Chairman’s Report 

My Fellow Shareholders, 

It is a pleasure to present the 2020 Annual Report for CardieX Limited.  

This past year has been challenging as we all adapt to a new personal and business environment. Notwithstanding 
those challenges we finished the year strongly, as shown by our June quarterly cash flow report and the strength 
shown by our core ATCOR business which continues to perform as we move into 2021.  

We have  commenced  the  2021  year  in  a position of strength  -  which has  been further bolstered  by  our  recent 
$2.5m  equity  raising.  Our  focus  remains  on  executing  on  our  product  plan  with  multiple  new  product  releases 
planned over the course of the next year as we target new medical and consumer technology markets in excess 
of  $US500b  globally.  More  details  are  included in  the following letter  from  our  CEO,  as  well as  the  Operations 
Update. 

Over the last year our executive team and management have continued to deliver on our strategic plan including 
multiple new partners, customers, and product development initiatives – all of which are driving the future value of 
our Company. I would like to thank all staff for their continuing efforts in this regard. I would also like to thank my 
fellow board members Craig Cooper (Director & CEO), King Nelson (independent US based Director), and our 
newly appointed Director Jarrod White (Director & CFO).  

I have great confidence for the years ahead as we continue to drive value for all our shareholders, and I would like 
to personally thank you for your ongoing support.  

Best regards and keep healthy, 

Niall Cairns 
Executive Chairman

Chief Executive Officer’s Report 

My Fellow Shareholders, 

It has been a significant year for us at CardieX as we continued our transition from a pure medical device business 
to  a  multi-platform  provider  of  consumer  and  medical  device  software/SaaS  based  solutions  –  all  based  on 
CardieX’s unique, market leading, and patented software algorithms and technology. 

Importantly, we have made significant progress in regards to new product development and partnerships that form 
the ecosystem of our focus on remote patient monitoring and telehealth, clinician SaaS solutions, and consumer 
digital health – all representing multi-billion-dollar market opportunities for your Company. 

Our core medical sales business, ATCOR, continues to perform strongly year-on-year with a focus on developing, 
marketing, and distributing medical technologies that measure patient risk for hypertension, cardiovascular disease 
and other related vascular disorders. 

ATCOR’s Clinical Trial Services team also continues to outperform with new contracts with major pharmaceutical 
companies such  as  AstraZeneca  and  Bayer  AG  –  a  strong  sign  that  the current  COVID-19  environment  is  not 
materially impacting the critical-need sector of cardiovascular health trials. 

ATCOR.X, a newly created division of ATCOR, is expanding and developing out our core “vital signs” technology 
into  new  markets  including  connected  fitness,  smart  devices,  and  wearables  –  sectors  that  I  believe  will  be  a 
significant opportunity for us over the coming years with the health wearable segment forecast to grow to $US37b 
by 2025. The immediate focus of the ATCOR.X being to drive the successful execution of our partnership with 
Mobvoi, Google’s in-country wearable partner in China, and to implement multiple new wearable partnerships for 
your Company over the course of 2021.  

And  finally,  our  partnerships  and  investments  in  inHealth  (telehealth  and  lifestyle  therapeutics)  and  Blumio 
(wearable radar sensors) continue to drive value for us as they each make progress on executing against their 
respective business plans. Most important in this regard is Blumio’s recent announcement of their partnership with 
semiconductor company  Infineon,  which  can  only  add  to  the  value  of  our  partnership  with  that  company  going 
forward. 

This next year will be the most significant year for the Company since I became your CEO. The last two years have 
been about repositioning your Company to take advantage of new market opportunities that are unique to our FDA-
cleared vital signs technology. Going into this next year I couldn’t be more excited and energized about our new 
product development and the impact we are poised to make on global health solutions.  

I would like to thank my fellow Board members and management and staff at CardieX who have worked tirelessly 
to realise our vision as we continue to grow shareholder value. The last year has been a difficult one for many of 
us personally but we have been lucky to have a strong, cohesive team that shares our collective vision for the 
Company as we continue to execute on our business plan. 

My best regards, 

Craig Cooper 
CEO & Managing Director 
CardieX Limited

Review of Operations 

The Company operates sales, development, and marketing activities in 6 key market sectors: 

1.  The  sale  and  marketing  of  XCEL  and  Oscar  2 medical  devices  for  the  management  and  diagnosis  of 

cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other vascular disorders ($US2.5b mkt size: 2025); 
2.  The provision of clinical trial services to research and pharmaceutical companies and institutions; 
3.  Development of consumer & medical wearable technologies ($US37.6b mkt size: 2025); 
4.  Technology licensing; 
5.  Digital health including telehealth, SaaS, and clinician and consumer digital portals and apps ($US509b 

mkt size: 2025); and 

6.  The  development  of  home  vital  signs  monitors  incorporating  the  company’s  patented  &  FDA-cleared 

SphygmoCor® technology. 

All  our  product  and  development  activity  is  founded  in  our  core  arterial  waveform  technology  –  known  as 
SphygmoCor®. CardieX is the only company that has FDA clearance for measuring central blood pressure, arterial 
stiffness, and other proprietary cardiovascular parameters non-invasively in adults. The Company’s SphygmoCor® 
technology currently has more than 4,500 installations globally and is used by leading research and pharmaceutical 
companies, such as Bayer, AstraZeneca, GSK and others. 

The Company provides an update on business operations throughout the year as follows:  

Wearable Sensor Technology Development 
CardieX’s strategy is to integrate its FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) cleared SphygmoCor® technology 
into  the  spectrum  of  smart  wearable  devices  for  consumer  and  medical  settings.  This  involves  a  complex  and 
significant technology and engineering effort in order to extract waveforms from a wearable plethysmogram (“PPG”) 
based  or  otherwise)  sensor  that  correlate  well  with  those  extracted by  its current  FDA-cleared device,  which is 
considered the gold standard for measuring an aortic arterial pressure waveform with cardiovascular features.  

In April, 2020, CardieX subsidiary ATCOR completed a major milestone in the development of its wearable sensor 
technology and derived a series of unique heart and arterial health features from a PPG sensor which have the 
potential  to  significantly  expand  the  clinical  and  consumer  applications  of  the  SphygmoCor®  technology.  As  a 
result, CardieX is now proceeding with the next phase of its JDA with Mobvoi, Google’s Wear OS partner in China. 
The Company has also submitted a new US patent application for its proprietary technology for PPG wearable 
sensors as well as a number of trademark applications for the medical and clinical data sets that the Company has 
been able to extract so far. 

ATCOR completed internal human studies (13 subjects, 157 signals, with an age range of 20 to 65 years, with 
results  distinguishing  between  healthy,  non-healthy,  young  and  elderly  participants)  and  in  conjunction  with 
Macquarie  University.  ATCOR  has  initially  determined  four  unique  and  proprietary  heart  and  arterial  health 
features,  which  are  believed  to  have  been  extracted  from  a  PPG  sensor  for  the  first  time  (see  below).  This 
represented Phase 1 of the Company’s PPG program, and ATCOR’s engineering team is now working to complete 
Phase 2, which includes development of multiple new clinically relevant features for blood pressure management. 

Mobvoi Development Partnership 
CardieX also has a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Mobvoi for the development of novel and proprietary 
health  technologies,  applications  and  features  to  be  integrated  into  Mobvoi’s  next  generation  smart  wearables. 
Mobvoi is Google’s official Wear OS partner in China. As a technology unicorn based in Beijing, Mobvoi boasts a 
stable of well-known investors, including Google, Volkswagen, ZhenFund and Sequoia Capital China. 

The Company’s partnership with Mobvoi is focused on the use of PPG sensors to derive unique consumer health 
functions for integration into Mobvoi smartwatches.  

During  the  last  quarter,  ATCOR  presented  the  results  of  its  PPG  research  and  engineering  efforts  to  Mobvoi. 
CardieX is now looking at expanding the opportunities under the JDA to new markets and other applications, such 
as the provision of data and related technologies to Mobvoi under a “services & subscription model”.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE 

New Patent and Trademark Applications 
On 1 June, CardieX submitted a US patent application in support of its wearable strategy. Provisional application 
63/031,645 describes a system and method of measuring medically reliable heart & arterial health indicators from 
a PPG light sensor on a wearable device when a user places their finger on the sensor. The determination of a 
heart  pulse  with  significant  heart  and  arterial  health  indicators  by  way  of  the  patent  could  previously  only  be 
obtained either invasively or through a medical device in a clinical setting.  

The biometric data captured by the PPG sensor correlates well with waveforms extracted by the Company’s gold 
standard SphygmoCor® algorithms, and the derived feature set includes: 

•  Heart Stress; 
•  Heart Age; 
•  Exercise Capacity; and 
•  Heart Rate-Plus. 

As the most widely used sensors on wearables, PPG sensors are incorporated into a broad range of devices from 
the world’s leading technology companies, including Apple, Samsung, Garmin, Mobvoi, Fitbit and others.  

The  first  application of  the patent  will  likely  be  on  Mobvoi  smartwatches,  but  CardieX  also  plans  to license  the 
technology to other wearable technology companies and include it in the Company’s own medical and consumer 
wearable devices.  

In  parallel  with  product  development  efforts,  CardieX  has  also  applied  for  trademark  protection  for  up  to  20 
proprietary new parameters and product/service brands in multiple geographies around the globe. 

Integrating Central Blood Pressure into New Home BP Monitors 
CardieX is developing a vision for its Complete BP™ solution, a powerful combination of brachial and central blood 
pressure which gives clinicians and consumers alike a more complete picture of blood pressure – all from a home-
based device.  

In late June 2020, as part of the development of an ATCOR home BP monitor, CardieX programmed and shipped 
prototype  chips  to  its  ODM  partner,  who  will  commence  integrating  the  Company’s  central  blood  pressure 
technology into a reference design for a standard brachial BP monitor. Further details of our device and market 
strategy remain confidential. Our new device development forms a key part of our remote patient monitoring and 
digital health solutions outlined below. 

Strategic Partnership with Blumio Continues to Add Value 
CardieX has several ongoing partnerships and development efforts, including a Co-Development Agreement (CDA) 
with  Silicon  Valley-based  Blumio  that  integrates  the  Company’s  proprietary  technology  into  the  Blumio  radar 
sensor. The partnership comprises two main parts: 

1.  A Co-Development Agreement (CDA) that provides for the integration of SphygmoCor® technology into 
the  Blumio  radar sensor,  allowing  for a  unique and  patented set  of  cardiovascular  data features  to  be 
extracted by the Blumio sensor; and 

2.  The Company’s investment in Blumio for 7.5% equity ownership with the potential to increase to 10% (for 

no additional cash investment) based on the achievement of certain additional milestones. 

CardieX continues to integrate its algorithms and technology into the Blumio sensor under the CDA and has met 
all  important  milestones  and  technology  standards  to  date.  For  its  part,  Blumio  recently  completed  its  first-
generation  sensor  development  kit as  one  of  the  major  milestones  under  the  CDA.  The  Blumio  Sensor 
Development  Kit  consists  of  a  radar  sensor  board,  a  wearable  enclosure and  a  small  processing  unit  running 
algorithms that generate an arterial waveform in real-time. This is the first step towards making Blumio’s sensor 
technology  commercially  available  to  device  makers  as  the  development  kit  enables  their  partners—including 
CardieX—to execute product development efforts in parallel.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE 

Large Global Players Partner with Blumio 
Recognizing the importance of the global market opportunity for the Blumio sensor, Swiss healthcare technologies 
company,  Roche,  selected  Blumio  for  a  pilot  project  to  explore  the  feasibility  of  integrating  Blumio’s  sensor 
technology into Roche's next-generation diagnostics devices. As part of this pilot project, Blumio then introduced 
global semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies AG into the dialogue with Roche, as Infineon currently 
manufactures a key component used in diagnostics devices from Roche.  

These discussions led to Blumio signing an agreement with Infineon (separate from its pilot agreement with Roche) 
to  co-develop  a  wearable,  non-invasive  blood  pressure  sensor  by  2021  based  on  Infineon’s  XENSIV™  radar 
chipset.  The  new  sensor  has  the  potential  to  disrupt  the  $US45  billion  market  for  wearable  cardiovascular 
monitoring devices by enabling continuous and precise BP measurement without a cuff. 

Blumio’s partnership with Infineon will further promote the accelerated commercialization of Blumio’s technology in 
one of the largest healthcare technology markets. Upon successful completion, a kit combining Infineon’s radar 
chipset and development board with Blumio’s software and algorithms will be released to consumer and medical 
wearable device makers to integrate into their blood pressure monitoring devices.  

All boats will rise as a result of this partnership between Infineon and Blumio, and CardieX will be working hard to 
further  refine  the  integration  of  its  SphygmoCor®  technology  into  the  Blumio  sensor  as  development  efforts 
continue. Ultimately from a commercial perspective, the Company’s strategy is to continue working with Blumio in 
parallel to the Infineon/Blumio efforts, so that our algorithms are supported and included in the commercial product 
of the parties. 

The Infineon Development Agreement and the Roche pilot project create the foundation for global development 
and application of Blumio’s sensor technology through the combined networks of both Roche and Infineon. 

SaaS, Digital Health, and Remote Patient Monitoring Platforms 
Our  digital  platform  consists  of  a  full  ecosystem  of  connected  devices  and  digital  solutions  for  remote  patient 
monitoring and consumer health including: 

•  ArtyNet™, a connected HIPPA compliant patient portal for clinicians to remotely manage patient health; 
•  Arty™, a consumer app that provides unique consumer health data based on our proprietary algorithms;  
•  Connected  devices  including  wearables  and  home  monitors  that  remotely  connect  to  both  Arty™  and 

ArtyNet™; 

•  A telehealth, messaging, and data transfer platform integrated into Arty™ that provides a full suite of tools 

for telehealth and remote patient monitoring; and  

•  A subscription-based SaaS platform. 

Together, these digital health assets provide clinicians and consumers with a proprietary suite of health tools unique 
to our FDA-cleared SphygmoCor® technology. Development work continues on the above with planned launch in 
2021 to coincide with our new Complete BP™ device outlined above. 

ATCOR ABPM Technology Recommended for MSAC Reimbursement 
A recommendation in June 2020 from the High Blood Pressure Research Council (HBRCA) that Australia’s Medical 
Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) and the Federal Minister for Health approve reimbursement of ambulatory 
blood  pressure  monitoring  (ABPM)  through  the  country’s  Medicare  Benefits  Schedule  (MBS)  could  increase 
demand for the Oscar 2 with SphygmoCor Inside ABPM in Australia. The Oscar 2 is a 24-hour ambulatory blood 
pressure monitor (ABPM) by SunTech Medical that includes the Company’s SphygmoCor® technology inside. This 
product is sold exclusively by ATCOR in Australia. 

HBRCA recommends that reimbursement be made available for diagnosis of hypertension in patients who have 
measured clinic-based blood pressure between 140/90 mmHg and 180/110 mmHg, with reimbursement up to once 
every  12  months  for  individuals  who  have  not  commenced  antihypertensive  medication.  The  average 
recommended fee is A$107.60. 

HBRCA estimates that more than 700,000 ABPM procedures will be required over the first three years of coverage.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE 
The Oscar 2 device adds ATCOR’s proprietary central blood pressure algorithms to a standard ABPM, providing 
the  benefits  of  central  pressure  waveform  analysis  for  enhancement  and  individualization  of  patient  care  over 
standard blood pressure monitoring. 

ATCOR Support for Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials Continues Apace 
ATCOR generates significant revenue each year in our clinical trials business unit. We contract with pharmaceutical 
companies  for  the  use  of  SphygmoCor®  XCEL  devices  and  the  provision  of  core  lab  and  data  management 
services for clinical trials — providing end-to-end service that ultimately delivers clean datasets to study sponsors. 
SphygmoCor®  technology  has  been  utilized  in  pharma  trials  across  the  therapeutic  spectrum,  participating  in 
clinical trials for hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, psoriasis, renal disease, and many other disease states. We 
are currently contracted for clinical trials that will enrol over 3,000 patients at more than 150 clinical trial sites in 20 
countries across the globe. 

ATCOR Technology to Feature Prominently in COVID-19 CARTESIAN Study 
In  a  significant  validation  of  our  technology,  our  SphygmoCor®  XCEL  device  was  selected  by  the  European 
ARTERY Society to exclusively measure central blood pressure and augmentation index in the CARTESIAN study 
— the first clinical trial to focus on the impact of COVID-19 on arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics.  

The longitudinal, multicentre study will recruit individuals with recently confirmed infection by SARS-Cov-2, who 
will undergo two visits – 3 to 6 months and 1 year after COVID-19 diagnosis. During each visit, assessment of 
carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and central hemodynamics will be performed. 

Ancillary studies will explore additional biomarkers of accelerated vascular aging. The CARTESIAN study aims to 
identify early predictors of cardiovascular events and inform better preventive care in a post-coronavirus world. 

Data from this study will also drive our product development going forward as we seek to refine our medical and 
consumer devices to better identify COVID-19 risk factors. 

Restructuring of Agreement with and Investment in inHealth Medical Inc 
After the end of Q4, CardieX announced it had restructured its partnership with and investment in inHealth Medical, 
following significant developments in both businesses since partnership commenced in 2018. 

Since then, the inHealth business has developed significantly. The company has signed major global corporations 
as partners and clients and continued to grow its private practice, partnerships and enterprise business revenues. 
In  addition,  inHealth  appointed  experienced  telehealth  veteran  and  technology  leader,  Harry  Kim,  as  CEO  and 
Chairman,  and  three  new  executive  hires  have  significantly  enhanced  the  management  team.  Interest  in  US 
telehealth  businesses  is  strong,  and  inHealth  is  well-positioned  to  raise  new  capital  at  significantly  favourable 
valuations from US-based investors and strategic parties, a process the company has already launched.  

CardieX and inHealth management teams agreed to restructure the partnership and investment to provide the best 
capital  structure  to  facilitate  new  investment,  while  ensuring  that  management  and  founders  are  appropriately 
incentivized to drive growth and continued success. Key changes were reducing the outstanding convertible note 
to USD2.5 million by repayment of USD0.5 million, extending the maturity date to 1 July 2021, and exchanging the 
option  to  move  to  50.5%  for  the  issuance  of  1%  of  the  fully  diluted  equity  of  inHealth.  This  results  in  CardieX 
increasing its shareholding to 8.7% and up to 37%, depending on the conversion of the convertible note and before 
further capital raising. 

Furthermore, CardieX and inHealth agreed to an ongoing Collaboration Agreement to develop hypertension and 
cardiovascular  programs  for  the  products,  solutions  and markets  addressed  by both  parties.  These  include the 
current  inHealth/CardieX  “Central  Blood  Pressure”  research  project  using  SphygmoCor®  XCEL  device, 
“Telemedicine to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Randomised Clinical Trial”, with Dr. Jeremy McConnell 
from  Florida,  USA,  as  the  lead  investigator.  Under  the  ongoing  Collaboration  Agreement,  it  is  expected  that  a 
number of other projects may be undertaken on a commercial arms-length basis. 

COVID-19 Update on Operations 
The  CardieX  team  is  spread  throughout  its  functional  HQs  in  Australia,  the  United  States,  and  China.  CardieX 
management  and  staff  have  all  continued  to  make  progress  tirelessly  during  COVID-19  restrictions  –  working 
remotely  via  video-conferencing  and  other  virtual  collaboration  tools  without  any  loss  in  productivity.  Team 
members are now carefully migrating back to the office while maintaining appropriate physical distancing and mask-
wearing protocols to protect the health and safety of the entire team.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE 
While restrictions slowed down certain operations, such as in-person sales calls, on-site consultations, and live 
marketing events at industry conferences and trade shows, CardieX accelerated the ongoing ramp-up of its digital 
marketing strategy. Highlights include: 

• 

eMarketing and hybrid email/phone campaigns to qualify warm leads, update our CRM database, and 
offer sales promotions to existing customers and new prospects languishing in COVID-19 limbo.  

• 

•  Addition of high-value content to both the CardieX and ATCOR websites, including recent research on 
the correlation between chronic hypertension and cognitive impairment as well as articles exploring the 
cardiovascular complications of COVID-19.  
Launch of a new webinar series in collaboration with leading industry partner, The American Academy of 
Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). The first webinar featured noted cardiologist and anti-aging expert, Dr. Mark 
Houston, discussing “New Approaches to Cardiovascular Aging—Central Pressure Waveforms & Arterial 
Stiffness  Assessment.”  Registrations  and  attendance  were  significant  and  follow-up  interest  has  been 
solid to date. 
Launch of a new series of video interviews, entitled “No Pressure”. In the first of this series, ATCOR Sales 
Director, Ric Ruffhead, sat down with Dr. Lee Marcus, a preventive cardiologist from New York, to discuss 
the  challenges  of  practicing  cardiovascular  medicine  at  the  US  epicentre  of  COVID-19,  and  the  likely 
impact on his practice in the future. 

• 

Board and Management Appointments 
CardieX announced the appointment of Mr. Jarrod White as a Director of CardieX in May, after the Board identified 
the practical issues and restrictions imposed on international travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Mr. White has been the CFO and Company Secretary of CardieX since early 2018, and he will continue in both 
roles with Philip Leighfield appointed as Joint Company Secretary. Mr. White’s appointment as a director is also 
recognition of his significant ongoing contribution to the Company. 

In addition, CardieX made several significant advances on our digital health solutions strategy. To drive and 
accelerate that strategy, CardieX made several key hires in Q4: 

•  Dan Posnack, Director of Product Development - Digital Health; 
•  Sameer Molvi, Senior Engineering Program Manager; 
•  Scott Kolek, Senior Software Engineer; 
•  Ehad Akeila, Senior Firmware Engineer; and 
•  Rebecca Davis, UI/UX Designer. 

Funding Status 
In December 2019 we raised $1.5 million, (including a commitment from major shareholder C2 Ventures for $0.5 
million, which is subject to shareholder approval) and in March 2020 we executed a $1.5 million R&D loan facility 
with Mitchell Asset Management. Early in the new financial year (announced in late July and completed in early 
August 2020) we raised $2.5 million - further increasing the Company’s cash reserves. 

Outlook 
Significant progress was achieved during the last year in relation to technological and commercial development as 
well as product expansion of the Company’s proprietary SphygmoCor® technology. The continued development 
of wearable sensor technologies in health-related devices provides a large market opportunity for CardieX in clinical 
and consumer applications, as does our future product portfolio of consumer, home, and clinician-focused medical 
devices and digital solutions.  

The Company is set to release a number of new products over the remainder of calendar 2020 and during 2021 
which will significantly expand the commercial opportunity for CardieX. Our strategy also continues to focus on 
developing the first “uncalibrated”, non-invasive and cuffless wearable sensor for monitoring blood pressure and 
other  cardiovascular  health  vital  signs  –  which  is  considered  to  one  of  the  “Holy  Grails”  in  wearable  health 
monitoring. We look forward to updating the market on further progress in this regard as well as in relation to all 
our product development activities.

REMUNERATION REPORT 

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and executives of CardieX Limited. The 
information in this report has been audited as required by 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

Non-executive directors 

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, 
the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board also 
refers to external surveys to ensure non-executive directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with 
the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive directors based on 
comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination 
of his own remuneration. Non-executive directors are entitled to receive share options, following approval by the 
shareholders of CardieX Limited. 

Non-executive  directors’  fees  are  determined  within  an  aggregate  directors’  fee  pool  limit,  which  is  periodically 
recommended for approval by shareholders. The pool was increased to $360,000 at the 2015 shareholder meeting, 
excluding share-based payments that are subject to separate shareholder approval. 

Executives 

The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and 
appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders.  

The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

competitiveness and reasonableness; 
acceptability to shareholders; 
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; 
transparency; and 
capital management. 

Alignment to shareholders’ interests: 

• 
• 
• 

has Company growth as a core component of plan design; 
focuses on sustained long-term growth in shareholder wealth; and 
attracts and retains high calibre executives. 

Alignment to program participants’ interests: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

rewards capability and experience; 
reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in Company value; 
provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and 
provides recognition for contribution. 

The Chief Executive Officer has been issued with 24 million performance rights in the year that will vest across 3 
equal  tranches  subject  to  incremental  improvements  in  the  Company’s  share  price.  All  other  directors  and key 
management personnel are on fixed remuneration as befitting their non-executive status. 

Details of the nature and amount of each element of the emoluments of each Director of CardieX Limited are set 
out below.

ABN 81 113 252 234 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of CardieX Limited and controlled 
entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’). The separate financial statements and notes of CardieX Limited as an 
individual  parent  entity  (‘Company’)  have  not  been  presented  within  the  financial  report  as  permitted  by  the 
Corporations Act 2001. CardieX Limited is a for-profit entity. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 31 August 2020 by the directors of the Company.  

Basis of Preparation 
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Australian  Accounting  Standards  set  out  accounting  policies  that  the  AASB  has  concluded  would  result  in  a 
financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which 
they  apply.  Compliance  with Australian  Accounting  Standards ensures  that  the  financial statements  and notes 
also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards.  Material  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the 
preparation  of  this  financial  report  are  reported  below.  They  have  been  consistently  applied  unless  stated 
otherwise. All applicable new accounting standards have been adopted for the year ended 30 June 2020 unless 
otherwise stated and their adoption did not have a significant impact on the financial performance or position of 
the consolidated entity. 

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where 
applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets,  financial  assets  and  financial 
liabilities. 

Accounting Policies 

a. 

Going Concern 
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity 
of  normal  business  activities  and  the  realisation  of  assets  and  the  discharge  of  liabilities  in  the  normal 
course of business. 

At the date of signing, the Directors have assessed that there is a material uncertainty related to going 
concern that may cast significant doubt over the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern given 
that the Group incurred a loss after tax of $3,320,427 (2019: $2,979,278) and had net cash outflows from 
operating activities of $1,698,851 for the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: $2,290,773).  As a result of these 
conditions the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course 
of business.  

The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds that the Group will be able to continue as a going 
concern, after consideration of the following factors: 

• 

• 

• 

The Group has cash and cash equivalents of $2,061,642 as at 30 June 2020 (2019: $4,980,826). 
As  at  that  date,  the  Group  had  net  assets  of  $5,880,001  (2019:  $6,950,935).  The  Group  has 
performed a cash flow forecast and determined that it has adequate cash resources in place to 
fund its operations for the next 12 months, subject to additional capital raisings taking place.  
If required, the Group has the ability to continue to raise additional funds on a timely basis 
pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001. The Group has raised $1,000,000 in equity funding and 
$1,500,000 in debt funding in the previous 12-month reporting period, as well as a further 
$2,500,000 since 30 June 2020. The Directors have no reason to believe that it will not be able 
to continue to source equity or alternative funding if required; and 
The Group has the ability to scale back a significant portion of its development activities if 
required.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

a. 

b. 

Going Concern (Cont.) 
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern, and that it is 
appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report. 

Principles of Consolidation 
A controlled entity is any entity CardieX Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies 
of so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a 
30 June 2020 financial year-end for this current year. 

As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the 
consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year ended.  

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits 
or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed 
where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the Company. 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, their operating results have been 
included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.  

c. 

Revenue Recognition 
To determine whether to recognise revenue and what price, the Group follows a 5-step process: 

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 

Identifying the contract with a customer 
Identifying the performance obligations 
Determining the transaction price 
Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations 
Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied. 

Total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on 
their relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected 
on behalf of third parties.  

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance 
obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.  

The Group has identified the following revenue streams: 

Sale of goods 
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery 
of  the  goods,  the  control  is  transferred  to  the  customer  and  there  is  a  valid  sales  contract.  Amounts 
disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts. 

Lease income 
The  Group  earned  lease  income  from  both  finance  and  operating  lease  of  goods,  and  continues  to 
recognise related income in line with AASB 16 Leases.  The Group recognises unearned revenue for lease 
income  received  in  advance  where  the  benefit  from  the  use  of  the  underlying  asset  has  not  been 
diminished. The unearned revenue is reported in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Group 
provides  benefits  from  the  underlying  asset  before  it  receives  the  consideration,  the  Group  recognises 
either a contract lease asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether 
something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

c. 

Revenue Recognition (Cont.) 

For operating leases the lease income and interest in relation to the goods are recognised over time per 
the terms set in the contract with the customer.  

For goods sold on a finance lease, income is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer 
has taken delivery of the goods, the control is transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. 
Any  associated  interest  income  is  recognised  over the life  of  the lease in line  with  the  terms set in the 
contract with the customer.  

Service income 
Service  income  is  recognised  over  time  in  line  with  management’s  assessment  of  the  performance 
obligations under each contract.  

Freight income 
Freight income is recognised when the control is transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales 
contract. 

Royalty income 
Royalty income is recognised when entitled under royalty agreements.  

Other revenue  
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.  

d. 

Government Grants 
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary 
to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. 

Research and development grant income 
Research and development grant income is recognised when the Group is entitled to the research and 
development  grant.  The  amount  is  treated  as  other  income  in  the  period  in  which  the  research  and 
development costs were incurred. 

Forgivable loans 
Income resulting from the forgiveness of a Government loan is recognised when realised, meaning the final 
forgiveness amount has been determined and forgiveness has been issued by the Government. Until it is 
reasonably  certain  that  forgiveness  will  be  issued,  the  loan  amount  is  recognised  as  a financial liability 
under AASB 9. 

e. 

Plant and Equipment  
Each class  of  property,  plant and  equipment is carried at cost or  fair  value  less,  where  applicable, any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to 
the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.  

The useful lives used for depreciable assets are: 
Class of Fixed Asset 
Manufacturing plant and equipment 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 
Devices leased to customers 
Lease improvements 

Useful lives 
  3 – 10 years 
3 – 5 years 
3 – 4 years 
Life of lease

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

e. 

Plant and Equipment (cont.) 
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance 
sheet date.   

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.  
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

f. 

g. 

Impairment of Assets 
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether 
there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable 
amount  of  the  asset,  being  the  higher  of  the  asset’s  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use,  is 
compared  to  the  asset’s  carrying  value.  Any  excess  of  the  asset’s  carrying  value  over  its  recoverable 
amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

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.  

Financial Instruments 
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition  
Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  Company  becomes  a  party  to  the 
contractual  provisions  of  the  financial  instrument  and  are  measured  initially  at  fair  value  adjusted  by 
transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially 
at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.  

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset 
expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial 
liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.  

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets 

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are 
measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 9, all financial assets are initially measured 
at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).  

Hybrid contracts 

If a hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset, the policies applicable to financial assets are 
applied consistently to the entire contract. 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets  
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective 
as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:   

• 
• 
• 
• 

financial assets at amortised cost  
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)  
debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)  
equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) 

g. 

Financial Instruments (Cont.) 
Classifications are determined by both:  

• 
• 

the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset   
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets  

All income  and expenses  relating  to  financial  assets  that  are  recognised in  profit or loss are  presented 
within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables 
which is presented within other expenses.  

Financial assets at amortised cost  
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not 
designated as FVPL):   

• 

• 

they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect 
its contractual cash flows  
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding   

After  initial  recognition,  these  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method. 
Discounting  is  omitted  where  the  effect  of  discounting  is  immaterial.  The  Company’s  cash  and  cash 
equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) 
Financial assets that are held within a business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ 
are  categorised  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss.  Further,  irrespective  of  business  model,  financial 
assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at 
FVPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective 
as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply.   

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI)  
Financial  assets  with  contractual  cash  flows  representing  solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest and 
held within a business model of collecting the contractual cash flows and selling the assets are accounted 
for at FVOCI. Any gains or losses recognised in OCI will be recycled upon derecognition of the asset.  

Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)  
Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at 
inception  to  be  measured  at  FVOCI.  Under  this  category,  subsequent  movements  in  fair  value  are 
recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income is 
taken to profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.  

Impairment of Financial assets  
The  Group  recognises  a  loss allowance for  expected  credit  losses on  financial  assets  which are  either 
measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the 
loss allowance depends upon the Group's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether 
the  financial  instrument's  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition,  based  on 
reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. 

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-
month  expected  credit  loss  allowance  is  estimated.  This  represents  a  portion  of  the  asset's  lifetime 
expected  credit  losses that  is attributable  to  a default event  that is  possible  within  the  next  12  months. 
Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased 
significantly,  the  loss  allowance  is based  on  the  asset's  lifetime  expected  credit losses. The  amount of 
expected  credit  loss  recognised  is  measured  on  the  basis  of  the  probability  weighted  present  value  of 
anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Financial Instruments (Cont.) 
For  financial  assets  mandatorily  measured  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income,  the  loss 
allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or 
loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's carrying value with a corresponding expense 
through profit or loss. 

Trade and other receivables and contract assets  
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as 
contract assets and records the loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected lifetime credit losses. 
In using this practical expedient, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-
looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix.   

The  Group  assess  impairment  of  trade  receivables  on  a  collective  basis  as  they  possess  credit  risk 
characteristics based on the days past due.  

All financial assets, except for those at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) and equity investments at 
fair value through other comprehensive income (equity FVOCI), are subject to review for impairment at 
least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a 
group of financial assets is impaired.  

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income   
The Group recognises 12 months expected credit losses for financial assets at FVOCI. As most of these 
instruments have a high credit rating, the likelihood of default is deemed small. However, at each reporting 
date  the  Company  assesses  whether  there  has  been  a  significant  increase  in  the  credit  risk  of  the 
instrument.  

In assessing these risks, the Group relies on readily available information such as the credit ratings issued 
by  the  major  credit  rating  agencies  for  the  respective  asset.  The  Group  only  holds  simple  financial 
instruments for which specific credit ratings are usually available. In the unlikely event that there is no or 
only little information on factors influencing the ratings of the asset available, the Group would aggregate 
similar instruments into a portfolio to assess on this basis whether there has been a significant increase in 
credit risk.  

In  addition,  the  Group  considers  other  indicators  such  as  adverse  changes  in  business,  economic  or 
financial conditions that could affect the borrower’s ability to meet its debt obligation or unexpected changes 
in the borrowers operating results.  

Should  any  of  these  indicators  imply  a  significant  increase  in  the  instrument’s  credit  risk,  the  Group
recognises for this instrument or class of instruments the lifetime expected credit losses.  

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities  
As the accounting for financial liabilities remains largely unchanged from AASB 139, the Group’s financial 
liabilities were not impacted by the adoption of AASB 9. However, for completeness, the accounting policy 
is  disclosed  below.  The  Group’s  financial  liabilities  include  borrowings,  trade  and  other  payables  and 
derivative financial instruments. 

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs 
unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.  Subsequently, financial 
liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and 
financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses 
recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as 
hedging instruments).

Employee Benefits 
Provision  is  made  for  the  Group’s  liability  for  employee  benefits  arising  from  services  rendered  by 
employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later 
than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made for 
those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with 
terms to maturity that match the expected timing of the cash flows. 

Leases 
AASB 16 was issued in February 2016 for adoption from January 2019. The Group has decided to early 
adopt the standard from 1 July 2018. It has resulted in almost all the Group’s leases being recognised on 
the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets, as the distinction between operating and finance 
leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial 
liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. 

The Group has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative 
information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the preceding standard, AASB 117 
Leases. 

Where a lease is identified at inception, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at 
the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the 
ignition amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement 
date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying 
asset  or  to  restore  the  underlying  asset  or  the  site  on  which  it  is  location,  less  any  leased  incentives 
received.  

The  Group assesses  whether  a contract  is or contains a lease,  at  inception  of  the contract.  The  Group 
recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements 
in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined at leases with a lease term of 12 months or 
less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an 
operating expense son a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is 
more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. 

The Group used the following practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified 
as operating leases under AASB117.  

•  Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 

12 months of lease term. 

•  Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial acquisition. 
•  Used  hindsight  when  determining  the  lease  term  if  the  contract  contains  options  to  extend  or 

terminate the lease.  

Contract liabilities 
Contract  liabilities  represent  the  Group's  obligation  to transfer  goods  or  services  to  a  customer and  are 
recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the Group recognises a receivable to reflect its 
unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the Group has transferred the goods or 
services to the customer. 

Borrowings 
Loans  and  borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received,  net  of 
transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

l. 

Equity-Settled Compensation 
There has been no equity based compensation with the exception of that described in Note 25. The capital 
subscribed to as per this note was acquired at fair value at the time of purchase. 

Options issues have their fair value determined with reference to an approved valuation methodology, such 
as  the  Black-Scholes  valuation  method.  On  issue,  the  fair  value  of  an  option  is  taken  to  the  Income 
Statement as equity settled compensation, with a corresponding credit to the options reserve. This is then 
disclosed as other comprehensive income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income to show other net 
profit position of the Group from a third party perspective. 

Shares have their value determined using the direct method of share price at date of issue multiplied by 
the number of shares issued. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

Trade and Other Receivables 
Trade receivables are recognised when the control of ownership of the underlying sales transactions have 
passed to the customer in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the 
amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when 
they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the 
contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method. 

The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The Group’s trade and other receivables at year end 
and  now  assessed  under  the  new  impairment  requirements  which  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 asset has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL 
method is adopted. 

Inventories 
Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable  value.  Cost  includes  all  expenses  directly 
attributable  to  the  manufacturing  process  as  well  as  suitable  portions  of  related  production  overheads, 
based  on  normal  operating  capacity.  Costs  are  assigned  using  the  first  in,  first  out  cost  formula.  Net 
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling 
expenses. 

Trade and Other Payables 
Liabilities for creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost, which is the present value of the 
consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group. 
The carrying period is dictated by market conditions but is generally less than 30 days. 

Provisions 
The Group’s provisions consist of short-term and long-term employee benefits. 

Short-term employee benefits 
Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled 
wholly  within  12  months  after  the  end  of  the  period  in  which  the  employees  render  the  related  service. 
Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. 
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the 
liabilities are settled.

Provisions (Cont.) 
Other long-term employee benefits  
The Group’s liabilities for annual leave and long service leave are included in other long term benefits as 
they  are  not  expected  to  be  settled  wholly  within  12  months  after  the  end  of  the  period  in  which  the 
employees  render  the  related  service.  They  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  expected  future 
payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage 
and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates 
determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds 
that  have  maturity  dates  that  approximate  the  timing  of  the  estimated  future  cash  outflows.  Any  re-
measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit 
or loss in the periods in which the changes occur. The Group presents employee benefit obligations as 
current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the Group does not have an unconditional right to 
defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement 
is expected to take place. 

Income Tax 
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based 
on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior 
periods, where applicable. 

CardieX Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation 
legislation as of July 1, 2005. 

The head entity, CardieX Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their 
own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts.  These  amounts  are  measured  as  if  each  entity  in  the  tax 
consolidated group continues to be a standalone taxpayer in its own right. 

Finance Costs 
Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily 
take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those 
assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. 

All other finance costs are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. 

Right of Use Asset   
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprised the initial amount of the lease liability 
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs 
incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying 
or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.  

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group 
recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements 
in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or 
less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an 
operating expenses on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is 
more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement 
date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The 
estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and 
equipment.  In  addition,  the  right-of-use  asset  is  periodically  reduced  by  impairment  losses,  if  any,  and 
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

u. 

Lease Liabilities 
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of fixed lease payments that are not yet paid at 
the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be 
readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.  

Variable lease payments are only included in measuring the lease liability if they depend on a rate. In such 
cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumed the variable element will remain unchanged 
throughout the lease term. 

Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is 
remeasured when there is a change in further lease payments arising from a change in the market rate.  

Refer to Note 21 for further details.  

v. 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of 
GST  incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  Australian  Tax  Office.  In  these  circumstances  the  GST  is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables 
and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.  

Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST components 
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. There is provision made 
in the Statement of Cash Flows to disclose the applicable GST refunds/payments that have been remitted 
to the ATO to accurately show the cash position of CardieX Limited. 

w. 

Foreign Currency Translation 
Functional currency 
Items included in the financial statements of the Group’s operations are measured using the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which it operates (‘the functional currency’).   

The functional currency of the Company and controlled entities registered in Australia is Australian dollars 
(AU$). 

The functional currency of the AtCor Medical Inc is United States dollars (US$). 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates ruling 
at  the  date  of  the  transaction.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are 
retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Foreign exchange gains and 
losses  resulting  from  settling  foreign  currency  transactions,  as  well  as  from  restating  foreign  currency 
denominated monetary assets and liabilities, are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred 
in  other  comprehensive  income  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  or  where  they  relate  to  differences  on 
foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. 

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates 
at the date when fair value was determined. 

Presentation currency 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. 

Functional currency balances are translated into the presentation currency using the exchange rates at the 
balance sheet date. Value differences arising from movements in the exchange rate is recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income.

standards. 

Critical Accounting Judgements. Estimates and Assumptions 
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. 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has 
had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of 
the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the 
Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either 
any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events 
or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result 
of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

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.

Critical Accounting Judgements. Estimates and Assumptions 
Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of goods 
When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of goods to customers, the key performance obligation of 
the Groupis considered to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, as this is deemed to be 
the time that the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded 
access. 

Allowance for expected credit losses 
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is 
based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to 
allocate  an  overall  expected  credit  loss  rate  for  each  group.  These  assumptions  include  recent  sales 
experience, historical collection rates, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and forward-
looking information that is available. 

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. 

Employee benefits provision 
As discussed in note 1, 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.

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  where  management  considers 
that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profits  will  be  available  to  utilise  those  temporary  differences. 
Significant judgement is required on the part of management and the Board to determine the amount of 
deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable 
profits over the future years together with future tax planning strategies. Management and the Board have 
determined not to raise any deferred tax assets which are estimated at $11,158,840 during the full year 
ended 30 June 2020 so as to enable the Board to determine more reliably the probability of utilising these 
tax assets in the foreseeable future. 

Lease term 
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease 
liability.  Judgement  is  exercised  in  determining  whether  there  is  reasonable  certainty  that  an  option  to 
extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will 
not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease 
term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or 
not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered 
may include the importance of the asset to the Group’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to 
prevailing  market  rates; 
leasehold 
improvements;  and  the  costs  and  disruption  to  replace  the  asset.  The  Group  reassesses  whether  it  is 
reasonably  certain  to  exercise  an  extension  option,  or  not  exercise  a  termination  option,  if  there  is  a 
significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Critical Accounting Judgements. Estimates and Assumptions (Cont.) 
Incremental borrowing rate 
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is 
estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease 
commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party 
to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar 
terms, security and economic environment.  

Impairment – general 
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events 
specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets 
are reassessed using value‐in‐use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. 

Platform and product development costs 
Platform and development costs have been expensed in the year in which incurred. These amounts have 
not  been  capitalised  on  the  basis  that  the  directors  consider  that  the  expenditures  do  not  meet  the 
recognition criteria of development costs as defined by AASB 138 Intangible Assets. 

Functional Currency 
The Group has operations in both the US and Australia, however the functional currency is deemed to be 
Australian dollars as the Group is listed on the Australian stock exchange and the main operations are 
located in Australia. 

Functional currency of AtCor Medical Inc.  
In determining that United States dollar (US$) is the functional currency of AtCor Medical Inc., management 
have applied judgement to assess the currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the 
underlying transactions,  events  and conditions  in  AMI.  Management  have considered  the  currency that 
mainly influences sales prices for goods and services and labour, material and other costs of providing 
goods or services. 

Fair value measurement hierarchy  
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three 
level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, 
being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity 
can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that 
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for 
the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and 
therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.  

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. 
These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant 
adjustments based on unobservable inputs.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted 

IFRIC 23: Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments 
The Group has adopted IFRIC 23 from 1 July 2019, which requires entities to consider if it is probable that 
the tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment.  

At 30 June 2020, the Group has not identified any uncertain tax treatments and as a result, the adoption 
of IFRIC 23 did not have a significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group as at 
30 June 2020 or on opening accumulated losses at 1 July 2019.

CardieX leases multiple medical devices to customers as part of pharmaceutical trials. The amounts are paid over 
an accelerated term per the signed contract, and then revenue is recognised on a straight line basis based on the 
amount of equipment delivered. The equipment is leased to the customer for approximately 2 years which is not 
considered to be a major part of the economic life of the asset. The equipment is returned to CardieX at the end 
of the lease and the equipment can continue to be used without any major modification.

The Group has carried forward tax losses, calculated according to Australian income tax legislation of $40,577,600
(2019: $38,018,179), which will be deductible from future assessable income provided that income is derived, 
and: 

a)  The Company and its controlled entities carry on a business of, or a business that includes software 

development in Australia; and 

b)  No change in tax legislation adversely affects the Group and its controlled entities in realising the benefit 

from the deduction for the losses. 

The benefit of these losses will only be recognised where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available 
against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are estimated but not 
recognised at $11,158,840 at 30 June 2020 (2019: $10,454,999). 

CardieX  Limited and  its  wholly-owned  Australian controlled  entities  are  consolidated  for  income tax  purposes.  
The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in note 1(r). 

As at the date of this report the entities in the tax consolidation group had not entered into a tax sharing agreement. 
No compensation has been received or paid for any current tax payable or deferred tax assets relating to tax 
losses assumed by the parent entity since implementation of the tax consolidation regime.

NOTE 9: TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONT.) 

a) 
Trade receivables and other receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 60 day terms. 

Impaired trade receivables 

The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The Group’s trade and other receivables at year end are now 
assessed under the new impairment requirements which 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 asset 
has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. 

As at 30 June 2020 current trade receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $68,164 (2019: $138,485) were 
fully impaired.

Blumio Inc 
• 

In March 2018, the Company entered into a convertible note purchase agreement for the acquisition of a 
Convertible Note (the “Blumio Note”) issued by Blumio Inc, payable in two instalments. The full principal 
balance of US$600,000 payable under the Blumio Note agreement was met on 14 March 2019; 

•  Both the debt and derivative components of the Blumio Note are measured as a single instrument at fair 
value through profit and loss (FVTPL). It is measured at FVTPL as there is an embedded conversion 
feature. The term of the Blumio Convertible Note continues until a fundraising event of more than 
$8,000,000 occurs at which point the investment will convert into shares in the Blumio at a 20% discount 
to the price of the fundraising; 

•  As at 30 June 2020, the total convertible note asset was $942,373 made up of $874,253 of payments 

and $68,120 in interest.

inHealth Medical Services 

•  On 31 January 2019, the Company exercised in full its option under the agreement to purchase 

US$3,000,000 of inHealth Medical Services “Tranche 2” (T2) Convertible Note (the “inHealth Note”) 
securities; 

•  Both the debt and derivative components of the inHealth Note are measured as a single instrument at 

FVTPL; 

•  By 31 December 2019, the Company had paid the full US$3,000,000 to inHealth under the Agreement 

for the T2 Notes; 

•  By 30 June 2020, the Company and inHealth had signed an agreement to restructure the partnership. 
Key changes were reducing the outstanding convertible note to US$2,500,000 by repayment of 
US$500,000, extending the maturity date to 1 July 2021, and exchanging the option to move to 50.5% 
for the issuance of 1% of the fully diluted equity of inHealth (Note 31); 

There is an intention for an additional US$1,000,000 to be repaid by 30 June 2021: 

• 
•  As at 30 June 2020, the total convertible note asset was $4,742,045 made up of the initial $4,371,266 
payment and $370,779 in interest. As at 30 June 2020, the Company holds 7.7% equity in inHealth 
Medical Services, Inc. 

NOTE 18: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT 

Fair value measurement hierarchy  
The  following  tables  detail  the  Group’s  assets  and  liabilities,  measured  or  disclosed  at  fair  using  a  three  level 
hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:  

• 

• 

• 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can 
access at the measurement date;  
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 
liability, either directly or indirectly; and  
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine 
what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be 
subjective.

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. 

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables are assumed to approximate their fair value due to their short-
term nature. 

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities are the current 
market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. 

The following valuation techniques are used for instruments categorised in Level 3:  

Convertible notes (Level 3) – The Group’s holding of convertible notes issued by Blumio and inHealth are classified 
as loans held at FVTPL. The Group periodically reviews the fair value of the convertible notes by reviewing the 
credit risk posed by the borrowers and the operations of the underlying business. 

Shares in inHealth (Level 3) – The fair value of this investment was determined based on an appropriate equity 
pricing model that takes into account the investee’s expected future performance and based on an appropriate 
growth factor for a similar listed entity and a risk adjusted discount rate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 19: IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS 

The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity's non-financial assets has been determined by a value-in-use 
calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 2 year projection period approved by management 
and extrapolated for a further 3 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value. 

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is most sensitive. 

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model: 

• 
• 
• 

14.6% pre-tax discount rate; 
10% per annum projected revenue growth rate; 
3% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads. 

The discount rate of 14.6% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated 
entity’s  weighted  average  cost  of  capital  adjusted  for  the  computer  retailing  division,  the  risk  free  rate  and  the 
volatility of the share price relative to market movements. 

Management believes the projected 10% revenue growth rate is prudent and justified, based on the revenue growth 
in the prior year and outlook for the following 12 months. 

Management have reduced their estimation of the increase in operating costs and overheads, due to the lower 
inflation rate and also an effort by the consolidated entity to contain costs. 

There were no other key assumptions for the ATCOR division. 

Based on the above, it was assessed that the recoverable amount for the ATCOR division exceeded the carrying 
amount of the Group’s non-financial assets, therefore there was no requirement to record any impairment.

In January 2019, C2 Ventures Pty Ltd applied to the Company for 2,500,000 convertible notes at $1 per note.  

On  6  March  2019,  1,638,503 notes  were  converted to  shares  and  a  further  640,303  notes  were  converted  to 
shares on 21 November 2019. The current liability at 30 June 2020 relates to the remaining 221,194 notes to be 
converted in FY2021 at $1 per note, plus $28,253 in interest.  

The convertible notes issued by the Group have been split into the debt liability and a derivative component. The 
debt liability has been valued at amortised cost and the derivative component of convertible notes issued has 
been calculated as the residual value of the notes once the fair value of the debt has been deducted from the face 
value of the notes. 

Key terms of the convertible notes per the Convertible Note Deed (the “Deed”) are as follows: 

Term: 

36 months 

Drawdown date: 

23 January 2019 

Funds received: 

AU$2,500,000 

Interest payable: 

6% per annum, accrued daily, capitalised quarterly 

Conversion:

Paycheck Protection Program 
In April 2020, the Group received a non-dilutive loan under the US Government’s Paycheck Protection Program 
(PPP). The PPP is a disaster relief program in the US providing loans to small businesses for the purposes of 
paying for payroll, rent and utilities. These small business loans have a loan forgiveness feature that may enable 
the foregoing of repayment on a portion of the loan amount. The terms of this loan are: 

• 
• 

1% annual interest rate; 
The loan may be forgivable if more than 60% of the funds are used to cover payroll costs over a period 
of 24 weeks, with the balance required to be used for rent and utilities. The forgivability of the loan will 
be proportionate to the level of staff retained by the employer; 

•  Any outstanding amounts are repayable by April 2022. 

The Group intends to apply for forgiveness in the first half of FY21.

Fair value of options granted 

The weighted average assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 2020 was 0.7¢
cents per option (2019: 2.97¢). The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model 
that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 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. 

Free attaching options 
These options were provided to investors who participated in the Dec 2019 capital raising, where they were provided 
1 option for every 4 shares with an exercise price of $0.05. The options have no value as they were not provided for 
any consideration or services in return.

Share-based payments reserve 
The based-payments reserve records the fair value of options and performance rights on issue. 

Derivative reserve 
The derivative reserve records the issue date value of the derivative financial instruments recognised in equity. In 
FY20,  the  increase  in  the  derivative  reserve  resulted  from  the  issue  of  convertible  notes.  The  value  of  the 
derivative component of convertible notes issued has been calculated as the residual value of the notes once the 
fair value of the debt has been deducted from the face value of the notes. 

Foreign currency reserve 
The reserve is used to recognise exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of 
foreign  operations  to  Australian  dollars.  It  is  also  used  to  recognise  gains  and  losses  on  hedges  of  the  net 
investments in foreign operations.

The  CardieX  Employee  Option  Plan  was  approved  by  shareholders  at  the  2005  annual  general  meeting  and 
amendments were approved at the 2006 & 2008 annual general meetings.  All staff are eligible to participate in 
the  plan  at  the  discretion  of  the  directors  (including  executive  directors)  following  recommendations  from  the 
remuneration committee, a sub-committee of the CardieX Limited Board of Directors. 

Options are granted under the plan for no consideration.  Options are granted for a 5-year period, and 33.3% of 
each new tranche vests and is exercisable after each of the first 3 anniversaries of the date of grant. 

Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. 

When exercisable, each option is convertible into 1 ordinary share. 

The  exercise price  of  options is  no less  than  the  weighted average  price  at  which  the  Company’s  shares  are 
traded on the Australian Stock Exchange during the 5 trading days immediately before the options are granted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 29: CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

Capital management 
The group’s objectives when managing the Company’s share capital, reserves and accumulated losses, which 
represents the group’s capital, are to: 

• 

• 

safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for 
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and 
sustain future product development. 

Financial risk management 
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (primarily currency risk), credit risk, and 
liquidity risk.  The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets 
and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the  Group.  The  Group  uses 
different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.  These methods include sensitivity 
analysis in the case of foreign exchange risk and aging analysis for credit risk. 

Financial risk management is carried out by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and overseen by the Audit & Risk 
Committee, a subcommittee of the Board of Directors. 

(a) 

Market risk 

Foreign exchange risk 
Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  when  future  commercial  transactions  and  recognised  assets  and  liabilities  are 
denominated  in  a  currency  that  is  not  the  entity’s  functional  currency.  The  risk  is  measured  using  sensitivity 
analysis and cash flow forecasting. 
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to 
the US Dollar and the Euro. 

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Credit risk 

(b) 
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and 
financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed 
transactions. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk.  For banks and financial institutions, only 
independently rated and reputable parties are accepted. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of 
products  and  services  are  made  to  customers  with  an  appropriate  credit  history.  Terms  of  trade  provided  to 
creditworthy customers are between 30 and 90 days, whilst customers deemed higher risk arrange a letter of 
credit or prepay for goods. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of 
the financial assets.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 29: CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT.) 

Liquidity risk 

 (c) 
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability 
of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.  
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the 
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.  

Interest rate risk 

(d) 
The consolidated entity's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable 
rates  expose  the  consolidated  entity  to  interest  rate  risk.  Borrowings  obtained  at  fixed  rates  expose  the 
consolidated entity to fair value risk.  

Fair value estimation 

(e) 
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or 
for  disclosure  purposes.  The  carrying  value  less  impairment  provision  of  trade  receivables  and  payables  are 
assumed  to  approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short-term  nature.    The  fair  value  of  financial  liabilities 
approximates their carrying values. 

NOTE 30: SEGMENT REPORTING 

Description of segments 

(a) 
In the 2020 financial year, the Group operated in one operating segment, being sales of cardiovascular devices 
and services to hospitals, clinics, research institutions and pharmaceutical companies. 

Management has determined the reporting segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors 
that  are  used  to  make  strategic  decisions.    The  Board  generally  considers  the  business  from  a  geographical 
perspective and has identified three reportable segments by geographic area.  

Geographic areas are: 

- 
- 
- 

Americas (includes global pharmaceutical trials business) 
Europe (includes Middle East and Africa) 
Asia Pacific (includes Asia & Australia/NZ)

Notes to and forming part of the segment information 

Inter-segment transfers 
Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. The group transfer inventory and 
finished  goods  between  its  group  companies.  Such  transfers  are  priced  on  an  ''arm’s-length''  basis  and  are 
eliminated on consolidation. 

Segment revenue 
There was no significant concentration of revenue attributable to one customer in 2020 (2019: $NIL). 

 (d) 

Disaggregation of revenue 

Revenue is disaggregated by the country in which the customer is located as this depicts how the nature, amount, 
timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of CardieX Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Qualified opinion 

We have audited the financial report of CardieX Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes 
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ 
declaration. 

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section 
of our report, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i) 

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and  

(ii) 

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for qualified opinion 

The Group's financial assets balance includes investments in convertible notes which are carried in the 
statement of financial position at $6,028,392 as at 30 June 2020 as detailed in Note 17.  Due to the 
investees being at their development stage, there was limited evidence available to support the 
carrying value of the investment. The economic uncertainty associated with the global COVID-19 
outbreak has further impacted the availability of appropriate documentation to support the carrying 
value of the investment. As a result of the information not being available, we were unable to obtain 
sufficient appropriate audit evidence about the carrying amount of the Group's financial assets as at 30 
June 2020. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts 
were necessary. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) 
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO 
Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of 
BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member 
firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our qualified opinion.  

Material uncertainty related to going concern 

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which 
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and 
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this 
matter. 

Key audit matters 

Except for the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section and Material uncertainty 
related to going concern section, we have determined that there are no other key audit matters to 
communicate in our report. 

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

2 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:  

https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf 

This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 15 to 18 of the directors’ report for the 
year ended 30 June 2020. 

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

Responsibilities 

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