Your Directors submit their report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. 

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to report that the Company achieved a Net Profit after Tax of $1.375m in another challenging year. 

Following last year’s Annual General Meeting, the Company signed key contracts with ACT Health and two 
large Primary Health Networks which helped consolidate its reputation as Australia’s leading collaborative 
healthcare solution provider. 

The business and assets of healthcare software vendor Abaki Pty Ltd which were acquired in July 2015, have 
been successfully integrated into the Company’s offering, and continue to bolster our development and support 
capability with a Vietnamese offshore centre.

The Company’s legal action against SA Health for breaches of contract and infringements of copyright by the 
State of South Australia, has come to a close resulting in a pleasing outcome as announced to the market in 
August 2016. Recognition of part of this revenue as disclosed in the settlement details, along with associated 
legal costs, helped boost the Company’s final result.

My sincere thanks to all our employees and my fellow Board Members for their hard work, 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

Revenue and margins from customers delivering healthcare services in the community has experienced

(up $566,192) over the prior year.

MasterCare EMR – Community Health, Mental Health and Chronic Disease Management

The core product in this segment is the Company’s MasterCare EMR – a multi-disciplinary, team-based 
shared Electronic Medical Record. MasterCare EMR has experienced record revenue and earnings growth 
achieved through a number of significant contracts won since 1 July 2015 including:

 ·

 ·

 ·

 ·

 ·

 ACT Mental Health, Justice Health and Alcohol & Drug Services territory-wide;

 Adelaide Primary Health Network covering the metropolitan population of 1.2m in South Australia;

 Country South Australia Primary Health Network covering the remaining 30% of the  
South Australian population outside metropolitan Adelaide;

 360 Health + Community healthcare service provider delivering over 150,000 community services 
annually across Western Australia; 

 Malaysian Ministry of Health’s MENTARI Mental Health Network in 12 of the 13 states  
and territories across Malaysia.

4

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  REVIEW OF OPERATIONSA number of other significant opportunities for MasterCare EMR are in the process of finalisation  
as at 30 June 2016.

Primary Clinic – General Practice, Specialists and Allied Health

In July 2015, the Company announced the acquisition of the PracNet and MediNet software and associated 
assets of Abaki Pty Ltd. These practice and medical software applications provide the Company with a 
foothold and competitive market offerings across General Practice, Specialists and Allied Health. These 
assets have been re-launched and marketed under the ‘Primary Clinic’ brand (www.primaryclinic.com.au).

The acquisition has been smoothly integrated within the Company’s operations with productivity benefits 
and positive financial contributions in line with expectations. Over the reporting period, the Primary Clinic 
Business increased revenues with positive cash flow and positive earnings contributions to the Group. 

Customer numbers were largely constant over the reporting period with revenue and margin growth 
derived from value-add sales of the Company’s wider portfolio of software applications to existing 
customers of Primary Clinic.

The Company has provided additional marketing resources to expand the number of customers in this 
highly competitive sector of the healthcare market and believe we will see the benefit of this investment 
during the current financial year.

ReferralNet – Connectivity and Enterprise Integration

ReferralNet is the brand within the Company’s portfolio that provides a platform for the:

 · secure electronic exchange of correspondence between healthcare providers in separate organisations;

 ·

integration of patient and clinical records across disparate systems within an organisation and,

 · claims processing for organisations from funders of healthcare services such as private health funds, 

Medicare Australia and the DVA (Department of Veterans’ Affairs).

Connectivity and interoperability are core to the Company’s motto of “Connecting Clinicians and 
Consumers” and is recognised by governments and professional peak bodies as the key to improving 
productivity and patient outcomes in healthcare.

Achieving interoperability with other Secure Messaging Platforms has proven challenging for technical and 
commercial reasons. Nevertheless, over the reporting period, the Company made some significant headway:

 · execution of a bilateral message interchange agreement and the commencement of an interoperability 

pilot with Argus Connect – a Telstra Health company;

 · execution of a bilateral message interchange agreement and interoperability testing with Queensland-

based Medical Objects; and

 · execution of a Preferred Supplier agreement with the Australian Psychological Society – the leading 

professional association for mental health practitioners with over 22,000 members.

In addition to the Company’s commitment to interoperable secure messaging, the Company has increased 
ReferralNet organically through the ‘freemium’ business model and successfully converted a number of 
freemium subscribers to paying, ‘Premium’ subscribers. 

Over the reporting period, the Connectivity business unit increased revenue by over 100% with positive 
cash flow and positive earnings contributions to the Group. 

We believe this will continue to grow once the benefits of interoperability with other Secure Messaging 
Platforms is demonstrated in the market.

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  REVIEW OF OPERATIONSHOSPITAL (ACUTE) SECTOR 

Revenue and margins from customers delivering services within hospitals has been flat over the reporting period.

Core subscriptions in this sector are for the use of the Company’s MasterCare PAS (Patient Administration 
System) to manage patient workflow from pre-admission through to discharge including the management of 
beds, theatres, medical records, billing and receipting. 

A dedicated Business Development Manager was recruited in November 2015 to develop new customer 
opportunities and increase customer value through the bundling of complementary products.

Over the reporting period, the Company implemented MasterCare PAS at three new private hospitals and 
commenced the bundling of the Company’s LifeCard Patient Portal, MasterCare Connect Provider Portal, 
MasterCare Data Warehouse and ReferralNet Secure Messaging platform at six “early adopter” hospital sites.

It is expected that these early adopters will demonstrate productivity gains for our hospital customers over the 
coming months. 

Given the relatively small size of the Australian private hospital market with a total of approximately 600 day 
and overnight private hospitals, the Company will commence overseas market development to achieve scale in 
the medium to long term.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY

Expenses increased by $1,191,770 (up 36%).

The $143,039 increase (up 521%) in Cost of 
Goods Sold are largely due to increased costs 
associated with third party revenue such as 
SMS services and appointment commissions, 
from the Primary Clinic (ex-Abaki) business.

The $60,672 increase (up 8%) in General 
and Administration relate primarily to the 
engagement of three additional sales staff 
in November 2015 reflecting the increased 
confidence in the Company’s prospects at 
the time, as well as to compensate for the 
distraction of key senior executives to litigation 
matters which are now settled.

The $988,059 increase (up 39%) in Salaries 
and Related costs is the most significant 
impact on the overall expense profile for  
the period.

A quick succession of significant projects secured from December 2015 meant the Company was under-
resourced coming into the second half of the financial year. Prompt action was taken through the engagement 
of contractors and recruitment of new operational staff. 

Key payment milestones from these projects have slipped into the first quarter of this (FY17) financial year 
resulting in a mismatch between revenue and expenses over the reporting period.

6

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  REVIEW OF OPERATIONSThe core financial measures of revenue, 
EBITDA, NPAT and EPS growth are trending up 
and are forecast to continue into the future.

FINANCIAL POSITION 

At 30 June 2016, the Company had Net Assets 
of $5,056,903 – an increase of $1,428,897 
from 30 June 2015.

Expenditure on Research and Development 
has been increased in the second half of the 
reporting period to catch up with delivery 
timelines that had fallen behind due to the 
competing demands on cash for expenditure 
on the SA Health litigation over the past 18 to 
36 months and working capital from a run of 
significant project contracts secured in quick 
succession.

In order to adequately address these 
competing demands on cash, the Company 
secured $1,899,427 in debt over the reporting 
period. This has resulted in a debt to equity 
ratio of 37% as at 30 June 2016. 

Closing cash plus Net Receivables was up 
$2,106,600 (+276%) to $2,868,604.

The SA Health settlement and payment of 
$5.5m (GST inclusive) was made on 16 August 
2016 and positions the Company to repay the 
debt and still maintain a healthy cash position. 

Re-invigorated R&D has enabled the Company 
to launch a suite of Consumer engagement 
applications designed to enable healthcare 
consumers to better engage with their care 
providers and pro-actively manage their health 
and wellness.

Notwithstanding the strong demands on 
the Company’s cash over the past year, the 
financial position of the Company is at its 
strongest in over a decade.

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  REVIEW OF OPERATIONSFORWARD OUTLOOK 

Over 2000 healthcare organisations use the Company’s applications across hospitals, community and chronic 
disease health centres, specialists, general practice and allied health. The historical business of the Company 
has been selling software to healthcare businesses – commonly referred to as B2B. The suite of software 
applications for healthcare providers and businesses are:

 ·   MasterCare EMR – a team-based, multi-disciplinary clinical system for mental health, chronic disease 

management and community health;

 ·   MasterCare Connect – a clinical viewer for providers to securely create, view and exchange patient 

correspondence such as referrals, specialist letters, orders and results with their healthcare colleagues;

 ·   MasterCare PAS – a Patient Administration System for the back office operations of day and overnight 

hospitals;

 ·   ReferralNet – a platform for connectivity providing Secure Message Delivery, payment processing to 

public and private health funds and enterprise integration; and

 ·   Primary Clinic – practice management and clinical software for GPs, Allied Health and Specialists.

This portfolio of discrete applications integrate with each other through web services or Application 
Programming Interfaces. This means the Company’s portfolio is open for integration with complementary  
third party software applications that enhance the goal of “streamlining the patient journey“.

In June, the Company “soft launched” its initial portfolio of consumer products available on the Web, with 
mobile apps for Apple and Android smart phones. These integrate with the B2B portfolio and develops a 
Business-to-Consumer (B2C) opportunity for the Company and its customers.  

LifeCard (www.lifecard.com) is a Personal Health Record for consumers, accessible anywhere, anytime and 
from any device. Healthcare consumers can share some or all of their health record with anyone - clinicians, 
care providers, siblings, parents or fitness trainer; for a specific period or until they decide otherwise, and 
choose the extent of access. 

HotHealth (www.hothealth.com) is a platform for developing a digital health community around the website of 
an organisation to engage online with their consumers (patients, clients and the public). 

Business customers can interact online via chat or email, and exchange information such as staff profiles, 
news, articles, videos and events within their community of healthcare consumers. 

HotHealth includes links to patient portals, online aggregators and provides a web-store for financial 
transactions between healthcare businesses and their community of healthcare consumers. 

For consumers, HotHealth provides a single application to their multiple healthcare providers and is seamlessly 
integrated to their LifeCard Personal Health Record.

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  REVIEW OF OPERATIONSGlobal Health Cloud Hosting

In line with market trends, the Company continues to transition from the higher-priced, customised product, to 
a more volume-based, commodity model based on Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) products delivered as a 
fully managed cloud service (‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS)).

Over the reporting period the Company has commenced the logical extension to this strategy by establishing 
the Global Health Managed Cloud Service for customers of the Company’s enterprise and SaaS platforms.

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

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  DIRECTORS’ REPORT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 for 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. There were no remuneration consultants used during the year.

 ·   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.

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  DIRECTORS’ REPORT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 claimed 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 sought damages, declarations and 
a permanent injunction restraining the State from continuing to use Chiron and Harmony. The South Australian 
Minister for Health 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 
contended did not apply to computer programs.

On 2 August 2016 the Company, its subsidiary Working Systems Software Pty Ltd and SA Health reached 
settlement regarding SA Health’s continuing use of CHIRON software as detailed in Note 29 Events 
subsequent to Reporting Date.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Group had a need to employ the auditor – MSI Ragg Weir – on assignments additional to their statutory 
audit duties as detailed in Note 22.

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 22 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

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. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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 (2014 – Version 3) as well as current standards of best practice for the entire financial year ended  
30 June 2016.

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 Chief Executive Officer 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.

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.

22

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT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;

 ·   develop 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; and

 ·   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 implemented these objectives throughout the Company’s workforce and continues 
to monitor and assess the Company’s efforts in this regard.

The number of women employed by the Company and their employment classifications are as follows:

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 an 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.

23

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT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.

BOARD MEMBERS 

The Directors in office at the date of this statement are:

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

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; and

 ·   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;

 ·   a passion for and strong commitment to the success of the activities of the Company.

24

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT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. 

BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES 

The responsibilities of the Board include:

1.   providing strategic guidance to the Company including contributing to the development of and approving 

the corporate strategy;

2.   reviewing and approving business plans, the annual budget and financial plans including available 

resources and major capital expenditure initiatives;

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 other

 ·   be free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be 

perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.

25

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 
 
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 six 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 2016, 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.

26

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT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, including liaison with external auditors. 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. 

27

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT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.

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 
Notes to  
the Financial 
Statements

Global Health Limited and its controlled entities is a for-profit listed company limited by shares and domiciled in 
Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2016.

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 31.

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’). 

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.

39

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS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. Impairment tests are carried out on intangibles, receivables and subsidiaries.

    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

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as 
of 30 June 2016. The Parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from 
its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the 
subsidiary.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 18 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. 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.

40

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS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 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. 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.

41

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 ·

 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 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.

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.

(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 Taxation 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 ATO  
are classified as operating cash flow.

42

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(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 

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. 
These were formally adopted on lodgement of the 2004 income tax returns.

The Company is 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

Intangible assets consist of the following:

1. 

 Development expenditure 
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. 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. 

2.  Legal Fees – 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.

    Yearly amortisation is in accordance with the period in which the claimed revenue is recognised.

43

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(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 and Amortisation

Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and furniture and fittings of the consolidated entity are 
depreciated/amortised on a diminishing value basis. Rates of depreciation/amortisation are calculated to 
allocate the cost, less estimated residual value at the end of the useful lives of the assets.

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

Class of Asset

Leasehold Improvements

Plant and Equipment

Furniture and Fittings

Diminishing Value (%)

29 - 37

25 - 50

13 - 33

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

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.

(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 and other 
comprehensive income 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. 

44

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTranslation of controlled foreign entities 

The results and financial position of all the Group entities 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.

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.

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.

Short Term Benefits

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

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 corporate rates 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.

45

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS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 26. 

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.

At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that is 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. 

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. Financial instruments are classified and measured as 
set out below.

Classification and subsequent measurement

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. 

Financial liabilities 

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method. 

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument 
has been impaired. 

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.

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.

46

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS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 the Company.

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.

(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.

47

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(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)  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 $518,089 
(2015:$ 531,896) in relation to its research and development activities for the 2016 financial year.

(s)  Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

(t)  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

(u)  New accounting standards and Australian Accounting Interpretations

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the 
current annual reporting period.

There are no significant effects on current, prior or future periods arising from the first-time application of 
the standards discussed above in respect of presentation, recognition and measurement of accounts. 

At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the following Australian Accounting Standards/

Accounting Interpretations have been issued or amended and are applicable to the Group but are not yet 
effective and have not been adopted in preparation of the financial statements.

9 has not yet been quanitified.

The changes in revenue 
recognition requirements in 
AASB 15 might cause changes 
to the timing and amounts of 
revenue recorded in the financial 
statements as well as additional 
disclosures. The impact of AASB 
15 has not yet been quantified.

Whilst the impact of IFRS 16 has 
not yet been quantified, the entity 
currently has $872,606 worth 
of operating leases which are 
anticipated to be brought onto the

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS19.  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 current financial instruments held by the Group are as follows:

Financial Assets

-  Cash and cash equivalents

-  Receivables 

Financial Liabilities

-  At amortised cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost consist of:

-  Current payables

-  Current interest-bearing liabilities

The Group is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations due to loan accounts between related entities being 
unhedged and requiring payment in Australian dollar 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 23: 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.

58

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS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.

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.

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(c)  Market risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency risk.

(i) 

Interest rate risk

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

    The table provided at Note 19(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

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:

Acute

Non-Acute

Other

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

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.

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    
25.  SEGMENT INFORMATION (Continued)

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 with a small number of employees also located in other states in 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, the Company’s clinical software, Mastercare EMR, is used by 
the Malaysian Ministry of Health’s MENTARI community mental health program. The Company, through its 
Malaysian distributor, is looking to further its 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.

26.  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 such other date or period as the Directors consider appropriate. Options vest one-third each year 
over three years from the grant date and have an expiry date of five years from the grant date.

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

GLOBAL HEALTH LIMITED CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016  NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(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 cannot 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.

During the year, 10 employees each received $1,000 worth of shares under the plan, making a total of 
40,000 ordinary shares issued at a cost to the Company of $10,000.

(c)  Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions

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

28.  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 two 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, no options were issued  
(2015: 390,000 issued).

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 $0.420 on 30 June 2016  
(2015: $0.375).

(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.

29.  EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

On 2 August 2016, the Company, its subsidiary Working Systems Software Pty Ltd and the Crown in right of 
the State of South Australia settled a Federal Court Proceeding at mediation conducted by the Federal Court of 
South Australia. The Proceeding concerned allegations by Working Systems that SA Health had breached its 
contract and infringed copyright by SA Health’s continued use of the CHIRON Patient Administration System.

The settlement terms included an obligation that SA Health pay the sum of $5,000,000 plus GST, for the 
period 1 April 2015 – 31 March 2020, by 30 August 2016. As at 30 June 2016, receipt of the settlement 
amount was considered virtually certain. This amount has since been received in full by the Company on 16 
August 2016. 

In line with accounting standards and a review by the Company’s auditors, the Company recognised $1.25m 
additional revenue in FY2016 (period 1 April 2015 – 30 June 2016) in addition to amortisation costs of 
$152,000 for legal fees in relation to this matter.

A formal announcement regarding the settlement terms was made to the share market on 4 August 2016.

On 14 September 2016, the Company declared an unfranked Special Dividend of 1.0c per share. The record 
date for the Special Dividend will be 4 November 2016 and is payable on 25 November 2016.
