Chairman’s  
review

Dear Shareholders 

I am delighted to present the Annual Report for the Financial 
Year 2015/2016. Wearable technologies have rapidly shaped  
a new and valuable marketplace and dorsaVi is ideally 
placed to capture opportunities. However, it’s our 
differences rather than our similarities to others  
operating in this market that truly sets us apart.

dorsaVi has a highly important first 
mover position in medical-grade 
wearables and with expanded FDA 
clearance and the validation of 
published clinical data, our products 
are gaining traction with larger 
workforce employers, clinicians, 
insurers and elite sports clubs.

Intersecting with this are a 
number of factors that continue to 
strengthen our market opportunity: 

•  a desire by insurers and large 

manual labour intensive industries 
to reduce the personal, social  
and financial impact of  
workplace injury; 

•  regulatory changes that 

incentivise workplaces to put  
in place preventative practices  
for workplace injury; and 

•  large clinical networks searching 
for a point of difference and an 
opportunity to offer best  
practice treatments. 

dorsaVi is a data driven company 
and the products and services we 
offer are not only contributing to 
the bottom line but are making a 
real difference to clinicians, athletes 
and organisations, with whom we 
do business.

In the Occupational Health and 
Safety (OHS) market, adoption of 
our workplace solutions offering 
is growing at a rapid rate as 
companies place a higher priority 
on data driven decision making  
to reduce workplace injury and 
create a safer work environment. 
We are driving OHS opportunities 

and sales through multiple 
channels; direct via dorsaVi sales 
representatives, insurers, and 
in partnership with a number 
of organisations who provide 
complementary workplace health 
and safety consulting and/or 
solutions in key markets. We are 
pushing into large untapped OHS 
markets which require insights  
from movement and muscle  
activity data, which is leading to  
substantial commercial outcomes 
for our customers. 

In the clinical market we are 
successfully supporting our direct 
to market sales team with two 
highly valuable and important 
partnerships with clinical networks 
in the US and UK which allows us 
to more rapidly grow our installed 
device base. We are pleased to 
have signed two major deals; 
YourPhysioPlan (YPP) in the UK 
and Physiotherapy Associates in 
the US. These partnerships provide 
substantial market opportunity and 
pathways to establish relationships 
within the private health market. 

The sporting market continues to 
provide rich data to inform product 
development and has been essential 
in influencing our next generation 
technology which will be launched 
shortly. We count many professional 
sports teams in the Australian 
Football League (AFL), the English 
Premier League (EPL), and more 
recently teams in the US in the 
National Basketball Association 
(NBA) and in the National Football 
League (NFL).

Our people have always been our 
greatest asset and I am confident 
that our new additions and  
changes in our management  
team will continue to drive  
success. In December 2015,  
Mr Mark Heaysman was appointed 
as Head of US Sales and Operations,  
establishing a base for dorsaVi  
in New York. In May 2016, we 
welcomed Ms Megan Connell  
as Chief Marketing Officer being 
based in Australia and who  
has extensive experience with 
Cochlear in the marketing and 
launch of medical devices. 

On behalf of the board, I would 
like to thank CEO Andrew Ronchi 
and his dedicated team for their 
continued commitment to the 
company and contributing to  
our success. 

We thank our shareholders and 
all of our employees for your 
continued support. I look forward 
to a successful year ahead and 
delivering value for each of you,  
our shareholders.

INTRODUCTION

Throughout the 2016 financial 
year, dorsaVi has demonstrated 
substantial progress across its three 
focus geographies; the US, UK and 
Australia. dorsaVi has entered a 
transformational period where the 
company is attracting and retaining 
a number of high profile contracts 
and partnerships, all of which have 
significant commercial value. The 
business model across the three 
jurisdictions is proving successful, 
each with increasing revenues (123% 
year-on-year total revenue increase) 
on a lean and sustainable cost base 
(year-on-year expenditure down by 
A$1.4M). The strong revenue growth 
shown in FY2016 is expected to 
continue in FY2017.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

dorsaVi Workplace Solutions 
dorsaVi’s workplace solutions 
track and measure how people 
move in their work environment 
allowing companies to assess high 
risk movements with hard data. 
This allows companies to design 
fact-based solutions to create a 
safer work environment. This is  
a large and untapped area where 
annual costs in the US exceed 
US$250 billion per year. The 
demand for data driven insights 
from the workplace is strong. 

dorsaVi’s OHS offering empowers 
its customers to make informed 
decisions and develop evidence- 
based solutions to improve the 
safety of their workplace. In addition, 
insurance trends globally are moving 
towards rewarding organisations 
who introduce programs which 
proactively reduce the growing 
costs of workplace injury.

The company launched ViSafe in 
the UK and US in the 2016 financial 
year and has experienced growing 
awareness and sales momentum. 
The need for data driven OHS 
interventions and solutions has 
been validated through a number 
of new and repeat contracts with 
major companies such as Transport 
for London, Heathrow Airport, 
Severn Trent Water, Monash Health 
and Crown Resorts.

The ViSafe product is continuing 
to evolve with project revenue 
soon to be supplemented by an 
annuity revenue stream through 
the launch of additional ViSafe 
services. dorsaVi’s growing 
body of workplace movement, 
muscle activity and video data 
is a valuable asset and will be 
leveraged through the introduction 
of a number of new products. 
These include dorsaVi’s mini 
sensors, a manual handling App, 
manual handling training, pre-
employment screening and return 
to work guidance. Each of these 
offerings provide potential for 
additional annuity revenue streams.

Allianz Insurance and Monash Health

From carer to patient: how patient and aged carers are the new epidemic  
in workplace injury

In November 2015, dorsaVi formed a three-way commercial arrangement  
with Monash Health and major global workplace insurer Allianz Australia.  
This six figure contract aims to minimise the impact of workplace manual  
handing tasks undertaken by nursing staff. 

High-risk category workers, such as nurses, home carers and personal care 
assistants face daily strain on their lower backs and shoulders – in particular 
through heavy lifting and repetitive movements. The frequency of injured 
nurses has been described as an epidemic in the US, where there are more 
than 35,000 injuries each year, which are so severe that they require time  
off work. Ironically, the nurses are turning into patients themselves, with the 
profession listed alongside labourers and freight handlers as having the highest 
number of musculoskeletal disorders in 2014.

Allianz Insurance is taking a solutions-based approach to reduce the number 
of musculoskeletal incidents. Allianz, in partnership with Monash University 
and dorsaVi, will deploy a formal intervention program that aims to disrupt  
the injury cycle with the aim of reducing injury rates and reducing the financial 
burden on employees and employers.

In this partnership with Monash Health, dorsaVi provided an initial ViSafe 
baseline assessment where 10 workers were assessed for back and shoulder 
movement related risk factors in three key areas: surgical theatre, Intensive 
Care Unit (ICU) and on the hospital ward. After validating certain priority areas 
and higher risk activities, dorsaVi was able to commence intervention planning.

Through an in-depth analysis of the baseline data, the dorsaVi assessment 
team worked with Monash Health to design potential solutions to reduce  
the frequency and duration of high risk movements. These new intervention 
options were then tested, again using ViSafe wearable sensors, to determine 
their impact on high risk movement. A specific assessment methodology was 
developed by dorsaVi for each task, according to a targeted plan. Following 
this testing, dorsaVi conducted a follow-up assessment focusing on the same 
work tasks utilising the new procedures and equipment. 

ViSafe and dorsaVi’s Workplace Solutions offer unique insights to where 
higher risk tasks exist in occupational environments. It is essential that  
worker’s safety is at the forefront of every step we take in ensuring a safer 
workplace. The positive market response and new contracts formed across  
the three regions is a testament that our products and offerings are making  
a substantial difference to workplace safety.

PRODUCT DeVelOPMeNT

Product evolution is an important 
factor in ensuring dorsaVi 
remains ahead of the competition 
and continues to be the world 
leader in movement analysis and 
technologies. Our new product 
development has been driven by  
a combination of in-market testing, 
user feedback and technology 
improvements allowing the new 
dorsaVi sensors to meet customer 
needs in each of the three markets 
(OHS, clinical and sports).

We are pleased to report our 
progress in the development of 
the mini sensors for our devices. 
The ease of use, start up time 
and engagement with patients 
have all been optimised in line 
with significant market feedback 
from the 300 current users of the 
product. We are on the homestretch 
in finalising these updates and are 
excited to launch our new products 
into the workplace health and safety 
market in December 2016 and 
clinical market in February 2017. 

Andrew Ronchi 
Chief Executive Officer

dorsaVi Clinical
The significant growth in the 
number of clinical sites now sees 
more than 300 units deployed 
across clinical and sporting sites, 
with the most rapid increase in 
growth coming from the US clinical 
market. There has also been a large 
number of commercial clinical 
research projects initiated during 
the 2016 financial year, with dorsaVi 
technology now being used in 
more than 65 movement related 
commercial research projects 
across the globe. The universities 
and training hospitals involved  
in these projects are an important 
hub to educate and train the next 
generation of clinicians on the use 
of dorsaVi’s wearable technology 
in the management of movement 
related conditions.

In the US clinical market, there  
has been a significant uptake of 
dorsaVi’s devices in clinical centres 
and additional market opportunities 
arising from expanded FDA 
clearance. From a reimbursement 
perspective, clinicians using the 
dorsaVi technology have been able 
to utilise existing Current Procedural 
Terminology (CPT) codes at multiple 
sites across the US. The US based 
Physiotherapy Associates group, 
which has 540 sites, has commenced 
an initial pilot project rolling out 
ViPerform into 20 clinics across the 
US in a 12-month period. This pilot  
is ahead of schedule with over 15 
clinics already offering ViPerform 
assessments within the first  
6 months. The Physiotherapy 
Associates group was acquired  
by Select Medical, bringing the 
collective number of sites to more  
than 2,000.

Select Medical is one of the largest 
operators of specialty hospitals and 
outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 
the US. These types of partnerships 
provide significant scale and allow 
dorsaVi to work with thought leaders 
on joint initiatives which result in 
collaborative products that add 
significant value to both businesses.

An example of a joint initiative is the 
ViPerform AMI (Athletic Movement 
Index) application, that Select Medical 
launched in August 2016 after 
testing the ViPerform AMI screening 
application on over 800 athletes over 
a three-month period. This exciting 
new application uses dorsaVi’s 
proprietary algorithms and the 
Athletic Movement Index to provide 
an instant report as to whether the 
athlete’s movement patterns may 
increase the risk of injury and also 
provides a planned management  
and rehabilitation approach.

dorsaVi is now seeing significant 
interest from large pharmaceutical 
and medical device groups who 
wish to use an FDA cleared wearable 
device to analyse movement data 
to provide clinical validation for 
their various products. dorsaVi’s 
background in conducting successful 
clinical trials provides an attractive 
offering for these large multinationals 
who rely on the measurements of 
movements and muscle activity in 
these extremely costly clinical trials.

Sporting Solutions
The sporting market continues 
to be an important segment 
providing a platform for product 
expansion and development, and 
remains a high value source of 
awareness and validation.

We continue to focus on expanding 
sales of our sporting solution, 
ViPerform. Over the past year we 
have seen adoption of the device 
across multiple codes overseas 
including NBA, NFL, EPL and 
National Rugby League (NRL).  
We continue to expand our footprint 
with current US sports customers 
including; NFL teams, New Orleans 
Saints, Cleveland Browns and the 
2015 Super Bowl champions, New 
England Patriots; NBA champions, 
Golden State Warriors, as well as  
LA Lakers, LA Clippers and Houston 
Rockets. In addition, other key 
sporting groups and networks are 
utilising the ViPerform technology 
including the MLS, Ohio State 
University and Marquette University 
basketball team.

results

The consolidated loss after income tax attributable to the members of dorsaVi Ltd was $5,237,102 (2015: $8,036,161).

review of oPerAtioNs

dorsaVi Ltd has been listed on the ASX since December 2013.

The Company consists of four entities:

§§ dorsaVi Ltd, the listed Parent company;

§§ dorsaVi Europe Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated and domiciled in the UK;

§§ dorsaVi USA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated and domiciled in the US; and

§§ Australian Workplace Compliance Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary domiciled in Australia.

Revenue for the 2016 financial year was $3,238,138 (2015: $1,850,416) predominantly driven by 123% (2015: 157%) 
growth in sales revenue to $3,019,928 (2015: $1,358,218).

dorsaVi AnnuAl RepoRt // 2016Directors’ report8

Directors’ rePort

The loss from continuing operations after income tax for the 2016 financial year was $5,237,102 (2015: $8,036,161), 
a reduction of 35% on the 2015 financial year.

dorsaVi Ltd has continued to focus on building its sales revenue and customer base in each of its three geographic 
locations and, at the same time, reducing cost. Whilst sales revenue grew by 123% year on year, total expenditure 
reduced by $1,381,420 (13% year on year) mainly due to: a reduction in employee benefits expense; reduced 
expenditure on US establishment costs; lower advertising and conference expenditure; a more stable regulatory 
environment resulting in less new regulatory expenditure; and reductions in travel expenses.

oHs services

dorsaVi continued the launch of the OHS ViSafe product into the UK and US during the 2016 financial year.  
The strong need for this product was validated by major corporates signing up for ViSafe assessments with a high  
proportion of these corporations signing on for repeat and larger contracts. Significant new and repeat customers 
included Transport for London (TFL), Vinci Construction, Crown Resorts, Monash Health in association with Allianz, 
Sodexo and Caterpillar. There were also project wins with organisations such as Heathrow Airport, Severn Trent 
Water, Linfox, Tesco, Metcash, Jaguar Land Rover and Toyota, undertaking initial and repeat OHS assessments.

Revenue for OHS Consultancy, utilising ViSafe technology, was $1,737,388 for the 2016 financial year up 99% over 
the 2015 financial year ($872,339) reflecting continued growth in the Australian market, and significant expansion 
in both the UK and US markets.

cliNicAl AND sPorts ProDuct

By 30 June 2016 the Company had 300 devices in the market globally. This represented a 76% increase over the 
170 devices in the market at 30 June 2015.

Revenue from the licensing and sale of devices was $1,282,540 for the 2016 financial year up 164% over the 2015 
financial year ($485,879).

The directors expect revenue in Australia, Europe and the US to continue to grow year on year. Factors impacting 
and driving this growth include: the effectiveness of the global marketing plan; additional sales generation in 
the OHS market in the Europe and US markets; shortening of the sales lead times; and the adoption of new 
product development.

Cost of sales increased in the 2016 financial year to $848,855 (2015: $114,177) in line with expectations and largely 
as a result of the increase in OHS assessments.

Employee benefits expense for the 2016 financial year was $4,762,296 (2015: $5,260,764), a 9.5% decrease year 
on year. The employee headcount at 30 June 2016 was 28 (2015: 33), which represented a 15% decrease year on 
year. Employee benefits expense represented 50% of the total expenses for the Company for the 2016 financial 
year (2015: 48%).

Advertising and conference expenses for the 2016 financial year were $288,047 (2015: $1,013,938), which represented 
a 72% reduction year on year. Significant advertising expenses were incurred in the prior year for the corporate 
and product line rebrand and to build and launch a new website. Conference expenses were incurred during the 
2015 financial year as part of the product launch platform in the UK and the US.

Regulatory expenses for the 2016 financial year were $212,405 (2015: $506,052). The prior year included significant 
expenses incurred in obtaining FDA clearance for the increased use of the ViMove and ViPerform products in the 
US market as well as State based regulatory compliance establishment costs incurred in the US.

Travel expenses for the 2016 financial year were $392,388 (2015: $932,546) reflecting: the growing maturity of the 
international businesses; a reduction in attendance at conferences; a more refined geographic targeting of potential 
customers; and the increased use of technologies that reduce the need for travel.

The material business risks that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of the Company include;

§§ Over time, dorsaVi may be subjected to increased competition if potential competitors develop new 

technologies or make scientific or systems advances that compare with or compete with dorsaVi’s products 

§§ In the medical sector (but not the Elite Sports or OHS sectors), sales and adoption rates of dorsaVi’s system are, 
in part, likely to be influenced by the availability and level of reimbursement from government and/or insurance 
payers. Whilst the dorsaVi’s products already benefit from reimbursement in some circumstances, there is no 
guarantee that the use of dorsaVi’s products will receive further reimbursement

9

§§ General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have 
an adverse effect on the dorsaVi’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. In particular, much 
of its future income is expected to come from the US and European markets and therefore dorsaVi’s activities 
will be affected by currency exchange fluctuations.

§§ dorsaVi is not currently profitable. Proceeds from the initial float in the 2014 financial year and subsequent 

capital raisings were and are primarily being used to fund, both, the commercial rollout of dorsaVi’s products 
and continued product development. There is no guarantee that the commercial rollout will result in profitability 
for the Company. If the commercial roll out is slower or less successful than planned, dorsaVi may need to raise 
additional capital in the future.

siGNificANt cHANGes iN tHe stAte of AffAirs

The following changes in the state of affairs occurred during the period:

§§ On 9 July 2015, dorsaVi Ltd announced that it had signed two leading National Football League (NFL) teams, the 
New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns as well as Major League Soccer (MLS) team, Toronto FC, and National 
Basketball Association (NBA) champion, Golden State Warriors, to use the Company’s ViPerform technology.

§§ On 17 August 2015, dorsaVi Ltd announced that it had signed its largest commercial contract covering an 18-month 

period with Crown Resorts to provide workplace safety assessments using the Company’s ViSafe technology.

§§ On 17 August 2015, dorsaVi Ltd issued 500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in accordance with the Company’s 
2013 Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP). The Company provided a non-recourse interest-free loan to 
assist the executive to subscribe for the shares. These shares were issued at a market price of $0.26 per share. 
These shares carry a full entitlement to dividends and capital returns. dorsaVi Ltd has the discretion to determine 
if dividends paid can be applied against the non-recourse loan. These shares are not subject to restrictions such 
that the employee is able to trade the shares if the balance of principle outstanding has been paid on the loan.

remuneration strategy

The remuneration strategy of dorsaVi Ltd is designed to attract, motivate and retain Employees, Executives and 
Non-Executive Directors in Australia, the United States and Europe by identifying and rewarding high performers 
and recognising the contribution of each employee to the continued growth and success of the Company.

To this end, the key objectives of the Company’s reward framework are to:

§§ Align remuneration with the Company’s business strategy;

§§ Offer an attractive mix of remuneration benchmarked against the applicable market’s region and country practices;

§§ Provide strong linkage between individual and Company performance and rewards;

§§ Offer remuneration based on internal equity with other employees and individual skill matching the role 

requirements with their experience and responsibilities;

§§ Align the interests of executives and shareholders and share the success of the Company with the employees; and

§§ Support the corporate mission statement, values and policies through the approach to recruiting, organizing 

and managing people.

remuneration structure

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

Non-executive Director remuneration structure

The ASX Listing Rules specify that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of remuneration  
of Non-Executive Directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities. 

The Board, and since its inception the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, considers the level of remuneration 
required to attract and retain Directors with the necessary skills and experience for the Company’s Board.  
This remuneration is reviewed with regard to market practice and Directors’ duties and accountability.

The constitution provides that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to remuneration for their services  
as determined by the Board up to an aggregate limit of $500,000 (which may be increased with Shareholder 
approval). The Company has obtained advice about remuneration levels for Directors of listed companies and, 
based on that advice, set the following annual non-executive Directors’ fees:

§§ Chairman: $75,092 plus superannuation;

§§ Other Directors: $50,000 plus superannuation; and

§§ Further fees for acting as chairman of a committee: $5,000 plus superannuation per committee.

The Company determines the maximum amount for remuneration, including thresholds for share-based remuneration 
for Executives, by resolution. The remuneration received by the Non-Executive Directors for the year ended  
30 June 2016 is detailed in Table 1 of this section of the report.

Non-executive directors receive fees and do not receive options or bonus payments.

executive remuneration structure

The Company provides a remuneration package that incorporates both cash based remuneration and share-based 
remuneration. The contracts for service between the Company and executives are on a continuing basis the terms 
of which are not expected to change in the immediate future. Share-based remuneration is conditional upon 
continuing employment thereby aligning director and shareholder interests.

Remuneration consists of the following key elements:

§§ Fixed remuneration (base salary and superannuation); and

§§ Variable remuneration – short term incentives (STI) in the form of an annual incentive plan and long term equity 

incentive (LTI)

17

fixed remuneration
Objective

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board/Nomination & Remuneration Committee. The process 
consists of a review of the Company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration from 
external and internal sources and where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Structure

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and 
allowances (such as motor vehicle allowance). It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal 
for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company.

variable remuneration – short-term incentive (sti)
Objective

The key objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Company’s operational targets with the 
remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. 

Structure

Any STI payments granted depends on the extent to which specific targets set at the beginning of the financial 
year or on appointment are met. The Key Milestones or Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) cover individual, 
team and organisational financial measures of performance. Typically included are measures such as: achieving 
sales/revenue targets and/or growth, and meeting Company compliance requirements. These measures were 
chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short-term success of dorsaVi.

The Company has predetermined benchmarks that must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI scheme. 
Either on an annual or financial year basis, after consideration of performance against the Key Milestones or KPIs, 
the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, in line with their responsibilities determine the amount, if any, of the 
STI to be paid to each Executive. This process usually occurs within one month after the trigger date.

The annual STI payments available for executives across the Company are subject to the approval of the 
Nomination & Remuneration Committee.

variable remuneration – long-term incentive (lti)
Objective 

The objectives of providing long term incentives are: to motivate and retain key dorsaVi employees; to attract 
quality employees; to create commonality of purpose between dorsaVi and its employees; to add wealth for  
all shareholders of the Company through the motivation of dorsaVi’s employees; and by allowing dorsaVi’s 
employees to share the rewards of the success of dorsaVi through the acquisition of, or entitlements to, shares 
and options.

Structure

The Board offers LTIs to reward the performance of employees, which is in alignment with shareholders’ interests 
and the long term benefit of the Company. LTI awards are made under the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) 
and are delivered in the form of share options or loan for shares. Each option entitles the holder to one fully paid 
ordinary share of dorsaVi Ltd at an exercise price to be determined in an employee’s employment agreement or 
by determination by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee.

Where an LTI participant ceases employment prior to vesting in their award, the options are forfeited unless the 
Nomination & Remuneration Committee applies its discretion to allow vesting at or post cessation of employment 
in appropriate circumstances.

Options were granted, under the ESOP plan, during the 2016 Financial Year to Zoe Whyatt. See Table 6.

Shares were issued, in accordance with the ESOP plan, during the 2016 Financial Year to Mark Heaysman 
(500,000 at an average market price of 26 cents). See Table 7.

D. relationship between remuneration and company performance
(a) remuneration not dependent on satisfaction of performance condition 

The non-executives remuneration policy is not directly related to Company performance. The Board considers a 
remuneration policy based on short-term returns may not be beneficial to the long-term creation of wealth by the 
Company for shareholders.

(b) remuneration dependent on satisfaction of performance condition

A portion of the Executive Remuneration is based on attainment of performance conditions. Performance-based 
remuneration includes short-term cash bonus and long-term incentive plan. Performance-based remuneration 
granted to key management personnel has regard to Company performance over a twelve month to 2-year period.

The Board is currently investigating the design and implementation of a revised performance linked incentive 
scheme which will reflect the current and future performance of the Company.

e. key management personnel’s share-based compensation

(a) Details of compensation options

In 2016 the Company agreed to grant Zoe Whyatt an Option under the Company’s Employee Share Ownership 
Plan 2013 to purchase 250,000 ordinary shares of the Company. These options vested on granting and are 
exercisable over a five-year period ended 30 September 2020.

The exercise price of the options is $0.2768 which is equal to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s 
ordinary shares on the five trading days prior to 30 September 2015. As a condition of the option grant, Zoe Whyatt 
executed an individual stock option agreement in the form provided by the Company at the time such option was 
authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors.

In accordance with that agreement the Company, if Zoe Whyatt remains an employee at the relevant dates, will 
grant a further 250,000 options on 31 October 2016 and 250,000 options on 31 October 2017. The exercise price 
of each of these options will be the volume weighted average price of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares for 
the 5 days ending on the date of each grant. Each of these options will vest equally on the last day of the month for 
12 months from the date of grant. Each of these options will be exercisable during the five years commencing on 
the date of each grant.

Note 1:  stAteMeNt of siGNificANt AccouNtiNG Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the 
preparation and presentation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, 
unless otherwise stated.

(a)  basis of preparation of the financial report

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations act 2001.

The financial report covers dorsaVi Ltd and controlled entities as a consolidated entity. dorsaVi Ltd is a company 
limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. dorsaVi Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of 
preparing the financial statements.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on the date of the director’s report.

compliance with ifrs

The consolidated financial statements of dorsaVi Ltd also comply with the International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations to fair 
value for certain classes of assets as described in the accounting policies.

significant accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in applying the entity’s 
accounting policies. Those estimates and judgements significant to the financial report are disclosed in Note 2.

(b)  Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

(c)  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial statements  
of the parent entity and of all entities, which the parent entity controls. The Company controls an entity when it  
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those 
returns through its power over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using 
consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies, which 
may exist.

All inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated on 
consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is established and are de-recognised 
from the date that control ceases.

Note 1:  stAteMeNt of siGNificANt AccouNtiNG Policies continued

(d)  revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods 
have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured 
reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered to have passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the 
goods to the customer.

Revenue from the provision of services to a customer is recognised upon performance of the service. Accrued 
income arising from recognised revenue is transferred to trade receivables when project milestones are achieved 
and tax invoices are raised. Certain customers may be invoiced in advance of the provision of services and this 
unearned income is recognised as a liability until the service is performed. 

Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised by reference to the stage of completion. The stage of completion 
is determined using inputs from dorsaVi’s project management methodology, including effort expended and effort 
to complete.

Revenue from grants is recognised in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of AASB 
120 “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance”.

Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking into account the interest 
rates applicable to the financial assets.

Device rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the rental term.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(e)  cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of 
three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within 
borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(f)  inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes 
direct material, direct labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

(g)  Plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any 
accumulated impairment loss.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives commencing from the 
time the asset is held ready for use.

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance

operating leases

Lease payments for operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Financial RepoRt35

(i)  intangibles
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination 
that are not individually identifiable or separately recognised.

Goodwill is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes 

in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated  
impairment losses.

Patents

Patents, trademarks and licenses are recognised at cost and depreciated on a straight line basis over their 
effective lives, which is estimated to be 20 years.

research

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense when incurred.

Development

Development costs are capitalised when the entity can demonstrate all of the following: the technical feasibility  
of completing the asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the intention to complete the asset and use  
or sell it; the ability to use or sell the asset; how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits; the 
availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell 
the asset; and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development. 
Capitalised development expenditure is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated 
impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using a straight-line method to allocate the cost of the intangible 
asset over its estimated useful life, which range from 5 to 10 years. Amortisation commences when the intangible 
asset is available for use.

Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense when incurred.

(j)  impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject 
to amortisation and are therefore tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are generally grouped at the lowest levels for which there are  
largely independent cash flows (‘cash generating units’). Accordingly, most assets are tested for impairment  
at the cash-generating unit level. Because it does not generate cash flows independently of other assets or 
groups of assets, goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit or units that are expected to benefit from  
the synergies arising from the business combination that gave rise to the goodwill.

Assets other than goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use and intangible assets with indefinite useful  
lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate the asset may be impaired.

An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds the asset’s 
or cash generating unit’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is defined 
as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Refer to Note 2 for a description of how management 
determines value in use.

Impairment losses in respect of individual assets are recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the asset is 
carried at a revalued amount such as property, plant and equipment, in which case the impairment loss is treated 
as a revaluation decrease in accordance with the applicable Standard. Impairment losses in respect of cash 
generating units are allocated first against the carrying amount of any goodwill attributed to the cash generating

(k)  income tax

Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the 
applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax balances

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates when the 
assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they  
arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the 
transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised 
directly in equity.

tax consolidation

dorsaVi Ltd (parent entity) and its wholly owned subsidiary, (Australian Workplace Compliance Pty Ltd), have 
applied tax consolidation legislation and formed a tax-consolidated group from 1 July 2014. The parent entity and 
subsidiary in the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement such that each entity in the 
tax-consolidated group recognises the assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues in relation to its own transactions, 
events and balances only. This means that:

§§ the parent entity recognises all current and deferred tax amounts relating to its own transactions, events and 

balances only;

§§ the subsidiary recognise current or deferred tax amounts arising in respect of their own transactions, events 

and balances;

§§ current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising in respect of tax losses, are transferred from the subsidiary 

to the head entity as inter-company payables or receivables.

The tax-consolidated group also has a tax sharing agreement in place to limit the liability of the subsidiary in the 
tax-consolidated group arising under the joint and several liability requirements of the tax consolidation system,  
in the event of default by the parent entity to meet its payment obligations.

(l)  Provision

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of  
past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be 
reliably measured.

(m)  employee benefits

(i)  short-term employee benefit obligations

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected to  
be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts based on remuneration rates 
which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short-term employee benefits  
in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. 
All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

(ii)  long-term employee benefit obligations

The provision for employee benefits in respect of long service leave and annual leave which, are not expected to 
be settled within twelve months of the reporting date, are measured at the present value of the estimated future 
cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have  
an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when 
the actual settlement is expected to occur.

Financial RepoRt37

(iii)  retirement benefit obligations
Defined contribution superannuation plan

The consolidated entity makes contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans in respect of employee 
services rendered during the year. These superannuation contributions are recognised as an expense in the same 
period when the employee services are received.

(iv)  share-based payments

The consolidated entity operates share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of  
the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over  
the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is measured at  
the market bid price at grant date. In respect of share-based payments that are dependent on the satisfaction  
of performance conditions, the number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each 
reporting date. The amount recognised for services received as consideration for these equity instruments granted 
is adjusted to reflect the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(v)  bonus plan 

The consolidated entity recognises a provision when a bonus is payable in accordance with the employee’s 
contract of employment, and the amount can be reliably measured.

(n)  borrowing costs

Borrowing costs can include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges  
in respect of finance leases, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent  
that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. 

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

(o)  financial instruments

classification

The consolidated entity classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. 
The classification depends on the purpose for which the instruments were acquired. Management determines the 
classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.

loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and subsequently at amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method.

financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade payables, other creditors, loans from third parties and loans or other amounts 
due to director-related entities.

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments 
and amortisation 

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

impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are tested for impairment at each financial year end to establish whether there is any objective 
evidence for impairment.

For loans and receivables, impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount 
and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) 
discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The amount of the loss reduces the carrying 
amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. The impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss if the  
amount of the impairment loss decreases in a subsequent period and the decrease can be related objectively  
to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised.

(p)  foreign currency translations and balances 
functional and presentation currency

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

transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the consolidated group are translated into functional currency 
at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising 
under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are 
translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year.

Except for certain foreign currency hedges, all resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re statement 
are recognised as revenues and expenses for the financial year.

foreign subsidiaries

Entities that have a functional currency different to the presentation currency are translated as follows:

§§ Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate on reporting date;

§§ Income and expenses are translated at actual exchange rates or average exchange rates for the period,  

where appropriate; and

§§ All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(q)  Goods and services tax (Gst)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the 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 component of investing 
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(r)  comparatives

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current 
year disclosures.

Asic instrument on rounding of amounts

In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, the amounts 
in the directors’ report and in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

(s)  Accounting standards issued but not yet effective at 30 June 2016

The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have 
mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the consolidated  
entity. The consolidated entity has decided not to early adopt any of these new and amended pronouncements.  
The consolidated entity’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the 
consolidated entity but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below.

§§ AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2014), AASB 2014-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting 

Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014), AASB 2014-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014) – Application of AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 
(December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018).

These Standards will replace AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The key changes 
that may affect the consolidated entity on initial application of AASB 9 and associated amending Standards include:

§§ simplifying the general classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried 

at fair value;

Financial RepoRt39

§§ permitting entities to irrevocably elect on initial recognition to present gains and losses on an equity instrument 

that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income (OCI);

§§ simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives, including removing the requirements to separate  

and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;

§§ requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the  
change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in OCI, except when it would create  
an ‘accounting mismatch’;

§§ introducing a new model for hedge accounting that permits greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, 

particularly with respect to non-financial items; and

§§ requiring impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost to be based on an expected loss approach.

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the consolidated entity’s 
financial instruments, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

§§ AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 2014-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting 

Standards arising from AASB 15, AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective 
Date of AASB 15 and AASB 2016-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarifications to AASB 
15 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018).

  AASB 15 will provide (except in relation to some specific exceptions, such as lease contracts and insurance 

contracts) a single source of accounting requirements for all contracts with customers, thereby replacing all 
current accounting pronouncements on revenue.

These Standards provide a revised principle for recognising and measuring revenue. Under AASB 15, revenue  
is recognised in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount  
that reflects the consideration to which the provider of the goods or services expects to be entitled. To give  
effect to this principle, AASB 15 requires the adoption of the following 5-step model:

§§ identify the contract(s) with a customer;

§§ identify the performance obligations under the contract(s);

§§ determine the transaction price;

§§ allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations under the contract(s); and

§§ recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

AASB 15 also provides additional guidance to assist entities in applying the revised principle to licences  
of intellectual property, warranties, rights of return, principal/agent considerations and options for additional  
goods and services.

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 may have an impact on the consolidated  
entity’s reported revenue, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

AASB 16: Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).

AASB 16 will replace AASB 117: Leases and introduces a single lessee accounting model that will require a lessee 
to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the 
underlying asset is of low value. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at their cost and lease liabilities are 
initially measured on a present value basis. Subsequent to initial recognition:

§§ right-of-use assets are accounted for on a similar basis to non-financial assets, whereby the right-of-use asset  
is accounted for in accordance with a cost model unless the underlying asset is accounted for on a revaluation 
basis, in which case if the underlying asset is:

–  investment property, the lessee applies the fair value model in AASB 140: Investment Property to the  

right-of-use asset; or

–  property, plant or equipment, the lessee can elect to apply the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant 
and Equipment to all of the right-of-use assets that relate to that class of property, plant and equipment; and

–  lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis as other financial liabilities, whereby interest expense  
is recognised in respect of the liability and the carrying amount of the liability is reduced to reflect lease 
payments made.

AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, under AASB 
16 a lessor would continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases subject to whether the lease 
transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, 
and would account for each type of lease in a manner consistent with the current approach under AASB 117.

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 may have an impact on the consolidated entity’s 
accounting for its operating leases, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

Note 2:  siGNificANt AccouNtiNG estiMAtes AND JuDGeMeNts

Certain accounting estimates include assumptions concerning the future, which, by definition, will seldom 
represent actual results. Estimates and assumptions based on future events have a significant inherent risk,  
and where future events are not as anticipated there could be a material impact on the carrying amounts  
of the assets and liabilities discussed below:

(a)  impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

All assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating whether indicators of impairment exist 
in relation to the continued use of the asset by the consolidated entity. Impairment triggers include declining 
product or manufacturing performance, technology changes, adverse changes in the economic or political 
environment or future product expectations. If an indicator of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of  
the asset is determined.

Value in use calculations are based on projected cash flows approved by management covering a maximum 
five-year period. Management’s determination of cash flow projections are based on past performance and its 
expectations of the future.

(b)  income tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in the income 
tax legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable  
the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable 
that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences.

(c)  employee benefits

The calculation of long term employment benefits requires estimation of the retention of staff, future wage levels 
and timing of the settlement of employee entitlements. The estimates are based on historical trends.

(d)  share based payments

Calculation of share based payments requires estimation of the timing of the exercise of the underlying equity 
instrument. The estimates are based on historical trends.

Note 3:  fiNANciAl risk MANAGeMeNt

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because  
of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the operation of wholly owned subsidiaries in the 
United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Whilst operations in these geographical regions are in their infancy, the Company has not established a hedging 
policy to mitigate adverse currency risk.

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing 
to discharge an obligation.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date of 
recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provisions for impairment of those 
assets, as disclosed in consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under 
financial instruments entered into by the Company.

The Company minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions 
with a number of known and existing customers and reputable organisations.

(i)  cash deposits

Credit risk for cash deposits is managed by holding all cash deposits with major Australian banks.

(ii)  trade receivables

Credit risk for trade receivables is managed by setting credit limits and completing credit checks for new 
customers. Outstanding receivables are regularly monitored for payment in accordance with credit terms.

The ageing analysis of trade and other receivables is provided in Note 9.

As the consolidated entity undertakes transactions with a large number of customers and regularly monitors 
payment in accordance with credit terms, the financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired, are expected 
to be received in accordance with the credit terms.

(iii)  other receivables

Other receivables relate to Research and Development tax concessions receivable from the Australian Taxation 
Office and do not pose a material credit risk.

(d)  liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that, at all times, it has sufficient 
liquidity to meet its liabilities. The Company has cash reserves and expects to settle all financial liabilities within 
six months of year end.

Note 22:  sHAre bAseD PAyMeNts

(a)  employee share plan

The Board established an Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP). This plan was established by the Company to 
facilitate the acquisition of Shares and Options by those employed, or otherwise engaged by, or holding a position 
of office in, dorsaVi.

They key objective of the plan is to provide an incentive for employees to align their interests with those of the 
shareholders. Other objectives of the ESOP include:

§§ to attract, motivate and retain quality employees and Directors of dorsaVi;

§§ to create a commitment and united purpose between the employees and Directors and dorsaVi; and

§§ to add wealth for all shareholders of dorsaVi through the motivation of dorsaVi’s employees and Directors.

This plan allows for dorsaVi to offer employees non-recourse and interest-free loans to acquire fully paid shares. 
On 20 September 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the giving of such financial assistance.

Only a person who is an Eligible Person may be invited and authorised by the Board to participate in this plan.  
An Eligible person means:

§§ an employee of dorsaVi or a subsidiary of dorsaVi; or

§§ a Director of dorsaVi or a subsidiary of dorsaVi who holds a salaried employment or office in dorsaVi  

or a subsidiary of dorsaVi; or

§§ a contractor engaged by dorsaVi or a subsidiary of dorsaVi and whom the Company has determined  

is an Eligible Person to participate in this plan.

There is no maximum limit on the number of Securities that may be acquired by Eligible Persons under the ESOP. 
However, the Board intends to restrict further issues of Securities to no more than 5% of the Company’s issued share 
capital. This limit will be maintained unless shareholder approval is subsequently sought to increase this level.

Post 30 June 2015

Between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016, 500,000 Shares were granted under the ESOP at an average market price 
of 26 cents, subject to a non-recourse loan. These shares carry a full entitlement to dividends and capital returns. 
There is no ability for the Company to offset dividends paid against the non-recourse loan.

The ESOP Shares are subject to restriction agreements imposing loan repayment obligations, and, that the 
holders of Shares are not able to trade them within 12 months of issuance. After 12 months, 1/3rd of the issued 
shares can be traded. Contingent upon continued employment with the Company and meeting loan repayment 
obligations, the remaining shares become available for trading at a monthly rate of 1/36th of the shares issued 
over the subsequent 24 months.

Note 27:  seGMeNt iNforMAtioN

(a)  Description of segments
The consolidated entity’s chief operating decision maker has identified the following reportable segments:

§§ Segment 1: Australia

§§ Segment 2: Europe

§§ Segment 3: United States of America

Management differentiates operating segments based on geographical areas and regulatory environments. The 
type of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenue is considered the same.

The operating segments have been identified based on internal reports reviewed by the consolidated entity’s 
chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance.

(b)  segment information
The consolidated entity’s chief operating decision maker’s use segment revenue and segment result to assess  
the financial performance of each operating segment. Due to the infancy of segment operations (i.e. both  
dorsaVi Europe Ltd & dorsaVi USA Inc. subsidiaries incorporated during the 2014 year), the chief operating 
decision makers only receive aggregated financial information for assets and liabilities. Accordingly, there are  
no disclosures for the individual segment’s financial positions at year end.

Amounts for segment information are measured in the same way in the financial statements. They include items 
directly attributable to the segment and those that can reasonably be allocated to the segment based on the 
operations of the segment. There has been no inter-segment revenue or expenses during the year.

Segment information is reconciled to financial statements and underlying profit disclosure notes as following:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF 
dorsaVi Ltd 

Report on the Financial Report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of dorsaVi Ltd and controlled entities, which comprises 
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or 
loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  consolidated 
statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting 
policies  and  other  explanatory  information,  and  the  directors’  declaration  of  the  consolidated  entity 
comprising  the  company  and  the  entities  it  controlled  at  the  year's  end  or  from  time  to  time  during  the 
financial year. 

Directors’ Responsibility 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 Note 1, 
the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standard  AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial 
Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor's Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit 
in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Those  standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant 
ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk 
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial 
report  that  gives  a  true  and  fair  view  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 
circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  company's 
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation 
of the financial report. 

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

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act
