Development  Plan  for  DMX-200  in  Focal  Segmental  Glomerularsclerosis  (FSGS).  This  event  triggered 
Milestone B of the Class B performance shares which were issued to the Dimerix Bioscience vendors on 
3 July 2015.  As such, 75,000,040 Class B Performance Shares converted to 75,000,040 ordinary shares. 

Overview of Group strategy 

The  acquisition  of  Dimerix  Biosciences  Limited  into  the  group  has  resulted  in  the  significant  shift  of 
corporate  focus  to the  development of Dimerix’s DMX-200  clinical asset for the  treatment of Chronic 
Kidney Disease, and the broader commercialisation of Dimerix’s underlying drug discovery technology. 
The  Group  intends  to  establish  proof  of  concept  for  DMX-200  in  treating  forms  of  chronic  kidney 
disease in a human trial to support partnering of the asset with a pharmaceutical company within a 2-3 
year time frame.  In parallel, Dimerix will leverage its drug discovery technology to build a pipeline of 
additional pre-clinical and clinical assets with the intention of becoming a company with multiple, high 
potential value, commercial opportunities. 

The DMX-200 Program 
DMX-200  combines  two  existing  drugs,  irbesartan  and  propagermanium.  Irbesartan  is  an  off-patent 
angiotensin II type I receptor blocker indicated for the treatment of hypertension and nephropathy in 
Type II diabetic patients.  Propagermanium (PPG) is a chemokine receptor (CCR2) blocker used for its 
anti-inflammatory  properties.    DMX-200  has  been  shown  to  improve  the  outcome  of  chronic  kidney 
disease by reducing leakage of protein into the urine (proteinuria) by more than 50 per cent in animal 
models.  

During  the  year,  the  Group  initiated  the  DMX-200  trial  at  three  public  hospitals  and  one  private 
nephology practice in Melbourne, Australia. 

The  DMX-200  trial is a single  arm, open label trial in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (with 
proteinuria).  The primary end points are the incidence and severity of adverse events and the clinically 
significant changes  in the  safety profile  of participants.  The  secondary  end points are obtained from 
statistical  analysis  of  biomarker  data  at  each  time  point  including  change  from  baseline,  and  the 
proportion  of  responders  defined  as  those  participants  achieving  normalisation  of  proteinuria 

6 |

(proteinuria within normal limits) or those  participants achieving a 50% reduction in proteinuria.  The 
trial has two parts Part A is a dose escalation trial recruiting up to 30 patients.  All patients recruited to 
the  trial  will  be  on  stable  irbesartan  therapy,  and  will  be  treated  with  propagermanium  dosed  orally 
three times per day.  Part B is an expansion study, in which up to 30 patients are recruited on the best 
dose identified from Part A. 

The Group expects to carry out an interim analysis during Part A of the study to review the safety of the 
therapy and observe any biomarker changes.  It is expected interim data will be available during 2016. 

The  Group  expects  to  review  the  design  of  Part  B  in  consultation  with  the  US  Food  and  Drug 
Administration (FDA) and in light of all data available to the Group, prior to commencement of Part B. 
These  discussions  will  be  in  line  with  the  Group’s  strategy  of  pursuing  registration  for  an  orphan 
indication in which the sufferers exhibit chronic kidney disease.  

The first patient in the DMX-200 trial was dosed in September 2015, with two patients on trial at the 
end  of  the  half  year.  The  trial  sites  are  continuing  to  screen  patients  for  potential  enrolment  in  the 
study. The Group is actively monitoring recruitment, and may expand the study into other jurisdictions 
to meet recruitment targets and regulatory goals. 

In December 2015, Dimerix announced that it had received Orphan Designation from the US Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) for propagermanium and irbesartan, the constituent parts of DMX-200, for 
the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). 

On the 29th June  2016, Dimerix attended a pre Investigational New Drug meeting with the US FDA to 
discuss the development of DMX-200 for the treatment of FSGS.

The directors believe the Group is in a strong and stable financial position to expand and grow its current 
operations. 

Significant changes in state of affairs 
During the year, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd a public 
unlisted  clinical  stage  drug  discovery  and  development  company,  based  in  Melbourne.    There  were 
significant Board changes during the year under review. 

Events after the reporting period 
There has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen subsequent to the end of the financial 
year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results 
of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

Future developments, prospects and business strategies 
Part  A  of  the  current  Phase  II  open  label  trial  aims  to  recruit  up  to  30  patients  at  four  sites  across 
Melbourne  with  the  aim  of  demonstrating  safety  and  reduction  of  proteinuria  in  patients  with  CKD. 
Proteinuria is common in CKD patients and is a strong independent risk factor for disease progression. 
Reducing proteinuria reduces  the  risk  of CKD progression and its consequences  of progressive  loss of 
renal function leading to renal failure, and the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. 

Patients  in  the  study  are  already  being  prescribed  irbesartan  and,  as  part  of  the  trial  protocol, 
commence  on  a  dose  of  30mg  of  propagermanium  per  day.  The  Investigators  review  the  patients  at 
four week intervals, and escalate the patients’ dose to 60, 90, 150 and 240mg per day over each four 
week period. The supply of propagermanium to patients following their participation in the trial can be 
approved under the Australian TGA’s Special Access Scheme. The first two patients to complete Part A 
of  the  DMX-200  Phase  II  trial  are  continuing  to  access  propagermanium  under  this  Special  Access 
Scheme.  Dimerix aims to provide an interim data analysis based on 10-15 patients in the trial before 
the end of the third quarter of 2016. 

Environmental issues 
The  Group’s  operations  are  not  subject  to  significant  environmental  regulation  under  the  Australian 
Commonwealth or State Law.

Remuneration policy 
The  board  of  directors  of  the  Group  is  currently  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing 
compensation arrangements for key management personnel.  The Group does not currently operate a 
Remuneration Committee.    The  remuneration policy, which is set out below, is designed to promote 
superior performance and long-term commitment to the Group. 

Non-executive director remuneration 
Non-executive  directors  are  remunerated  by  way  of  fees,  in  the  form  of  cash,  non-cash  benefits, 
superannuation contributions or salary sacrifice into equity and do not normally participate in schemes 
designed for the remuneration of executives. 

Shareholders  approval  must  be  obtained  in  relation  to  the  overall  limit  set  for  the  non-executive 
directors’  fees.    The  maximum  aggregate  remuneration  approved  by  shareholders  for  non-executive 
directors is $250,000 per annum.  The directors set the individual non-executive director fees within the 
limit approved by shareholders.  Non-executive directors are not provided with retirement benefits. 

Executive director remuneration 
Executive  directors  receive  a  base  remuneration  which  is  at  market  rates,  and  may  be  entitled  to 
performance  based  remuneration,  which  is  determined  on  an  annual  basis.    Overall  remuneration 
policies  are  subject  to  the  discretion  of  the  board  and  can  be  changed  to  reflect  competitive  and 
business  conditions  where  it  is  in  the  interests  of  the  Group  and  shareholders  to  do  so.    Executive 
remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the board having regard to the 
performance, relevant comparative information and expert advice. 

The  board’s  remuneration  policy  reflects  its  obligation  to  align  executive  remuneration  with 
shareholders’  interests  and  to  retain  appropriately  qualified  executive  talent  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Group.  The main principles are: 
(a)  remuneration reflects the competitive market in which the Group operates; 
(b)  individual remuneration should be linked to performance criteria if appropriate; and 
(c)  executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance. 

The total remuneration of executives consists of the following: 
(a)  salary  –  executives  receive  a  fixed  sum  payable  monthly  in  cash  plus  superannuation  at  9.5%  of 

salary; 

(b)  cash at risk component – executives may participate in share and option schemes generally made in 
accordance  with  thresholds  set  in  plans  approved  by  shareholders  if  deemed  appropriate.  
However, the  board considers  it appropriate  to issue shares and options to executives  outside  of 
approved schemes in exceptional circumstances; 

(c)  other  benefits  –  executives  may,  if  deemed  appropriate  by  the  board,  be  provided  with  a  fully 

expensed mobile phone and other forms of remuneration; and 

(d)  performance bonus. 

The  board  has  not  formally  engaged  the  services  of  a  remuneration  consultant  to  provide 
recommendations  when  setting  the  remuneration  received  by  directors  or  other  key  management 
personnel during the financial year. 

Relationship between the remuneration policy and Group performance 
The board considers that at this time, evaluation of the Group’s financial performance using generally 
accepted  measures  such  as  profitability,  total  shareholder  return  or  per  Group  comparison  are  not 
relevant as the Group is at an early stages of the DMX-200 Phase II trial which is continuing as outlined 
in the directors’ report.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 
30 June 2016 

1. 

General information 

2. 

2.1  

2.2 

Dimerix  Limited  (“Dimerix  or  the  Company”)  and  its  subsidiary  (the  “Group  or  Consolidated 
Entity”)  is  a  listed  public  company  incorporated  in  Australia.    The  address  of  its  registered 
office  and  principal  place  of  business  is  disclosed  in  the  corporate  directory  to  the  annual 
report. 

The principal activities of the Group are described in the directors’ report. 

Application of new and revised Accounting Standards 
The  Group  has  considered  the  implications  of  new  and  amended  Accounting  Standards 
applicable for annual reporting periods beginning after 1 July 2015 but determined that their 
application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material. 

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB 
which  are  not  yet  mandatorily  applicable  to  the  Group  have  not  been  applied  in  preparing 
these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out 
below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.  

  AASB 9 Financial Instruments  and associated  Amending  Standards  (applicable  for 

annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2018) 

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge 
accounting  below)  and  includes  revised  requirements  for  the  classification  and 
measurement  of  financial  instruments,  revised  recognition  and  derecognition 
requirements  for  financial  instruments  and  simplified  requirements  for  hedge 
accounting.  

Key changes made to this standard that may affect the Group on initial application 
include  certain  simplifications 
financial  assets, 
simplifications  to  the  accounting  of  embedded  derivatives,  and  the  irrevocable 
election to recognise  gains and losses  on investments in equity instruments that 
are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. 

the  classification  of 

to 

The  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  9  will  not  have  a  material 
impact on the Group’s financial instruments. 

  AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting 

periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018). 

When  effective,  this  Standard  will  replace  the  current  accounting  requirements 
applicable  to  revenue  with  a  single,  principles-based model.  Except  for  a  limited 
number  of  exceptions,  including  leases,  the  new  revenue  model  in  AASB  15  will 
apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between 
entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential 
customers. 

The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict 
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects 

24 | 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dimerix Limited 

the  consideration to which the entity expects  to be  entitled in exchange  for the 
goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-
step process: 

- identify the contract(s) with a customer; 

- identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); 

- determine the transaction price; 

-  allocate  the  transaction  price  to  the  performance  obligations  in  the 
contract(s); and 

- recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. 

This  Standard  will  require  retrospective  restatement,  as  well  as  enhanced 
disclosures regarding revenue. 

The  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  15  will  not  have  a  material 
impact on the Group’s revenue recognition and disclosures. 

  AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 

January 2019). 

AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance 
leases  for  the  lessee  effectively  treating  all  leases  as  finance  leases.  Short  term 
leases (less than 12 months) and leases of a low value are exempt from the lease 
accounting requirements. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice. 

Although  the  directors  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  16  may  have  an 
impact  on  the  Group's  financial  statements,  it  is  impracticable  at  this  stage  to 
provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.  

  AASB  2014-3:  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Accounting  for 

Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations [AASB 1 & AASB 11] 

AASB  2014-3  amends  AASB  11  Joint  Arrangements  to  provide  guidance  on  the 
accounting  for  acquisitions  of  interests  in  joint  operations  in  which  the  activity 
constitutes a business. The amendments require: 

(a)  the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes 
a  business,  as  defined  in  AASB  3  Business  Combinations,  to  apply  all  of  the 
principles  on  business  combinations  accounting  in  AASB  3  and  other  Australian 
Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in 
AASB 11 

(b)  the  acquirer  to  disclose  the  information  required  by  AASB  3  and  other 
Australian Accounting Standards for business combinations 

This Standard also makes an editorial correction to AASB 11. 

  AASB 2014-9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Equity Method in 
Separate  Financial  Statements  (AASB  2014-9  applies  to  annual  reporting  periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Early adoption permitted). 

AASB  2014-9  amends  AASB  127  Separate  Financial  Statements,  and 
consequentially  amends  AASB  1  First-time  Adoption  of  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  and  AASB  128  Investments  in  Associates  and  Joint  Ventures,  to  allow 
entities  to  use  the  equity  method  of  accounting  for  investments  in  subsidiaries, 
joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements.  AASB 2014-9 
also makes editorial corrections to AASB 127.

  Other standards not yet applicable 

There  are  no  other  standards  that  are  not  yet  effective  and  that  would  be 
expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting 
periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3.1 

Significant accounting policies 

Statement of compliance 

These  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements  which  have  been 
in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  Accounting  Standards  and 
prepared 
Interpretations and comply with other requirements of the law. 

The financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of 
preparing the financial statements, the Group is a for-profit entity. 

Accounting  Standards  include  Australian  Accounting  Standards.  Compliance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  of  the  Group  comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). 

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 24 August 2016. 

3.2 

Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain 
financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each 
reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. 

Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for 
goods and services.    The  financial statements have  been prepared on a going concern basis.  
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an 
orderly  transaction  between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date,  regardless  of 
whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.  In 
estimating  the  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability,  the  Group  takes  into  account  the 
characteristics of the asset or liability at the measurement date.  Fair value for measurement 
and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except 
for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions 
that are within the scope of AASB 117 and measurements that have some similarities to fair 
value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136. 

In  addition,  for  financial  reporting  purposes,  fair  value  measurements  are  categorised  into 
Level  1,  2  or  3  based  on  the  degree  to  which  inputs  to  the  fair  value  measurements  are 
observable  and  the  significance  of  the  inputs  to  the  fair  value  measurement  in  its  entirety, 
which are described as follows: 

 

 

 

Level  1  inputs  are  quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or 
liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; 

Level  2  inputs  are  inputs,  other  than  quoted  prices  included  in  Level  1,  that  are 
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Reverse acquisition 
Dimerix Limited acquired Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd on 3 July 2015.  From a legal and taxation 
perspective Dimerix Limited is considered the acquiring entity.  However, the acquisition has 
the features of a reverse acquisition as described in the Australian Accounting Standard AASB3 
“Business Combinations” (AASB 3) notwithstanding Dimerix Limited being the legal parent of 
the  Group.    The  transaction  has  been  accounted  for  as  a  reverse  acquisition  from  a 
consolidated  perspective,  where  Dimerix  Bioscience  Pty  Ltd  is  the  accounting  acquirer  and 
Dimerix Limited is the legal acquirer.  The financial report includes the consolidated financial 
statements  of  the  Group  for  the  period  1  July  2015  to  30 June 2016  and  represents  a 
continuation of Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd financial statements with exception of the capital 
structure.    The  amount  recognised  as  equity  instruments  in  these  consolidated  statements 
represents  the  issued  equity  of  Dimerix  Limited  adjusted  to  reflect  the  equity  issued  by 
Dimerix  Limited  on  acquisition.  Refer  to  note  16  on  issued  capital  and  note  23  on  the 
accounting  for  the  acquisition.    The  comparable  figures  are  those  of  Dimerix  Bioscience  Pty 
Ltd. 

Under the reverse acquisition principles, the consideration provided by Dimerix Bioscience Pty 
Ltd  was  determined  to  be  $6,748,901,  which  is  the  deemed  fair  value  of  the  573,640,008 
shares  owned  by  the  former  Sun  Biomedical  Limited  shareholders  at  the  completion  of  the 
acquisition and the performance shares issued to Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd shareholders as 
consideration.  The net assets of Dimerix Ltd were recorded at fair value at the completion of 
the acquisition and no adjustments were required to the historical book values. 

The excess of the deemed fair value of the shares owned by the Dimerix Limited (formerly Sun 
Biomedical Limited) shareholders and the  fair value  of the identifiable  net assets of  Dimerix 
Limited  immediately  prior  to  the  completion  of  the  merger is  accounted  for  under  “AASB  2 
“Share–based  Payment”  and  resulted  in  the  recognition  of  $3,971,811  being  recorded  as 
“Corporate  Restructure  Expense”.    The  net  assets  of  Dimerix  Limited  were  recorded  at  fair 
value at completion of the merger.  No adjustments were required to the historical values. 

3.3 

Business combinations 

Acquisitions of business  are accounted for using the  acquisition method.    The consideration 
transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum 
of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by 
the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the 
Company in exchange for control of the acquiree.  Acquisition-related costs are recognised in 
profit or loss as incurred. 

At  the  acquisition  date,  the  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  the  liabilities  assumed  are 
recognised at their fair value, except that: 

  deferred  tax  assets  or  liabilities  and  assets  or  liabilities  related  to  employee  benefit 
arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ 
and AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ respectively. 

  liabilities  or  equity  instruments  related  to  share-based  payment  arrangements  of  the 
acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the  Company entered into to replace 
share-based  payment  arrangements  of  the  acquiree  are  measured  in  accordance  with 
AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and 

  assets (or disposal groups)  that are  classified as held for sale  in accordance  with AASB 5 
‘Non-current  Assets  Held  for  Sale  and  Discontinued  Operations’  are  measured  in 
accordance with that Standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of 
any  non-controlling  interests  in  the  acquiree,  and  the  fair  value  of  the  acquirer's  previously 
held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the 
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.  If, after reassessment, the net of the 
acquisition-date  amounts  of  the  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  exceeds 
the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the 
acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), 
the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. 

Where  the  consideration  transferred  by  the  Company  in  a  business  combination  includes 
assets  or  liabilities  resulting  from  a  contingent  consideration  arrangement,  the  contingent 
consideration is  measured at its acquisition-date  fair value.   Changes in the  fair value  of the 
contingent  consideration  that  qualify  as  measurement  period  adjustments  are  adjusted 
retrospectively,  with  corresponding  adjustments  against  goodwill.    Measurement  period 
adjustments  are  adjustments  that  arise  from  additional  information  obtained  during  the 
‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts 
and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition  date.    The  subsequent  accounting  for 
changes  in  the  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration  that  do  not  qualify  as  measurement 
period  adjustments  depends  on  how  the  contingent  consideration  is  classified.    Contingent 
consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and 
its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within  equity.    Contingent  consideration  that  is 
classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  remeasured  at  subsequent  reporting  dates  in  accordance 
with  AASB  139,  or  AASB  137  ‘Provisions,  Contingent  Liabilities  and  Contingent  Assets’,  as 
appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. 

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting 
period  in  which  the  combination  occurs,  the  Company  reports  provisional  amounts  for  the 
items for which the accounting is incomplete.  Those provisional amounts are adjusted during 
the  measurement  period  (see  above),  or  additional  assets  or  liabilities  are  recognised,  to 
reflect  new  information  obtained  about  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  as  of  the 
acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. 

3.4 

Going concern basis 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates 
the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and  the settlement of 
liabilities in the normal course of business. 

For  the  year  ended  30  June  2016  the  Group  incurred  a  loss  after  tax  of  $5,254,475  (2015: 
$525,073)  and  a  net  cash  outflow  from  operations  of  $1,379,129  (2015:  $558,550).    At 
30 June 2016, the Group had current assets of $2,523,091 (2015: $694,680), current liabilities 
of $282,725  (2015:  $40,743)  and  current cash holding was  $2,018,716.  The  Group  does  not 
have any forthcoming material expenditure commitments in the relevant period. 

The  directors  have  reviewed  the  business  outlook  and  cash  flow  forecasts  and  are  of  the 
opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the 
Group will continue to raise further funds and meet its expenditure commitments as required. 

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its 
assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts 
different to those stated in the financial statements.  The financial statements do not include 
any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and  classification  of  liabilities  that  may  be 
necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

3.5 

Goodwill 

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of 
the acquisition of the business (see 3.3 above) less accumulated impairment losses, if any.  For 
the  purposes  of  impairment  testing,  goodwill  is  allocated  to  each  of  the  Group’s  cash-
generating  units  (or  groups  of  cash-generating  units)  that  is  expected  to  benefit  from  the 
synergies of the combination. 

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, 
or  more  frequently  when  there  is  an  indication  that  the  unit  may  be  impaired.    If  the 
recoverable  amount  of  the  cash-generating  unit  is  less  than  its  carrying  amount,  the 
impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to 
the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each 
asset in the unit.  Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss.  An 
impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. 

On  disposal  of  the  relevant  cash-generating  unit,  the  attributable  amount  of  goodwill  is 
included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. 

3.6 

Revenue recognition 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is 
reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. 

Interest income 
Interest  income  from  a  financial  asset  is  recognised  when  it  is  probable  that  the  economic 
benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.   

Research and Development Incentive 
These are accounted on an accrual basis once it is probable that it will be received. 

3.7 

Borrowing costs 

Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of 
qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period to get ready 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. 

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their 
expenditure  on  qualifying  assets 
is  deducted  from  the  borrowing  costs  eligible  for 
capitalisation. 

All  other  borrowing  costs  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  period  in  which  they  are 
incurred. 

3.8 

Government grants 

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will 
comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. 

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in 
which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to 
compensate.    Specifically,  government  grants  whose  primary  condition  is  that  the  Group 
should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred 
revenue in the statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic 
and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets. 

29 | 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dimerix Limited 

Government  grants  that  are  receivable  as  compensation  for  expenses  or  losses  already 
incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future 
related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. 

3.9 

Employee benefits 

Short-term and long-term employee benefits 
A liability is recognised for benefits accrued to employees in respect of wages and salaries and 
annual leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being 
measured reliably. 

Liabilities  recognised  in  respect  of  short-term  employee  benefits  are  measured  at  their 
nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. 

Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured as the present 
value  of the  estimated future  cash outflows  to  be  made  by the  Group  in respect of services 
provided by employees up to reporting date. 

3.10 

Share-based payments arrangements 

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services  are 
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.  Details regarding the 
determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in note 
19. 

The  fair  value  determined  at  the  grant  date  of  the  equity-settled  share-based  payments  is 
expensed on a straight-line  basis over  the  vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate  of 
equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity.  At the 
end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Group  revises  its  estimate  of  the  number  of  equity 
instruments expected to vest.  The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  such  that  the  cumulative  expense  reflects  the  revised  estimate, 
with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve. 

Equity-settled  share-based  payment  transactions  with  parties  other  than  employees  are 
measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  goods  or  services  received,  except  where  that  fair  value 
cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity 
instruments granted, measured at the date  the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty 
renders the service. 

For  cash-settled  share-based  payments,  a  liability  is  recognised  for  the  goods  or  services 
acquired,  measured  initially  at  the  fair  value  of  the  liability.    At  the  end  of  each  reporting 
period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is 
remeasured, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the year.

3.11 

Taxation 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 

3.11.1 

Current tax 

The tax  currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year.   Taxable profit differs from 
profit  before  tax  as  reported  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years 
and items that are never taxable or deductible.  The Group’s current tax is calculated using the 
tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. 

3.11.2 

Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in 
the  computation  of  taxable  profit.    Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  generally  recognised  for  all 
taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible 
temporary  differences  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  taxable  profits  will  be  available 
against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.  Such deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition 
(other  than  in  a  business  combination)  of  assets  and  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  affects 
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.  In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not 
recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  recognised  for  taxable  temporary  differences  associated  with 
investments in subsidiaries  and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where  the 
Group  is able  to control the  reversal of the  temporary difference  and it is probable  that the 
temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future.    Deferred  tax  assets  arising 
from  deductible  temporary  differences  associated  with  such  investments  and  interests  are 
only  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  there  will  be  sufficient  taxable  profits 
against  which  to  utilise  the  benefits  of  the  temporary  differences  and  they  are  expected  to 
reverse in the foreseeable future. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and 
reduced  to  the  extent  that  it  is  no  longer  probable  that  sufficient  taxable  profits  will  be 
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in 
the  period  in  which  the  liability  is  settled  or  the  asset  realised,  based  on  tax  rates  (and  tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.  The 
measurement of deferred tax  liabilities  and assets reflects the  tax consequences  that would 
follow  from  the  manner  in which  the  Group  expects,  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  to 
recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off 
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by 
the same authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net 
basis. 

3.11.3 

Current and deferred tax for the year 

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that 
are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current 
and  deferred  tax  are  also  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity, 
respectively.    Where  current  tax  or  deferred  tax  arises  from  the  initial  accounting  for  a 

31 | 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dimerix Limited 

business  combination,  the  tax  effect  is  included  in  the  accounting  for  the  business 
combination. 

3.12 

Property, plant and equipment 

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 
accumulated impairment losses. 

Depreciation  is  recognised  so  as  to  write  off  the  cost  or  valuation  of  assets  (other  than 
freehold  land  and  properties  under  construction)  less  their  residual  values  over  their  useful 
lives,  using  the  straight-line  method.    The  estimated  useful  lives,  residual  values  and 
depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any 
changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future 
economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset.  Any gain or loss 
arising  on  the  disposal  or  retirement  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is 
determined  as  the  difference  between  the  sales  proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the 
asset and is recognised in profit and loss. 

3.13 

Intangible assets 

3.13.1 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill 
are  initially  recognised  at  their  fair  value  at  the  acquisition  date  (which  is  regarded  as  their 
cost). 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  intangible  assets  acquired  in  a  business  combination  are 
reported  at  cost  less  accumulated  amortisation  and  accumulated  impairment  losses,  on  the 
same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. 

3.13.2 

Derecognition of intangible assets 

An  intangible  asset  is  derecognised  on  disposal,  or  when  no  future  economic  benefits  are 
expected  from  use  or  disposal.    Gains  or  losses  arising  from  derecognition  of  an  intangible 
asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount 
of the asset are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised. 

3.14 

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill 

At the  end of each reporting period, the  Group  reviews the  carrying amounts of its tangible 
and  intangible  assets  to  determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  those  assets  have 
suffered an impairment loss.  If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset 
is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).  When 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.    When  a 
reasonable  and  consistent  basis  of  allocation  can  be  identified,  corporate  assets  are  also 
allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise  they are allocated to the  smallest 
group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be 
identified. 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are 
tested  for  impairment  at  least  annually,  and  whenever  there  is  an  indication  that  the  asset 
may be impaired. 

Recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  fair  value  less  cost  of  disposal  and  value  in  use.    In 
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value 
using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects  current  market  assessments  of  the  time  value  of 

32 | 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dimerix Limited 

money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not 
been adjusted. 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its 
carrying amount, the  carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its 
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the 
relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as 
a revaluation decrease  

When an impairment loss  subsequently reverses, the  carrying amount of the  asset (or cash-
generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the 
increased  carrying  amount  does  not  exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been 
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in 
prior years.  A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless 
the  relevant  asset  is  carried  at  a  revalued  amount,  in  which  case  the  reversal  of  the 
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 

3.15 

Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a 
result of a past event, it is probable  that the Group  will be required to settle the obligation, 
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 

The  amount  recognised  as  a  provision  is  the  best  estimate  of  the  consideration  required  to 
settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks 
and uncertainties  surrounding the  obligation.    When  a provision is measured using the  cash 
flows  estimated  to  settle  the  present  obligation,  its carrying  amount  is  the  present  value  of 
those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material). 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be 
recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that 
reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. 

3.16 

Financial instruments 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to 
the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.    Transaction costs 
that  are  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  or  issue  of  financial  assets  and  financial 
liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) 
are added to or deducted from the fair value of the  financial assets or financial liabilities, as 
appropriate, on initial recognition.  Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of 
financial  assets  or  financial  liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  recognised 
immediately in profit or loss. 

3.16.1 

Financial assets 

Financial  assets  are  classified  into  the  following  specified  categories:  financial  assets  ‘at  fair 
value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) 
financial  assets  and  ‘loans  and  receivables’.    The  classification  depends  on  the  nature  and 
purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.  All regular 
way  purchases  or  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  and  derecognised  on  a  trade  date 
basis.    Regular way purchases  or sales  are purchases or sales  of financial assets that require 
delivery  of  assets  within  the  time  frame  established  by  regulation  or  convention  in  the 
marketplace.

Dimerix Limited 

3.16.1.1  Financial assets at FVTPL 

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it 
is designated as at FVTPL. 

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if: 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or 

 
  on  initial  recognition  it  is  part  of  a  portfolio  of  identified  financial  instruments  that  the 
Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or 
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. 

 

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL 
upon initial recognition if: 

 

 

 

such  designation  eliminates  or  significantly  reduces  a  measurement  or  recognition 
inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or 
the financial asset forms part of a group of financial  assets or financial liabilities or both, 
which  is  managed  and  its  performance  is  evaluated  on  a  fair  value  basis,  in  accordance 
with  the  Group’s  documented  risk  management  or  investment  strategy  and  information 
about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or 
it forms part of a contract containing one  or more embedded derivatives, and AASB 139 
‘Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement’  permits  the  entire  combined 
contract to be designated as at FVTPL. 

Financial  assets  at  FVTPL  are  stated  at  fair  value,  with  any  gains  or  losses  arising  on  re-
measurement  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.    The  net  gain  or  loss  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the ‘other 
gains and losses’ line item. 

3.16.1.2  Loans and receivables 

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that 
are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market  are  classified  as  ‘loans  and  receivables’.    Loans  and 
receivables  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method,  less  any 
impairment. Interest income  is recognised by applying the  effective  interest rate, except for 
short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial. 

3.16.1.3 

Impairment of financial assets 

Financial assets, other  than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the 
end of each reporting period.    Financial assets are considered to be  impaired when there  is 
objective  evidence  that,  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  events  that  occurred  after  the  initial 
recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been 
affected. 

For  financial  assets  that  are  carried  at  amortised  cost,  the  amount  of  the  impairment  loss 
recognised  is  the  difference  between  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of 
estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. 

For financial asset that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as 
the  difference  between  the  asset’s  carrying amount  and the present value  of the  estimated 
future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.  
Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods. 

The  carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by  the  impairment loss  directly for all 
financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced 
through the use of an allowance account.  When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, 

34 | 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dimerix Limited 

it is written off against the allowance account.  Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously 
written off are credited against the allowance account.  Changes in the carrying amount of the 
allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. 

When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously 
recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. 

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the 
impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring 
after  the impairment was  recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed 
through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the 
impairment is reversed does  not exceed what the amortised cost would have  been had the 
impairment not been recognised 

In respect of AFS securities, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not 
reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is 
income  and  accumulated  under  the  heading  of 
recognised 
investments revaluation reserve.

3.16.1.4  Derecognition of financial assets 

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the  contractual rights to the  cash flows from 
the  asset  expire,  or  when  it  transfers  the  financial  asset  and  substantially  all  the  risks  and 
rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.  If the Group neither transfers nor retains 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the  transferred 
asset,  the  Group  recognises  its  retained  interest  in  the  asset  and  an  associated  liability  for 
amounts  it  may  have  to  pay.    If  the  Group  retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset 
and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. 

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying 
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or 
loss  that  had been recognised in other comprehensive  income  and accumulated in equity is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an 
option  to  repurchase  part  of  a  transferred  asset),  the  Group  allocates  the  previous  carrying 
amount  of  the  financial  asset  between  the  part  it  continues  to  recognise  under  continuing 
involvement,  and  the  part  it  no  longer  recognises  on  the  basis  of  the  relative  fair  values  of 
those parts on the date of the transfer.  The difference between the carrying amount allocated 
to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part 
no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised 
in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.  A cumulative gain or loss that 
had  been  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  is  allocated  between  the  part  that 
continues  to  be  recognised  and  the  part  that  is  no  longer  recognised  on  the  basis  of  the 
relative fair values of those parts. 

3.16.2 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments 

3.16.2.1  Classification as debt or equity 

Debt  and  equity  instruments  are  classified  as  either  financial  liabilities  or  as  equity  in 
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. 

3.16.2.2  Equity instruments 

An  equity  instrument  is  any  contract  that  evidences  a  residual  interest  in  the  assets  of  an 
entity  after  deducting  all  of  its  liabilities.  Equity instruments  issued  by  a group  of  entity  are 

35 | 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dimerix Limited 

recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. 

3.16.2.3  Financial liabilities 

Financial  liabilities  are  classified  as  either  financial  liabilities  ‘at  FVTPL’  or  ‘other  financial 
liabilities’. 

3.16.2.4  Financial liabilities at FVTPL 

Financial  liabilities  are  classified  as  at  FVTPL  when  the  financial  liability  is  either  held  for 
trading or it is designated as at FVTPL. 

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: 

 
it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or 
  on  initial  recognition  it  is  part  of  a  portfolio  of  identified  financial  instruments  that  the 
Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or 
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument 

 

A  financial  liability  other  than  a  financial  liability  held  for  trading  may  be  designated  as  at 
FVTPL upon initial recognition if: 

 

 

 

such  designation  eliminates  or  significantly  reduces  a  measurement  or  recognition 
inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or 
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, 
which  is  managed  and  its  performance  is  evaluated  on  a  fair  value  basis,  in  accordance 
with the  Group’s documented risk  management or investment strategy, and information 
about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or 
it forms part of a contract containing one  or more  embedded derivatives, and AASB 139 
‘Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement’  permits  the  entire  combined 
contract to be designated as at FVTPL. 

Financial  liabilities  at  FVTPL  are  stated  at  fair  value,  with  any  gains  or  losses  arising  on  re-
measurement  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.    The  net  gain  or  loss  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the ‘other gains and 
losses’ line item. 

3.16.2.5  Other financial liabilities 

Other  financial  liabilities,  including  borrowings  and  trade  and  other  payables,  are  initially 
measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. 

Other  financial  liabilities  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. 

The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating  the  amortised  cost  of  a  financial 
liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period.  The effective interest rate 
is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of 
the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on 
initial recognition. 

3.16.2.6  Derecognition of financial liabilities 

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are 
discharged,  cancelled  or  they  expire.    The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  the 
financial liability derecognised and the consideration  paid and payable is recognised in profit 
or loss.

3.17 

Goods and services tax 

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  goods  and  services  tax 
(GST), except: 

i.  where  the  amount of GST incurred is not recoverable  from the  taxation  authority, it is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; 
or 

ii. 

for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as 
part of receivables or payables. 

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis.  The GST component of 
cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable 
to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows. 

3.18 

Comparative amounts 

When  current  period  balances  have  been  classified  differently  within  current  period 
disclosures  when compared to prior periods, comparative  disclosures  have  been restated to 
ensure consistency of presentation between periods.  

4 

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

In  the  application  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policies,  which  are  described  in  note  3,  the 
directors  of  the  Group  are  required  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  about 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  
The  estimates  and  associated  assumptions  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other 
factors that are considered to be relevant.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The  estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.    Revisions  to 
accounting  estimates  are  recognised  in  the  period  on  which  the  estimate  is  revised  if  the 
revision  affects  only  that  period,  or  in  the  period  in  the  revision  and  future  periods  if  the 
revision affects both current and future periods. 

In  preparing  these  financial  statements,  the  significant 
judgements  were  made  by 
management  in  applying  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  and  the  key  sources  of  estimation 
uncertainty have been applied to the Business combination refer to note 23. 

4.1 

Other Key sources of estimation uncertainty 

  Valuation of Performance Shares issued on acquisition of subsidiary which impact on the 

corporate restructure expense 

  Valuation of share options issued to management, staff and consultants 

  Determination of expenses eligible for research and development rebate

Segment information 

AASB  8  requires  operating  segments  to  be  identified  on  the  basis  of  internal  reports  about 
components  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  that  are  regularly  reviewed  by  the  chief  operating 
decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. 

AASB  8  “Operating  Segments’”  states  that  similar  operating  segments  can  be  aggregated  to 
form  one  reportable  segment.    Following  the  acquisition  of  Dimerix  Bioscience  Pty  Ltd  the 
Group  identified  two  business  segments  and  one  geographical  segment.  The  business 

37 |

segments are: 
 

the  development  of  occupational  drug  testing  devices  and  new  therapeutic  agents  in 
Australia (Segment 1); and 
clinical stage drug discovery and development in Australia (Segment 2).

For  the  period  1  July  2014  to  30  June  2015  the  Group’s  operating  segments  did  not  meet  the 
prescribed quantitative thresholds and as such did not have to report segments separately.  The 
Group  aggregated  all  its  reporting  segments  into  one  reportable  operating  segment.    The 
revenue and results of this segment are those of the  Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd as a whole and 
are  set  out  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income.    The  segment 
assets and liabilities are those of Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd at 30 June 2015.

On 19 February 2016, the Group announced that it had received a Notice of Allowance from the 
United States Patent and Trade Mark Office (USPTO) for its patent covering the use of DMX-200 in 
the treatment of kidney disease.  The allowance of the US patent triggers Milestone A of the Class 
A performance  shares  which were issued to the  Dimerix  Bioscience  vendors on 3 July 2015.    As 
such, 75,000,040 Class A Performance Shares converted to 75,000,040 ordinary shares. 

On  28  April  2016,  the  Group  announced  that  it  filed  a  request  to  the  US  Food  and  Drug 
Administration (FDA)  for a pre  Investigational New  Drug (IND) application meeting in relation to

Financial instruments 

18.1  Capital management 

The  Group  manages  its capital to ensure entities  in the  Group  will be  able  to continue  as going 
concern  while  maximising  the  return  to  stakeholders  through  the  optimisation  of  the  debt  and 
equity balance.   

The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2015. 

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 

Given  the  nature  of  the  business,  the  Group  monitors  capital  on  the  basis  of  current  business 
operations and cash flow requirements.

18.3  Financial risk management objectives 

In  common  with  all  other  businesses,  the  Group  is  exposed  to  risks  that  arise  from  its  use  of 
financial  instruments.    This  note  describes  the  Group’s  objectives,  policies  and  processes  for 
managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.  Further quantitative information in 
respect of those risks is presented throughout these financial statements. 

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its 
objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them 
from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note. 

The  board  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  determination  of  the  Group’s  risk  management 
objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the 
authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the 
objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function. 

The  Group’s  risk  management  policies  and  objectives  are  therefore  designed  to  minimise  the 
potential impacts of  these risks  on  the  Group  where  such impacts may  be  material.    The  board 
receives monthly financial reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put 
in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.  The overall objective of the 
board  is  to  set  policies  that  seek  to  reduce  risk  as  far  as  possible  without  unduly  affecting  the 
Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. 

18.4  Market risk 

Market risk for the Group arises from the use of interest bearing financial instruments.  It is the 
risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  a  financial  instrument  will  fluctuate  because  of 
changes in interest rate (see 18.5 below). 

18.5 

Interest rate risk management 

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for 
both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end on the reporting period. 

Interest rate sensitivity analysis 

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for 
both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end on the reporting period. 

If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, 
the  Group’s  loss  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2016  would  increase/decrease  by  $20,187  (2015: 
$4,869).

18.6  Credit risk management 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting 
in  financial  loss  to  the  Group.    The  Group  has  adopted  a  policy  of  dealing  with  creditworthy 
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the 
risk  of  financial  loss  from  defaults.    The  Group  only  transacts  with  entities  that  are  rated  the 
equivalent  of  investment  grade  and  above.    This  information  is  supplied  by  independent  rating 
agencies  where  available  and,  if  not  available,  the  Group  uses  other  publicly  available  financial 
information and its own trading records to rate its major customers.  The Group’s exposure and 
the  credit  ratings  of  its  counterparties  are  continuously  monitored  and  the  aggregate  value  of 
transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. 

The  credit  risk  on  liquid  funds  is  limited  because  the  counterparties  are  banks  with  high  credit-
ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. 

18.7  Liquidity risk management 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has 
established  an  appropriate  liquidity  risk  management  framework  for  the  management  of  the 
Group’s  short-,  medium-  and  long-term  funding  and  liquidity  management  requirements.    The 
Group  manages  liquidity  by  maintaining  adequate  banking  facilities,  by  continuously  monitoring 
forecast  and  actual  cash  flows,  and  by  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and 
liabilities.

23.  Business Combination – Reverse acquisition 

Subsidiary acquired 

On  3  July  2015  Dimerix  Limited  (formerly  Sun  Biomedical  Limited)  completed  the  100% 
acquisition  of  Dimerix  Bioscience  Pty  Ltd  a  clinical  stage  drug  discovery  and  development 
company.  The consideration for this acquisition was $6,748,901 made up as follows: 
i)  750,000,041 shares in Dimerix Limited; 
ii)  75,000,040 Class A Performance shares (convertible into 75,000,040 shares upon receipt 
by the  Company of a notice  of allowance  from the  United States  Patent and  Trademark 
Office  in  relation  to  the  US  patent  application  within  24  months  of  completion  of  the 
Acquisition); 

iii) 75,000,040  Class  B  Performance  shares  (convertible  into  75,000,040  shares  upon  the 
Board making an investments decision to proceed to file an application to the US Food and 
Drug administration for a pre-investigational New Drug meeting to progress development 
of DMX200 following receipt of data generated under the clinical trial for chronic kidney 
disease supporting further progression of the technology within 48 months of completion 
of the Acquisition); and 

iv) 75,000,040 Class C Performance shares (convertible into  75,000,040 shares upon receipt 
of  ethics  approval  allowing  commencement  of  a  second  clinical  trial  derived  from  the 
Dimerix  platform  and  in  relation  to  an  indication  that  is  not  covered  under  the  existing 
Austin Human Research Ethics Committee approval within 48 months of completion of the 
Acquisition). 

From  a  legal  and  taxation  perspective  Dimerix  Limited  is  considered  the  acquiring  entity.  
However, the acquisition has the features of a reverse acquisition as described in the Australian

Accounting Standard AASB 3 “Business Combinations” notwithstanding Dimerix Limited being the 
legal parent of the Group.  The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition from a 
consolidated perspective, where Dimerix Bioscience Pty Ltd is the accounting acquirer and Dimerix 
Limited is the legal acquirer. 

The excess of the fair value of the shares owned by the Dimerix Limited (formerly Sun Biomedical 
Limited)  shareholders  and  the  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  net  assets  of  Dimerix  Limited 
immediately prior to the completion of the merger is accounted for under “AASB 2 “Share –based 
Payment” and resulted in the recognition of $3,971,811 being recorded as “Corporate Restructure 
Expense”.    The  net  assets  of  Dimerix  Limited  were  recorded  at  fair  value  at  completion  of  the 
merger. No adjustments were required to the historical values.
