EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022Letter From 
The Chairman

Our mission to create a more effi  cient
system of drug development, powered 
by Real-World Data created with 
patients at our clinics, is coming to 
fruition in remarkable ways.

submitting for Australian registration and 
further global commercialisation plans 
are underway. We also have a second 
Ultra-Pure CBD capsule (EMD-RX7) 
progressing down the same path in 
FY23 and more on the way. 

EMD-RX5 PHASE 1 
OTC Capsule shows strong results 
Vs. globally registered Epidyolex®

Last year, we initiated a New Drug 
Development (NDD) Program by 
entering into a partnership with the 
University of Western Australia. 

We expanded our partnership with 
UWA in May 2022 and are excited 
about the possibilities it presents in 
the years to come.

In less than eight months, we have 
developed a proprietary, Ultra-Pure 
CBD capsule (EMD-RX5) and 
demonstrated its safety, tolerability 
and performance compared to the 
leading registered CBD medication 
in the world (Epidyolex®).

EMD-RX5 will enter Phase Three 
clinical trials in FY22/23 before 

Our goal is to develop MDMA 
analogues that can be developed into 
next-generation psychedelic-assisted 
therapies for severe mental health 
disorders and treatments for other 
neurological disorders.

So far, our NDD program has created 
and successfully screened over 120 
compounds, that are poised for further 
pre clinical studies. 

As always, the milestones of the 
last twelve months have been guided 
by strategic and sustainable 
corporate governance.

Step closer to pre clinical 
studies with our MDMA
analogue program

“ ... setting up FY23 to be the most exciting and 
momentous year ahead in Emyria’s history as we 
establish ourselves as a product company...”

Emyria bolstered its board and 
international reach by adding global 
bio-pharmaceutical expert Dr Karen 
Smith to our board, and in the same 
month, we welcomed Tattarang as a 
strategic corporate investor who has 
shown great support for our future vision.

Our trial partners, CMAX and Clinitrials, 
have helped us guide EMD-RX5 on its 
path to registration. These partnerships 
are recognition of Emyria’s growing 
infl uence in the biotech industry, as is 
our growing media presence, which 
included the ABC, West Australian, 
Sydney Morning Herald, Australian 
Financial Review, and many more in 
the last year.

FY21 represented the building of a 
foundation - the establishment of 
a data-forward clinical service that 
learns from every patient.

In FY22, we added world-class drug 
development capabilities, setting 
FY23 up to be the most exciting and 
momentous year in Emyria’s history. 

Particularly as we establish ourselves 
as a product company with multiple 
clinical programs, a deep pipeline and 
one of the most robust Real-World 
Data assets globally. 

Importantly, all this growth is in 
service of our ultimate goal – 
to help those with unmet needs.

There are millions of people around 
the world that suff er from conditions 
without accessible treatments. 

Everything we do – our clinics, our 
data programs, our drug development 
and remote monitoring programs – 
aims to improve those patients’ lives. 
It’s a goal we share with you, our 
valued shareholders, and we cannot 
thank you enough.

WHAT are 

EMYRIA’S  DRUG 

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

?

Emyria’s pace of drug development is unusually quick. 

It demonstrates the eff ectiveness of the unique harmony between 
our clinics, our Real-World Data and our drug development programs. 

Our focus is to create innovative forms of existing treatments where evidence 
is lacking, like Ultra-Pure cannabinoids. And to develop new drugs inspired by 
promising compounds like MDMA. 

This isn’t just a short-term advantage. 
Our distinct capabilities allow us to provide personalised care for patients and 
rapidly develop new technologies and treatments with the potential to help 
address major unmet medical needs.

It’s a tremendously exciting prospect.

COMMENCING 
HUMAN TRIALS

EMD-RX5 
Phase One 
Clinical Trial

Emyria’s Phase One clinical trial tested our fi rst Ultra-Pure 
CBD capsule, EMD-RX5, against Epidyolex® oil to see how 
it measured up in terms of safety, bio availability and drug 
delivery profi le.

We picked Epidyolex® because it is the only CBD medicine 
in the world that’s achieved registration in Europe, the USA 
and Australia (via EMA, FDA and TGA). 

Backed by years of development and hundreds of millions 
of dollars, Epidyolex® has changed the lives of thousands 
of patients. 

An achievement recognised in 2021 with a US $7.2 billion 
acquisition by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

It’s the standard we want EMD-RX5 to meet, and it’s why 
the Phase One trial results were so exciting.

Testing our capsule against the only FDA-registered CBD oil 
ensures that Emyria’s drug development program is well set 
to obtain multiple global registrations. And be the fi rst of 
its kind in capsule form. 

EMD-RX5 passed its fi rst test with fl ying colours.

Hours after taking dose

The results demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability, statistically equivalent bio availability to Epidyolex®, higher drug 
levels 3-8 hours after dosing and less variability in dose between patients, which should enable doctors and patients to use 
it with confi dence. 

And as a capsule, it will be more convenient for patients and doctors alike, with improvements in dosing profi le, consistency 
and measurement.

Now, it’s on to Phase Three, with the ultimate goal of global registration as an over-the-counter medication.

WHY   EMYRIA’S ULTRA-PURE CBD  
KEY TO SUSTAINABLE  ?

CANNABIS-BASED TREATMENTS

CBD is promising as a medical 
treatment globally for conditions such 
as chronic pain, psychological distress, 
gut health conditions and autism.

And while the interest in CBD as a 
therapeutic treatment increases, the 
reliability and environmental impact of 
growing and manufacturing plant CBD 
show negative factors.

That’s where Ultra-Pure CBD comes 
in. Ultra-Pure CBD is made in a lab 
rather than developed from plants 
grown outdoors or in greenhouses. That 
process ensures pharmaceutical-grade 

purity and is much less demanding on 
the environment than traditional ways 
of growing cannabis plants. 

It involves techniques such as microbial 
fermentation, molecular biology and 
genetic engineering. 

While developing rapidly, this 
technology is still new – and how it is 
harnessed is quite remarkable.

Long-term, it also means producing 
these medicines is more sustainable.

Plant-grown CBD requires 44 times 
as much CO2 emissions and 
333 times more water to produce[1]. 

The bio synthesis process of Ultra-Pure 
CBD is a more sustainable approach, 
using renewable sources to produce 
medicines (as well as many other 
products) rather than fossil fuels.

Ultra-Pure CBD not only has enormous potential for medical treatments - where it can provide the gold standard in 
predictable and reliable purity, but Ultra-Pure CBD can also dramatically reduce the cost to the environment.

By ensuring we manufacture these treatments in the most environmentally friendly way possible, we also help preserve our 
precious environment and the plants with medicinal benefi ts to share.

NEW DRUG DISCOVERY

EXTENDING THE 
POTENTIAL OF MDMA 

with 

Emyria and its partner, the University of Western Australia 
(UWA), agreed to substantially expand their collaboration 
to develop novel medicines inspired by MDMA (MDMA 
analogues) with the potential to become treatments for 
unmet medical needs.

The Program, “New Drug Discovery” (NDD), starting 
with MDMA analogues, is a key pillar of Emyria’s drug 
development strategy. 

To date, the NDD Program has successfully screened 125 
analogues. Several show potential as next-generation 
psychedelic-assisted therapeutics or new treatments for 
neurological and non-neurological conditions.

The most promising analogues are now being prepared 
for pre clinical testing to further evaluate their 
therapeutic potential.

“Emyria’s clinical development expertise, 
funding and international networks have 
taken our MDMA analogue research to 
the next level.

We have already identifi ed hits for 
new disease indications as a result of 
the screening program this collaboration 
has enabled. 

We are excited at the prospect of 
translating these fi ndings to the 
clinic, where they can improve quality 
of life for patients with unmet needs.” 

- UWA Professor Matt Piggott

Each patient’s story is unique and holds 

the potential to help other patients like them.

BOOSTING EMYRIA’S 
REAL WORLD EVIDENCE (RWE) 

Each patient’s story is unique and 
holds the potential to help other 
patients like them. It leads Emyria 
to continue investing in building 
world-class data gathering and 
analysis capabilities. 

The robust and ethically-sourced data 
we gather with our patients guide our 
personalised care programs and our 
growing drug development strategy.

The unique Real-World Data asset 
we are building involves remote 
monitoring and analysis.

must be more than just a symptom 
tracker (and there are many of those 
on the market).

REMOTE MONITORING is the 
collection of clinically meaningful 
data by remote means (i.e. telephone 
call or video chat) to monitor the 
patient’s condition and identify if 
intervention is necessary. But to be 
truly eff ective, a successful system 

By incorporating physiological 
measurements into the remotely 
monitored data, we can greatly 
increase the clinical data received 
by doctors and the quality of patient 
care, which in turn benefi ts the health 
care system more broadly.

To extend our remote monitoring 
capabilities, Emyria has developed 
a smartphone-powered remote 
monitoring app - Openly - with our 
global partners. It is now registered as 
a Class IIA Medical Device. 

We are also working with Cydelic to 
enable continuous biometric monitoring.

Emyria is among a few companies 
selected by global data analytics 
company Palantir to join its Foundry (PF) 
for Builders program. 

With PF, Emyria has access to advanced, 
highly secure data integration and 
analysis capabilities usually reserved 
for Fortune 200 companies. 

PF also allows Emyria to bring multiple 
data streams together and rapidly 
discover new clinical insights to guide 
care delivery and drug development.

Openly is a Registered & Approved 
Class IIA Medical Device (TGA) and
Recognised among the Best 2022 innovations in Australia

IMPROVE TREATMENT 
DEVELOPMENT

?

Real time 
Insights 

Everyday 
People

Accelerating 
Approval

The history of pharmaceutical 
development is littered with 
examples of treatments that 
showed promise under short 
clinical trials but revealed 
themselves to have longer 
term side eff ects. 

By monitoring patients over a 
more extended period as part of a 
new standard of care, Real-World 
Data (RWD) is more likely to 
capture those problems before a 
medicine is widely available.

All participants, whether patients 
or trial staff , must follow a strict 
protocol in clinical trials. 

This may mean the trial is doing 
things that are not common 
or refl ective of how medicine is 
typically practiced and can aff ect the 
general visability of trial results.

By gathering RWD with patients at 
the front line of care, we can help 
ensure that any benefi ts we are 
seeing from the new treatments 
we are developing are more 
likely to translate.

Major regulators worldwide, like 
the FDA (USA), have specifi cally 
created incentives for drug 
developers to incorporate RWD 
into their drug development 
programs. 78% of new drug 
approvals to the FDA now 
incorporate RWD [1].

We believe Emyria’s unique RWD 
will help us bring new registered 
treatments to patients sooner.

Daniel’s mum Liz describes the impact 

of the medication as ‘life-changing’.

CBD - BRINGING HOPE TO 
FAMILIES LIVING WITH AUTISM

Just before his second birthday, Daniel* 
was diagnosed with a severe case of 
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Fast forward into adolescence, he’s 
188 cm and 119 kilos, unable to 
shower, feed or dress. He experiences 
hot sweats frequently and has 
diffi  culty sleeping. Medication has 

been a challenging, frustrating 
process of trial and error that’s taken 
an emotional, physical and fi nancial 
toll on his whole family.

“Even when medications worked, 
they only seemed to work 
for a little while,”
says Daniel’s mum, Liz*. 

Recently, Liz discovered a study 
investigating tolerance responses 
involving two low-dose medicinal 
cannabis products with diff erent 
THC: CBD ratios in people with ASD.

Daniel qualifi ed for the study and 
is now getting the balance of his 
medication right.

*Names changed to protect privacy

“For the fi rst time in his life, Daniel says he loves me 
regularly. That wasn’t possible just a few months ago. 

It has changed our lives and had a massive impact 
in such a short time.”

- Liz, Daniel’s Mum

Liz describes the impact of the 
medication as ‘life-changing’. She 
noticed a ‘softening’ in her son’s 
character and a feeling of renewed 
safety in his presence.

“For the fi rst time in 16 years, I’ve been 
able to comfortably sit with my child 
and build a connection with him.”

Today, Daniel safely engages with 
peers at his school for short periods. 
For the fi rst time, he’s developing 
friendships and participating in 
activities such as passing balls, 
blowing bubbles and dancing. 

The positive eff ect has been incredibly 
touching for his parents and the school.

in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures) (“KMP”) 
remuneration arrangements for the Group, in 
accordance with the requirements of the section 308 
(3c) of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

The KMP covered in this remuneration report are:

Dr Stewart Washer  
Executive Chairman

Dr Michael Winlo  
Managing Director 

Professor Alistair Vickery  
Executive Medical Director

Karen Smith 
Executive Director (appointed 29 November 2021)

Su-Mei Sain 
Chief Financial Officer (resigned effective 9 July 2021)

The principles adopted have been approved by the 
Board and have been set out in this Remuneration 
Report. This audited Remuneration Report is set out 
under the following main headings:

1.  Principles used to determine the nature  

and amount of remuneration

2.  Details of remuneration

3.  Service agreements

4.  Share-based compensation

The information provided under headings 1 to 4 above 
includes remuneration disclosures that are required under 
Accounting Standard AASB 124, Related Party Disclosures.

1. Principles used to determine the nature  
and amount of remuneration 

The objective of the Group’s executive reward 
framework is to ensure reward for performance is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 

The framework which has been set out in detail under 
the remuneration structure in this Remuneration Report 
aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic 
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, 
and conforms to markets best practice for delivery 
of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward 
satisfies the following key criteria for good reward 
governance practices:

(i)  competitiveness and reasonableness;

(ii)  aligns shareholders and executive interests;

(iii)  performance based and aligned to the successful 
achievement of strategic and tactical business 
objectives; and

(iv)  transparency. 

Executive Directors

Remuneration to Executive Directors reflects the 
demands which are made on, and the responsibilities 
of, the Executive Directors. Executive Directors’ 
remuneration is reviewed to ensure it is appropriate and 
in line with the market. Other than notice periods, there 
are no other benefits paid to Executive Directors other 
than superannuation guarantee amounts as required.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has 
four components:

(i)  base pay;

(ii)  cash bonus;

(iii)  share-based payments; and

(iii)  other remuneration such as superannuation and 

long service leave.

The combination of these comprises the Executive 
Director’s total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary and 
superannuation will be reviewed annually by the 
board, based on individual contribution to corporate 
performance and the overall relative position of the 
Group to its market peers.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202222

Directors’ Report

Non - Executive Directors
Remuneration to Non-Executive Directors reflects the 
demands which are made on, and the responsibilities 
of, the Non-Executive Directors.  

The LTI is provided as options over ordinary shares of 
the Group under the rules of the Securities Incentive 
Plan. During the year ended 30 June 2022, there were 
no options issued to KMP’s,

The maximum aggregate for remuneration of Non-
Executive Directors is set by shareholders and is 
currently $500,000. For the year ended 30 June 2022, 
exclusive of superannuation guarantee the annual cash 
remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors was 
$50,000 per annum each.

Group performance, shareholder wealth and 
directors’ and executives’ remuneration

As an early-stage drug development company, the 
Board does not consider the operating loss after tax as 
one of the performance indicators when implementing 
an incentive-based remuneration policy. 

Short-term incentives

The Company’s approach in regard to the use of  
short-term cash incentives will be assessed by the 
board on an ongoing basis as the Company evolves.

Long-term incentives

To align the board and management with shareholders’ 
interests and with market practices of peer companies 
and to provide a competitive total remuneration 
package, the Board introduced a long-term incentive 
(“LTI”) plan to motivate and reward Executives and 
Non-Executive Directors. 

The board considers that identification and securing 
of new business growth opportunities, the securing of 
funding arrangements and responsible management 
of cash resources and the Group’s other assets as more 
appropriate performance indicators to assess the 
performance of management.

No relationship exists between shareholder 
wealth, director and executive remuneration and 
Group performance as it is an early-stage drug 
development company.

The table below shows the losses and earnings per share of the Group for the current and last three financial years.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022 
 
36

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Emyria Limited (“Emyria” or “the Company”) is a Company 
incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded 
on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).  

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as 
at and for the year ended 30 June 2022 comprise the 
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 
the “Group” or “consolidated entity” and individually as 
a “Group entity”).

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, 
Emyria Limited, have not been presented with this 
financial report.  Summary parent information has been 
included in note 18.

Note 1: statement of significant  
accounting policies

1.1  Basis of Preparation

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

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting 
policies that the AASB has concluded would result in 
a financial report containing relevant and reliable 
information about transactions, events and conditions 
to which they apply. 

The consolidated financial statements and notes 
also comply with International Financial Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting 
Standard Board (IASB). Material accounting policies 
adopted in the preparation of this financial report are 
presented below. 

They have been consistently applied unless 
otherwise stated.

The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting 
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.  
The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates 
the continuity of normal business activities and the 
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in 
the ordinary course of business.

The financial statements are presented in Australian 
Dollars (“AUD”).

(i)  Historical cost convention

The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared under the historical cost convention, except 
for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial 
assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss, investment properties, certain 
classes of property, plant and equipment and 
derivative financial instruments.

(ii)  Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It 
also requires management to exercise its judgement 
in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s 
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher 
degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where 
assumptions and estimates are significant to the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 1.1(vi).

(iii)  Operating segments

Operating segments are presented using the 
‘management approach’, where the information 
presented is on the same basis as the internal reports 
provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers 
(‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation 
of resources to operating segments and assessing 
their performance.

(iv)  Going Concern

As of 30 June 2022, the Group had net working capital 
surplus of $2,657,468 (2021: $5,851,657) and cash 
balance of $3,879,469 (2021: $6,528,926).   
The Group had agreed to provide an additional 
$450,000 to the University of Western Australia to 
expand the MDMA analogue program.

Besides the above, the Group did not have any further 
capital commitments as of 30 June 2022.

The Directors have prepared projected cash flow 
information for the twelve months from the date of 
approval of these financial statements taking into 
consideration the estimation of the continued business 
impacts of COVID-19. 

In response to the uncertainty arising from this, 
the Directors have considered severe but plausible 
downside forecast scenarios.

These forecasts indicate that, taking account of 
reasonably possible downsides, the Group is expected 
to continue to operate, with headroom and within 
available cash levels.  

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202237

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Key to the forecasts are relevant assumptions regarding 
the business, business model, any legal or regulatory 
restrictions and shareholder support, in particular:

•  Details of the results of the key scenario modelling 

on the entity’s ability to meet its obligations over 
the forecast period.

•  Mitigating actions undertaken or planned by 

directors and group to manage and respond to 
cash flow uncertainties or potential risks of shortfall 
in financing and the implementation status and 
uncertainties that arise from them.

The Directors secured a loan facility with Radium 
Capital for $800,000 in July 2022 secured against 
expected R&D Tax Incentive claim. At the date of this 
report, the Company has drawn down the full amount 
of the facility.

The Directors are satisfied they will be able to raise 
additional funds as required and thus it is appropriate 
to prepare the financial statements on a going concern 
basis.  Despite COVID-19 affecting socio-economic 
factors in Australia and worldwide, the Group’s clinic 
operations and collection of insights had not been 
drastically impacted. 

The Directors are confident that the operations of 
the Group will continue to grow with the assistance of 
raising additional funds.  

If necessary, the Group can delay research and 
development expenditures and Directors can also 
institute cost saving measures to further reduce 
corporate and administrative costs or explore other 
opportunities to sell data and/or its clinics. 

 In the event that the Group is unable to obtain 
sufficient funding for ongoing operating and capital 
requirements, there is a material uncertainty that may 
cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will 
continue as a going concern and therefore proceed 
with realising its assets and discharging its liabilities in 
the normal course of business at the amounts stated in 
the financial report.  

The consolidated financial statements do not include 
any adjustment relating to the recoverability or 
classification of recorded asset amounts or to the 
amounts or classification of liabilities that may be 
necessary should the Group not be able to continue as 
a going concern.

(v)  New and amended standards  
adopted by the Group

AASB 2021-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions 
beyond 30 June 2021 

The Group has applied AASB 2021-3: Amendments 
to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-
Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021  
this reporting period.

The amendment amends AASB 16 to extend by one 
year, the application of the practical expedient added 
to AASB 16 by AASB 2020-4: Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent 
Concessions. The practical expedient permits lessees not 
to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct 
consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet 
specified conditions are lease modifications and instead, 
to account for those rent concessions as if they were 
not lease modifications. The amendment has not had a 
material impact on the Group’s financial statements. 

AASB 2020-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2

The Group has applied AASB 2020-8 which amends 
various standards to help listed entities to provide 
financial statement users with useful information about 
the effects of the interest rate benchmark reform on 
those entities’ financial statements. As a result of these 
amendments, an entity:

•  will not have to derecognise or adjust the carrying 

amount of financial statements for changes 
required by the reform, but will instead update the 
effective interest rate to reflect the change to the 
alternative benchmark rate;

•  will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting 
solely because it makes changes required by the 
reform, if the hedge meets other hedge accounting 
criteria; and

•  will be required to disclose information about new 

risks arising from the reform and how it manages 
the transition to alternative benchmark rates. The 
amendment has not had a material impact on the 
Group’s financials

For the year ended 30 June 2022

(vi)  Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements requires management to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect 
the reported amounts in the financial statements. 
Management continually evaluates its judgements and 
estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent 
liabilities, revenue and expenses. 

Management bases its judgements, estimates and 
assumptions on historical experience and on other 
various factors, including expectations of future events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and 
estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. 

The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have 
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to 
the respective notes) within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled 
transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. 
The fair value is determined by using the Black-
Scholes model taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 
The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to 
equity-settled share-based payments would have no 
impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
within the next annual reporting period but may 
impact profit or loss and equity.  Refer to note 12.

Provision for impairment of receivables

Included in trade and other receivables at the end of 
the reporting period is an amount of $nil (2021: $12,523) 
that is outstanding for more than 30 days. While there 
is inherent uncertainty, the directors understand that 
the full amount of debt is likely to be received and 
therefore no provision for impairment has been made.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset 
or cash generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable 
amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of 
disposal and its value in use. 

The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based 
on available data from binding sales transactions, 
conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets or 
observable market prices less incremental costs for 
disposing of the asset.

The value in use calculation is based on a Discount 
Cash Flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived 
from the budget for the next five years and do not 
include restructuring activities that the Group is not 
yet committed to or significant future investments 
that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU 
being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to 
the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the 
expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used 
for extrapolation purposes.

Capitalisation of internally developed  
project development

Distinguishing the research and development phases of 
a new project development and determining whether 
the recognition requirements for the capitalisation 
of development costs are met requires judgement. 
After capitalisation, management monitors whether 
the recognition requirements continue to be met and 
whether there are any indicators that capitalised costs 
may be impaired.

Determining the lease term of contract with renewal 
and termination options – Group as lessee 
The Group determines the lease term as the non-
cancellable term of the lease, together with any 
periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it 
is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods 
covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is 
reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group has a 
lease contract that includes an extension option. 

The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether 
it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise 
the option to renew the lease. That is, it considers all 
relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it 
to exercise the renewal. 

After the commencement date, the Group reassesses 
the lease term if there is a significant event or change 
in circumstances that is within its control and affects 
its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to 
renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant 
leasehold improvements or significant customisation to 
the leased asset).

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202239

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the 
impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic 
has had, or may have, on the Group based on known 
information. This consideration extends to the nature 
of the products and services offered, customers, supply 
chain and staffing. 

Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does 
not currently appear to be either any significant 
impact upon the financial statements or any significant 
uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which 
may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting 
date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus 
(COVID-19) pandemic.

(vii) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the 
assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by 
Emyria at the end of the reporting year. A controlled 
entity is any entity over which Emyria has the ability 
and right to govern the financial and operating policies 
so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the 
Group during the year, the financial performance of 
those entities is included only for the period of the year 
that they were controlled.  A list of controlled entities is 
contained in note 23 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all 
intragroup balances and transactions between entities 
in the consolidated Group have been eliminated in full 
on consolidation.

(viii) New and Amended Accounting Policies Not Yet 
Adopted by the Group/Company

AASB 2020-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current  
or Non-current

The amendment amends AASB 101 to clarify whether 
a liability should be presented as current or non-
current. The Group plans on adopting the amendment 
for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The 
amendment is not expected to have a material impact 
on the financial statements once adopted.

AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and 
Other Amendments

AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and 
Other Amendments is an omnibus standard that 
amends AASB 1, AASB 3, AASB 9, AASB 116, AASB 137 and 
AASB 141. The Group plans on adopting the amendment 
for the reporting period ending 30 June 2023. The 
impact of the initial application is not yet known.

AASB 2021-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and 
Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendment amends AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 
108, AASB 134 and AASB Practice Statement 2. These 
amendments arise from the issuance by the IASB of the 
following International Financial Reporting Standards: 
Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 
1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) and Definition of 
Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8).

The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the 
reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The impact of 
the initial application is not yet known.

AASB 2021-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and 
Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendment amends the initial recognition 
exemption in AASB 112: Income Taxes such that it is not 
applicable to leases and decommissioning obligations 
– transactions for which companies recognise both an 
asset and liability and that give rise to equal taxable 
and deductible temporary differences. The Group 
plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting 
period ending 30 June 2024. The impact of the initial 
application is not yet known.

Note 2: Significant accounting policies

(i)  Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of 
the Group’s entities are measured using the currency 
of the primary economic environment in which the 
entity operates (“the functional currency”).  The 
consolidated financial statements are presented in the 
Australian dollar ($), which is the Group’s functional and 
presentation currency.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022 
40

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the 
functional currency using the exchange rates at the 
dates of the transactions.  Foreign exchange gains 
and losses resulting from the settlement of such 
transactions and from the translation of monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in 
profit or loss.  They are deferred in equity if they relate 
to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net 
investment hedges or are attributable to part of the 
net investment in a foreign operation. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to 
borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or 
loss, within finance costs.  All other foreign exchange 
gains and losses are presented in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other 
income or other expenses. 

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in 
a foreign currency are translated using the exchanges 
rates at the date when the fair value was determined.  
Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried 
at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain 
or loss. For example, translation difference on non-
monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held 
at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in 
profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and 
translation differences on non-monetary assets such as 
equities classified as financial assets are recognised in 
other comprehensive income.

Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations 
(none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary 
economy) that have a functional currency different 
from the presentation currency are translated into the 
presentation currency as follows:

• 

• 

assets and liabilities for each statement of financial 
position presented are translated at the closing rate 
at the date of that statement of financial position,

income and expenses for each statement of profit 
or loss and statement of comprehensive income are 
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is 
not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative 
effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction 
dates, in which case income and expenses are 
translated at the dates of the transactions), and

• 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in 
other comprehensive income

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from 
the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, 
and of borrowings and other financial instruments 
designated as hedges of such investments, are 
recognised in other comprehensive income.  

When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings 
forming part of the net investment are repaid, the 
associated exchange differences are reclassified to 
profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the 
acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets 
and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated 
at the closing rate.

(ii)  Revenue from contracts with customers

AASB 15 establishes a five-step model to account for 
revenue arising from contracts with customers and 
requires that revenue to be recognised at an amount 
that reflects the consideration to which an entity 
expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring 
goods or services to a customer. The five-step process 
outlined in AASB 15 are as follows:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

identify the contract(s) with a customer;

identify the performance obligations in the 
contract(s);

determine the transaction price;

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

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

Revenue is recognised when or as a performance 
obligation in the contract with customer is satisfied, i.e. 
when the control of the goods or services underlying 
the particular performance obligation is transferred to 
the customer.  

A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a 
distinct goods or service (or a series of distinct goods 
or services that are substantially the same and that 
have the same pattern of transfer) to the customer that 
is explicitly stated in the contract and implied in the 
Group’s customary business practices.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022 
41

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration 
to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange 
for transferring the promised goods or services to the 
customers, excluding amounts collected on behalf of 
third parties such as sales taxes or services taxes. If 
the amount of consideration varies due to discounts, 
rebates, refunds, credits, incentives, penalties or other 
similar items, the Group estimates the amount of 
consideration to which it will be entitled based on the 
expected value or the most likely outcome. 

If the contract with customer contains more than one 
performance obligation, the amount of consideration 
is allocated to each performance obligation based on 
the relative stand-alone selling prices of the goods or 
services promised in the contract. 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly 
probable that a significant reversal in the amount of 
cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the 
uncertainty associated with the variable consideration 
is subsequently resolved.

The control of the promised goods or services may be 
transferred over time or at a point in time. The control 
over the goods or services is transferred over time and 
revenue is recognised over time if:

• 

• 

• 

 the customer simultaneously receives and 
consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s 
performance as the Group performs; 

 the Group’s performance creates or enhances an 
asset that the customer controls as the asset is 
created or enhanced; or

 the Group’s performance does not create an asset 
with an alternative use and the Group has an 
enforceable right to payment for performance 
completed to date.

Revenue for performance obligation that is not 
satisfied over time is recognised at the point in time 
at which the customer obtains control of the promised 
goods or services.

(a)   Sales of service (revenue from patients and 

research projects and data deals)

Revenue from rendering of service is recognised 
upon the delivery of service to the customers. 

(b)   Research and development tax incentive

Refund amounts receivable under the Federal 
Government’s Research and Development Tax 
Incentives are recognised as other income in the 
period it is received. 

(c)   Interest Income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by 
reference to the principal outstanding and at the 
effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate 
that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts 
through the expected life of the financial asset to 
that assets’ net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(d)   Government grants

Government grants are assistance by the 
government in the form of transfers of resources to 
the Group in return for past or future compliance 
with certain conditions relating to the operating 
activities of the entity. 

Government grants include government assistance 
where there are no conditions specifically relating 
to the operating activities of the Group other than 
the requirement to operate in certain regions or 
industry sections.  

Government grants relating to income are 
recognised as income over the periods necessary 
to match them with the related costs and grants 
relating to assets are regarded as a reduction in asset. 

Government grants that are receivable as 
compensation for expenses or losses already 
incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate 
financial support to the Group with no future 
related costs are recognised net of expenses.

(iii)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and 
deposits with banks and highly liquid investments with 
original maturities of three months or less.

(iv)  Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability 
outstanding at reporting date for goods and services 
received by the Group during the reporting year, which 
remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current 
liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days 
of recognition of the liability.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022 
 
 
 
 
 
 
42

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

(v)  Income Tax

(vii) Impairment of assets

The income tax expense or revenue for the year is 
the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income 
based on the applicable income tax rate for each 
jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets 
and liabilities attributable to temporary differences 
and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary 
differences at the balance sheet date between the 
tax bases of the assets and liabilities and their carrying 
amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all 
taxable temporary differences except where the 
deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of 
an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business 
combination and, at the time of transaction, affects 
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is 
reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to 
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient 
taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the 
deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured 
at the tax rates that are expected to apply to when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on 
tax rates of (and tax laws) that have been enacted 
or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. 
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly 
in equity are recognised in equity and not in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

(vi)  Issued capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.  Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds.

Basic earnings/(loss) per share

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying 
values of its tangible assets to determine whether 
there is an indication that those assets have been 
impaired.  If such an indication exists, the recoverable 
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair 
value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared 
to the asset’s carrying value.  Any excess of the asset’s 
carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed 
to the statement of comprehensive income.

(viii) Financial instruments

Classification and measurement

Under AASB 9, the Group initially measures a financial 
asset as its fair value plus, in the case of financial asset 
not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. 
Financial assets are then subsequently measured at fair 
value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), amortised cost, or 
fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”).

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and 
subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value 
through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair 
value through profit or loss.

The classification of financial assets at initial 
recognition depends on the financial asset’s 
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s 
business model for managing them. With the exception 
of trade receivables that do not contain a significant 
financing component or for which the Group has 
applied the practical expedient, the Group initially 
measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the 
case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit 
or loss, transaction costs. 

Trade receivables that do not contain a significant 
financing component or for which the Group has 
applied the practical expedient are measured at the 
transaction price determined under AASB 15.

Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing:

Subsequent measurement

• 

The profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the 
Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other 
than ordinary shares

By the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus 
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes 
trade and other receivables.

Impairment of financial assets 

For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified 
approach in calculating expected credit losses (“ECLs”). 
Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit 
risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on 
lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202243

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, 
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or 
loss, loans and borrowings, payables or as derivatives 
designated as hedging instruments in an effective 
hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair 
value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and 
payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other 
payables and lease liabilities. 

SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT 
Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and 
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains 
and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the 
liabilities are derecognised as well as through the 
effective interest rate amortisation process.  Amortised 
cost is calculated by taking into account any discount 
or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an 
integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective 
interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in 
the statement of profit or loss.  This category generally 
applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings. 

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation 
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or 
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced 
by another from the same lender on substantially 
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability 
are substantially modified, such an exchange or 
modification is treated as the derecognition of the 
original liability and the recognition of a new liability. 
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

COMPOUND INSTRUMENTS 

The component parts of compound instruments 
(convertible bonds) issued by the Group are classified 
separately as financial liabilities and equity in 
accordance with the substance of the contractual 
arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability 
and an equity instrument.   Conversion options that will 
be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash 
or another financial asset for a fixed number of the 
Group’s own equity instruments is an equity instrument.

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability 
component is estimated using the prevailing market 
interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. 
This amount is recognised as a liability on an amortised 
cost basis using the effective interest method until 
extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s 
maturity date. 

The conversion option classified as equity is determined 
by deducting the amount of the liability component 
from the fair value of the compound instrument as 
a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, 
net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently 
remeasured. In addition, the conversion option 
classified as equity will remain in equity until the 
conversion option is exercised, in which case, the 
balance recognised in equity will be transferred to 
share capital. 

Where the conversion option remains unexercised at 
the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance 
recognised in equity will be transferred to retained 
earnings. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income upon conversion or 
expiration of the conversion option.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the 
convertible notes are allocated to the liability and 
equity components in proportion to the allocation of 
the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the 
equity component are recognised directly in equity. 
Transaction costs relating to the liability component 
are included in the carrying amount of the liability 
component and are amortised over the lives of the 
convertible notes using the effective interest method.

(ix)  Property, plant and equipment

(i)   Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are 
measured at cost less accumulated depreciation 
and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the asset.  The 
cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost 
of materials and direct labour, any other costs 
directly attributable to bringing the assets to 
a working condition for their intended use, the 
costs of dismantling and removing the items and 
restoring the site on which they are located and 
capitalised borrowing costs.  

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022 
 
44

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of 
property, plant and equipment are determined by 
comparing the proceeds from disposal with the 
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment 
and are recognised net within other income in 
profit or loss.  When revalued assets are sold, the 
amounts included in the revaluation reserve are 
transferred to retained earnings.

directly attributable to the design and testing 
of identifiable and unique software products 
controlled by the Group is recognised if, and only 
if, all of the following have been demonstrated: 
where the following criteria are met:

• 

it is technically feasible to complete the software 
so that it will be available for use,

•  management intends to complete the software 

(ii)   Subsequent costs

and use or sell it,

The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, 
plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying 
amount of the item if it is probable that the future 
economic benefits embodied within the part will 
flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured 
reliably.  The carrying amount of the replaced 
part is derecognised.  The costs of the day-to-day 
servicing of property, plant and equipment are 
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii)  Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable 
amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other 
amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss on 
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
lives of each part of an item of property, plant 
and equipment, since this most closely reflects the 
expected pattern of consumption of the future 
economic benefits embodied in the asset. 

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over 
the shorter of the assets’ useful life and the lease 
term on a straight-line basis.

The depreciation rates used for each 
 class of asset are:

•  fixtures and fittings

• 

leasehold improvements

22.5 - 40%

20%

•  computer equipment and software

22.5 - 40%

•  Right-of-use assets

20%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual 
values are reviewed at each financial year-end 
and adjusted if appropriate.

(x)  Intangible assets

(a)  Software

Costs associated with maintaining software 
programmes are recognised as an expense 
as incurred.  Development costs that are 

• 

• 

• 

• 

there is an ability to use or sell the software,

it can be demonstrated how the software will 
generate probable future economic benefits,

adequate technical, financial and other resources 
to complete the development and to use or sell 
the software are available, and

the expenditure attributable to the software 
during its development can be reliably measured.

The Group amortises software with a limited useful 
life using the straight-line method between 2-5 years.

(b)  Research and development costs

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Research costs are expenses as incurred. Development 
expenditures on an individual project are recognised as 
an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:

 the technical feasibility to complete the intangible 
asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale,

 its intention to complete and its ability and 
intention to use or sell the asset,

 how the asset will generate future economic benefits,

 the availability of resources to complete the 
development of the asset, and

 the ability to measure reliably expenditure during 
development.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised 
include employee costs and an appropriate 
portion of relevant overheads.  Capitalised 
development costs are recorded as intangible 
assets and amortised from the point at which the 
asset is ready for use.

Following initial recognition of the development 
expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at 
cost less any accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of 
the asset begins when development is complete 
and the asset is available for use. It is amortised 
over the period of expected future benefit.  

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
45

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Amortisation is recorded in cost of sales. During 
the period of development, the asset is tested 
annually for impairment.

(c) 

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately are recorded 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight-
line basis over their estimated useful lives when 
available for use. The estimated useful life and 
amortisation method is reviewed at the end of 
each annual reporting period, with any changes in 
these accounting estimates being accounted for 
on a prospective basis.

(xi)  Provisions

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

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to 
be reimbursed the reimbursement is recognised as a 
separate asset but only when the reimbursement is 
virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is 
presented in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of 
management’s best estimate of the expenditure required 
to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. 

The discount rate used to determine the present value 
reflects current market assessments of the time value 
of money and the risks specific to the liability. The 
increase in the provision resulting from the passage of 
time is recognised in finance costs.

(xii) Employee benefits

(a)   Equity settled compensation

The Group operates equity-settled share-based 
payment employee share and option schemes. The 
fair value of the equity to which employees become 
entitled is measured at grant date and recognised 
as an expense over the vesting period, with a 
corresponding increase to an equity account. 

The fair value of shares is ascertained as the 
market bid price. The fair value of options is 
ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model 

which incorporates all market vesting conditions. 

The number of shares and options expected to 
vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting 
date such that the amount recognised for 
services received as consideration for the equity 
instruments granted shall be based on the number 
of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(b)   Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-
monetary benefits and annual leave expected to 
be settled within 12 months after the end of the 
period in which the employees render the related 
service are recognised in respect of employees’ 
services up to the end of the reporting period and 
are measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liabilities are settled.

The liability for annual leave is recognised in the 
provision for employee benefits. All other short-
term employee benefit obligations are presented 
as payables.

(c)   Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liability for long service leave and annual 
leave which is not expected to be settled within 
12 months after the end of the period in which the 
employees render the related service is recognised 
in the provision for employee benefits and measured 
as the present value of expected future payments 
to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the end of the reporting period 
using the projected unit credit method.

Consideration is given to expected future wage 
and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market yields 
at the end of the reporting period on national 
government bonds with terms to maturity and 
currency that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows.

(d)   Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided 
to directors, employees and consultants via the 
option terms and conditions set out by the Group.

The fair value of options granted under the option 
terms and conditions set out by the Group is 
recognised as a share-based payments expense 
with a corresponding increase in equity. 

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
46

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

The total amount to be expensed is determined 
by reference to the fair value of the options 
granted, which includes any market performance 
conditions and the impact of any non-vesting 
conditions but excludes the impact of any service 
and non-market performance vesting conditions.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in 
assumptions about the number of options that are 
expected to vest. 

The total expense is recognised over the vesting 
period, which is the period over which all of the 
specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. 
At the end of each period, the entity revises its 
estimates of the number of options that are 
expected to vest based on the non-market vesting 
conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision 
to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a 
corresponding adjustment to equity.

  When the options are exercised, the Group 
transfers the appropriate number of shares 
to the director, employee or consultant. The 
proceeds received net of any directly attributable 
transaction costs are credited directly to equity.

(e)   Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment 
is terminated before the normal retirement date, or 
when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in 
exchange for these benefits. 

The Group recognises termination benefits when it 
is demonstrably committed to either terminating 
the employment of current employees according 
to a detailed formal plan without possibility of 
withdrawal or to providing termination benefits as 
a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary 
redundancy.  

Benefits falling due more than 12 months after 
the end of the reporting period are discounted to 
present value.

(xiii) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net 
of the amount of associated GST, except where the 
amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the 
Australian Taxation 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 statements of 
financial position are stated inclusive of the amount of 
GST receivable or payable.  
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. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority 
is included with other receivables or payables in the 
statements of financial position.

(xiv) ROU assets and lease liabilities

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses if 
the contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease 
present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease 
liability is recognised by the Group where the Group is 
a lessee. 

However, all contracts that are classified as short-term 
leases (lease with remaining lease term of 12 months or 
less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as 
an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the 
term of the lease.

Initially, the lease liability is measured at the present 
value of the lease payments still to be paid at the 
commencement date. The lease payments are 
discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If 
this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses 
the incremental borrowing rate.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset at the 
commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use 
asset is initially measured at cost. The cost of right 
of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities 
recognised, adjusted for any lease payments made at 
or before the commencement date, plus initial direct 
costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle, 
remove or restore the leased asset, less any lease 
incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising 
the following:

• 

• 

• 

• 

The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

Any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date less any lease incentives received

Any initial direct costs, and

Restoration costs.

Subsequent to initial measurement, right-of-use assets 
are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the 
underlying asset whichever is the shortest.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Deferred tax assets have not been brought to account at 30 June 2022 because the directors do not believe it is 
appropriate to regard realisation of the future tax benefit as probable.  

These benefits will only be obtained if:

(i)   the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit 

from the deduction for the loss to be realised;

(ii) 

 the Group complies with the conditions for the deductibility imposed by law including the continuity of 
ownership and/or business tests; and

(iii)   no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deduction  

for the loss.

The Group applies the simplified approach in providing for expected credit losses (ECL) prescribed by AASB 9.  

The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past 
defaults experience and analysis of the debtors’ current financial position.  

There has been no change in the estimation process used during the current reporting period.

There is no amortisation cost allocated to operating cost. 

The Group started capitalising development costs relating to Openly and EMD-003 projects during the financial 
year ended 30 June 2021.

The Board assesses each project at balance date:

i.  Openly: The Company received TGA approval for its clinical management support web-based application 

software in September 2020. Costs associated with further development of this device have been capitalised.

ii.  EMD-RX5 (previously known as EMD-003): relates to the use of cannabidiol for the treatment of psychological 
distress. During the year, Emyria completed a phase I study for the use of cannabidiol for the treatment of 
psychological distress.

At initial recognition, the lease liabilities were measured at the present value of minimum lease payment using the 
Group’s incremental borrowing rate of 6%. The incremental borrowing rate was based on the unsecured interest rate 
that will apply if finance was sought for an amount and time period equivalent to the lease requirements of the Group.

Australia to expand the MDMA analogue program. 
There are no other commitments or contingent liabilities outstanding for the Group or the Company other than

Note 20: Segment information

AASB 8 ‘Operating Segments’ requires a “management approach” under which segment information is presented 
on the same basis as that useful for internal reporting purposes by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, being the research and 
development where the Group is a health care technology and clinical research company focused on generating 
high quality real-world evidence (RWE) data. The chief operating decision makers of the Group are the Executive 
Directors and Officers.

All the Group’s activities are interconnected and all significant operating decisions are based on analysis of 
the Group as one segment. The financial results of the segment are the equivalent of the financial statements 
as a whole. At 30 June 2022, all revenues and material assets are considered to be derived and held in one 
geographical area being Australia. 

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202263

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 21: Financial risk management

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts receivable and payable.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (ie. interest rate risk), credit risk and 
liquidity risk.  The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets 
and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.  The Group uses 
different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. 

The Group’s Risk Committee (“the Committee) performs the duties of risk management in identifying and 
evaluating sources of financial and other risks.  The Committee provides written principles for overall risk 
management which balance the potential adverse effects of financial risks on Group’s financial performance and 
position with the “upside” potential made possible by exposure to these risks and by considering the costs and 
expected benefits of the various methods available to manage them.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because 
of changes in market interest rates.  The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates 
primarily to the Group’s Australian Dollar current and non-current debt obligations with floating interest rates.   
The Group is also exposed to interest rate risk on its cash and short term deposits.

Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risks.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit 
exposures to customers.  The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the 
financial assets as summarised above of this note.

As at 30 June 2022, all cash and cash equivalents were held with National Australia Bank with an A (Standard 
and Poor’s) credit rating.  In relation to trade receivables, management assesses the credit quality of the customer, 
taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors.

The credit risk on other receivables is limited as it is comprised of GST recoverable from the Australian Taxation 
Office. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter party is a bank with high credit rating.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management involves the maintenance of sufficient cash, committed credit facilities and 
access to capital markets.  It is the policy of the Board to ensure that the Group is able to meet its financial 
obligations and maintain the flexibility to pursue attractive investment opportunities through keeping committed 
credit lines available where possible, ensuring the Group has sufficient working capital.  The Group manages 
liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities 

As at the reporting date the Group had total financial liabilities of $1,621,592 (2021: $1,628,222) which 
comprised of trade and other payables and borrowings with a maturity of less than 6 months and lease 
liabilities maturing within the next four years. 

Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the 
potential return to shareholders.  The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to equity 
holders, comprising issued capital and reserves as disclosed in notes 11 and 13.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at approximate carrying values.

Note 22: Fair value measurement

Fair value hierarchy

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

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access 
at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 
either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Group does not have assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value as at 30 June 2022 and 2021.

Estimates of fair value take into account factors and market conditions evident at balance date. Uncertainty and 
changes in global market conditions in the future may impact fair values in the future.

Transfers between level 1, 2 and 3

There were no movements between different fair value measurement levels during the financial year (2021: none)

As Audit Director for the audit of the financial statements of Emyria Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022, I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been no contraventions of:  (i) the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and  (ii) any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

 Auditor’s Opinion

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022         Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation        PO Box 1908 West Perth WA 6872 Australia Level 2, 40 Kings Park Road West Perth WA 6005 Australia Tel: +61 8 9481 3188 Fax: +61 8 9321 1204 ABN: 84 144 581 519 www.stantons.com.au   Stantons Is a member of the Russell Bedford International network of firms         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF  EMYRIA LIMITED  Report on the Audit of the Financial Report   Opinion  We have audited the financial report of Emyria Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, 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:   (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and  (ii) 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 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 (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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  Material Uncertainty in Relation to Going Concern  As referred to in Note 1(iv) of the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.   The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its planned commitments is dependent upon the Group being successful in raising funds through the issuance of capital. If the Group is unable to obtain sufficient funding for its ongoing operating and capital requirements, the Group may not be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due, and the realisable value of the Group’s current and non-current assets may be significantly less than book values.   Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.  70

Auditor’s Opinion

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022        2    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, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  Key Audit Matters How the matters were addressed in the audit  Capitalised development costs  During the financial year, the Group capitalised development costs which amounted to $2,894,905 (refer to Note 8 to the financial statements).   Capitalisation of development costs was a key audit matter due to:  i. judgment involved in applying the requirements of AASB 138 Intangible Assets which includes judgment about the future performance and viability of the project; and  ii. the size and nature of the amount the judgment involved in identifying costs that meet the criteria for capitalisation under the requirements of the accounting standards.             Inter alia, our audit procedures included the following:  i. Evaluated the nature of the development expenses incurred that are capitalised as intangible assets.  ii. Assessed the reasonableness of the capitalisation based on our knowledge of the business and industry.  iii. Evaluated the appropriateness of expenses capitalised, on a sample basis, by agreeing material costs incurred to external invoices and other relevant supporting documents.  iv. Assessing whether any impairment of the capitalised development costs was necessary as at 30 June 2022.  v. Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.  Revenue recognition  The Group’s revenue amounted to $1,822,400 (refer to Note 2(a) to the consolidated financial statements during the financial year ended 30 June 2022. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements describes the accounting policies applicable to the revenue from contracts with customers, noting that the revenue from the different revenue classifications is recognised in the period when the service is rendered. There is an inherent risk around the accuracy of revenue recorded given the nature of the Group’s activities.  Accounting for revenue recognition was a key audit matter due to the significance of revenue in understanding the financial results for users of the consolidated financial statements and the judgment required in applying the requirements of AASB 15 mainly in the identification of the performance obligations under its contracts with customers.    Inter alia, our audit procedures included the following:  i. Assessed whether the Group’s accounting policies were in accordance with the requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  ii. Reviewed and analysed significant sales contracts to verify correct accounting treatment.  iii. Tested on a sample basis, revenue transactions by agreeing revenue recognised during the year to the signed customer contract and other relevant supporting documents and verified that the revenue is recognised when the performance obligation has been satisfied.  iv. Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures in respect of revenue recognition with the criteria prescribed by the applicable standard.         71

Auditor’s Opinion

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022        3   Key Audit Matters How the matters were addressed in the audit Measurement of share-based payments  During the financial year, the Group recognised share-based payment expense of $1,230,892 in the consolidated statement of profit or loss (refer to Note 12 to the financial statements).   The Group awarded share-based payments in the form of share options. The awards vest subject to the achievement of certain vesting conditions.   The Group used the Black-Scholes model in valuing the share-based awards, based on the vesting conditions attached to each tranche.  Measurement of share-based payments was a key audit matter due to the complex and judgmental estimates used in determining the fair value of the share-based payments.    Inter alia, our procedures included the following:  i. Reviewed the relevant agreements to obtain an understanding of the contractual nature and terms and conditions of the share-based payment arrangements.  ii. Assessed the assumptions used in the Group’s valuation of share options being the share price of the underlying equity, interest rate, volatility, dividend yield, time to maturity (expected life) and grant date.  iii. Assessed the fair value of the calculation through re-performance using the Black Scholes model.   iv. Assessed the allocation of the share-based payment expense over the relevant vesting period.   v. Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.  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 2022 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 opinion thereon.   In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.   72

Auditor’s Opinion

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022        4   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 Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.  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.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.  We 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.  We 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 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.  The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. 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, related safeguards.  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 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.   73

Auditor’s Opinion

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 2022        5   Report on the Remuneration Report   Opinion on the Remuneration Report   We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2022.  In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Emyria Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  Responsibilities  The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Corporate 
Governance 
Statement

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202275

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of Directors of Emyria Limited. (“Company”) 
is responsible for the corporate governance of the 
Company. The Board guides and monitors the 
business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the 
shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom 
they are accountable.

ASX Recommendation 1.4: The Company Secretary of 
a listed company should be accountable directly to 
the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to do with 
the proper functioning of the Board.

The Board Charter provides for the Company Secretary to 
be accountable directly to the Board through the Chair.

This statement sets out the main corporate governance 
practices in place throughout the financial year in 
accordance with 4th edition of the ASX Principles 
of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice 
Recommendations.

This Statement was approved by the Board of Directors 
and is current as at 29 August 2022. 

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for  
management and oversight

ASX Recommendation 1.1: A listed entity should have 
and disclose a board charter setting out:

The Board has adopted a formal charter that details 
the respective Board and management functions and 
responsibilities. A copy of this Board charter is available 
in the corporate governance section of the Company’s 
website at www.emyria.com.

ASX Recommendation 1.2: A listed entity should:

(a)  undertake appropriate checks before appointing 
a director or senior executive or putting someone 
forward for election as a director; and

(b)  provide security holders with all material 

information in its possession relevant to a decision 
on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director.

The Company considers the character, industry 
and relevant experience, education and skill set, as 
well as interests and associations of candidates for 
appointment to the Board or as a senior executive and 
conducts appropriate checks to verify the suitability of 
the candidate, as part of the appointment process.

Information in relation to Directors seeking 
reappointment is set out in the Directors’ report and is 
included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

ASX Recommendation 1.3: A listed entity should have 
a written agreement with each Director and Senior 
Executive setting out the terms of their appointment.

The Company has in place written agreements with 
each Director and senior executives.

ASX Recommendation 1.5: A listed entity should:

(a)  have and disclose a diversity policy;

(b)  through its board or a committee of the board 

set measurable objectives for achieving gender 
diversity in the composition of its board, senior 
executives and workforce generally; and

(c)  disclose in relation to each reporting period:

(1) 

the measurable objectives set for that 
period to achieve gender diversity;

(2)  the entity’s progress towards achieving 

those objectives; and

(3)  either:

(A)  the respective proportions of men 
and women on the board, in senior 
executive positions and across the 
whole workforce (including how the 
entity has defined “senior executive” 
for these purposes); or

(B) 

if the entity is a “relevant employer” 
under the Workplace Gender Equality 
Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender 
Equality Indicators”, as defined in and 
published under that Act.3.

The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy which is 
available in the corporate governance section of the 
Company’s website at www.emyria.com

The Board considers that, due to the size, nature 
and stage of development of the Company, setting 
measurable objectives for the Diversity Policy at this 
time is not practical. The Board will consider setting 
measurable objectives as the Company increases in 
size and complexity.

As at 30 June 2022 the Company has one female 
Board member (2021: nil) and has 3 female senior 
managers (2021: 3). Of the balance of the Company’s 
employees 71% are female (2021: 75%).  
69% (2021: 68%) of the Company’s employees in 
total, including Directors, are female.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202276

Corporate Governance Statement

ASX Recommendation 1.6: A listed entity should:

(a)  have and disclose a process for periodically 

evaluating the performance of the board, its 
committees and individual directors; and

(b)  disclose for each reporting period whether a 

performance evaluation has been undertaken in 
accordance with that process during or in respect 
of that period.

The Board has adopted a self-evaluation process to 
measure its own performance and the performance 
during each financial year. The Chairperson is also 
responsible for conducting an annual review of overall 
board performance during a regular meeting of the 
board. A performance review was undertaken during 
the reporting period.

ASX Recommendation 1.7: A listed entity should:

(a)  have and disclose a process for evaluating the 

performance of its senior executives at least once 
every reporting period; and

(b)  disclose for each reporting period whether a 

performance evaluation has been undertaken in 
accordance with that process during or in respect 
of that period.

The performance of executive Directors including the 
Managing Director is considered as part of the Board 
review process.

The performance of other executives was reviewed and 
monitored by the Managing Director on an ongoing 
basis throughout the year.

The Board reviews the business performance of the 
Company and its subsidiaries, whether strategic objectives 
are being achieved and the development of management 
and personnel at each formal board meeting.

A performance review was undertaken during the 
reporting period.

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value

ASX Recommendation 2.1: The Board of a listed  
entity should:

(a)  have a nomination committee which:

(1)  has at least three members, a majority  
of whom are independent directors; and

(2) 

is chaired by an independent director,  
and disclose:

(1) 

the charter of the committee;

(2)  the members of the committee; and

(3)  as at the end of each reporting period, 
the number of times the committee 
met throughout the period and 
the individual attendances of the 
members at those meetings; or

(b)  if it does not have a nomination committee, 

disclose that fact and the processes it employs 
to address board succession issues and to ensure 
that the board has the appropriate balance of 
skills, knowledge, experience, independence and 
diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and 
responsibilities effectively.

Due to the size and nature of the existing Board 
and the magnitude of the Company’s operations, 
the Company does not currently have a Nomination 
Committee. The full Board considers Board composition 
and identifies and assesses candidates to fill any casual 
vacancy which may arise from time to time. 

The Board considers that at this stage no efficiencies 
or other benefits would be gained by establishing a 
separate Nomination Committee.

ASX Recommendation 2.2: A listed entity should have 
and disclose a Board skills matrix setting out the mix 
of skills and diversity that the Board currently has or is 
looking to achieve in its membership.

On a collective basis the Board’s skills matrix indicates 
the mix of skills, experience and expertise that are 
considered necessary at Board level for optimal 
performance of the Board. 

The matrix reflects the Board’s objective to have an 
appropriate mix of specific industry and professional 
experience including skills such as medical expertise, 
drug development, RWE capture, leadership, 
governance, strategy, finance, risk management, 
Government and international business operations. 

A profile of each Director setting out their skills, 
experience and period of office is set out in the 
Directors’ Report of the latest Annual Report. 

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202277

Corporate Governance Statement

ASX Recommendation 2.3: A listed entity  
should disclose:

(a)  the names of the directors considered by the 

board to be independent directors;

(b)  if a director has an interest, position or 

relationship of the type described in Box 2.3 
(Factors relevant to assessing the independence 
of a director) but the board is of the opinion that 
it does not compromise the independence of the 
director, the nature of the interest, position or 
relationship in question and an explanation of 
why the board is of that opinion; and

(c)  the length of service of each director.

The Board currently consists of Executive Directors Dr 
Stewart Washer, Dr Michael Winlo, Dr Alistair Vickery 
and Dr Karen Smith and Non-Executive Directors Mr 
Matthew Callahan and Sir John Tooke. Mr Callahan 
is not considered an independent Director due to an 
associated entity being a substantial shareholder in the 
Company. Sir John Tooke is considered an independent 
Director. As the Company’s activities develop in size, 
nature and scope, the composition of the Board 
and the implementation of additional corporate 
governance policies and structures, including further 
independent Directors will be reviewed.

Dr Stewart Washer and Mr Mathew Callahan were 
appointed directors on 19 March 2018. Dr Alistair Vickery 
was appointed on 18 March 2019. Dr Michael Winlo was 
appointed on 7 November 2019, Sir John Tooke was 
appointed on 10 February 2020 and Dr Karen Smith 
was appointed on 29 November 2021.

ASX Recommendation 2.4: The majority of the Board 
of a listed entity should be independent Directors.

Due to the size and scale of the Company’s current 
activities, the Board does not consist of a majority of 
independent directors.

is appropriate given the size and current operations 
of the Company. To further facilitate independent 
decision-making, the Board has agreed procedures for 
Directors to have access in appropriate circumstances 
to independent professional advice. As the Company 
grows, the Board will consider the appointment of 
additional independent directors

ASX Recommendation 2.5: The Chair of a listed entity 
should be an independent Director and, in particular, 
should not be the same person as the CEO of the entity.

The Board has formed the view that, given the size 
and nature of the business of the Company, and the 
knowledge and experience Dr Stewart Washer brings to 
the Company, that Dr Washer is the most appropriate 
person to hold the position of Chairman of the 
Company even though he is not independent by reason 
of being an Executive Director. The Chairman is not the 
same person as the CEO of the entity, with Dr Michael 
Winlo performing this role. 

ASX recommendation 2.6: A listed entity should 
have a program for inducting new directors and 
for periodically reviewing whether there is a need 
for existing directors to undertake professional 
development to maintain the skills and knowledge 
needed to perform their role as directors effectively.

Upon appointment to the Board new Directors will be 
provided with Company policies and will be provided 
an opportunity to discuss the Company’s operations 
with senior management and the Board.

The Company encourages its Directors to participate 
in professional development opportunities to maintain 
the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role 
as directors effectively.

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly

ASX Recommendation 3.1: A listed entity should 
articulate and disclose its values.

statements for the half year ended 31 December 2021 
and the full year ended 30 June 2022.

nature of the business of the Company, such a process 
is not required in relation to the Company’s quarterly 
cash flow reports. 

ASX Recommendation 4.3: A listed entity should 
disclose its process to verify the integrity of any 
periodic corporate report it releases to the market

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

ASX Recommendation 7.1: The Board of a listed  
entity should:

(a)  have a committee or committees to oversee risk, 

each of which:

(1)  has at least three members, all of whom 

are non-executive directors and a majority 
of whom are independent directors; and

(2) 

is chaired by an independent director, who  
is not the chair of the board, and disclose:

(1) 

the charter of the committee;

(2)  the relevant qualifications and 

experience of the members of the 
committee; and

(3) 

in relation to each reporting period, 
the number of times the committee 
met throughout the period and 
the individual attendances of the 
members at those meetings; or

(b)  if it does not have a risk committee or 

committees that satisfy (a) above, disclose that 
fact and the processes it employs for overseeing 
the entity’s risk management framework.

The Board’s collective experience will assist in the 
identification of the principal risks that may affect the 
Company’s business. Key operational risks and their 
management will be recurring items for deliberation at 
Board meetings. 

A Risk Committee has been established by the Board. 
Members of the Risk Committee are Sir John Tooke 
(Chair) MR Matthew Callahan and Dr Alistair Vickery.

The qualifications and experience of the members 
of the Risk Committee, and the number of times the 
committee met during the financial year are disclosed 
in the Directors’ Report contained in the Annual Report.

As a consequence of the size and composition of the 
Company’s Board the Risk Committee does not 
have a majority of independent Directors, however 
the Board considers the composition of the Risk 
Committee to be appropriate for the current size  
and activities of the Company.

EMYRIA ANNUAL REPORT 202281

Corporate Governance Statement

ASX Recommendation 7.2: The Board or a committee 
of the Board, of a listed entity should:

(a)  review the entity’s risk management framework 

at least annually to satisfy itself that it 
continues to be sound and review the entity’s

that the entity is operating with due regard to

(b)  disclose, in relation to each reporting period, 
whether such a review has taken place.  
The Board conducted such a review during the 
reporting period.

fact and the processes it employs for evaluating 
and continually improving the effectiveness of

audit function. Due to the nature and size of the

disclosed below, the expense of an independent 
internal auditor is not considered to be appropriate.

disclose whether it has any material exposure to 
environmental and social risks and if it does, how  
it manages or intends to manage those risks.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board as a whole performs the function of a 
Remuneration Committee which includes setting the 
Company’s remuneration structure, determining eligibilities 
to incentive schemes, assessing performance and 
remuneration of senior management and determining 
the remuneration and incentives of the Board.

The Board considers that the Company is not currently 
of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity requiring 
the formation of a separate Remuneration Committee.

The Board may obtain external advice from 
independent consultants in determining the Company’s 
remuneration practices, including remuneration levels, 
where considered appropriate.

ASX Recommendation 8.2: A listed entity should 
separately disclose its policies and practices 
regarding the remuneration of Non-Executive 
Directors and the remuneration of Executive 
Directors and other senior executives.

The remuneration of any Executive Director will be 
decided by the Board, without the affected Executive 
Director participating in that decision-making process.

A Non-Executive Director may be paid fees or 
other amounts in accordance with any consultancy 
agreement in which they have an interest or as the 
Directors determine from time to time where a Director 
performs special duties or otherwise performs services 
outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director or 
any consultancy agreement in place.

In addition, subject to any necessary Shareholder 
approval Directors may receive non-cash performance 
incentives such as options or performance rights. 
Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel 
and other expenses incurred by them in the course of 
the performance of their duties as Directors.

The Board reviews and approves the Company’s 
remuneration policy in order to ensure that the 
Company is able to attract and retain executives 
and Directors who will create value for Shareholders, 
having regard to the amount considered to be 
commensurate for an entity of the Company’s size and 
level of activity as well as the relevant Directors’ time, 
commitment and responsibility. 

The Board is also responsible for reviewing any 
employee incentive and equity-based plans including 
the appropriateness of performance hurdles and total 
payments proposed.
