dorsaVi Ltd was impacted in the 6 months to 30 June 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic and focused on: protecting its people, 
maintaining recurring revenue and controlling cost. 

Total revenue decreased 26% year on year with most of this decline occurring in the six months to 30 June 2020. 

The loss from continuing operations after income tax for the 2019 financial year was $7,593,079 (2019: $4,020,751), an 
increase of 89% on the 2019 financial year. 

Total expenditure was $10,447,502 for the 2020 financial year (2019: $7,811,269).  The 2020 expenditure includes a provision 
for impairment of intangible assets of $4,018,354 (2019: $nil). 

The Directors have assessed the $4,018,354 carrying value of its Intangible Assets (patents and capitalised development 
expenditure) for impairment based on value in use calculations.  Given the recent change in the Group’s business strategy (i.e. 
transition to a Software as a Service (SaaS) recurring revenue strategy), the Group’s forecasts have been updated based upon 
reasonable and prudent assumptions including growth rates, discount rates and terminal values.  This has resulted in a 
provision for impairment of $4,018,354. 

The directors believe that the recurring revenue business strategy will maximise the group’s growth and financial performance 
prospects, and, should future performance exceed the forecasts, the current impairment provision may be reversed in future 
periods. 

Without the provision for impairment total expenditure for 2020 would have been $6,429,148 (2019: $7,811,269).  This 
reduction of $1,382,121 was largely due to cost control measures undertaken by the Group throughout the financial year with 
employee benefits expense reducing 24% to $3,040,365 (2019: $3,979,898). 

During the financial year there were no returns to shareholders in any form.

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW 

Dear Shareholders 

I am pleased to present dorsaVi Ltd’s (dorsaVi) 2020 annual report to our shareholders. 

With  workplace  health  costs  growing  at  unsustainable  rates  and  injuries  in  the  workplace  continuing  to  be  a  major  issue, 
efficient,  technology-based  solutions  aiming  to  reduce  health  costs  and  minimise  injuries  in  the  workplace  are  attractive 
offerings. dorsaVi’s data driven solutions have been shown to improve health outcomes in clinical trials and reduce injuries in 
workplaces. dorsaVi is therefore very well positioned to expand their product uptake through the major markets.  

FY20 was a year of adapting to change for dorsaVi considering Coronavirus (COVID-19). The Company continued to focus 
on building recurring revenue, reducing costs through operational changes and navigating the challenges posed by COVID-
19. The Company has been able to show continued growth in challenging circumstances, growing recurring revenue through 
FY20, with the workplace market showing stronger resilience than the clinical market and noting that there was a reduction in 
total revenues during FY20 of close to 20%.  

The relocation of our CEO, Andrew Ronchi, to the US market, has allowed the Company to gain an in-depth knowledge of the 
US workplace and clinical markets and to focus on strategic deals with major corporates. The appointment of our General 
Manager of Operations, Matthew May, has allowed a focus on business operations and cost efficiency. Our Chief Technical 
Officer,  David  Erikson,  is  providing  senior  product  guidance  for  the  architectural  design  for  dorsaVi’s  current  and  future 
products to ensure that the Company’s products are in line with global medical device and data security requirements.  

The operational changes made in FY19 to reduce costs have been continued into FY20 and have been made even more 
stringent, especially during COVID-19 times. The Company’s non-executive directors received shareholder approval at the 
2019 AGM, to accept options in lieu of directors’ fees, applicable from 1 March 2019. All staff across the Company have taken 
a reduction to their usual hours during COVID-19 and the executive team have taken significant salary reductions to assist the 
Company  through  this  unprecedented  time.  I  would  like  to  thank  the  Directors,  executive  team  and  the  dorsaVi  staff  for 
accepting these changes during this difficult time and acknowledge the support of both the Australian and the US Governments 
in supporting businesses with Government stimulus packages during this time. 

During  FY20,  the  Company  signed  important  deals  in  the  workplace  market  including  BHP  Australia,  PERMA  (New  York 
insurer), Northwell Health, VISY Board and Sydney Water, some of which are repeat customers. Many of our workplace clients 
have expanded their myViSafe™ offering across their wider business, providing evidence that the recurring revenue product 
is well positioned to scale. Workplace recurring revenue has stayed firm during the COVID-19 period with most customers 
continuing  to  pay  their  monthly  subscriptions  for  the  use  of  myViSafe™.  In  the  last  quarter  of  FY20,  dorsaVi  secured  a 
partnership with major workers compensation insurer, QBE Australia. Insurers continue to be an important channel partner for 
dorsaVi, introducing our technology and data insights to companies with an appetite to reduce manual handling injuries. This 
deal assists both the insurer and its clients, as it can lead to fewer claims and lower premiums.  

In  the  clinical  market  the  effect  of  COVID-19  was  more  immediate  as  some  of  our  clinical  customers  requested  their 
subscriptions be put on hold. We also saw a temporary slowing of new sales, noting that later in Q4 sales activity started to 
build  again.  There  continues  to  be  demand,  especially  in  the  US  market,  for  dorsaVi’s  data  driven  clinical  solutions, 
Professional Suite™ and Movement Suite™, with the most popular module being the Athletic Movement Index. The large 
clinical franchise groups in the US market continue to be a major strategic opportunity for dorsaVi, with some of these groups 
piloting the dorsaVi products. One group, Select Medical, has dorsaVi products in over 75 of their 2,000 sites. Other strategic 
deals in the clinical market include a 2nd stage deal with Stryker, and a new pilot project with Medtronic. These synergistic 
projects with global medical device companies are further evidence that the data insights captured and interpreted by dorsaVi’s 
technology provide valuable and clinically relevant data for clinical practice.

We look forward to the new financial year knowing that sales activity has risen through Q4, hoping to leverage this trend into 
next year. We have put in place a frugal cost structure to ensure we protect our valuable cash reserves during these uncertain 
times. We will continue to focus on  growing our recurring revenue in both the workplace and the clinical markets. We are 
optimistic that we will be able to execute on our strategies and will continue to update  shareholders on our progress.  

On behalf of my fellow Board members, I would like to thank CEO, Andrew Ronchi, and his team for their hard work, their 
adapting to change and their dedication to dorsaVi. The Company’s leading technologies can assist patient’s recovery and 
drive improvement in workplace practices with the goal of reducing injuries in the workplace.  

To our shareholders, we are grateful for your continued support.

CEO REPORT 

Introduction 

The  FY20  has been  a  year  that  has  demanded  change  and  the  necessity  to  adapt  to a ‘new  normal’ given the economic 
consequences of a global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  

COVID-19 has increased the need for the adoption of digital solutions on the health and safety culture of the workplace.  This 
has highlighted the need for companies to adapt to delivering both health and safety services and solutions remotely. dorsaVi 
has worked diligently over the past 3 years to ensure that our products are deliverable remotely, sold online and that our data 
is handled in an automated fashion, direct to the user. The dorsaVi business model is demonstrating resilience and leading 
through this period, evidenced by our recently released Q4 results. 

The Company modelled different scenarios of how COVID-19 could impact the business and we have been pleased with the 
retention of the recurring revenue through this period, with Q4 recurring revenue showing growth on Q3. This helps to validate 
the sticky nature of our recurring revenue, and the high value placed on our products by our existing customers. 

The other factor that allows dorsaVi to look forward with some optimism is that we have a diversified sales strategy across 
three  geographies,  the  UK,  US  and  Australia.  As  we  have  recently  experienced  in  Victoria,  the  COVID-19  impact  is 
unpredictable with more stringent lockdown measures implemented in Victoria. In the US, each state is determining their own 
management of COVID-19 and are broadly re-opening. This is important to dorsaVi as a significant portion of its  recurring 
revenue is generated in the US market. 

dorsaVi has been focused on four strategic initiatives for FY20: i) growing recognised recurring revenue; ii) reducing cost of 
goods sold); iii) driving operational efficiencies; and iv) innovating product and systems in-line with market and data privacy 
requirements. This typically includes: 

i) Growth in Recognised Recurring Revenue (RRR) 

It is important to acknowledge that while total revenue for FY20 reduced by 19.7% when compared to FY19, recurring revenue 
grew  by  17.4%.  The  Company’s  strategy  to  transition  from  a  heavy  historical  reliance  on  consulting  revenue  to  a  more 
sustainable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) recurring revenue provides some background to this result.  

Our RRR for FY20 (unaudited) was $1.5m, an increase of 17.4% to FY19 ($1.28m). From a workplace product perspective, 
recurring revenue grew 69% on FY19 (increasing from $303k FY19 to $513k FY20). This growth is a direct result of companies 
engaging in dorsaVi’s myViSafe™ product, signing on to utilise the small, wearable sensors and an App-based product that 
allows safety professionals and corporations to manage injuries in a more efficient and engaging way.  

Figure 1: Growth in recurring revenue over the past 4 
years 

The  drivers  for  continued  growth  of  recurring  revenue 
include: aligning pricing models for core products with a 
focus  on  subscription  fees  and  longer  term  contracts; 
continued  focus  on  the  large  US  workplace  and  clinical 
markets; continued engagement of a US based marketing 
agency  to  customise  marketing  initiatives  in  this  growth 
market;  and  the  focus  on  selling  Professional  Suite™ 
(clinical) and myViSafe™ (workplace) products (our SaaS 
style products).  

in  recurring 
the  year-on-year  growth 
Aligned  with 
revenue,  retention  of  our  products  in  the  market  is  an 
important  factor.  Positively,  the  retention  rate  for  our 
products has remained strong during the difficult COVID-
19 environment. The clinical product has a retention rate 
of >80%, while the workplace product’s retention rate has 
maintained a strong >90%.

ii) Reducing Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) 

As recurring revenue increases and operational efficiencies are improved across the business, we will continue to work hard 
to drive the reduction in COGS annually. This will ensure that once dorsaVi reaches a cash neutral position there is a healthy 
margin on our products. Our COGS have reduced from 30.8% in FY17 to 4.8% in FY20, which is an outstanding result, noting 
the  effect  of  COVID-19  in  reducing  the  consulting  revenue  faster  than  anticipated  (which  has  a  higher  COGS  than  our 
subscription revenue products). We anticipate COGS as a percentage of sales would be in the 8-10% range as consulting 
revenue increases coming out of the COVID-19 period. 

Figure 2: Reduction in COGS over the past 4 years 

There  are  four  factors  that  are  driving  the  reduction  in 
COGS  and  each  of 
these  are  sustainable  and 
significantly  improve  the  overall  efficiency  of  dorsaVi’s 
business. The four factors are noted below: 

a)  Transitioning  from  consulting  to  subscription  based 
revenue:  Historically,  the  consulting  projects  for  the 
workplace  market  involve  additional  time  on  site, 
scoping  of  jobs  with  the  customer,  data  analytics  and 
interpretation, and the delivery of the report/solution in a 
workshop. These projects usually have a COGS of 35-
40% and it’s been critical to ensure the value of the data 
and analytics for our customers. The future for dorsaVi 
is being able to hand-over the workplace product to the 

customers, conduct online training with these customers to enable them to use the automated reports. 

b)  App-based  products  produced  at  a  lower  cost:  dorsaVi’s  newer  products  (myViSafe™  for  the  workplace  market  and 
Professional Suite™ for the clinical market) are produced at a lower cost than our previous hardware and software.   

c) More efficient production process: The technical team have created a more efficient and automated calibration process, 
reducing COGS and improving product output. 

d) Online sales and training of customers: Moving our sales and training away from face-to-face to online for both the workplace 
and clinical products, has reduced both travel and HR expenses. This enables our sales and account managers to focus on 
impacting their sales activity. The ability to sell online and to train new customers remotely has significantly improved business 
efficiency. 

iii) Driving Operational Efficiencies 

The Company continues to improve operational efficiency and its goal for FY21 is to continue to drive down operating costs 
by a further 20-40%.  

As  referenced  in  the  Chairman’s  report,  the  Company’s  non-executive directors  accepted  options in  lieu  of directors’  fees 
applicable from 1 March 2019.  

From my own perspective, as CEO of dorsaVi, I have benefited from living in the US over the past 2.5 years. This experience 
has provided the opportunity to build important strategic, sales and investor relationships. During the COVID-19 period, our 
selling moved exclusively to online which will allow me to return to Australia, maintain the critical US relationships and continue 
to sell online into the US and also creates a significant cost saving for the Company. Our team of US based staff will provide 
continuity and resume face-to-face contact with customers once conditions around COVID-19 return to more normal practices.  

Our General Manager has done an outstanding job in relation to reducing operational expenses across the business over the 
past  two  years.  As  an  example,  our  salespeople  work  from  home  in  all  locations.  This  remote  working  environment  has 
eliminated office spend in the UK and US. Matt May has driven positive change in our organisation’s business systems, leading 
to year-on-year improvement.   

From a technical perspective, our Chief Technical Officer has been with the business a little over 2 years and has brought in 
many technical efficiencies that have allowed dorsaVi to reduce the operational costs relating to the technical team and also 
reductions in the subscription and software related costs involved across our business.  

Each of our staff members across the Company have reduced their normal working hours during COVID-19 and the executive 
team  have  taken  significant  salary  reductions  through  this  unprecedented  time.  Other  operational  initiatives  include:  a 
reduction in corporate and marketing overheads  and securing the tenure of a US-based marketing agency to provide more 
customised marketing initiatives to the large US clinical and workplace markets.

iv) Innovate our Products and Systems in-line with Market and Data Privacy Requirements 

One of my important roles whilst living in the US has been to understand the customer needs of our workplace and clinical 
customers. I attended over 10 conferences in the US in the past 2.5 years, was invited to speak at another 4 conferences on 
wearables in the workplace and held a membership role on an advisory council of the National Safety Council, Work to Zero 
initiative. Each of these interactions allowed me to validate, test, iterate and understand in depth what our existing and 
potential customers are looking for in dorsaVi’s next generation product. This helped me understand what features they like, 
those features they did not utilise and, critically, which features they must have going forward. Some of these features were 
already on our product roadmap and others have been incorporated into our plans to ensure our subsequent products meet 
the future needs of all our important customers.  

Financial Summary 

The growth in recurring revenue is significantly longer than the time to secure once-off and consulting revenue. dorsaVi has 
now  built  close  to  a  $1m  base  in  recurring  revenue  from  the  clinical  market  and  over  $500k  of  recurring  revenue  in  the 
workplace (a 69% increase from FY19). This $1.5m base of recurring revenue across the clinical and workplace markets has 
been the Company’s focus and this will continue, noting that 74% of the FY20 revenue was from recurring revenue, increasing 
from 51% in FY19. The focus on recurring revenue has led to a transition away from consulting projects and thus there is a 
short-term reduction in total sales revenue as the recurring revenue base builds. The sales revenue for FY20 was $2,019,220, 
a 19.7% reduction on our FY19 revenue of $2,514,992. 

Figure  3:  Proportion  of  recurring  revenue  versus 
once-off revenue over the past 4 years 

Historically,  when  dorsaVi  secured  a  workplace 
services  contract  valued  at,  say,  $120k,  the  contract 
would be recognised across two quarters ($60k each 
quarter) without any further revenue unless additional 
work was won from the customer.  

With  the  change  to  recurring  revenue,  any  contracts 
won  within  the  same  corporate  group  with  our 
myViSafe™ product, for a 3-year period, in the first two 
quarters  of  this  contract  dorsaVi  will  recognise  $10k 
each  quarter.  The  benefit  is  seen  in  the  longer  term, 
being  able to  recognise  revenue  for  the  next 3 years 
from  this  one  group,  therefore  providing  more  stable 

and predictable revenue growth.  

Total cash expenses reduced from $7.7m FY19 to $5.7m FY20, a reduction of $2m (26%) mainly due to cost reductions and 
operational efficiencies introduced during the year. We believe these reductions in expenses are sustainable and operational 
efficiency and cost reductions continue to be an ongoing focus for the business.  

Our closing cash as at 30 June 2020 was $1.69m, compared to cash at 31 March 2020 of $1.92m.  

dorsaVi’s Workplace Solutions (OHS) 

The growing trend for Workplace conferences to offer entire sessions dedicated to ‘Workplace Wearables’ means our potential 
customers now have a greater understanding of the value of movement or wearable sensors. dorsaVi’s workplace solutions 
sit  in  the  category  of  ergonomic  or  manual  handling  wearables,  aimed  at  understanding  workplace  risk  of  a  task  or  work 
environment with the goal of finding a data driven solution.   

Insurers  and  corporate  groups  are  interested  in  data  insights  to  understand  their  worker’s  risk  profile  and  enable  them  to 
investigate  whether  the  data  driven  solutions  can  solve  their  company’s  manual  handling  injury  problems.  AIG  and  more 
recently  QBE  in  Australia,  are  examples  of  insurers  utilising  dorsaVi’s  workplace  solution  products  to  reduce  risk  in  the 
workplace and improve productivity. Corporate groups also have a strong interest in scalable wearable solutions that they can 
distribute through their workforce. This is particularly relevant given the changes brought about by COVID-19, with corporates 
wanting ‘self-managed’ solutions rather than onsite consulting projects.

Figure  4:  myViSafe™  sensor,  app  and  desktop 
dashboard 

During FY20, the Company signed a number of important 
deals in the workplace market including a new engagement 
with  BHP  Australia  looking  to  understand  exact  risks  on 
their  workers  in  the  mining  sector.  PERMA,  a  New  York 
insurer  have  taken  on  the  myViSafe™  product  to  enable 
their  team  of  ergonomists  to  visit  their  clients  and  place 
sensors  on  their  workers  to  measure,  assess  risk  and 
mitigate their manual handling issues. Northwell Health, a 
large hospital group on the US east coast, have taken on 
myViSafe™  to  mitigate  their  workplace  injuries  amongst 
their healthcare workers. In FY20, VISY Board and Sydney 
Water in Australia have also signed new workplace deals.  

Our  workplace  recurring  revenue  has  remained  solid,  with  the  majority  of  customers  continuing  to  pay  their  monthly 
subscriptions for the use of myViSafe™. This has provided stability in workplace recurring revenue and is part of the reason 
why  the  workplace  recurring  revenue  for  FY20  has  continued  to  increase,  despite  the  COVID-19  economic  impact.  The 
recurring revenue for the workplace market has increased from $303k in FY19 to $513k in FY20, an increase of $210k or 69%.  

Figure 5: dorsaVi’s workplace recurring revenue over the past 3 
years 

dorsaVi  secured  a  new  partnership  in  Q4  with  major  workers 
compensation insurer, QBE Australia, who has pre-allocated $250k in 
funds over an initial 12-month period to enable their customers access 
to dorsaVi’s workplace products.  

Recent market analysis in the US workplace market, suggests there 
are  approximately  230,000  corporates  with  over  100  workers  that 
could utilise dorsaVi’s applications. This equates the total size of the 
direct addressable market to over $2.5B per annum.  

During  COVID-19,  there  has  been  minimal  impact  on  monthly 
workplace subscriptions yet there has been a significant reduction in 
consulting  revenue  as  our  staff  have  not  been  able  to  interact  with 
employees  directly.  Across  both  the  consulting  product  (ViSafe™) 
and the recurring revenue product (myViSafe™), new sales reduced 
significantly in Q3. It has been encouraging to see a return in new sales growth in Q4, albeit below the normal cadence of 
sales. 

dorsaVi Clinical market 

Throughout the clinical market the effect of COVID-19 was more immediate with 10-15% of our clinical customers requesting 
their subscriptions be put on hold. We also saw a reduction in new sales in Q3 and Q4, noting that later in Q4 the clinical sales 
activity started to build again with the clinical recurring revenue for Q4 being $265k, a $36k increase (or 15.7%) on Q3 FY20 
($229k). 

dorsaVi’s new clinical product, the App-based Professional Suite™, has been designed as a ‘set and go’ type of product which 
has a rapid set up time feature (15 seconds to commence a session with patients) and was designed by Physios for Physios. 
It can immediately interpret data and includes a patient App whereby the patient is able to access their reports and exercises 
anywhere. The online sales and training aspect of Professional Suite™ has been critical to its uptick in purchasing by Physios.   

The large clinical franchise groups in the US market continue to be a major strategic opportunity for dorsaVi with many of 
these groups already using dorsaVi’s clinical products. The most popular software module is the Athletic Movement Index 
(AMI), which is a screening and ‘return to play’ tool that is used to assess and manage sports related injuries. Groups like 
Select Medical, Team Rehab, HSS and HSHS are examples of large clinical groups in the US market with dorsaVi’s clinical 
products across multiple sites. 

In the US Physical Therapy (PT) market, there are approximately 105,000 PT clinics that could utilise dorsaVi’s applications. 
Potential revenue generation from each clinic would be $3k per year per dorsaVi kit, noting that many franchise groups require 
multiple dorsaVi kits. This makes the total size of the direct addressable market approximately $500m per annum.

The recurring revenue for the clinical market increased from $978k in FY19 to $991k in FY20, an increase of $13k or 1%, 
noting that Q3 and Q4 were impacted by COVID-19 subscription suspensions and a reduction in new sales. 

In the same clinical market, there are strategic deals which include global medical device companies. As examples of these 
deals, Stryker and Medtronic, are both using dorsaVi’s sensors, algorithms and software to gain new data insights for their 
businesses. The current Stryker project is an extension from the first project which delivered results that were very positive to 
Stryker. The 2nd stage Stryker project is an evaluation agreement in which Stryker’s staff will utilise and evaluate dorsaVi’s 
sensors, algorithms and software to assess patients and share this data with leading clinicians.  

A separate strategic deal was signed with Medtronic who are looking to pilot dorsaVi’s technology for a specific use case in 
the orthopaedics area. Medtronic adds to other global medical device companies, like Stryker and Johnson & Johnson, who 
are choosing dorsaVi’s technology above other technology providers to drive innovation in their businesses. This provides an 
indicative test for dorsaVi, illustrating the technology is market leading.  

In  relation  to  the  size  of  the  opportunity  in  the  orthopaedic  market,  there  are  approximately  1.5  million  hip  and  knee 
replacements performed each year in the US and if every patient undergoing a hip or knee replacement used a sensor kit, this 
would be a market size of over $1.2b per annum.  

dorsaVi’s strength in the clinical market relates to the FDA clearance, clinically validated algorithms, and the traction of current 
products in the US market that generate recurring revenue. We look forward to reporting further progress in the clinical and 
the orthopaedic markets. 

We are excited by the steadily growing base of recurring revenue that is derived from both the workplace and clinical markets 
and will strive to make our business as successful as possible by continuing to innovate, optimise and drive efficiencies across 
our product offerings and business processes to secure new strategic deals in the workplace and the clinical markets. 

We  recognise  that  further  challenges  are  likely  to  arise  as  the  business  works  its  way  through  COVID-19.  We  will  remain 
vigilant on managing these changes to our business and will pro-actively deal with these changes as they arise.

The directors have been in office since the start of the year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated. 

Principal Activities 

The principal activity of dorsaVi Ltd and its controlled entities during the financial year was the development and sale of 
innovative motion analysis technologies.  These technologies are commercialised via license, sale or fixed fee consultancy.  
There has been no significant change in the nature of these activities during the financial year. 

Results 

The consolidated loss from continuing operations, after income tax, attributable to the members of dorsaVi Ltd was 
$7,593,079 (2019: $4,020,751). 

Review of Operations 

The Group consists of four entities: 

1.  dorsaVi Ltd; 
2.  dorsaVi Europe Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated and domiciled in the UK; 
3.  dorsaVi USA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated and domiciled in the US; and 
4.  Australian Workplace Compliance Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary domiciled in Australia. 

As at 30 June 2020, net assets of the Group were $459,029 (2019: $6,989,294). 

Total revenue for the 2020 financial year was $2,397,059 (2019: $3,223,869).  Sales revenue was $2,019,220 (2019: 
$2,514,992). 

Clinical 

Clinical income was $1,125,151 for the 2020 financial year (2019: $1,336,817). 

Workplace 

Workplace income, utilising ViSafe technology, was $894,069 for the 2020 financial year (2019: $956,624). 

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted total sales revenues in the six months to 30 June 2020.  Sales revenues 
for the six months to 30 June 2020 were $860,011 as compared to $1,226,503 for the six months to 30 June 2019. 

Expenditure 

Total expenditure was $10,447,502 for the 2020 financial year (2019: $7,811,269).  The 2020 expenditure includes a 
provision for impairment of intangible assets of $4,018,354 (2019: $nil). 

The Directors have assessed the $4,018,354 carrying value of its Intangible Assets (patents and capitalised development 
expenditure) for impairment based on value in use calculations.  Given the recent change in the Group’s business strategy 
(i.e. transition to a Software as a Service recurring revenue strategy), the Group’s forecasts have been updated based upon 
reasonable and prudent assumptions including growth rates, discount rates and terminal values.  This has resulted in a 
provision for impairment of $4,018,354.

The directors believe that the recurring revenue business strategy will maximise the Group’s growth and financial 
performance prospects, and, should future performance exceed the forecasts, the current impairment provision may be 
reversed in future periods. 

Without the provision for impairment total expenditure for 2020 would have been $6,429,148 (2019: $7,811,269).  This 
reduction of $1,382,121 was largely due to cost control measures undertaken by the Group throughout the financial year 
with employee benefits expense reducing by 24% to $3,040,365 (2019: $3,979,898). 

The material business risks that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of the Group 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 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. 

▪  General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an 
adverse effect on 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.  The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions in the six 
months to 30 June 2020 and is expected to continue to have an economic impact in the near future. 

▪  dorsaVi is not currently profitable.  Proceeds from the initial float 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 Group.  If the commercial roll out is slower or less 
successful than planned, dorsaVi may need to raise additional capital in the future.

The directors have no interests in performance rights.  As approved by shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting 
(AGM), non-executive directors have been progressively granted 12,739,588 options over ordinary shares in dorsaVi Ltd 
over the course of the year ended 30 June 2020 and up to the date of this report.  The details of each non-executive 
director’s entitlement to options granted and a summary of the related terms is included in Table 5 of this report. 

Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers 

The Group has insured its Directors, Secretary and executive officers for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.  Under the 
Group’s Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy, the Group cannot release to any third party or otherwise publish 
details of the nature of the liabilities insured by the policy or the amount of the premium. 

The Group also indemnifies every person who is or has been an officer of the Group against any liability (other than for legal 
costs) incurred by that person as an officer of the Group where the Group requested the officer to accept appointment as 
Director. 

To the extent permitted by law and subject to the restrictions in section 199A and 199B of the Corporations Act 2001, the 
Group indemnifies every person who is or has been an officer of the Group against reasonable legal costs incurred in 
defending an action for a liability incurred by that person as an officer of the Group.  

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. 

Indemnification and Insurance of Auditors 

No indemnities have been given or insurance premiums paid during or since the end of the financial year for any auditors of 
the Group. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Group 

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group. 

Auditor’s Independence Declaration 

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to 
the audit for the financial year is provided with this report. 

Non-audit Services 

Non-audit services were provided by the auditors of entities in the consolidated group during the year, namely Pitcher 
Partners (Melbourne), network firms of Pitcher Partners, and other non-related audit firms, as detailed below.  The directors 
are satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with the general 
standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

▪  All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by dorsaVi Ltd; and 

▪  The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own 
work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for dorsaVi Ltd or any of its related entities, acting as an 
advocate for dorsaVi Ltd or any of its related entities, or jointly sharing risks and rewards in relation to the operations or 
activities of dorsaVi Ltd or any of its related entities.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of 
executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring

The primary responsibility of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to review and recommend to the Board: 

▪  Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices; 
▪  The Executive Director's total remuneration having regard to remuneration and incentive policies; 
▪  The design and total proposed payments from any executive incentive plan and reviewing the performance hurdles for 

any equity-based plan; 

▪  The remuneration and related policies of Non-Executive Directors for serving on the board and any committee (both 

individually and in total); and 

▪  Any other responsibilities as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee or the Board from time to 

time.

Group’s reward framework are to: 

▪  Align remuneration with the Group’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 Group performance and rewards; 
▪  Offer remuneration based on merit and individual skill matching the role requirements with their experience and 

responsibilities; 

▪  Align the interests of executives with shareholders and share the success of the Group with the employees; and

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 and Remuneration Committee, considers the level of remuneration 
required to attract and retain Non-Executive Directors with the necessary skills and experience for the Group’s Board.  This 
remuneration is reviewed with regard to market practice and Non-Executive 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 Group has 
previously 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 Group 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 2020 is 
detailed in Table 1 of this section of the report. 

As approved at the 2019 AGM, Non-Executive Directors were, in lieu of the payment of directors’ fees, granted 12,739,588 
options over ordinary shares.  Refer table 5 below for details of the options granted. 

Executive Remuneration Structure 

The Group provides a remuneration package that incorporates both cash-based remuneration and share-based 
remuneration.  The contracts for service between the Group 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 Executives with 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).  STI and LTI are currently only provided to KMP by way of share-based payments and include no cash 
component. 

Fixed Remuneration 

Objective 

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board and Nomination and Remuneration Committee.  The process consists 
of a review of the Group 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 Group.

Variable Remuneration – Short-Term Incentive (STI) 

Objective 

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

Structure 

Any STI granted depend 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 Group compliance requirements.  These measures were chosen as they represent the key drivers for the short-term 
success of dorsaVi. 

The Group has predetermined benchmarks that must be met in order to trigger STI under the STI scheme.  Either on an 
annual or financial year basis, after consideration of performance against the Key Milestones or KPIs, the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee, in line with their responsibilities determine the amount, if any, of the STI to be awarded to each 
Executive.  This process usually occurs within one month after the trigger date.  Typically, STI awards are made under the 
Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) and are delivered in the form of share options or performance rights.  Each option 
entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary share of dorsaVi Ltd at an exercise price to be determined in accordance with 
the ESOP or by determination by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.  Each performance right vested entitles the 
holder to one fully paid ordinary share of dorsaVi Ltd at $Nil price. 

The annual STI available for executives across the Group are subject to the approval of the Nomination and 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 
Group through the motivation of dorsaVi’s employees; and by allowing dorsaVi’s employees to share in 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 Group.  LTI awards are made under the Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) and are delivered 
in the form of share options, performance rights 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 accordance with the ESOP or by determination by the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee.  Each performance right vested entitles the holder to one fully paid ordinary 
share of dorsaVi Ltd at $Nil price. 

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

Options and performance rights have been granted, under the ESOP.  Refer Table 5 for details of options and performance 
rights granted to Executives under the ESOP. 

Employment Agreements 

The Group has entered into employment agreements with all Executives, including the CEO.  The Group may terminate an 
Executive’s employment agreement by providing written notice or providing payment in lieu of the notice period (based on 
the fixed component of the Executive’s remuneration).  The Group may terminate the contract at any time without notice if 
serious misconduct has occurred. 

The notice periods for key management personnel are as follows:

Relationship between Remuneration and Group Performance 

Remuneration Not Dependent on Satisfaction of Performance Condition 

The non-executive remuneration policy is not directly related to Group 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 Group 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 may include short-term and long-term incentive plans.  Performance-based remuneration granted to key 
management personnel has regard to Group performance over a twelve month to 3-year period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 

NOTE 1:  

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the Group 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 the Corporations Act 
2001, Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other applicable authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (AASB). 

The financial report covers dorsaVi Ltd and controlled entities as a Group. dorsaVi Ltd is a company limited by shares, 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia at: 86 Denmark Street, Kew, Victoria, 3101. 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 directors’ report. 

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards: 

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 and liabilities as described in the accounting policies. 

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements: 

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) 

New and Revised Accounting Standards Effective at 30 June 2020 

The Group has applied all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards that apply to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 July 2019.  AASB 16 Leases was adopted during the year ended 30 June 2019. 

The group has elected to early adopt AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Covid-19-Related 
Rent Concessions in the current reporting period, with effect from 1 July 2019 (the beginning of the current reporting period). 

AASB 2020-4 amends AASB 16 Leases to provide an optional practical expedient to lessees from assessing whether a rent 
concession related to COVID-19 is a lease modification. Lessees can elect to account for such rent concessions in the 
same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. The practical expedient only applies to rent concessions 
occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and only if all the following conditions are met:  

(a) 

the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less 
than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; 

(b)  any reduction in lease payments affects only payments due on or before 30 June 2021; and 

(c) 

there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. 

In accordance with AASB 2020-4, the group has elected to apply the practical expedient not to assess whether rent 
concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications, and to account for any 
changes in lease payments resulting from the rent concessions as if the changes were not lease modifications. Any gains 
arising from COVID-19 related rent concessions are recognised in profit or loss. 

(c) 

Going Concern 

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Group incurred a loss from ordinary activities after 
income tax of $7,593,079 during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: $4,020,751) after providing for the impairment of 
intangible assets of $4,018,354 (2019: $nil). The group had a net decrease in cash of $1,081,131 (2018: decrease 
$1,200,438) after raising additional share capital of $746,760 and issuing convertible notes totalling $1,155,000 before 
costs. As at 30 June 2020, the Group’s current assets exceed current liabilities by $1,675,767 (2019: $2,602,260). 

Throughout the year the Group has continued its strong focus on cost management and creating a sustainable cost base for

the business. There remains an emphasis on expansion into the US market and building annuity revenue streams through 
the launch of Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms. Opportunities for future growth are expected to come from product 
exposure in the US market and the scalability of annuity products. 

COVID-19 had a detrimental effect on the ability to grow revenues in the 2nd half of the year.  Whilst the timing of COVID-
19’s impact remains uncertain, the effect on sales revenue is considered to be temporary.  COVID-19 has also caused the 
company to more aggressively reduce costs than would have otherwise been the case, and the company has also been the 
recipient of various COVID-19 government assistance packages.  The Group is also considering means by which additional 
equity or debt funding may be obtained.  There are inherent uncertainties associated with the forecast assumptions 
regarding the ability to sustain and grow revenues and contain and reduce costs, and ability to obtain additional debt or 
equity funding if required. 

In determining the basis for preparation of the financial report, the Directors have assessed the financial performance, future 
operating plans, financial forecasts, existing financial position and additional funding opportunities potentially available to the 
Group. The Directors believe there are reasonable grounds to expect the Group to be able to continue as a going concern 
for at least 12 months from the date of issue of the financial report, which contemplates continuity of normal business 
activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

As a result of the above, the Directors have concluded that the going concern basis is appropriate. 

Given the circumstances detailed above, there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of 
the Group to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will be able to realise its assets and extinguish its 
liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report. 

(d) 

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements are those of the Group, comprising the financial statements of the parent entity and all 
of the entities which the parent controls.  The Group 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. 

(e) 

Revenue from contracts with customers 

The Group derives revenue from the sale of wearable sensors and software. The devices, when used with Group software, 
allow the accurate measurement of movement at a variety of different places on the human body or the activity of muscles. 

Revenue from integrated sales of devices and software: 

The Group’s contracts with customers are typically integrated and requires the provision of devices and software which is 
not separately identifiable and so is considered a bundle of goods and services.  Revenue from the sale or lease of devices 
and licencing of software is recognised over the licence term. 

Revenue from consulting: 

Revenue from consulting contracts is recognised over time, as the services are provided to the customer, based on service 
hours performed as a percentage of estimated total service hours under the contract.  Recognising revenue on the basis of 
service hours is considered an appropriate method of recognising revenue as it is consistent with the manner in which 
services are provided to the customer. 

Revenue from the sale of consumables: 

The Group sells various consumables goods to customers to support their ongoing use of their wearable sensors.  Revenue 
from the consumables is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which 
generally occurs at the time of delivery.  Customers are, either, required to pay in full for all goods received at the time of 
purchase, or, are invoiced on a monthly basis depending on the contract.  Outstanding invoices are due for payment within 
30 days of the invoice date.  

Consideration included in the measurement of revenue: 

The consideration to be received from customers is generally fixed and based on the customer contract.

dorsaVi Ltd and controlled entities 
ABN: 15 129 742 409 

Receivables from contracts with customers: 

A receivable from a contract with a customer represents the Group’s unconditional right to consideration arising from the 
transfer of goods or services to the customer (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is 
due).  Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables from contracts with customers are measured at amortised cost and are 
tested for impairment. 

Contract assets: 

A contract asset represents the Group’s right to consideration (not being an unconditional right recognised as a receivable) 
in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer.  Contract assets are measured at the amount of 
consideration that the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. 

Contract liabilities: 

A contract liability represents the Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to the customer for which the company has 
received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.  Amounts recorded as contract liabilities 
are subsequently recognised as revenue when the Group transfers the contracted goods or services to the customer. 

(f) 

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. 

(g) 

Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Cost comprises all costs of purchase, cost of 
conversion and other costs incurred in bringing inventories to their present location and condition. 

(h) 

Plant and Equipment 

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

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.

At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets), the company 
recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to 
make lease payments.  

Lease assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any 
lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct 
costs incurred by the company, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the company in dismantling and removing the 
underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the 
terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.  

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability), 
less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

Lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the underlying asset, 
consistent with the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the underlying asset. 

Lease liabilities: 

At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets), the company 
recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to 
make lease payments.  

Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e. the lease payments that are 
unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the 
lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or otherwise using the company’s incremental borrowing rate.  

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of remaining lease payments (i.e. the 
lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss 
(presented as a component of finance costs). Lease liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease terms, changes to 
lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases.  

The group has elected to early adopt AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Covid-19-Related 
Rent Concessions in the current reporting period, with effect from 1 July 2019 (the beginning of the current reporting period). 
Refer Note 1(b) for more detail. 

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an expense when incurred. 

Leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets: 

Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for which a lease asset and 
a lease liability has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

(j) 

Intangibles 

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 10 and 20 years. 

Research: 

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

Development Expenditure: 

Development expenditure encompasses the cost of developing new products including mobile applications, algorithms, 
sensors, hardware and firmware.  Development expenditure is 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. 

(k) 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets 

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 (CGU).  Accordingly, most assets are tested for impairment at the cash-
generating unit level. 

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.

dorsaVi Ltd and controlled entities 
ABN: 15 129 742 409 

An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable 
amount.  The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU 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 in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with the applicable 
Standard.  Impairment losses in respect of CGU’s are allocated first against the carrying amount of any goodwill attributed to 
the CGU with any remaining impairment loss allocated on a pro rata basis to the other assets comprising the relevant CGU. 

(l) 

Income Tax 

Current income tax benefit is the tax receivable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax 
rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Current income tax benefit incudes refundable research and 
development tax offsets. 

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 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 recognises 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. 

(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.

(iii) 

Retirement Benefit Obligations: 

The Group 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 Group 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.  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 Group 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 include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of 
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 

Initial recognition and measurement: 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of 
the asset.   

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the instrument is 
classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are immediately recognised as expenses in 
profit or loss. 

Classification of financial assets: 

Financial assets recognised by the Group are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, 
subject to their classification and whether the Group irrevocably designates the financial asset on initial recognition at fair 
value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI) in accordance with the relevant criteria in AASB 9.  

Financial assets not irrevocably designated on initial recognition at FVtOCI are classified as subsequently measured at 
amortised cost, FVtOCI or fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL) on the basis of both: 
the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets; and 
(a) 
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 
(b) 

Classification of financial liabilities: 

Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, contingent consideration payable by the Group for the acquisition of a 
business, and financial liabilities designated at FVtPL, are subsequently measured at fair value.  

All other financial liabilities recognised by the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Trade and other receivables: 

Trade and other receivables arise from the Group’s transactions with its customers and are normally settled within 30 days.  
Consistent with both the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow 
characteristics of the assets, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Impairment of financial assets: 

The following financial assets are tested for impairment by applying the ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model:

(a) 
(b) 
(c) 

debt instruments measured at amortised cost; 
debt instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income; and  
receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets. 

The Group applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measuring the allowance for credit losses for both receivables 
from contracts with customers and contract assets. Under the AASB 9 simplified approach, the Group determines the 
allowance for credit losses for receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets on the basis of the lifetime 
expected credit losses of the financial asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that are 
expected to result from default events over the expected life of the financial asset.  

For all other financial assets subject to impairment testing, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the 
initial recognition of the financial asset, the allowance for credit losses is recognised on the basis of the lifetime expected 
credit losses. When there has not been an increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the allowance for credit losses is 
recognised on the basis of 12-month expected credit losses. ’12-month expected credit losses’ is the portion of lifetime 
expected credit losses that represent the expected credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that 
are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.  

The Group consider a range of information when assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial 
recognition. This includes such factors as the identification of significant changes in external market indicators of credit risk, 
significant adverse changes in the financial performance or financial position of the counterparty, significant changes in the 
value of collateral, and past due information.  

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition when the 
financial asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting date. The Group considers a financial asset to have a 
low credit risk when the counterparty has an external ‘investment grade’ credit rating (if available) of BBB or higher, or 
otherwise is assessed by the Group to have a strong financial position and no history of past due amounts from previous 
transactions with the Group.  

The Group determines expected credit losses using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss 
experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset as well as current and future expected economic 
conditions relevant to the financial asset. When material, the time value of money is incorporated into the measurement of 
expected credit losses. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the 
reporting period. 

The Group has identified expected credit loss rates for the purpose of measuring expected credit losses. These credit loss 
rates have been selected based on the Group’s historical experience. Because contract assets are directly related to 
unbilled work in progress, contract assets have a similar credit risk profile to receivables from contracts with customers. 
Accordingly, the Group applies the same approach to measuring expected credit losses of receivables from contracts with 
customers as it does to measuring impairment losses on contract assets.  

The measurement of expected credit losses reflects the Group’s ‘expected rate of loss’, which is a product of the probability 
of default and the loss given default, and its ‘exposure at default’, which is typically the carrying amount of the relevant 
asset. Expected credit losses are measured as the difference between all contractual cash flows due and all contractual 
cash flows expected based on the Group’s exposure at default, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest 
rate.  

Financial assets are regarded as ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events have occurred that have a detrimental impact 
on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. Indicators that a financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ include 
observable data about the following: 
(a) 
(b) 
(c) 

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower; 
breach of contract; 
the lender, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, has granted 
concessions to the borrower that the lender would not otherwise consider; or 
it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation. 

(d) 

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (i.e. reduced directly) when the counterparty is in severe 
financial difficulty and the Group has no realistic expectation of recovery of the financial asset. Financial assets written off 
remain subject to enforcement action by the Group. Recoveries, if any, are recognised in profit or loss. 

(p) 

Foreign Currency Translations and Balances 

Functional and Presentation Currency: 

The financial statements of each entity within the Group 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 Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and Balances: 

Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are recognised in the Group’s 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 in the financial year in which they arose. 

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. 

(s) 

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.

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 Group.  Impairment triggers include declining product 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. 

The recoverable amount of a CGU is based on value in use calculations.  The Directors have determined that there is one 
CGU applicable to the cash flows generated.  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 Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be 
realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 

(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 

The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments on the date at which they are granted.  The value of equity instruments granted is determined according to the 
fair value of goods or services received unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case the fair value is 
determined by reference to the underlying value of equity instruments granted.

(a) 

Currency Risk 

The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  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 Group is exposed to foreign currency risk through the operation of wholly owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and 
the United States of America and transactions occurring with countries in currencies that differ to the presentation currency 
of the Group. 

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

The carrying amount of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at reporting date are: 

Current assets

assuming all other variables that might impact on fair value remain constant, then the impact on loss for the year and equity 
is as follows:

(c) 

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

The Group 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 Group 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 and unbilled debtors in relation to accrued income. 

(d) 

Liquidity Risk 

The Group’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 Group has cash reserves and expects to settle all financial liabilities when they fall due. 

(e) 

Fair Value 

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying amounts as disclosed in the

Credit losses: 

The group applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measuring the allowance for credit losses for both receivables 
from contracts with customers and contract assets. Under the AASB 9 simplified approach, the group determines the 
allowance for credit losses for receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets on the basis of the lifetime 
expected credit losses of the instrument. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that are 
expected to result from default events over the expected life of the financial asset. 

The group determines expected credit losses using a provision matrix based on the group’s historical credit loss experience, 
adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset as well as current and future expected economic conditions 
relevant to the financial asset. When material, the time value of money is incorporated into the measurement of expected 
credit losses. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting 
period. 

Life-time expected credit losses - receivables from contracts with customers:

Additions to intangibles during the year related to product that had progressed from the research phase to where it has been 
determined that the product will be developed for progressive release to the market (refer Note 1 (j)).  During the year the 
Group have assessed carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment based on value in use calculations.  Given the 
recent change in the Group’s business strategy (i.e. transition to a SaaS recurring revenue strategy), the Group’s forecasts 
have been updated based upon reasonable and prudent assumptions including growth rates (2.5%), discount rates (16%) 
and terminal values.  This has resulted in a provision for impairment of $4,018,354 in this financial year.  Should future 
performance exceed Group forecasts, the current impairment provision may be reversed in future periods.

In March 2020, the Group entered into a finance facility for the annual insurance liability of dorsaVi Ltd.  The 
facility is repayable monthly over a 10 month period ending in December 2020 at an interest rate of 3.9%. 

Under USA federal government Covid19 relief measures, dorsaVi’s US subsidiary was, on 23 June 2020, 
provided a Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan of US$104,930.  The 
facility is 60 month facility bearing fixed interest at the rate of 1% p.a.  If certain conditions are met, within a 
covered 24 week period commencing 25 June 2020, the SBA may forgive up to 100% of the PPP loan balance 
and associated accrued interest.  Systematic principal and interest payments, on any unforgiven loan balance, 
commence after the amount of loan forgiveness is determined or 9 October 2021 whichever occurs first. 

In December 2019 1,155,000 convertible notes were issued with a face value of $1 each.  The notes will mature 
in December 2022.  Interest is payable at a rate of 10% p.a., monthly in arrears.  As reflected in the above table, 
and, in accordance with Accounting Standards, the convertible notes are considered a financial liability with a 
host debt contract, held at amortised cost, and an embedded derivative liability, held at fair value through the 
profit and loss.  Accordingly, the derivative liability will be revalued at each reporting date. 

Upon maturity the notes will convert into fully paid ordinary shares according to a 40 day VWAP calculation.  In 
accordance with the terms of the note agreement the maximum number of fully paid ordinary shares that can be 
issued will be 38,500,000 and the minimum number will be 16,500,000.

shares held.  At shareholders’ meetings, each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each 
shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. 

Capital Management

maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.  This is achieved through the monitoring of 
historical and forecast performance and cash flows. 

Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) 

The Group continued to offer employee participation in short-term and long-term incentive schemes as part of the 
remuneration packages for the employees of the Group.  Refer to Note 23, Share Based Payments, for detailed disclosures.

Nature and Purpose of Reserves 

The share based payment reserve is used to record the fair value of options and shares issued to employees as part of their 
remuneration.  The balance is transferred to share capital when options are granted, and the balance is transferred to 
retained earnings when options lapse. 

dorsaVi Ltd has monetary items receivable and payable to and from its subsidiaries.  Under AASB 121: The Effects of 
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, these items are reviewed annually.  During the financial year ending 30 June 2020 it 
was determined that these items would be treated as an investment in those foreign operation.  As a result, exchange 
differences on these items are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or 
loss on disposal of the net investment.

In 2013 the Board established an ESOP to facilitate the acquisition of Shares, Options and Performance Rights by those 
employed, or otherwise engaged by, or holding a position of office in, dorsaVi Ltd. 

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 Ltd; 
▪  To create a committed and united purpose between the employees and Directors and dorsaVi Ltd; and 
▪  To add wealth for all shareholders of dorsaVi through the motivation of dorsaVi’s employees and Directors. 

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 Ltd or a subsidiary of dorsaVi Ltd; or 
▪  A Director of dorsaVi Ltd or a subsidiary of dorsaVi Ltd who holds a salaried employment or office in dorsaVi Ltd or a 

subsidiary of dorsaVi Ltd; or 

▪  A contractor engaged by dorsaVi Ltd or a subsidiary of dorsaVi and whom the Group 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 Group’s issued share capital.  
This limit will be maintained unless shareholder approval is subsequently sought to increase this level. 

(b) 

Loan Shares and Options 

The plan allows for dorsaVi to offer employees non-recourse and interest-free loans to acquire fully paid shares.  On 20 
September 2013, the Group’s shareholders approved the giving of such financial assistance.  Loan shares are treated as 
options in accordance with accounting standards. 

Loan 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 Group 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. 

During the year ended 30 June 2020 and to the date of this report no options over ordinary shares or loan shares were 
granted to employees (2019: Nil) and 12,739,588 options over ordinary shares were granted to non-executive directors in 
lieu of the payment of directors’ fees (2019: Nil).  During the year a total of 50,000 options were cancelled (2019: 592,501

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF dorsaVi Ltd 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

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

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of dorsaVi Ltd, is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial

performance for the year then ended; and

(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion 

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

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

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

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report that conditions exist that indicate a material 
uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going 
concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide 
a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter 
Convertible Note Liability 
Refer to Note 15 – Convertible note host debt - $749,862 
Refer to Note 15 – Derivative liability- $709,725 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our procedures included amongst others: 
• Obtaining  an  understanding  of  and  evaluating
the accounting processes and internal controls
relating to convertible notes;

• Reviewing the terms of the Convertible notes;
•

Assessing  the  appropriate  treatment  of  the
Convertible notes in accordance with AASB 9:
Financial Instruments;

• Reviewing  the  external  valuation  obtained  by

the Group;
Evaluating  the  credentials  of  the  external
valuer;
Assessing the appropriateness of the valuation
methodology and inputs utilised by the external
valuer;
Assessing  the  adequacy  of  the  disclosures  in
the financial statements.

The  measurement  of  the  Convertible  notes 
issued during the year is considered a key audit 
matter due to the following: 
•

The  terms  of  the  Convertible  notes  were
assessed as being a financial liability with a
host  debt  contract  held  at  amortised  cost,
and an embedded derivative liability, held at
fair  value  through  the  profit  and  loss.
Accordingly,  the  host  debt  and  derivative
liability components of the Convertible notes
require  valuation  upon  initial  recognition,
and the  derivative  liability is required to be
revalued at each reporting date.  The initial
valuation of the respective components, and
the  subsequent  valuation  of  the  derivative
liability contains complexity.

The  initial  recognition  of  the  host  debt  was 
$687,255  and  the  initial  fair  value  of  the 
derivative liability was $431,574.   The fair value 
adjustment  of  the  derivative  liability  at  balance 
date  was  an  increase  to  $709,725,  with  the 
$278,151 change of fair value being recognised 
as an expense in the profit and loss. 

We focused on the initial recognition of the host 
debt and derivative liability, and subsequent fair 
value  adjustment  of  the  derivative  liability  at 
balance  date  as  a  key  audit  matter  due  to  the 
complexity of the valuations required. 

Other Information 

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

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

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

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF dorsaVi Ltd 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

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

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards,  we  exercise  professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud 
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence 
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve 
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  
•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.  

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If 
we conclude  that a material  uncertainty exists, we are required  to draw attention in  our auditor’s 
report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as 
a going concern.  

•  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a 
manner that achieves fair presentation.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of 
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF dorsaVi Ltd 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions to eliminated threats 
or safeguards applied.  

From  the  matters  communicated  with  the  directors,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most 
significance  in  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  of  the  current  period  and  are  therefore  the  key  audit 
matters.  We  describe  these matters in  our auditor’s report unless law  or regulation  precludes public 
disclosure  about  the  matter  or  when,  in  extremely  rare  circumstances,  we  determine  that  a  matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
