  Growth  was  particularly  strong  in  Japan,  and  pleasingly 

profitable.  Sales  doubled  in  the  USA,  and  are  poised  for 

further  substantial  growth  following  our  relatively  heavy 

investment  in  retail  partnerships  in  this  important  market. 

Sales  were  weaker  in  our  home  market  of  Australia, 

although  we  are  confident  of  further  growing  this  market 

after  expanding  our  e-commerce,  digital  marketing,  and 

social  media  infrastructure  and  capability;  and  advancing 

negotiations with a national distribution partner.

We  remain  poised  to  penetrate  important  new  markets 

in  China  and  Korea,  where  we  have  already  entered  into 

exclusive  distribution  agreements  with  well-credentialled 

partners and await only the requisite regulatory approvals. 

Based  on  the  success  of  our  QVC  distribution  channel  in 

Japan,  we  are  not  surprisingly  excited  about  the  prospect 

of  working  with  QVC  China,  an  important  component  of 

our Chinese strategy. Both the Chinese and Korean markets 

offer the potential for transformative revenues over the next 

two  years.  Planning  to  enter  other  new  markets,  in  both 

Asia and Europe, is also well advanced, with EU registration 
for importation of évolis® Professional products into all EU 

countries, including the UK, already in hand.

last year there were important publications of new findings 

on  the  role  of  midkine  in  the  development  of  yet  more

the efficacy of midkine antibodies in mitigating the diseases.

It is my pleasure to 
report on the results of 
this 2019 financial year. 
This has been a year of 
investment into our people, 
operations and systems, 
our intellectual property

and distribution channels

loan, implemented a share buy-back and have successfully 

navigated  through  a  year  with  many  new  partners  and 

collaborators. 

Importantly, the year marked accelerated sales growth with 

a  30%  increase  in  consumer  sales  to  $7,338,967  (FY2018: 

$5,647,930).  This  has  been  especially  pleasing  as  most 

of  our  new  channels  have  not  come  online  until  the  latter 

part of the reporting year. Total revenue and other income 

came in at $8.347,184, a 22% uplift from last year (FY2018: 

$6.834,924). 

In  addition  to  the  revenue  in  Advangen  Limited,  Cellmid 

also received $807,972 from the Australian Tax Office under 

the  R&D  Tax  Incentive  Scheme.  This  funding  has  been 

crucial for the Company to continue its development of the 

high value midkine assets.

Cellmid reported a net loss after tax of $5,909,557 million 

in FY2019, up 58% form the previous financial year (FY2018: 

$3,732,615  million  loss).  This  included  a  significant  one-

off  expenditure  of  $2,608,371  relating  to  the  litigation 

with Ikon. Operating losses were $3,042,031 in the current 

year,  compared  with  $2,714,117  in  FY2018,  reflecting 

the  significant  investment  we  have  made    into  our  sales 

channels and building a global sales and marketing team. 

We expect this investment to return appropriate dividends 

in the coming months.

Importantly,  our  consumer  health  business  continues  to 

show  operational  improvements.  Our  operating  losses

Advangen Inc., (Japan)

Sales  in  Japan  were  up  40%  to  $5,929,848  during  the 

financial  year  (FY2018:  $4,230,761).  Operational  profits 

reached  $1,656,427,  a  133%  increase  on  the  $711,927 

profit  achieved  in  FY2018.  The  single  largest  source  of 

product  revenue  remained  the  omnichannel  retail  group, 

QVC Japan, during the reporting period with just under $3

The Group holds the largest intellectual property portfolio globally around midkine, a protein associated with various disease 

states, including chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. During FY2019 Lyramid continued with the development and 

commercialisation of diagnostic and therapeutic products for the management of diseases such as cancer and various chronic 

inflammatory conditions by targeting midkine. During FY2019, the Group continued to investigate the most efficient method 

for targeting midkine and completed further preclinical validation studies using its humanised antibodies in Focal Segmental 

Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). In addition, two new humanised midkine antibodies have been developed during the period.

The Group received additional patent coverage for its N terminal binding midkine antibodies in Europe and collaborated with 

research groups in various clinical indications to increase underlying value of its midkine asset portfolio during FY2019.

Significant Change since the end of FY2019

released its Strategy Update to the market outlining two key objectives to increase shareholder value; the separation of 

Advangen and Lyramid by the end of 2020 and achieving operational profitability for Advangen in FY2020.

The principal activities of the Group during the financial year were:

Advangen Limited (Advangen): 

During FY2019 Advangen continued with the development and sale of over-the-counter (OTC) and cosmetic products for hair 

loss and anti-aging hair care using proprietary FGF5 inhibitor technology.

The Group acquired Advangen Inc. in 2013, a Japanese company with a proprietary hair loss technology inhibiting FGF5. Since 

the acquisition, the Group has improved the technology, rebranded the original products, developed a range of new products 

under the evolis® brand and built international distribution. During FY2019, Advangen achieved 30% revenue growth increasing 

sales in all consumer health divisions. Advangen continued with novel product development during the reporting period with new 

2. OPERATING RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR

Operating results 

The operations for the Group continued to improve during the 2019 financial year. Revenue and Other Income for the Group 

increased 22% to $8,347,184 (2018: $6,834,924) during the reporting period, with a 30% increase in Consumer Health revenue 

to $7,338,967 (2018: $5,652,386). Operating loss was up 12% to $3,042,031 (2018: $2,714,117 loss). An R&D tax credit of 

$807,973 was received during the reporting period (2018: $1,056,963 including government grants).

Review of operations

The Group released its Strategy Update to investors in February 2019 with two key objectives to increase shareholder value; 

the separation of Advangen and Lyramid by the end of 2020 and operational profitability for Advangen in FY2020. The Group 

achieved several key milestones during FY2019 and made the following progress to reach these important strategic objectives 

in both divisions.

•   The Group boosted its senior management team with several new appointments in key sales, marketing and operational

functions laying the foundations for a sustainable global business.

•  A significant increase in marketing spend resulted in building distribution channels for sustainable revenue growth for the

Group’s FGF5 inhibitor hair growth products globally.

•   Scaling into existing sales channels, such as QVC in Japan and Neiman Marcus in the USA, delivered increased sales for the

Group.

•  New opportunities, such as e-commerce in Australia, export sales to China and a distribution partnership with PSL in New

Zealand, assisted in achieving record revenue for the Group.

•  Therapeutic efficacy for the Group’s midkine antibodies in FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) added significant

value to the Lyramid asset portfolio.

•  The successful patent application for the N-terminal midkine-antibodies in Europe increased the intellectual property holding

of the Group around midkine, adding to the potential application in the treatment of multiple disease indications.

•  Internationally recognised industry leader, Bart Wuurman, was appointed as CEO of Lyramid in June 2019 to execute on the

midkine development plans and the separation of the consumer and midkine businesses.

 i. Advangen Limited

 Revenue from the FGF5 inhibitor hair growth and anti-aging hair care products grew 30% during the reporting period to

$7,338,967 (FY2018: $5,652,386). The growth was largely the result of an increase of more than 100% in the US sales to

$415,371 (FY2018: $205,604) and a 40% increase in Japanese sales to $5,929,848 (FY2018: $4,230,761). Australian sales

were down 18% to $993,748 (FY2018: $1,216,021).

 Importantly, a vastly improved global e-commerce platform was launched in FY2019, laying the foundations for sustainable

revenue growth in the Group’s direct to consumer business in Australia, the US and Japan. Repeat customer database

increased 400% between the launch of the new www.evolisproducts.com website in February and June 2019 in Australia, the

formulations containing additional ingredients for improved efficacy and implemented significant operational efficiencies.

Growth in Japan from television shopping channel QVC and export to China

 Sales on television shopping channel, QVC, continued to grow during FY2019 with two sales days delivering over $1 million 

revenue each for the Group (30 November 2018 and 16 June 2019). The Jo-Ju® branded FGF5 inhibitor products for women 

remain the largest single brand for the Group. A significant uplift in sales was also achieved from the partnership with Chinese 

distributor, Huana Likang, responsible for selling the Lexilis® branded, and locally packaged bulk supplied products for men.

Building on USA premium retail partnership with Neiman Marcus in preparation to scaling into salons

  The Group’s retail partnership with Neiman Marcus continued to expand during the reporting period and accounted for the 

most significant component of revenue growth in the US. Going from e-commerce only to 10 Neiman Marcus stores during 

FY2019 required a significant investment in sales and operational activities. This was in addition to the 21 soft surroundings 

stores. The Group’s business model in premium retail is to launch each store with an experiential marketing event conducted 

in collaboration with sales staff from the retail partner. The events have been supported by social and digital advertising 

conducted in collaboration with Neiman Marcus.

 Bloomingdales rolled out its Wellchemist department in 9 of their 65 retail stores up to 30 June 2019, where evolis® is 

featured both on shelves and on counters. Wellchemist caters for the discerning and health conscious Bloomingdales 

customer. The Group’s ongoing US public relations campaign delivered news on the evolis® technology and brand to 

approximately 120 million potential readers with over 11 billion potential impressions during the reporting period.

 The Group completed a critical pre-clinical program in FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) and delivered promising 

efficacy results for CAB102, one of the humanised midkine antibody drug candidates, in FY2019. CAB102 reduced the area 

of kidney injury 3-fold compared to control in an Adriamycin induced model of the disease. The work was partially funded by 

an Australian Government DIIS Innovation connection grant.

 The Group’s midkine antibody assets have been independently validated by the peer reviewed article “Midkine drives 

cardiac inflammation by promoting neutrophil trafficking and NETosis in myocarditis” published in the Journal of 

Experimental Medicine in February 2019. The published data, generated with the Group’s midkine antibodies, showed that 

these antibodies limited not only neutrophil recruitment but also NET (neutrophil extracellular trap) formation, reinforcing 

their potential for the treatment of inflammatory heart failure.

 The Group’s intellectual property portfolio currently stands at 58 granted patents, 14 patent applications under examination 

and one in PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) filing stage. Importantly, the Group was granted the European patent “Antibody 

recognising N-domain of midkine”, following an extensive examination period. This is an important patent to the Group as it 

covers the most effective midkine antibodies with strong potential for clinical development.

3. FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The net assets of the Group at 30 June 2019 were $5,857,277 ($1,855,172 at 30 June 2018) while current assets increased to 

$7,233,627 ($4,159,083 at 30 June 2018). With the cash balance of $3,081,924 at 30 June 2019 the Directors believe that the 

Company will be able to deliver on the its Strategic Plan as outlined in February 2019.

4. OTHER ITEMS

Ikon legal action 

On 22 July 2016, Ikon Communications Pty Ltd (IKON) had filed a claim for an amount of $939,055 plus interest pursuant to 

the services agreement entered into between Group Company Advangen International Pty Ltd (Advangen) and IKON on 15 

June 2015, being a claim for invoices which Advangen has not paid to IKON. Advangen defended its position that it is not 

liable for those unpaid invoices because IKON has breached the services agreement, failed to provide certain contractually 

required services at all or adequately and engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct that has caused Advangen loss and 

damage. Advangen filed a cross claim for payments made for services not provided or not properly provided by IKON, plus 

Chinese import permit application progressing for evolis® in the face of changing regulatory environment

other loss it says it suffered by reason of IKON’s conduct and submitted evidence, including expert evidence, to that effect 

 Fukangren, the Group’s exclusive distributor in China for the evolis® branded tonics and shampoos, has been pursuing 

regulatory submissions for the products since May 2018. Application for the tonics were submitted in early 2019, with 

shampoo applications yet to be filed due to the change in responsible regulatory authority in the interim. Subject to 

receiving the approvals, Fukangren will be required to order minimum product quantities to maintain market exclusivity for 

the products in China.

during the reporting period.

The proceedings were heard in the New South Wales Supreme Court between 10 September 2018 and 23 September 2018.

On 2 November 2018 the court handed down its decision that IKON was entitled to its claim plus interest and the cross claim 

by Advangen was dismissed. In the FY2018 financial accounts an amount was allocated as a contingent liability regarding this 

matter, and the total costs of $2,608,371, including IKON’s claim with interest and costs of both parties have been included in 

European import permits for evolis® and growing e-commerce sales dominated Australian activities   

the Consolidated Profit and Loss Statements for FY2019 under the heading ‘Legal fees and claim’.

 The Group continued to fund international business development activities from Advangen in Australia during FY2019 and, 

Significant changes in state of affairs

as a precursor to sales in Europe, it secured import permits for all evolis® branded products. One of the key operational 

objectives, building a substantial consumer data base, received a boost during the period with the launch of an e-commerce 

platform that is more user friendly and capable of connecting and communicating with customers more effectively. An 

important measure in achieving operational profitability has been ensuring that unprofitable third-party discounting 

campaigns were not pursued during the reporting period. Although revenue was down in some of the Australian pharmacy 

networks as a result, the overall profitability of the channel has improved.

 ii. Lyramid Limited

Consolidating midkine related research and development under Lyramid

 In preparation to separate the strictly research and development based midkine portfolio from a largely consumer product

development and sales driven Advangen, all midkine related patents and other and assets were consolidated in a single

subsidiary, Lyramid Limited, in FY2019.

 The appointment of Lyramid CEO, Bart Wuurman, in June 2019 was an important milestone in this process, not only as he is

eminently qualified to deliver quality partnerships, but he has also brought solid focus to build a clinical development path.

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the entities in the Group during the 2019 financial year.

Dividends paid or recommended

The Company has not paid or declared any dividends during the financial year (2018: Nil).

Events since the end of the financial year

Other than that noted on page 13 there have been no significant events since the closing of the 2019 financial year.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Group is focused on building sales of its evolis® branded FGF5 inhibitor hair products by maximising market penetration 

with a growing product range. Concurrently, the Group is focused on the research and development of its midkine asset 

portfolio with the view to separate the two businesses.

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

•  if and when appropriate, establish performance hurdles in relation to variable executive remuneration.

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. On 8 November 2018, at the annual general meeting of shareholders, the 

aggregate remuneration was changed to $400,000, to ensure that the Group can compensate all of its non-executive directors.  

In FY2019, the Group paid non-executive directors a total of $275,325 ($210,202 in 2018).

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fixed fees paid to directors are reviewed 

annually. There has been no increase in individual director remuneration during the period.

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.

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

Structure

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 cash bonus or incentive payments have been made during the reporting period.

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 

bonus or short term and 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.

The number of options held in the company during the financial year by each director and member of key management 

personnel of Cellmid Limited, including their personally related parties, are set out below. 

Service agreements 

The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, Maria Halasz, reflects the activities of the two business units, Advangen Limited 

and Lyramid Limited, within the Group.

On 1 July 2016 a service agreement was signed between the Group and Maria Halasz. Pursuant to this service agreement Maria 

Halasz’s salary component incurred by Cellmid Limited was reduced, and two consulting agreements, one with Lyramid Limited 

and one with Advangen Limited, were signed by Direct Capital Group Pty Ltd, a company associated with Ms Halasz to better 

reflect her operational responsibilities.

The above arrangement is covered under one service agreement and the conditions are as follows:

•    The remuneration for Ms Halasz is fixed, however, at the discretion of the Board and subject to approval by shareholders, she 

may receive performance-based incentives in the future.

•    The duration of the service agreement is 3 years. In the event that the parties do not sign a new agreement prior to the expiry 

of the term, the agreement is automatically extended for 12 months.

GOVERNANCE

Loans to directors and other members of key management personnel

There were no loans to directors or other members of key management personnel during or since the end of the financial year.

This concludes the remuneration report which has been audited.

Auditor’s independence declaration 

The auditor’s independence declaration in accordance with section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 for the year ended  

30 June 2019 has been received and can be found on page 64 of the financial report.

This director’s report, incorporating the remuneration report, is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

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 2014, consequently for the 

Group’s 30 June 2019 year end. As a result, the Group has chosen to publish its Corporate Governance  

Statement on its website rather than in this Annual Report. 

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 headings of the eight core principles.  

All of these practices, unless otherwise stated, were in place for the full  

reporting period.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance 

Cellmid Limited is a public company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, limited by shares and incorporated and 

domiciled in Australia.

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 28th August 2019.

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 

Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. Cellmid Limited 

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

These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International 

Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). 

Historical Cost Convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain non-current assets and financial 

instruments that are measured at re-valued amounts or fair values. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless 

otherwise noted.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group

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 2019. 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 16 Leases

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 

‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-

of-use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future 

lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases 

of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby 

either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives 

received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs.

Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in 

operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of 

the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 

117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating 

expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16.

For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing 

activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component.

For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt this 

standard from 1 July 2019. As at reporting date, the Group has assessed the impact of the standard and the expected impacts 

are as follows:

• Increase in assets and liabilities amounting to approximately $907,900 and $907,900 respectively.

•  Increase in the loss position on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the amount of approximately $4,000. 

The impact to the profit and loss in the years 2019 to 2021 is expected to increase the expense due to ‘front loading’ of 

interest and depreciation expense by approximately $39,000 and in the years 2022 to 2023 the impact to the profit and loss 

is expected to be a reduction in expense of approximately $38,000.

• It is not expected that there will be any net impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Cellmid 2019 Annual ReportCellmid 2019 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

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 the Black-Scholes method 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 do not have any impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within 

the subsequent annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

• Estimated impairment of intangibles

The group tests whether intangible assets have suffered any impairment at each reporting date. The recoverable amount of 

intangible assets is assessed at its value in use. This calculation requires the use of assumptions.

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 29.

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 

Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Going concern

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

For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group incurred a loss after income tax of $5,909,557 (2018: $3,732,615), experienced 

net cash outflows from operating activities of $5,671,373 (2018: $4,163,653) and at 30 June 2019 has cash and cash 

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

equivalents of $3,081,924.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced 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 that are solely principal and interest. 

New impairment requirements use an ‘expected credit loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured 

using 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. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses 

using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue 

recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised 

goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in 

exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal activities 

and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business including the presumption that sufficient 

funds will be available to finance the operations of the Group. As is often the case with fast growing companies, the ability of 

the Group to continue its development activities as a going concern is dependent upon growing revenue in Advangen, further 

developing the Lyramid business and deriving cash from other sources of revenue such as grant funding. The directors have 

considered the cash flow forecasts and the funding requirements of the business and will continue to build revenue through 

scaling into existing channels and opening new market opportunities for the FGF5 inhibitor hair loss products.

The Group made a significant investment into the business in FY2019 and built a highly capable, global management team 

expected to deliver on FY2020 sales targets. Together with the operational efficiencies already achieved, the Group is well 

placed to exploit its opportunities in ecommerce and traditional retail.

In addition, the Group is actively pursuing opportunities to deliver a return for its high value midkine assets. With the 

appointment of new Lyramid CEO, Bart Wuurman, an active partnering program has been put in place. Finally, as in previous 

years, government grant opportunities for export activities and research and development will also be pursued.

measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense 

If the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities 

rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are presented in an entity’s statement of financial position as 

other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial 

a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the 

statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the 

customer’s payment. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as 

amount of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and 

an asset and amortised over the contract period.

Principles of consolidation

AASB 15 did not result in any change to the opening net assets or the opening accumulated losses as at 1 July 2018.

together are referred to in these financial statements as “the Group”.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the 

actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The 

areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas of assumptions and estimates are:

• R&D Tax Incentives 

From 1 July 2011 the Australian Government has provided a tax incentive, in the form of a refundable tax offset of 43.5%, 

for eligible research and development expenditure. Management has assessed its research and development activities and 

expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the scheme. For the period ended 30 June 2019 the Group has 

recorded an item in other income of $807,973 (2018: $1,056,963) based on tax refund received from the government.

• Share-based payment transactions 

34

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.

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.

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.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the group are eliminated. 

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 results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that 

have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 

• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet 

•  income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are translated at 

average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the 

transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and 

Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. 

•  all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. The foreign currency translation reserve is

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.  

Identification of reporting segments

The Group is organised into two operating segments: 

• Lyramid Limited; research and development of diagnostics and therapeutics; and

• Advangen Limited; research, development and marketing of hair growth products. 

Revenue recognition  

For each contract with a customer, the Group: 

- identifies the contract with a customer; 

- identifies the performance obligations in the contract; 

-  determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; 

allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of

a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA” or “Operating Profit/ 

(Loss)”) to assess the performance of operating segments. However, the CODM also receive information about segments 

revenue and assets on a monthly basis.

The Group’s contracts with customers for the sale of goods generally include one performance obligation. The Group 

has concluded that revenue from the sale of goods should be recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is 

transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods. 

The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows (further details on the business of each 

segment in included on pages 12 to 15 in the Directors’ Report of this document):

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

Investments and other financial assets  

From 1 July 2018, the group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:   

• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and 

• those to be measured at amortised cost.   

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the 

cash flows. 

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity 

instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of 

initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). 

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. 

Recognition and derecognition 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the group commits to 

purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held 

at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that 

are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank 

overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Trade receivables

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less credit losses. 

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An 

allowance for expected credit loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all 

amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. 

solely payment of principal and interest.   

Debt instruments 

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash 

flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the group classifies its debt instruments: 

•  Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments 

of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance 

income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or 

loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented 

as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.  

•  FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash 

flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are 

taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and 

The Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but 

losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously 

instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision 

recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from 

matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the 

these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and 

economic environment. 

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 standard costing and are reviewed regularly. Costs of purchased 

losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of 

profit or loss. 

•  FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt 

investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) 

in the period in which it arises.

business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.

The group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the group’s management has elected to present 

fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses 

to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in 

profit or loss as other income when the group’s right to receive payments is established. 

38

39

Cellmid 2019 Annual ReportCellmid 2019 Annual ReportNOTES TO THE 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CONTINUED

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as 

applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported 

separately from other changes in fair value.  

Impairment  

Intangible assets

Patents and trademarks

Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment 

losses.

Research and development 

Research expenditure and development expenditure that do not meet the criteria below are recognised as an expense as 

incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. 

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique products controlled by the 

group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:  

• it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use 

• management intends to complete the software and use or sell it 

• there is an ability to use or sell the software  

• it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits 

From 1 July 2018, the group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its debt instruments 

carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant 

increase in credit risk.  For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires 

expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

•  adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software are available, 

and 

• the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured.

Plant and equipment

Impairment of intangible assets.

Plant and equipment is measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation 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 during the financial period 

in which they are incurred.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. 

The assessment includes 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. The recoverable amounts of the asset is 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.

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

Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

its estimated recoverable amount

Depreciation / Amortisation

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. Amortisation of the cost of the Midkine protein asset is calculated on a ug (or 

mg) basis as the protein is consumed through research activities and/or production of MK Elisa kits.

The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are:

  Class of asset 

Depreciation Rate 

  Furniture and fittings 

20%

  Office equipment 

  Midkine 

6.7% – 33.33% 

Based on usage

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its plant and 

equipment. 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.

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.

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.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, it is 

probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. 

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. 

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by 

considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to 

any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present 

obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that 

reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the 

provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

Borrowings

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.

Share-based payments

Share -based compensation benefits are provided to employees and directors via an employee option plan and the executive 

incentive scheme. 

The fair value of options granted is recognised as a benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount 

to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted: 

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at 

- including any market performance conditions (e.g. the entity’s share price) 

amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in 

profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan 

facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be 

drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. 

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 

expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another 

party and the consideration paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss 

as other income or finance costs. 

-  excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. profitability, sales growth targets 

and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and 

-  including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save or holdings shares for a 

specific period of time).  

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions 

are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to 

vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if 

any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions 

Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all 

with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.  

or part of the liability, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying 

amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued. 

The fair value at grant date is determined using the 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

Employee benefits

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 allocated to share capital. 

Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees up to the end 

Contributed equity 

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 obligations

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 benefit obligations

Liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months from the reporting date is 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from 

the proceeds. 

Where any group company purchases the company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a 

share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) 

is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Group as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. 

Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental 

transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Group.

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 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable 

from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable

paid into the fund nominated by the employee. 

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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

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.  

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.

24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

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 statement of financial 

position.

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

Trade receivables and contract assets

The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss 

allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and 

the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 months before 30 

June 2019 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period.

On that basis, the loss allowance as at 30 June 2019 (on adoption of AASB 9) was determined as follows for trade receivables:

overdue 

More than 30 
days past due 

More than 60

(b) Liquidity risk

The Group’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks as described below. The Group’s overall risk management 

The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

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 arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures 

to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables.

• 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. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash 

flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum 

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

rating of ‘AA-’ are accepted.

If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, 

management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other 

factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the board.

Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk. There are no 

significant concentrations of credit risk (except for a single counterparty that makes up approximately 50% of the total trade 

receivables balance which was subsequently paid in July 2019), whether through exposure to individual customers, specific

(c) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

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 and US subsidiary, Advangen Inc and Advangen LLC.

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.
