Review of operations

Your Directors submit their report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015. 

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to report that the Company achieved a Net Profit after Tax in excess of $1m in a very 

challenging and transformational year. 

Last year’s Annual General Meeting outlined the Company’s initiative to move to a cloud-based services 

model (Software-as-a-Service / SaaS).  Whilst the Company is part way through this transition from an 

On-Premises model to SaaS model, early indications are that the take up is being well received. Providing 

the Company’s solutions as a Cloud service, is enabling healthcare businesses to realise significant 

improvements and reduce the costs associated with running their businesses. The SaaS model is also 

presenting opportunities for the Company on an international level.

The Company’s acquisition of healthcare software vendor Abaki Pty Ltd announcement in July 2015, has 

extended the Company’s offering in the healthcare sector, whilst bolstering its development and support 

capability with an offshore centre in Vietnam.

The Company is also progressing its legal action against SA Health for breaches of contract and 

infringements of copyright by the State of South Australia, arising from the State’s continuing use of the 

Company’s Chiron Patient Administration System software and Harmony Financial System software after the 

State’s licence to use expired on 31 March 2015.  These events impacted the Company’s gross revenue and 

corresponding net profit for the full year. 

Thanks again to all our employees and my fellow Board Members for their loyalty and ongoing commitment 

to the achievement of the Company’s goals.

As always, the Board continues to look for ways to grow shareholder value and we also thank you,  

our shareholders, for your continued support.

Yours faithfully,

Steven Leigh Pynt 

Non-Executive Chairman

FINANCIAL SUMMARY 

Your Directors submit their report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015. The Previous Corresponding 

Period (PCP) for this report is the twelve months to 30 June 2014. 

Summary

 ·   Increasing customer base across MasterCare ePAS, MasterCare EMR and ReferralNet

 ·   Over 500 new customers further reducing reliance on few bulky clients

 ·   Net Profit After Tax of $1,059,907

 ·   EPS of 3.24 cents per share in line with guidance announced in November 2014

Operational Review

The Company’s core Operational Revenue is 

derived from the sale of software licences and 

annual subscriptions to:

 ·   Overnight and Day Hospitals (the acute or 

Hospital sector) and,

 ·   Specialists, General Practitioners, 

Community Health and Allied Health 

Providers (the non-acute or Community 

sector).

Hospital Segment Customers

Customers operating in the Hospital segment are those that use the Company’s Patient Administration 

System (PAS) to manage patient workflow from pre-admission through to discharge including the 

management of beds, theatres, medical records, billing and receipting. 

During the reporting period, the final remaining contract for the use of the Company’s superseded CHIRON 

PAS expired on 31 March 2015. This contract provided for the use of CHIRON PAS at 68 public hospitals 

across South Australia.

Over the reporting period, the Company implemented MasterCare ePAS (enhanced Patient Administration 

System) at four new private hospitals consolidating its position as a leading provider of Hospital PAS 

systems to the private sector in Australia. 

The maturity of the Company’s MasterCare ePAS and the focus on software as a subscription commodity 

has resulted in lower average revenue per client because of the minimal customisation and implementation 

services. In combination with the conclusion of the 20-year legacy contract with SA Health in this reporting 

period, overall revenue from Hospital customers decreased by $943,338 (-36%). 

The 36% revenue decline resulted in a 9% drop in operating margins for this segment, to a 70% operating 

margin pre-R&D (PCP: 79%). This ratio validates the Company’s ‘commodity subscription’ model and augers 

well for a strong earnings contribution in the future as new customers are acquired.

Community Segment Customers

Customers operating in this segment are those that use the Company’s ReferralNet connectivity platform 

and MasterCare clinical and practice management systems in community settings. 

Revenue from this segment grew by approximately 9% with MasterCare and ReferralNet both contributing 

equally to the growth. The growth was lower than normal due to a major re-organisation of community 

health services by the Commonwealth effective from 1 July 2015. This uncertainty inhibited new buying 

decisions from Community Health providers due to the heavy involvement of the public sector in this 

segment. 

Operations related to the Community Segment delivered a 43% (PCP: 51%) operating margin excluding 

R&D. The reduction in margins is largely through the initiation of ‘freemium’, try-before-you-buy models 

of customer acquisition which provide a risk-free trial period to new customers who are converted to paid 

(‘premium’) subscriptions in future periods.

Earnings and Margins

Operating expenses decreased by $278,791 

(-8.4%) over the reporting period with staffing 

levels maintained at around 30 full-time 

equivalents. 

The Company’s EBITDA Margin reduced by 

5% to 27% while NPAT (Net Profit After Tax)

margins reduced by 4% to an acceptable 

23%. This represents Earnings Per Share 

(EPS) of 3.24 cents for the reporting period.

Financial Position

At 30 June 2015, the Company had Net 

Assets of $3,628,006 – an improvement of 

$952,954 from 30 June 2014. Closing cash 

plus Net Receivables was down $189,522 

(-20%) to $762,004.

The major current liability is represented by 

Unearned Income of $1,029,282 representing 

non-refundable Annual Licence Fees (ALFs) 

paid in advance. 

In addition to a ‘Right-to-Use’ Licence, the 

ALF entitles customers to help desk services, 

software updates and upgrades and is 

consequently recognised as pro-rata revenue 

at the end of each month. 

Other than the remaining balance of short to 

medium term funding for the new head office 

fit-out of $67,923, the Company has no debt.

FORWARD OUTLOOK

In line with market trends, the Company is mid-way through a transition from higher-priced, customised 
product, and process intensive project implementation services to a more volume-based, commodity model 
based on Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) products delivered as a managed, cloud service (‘Software-as-a-
Service/SaaS’). 

The SaaS model reduces the reliance on few high-value clients requiring physical proximity, to a broader 
base of lower-value, remote clients that can access commodity-based software as a service, with no or 
minimal implementation services. 

This model will provide improved margins over the long term as scale is achieved. 

The transition from high-value On-Premises to Software as a Service is targeted to be completed by 2017.

In support of the longer-term growth objectives, the Company continues to invest approximately 20% of 
total revenue to the research and development of a connected healthcare eco-system that is consumer 
centric and offered as a Software Service in the Cloud, across multiple devices.

The provision of integrated Cloud applications that connect clinicians and consumers is based on 
‘Streamlining the Patient Journey’. This is the focus of our R&D activity with the initial early adopter in the 
community segment implemented in May 2015. 

Three additional early adopters in the hospital segment are in various states of implementation as the next 
phase which will trial further functionality and features. 

Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with considerable productivity gains, improved decision-
support and enhanced user experiences for all stakeholders - administrators, clinicians and patients. These 
pilot projects will integrate our MasterCare Health Provider platform to our LifeCard Patient platform and 
ReferralNet connectivity platform offering customers a single comprehensive technology partner for the 
emerging connected healthcare eco-system. 

Standards-based Inter-connectivity is inherent across all Global Health products enabling our customers to 
seamlessly integrate to best-of-breed and pre-existing software investments. 

Over the past 15 months, the Company has commenced business development activities overseas with an 
initial focus on our ASEAN neighborhood. In July, the Company announced the acquisition of Abaki Pty Ltd 
- a well-regarded Australian healthcare software vendor with over 400 customers and offshore development 
and support capability in Vietnam. 

The provision of integrated Cloud applications extends the Company’s sales reach to the global marketplace 
and significant new revenue opportunities in subsequent years.

REMUNERATION REPORT

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

Remuneration of Directors and key management personnel of the Company is established by the Board. 
Remuneration is determined as part of an annual performance review, having regard to market factors and 
a performance evaluation process. The remuneration framework is designed to align executive reward with 
achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value of shareholders, and conforms to market best 
practice for delivery of reward. For Directors and executives, remuneration packages generally comprise 
salary and superannuation. Executives are also provided with longer-term incentives through the employee 
share and share option schemes, which act to align the executive’s actions with the interests of the 
shareholders. Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to performance-based bonuses.

The Board meets annually to review its own performance. The Chairman also holds individual discussions 
with each Director to discuss their performance. The Non-executive Directors are responsible for evaluating 
the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, who in turn evaluates the performance of all other senior 
executives. These evaluations are based on specific criteria, including the Group’s business performance 
and achievement of turnover and NPAT (Net Profit After Tax) targets, whether long-term strategic objectives 
are being achieved and the achievement of individual performance objectives.

 ·   Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration 

Fees and payments to Non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the 
responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by 
the Board to ensure all payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The maximum amount 
of remuneration as determined by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 24 
November 2009 is $350,000 per annum which may be divided among Non-executive Directors in the 
manner determined by the Board from time to time. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently 
to the fees of Non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in similar sized companies and 
sectors in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination 
of his own remuneration.

 ·   Executive Directors’ remuneration 

The Executive Directors’ salary and conditions are determined by the Board of Directors and reviewed 
at the expiry of each contract period.

 ·   Executive remuneration  

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. 
Base pay for senior executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with 
the market. There is no guaranteed base pay increases included in any senior executive’s contract.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES OR AUDITORS

During or since the end of the financial year, the Group has not, in any respect for any person who is or has 

been an officer or director of the parent entity or a related body corporate, indemnified or made any relevant 

agreement for indemnifying against a liability, including costs and expenses in successfully defending legal 

proceedings.

During or since the end of the financial year the Group has paid premiums in respect of a contract insuring 

the Directors and officers of all companies in the Group against a liability incurred in their role as Directors 

and officers of all companies within the Group except where:

i.   The liability arises out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty; or

ii.  There has been a contravention of Sections 232(5) or (6) of the Corporations Act 2001.

The total amount of premiums paid by the Group for Directors and Officers Liability Insurance was $24,171 

(2014: $31,948).

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Working Systems Software Pty Ltd commenced legal 

proceedings against the Crown in right of the State of South Australia by filing originating process in the 

Adelaide Registry of the Federal Court of Australia on 11 June 2015. Working Systems Software Pty Ltd 

claims breaches of contract and infringements of copyright by the State of South Australia, arising from 

the State’s continuing use of the Company’s Chiron Patient Administration System software and Harmony 

Financial System software after the State’s licence to use expired on 31 March 2015. Working Systems 

is seeking damages, declarations and a permanent injunction restraining the State from continuing to use 

Chiron and Harmony. The South Australian Minister for Health has indicated the State’s intention to rely upon 

the Crown’s compulsory licensing regime for Commonwealth and State governments under the Copyright 

Act 1968 (Cth) which Working Systems contends does not apply to computer programs.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Group had a need to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties as 

detailed in Note 23.

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with 

the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are 

satisfied that the services disclosed in Note 23 did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for 

the following reasons:

-   all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors prior to the commencement 

to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

-   the nature of the services provided does not compromise the general principles relating to auditor 

independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the 

Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

As the operations of the Group are limited to computer software development and support and professional 

consulting services, the Group has minimal involvement in and exposure to environmental risks and issues. 

The Group is not required to comply with any specific Act.

In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the Directors of 

the Company support and have adhered to the principles to the extent outlined in the corporate governance 

statement. The Company’s corporate governance statement is contained in a separate section of this  

Annual Report.

Corporate 
Governance Statement

Global Health Limited (the Company) and the Board are committed to achieving and demonstrating the  

highest standards of corporate governance. Accordingly, unless stated otherwise in this document,  

the Board’s corporate governance arrangements comply with the recommendations of the ASX Corporate 

Governance Council (including the 2014 amendments) as well as current standards of best practice for  

the entire financial year ended 30 June 2015.

The Company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the Group in this statement.

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the corporate governance of the Group. The Directors 

are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Group in both the short and the longer term and 

seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of the Group as a whole. The Board is also 

responsible for setting the strategic direction and establishing the policies of the Group. The focus is to enhance 

the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly managed.

Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy 

initiatives are formally delegated by the Board to the Managing Director and senior executives.

A description of the Company’s main corporate governance practices is set out below. All these practices, 

unless otherwise stated, were in place for the entire year.

Global Health Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Accordingly, unless 

stated otherwise in this document, the Board’s corporate governance arrangements comply with the 

recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council (including the 2014 amendments) as well as 

current standards of best practice for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2015.

Ethical Standards

The Board is committed to its core governance values of integrity, respect, trust and openness among and 

between board members, management, employees, customers and suppliers. These values are enshrined 

in the Board’s Code of Conduct policy.

The Code of Conduct policy requires all directors, management and employees to, at all times:

 ·   act honestly and in good faith;

 ·   exercise due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office;

 ·   avoid conflicts and make full disclosure of any possible conflict of interest;

 ·   comply with both the letter and spirit of the law;

 ·   encourage the reporting and investigation of unlawful and unethical behaviour; and

 ·   comply with the share trading policy outlined in the Code of Conduct.

Directors are obliged to be independent in judgment and ensure all reasonable steps are taken to ensure that 

the Board’s core governance values are not compromised in any decisions the Board makes.

Diversity Policy

Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Company is 

committed to diversity and recognises the benefits arising from employee and Board diversity and the 

importance of benefiting from all available talent. 

The policy outlines requirements for the Board to develop measurable objectives for achieving diversity, 

and annually assess both objectives and the progress in achieving those objectives. As Director and senior 

executive positions become vacant and appropriately qualified candidates become available, the Board has 

developed the following objectives:

 ·   Achieve a diverse and skilled workforce leading to continuous improvement;

 ·   The development of clear criteria for behavioural expectations in relation to promoting diversity in the 

work environment;

 ·   Ensure that personnel responsible for recruitment take diversity issues into account when considering 

vacancies;

 ·   Create a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse 

backgrounds, experiences and perspectives; 

 ·   Create awareness in all employees of their rights and responsibilities with regards to fairness, equity 

and respect for all aspects of diversity

The Board believes it has been successful in implementing these objectives throughout the Company’s 

workforce and continues to monitor and assess the Company’s efforts in this regard.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

There were four directors on the Board at any one time throughout the year. Of these, three were non-

executive directors and one was executive director – the latter being the Managing Director/Chief Executive 

Officer. Each year one-third of directors and any director (excluding the Managing Director) who has held 

office for three years or three annual general meetings (whichever is longer) must retire from office. A retiring 

director is eligible to seek re-election if so minded.

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each director who is in office at the date of the 

Annual Report and their term of office are detailed in the Directors’ Report. The Board strives to achieve a mix 

of commercial, financial, legal, management, health industry and IT skills and experience among its members.

The composition of the Board is determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:

 ·   The Board should comprise at least three Directors and should maintain a majority of independent and 

Non-executive Directors;

 ·   The Chairman must be an independent and Non-executive Director;

 ·   The roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman must not be performed by the same individual;

 ·   The Board should comprise Directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and

 ·   The Board shall meet regularly and have available all necessary information to participate in an informed 

discussion of all agenda items.

When considering potential candidates for directorship, the Board assesses qualified professionals and 

experienced business people in industry. The Company does not engage any consultants to source potential 

Board members, but relies on the Directors’ industry contacts to identify potential candidates based on an 

individual’s professional and business reputation, health care services industry experience and other areas 

of expertise. The Company seeks to maintain a diverse range of members of the Board by having only one 

director drawn from any one professional background at any one time.

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

Non-executive Director

Mr R Knowles AO

Non-executive Director

There are three Non-executive Directors who are deemed independent under the principles set out below, 

and one Executive Director, at the date of signing the Directors’ Report. 

The Board seeks to ensure that:

 ·   At any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between Directors with 
experience and knowledge of the Group and Directors with an external or fresh perspective. 

 ·   The size of the Board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision-making.

As a Board, the Directors need to provide the following skills and knowledge:

 ·   A balance of proven expertise, diverse skills and experience in commerce, finance, health care 

innovation and other areas where software technology can improve the experience of consumers and 

providers of health care services

 ·   Understanding of the roles, duties and responsibilities of directors under the Corporations Act

 ·   Leadership skills, experience making decisions at the highest levels, strategic thinking and long-term 

planning abilities

 ·   An understanding of current issues affecting the Australian health care industry in particular, and in 

general a wider understanding of international medical and technological trends in health care provision 

and consumption

 ·   Flexible, consultative and innovative approaches to communicating and achieving corporate goals

 ·   A passion for and strong commitment to the success of the activities of Global Health Limited

As Global Health Limited has a relatively small Board, the full Board acts as a nomination committee  

and reviews Board memberships including an assessment of necessary and desirable competencies, 

particularly in consideration of appointments and removals.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ INDEPENDENCE

The Board has adopted specific principles in relation to Non-Executive Directors’ independence. These state 
that to be deemed independent, a Director must be a Non-executive and;

 ·   Not be a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, 

a substantial shareholder of the Company.

 ·   Within the last three years, not have been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or any

otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer.

 ·   Must have no material contractual relationship with the Company or a controlled entity other than as a

TRADING POLICY

Directors are subject to the Corporations Act 2001 relative to restrictions applying to acquiring and disposing 

of securities of the Company, if they are in possession of information which is not generally available, and 

which, if generally available, a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the 

securities of the Company. 

The Company’s policy restricts Directors and employees from acting on material information until it has been 

released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the security’s prices. 

CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO)

The Chairman is responsible for leading the Board, ensuring Directors are properly briefed in all matters 

relevant to their role and responsibilities, facilitating Board discussions and managing the Board’s relationship 

with the Company’s senior executives. 

The CEO is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. The Board charter specifies that 

these are separate roles to be undertaken by separate people.

COMMITMENT

The Board held five Board meetings during the year. 

The number of meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors and of each Board committee held during 

the year ended 30 June 2015, and the number of meetings attended by each Director is disclosed in the 

Directors’ Report. 

The three Non-executive Directors meet during the year, in scheduled sessions without the presence of 

management, to discuss the operation of the Board and a range of other matters. Relevant matters arising 

from this meeting was shared with the full Board. 

It is the Company’s practice to allow its Executive Directors to accept appointments outside the Company 

with prior written approval of the Board. 

Prior to appointment or being submitted to for re-election, each Non-executive Director is required to 

specifically acknowledge that they have and will continue to have the time available to discharge their 

responsibilities to the Company. 

CORPORATE REPORTING 

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have made the following certifications to the Board:

 ·   that the Group’s financial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, 

of the financial condition and operational results of the Group and are in accordance with relevant 

accounting standards; and

 ·   that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance 

and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board and that the Group’s risk management 

and internal compliance and control is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board has established an audit committee which acts in accordance with its charter. The audit 

committee consists of the following Non-executive Directors: 

  Mr S L Pynt  

  Mr G Smith

Due to the small number of Board members, the Board has agreed to allow the audit committee to be made 

up of two independent non-executive Directors. Details of these Directors’ qualifications and attendance at 

audit committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report. 

The audit committee has appropriate financial expertise and all members are financially literate and have an 

appropriate understanding of the industries in which the Group operates. The audit committee has authority, 

within the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any information it requires from any employee or external party. 

It is the committee’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within 

the Group. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant 

business processes. This includes the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records 

and the reliability of financial information.

REMUNERATION

The Board does not have a separate remuneration committee due to the small number of Board members. 

Consequently the issue of remuneration is under the control of the Board which has the responsibility of 

reviewing and approving remuneration of the Non-Executive Chairman and other executives of the Group. 

Remuneration levels will be competitively set to attract the most qualified and experienced Directors and 

senior executives. Where necessary the Board may obtain independent advice on the appropriateness of 

remuneration packages and obtain any necessary shareholder approvals. The amount of remuneration for  

all Directors is detailed in the Directors’ Report section. 

Payment of equity-based executive remuneration is made in accordance with thresholds set in plans 

approved by shareholders. The Board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the 

Company being able to attract and retain the best executives to run the Group. It will also provide executives 

with the necessary incentives to work to grow long term shareholder value.

MONITORING OF THE BOARD’S PERFORMANCE

The Board has adopted a code of conduct for Directors in keeping with the Company’s desire to remain  

a good corporate citizen and appropriately balance, protect and preserve all stakeholders’ interests.

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner,  

the Chairman reviews the performance of all Directors annually.

COMMUNICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Board aims to ensure that the shareholders, on behalf of whom they act, are informed of all information 

necessary to assess the performance of the economic entity. Information is communicated to the 

shareholders through:

-   the Annual Report which is distributed to all shareholders;

-    the Annual General Meeting and other meetings called to obtain approval for Board action as appropriate;

-   regular release of media and market updates to the ASX; and

-   the Company’s website: www.global-health.com.

The Company Secretary is the person responsible for communications with the Australian Stock Exchange 

(ASX). This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements 

in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and coordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, 

brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the 

ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, the materials used in the presentation 

are released to the ASX and posted on the Company’s website. 

All shareholders are entitled to receive a copy of the Company’s annual and half yearly reports. In addition, 

the Company seeks to provide opportunities for shareholders to participate through electronic means. 

Initiatives to facilitate this include making all Company announcements, media briefings, details of Company 

meetings, press releases for the last three years and financial reports for the last three years available on the 

Company’s website. The website also includes an option for shareholders to register their email address for 

direct email updates on Company matters. 

INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

Each Director is entitled to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company in carrying 

out his duties as a Director. Prior to obtaining such advice, if at the expense of the economic entity, the 

Chairman will be advised of the matter and an estimate of the cost.

Notes to the 
Financial Statements

Global Health Limited and its controlled entities is a for-profit company domiciled in Australia. The financial 

statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2015.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s 

functional and presentation currency.

The separate financial statements and notes of the parent entity, Global Health Limited, have not been 

presented within this financial report as permitted by amendments made to the Corporations Act 2001.  

The parent entity summary is included in Note 32.

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These 

policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial 

statements cover Global Health Limited and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity (‘Group’). Global 

Health Limited is a for-profit public listed company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of 

the financial report.

(a)  Basis of preparation

  This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 

Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 

Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

  Compliance with IFRSs

  Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of Global 

Health Limited and its controlled entities comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). 

  Historical cost convention

  These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are also 

prepared on an accruals basis.

  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

  The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical 

knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future 

events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

N O T E S   T O   T H E   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

36

 
 
 
  Key estimates

(i) 

Impairment

    The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and 

events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts 

of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key 

assumptions.

    With respect to cash flow projections in Australia and overseas, modest growth rates have been 

factored into valuation models for the next five years on the basis of management’s expectations 

around the Group’s continued ability to capture market share from competitors. 

  Key judgments

(i)  Provision for Impairment of Receivables

Provision for impairment of trade receivables has been included in Note 6 Receivables.

(b)  Principles of Consolidation

  A controlled entity is any entity that Global Health Limited has the power to control the financial and 

operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to 

govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.

  A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 19 to the financial statements. All controlled entities 

have a June financial year end.

  As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the 

consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled 

entities have entered (left) the Group during the year, their operating results have been included 

(excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).

  All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised 

profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 

changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

  Non-controlling interests, being that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries 

attributable to equity interests held by persons outside the Group, are shown separately within the 

equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated statement of 

profit or loss.

  Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and 

results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. A business combination is accounted for by 

applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under 

common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the 

combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (ie parent entity). The business combination will 

be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained 

by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject 

to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

N O T E S   T O   T H E   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

37

 
 
 
In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been 

incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.

  The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill. The method adopted for the measurement 

of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the 

acquiree where less than 100% ownership is held in the acquiree.

  The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the 

acquisition date fair value of any previously-held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment. 

Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the 

acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.

  Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of profit or loss. 

Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had been previously been recognised in other 

comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a 

contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is 

classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. 

Rights to refunds or consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to 

initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent 

settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability 

is re-measured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of profit or loss and other 

comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. 

  All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of 

profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

  The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the 

acquisition date fair value of any previously-held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment. 

Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the 

acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.

  Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of profit or loss. 

Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had been previously been recognised in other 

comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a 

contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is 

classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. 

Rights to refunds or consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to 

initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent 

settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability 

is re-measured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of profit or loss and other 

comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. 

  All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of 

profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(c)  Impairment of non-financial assets

  At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to 

determine whether there is any 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. In assessing value in use, the estimated 

future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current 

market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the 

estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

  Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of 

profit or loss and other comprehensive income.  

(d)  Revenue Recognition

  Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as 

revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue 

is recognised for the major business activities as follows:

  Sales Revenue

  Sales revenue comprises revenue earned (net of returns, discount and allowances) from the provision 

of products or services to entities outside the consolidated entity. Sales revenue is categorised and 

recognised as follows:

 ·

Initial Licence Fees and Upgrade Fees 

Initial Licence Fees and Upgrade Fees are brought to account on the earlier of:

    1.  The date of signing the contract or agreement or;

    2.  The date stipulated in the executed contract or agreement. 

  The entity is able to recognise the revenue when the significant risks of ownership are transferred 

from the entity to the buyer and one of the above conditions is met.

 · Maintenance Fees

  Maintenance fees are a non-refundable deferred revenue stream. Clients subscribe to their 

licences in advance – ranging from monthly, quarterly, half-yearly to annual payments. They are 

proportionally accrued in arrears, at the end of each month. These entitle the customer to a usage 

licence, help desk telephone support and rights to extended warranty and product enhancements.

 · Professional Services

  Professional services are brought to account on the issue of invoice on completion of work that 

may be performed on a time and materials or a project milestone basis. This includes work done in 

the health and non-health segments.

  Grants

  Grant monies are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the consolidated entity will comply 

with the conditions attaching to it, and that the grant will be received. Receipt of a grant does not of itself 

provide conclusive evidence that the conditions attaching to the grant have been or will be fulfilled.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

39

 
 
 
  Rent recharge

  Revenue received from the sub-let of office premises is recognised monthly.

Interest Income

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

  Asset Sales

  The net profit or loss on asset sales is included as revenue of the consolidated entity. The profit or loss 

on disposal of assets is brought to account at the date an unconditional contract of sale is signed.

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

(e)  Goods and services tax

  Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST), 

except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). 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 are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST 

recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement  

of financial position.

  Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of  

cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to,  

the Australian Taxation Office are classified as operating cash flow.

(f)  Income Tax

  The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income 

based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and 

liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their 

carrying values in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 

recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered 

or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are substantially enacted for each jurisdiction. The 

relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences 

arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in 

relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination,  

that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

  Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 

probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

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

in equity.

  Tax consolidation legislation 

  Global Health Limited and its wholly-owned Australian entities have implemented the tax consolidation 

legislation. These were formally adopted on lodgement of the 2004 income tax returns.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

N O T E S   T O   T H E   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

40

 
 
 
 
  On forming a tax consolidated group, Global Health Limited is now responsible for recognising the 

deferred tax assets relating to tax losses for the Tax Consolidated Group. The Tax Consolidated Group has 

entered into a tax-sharing agreement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax 

payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the Tax Consolidated Group.

(g)  Intangible assets

  Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. 

Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will 

deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

  The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are 

directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and capitalised borrowing costs.  

Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

  Capitalised development costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated 

impairment losses.

  Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future 

economic benefits over the useful life of the project which is 10 years. 

(h)  Plant and Equipment

  Cost and valuation

  Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and furniture and fittings are carried at cost.

  Asset are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include 

purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and 

restoring the asset, where applicable.

  Depreciation

  Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and furniture and fittings of the consolidated entity are 

depreciated on a diminishing value basis. Rates of depreciation are calculated to allocate the cost, less 

estimated residual value at the end of the useful lives of the assets.

  The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Asset

Leasehold Improvements

Plant & Equipment

Furniture and Fittings

Motor Vehicles

Diminishing Value (%)

25 - 35

27 - 40

13

22.5

  The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each 

reporting period. 

  An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets’ 

carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

  Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 

gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

N O T E S   T O   T H E   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

41

 
 
(i)  Trade Receivables

  Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 

using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due 

for settlement within 30 days.

  Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be 

uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision 

for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be 

able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial 

difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, 

and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the 

trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the 

asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original 

effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of 

discounting is immaterial.

  The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss within other 

expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes 

uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent 

recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against general and administrative expenses in 

the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(j)  Foreign Currency

  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 Australian dollars, which is Global Health 

Limited’s functional and presentation currency. 

  Translation of controlled foreign entities 

  The results and financial position of all the Group entities (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 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 as a separate component of equity.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

N O T E S   T O   T H E   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

42

 
 
 
  On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, 

and borrowings and other currency instruments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation 

is sold or borrowings repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the 

statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

  Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and 

liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

(k)  Leases

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

substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

  Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Group, substantially all of the risks and benefits 

incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease 

payments and amortised over the period the Group is expected to benefit from the use of the leased 

assets. Operating lease payments, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and 

benefits of ownership of the leased items, are included in the determination of the operating profit or 

loss in equal instalments over the lease term.

(l)  Employee Benefits

  Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of salaries and wages, annual leave and 

long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being 

measured reliably.

  Wages, Salaries & Annual Leave

  Liabilities arising in respect of wages, salaries, annual leave and other employee benefits expected to 

be settled within 12 months represent the amount which the Group has a present obligation to pay 

resulting from employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. Liabilities have been calculated at 

the amounts expected to apply at the time of settlement. On-costs are included in this amount.

  Long Service Leave

  The liability for employee benefits to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated 

future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees’ services provided up to 

the reporting date.

  Liabilities for employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within twelve months are 

discounted using the rates attaching to national government securities at reporting date, which most 

closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities.

In determining the liability for long service leave, consideration has been given to future increases in 

wage and salary rates, and the Group’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also 

been included in the liability.

  Share-based payments

  Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Company’s Employee Option 

Plan and an employee share scheme. Information relating to these schemes is set out in Note 27. 

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

43

 
 
 
  The fair value of options granted under the Company’s Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee 

benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and 

recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.

  The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into 

account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact 

of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price 

volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term 

of the option.

  The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions 

(for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in 

assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting 

date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. 

The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. 

Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those 

options is transferred to share capital.

  The market value of shares issued to employees for no cash consideration under the employee share 

scheme is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity when 

the employees become entitled to the shares. 

(m) Accounts Payable

  Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or 

not billed to the Group. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

(n)  Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

  Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the 

entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted 

for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

  Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is 

not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instrument classified as 

at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are 

classified and measured as set out below.

  Effective interest rate method

  The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of 

allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly 

discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets, or, where 

appropriate, a shorter period.

Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments other than those financial 

assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’.

  Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for 

the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or 

designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a 

group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance 

with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses 

arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Loans and receivables  

  Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are 

not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

Held-to-maturity investments 

  These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to 

maturity. Held-to-maturity investments held by the Group are stated at amortised cost using the effective 

interest rate method.

Available-for-sale financial assets 

  Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that 

are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities 

where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. They are held at fair value with 

changes in fair value taken through the financial assets reserve directly to other comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities 

  Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at 

amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

  Fair value 

  Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are 

applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, 

reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment of financial assets

  At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial 

instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant or 

prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has 

arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

  The carrying amount of financial assets including uncollectible trade receivables is reduced by the 

impairment loss through the use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously 

written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance 

account are recognised in profit or loss.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

45

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of 

the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after 

the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit 

or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does 

not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, any subsequent increase in fair value after an 

impairment loss is recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

  Financial Guarantees

  Where material, financial guarantees issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to 

reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, 

are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. The guarantee is subsequently 

measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, 

when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118 Revenue. Where the entity 

gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118.

  The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using the probability weighted 

discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on:

 ·

 ·

the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a 12-month period;

the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party 

defaulting; and

 ·

the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.

  Derecognition 

  Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset 

is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in 

the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related 

obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the 

financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, 

including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.

(o)  Contributed Equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by Global Health 

Limited.

  Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a 

reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

46

 
 
 
 
(p)  Earnings Per Share

  Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as the net result attributable to members, adjusted to 

exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of 

ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

    Diluted EPS is calculated as the net result attributable to members, adjusted for: 

 · Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

 · The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that 

have been recognised as expenses; and

 · Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from 

the dilution of potential ordinary shares;

  divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, 

adjusted for any bonus element.

(q)  Cash and cash equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other 

short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities with three months or less that are readily 

convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(r)  Going Concern

  At 30 June 2015, the Company reported an EBITDA profit of $1,226,299 (2014: $1,659,486). A net 

asset surplus of $3,628,006 (2014: $2,675,052) and a net current asset deficiency of $512,307  

(2014: $379,795) was also recorded. 

  This net current asset deficiency is primarily represented by unearned revenue of $1,029,282.  

Unearned revenue comprises annual subscriptions (licence to use, help desk telephone support, 

rights to enhancements and extended warranties) paid in advance but recognised monthly. These 

subscriptions in advance are not subject to refunds or cancellation but do incur an obligation by the 

Group to provide monthly help-desk and warranty services. The reporting of unearned revenue on  

the Company’s balance sheet has always been shown and is a normal business operation.

  The Board believes it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

(s)  Comparatives

  When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to 

changes in presentation for the current financial year. Comparatives are consistent with prior years, 

unless otherwise stated.

G L O B A L   H E A L T H   L I M I T E D   C O N S O L I D A T E D   E N T I T Y   A N N U A L   R E P O R T   2 0 1 5

(t)  Government Grants

  Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant  

will be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised  

as income on the date of receipt of the grant.

  The Government has the right to review grants paid and may clawback funds in the event of an  

excess claim.

  Research and Development Grant

  The Company received a federal government Research and Development Tax Incentive of $531,896 

(2014:$ 413,833) in relation to its research and development activities for the 2015 financial year.

(u)  Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

(v)  Legal Fees

  Legal costs will be incurred from time to time. Their treatment will be classified under the following 

scenarios:

  1.  Ordinary Course of Business; 

    Where legal fees are incurred in the ordinary course of business they will be expensed to the 

    Statement of Profit and Loss.

  2.   Protection of Intellectual Property; 

Where legal fees incurred are directly related to the protection of Intellectual Property, the costs will 

be capitalised and shown as a Non-Current Asset on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position 

where there is a reasonable expectation that the claim will succeed. Should this condition not be met, 

legal fees for the protection of Intellectual Property will be expensed to the Profit and Loss Statement.

Provision for Impairment of Current Trade Receivables

Current trade receivables are non-interest bearing receivable and generally on 30-day terms. A provision for 

impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade receivable is impaired.

Movements in the provision are as follows:

Balance at beginning of year

   Charge for year

   Amounts written off

   Amounts reversed

Closing balance

10.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The introduction of AASB 13 provided guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. It 

did not change when the Company is required to use fair value but, rather, provides guidance on how to 

determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. It also expands the disclosure requirements for 

all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. The Company reviewed its policies for measuring fair values and 

the application of AASB 13 has not resulted in any change in the fair value measurements of the Company.

20.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s financial instruments consist primarily of trade receivables, trade payables and borrowings. 

The Group does not have significant risk exposure to financial instruments and as such risk exposures are 

generally managed as part of the Group’s overall strategic and operational risk management strategies. 

Consequently, there is currently no specific risk mitigating techniques employed. However, as the Group 

expands both domestically and internationally, management continues to monitor its exposure and will 

implement suitable policies when deemed necessary.

The Group is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to loan accounts between related entities being 

unhedged and requiring payment in AUD at an undetermined date in the future.

(a)  Credit risk 

  Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in 

financial loss to the Group and essentially arises from holdings of cash and deposits, trade receivables 

and loans receivable as well as from the parent’s potential obligations under the indemnity guarantee 

provided to banks. The risk is largely managed through a policy of only dealing with creditworthy 

counterparties. Periodic assessments of debtor balances are undertaken and provisions for impairment 

are recognised where appropriate.

  Maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of any collateral held or other credit 

enhancements arising from the Group’s recognised financial assets is considered to be equivalent to 

their carrying values at reporting date. Maximum exposures arising from the indemnity guarantee are as 

disclosed at Note 24: Commitments and Contingencies. The Group does not have any significant credit 

risk exposure to any single counterparty or groups of counterparties having similar characteristics.

  The majority of customers have long standing business relationships with the Group and their credit 

quality with respect to trade receivables is assessed as high.

  All cash and cash equivalents are held with large reputable financial institutions within Australia, 

Malaysia and Singapore and therefore credit risk is considered very low.

(b)  Liquidity risk

  Liquidity risk is managed through monitoring current funds available, undrawn facilities and anticipated 

recovery of receivables and comparing with future funding requirements contained in management 

budgets and forecasts. In this regard, the timing of expected settlement of liabilities is also analysed so as 

to minimise risk with respect to obligations becoming past due. This is consistent with the prior year.

  The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities is presented in the following table based on 

contractual maturity dates and represent undiscounted cash flows.

(c)  Market risk

  The Group is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency risk. Details are provided in the following 

paragraphs. There are no known exposures to other risks that are material to the financial statements.

(i) 

Interest rate risk

    Fair values of financial instruments held have been disclosed at Note 20. The Group also has 

exposure to variable interest rates on monies that are kept in at-call bank accounts. 

    The table provided at Note 20(b) details the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk. For sensitivities 

relating to interest rate risk, refer to paragraph (iii) below.

(ii)  Foreign exchange risk

    The Group controls subsidiaries in Malaysia and Singapore and participates in a joint venture 

in Malaysia. The Group is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from exposure to 

currencies of these respective countries. Such risk arises from future transactions and assets 

and liabilities that are denominated in functional currencies other that the Australian dollar.  

Management does not engage in an active program of hedging exposure to foreign currencies.

    The exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date is represented by the following balances:

Assets denominated in foreign currency

Liabilities denominated in foreign currency

26.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating Segments 

The Group operates in the computer technology, software and services industry with particular emphasis on 

healthcare and associated professional services.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used 

by the executive management team (‘the chief operating decision maker’) in assessing performance and in 

determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management based on the nature of the service provided. 

Discrete financial information about each of these operating service lines is reported to the executive 

management team on at least a monthly basis.

The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the 

services provided, the similarity of the customer bases, the common reporting and management systems 

used and the common regularity environment applicable to each reportable segment. There is a clear 

designation of responsibility and accountability by the chief operating decision makers for the management 

and performance of these reportable segments. 

The Group comprises the following main operating segments:

Hospitals/Day Surgeries

Information system applications for the hospital and day surgery market to 
deliver better and more integrated health care.

e-Health

Other

Comprehensive suite of applications that provide the management of 
population outcomes for communities of common interest.

Products and services delivered to non-healthcare customers and include 
revenues and expenses associated with third party products and cost 
recoveries from customers.

Corporate

Expenditure associated with Corporate, Sales and Marketing activities.

Segment accounting policies

The Group generally accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third 

parties at current market prices. Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the 

assets producing the revenues.

During the financial year there were no changes in segment accounting policies that had a material effect on 

the segment information.

Geographical Segments

Although the Group’s divisions are managed on a global basis they operate in two main geographical areas:

Australia

This is the home country of the main operating entity. The corporate head office is based in Melbourne, 

Victoria. The Company also has a presence in Western Australia for the provision of professional services 

and product development. 

Malaysia

In prior years, the Group operated in the ASEAN region with local resources employed to provide support 

to Southeast Asian clients of the Group. Currently, there is a presence in the region with a view to future 

engagement in the market. 

In presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the 

geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets.

The Company’s former major client, SA Health, which contributed more than 10% of the Company’s 
revenue in previous years, ceased being a client from 1 April 2015 although the Company’s obsolete 

CHIRON and Harmony software applications continue to be used at SA Health hospitals. Legal proceedings 

are currently on foot in the Federal Court in Adelaide to determine the parties’ respective rights. Refer to 

Note 24(c)

27.  SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

(a)  Employee Share Option Plan

  The Employee Share Option Plan was adopted when the Company was listed. The plan allows the 

Company to grant options over shares to key executives and directors and other employees as selected 

by the Directors to enable them to participate in the future growth and profitability of the Company, 

to provide an incentive and reward for their contributions and to attract and maintain personnel. The 

options are issued at no consideration. The exercise price of options is based on the weighted average 

market price of the Company’s Shares during the five trading days up to and including the date of grant 

of the option or each other date or period as the Directors consider appropriate.

  Set out below are summaries of options granted under the plan:

(b)  Exempt Employee Share Plan

  A plan under which shares may be issued by the Company to employees for no cash consideration was 

adopted when the Company was listed. All directors, officers or employees who are from time to time 

engaged in full or part time work for the Company are eligible to participate in the Exempt Employee 

Share Plan. 

  Under the plan, eligible employees may be granted up to $1,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in 

the Company for no cash consideration. The market value of the shares will be measured as the market 

price quoted for buyers of the Company shares at the close of trading on the day immediately preceding 

the date of the offer by the Directors as published by the ASX. 

  Offers under the plan are at the discretion of the Company and the shares shall not be transferred or 

assigned by the holder within the period of three years from the date of issue or transfer to the holder 

unless the holder ceases employment with the Company earlier than that date except that the holder 

may at any time transfer all or any of his Shares to his spouse or to a company the majority of the 

issued shares in which are beneficially owned by him or to any trust that the holder is a beneficiary of.

(c)  Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions

  There were no employee share-based payment transactions during the year.

5 Post-15:1 share consolidation, options previously issued to a director who has since resigned.
6 Post-15:1 share consolidation, options previously issued to employees who have since resigned.

29.  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND SUPERANNUATION COMMITMENTS

(a)  Employee Share and Option Plans

  The parent entity has adopted two incentive plans to enable employees and directors to participate in 

ownership of Global Health Limited. The directors have determined that the total number of securities 

which may be issued pursuant to the Exempt Employee Share Plan and Employee Share Option Plan in 

any five year period must not exceed 5% of the total number of securities on offer from time to time. 

This limitation only applies to new offers of securities by the parent entity and not to existing securities 

purchased on market under the Exempt Employee Share Plan.

(b)  Employee Share Option Plan (‘ESOP’)

  The options issued under the ESOP are not quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange.

  Employee Share Options are issued under the terms and conditions of the Plan as disclosed on the 

Company’s website. Should an employee cease employment before the completion of 2 years after the 

issue of any employee option, the option issued automatically lapses, except where cessation is due 

to death or total permanent disability, retirement, redundancy or any other reason, based on which the 

directors believe is fair and reasonable to warrant the employee maintaining their right to exercise the 

option in which case they will have six (6) months to exercise the options.

  During the financial year and up to the date of these accounts, 390,000 options were issued  

(2014: 1,290,000 issued7; 110,667 cancelled).

  The value ascribed to the options issued was determined using an options valuation pricing model.

  The market price of the ordinary shares of Global Health Limited was $0.375 on 30 June 2015 (2014: $0.54).

(c)  The Exempt Employee Share Plan (‘EESP’)

  The EESP is open to all eligible employees including directors (but subject first to shareholder approval 

in general meeting), be they full-time or part-time. The EESP allows for the allocation of up to $1,000 

worth (market value) of shares per annum per eligible employee. The shares can either be newly issued 

or purchased on market.

  The shares are issued free of consideration. Participants will not be permitted to dispose of their shares 

until three years after the date of acquisition unless they leave the employment of the Company.

  The number of shares issued to participants in the plan is the offer amount divided by the weighted 

average price at which the Company’s shares are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange during the 

week up to and including the date of grant.

(d)  Superannuation Plans

  The Company contributes to various superannuation plans under which its employees are entitled 

to benefits on retirement, disability or death. The parent entity makes contributions as specified by 

Australian legislation. Employees contribute at various percentages of their wages and salaries.

30.  EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

On 29 July 2015, the Company finalised the acquisition of the medical software business and associated 

assets of Abaki Pty Ltd. The maximum consideration of $500,000 in 4 equal parts of cash and Global Health 

shares will take place over 37 months. The cash component will be funded out of working capital.

31.  DIVIDENDS

No provision is made for dividends on or before the end of the year.

7 300,000 on 5 July 2013, 690,000 on 19 December 2013 and 300,000 on 26 May 2014.
