CHAIRMAN and CEO REVIEW 

Dear Shareholders,  

It is our pleasure to present dorsaVi’s FY23 Annual Report. 

While the year has posed unique challenges as interest rates have risen and company spend has reduced, we are proud of 
our team’s focus, discipline, and hard work which has led dorsaVi to achieve several operational milestones. We have not only 
transformed  our product  offerings  but  have  also leveraged cutting  edge  AI  technology  to  revamp  our platform, setting the 
company up for future success. We have further ingrained ourselves with key strategic partners, from both the clinical and 
workplace markets and have importantly maintained our recurring revenue from physical therapists across the USA. We will 
continue to look to grow recurring revenues through our diverse pipeline as it remains a key priority for FY24. We also aim to 
drive greater operating leverage, given our refined and sustainable cost base. Pleasingly, we have continued to employ our 
cost optimisation strategy, and believe we have a sustainable cost base going forward, with sufficient flexibility to drive new 
sales and grow revenue. FY24 aims to be a transformative year as we look to further cement our position as a leader in the 
wearable technology sector. 

We continue to push our sensor technology to the forefront of innovation with a rigorous commitment to product development 
allowing us to stay ahead of industry trends. Our sensor devices and cutting-edge AI powered software platform continue to 
generate interest from potential clients, which we aim to leverage to drive new sales. We remain focused on cultivating our 
strategic partnerships and were pleased to announce the release of a new sensor application co-developed with our long-
standing partner Medtronic. This application is for spinal conditions and comes as the result of our collaboration with Medtronic 
spanning more than two years where our medical grade hardware and proprietary AI algorithms were instrumental in making 
the project possible. We look forward to continuing to co-develop this product through its use in clinical trials and onwards to 
commercialisation.  

In  further  validation  of  our  technology,  we  are  honoured  to  partner  with  the  University  of  Rochester  Medical  Center  to 
commence a clinical project. The project is being led by Assistant Professor and Director Dr. Ram Haddas, a leading expert 
in the spinal motion industry. Our technology will be used alongside the University’s state of the art gait and motion laboratory.  

Our ongoing work with leading clinical and research institutions continues to underpin improvements in our own best-in-class 
product portfolio, as we leverage insights to develop new product releases and upgrades. We were excited to expand our 
library of modules, adding the new “Run Module” to our bestselling ViMove+ product, offering enhanced functionality and value 
to our customer base. The upgrades provide clinicians with the ability to generate and analyse objective, real time data during 
the running motion, to identify biomechanical inefficiencies, assess performance and guide rehabilitation.  

We remain focused on leveraging our strong operating progress and best-in-class products to win more customers and build 
further demand in the workplace market through our relationship with leading insurer, QBE. We have a longstanding contract 
with QBE to deliver ergonomic insights and strategies to limit injuries at work to QBE’s client base. Not only does this provide 
a strong source of revenue, but it also allows us to directly target large scale entities who could directly benefit from our market 
leading technology. This relationship has directly resulted in several new leads, with many more clients in the pipeline. 

Our  customers  are  re-engaging  with  dorsaVi  and  we  are  excited  to  be  working  with  these  top  tier  clients  including  BHP, 
Woolworths, Caterpillar and Boeing who have been excellent customers prior to Covid and have returned to dorsaVi during 
this financial year, seeking data insights and preventative initiatives to reduce the workplace injuries.  

We have successfully reduced our expenses for the third consecutive year. This achievement is a direct outcome of our lean 
management strategy which focused on establishing a lower and sustainable cost base.  

We strengthened our financial position during the year by completing two capital raisings with substantial support from our 
existing shareholders. We consider this a significant endorsement of our strategy and vote of confidence in our ability to grow 
and scale.

On behalf of the Board, we would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support and say thanks to our fellow Board 
members, and the entire dorsaVi team for their outstanding contribution. Moving forward, we believe we are approaching a 
point of inflection; to drive sales growth and generate increased operating leverage in the upcoming financial year, given the 
strength of our product suite. Sincerely, 

Michael Panaccio

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 
$1,820,582 (2022: $1,536,074). 

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 2023, net assets of the Group were $1,678,658 (2022: $1,220,650). 

Total revenue for the 2023 financial year was $2,053,414 (2022: $3,472,871).  Sales revenue was $1,750,317 (2022: 
$2,353,154), a 26% decrease.  Total revenue also included the change in the fair value of the derivative asset included in 
the carrying value of the convertible note of $34,677 (2022: $298,523) and other gains on financial instruments of $186,556 
(2022: $373,113). In the prior year total revenue included the forgiveness, by the US Federal government, of Paycheck 
Protection Program loans of $299,622 (2023: nil). 

Clinical 

Clinical income was $1,050,751 for the 2023 financial year (2022: $1,626,109), a 35% decrease. 

Workplace 

Workplace income, utilising ViSafe technology, was $699,566 for the 2023 financial year (2022: $727,045), a 4% decline. 

Expenditure 

Total expenditure was $4,360,114 for the 2023 financial year (2022: $5,571,208), a decrease of 22% largely due to 
reductions in employee benefits expenses. 

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 markets and therefore dorsaVi’s activities will be affected by currency 
exchange fluctuations. 

  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.

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 are approved by resolution of the audit committee and approval is provided in writing to the board of 
directors. 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 have been 
reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact on the integrity and objectivity of the 
auditor; 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 (including Independence Standards), 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.

Remuneration Policies 

Nomination and Remuneration Committee (N&RC) 

The N&RC of the Board of Directors is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on the remuneration 
arrangements for each Non-Executive Director, Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and each Executive 
reporting to the CEO.  The current members of the N&RC are: Ashraf Attia and Michael Panaccio. 

The N&RC 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 maximum stakeholder benefit from 
the retention of high quality, high performing directors and executive team.  In determining the level and composition of 
executive remuneration, the N&RC may also engage external consultants to provide independent advice. 

The primary responsibility of the N&RC 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 N&RC or the Board from time to time. 

Remuneration Strategy 

The remuneration strategy of dorsaVi Ltd is designed to attract, motivate and retain Employees, Executives and Non-
Executive Directors in Australia, the United States and Europe by identifying and rewarding high performers and recognising 
the contribution of each employee to the continued growth and success of the Group.  To this end, the key objectives of the 
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 
  Support the corporate mission statement, values and policies through the approach to recruiting, organizing 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 N&RC, 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 2023 is 
detailed in table 1 of this section of the report. 

As approved at the 2022 AGM, Non-Executive Directors were, in lieu of the payment of directors’ fees, during the year 
ended 30 June 2023 granted 10,307,154 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 N&RC.  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.

ABN: 15 129 742 409 

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 N&RC, 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 
N&RC.  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 N&RC. 

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 N&RC.  
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 N&RC 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.

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 2023 

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: Unit 3, 11-13 Milgate Street, Oakleigh South, Victoria, 3167. 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 2023 

The Group has applied all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards that apply to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 July 2022.  The impact of the application of these accounting standards was not material. 

(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 $1,820,582 during the year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: $1,536,074). The group had a net increase in cash of 
$429,023 (2022: decrease $2,346,474). As at 30 June 2023, the Group’s current assets exceed current liabilities by 
$1,548,516 (2022: $995,575). 

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.  It is acknowledged 
however that there are uncertainties associated with the forecast assumptions regarding the ability to maintain and grow 
revenues, contain and further reduce costs, and the ability to obtain additional debt or equity funding if required. 

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.

dorsaVi Ltd and controlled entities 
ABN: 15 129 742 409 

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. 

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.  

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. 

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.

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) 

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. 

(c) 

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.

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks comprising currency risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. 

(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 
Current liabilities

If foreign exchange rates were to increase/decrease by 10% from rates used in the profit or loss during the financial year, 
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: 

+/- 10%

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of 
changes in market interest rates.

No other financial assets or financial liabilities are expected to be exposed to interest rate risk.  There are no variable 
interest borrowings in the Group.  The Group is exposed to variable interest cash and cash deposits held; however, 
fluctuations due to interest rates are considered immaterial.

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

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 
consolidated statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Group recovered the majority of the 2022 contract assets within the 2023 year and expects the 2023 balance to be 
settled within 12 months. 

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: 

Loss allowance at 1 July 
Net remeasurement of loss allowance 
Amounts written off 

Loss allowance at 30 June

During the year ended 30 June 2020 the Group assessed carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment based on 
value in use calculations.  This arose due to a change in the Group’s business strategy during that year (i.e. the transition to 
a SaaS recurring revenue strategy), the Group’s forecasts were updated based upon reasonable and prudent assumptions 
including growth rates (2.5%), discount rates (16%) and terminal values.  This resulted in a provision for impairment of 
$4,018,354 in the year ended 30 June 2020.  Development expenditure incurred during the year ended 30 June 2023 has 
been fully expensed.  Should future performance exceed Group forecasts, the current impairment provision may be reversed 
in future periods.

In March 2023, the Group entered into secured loan facility of $200,000 at an annualised interest rate of 16% and 
repayable on the earlier of the receipt of the R&D tax rebate or 30 November 2023.  The loan is secured against 
the Group’s 2023 R&D tax rebate. 

In March 2023, 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 2023 at an interest rate of 6.4%.  A 
similar finance facility was in place in the prior year. 

In December 2019 1,155,000 convertible notes were issued with a face value of $1 each.  The notes matured in 
December 2022.  Interest was 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 were considered a financial liability with a 
host debt contract, held at amortised cost, and an embedded derivative asset, held at fair value through the profit 
and loss.  Accordingly, the derivative asset was revalued at each reporting date. 

Upon maturity the notes converted into fully paid ordinary shares according to a 40 day VWAP calculation.  In 
accordance with the terms of the note agreement the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued were 
38,500,000.

shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

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

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 operations.  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.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 

(a) 

Employee Shares 

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.

For the years ended 30 June 2023 and 2022, management has differentiated operating segments based on product. 

The Group’s chief operating decision maker has identified the following reportable segments: 

  Segment 1: Clinical; 
  Segment 2: Workplace 

The operating segments have been identified based on internal reports reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision 
makers in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance.  Assets and liabilities are reported to 
management on a consolidated basis. 

(b) 

Segment Information 

The Group’s chief operating decision maker’s use segment revenue and segment result to assess the financial performance 
of each operating segment. 

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

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  2023,  the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes 
to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ 
declaration.  

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

(a) 

(b) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and  
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  the  Financial 
Report  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF dorsaVi Ltd 

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 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

Revenue Recognition 
Refer to Note 4 – Revenue - $2,053,414 
The  Group’s  revenue  of  $2,053,414  (2022: 
$3,472,871)  is  derived  from  clinical  revenue, 
workplace revenue and other income.  

We  focused  on  the  existence  and  accuracy  of 
recognition of revenue as a key audit matter as 
these are a key contributor to the determination 
of  profit  and  loss,  and  judgement  is  required  in 
assessing  revenue  recognition  and  associated 
accrued  or  deferred  revenue  (contract  assets 
and contract liabilities) in accordance with AASB 
15 Revenue from contracts with customers.  

Our procedures included amongst others: 
•  Understanding  and  evaluating  the  design 
and  implementation  of  the  Group’s  controls 
and processes for recognising and recording 
revenue transactions. 

•  Testing  a 

sample  of  managements 
recognised,  accrued  and  deferred  revenue 
recognition  calculations,  including  review  of 
terms  and  conditions  of  relevant  customer 
contracts.  

•  Testing existence of revenue transactions to 

supporting documentation. 

•  Testing  general  journal  entries  impacting 

revenue. 

•  Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in 

the financial statements.  

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

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 2023, 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 ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF dorsaVi Ltd 

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business  activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

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.  

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 taken to eliminate 
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.  

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report  

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 14 to 22 of the directors’ report for the

30 June 2023, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express
