autonoma  in  Madrid  presented 
new  insights  into  the  structure  of  MK’s  binding  with 
glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and how it may affect biological 
function. Further collaboration is expected with both groups. 

Whilst  focused  mainly  on  MK  therapies,  human  diagnostic 
work was presented by three separate groups showing further 
understanding on MK levels in urine in prostate and bladder 
cancer, as well as in patients with acute and chronic kidney 
disease.  Cellmid’s  clinical  adviser,  Dr  Victoria  Campbell  has 
shown early evidence that MK may be an important marker of 
chronic kidney disease.

In  what  has  been  a  truly  rewarding  year  we  closed  FY2016 
with total revenue of $4.6 million (up 55%) and ready to launch 
into the biggest consumer market in the world with our FGF5 
inhibitor  hair  growth  products.  Our  Australian  pharmacy 
business  is  gaining  strong  momentum  and  our  Japanese 
subsidiary is on track for another year of growth after becoming 
profitable in FY2016. Our MK assets are primed for the clinic, 
and  we  have  crystallised  a  funding  strategy  that  provides  a 
pathway to make this possible. 

Our  Chairman,  Dr  David  King,  has  been  instrumental  with 
his support and guidance through this challenging year. The 
strong strategic input from our new board members, Dr Fintan 
Walton, Bruce Gordon, and the Chair of our Scientific Advisory 
Board,  Professor  Bryce  Vissel,  was  important  in  delivering 
progress  in  our  various  businesses.  Our  dedicated  Cellmid 
team, having doubled during the year, has also shown stellar 
performance.

We  thank  you,  our  shareholders,  for  your  support  as  we 
deliver on our business and corporate objectives.

Operating results 

The consolidated loss for the Group increased by 4.84% to $3,498,916 after providing for income tax (2015: $3,337,348 
loss).  This  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  product  development  expenditure  for  the  Group’s  US  product  range, 
manufacturing  costs  for  the  new  évolis®  Professional  products  and  an  increase  in  sales  and  marketing  activity.  Total 
revenue and other income increased by 76.32% to $3,489,546 for the reporting period, not including the R&D tax credit 
of $1,121,562. In 2015 total revenue and other income was $1,979,111 and an R&D tax credit of $988,451 was received.  

Review of operations

The Group closed a successful FY2016 for the Consumer Health Business in Australia and Japan and commenced product 
development for the USA market. In Australia, it has increased its pharmacy distribution and broadened its product offerings 
including new products for the professional and salon market.  Japanese distribution channels have grown from hair salon 
and direct marketing to include television shopping channel (QVC Japan) and various retail channels.  

Further development milestones have been achieved in the Group’s midkine related businesses, Lyramid and Kinera, with 
the completion of the first ever toxicology study with a midkine (MK) inhibitor, the Group’s humanised antibody CAB102. Cell 
line and process development have been completed in a non-GMP environment, and CAB102 was produced in sufficient 
quantities for single and multi-dose toxicology studies. The Group continued its clinical planning for its CAB102 and MK 
protein human studies.

i.   Consumer Health business – increased distribution and sales growth in australia and Japan

The Consumer Health Business was set up to commercialise over the counter hair growth products based on the FGF5 
inhibition technology developed by Advangen Inc. (Japan). With the acquisition of Advangen Inc. (Japan) in May 2013, 
the Group became the owner of global rights for the technology. 

 14 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

In Australia the Group has developed a new évolis® Professional branded salon range with 13 SKUs (Stock Keeping 
Units). The range includes anti-aging, damage protection and colour protection products, all with the Group’s proprietary 
FGF5 inhibitors. The Group transitioned all previous FGF5 inhibitor brands to the evolis® professional brand in Australia. 

In Japan the Group’s sales increased significantly as a result of several television shopping campaigns and broadening 
retail channels. 

Global business development activities increased during the period and the Group is currently engaged in distribution 
and licensing discussions with potential partners in several territories. In preparation for entry into overseas markets, the 
Group has invested significant funds into product development activities and completed the product offerings for the 
USA, where it formed a distribution partnership with Colour Collective after the closing of the reporting period.

ii.   Midkine businesses, Lyramid and Kinera

Progress in preclinical product development and manufacturing

During  the  reporting  period  the  Group  set  up  two  wholly-owned  subsidiary  companies  to  exploit  its  MK  intellectual 
property, Lyramid and Kinera.

Lyramid is responsible for the commercialisation of the Group’s anti-MK antibody portfolio with a focus on inflammatory 
conditions, fibrosis and cancer. Kinera is focused on developing therapeutics for ischemic conditions of the heart and 
brain. The Group has expanded on a number of its research collaborations including the program with Complutense 
University and the bone healing program with Ulm University.

iii  MK Diagnostic Program

The  Groups  licensee,  Pacific  Edge  Limited  continued  to  make  significant  progress  towards  commercialisation  of 
their  CxBladder®  bladder  cancer  test  during  the  reporting  period.    Fujikura  Kasei,  the  Group’s  second  licensee  has 
progressed to clinical development of its latex based diagnostic test with the Group’s MK antibodies and other diagnostic 
partnerships and internal diagnostic programs are continuing. 

a)  Pacific  edge  Limited  –  continued  commercialisation  of  Cxbladder®  in  the  usa  with  MK  as  one  of  the 

biomarkers

The Group signed a license agreement with Pacific Edge Limited in 2010 for the use of the Group’s MK marker as one 
of the biomarkers in CxBladder®, a bladder cancer diagnostic test. In FY2014 the Group received a milestone payment 
after the launch of the test in the USA.  

In FY2015 the Group received its first royalty on sales of $67,778 and received a further royalty of $155,287 in FY2016. 
Pacific Edge advised that they also commenced South East Asian activities in addition to sales in the USA.

b)  Celera-Quest license

The  Group  signed  a  license  agreement  with  Celera-Quest  in  October  2009  for  the  use  of  MK  in  their  lung  cancer 
diagnostic test. The Group received an upfront payment at the time of signing, and a milestone payment may become 
payable by Celera-Quest at the time of regulatory clearance and royalties on sales. During the reporting period Celera-
Quest has not given the Group a formal report on their activities.  

Pursuant to the license agreement Celera-Quest had until 31 October 2014 to commercialise their lung cancer blood 
test with MK included on an exclusive basis. After that date the Group has the right to terminate exclusivity at any time, 
however Celera-Quest will maintain their ability to use MK on a non-exclusive basis. The Group did not exercise its right 
to terminate Celera-Quest’s exclusivity during the reporting period, and received no further update from Celera-Quest 
on the program during FY2016.

c)  Fujikura Kasei option to license

The Group signed an Option to License Agreement with Fujikura Kasei for the exclusive supply of the Group’s proprietary 
MK antibodies for validation in Fujikura’s latex diagnostic platform in FY2013. The agreement provided that Fujikura will 
proceed  to  exercise  its  option  to  license  subject  to  reaching  the  minimum  500  picogram/ml  limit  of  detection.  The 
validation program was completed successfully and Fujikura Kasei exercised its option to license in FY2014. Since then 
Fujikura Kasei has continued development of their latex diagnostic test and has continued its clinical studies. The Group 
is actively assisting Fujikura Kasei to complete clinical validation of its diagnostic test.

intellectual property update

The Group has a large and valuable patent portfolio which consists of 76 patents across 16 patent families. Of these, 62 
patents have been granted, 12 filed or under examination, one in PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) and one in provisional 
filing  stage.  The  Group  has  received  two  new  grants  during  the  reporting  period  and  one  new  patent  was  filed.  The 
Japanese patent office granted the Group’s application for its MK patent for the treatment of hair loss in November 2015. 
The Group’s US patent entitled “Antibody recognising C-Domain of MK” was granted in October 2015.  

3.  FinanCiaL ReVieW

Financial position

The net assets of the Group at 30 June 2016 were $4,690,050 ($3,773,909 at 30 June 2015) while current assets increased 
to $5,131,104 ($4,173,616 at 30 June 2015). The Directors believe that the Group is in a stable financial position in order 
to carry out its current operations.

4.  OTHeR iTeMs

significant changes in state of affairs

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the entities in the Group during the year. 

Dividends paid or recommended

The Company has not paid or declared any dividends during the financial year (2015: Nil).

events since the end of the financial year

On 20 July 2016, the Group announced that it has entered into a distribution partnership with Colour Collective for the US 
launch of its evolis®, branded hair care products. The US distribution partnership will provide the Group with an accelerated, 
direct route to the sales channels that have proven successful in Australia and Japan during the Group’s proof of concept 
rollout. These include e-commerce and sampling channels for rapid consumer acquisition, home shopping networks and 
high-end retail stores. USA sales are expected to commence in 2016 through e-commerce channels with distribution to 
high-end retail and other direct consumer opportunities to follow in 2017.

On 22 July 2016, the Group announced that Ikon Communications Pty Ltd (Ikon) had filed a claim for $939,055 pursuant 
to  the  services  agreement  entered  into  between  Advangen  International  Pty  Ltd  (Advangen)  and  Ikon  on  the  15  June 
2015. Advangen intends to vigorously defend its position that Ikon has breached the services agreement, failed to provide 
certain services at all or adequately and engaged in misleading and dishonest conduct that has caused the Group loss and 
damage. Advangen intends to file a cross claim for payments made for services not provided or properly provided by Ikon 
and seek security for costs.

 16 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

Apart from the matters noted above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which 
significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of 
affairs of the Group in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Group is focused on developing both its Consumer Health and MK related businesses in the coming year. Maximizing 
market penetration for the Groups’ FGF5 inhibitor hair loss products in Australia and internationally will be the focus of the 
Consumer Health business.  The Group will also continue to progress its midkine assets in its dedicated wholly owned 
subsidiaries, Lyramid and Kinera. 

environmental regulations

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

Proceedings on behalf of the Company

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf 
of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on 
behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.

indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors

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 (other than legal costs) 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 Company. It is not possible to apportion the 
premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities. 

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 in favour of its Directors 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	Corporations	Act	2001,	an	indemnity	in	respect	of	liability	to	persons	other	than	the	Company	and	its	
related bodies corporate, that they may incur while acting in their capacity as an officer of the Company or a related 
body corporate, except for specified liabilities where that liability involves a lack of good faith or is for legal costs 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 the report.

There is no indemnity cover in favour of the auditor of the Group during the financial year.

non-audit services

The Group may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor’s 
expertise  and  experience  with  the  Group  is  important  and  relevant  where  the  nature  of  the  services  provided  does  not

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:

•	 provide	competitive	rewards	to	attract	high	calibre	executives;	and	

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

The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and senior managers of 
the Group 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.

Group performance and link to remuneration

No performance based bonus or incentive payments are in place, however Maria Halasz has loan shares that are conditional 
on  key  milestones  being  achieved.  These  milestones  are  detailed  in  the  equity-based  compensation  section  of  this 
remuneration report. 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the opinion that the continued improved results can be attributed in 
part to the adoption of performance based compensation and is satisfied that this improvement will continue to increase 
shareholder wealth if maintained over the coming years.

The table below details the last five years earnings and total shareholders return.

Cellmid 2016 Annual Report  19

Directors’ Report 
Continued

Remuneration structure 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  Non-executive  Director  and  senior  executive 
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 
Directors 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 was set at $300,000 per annum. In 2016, the Group paid Non-executive Directors a total of 
$222,757 ($175,925 in 2015). 

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 review.

executive remuneration 

Objective

The  Group  aims  to  reward  executives  with  a  level  and  mix  of  remuneration  commensurate  with  their  position  and 
responsibilities within the Group and 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;	and	

•	 ensure	total	remuneration	is	competitive	by	market	standards.

Structure

A  policy  of  the  Board  is  the  establishment  of  employment  or  consulting  contracts  with  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and 
other senior executives. Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration under an employment or consultancy agreement and 
may include long term equity-based incentives that are subject to satisfaction of performance conditions. Details of these 
performance conditions are outlined in the equity-based payments section of this remuneration report. The equity-based 
incentives are intended to retain key executives and reward performance against agreed performance objectives.

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 executives 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.

1.  On  19  November  2015,  8,000,000  unlisted  options  were  granted  to  Directors  under  the  Cellmid  Limited  and  Controlled  Entities 
Employee Incentive Plan and as approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 12 November 2015. The options have an 
exercise price of $0.06 per share, and expire three years from the date of grant with no performance or vesting conditions attached to 
the options.

The fair value at the date of grant is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account 
the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact on dilution, the share price at grant date and the 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 at the date of grant was $54,400.

No equity-based compensation in the form of options over ordinary shares were issued during the year ended 30 June 2015.

2.   On 25 November 2013, 12,000,000 loan shares were granted to Maria Halasz in three equal tranches under the Cellmid Limited and 
Controlled Entities Employee Incentive Plan and as approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 22 November 2013. 

Ordinary shares were issued under the arrangement funded by a limited recourse loan with the following vesting conditions attached:

Shares  will  vest  at  any  time  before  the  vesting  date  when  the  Group’s 
operating revenue reaches a total of $4,000,000 over any consecutive 
12 months. The fair value at the date of grant was $73,200. 

The conditions in relation to this tranche have been met.

Shares will vest at any time before the vesting date subject to the first 
patient being recruited into the Group’s planned midkine antibody trial. 
The fair value at the date of grant was $73,200.

Shares will vest at any time before the vesting date subject to the signing 
of  one  of  the  following  agreements  for  the  Group’s  consumer  health 
products in a territory outside of Australia and Japan:

(a)   a diagnostic or therapeutic licence; or

(b)   a distribution agreement.

The fair value at the date of grant was $73,300.

The conditions in relation to this tranche have been met.

The effect of the arrangement is akin to an option. The value of the shares at the date of grant was $0.0183 per share.

The Board is committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance.  As such, Cellmid 
Limited and its Controlled Entities (‘the Group’) have adopted a corporate governance framework and practices to ensure 
they meet the interests of shareholders.

The  Australian  Securities  Exchange  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and 
Recommendations  –  3rd  edition  (‘the  ASX  Principles’)  are  applicable  for  financial  years  commencing  on  or  after  1  July

The Corporate Governance Statement and governance policies and practices can be found in the corporate governance 
section of the Company’s website at http://www.cellmid.com.au. 

The  Group’s  Corporate  Governance  Statement  incorporates  the  disclosures  required  by  the  ASX  Principles  under  the

Continued

1.  suMMaRY OF siGniFiCanT aCCOunTinG POLiCies

statement of compliance 

Cellmid  Limited  is  a  public  company,  listed  on  the  Australian  Stock  Exchange,  limited  by  shares  and  incorporated  and 
domiciled in Australia.

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“AASB”)  and  the 
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for 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 cover Cellmid Limited as a Group, consisting of Cellmid Limited and the entities it controlled at the 
end of, or during the year. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30th August 2016.

basis of Preparation

Historical Cost Convention
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. 

Critical Accounting Estimates
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 1(w). 

Parent Entity Information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Consolidated Group 
only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is included in Note 2.

new, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations adopted 

The  Group  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.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early 
adopted.

The  adoption  of  these  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  did  not  have  any  significant  impact  on  the  financial 
performance or position of the Group.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The  Group  has  applied  AASB  2012-3  from  1  July  2014.  The  amendments  add  application  guidance  to  address 
inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’, by clarifying 
the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems may be 
considered to be equivalent to net settlement. 

 34 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

new, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations adopted (continued)

AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
The Group has applied AASB 2013-3 from 1 July 2014. The disclosure requirements of AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’ 
have been enhanced to require additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of 
impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposal. Additionally, if measured using a present value technique, the 
discount rate is required to be disclosed.

AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Parts A to C)
The Group has applied Parts A to C of AASB 2014-1 from 1 July 2014. 

These amendments affect the following standards: 

AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’: clarifies the definition of ‘vesting condition’ by separately defining a ‘performance condition’ 
and a ‘service condition’ and amends the definition of ‘market condition’;

AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’: clarifies that contingent consideration in a business combination is subsequently measured 
at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is 
within the scope of AASB 9; 

AASB 8 ‘Operating Segments’: amended to require disclosures of judgements made in applying the aggregation criteria 
and clarifies that a reconciliation of the total reportable segment assets to the entity’s assets is required only if segment 
assets are reported regularly to the chief operating decision maker; 

AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’: clarifies that the portfolio exemption applies to the valuation of contracts within the 
scope of AASB 9 and AASB 139; 

AASB 116 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ and AASB 138 ‘Intangible Assets’: clarifies that on revaluation, restatement of 
accumulated depreciation will not necessarily be in the same proportion to the change in the gross carrying value of the asset; 

AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: extends the definition of ‘related party’ to include a management entity that provides 
KMP services to the entity or its parent and requires disclosure of the fees paid to the management entity. 

(a)  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. 

The cash flow forecast for the next twelve months prepared by management indicates that the Group will have sufficient 
cash assets to be able to meet its debts as and when they become due.

(b)  Principles of consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Cellmid  Limited  (“the 
Company”) as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Cellmid Limited and its subsidiaries 
together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group.

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  Group  has  control.  The  Group  controls  an  entity  when  the  Group  is 
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is 
transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.  

Cellmid 2016 Annual Report  35

Notes to the Financial Statements 
Continued

(b)  Principles of consolidation (continued)

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted 
by the Group.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable 
to the parent.

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and 
other  comprehensive  income,  statement  of  financial  position  and  statement  of  changes  in  equity  of  the  Group.  Losses 
incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling 
interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises 
the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in 
profit or loss.

(c)  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.

(d)  Revenue and other income recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably 
measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and after taking into account 
any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. 

Revenue from the sale of products is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks 
and rewards of ownership of the products and the cessation of all involvement in those products.

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method.

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

Government grants are recognised in profit or 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.

(e)  income tax 

The income tax expense or benefit 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, unused tax losses and adjustments recognised for prior periods where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the 
period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. 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. 

 36 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

(e)  income tax (continued)

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only 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.  they relate to the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to 

settle simultaneously.

(f)  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 consolidated statement of financial position.

(g)  Trade and other receivables

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

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A 
provision for impairment 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.

(h)  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 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.  

(i)  Plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment is measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

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  profit  and  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the 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.

Cellmid 2016 Annual Report  37

 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
Continued

(i)  Plant and equipment (continued)

The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are:

Class of 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 disposal proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and 
losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

(j)  intangible assets other than Goodwill

Patents and trademarks
Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment 
losses. The Group has determined the useful life of the intangible assets at 20 years. 

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) is 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. 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. 

The Group undertakes a review and assesses potential impairment on a regular basis for all its intangible assets.

(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. 

Due to their short term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. 

 38 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

(m)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present 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.

(n)  employee benefits 

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees up to the 
end of the reporting period. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability 
that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. 

Short-term employee benefits
Liability for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service 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. 

Other long term employee benefits
Liability  for annual  leave  and  long  service leave  not  expected to  be  settled  within  12  months  from  the  reporting  date  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, of employee departures and period of service. 

Retirement benefit obligations 
Contributions for retirement benefit obligations 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. 

(o)  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. 

The fair value at grant date is determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes 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, and are credited to share capital.

(p)  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 either 
a Binominal pricing or Black-Scholes option pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed

(p)  equity settled compensation (continued)

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, and are credited to share capital. 

(q)  Functional and presentation currency

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars  which  is  the  parent  entity’s  functional  and 
presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation 
at financial year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in 
profit or loss.

Foreign operations 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting 
date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange 
rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are 
recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed.

(r)  Goods and services Tax 

Revenue,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  goods  and  services  tax  (GST),  except  where  the 
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payable are stated inclusive 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 consolidated 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.

(s)  Financial instruments 

Financial instruments are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument and 
are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit 
or loss”, in which case transaction costs are recognised immediately as expenses in profit or loss.

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost. 

Loans and borrowings

Loans and borrowings are non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses 
are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

 40 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

(s)  Financial instruments (continued)

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition 
less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference 
between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent 
to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other 
premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the 
financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net 
cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense 
item in profit or loss.

(t)  earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to owners of Cellmid Limited, 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 financial year.

Diluted earnings 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.

(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)  new accounting standards for application in future periods

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, 
have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2016. The Group’s assessment of 
the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

This  standard  is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2018.  The  standard  replaces 
all  previous  versions  of  AASB  9  and  completes  the  project  to  replace  IAS  39  ‘Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement’. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall 
be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect 
contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets 
are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial 
recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income 
(‘OCI’). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own 
credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). 

Cellmid 2016 Annual Report  41

 
Notes to the Financial Statements 
Continued

(v)  new accounting standards for application in future periods (continued)

New  simpler  hedge  accounting  requirements  are  intended  to  more  closely  align  the  accounting  treatment  with  the  risk 
management  activities  of  the  entity.  New  impairment  requirements  will  use  an  ‘expected  credit  loss’  (‘ECL’)  model  to 
recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial 
instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  in  which  case  the  lifetime  ECL  method  is  adopted.  The 
standard introduces additional new disclosures. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its 
adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The standard provides a single 
standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the 
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects 
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) 
to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, 
adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance 
obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no 
distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will 
be  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  to  revenue.  For  goods,  the  performance  obligation  would 
be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when 
the  service  has  been  provided,  typically  for  promises  to  transfer  services  to  customers.  For  performance  obligations 
satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be 
recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity’s statement of 
financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity’s 
performance and the customer’s payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to 
understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and 
any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The Group will adopt this standard from 
1 July 2017 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group.

(w)  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.

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and 
assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management 
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal 
the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

Estimated impairment of intellectual property 

The  Group  tests  annually  whether  intellectual  property  has  suffered  any  impairment.  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, 
including estimating timing of cash flows, product development and availability of resources to exploit the assets.

 42 Cellmid 2016 Annual Report

 
(w)  Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Share-based payment transactions 

The  Group  measures  the  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  with  employees  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes 
model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates 
and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.  

Provision for impairment of receivables

The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision 
is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and 
specific knowledge of the individual debtor’s financial position.

Provision for impairment of inventories

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the 
provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that 
affect inventory obsolescence.    

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant 
and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations 
or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously 
estimated  lives,  or  technically  obsolete  or  non-strategic  assets  that  have  been  abandoned  or  sold  will  be  written  off  or 
written down.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each 
reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an 
impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal 
or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Employee benefits provision

The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting 
date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and 
inflation have been taken into account.

recent collection practices.

Effective interest rates and credit risk

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or Group of counterparties 
other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 23(a). The class of assets described as 
‘trade and other receivables’ is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.  

There is no interest rate risk for the balances of trade and other receivables. There is no material credit risk associated with 
other receivables.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce 
the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.  

The Group looks to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company is seen as value adding relative 
to  the  current  parent  entity’s  share  price  at  the  time  of  the  investment.  The  Group  is  not  actively  pursuing  additional 
investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

On  20  July  2016,  Advangen  International  Pty  Limited  (Advangen),  Cellmid’s  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  entered  into  a 
distribution partnership with Colour Collective for the USA launch of the Company’s évolis® branded hair loss products. 
Colour Collective, a specialist in the launch of high end hair brands in the US, is based in Dallas, Texas.

The principals of Colour Collective have over 40 years of combined experience in successfully launching and distributing 
brands in the USA, Europe and Asia for companies such as Revlon, Unilever, LVMH, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Toni & Guy. 
Since 2012 Colour Collective has launched nine new brands covering 146 products.

The distribution partnership will provide Advangen with accelerated, direct route to the sales channels that have proven 
successful in Australia and Japan during the Company’s commercial proof of concept rollout. These include e-commerce 
and  sampling  channels  for  rapid  customer  acquisition,  home  shopping  networks  and  high-end  retail  stores.  USA  sales 
will commence in 2016 through e-commerce channels with distribution to high-end retail and other direct to consumer 
opportunities to follow.

On 22 July 2016, Ikon Communications Pty Ltd (Ikon), a subsidiary of the WPP AUNZ (ASX: WPP) group of advertising 
agencies, filed legal action against Advangen, the entity that operates the Australian consumer health business. 

Ikon’s claim is for the amount of $939,055 pursuant to the Services Agreement entered into by the parties on 15 June 2015. 
In the claim Ikon alleges that Advangen has failed to pay certain invoices for services rendered in relation to an advertising 
campaign.

Advangen strongly disputes that Ikon is entitled to be paid for the work the subject of the invoices. It is Advangen’s position 
that Ikon has breached the Services Agreement, failed to provide certain services at all, or adequately, and engaged in 
misleading and dishonest conduct that has caused Advangen loss and damage.

Advangen intends to vigorously defend its position and cross claim for payments already made for services not provided or 
properly provided by Ikon, as well as for any further damages. It will also ensure that there is adequate security for its costs, 
and if necessary, apply for an order that security for costs be provided by Ikon.

Apart from the matters noted above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which 
significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of 
affairs of the Group in future financial years.

There were no related party transactions during the year ended 30 June 2016. 

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 fair value of financial assets and liabilities equate to the carrying value.

(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 management 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;	and
•	 only	investing	surplus	cash	with	major	financial	institutions.

The Group is not exposed to any material liquidity risk.

Financial  liabilities  consist  of  two  items,  trade  and  other  payables  for  which  the  contractual  maturity  dates  are  within  6 
months of the reporting date and loans and borrowings.  

Loans and borrowings at reporting date have contractual maturity dates as follows:

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 
functional currency of the Group, being Australian dollars.

The maximum exposure to foreign exchange risk is the fluctuation in exchange rates on the USD and JPY denominated 
bank accounts and also the profit and net assets of the Japanese subsidiary, Advangen Incorporated.

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the financial year. 
The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in 
this risk. 

At the end of the financial year, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rate with all 
other variables remaining constant would be as follows:

Claims 

On 22 July 2016, Ikon Communications Pty Ltd (Ikon), a subsidiary of the WPP AUNZ (ASX:WPP) group of advertising 
agencies,  filed  legal  action  against  Advangen  International  Pty  Limited  (Advangen),  Cellmid’s  wholly  owned  subsidiary 
operating the Australian consumer health business. 

Ikon’s claim is for the amount of $939,055 pursuant to the Services Agreement entered into by the parties on 15 June 2015. 
In the claim Ikon alleges that Advangen has failed to pay certain invoices for services rendered in relation to an advertising 
campaign.

Advangen strongly disputes that Ikon is entitled to be paid for the work the subject of the invoices. It is Advangen’s position 
that  Ikon  has  breached  the  Services  Agreement,  failed  to  provide  certain  services  at  all  or  adequately  and  engaged  in 
misleading and dishonest conduct that has caused Advangen loss and damage.   

Advangen intends to vigorously defend its position and cross claim for payments already made for services not provided or 
properly provided by Ikon, as well as for any further damages. It will also ensure that there is adequate security for its costs, 
and if necessary, apply for an order that security for costs be provided by Ikon.

Guarantees

The Group has given bank guarantees as at 30 June 2016 of $65,829 (30 June 2015: $65,829) relating to the lease of 
commercial office space. 

For information about guarantees given by entities within the group, including the parent entity, please refer to note 2.

Other  than  the  matter  noted  above,  the  Group  had  no  contingent  liabilities  or  contingent  assets  at  30  June  2016.
