Chair's report
30 June 2020

On  behalf  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  we  are  pleased  to  present  the  operational  and  financial  review  for  Farmaforce 
Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020.

This  year  has  seen  the  Company  further  expand  and  consolidate  its  position  in  the  market  and  the  results  for  this 
financial  year  have  delighted  the  Board.  Revenue  growth  over  the  last  12  months  has  been  exceptional,  with  an 
increase of 19% to $13,983,903 compared to FY19. This represents a cumulative revenue increase of 252% over a 
three-year period.

At the underlying EBITDA level, our operations improved by $1,117,217 for the year. This represents an increase of 
67%  when  compared  to  last  year.  This  was  despite  significant  investment  that  continued  from  2HY  FY19  into  1HY 
FY20 in building additional teams with the objective of increasing the revenue of the Company when these teams are 
being utilised at full capacity. This allowed the Company to be in a position to enter into more contracts with new and 
existing  customers  in  2HY  FY20.  The  impact  of  this  investment  started  to  flow  through  in  2HY  FY20,  allowing  the 
Company to achieve a gross margin of 25.6% for 2HY FY20. This exceeded the forecasted gross margin announced 
to the market for 2HY FY20 of 21.6%. This represents a significant milestone for the Company, particularly during a 
time of negative sentiment associated with the global COVID-19 pandemic. We expect continued revenue growth as 
the full impact of this investment is realised in FY21.

In closing, when we look deeper into the numbers, we can see in the underlying results that our business is performing 
well  and  growing.  I  congratulate  my  fellow  Directors  and  management,  on  achieving  these  firm  results  despite  the 
challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. I would like to reiterate that our leadership team is committed to continuing to 
build the Farmaforce business and to strive to add value to our clients, shareholders and employees. I also extend a 
sincere thank you to our shareholders for their patience and support as we continue to execute our strategies to grow 
the company and move towards profitability.

Directors' report
30 June 2020

The  Directors  present  their  report,  together  with  the  financial  statements,  on  Farmaforce  Limited  ('Farmaforce'  or  the 
'Company') for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Directors
The  following  persons  were  Directors  of  the  Company  during  the  whole  of  the  financial  year  and  up  to  the  date  of  this 
report, unless otherwise stated:

George Elias
Dr George Syrmalis
Con Tsigounis
Harry Simeonidis

Principal activities
During  the  year  the  principal  activity  of  Farmaforce  was  the  provision  of  services  as  a  contract  sales  organisation in  the 
Australian pharmaceutical industry.

Dividends
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Review of operations
During the year, Farmaforce continued to grow revenues by securing new contracts and clients, as well as by executing 
sales contracts.

The growth in market share has resulted in a 19% increase in revenue in the past year and a cumulative revenue increase 
of 252% over a three-year period.

With the accelerated growth of the Australian population and the continuous growth of the ageing population, we anticipate 
that  the  healthcare  market  will  continue  to  expand  over  the  next  five  years.  The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  further 
highlighted the importance of healthcare and will further contribute to the expansion of the industry into the future.

Key highlights this financial year include:
● Winner  of  the  ‘Best  Health  and  Pharma  Contract  Sales  Organisation  -  Australia’  in  the  Global  Health  and  Pharma 

●

●

(ghp) Awards;
Secured new client contracts for existing Farmaforce teams, which resulted in margin leverage for the 2HY of FY20, 
successfully meeting its margin forecast announced to the market for 2HY FY20; and
Secured new contract the pharmaceutical sales industry, expanding the Farmaforce services beyond exclusively GP 
sales.

The  share-based  payment  expense  is  an  allocation  of  GBS  Inc.  shares  awarded  to  staff  from  GBS  Inc.  (a  related 
party of the Company) for an amount of $258,000 (refer to note 31).

**  The related party revenue in FY19 relates to consulting services provided to the parent entity, The IQ Group Global 

Ltd (refer to note 29).

After adjustments for significant items, the underlying EBITDA from continuing operations for the year ended 30 June 2020 
was  a  negative  underlying  EBITDA  of  $540,610,  a  significant  improvement  of  67%  on  the  prior  period  (2019:  negative 
underlying EBITDA of $1,657,827).

The significant improvement on the underlying EBITDA of 67% is directly attributable to the stronger margin delivered in 
2HY  FY20,  achieved  through  new  customer  contracts  wins  and  existing  customer  contracts  generating  consistent 
revenues. The negative underlying EBITDA was a result of significant investment in 1HY FY20 made as part of building 
additional  sales  teams  with  the  objective  of  increasing  the  revenue  of  the  Company  when  the  teams  are  utilised  at  full 
capacity.  The  impact  of  this  investment  started  to  flow  through  in  2HY  FY20  and  will  continue  into  FY21.  This  was 
demonstrated by a significantly improved financial performance in the 2HY despite the challenging condition presented by 
the  COVID-19  pandemic.  Following  a  strong  performance  in  the  last  quarter  of  FY20,  the  Company  successfully  met  its 
forecast as detailed in its investor update to the exchange (ASX), achieving a gross margin of 25.6% for 2HY FY20. This 
exceeded the forecasted gross margin for 2HY FY20 of 21.6%, representing a significant achievement for the Company as 
it continues to expand its operations into the future.

Mobilisation of salesforce
During 2HY FY20, Farmaforce successfully mobilised a virtual salesforce to continue optimum business operations during 
the  COVID-19  period,  which  encompassed  much  of  2HY  FY20.  As  a  response  to  the  guidance  given  by  the  Australian 
Government  on  29  March  2020  to  contain  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  the  Company’s  sales  representatives  connected 
with medical  professionals  via  a  globally  accredited  and  secure  virtual  sales  platform  replacing  their  face-to-face 
interactions. This  facilitated  business  as  usual  and  allowed  the  Company  to  deliver  quality  results  to  clients  and 
continue  to  support medical practitioners Australia-wide, resulting in a strong 2HY FY20 performance when compared to 
1HY FY20. 

Demand of outsourced sales solutions continues to increase
With the increase of global healthcare expenditures, the pharmaceutical industry has grown significantly and has become 
more  dynamic.  The  continued  demand  for  new  medications  to  address  unmet  clinical  needs  has  given  the  industry  a 
consequential boost. The COVID-19 pandemic has further contributed to this increase in global healthcare expenditures as 
people place a greater focus on all healthcare related priorities in their lives.

In  parallel,  pharmaceutical  company  profits  are  declining  due  to  the  expiration  of  patents  and  the  high  costs  associated 
with  both  research  and  development,  and  drug  approval  processes.  These  factors  have  forced  leading  pharmaceutical 
players  to  consider  outsourcing  in-house  processes  with  high  overhead  costs,  such  as  sales,  to  focus  on  core  business 
operations, such as research and development, patent filing and more.

Because of this, companies globally are investing in the expertise of pharmaceutical contract sales organisations (CSOs) 
as  an  effective  way  to  boost  sales  without  impacting  their  bottom  line,  and  this  trend  is  anticipated  to  increase  in  the 
coming  years.  To  keep  up  with  the  rapid  growth  of  the  healthcare  industry,  businesses  operating  in  the  pharmaceutical 
sector are realising the need to expand their geographical outreach, which will further augment the expansion of the global 
pharmaceutical CSO market.

Directors' report
30 June 2020

Additionally,  there  are  a  multitude  of  regional  regulatory  issues  that  add  pressure  to  pharmaceutical  manufacturers  to 
reduce  costs  for  customers,  and  this  presents  even  more  opportunities  for  pharmaceutical  CSOs  to  add  value. 
Pharmaceutical  companies  are  now  outsourcing  some  of  these  processes  to  cut  unwanted  expenses,  engaging 
pharmaceutical  CSOs  to  alleviate  this  pressure  with  additional  regulatory  and  medical  affairs  services.  Further  to  this, 
digital  solutions  such  as  cloud  computing,  tele-detailing  and  e-commerce  are  already  bringing  in  positive  changes  to  the 
healthcare  industry,  which  we  are  seeing  trickle  into  a  heightened  demand  for  an  expanded  service  offering  from 
pharmaceutical CSOs.

More than ever, pharmaceutical companies of all sizes are banking on CSOs such as Farmaforce to improve and innovate 
their  businesses,  boost  product  sales  across  the  board,  and  increase  their  market  share.  This  global  trend  presents 
tremendous growth opportunities for Farmaforce.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The Company successfully applied for the Australian Government’s JobKeeper program and was eligible on 4 August 2020 
with payments effective 1 July 2020. The JobKeeper payment applied to a proportion of the Company’s employees for total 
payments of approximately $750,000 over the first three months in FY21.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect 
the Company's operations, the results of those operations, or the Company's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations
Refer to 'Review of operations' section above.

committed to compliance with all relevant laws and regulations to ensure the protection of the environment, the community 
and the health and safety of employees.

Commonwealth of Australia or any of its states or territories.

the period covered by this report.

Directors' report

The key responsibility of the RNC is to assist the Board in its oversight of:
●
●
●
●
●

the remuneration framework and policy for executive and employee reward;
the determination of appropriate executive reward, including advice on structure, quantum and mix;
the determination of achievement of performance measures included in any variable remuneration plan;
compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements; and
board size, composition and succession planning.

A full charter outlining the RNC’s responsibilities is available at: www.farmaforce.com.au/corporategovernance/.

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

Non-executive directors' remuneration
The  Board  seeks  to  set  non-executive  directors  fees'  at  a  level  that  enables  the  Company  with  the  ability  to  attract  and 
retain non-executive directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

The  Constitution  of  the  Company  provides  that  non-executive  directors,  other  than  a  Managing  Director  or  an  Executive 
Director, are entitled to director’s fees as determined by the Directors.

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a  general 
meeting.  The  most  recent  determination  was  at  the  Annual  General  Meeting  held  on  25  November  2019,  where  the 
shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $300,000 (including superannuation).

Non-executive  directors'  fees  consist  of  base  fees  and  committee  fees.  The  payment  of  committee  fees  recognises  the 
additional time commitment required by non-executive directors who serve on board committees. Directors who also Chair 
the Audit and Risk Committee ('ARC') is entitled to an additional fee of $5,000 (including superannuation) per annum. The 
Chair of the Board attends all committee meetings but does not receive any additional fees in connection with such role. 
Non-executive directors may be reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in attending to the Company’s affairs. Non-
executive directors do not receive retirement benefits.

The table below sets out the non-executive directors' fees.

Executive remuneration
The Company aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration 
which has both fixed and variable components.

A. Remuneration principles and strategy

In  FY20  the  executive  remuneration  framework  consisted  of  fixed  remuneration  and  short  and  long-term  incentives  as 
outlined below. The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration appropriate to their position, 
responsibilities  and  performance  within  the  Company  and  aligned  with  market  practice.  Remuneration  levels  are 
considered  annually  through  a  remuneration  review,  which  considers  market  data  and  the  performance  of  the  Company 
and the relevant individual.

KPIs are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with KMP. The measures are specifically tailored to the area in 
which  each  individual  is  involved  in  and  has  a  level  of  control  over.  The  KPI’s  target  areas  the  Company  believes  hold 
greater  potential  for  Company  expansion  and  profit,  covering  financial  and  non-financial  as  well  as  short-term  and  long-
term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the Company and respective industry standards.

Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last four 
years. This information is taken into account by the Board when setting the STI and LTI for KMP.

Use of remuneration consultants
During  the  financial  year  ended  30  June  2020,  the  Company  did  not  engage  remuneration  consultants,  to  review  its 
existing remuneration policies and provide recommendations on how to improve both the STI and LTI programs.

Voting and comments made at the Company's 2019 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the 2019 AGM, 99.31% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 
June 2019. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Directors' report
30 June 2020

During  the  financial  year,  the  Company  has  not  paid  a  premium  in  respect  of  a  contract  to  insure  the  auditor  of  the 
Company or any related entity.

responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 28 to the financial statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 28 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
●

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, 
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

●

Officers of the Company who are former partners of BDO Audit Pty Ltd
There are no officers of the Company who are former partners of BDO Audit Pty Ltd.

Auditor's independence declaration
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this Directors' report.

Auditor
BDO Audit Pty Ltd was appointed as auditor during the year and continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The  appointment  follows  the  resignation  of  BDO  East  Coast  Partnership  in  accordance  with  section  329(5)  of  the 
Corporation Act 2001.

This  report  is  made  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  Directors,  pursuant  to  section  298(2)(a)  of  the  Corporations  Act 
2001.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 1. General information

The  financial  statements  cover  Farmaforce  Limited  ('Farmaforce'  or  the  'Company')  as  an  individual  entity.  The  financial 
statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Farmaforce Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Farmaforce  Limited  is  a  listed  public  company  limited  by  shares,  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Australia.  Its  registered 
office and principal place of business is:

Level 9, 85 Castlereagh Street
Sydney, NSW 2000

A  description  of  the  nature  of  the  Company's  operations  and  its  principal  activities  are  included  in  the  Directors'  report, 
which is not part of the financial statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of Directors, on 28 August 2020. The 
Directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective 
notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Company has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Company:

AASB 16 Leases
The  Company  has  adopted  AASB  16  from  1  July  2019.  The  standard  replaces  AASB  117  'Leases'  and  for  lessees 
eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value 
assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-
line  operating  lease  expense  recognition  is  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the  right-of-use  assets  (included  in 
operating  costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liabilities  (included  in  finance  costs).  In  the  earlier 
periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when  compared  to  lease 
expenses  under  AASB  117.  However,  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and  Amortisation)  results 
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification 
within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the 
lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially 
change how a lessor accounts for leases.

Impact of adoption
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such the comparatives have not been restated. A 
new  lease  for  office  space  was  entered  into  in  September  2019  for  which  a  right-of-use  asset  and  lease  liability  was 
recognised of $3,045,125 on 1 September 2019. In November 2019, a new lease was entered into for laptops and mobile 
phones for which the low value exemption has been applied, which allows for the expense to be recognised on a straight 
line  basis.  Since  no  leases  existed  as  at  30  June  2019,  there  was  no  impact  on  opening  accumulated  losses  at  1  July 
2019.

Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax
The Company has adopted Interpretation 23 from 1 July 2019. The interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and 
measurement  requirements  of  AASB  112  'Income  Taxes'  in  circumstances  where  uncertain  tax  treatments  exists.  The 
interpretation  requires:  the  Company  to  determine  whether  each  uncertain  tax  treatment  should  be  treated  separately  or 
together, based on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty; the Company to consider whether it is 
probable  that  a  taxation  authority  will  accept  an  uncertain  tax  treatment;  and  if  the  Company  concludes  that  it  is  not 
probable  that  the  taxation  authority  will  accept  an  uncertain  tax  treatment,  it  shall  reflect  the  effect  of  uncertainty  in 
determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates, measuring 
the tax uncertainty based on either the most likely amount or the expected value. In making the assessment it is assumed 
that a taxation authority will examine amounts it has a right to examine and have full knowledge of all related information 
when making those examinations. Interpretation 23 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such 
comparatives have not been restated. There was no impact of adoption on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2019.

Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as 
appropriate  for  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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 Company'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 3.

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

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Company incurred a loss of $1,680,056 for the year ended 30 June 2020. As 
at  that  date  the  Company  had  net  current  liabilities  of  $3,679,747,  net  liabilities  of  $2,905,353  and  net  operating  cash 
inflows of $2,350,527. The net loss for the period and the net current liability position do prima facie give rise to a material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt of the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern. 

However, the Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company will be able to continue as a 
going concern, after consideration of the following factors:

●

●

●

As reflected in the financial statements, there has been a continued trend of increasing gross margins as teams are 
efficiently utilised. These higher margins are expected to be sustained;
The current liabilities include an amount payable to the parent company of $620,229. The parent company will allow 
these funds to continue to be utilised by the Company as required, hence reducing the current payable component of 
net  liabilities  to  $3,059,518.  The  funding  of  this  amount  will  be  addressed  by  funding  from  increased  margins, 
finalising  payment  agreements  with  the  Australian  Taxation  Office,  and  if  required  funding  from  external  credit 
facilities; and
The Company has an interest free, $4 million working capital loan facility in place with its parent entity The IQ Group 
Global  Ltd  (formerly  iQNovate  Ltd).  The  unused  balance  of  this  facility  as  at  30  June  2020  was  $3,379,771.  The 
parent company will allow these funds to continue to be utilised by the company as required.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to 
adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

The  financial  report  does  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  amounts  or  classification  of  recorded  assets  or 
liabilities that might be necessary if the company were not to operate as a going concern.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
Company's  normal  operating  cycle;  it  is  held  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  trading;  it  is  expected  to  be  realised  within  12 
months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used 
to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating cycle; it is held 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  trading;  it  is  due  to  be  settled  within  12  months  after  the  reporting  period;  or  there  is  no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current.

Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is  recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit.

Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred.

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense.

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position.

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Comparatives
Comparatives have been realigned where necessary, to agree with current year presentation. There was no change in the 
profit or net assets.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory,  have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  Company  for  the  annual  reporting  period  ended  30  June  2020.  The 
Company's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant 
to the Company, are set out below.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)
The  revised  Conceptual  Framework  is  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2020  and 
early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  Conceptual  Framework  contains  new  definition  and  recognition  criteria  as  well  as  new 
guidance  on  measurement  that  affects  several  Accounting  Standards.  Where  the  Company  has  relied  on  the  existing 
framework  in  determining  its  accounting  policies  for  transactions,  events  or  conditions  that  are  not  otherwise  dealt  with 
under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Company may need to review such policies under the revised framework. 
At  this  time,  the  application  of  the  Conceptual  Framework  is  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's 
financial statements.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The  preparation  of  the  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,  that 
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.

COVID-19 pandemic
Judgement  has  been  exercised  in  considering  the  impacts  that  the  COVID-19  pandemic  has  had,  or  may  have,  on  the 
Company  based  on  known  information.  This  consideration  extends  to  the  nature  of  the  products  and  services  offered, 
customers,  supply  chain,  staffing  and  geographic  regions  in  which  the  Company  operates.  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  Company  unfavourably  as  at  the 
reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Income tax
The  Company  is  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement  is  required  in 
determining  the  provision  for  income  tax.  There  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  undertaken  during  the  ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated 
tax  audit  issues  based  on  the  Company's  current  understanding  of  the  tax  law.  Where  the  final  tax  outcome  of  these 
matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the 
period in which such determination is made.

Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Company considers it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Investment in associates
The  Directors  have  assessed  whether  their  equity  investments  between  20%  and  50%  represent  a  significant  influence 
over those companies. In assessing significant influence, the Directors have considered the percentage ownership interest, 
representation  on  the  Board  of  Directors,  the  interchange  of  management  personnel,  and  material  transactions  between 
the entities. Primarily on ownership interest the Directors have concluded that all investments in which the Company owns 
20% interest are regarded as having significant influence and have therefore been equity accounted and disclosures made 
in note 13.

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments
The Company is organised into two operating segments: 1) contract sales and marketing services to external customers: 
and 2) services to related parties. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used 
by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance 
and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments.

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Note 5. Revenue (continued)

Accounting policy for revenue
Revenue  is  recognised  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  Company  is  expected  to  be  entitled  in 
exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Company: identifies the 
contract  with  a  customer;  identifies  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  determines  the  transaction  price  which 
takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the 
separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be 
delivered;  and  recognises  revenue  when  or  as  each  performance  obligation  is  satisfied  in  a  manner  that  depicts  the 
transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, 
rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates 
are  determined  using  either  the  'expected  value'  or  'most  likely  amount'  method.  The  measurement  of  variable 
consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly 
probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

The  measurement  constraint  continues  until  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  subsequently 
resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the 
form of a separate refund liability.

Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed 
price or an hourly rate.

Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Government grants
During  the  year  the  Company  received  payments  from  the  Australian  Government  amounting  to  $50,000  as  part  of  its 
‘Boosting Cash Flow for Employers’ scheme in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These non-tax amounts have been 
recognised  as  government  grants  and  recognised  as  income  once  there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  the  Company  will 
comply with any conditions attached.

Rental recharges
During the year the Company incurred costs relating to rent and utilities at its office location. The recharge represents cost 
recoveries for the provision of the above services to related parties of the Company.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets
Deferred tax  assets  were  not recognised  since utilisation  of the  tax  losses  against  future  taxable  profits are not  deemed 
probable in the foreseeable future (2020: $3,624,605, 2019: $2,932,127).

Accounting policy for income tax
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the  assets  are  recovered  or  liabilities  are  settled,  based  on  those  tax  rates  that  are  enacted  or  substantively  enacted, 
except for:
● When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
nor taxable profits; or

● When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and 
the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future.

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

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is

Note 10. Trade and other receivables (continued)

The  Company  has  assessed  that  the  impact  of  COVID-19  pandemic  on  its  debt  recovery  and  expected  credit  losses  is 
immaterial.

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables
Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 
30 days.

The  Company  has  applied  the  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses,  which  uses  a  lifetime  expected 
loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped by past due date. The expected loss rates 
are  based  on  the  payment  profiles  of  sales  over  a  period  of  36  months  before  30  June  2020  and  the  corresponding 
historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-
looking  information  on  macroeconomic  factors  affecting  the  ability  of  the  customers  to  settle  the  receivables.  Trade 
receivables  are  written-off  when  there  is  no  reasonable  expectation  of  recovery.  Indicators  that  there  is  no  reasonable 
expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company, 
and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 90 days past due.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 13. Investments accounted for using the equity method (continued)

Accounting policy for associates
Associates  are  entities  over  which  the  Company  has  significant  influence  but  not  control  or  joint  control.  Investments  in 
associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the 
associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive 
income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in 
the Company's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of 
the  investment  and  is  neither  amortised  nor  individually  tested  for  impairment.  Dividends  received  or  receivable  from 
associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

When  the  Company's  share  of  losses  in  an  associate  equals  or  exceeds  its  interest  in  the  associate,  including  any 
unsecured  long-term  receivables,  the  Company  does  not  recognise  further  losses,  unless  it  has  incurred  obligations  or 
made payments on behalf of the associate.

The  Company  discontinues  the  use  of  the  equity  method  upon  the  loss  of  significant  influence  over  the  associate  and 
recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value of 
the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

Note 14. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  straight-line  basis  to  write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
over their expected useful lives as follows:

Leasehold improvements
Plant and equipment
Furniture, fittings and equipment

5-10 years
5-10 years
3-20 years

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each  reporting 
date.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, 
whichever is shorter.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
Company. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Additions to the right-of-use assets during the year were $3,045,125. Refer to note 2 - AASB 16 Leases for further details.

The Company leases office equipment under agreements of less than 4 years. These leases are either short-term or low-
value, so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right-of-use assets.

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in 
the  cost  of  inventories,  an  estimate  of  costs  expected  to  be  incurred  for  dismantling  and  removing  the  underlying  asset, 
and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Company expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end 
of  the  lease  term,  the  depreciation  is  over  its  estimated  useful  life.  Right-of  use  assets  are  subject  to  impairment  or 
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Company has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with 
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss 
as incurred.

Accounting policy for intangible assets
Intangible  assets  acquired  are  initially  recognised  at  cost.  Indefinite  life  intangible  assets  are  not  amortised  and  are 
subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less 
amortisation  and  any  impairment.  The  gains  or  losses  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  arising  from  the  derecognition  of 
intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible 
asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of 
consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Website and software
Significant costs associated with the development of the revenue generating aspects of the website, including the capacity 
of placing orders, are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their 
finite life of 3 years.

Significant  costs  associated  with  software  are  deferred  and  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  period  of  their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 3 years.

Refer to note 26 for further information on financial instruments.

Accounting policy for lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present 
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed 
payments  less  any  lease  incentives  receivable,  variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  a  rate,  amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option 
is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend 
on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured 
if  there  is  a  change  in  the  following:  future  lease  payments  arising  from  a  change  in  an  index  or  a  rate  used;  residual 
guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an 
adjustment  is  made  to  the  corresponding  right-of  use  asset,  or  to  profit  or  loss  if  the  carrying  amount  of  the  right-of-use 
asset is fully written down.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in any dividends declared and any proceeds attributable to shareholders 
should the Company be wound up, in proportions that consider both the number of shares held and the extent to which 
those  shares  are  paid  up.  The  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  have  no  par  value  and  the  Company  does  not  have  a  limited 
amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each

There is no current on-market share buy-back.

Loyalty options
The  Company  had  no  loyalty  options  on  issue  exercisable  at  30  June  2020  and  30  June  2019,  as  the  loyalty  options 
outstanding at 20 cents each between 24 to 36 months after the date of admission of the Company’s shares to the Official 
List of the ASX, being 23 October 2015 had expired on 23 October 2018.

Capital risk management
Management control the capital of the Company in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders 
with adequate returns and to ensure that the Company can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. 

The Company’s debt and capital include ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. There 
are no externally imposed capital requirements.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2019 Annual Report.

Accounting policy for 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.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 26. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and 
interest  rate  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.  The  Company'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 
Company.

The Company's policy is not to trade in or use derivatives to hedge its risks.

The  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  oversight  of  the  Company’s  risk 
management framework. The Board of Directors has established the Audit and Risk Committee, which is responsible for 
developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The committee reports to the Board of Directors on 
its activities.

The  Company’s risk management  policies  are  established  to identify and  analyse  the  risk  faced  by  the  Company,  to set 
appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems 
are  reviewed  regularly  to  reflect  changes  in  market  conditions  and  the  Company’s  activities.  The  Company,  through  its 
training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment 
in which all workplace participants understand their roles and obligations.

The  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  has  also  established  a  Finance  Committee,  consisting  of  senior  executives  of  the 
Company,  which  meets  on  a  regular  basis  to  analyse  financial  risk  exposure  and  to  evaluate  treasury  management 
strategies  in  the  context  of  the  most  recent  economic  conditions  and  forecasts.  The  Finance  Committee’s  overall  risk 
management  strategy  seeks  to  assist  the  Company  in  meeting  its  financial  targets,  whilst  minimising  potential  adverse 
effects on financial performance. The Finance Committee operates under policies approved by the Board of Directors.

Market risk

Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.

The  Company  does  not  have  any  foreign  currency  risk  as  it  does  not  have  any  future  commercial  transactions  and 
recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency other than its functional currency.

Price risk
The Company is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk
At the reporting date, the Company had no interest bearing financial liabilities other than the amount payable to Australian 
Tax Office ('ATO').

Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.

No sensitivity analysis has been performed for the exposure to interest rate risk on the Company's bank balance as the 
exposure is not significant.

Credit risk
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
Company. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, 
net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the 
financial statements. The Company does not hold any collateral.

The  Company  has  adopted  a  lifetime  expected  loss  allowance  in  estimating  expected  credit  losses  to  trade  receivables 
through  the  use  of  a  provisions  matrix  using  fixed  rates  of  credit  loss  provisioning.  These  provisions  are  considered 
representative  across  all  customers  of  the  Company  based  on  recent  sales  experience,  historical  collection  rates  and 
forward-looking information that is available.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 26. Financial instruments (continued)

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include 
the  failure  of  a  debtor  to  engage  in  a  repayment  plan,  no  active  enforcement  activity  and  a  failure  to  make  contractual 
payments for a period greater than 1 year.

Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Refer to note 
10 for commentary on trade and other receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents
The  Company  held  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  $593,832  at  30  June  2020  (2019:  $172,370).  The  cash  and  cash 
equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated AA- to AA+, based on rating agency 
Standard and Poor’s ratings.

Liquidity risk
Vigilant  liquidity  risk  management  requires  the  Company  to  maintain  sufficient  liquid  assets  (mainly  cash  and  cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The  Company  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  cash  reserves  and  available  borrowing  facilities  by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 
Refer to note 19 for unused financing arrangements.

Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables 
have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the 
financial liabilities are required to be paid.

Shares issued
The  Company  issued  690,000  shares  at  $0.14  per  share  under  the  Employee  Benefits  Plan.  The  share-based  payment 
expense recognised during the year ended 30 June 2020 was $96,600 (2019: $nil).

Performance rights
The  share-based  payment  expense  recognised  during  the  year  ended  30  June  2020  was  $391,412  (2019:  $5,000).  The 
share-based payment expense recognised includes GBS Inc. shares awarded to staff from GBS Inc. (a related party of the 
Company) for an amount of $258,000.

Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.

Equity-settled  transactions  are  awards  of  shares,  options  or  performance  rights  over  shares,  that  are  provided  to 
employees in exchange for the rendering of services.

These compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Employee Benefits Plan ('EBP'), unless otherwise stated. 
Under  the  EBP  directors  and  employees  may  be  awarded  options  and  performance  rights  to  acquire  shares  of  the 
Company. The object of the EBP is to help the Company recruit, reward, retain and motivate its directors and employees. 
Further under the EBP, after 12 months of service an employee will annually receive a lot of shares based on an agreed 
quantity  per  their  individual  employment  contract.  The  shares  granted  under  the  EBP  will  vest  after  an  employee  has 
served a further 3 years after receiving rights to the shares.

The fair value of equity-settled share-based payments is recognised as an expense proportionally over the vesting period 
with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of instruments is calculated under the grant date model where the 
Company  measures  the  fair  value  of  a  share-based  payment  award  issued  to  an  employee  on  the  grant  date  and 
recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to shares.

The  fair  value  is  calculated  at  grant  date  as  the  fair  value  of  each  share  granted  multiplied  by  the  number  of  shares 
expected  to  eventually  vest.  There  is  a  service  condition  (non-market  vesting  condition)  which  is  taken  into  account  by 
adjusting the number of shares which will eventually vest and are not taken into account in the determination of the grant 
date fair value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of FarmaForce Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of FarmaForce Limited (the Company), which comprises the
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the
year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting
policies, and the directors’ declaration.

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

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; 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
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence
Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

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

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Company may be unable to realise
its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO

For personal use only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 as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.

For personal use onlyOther information

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

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

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

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

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 Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
