CHAIRMAN AND CEO REVIEW
To our fellow Shareholders,
We begin this letter with a sense of pride about HeraMED. As we look back on the past year, we have much pride in how well
our company has performed. We are not only talking about our strong, successful, over-subscribed AU$6 million IPO, but
mostly about how much we have accomplished to help our customers - expecting mothers and their partners around the
world.
Ours is an exceptional company, with a short, yet extraordinary story and we believe, a promising future.
It has been a year of change for us, transitioning from an Israeli Med-Tech start-up to a multinational ASX listed company in
growth. It has been a year in which after five years of hard work, going through all the challenges and ups and downs of an
early stage technology start-up, we are now well prepared and can take the Company to the next stage and introduce our
innovative technology to the medical community and pregnant women across the world.
A year in which our proprietary solution the "HeraBEAT" smart pregnancy monitor gained the ultimate acknowledgement
and stamp of quality having signed an extensive research and clinical cooperation agreement with the Mayo Clinic, one of the
most distinguished medical institutes in the world and a comprehensive commercial agreement with Teva (TEVA) a leading
multinational generic pharmaceutical giant.
We believe in people
What makes HeraMED special is the human value and quality of our team and we recognise that our people are critical to our
success. We all operate out of a strong sense of mission, deep belief and passion, knowing that we have the ability to influence
the lives of millions by providing genuine medical value. We never forget this, and this is what drives us to excel each day.
During 2018 and looking forward towards 2019, we are going through substantial growth: marketing, sales, and business
development forces are expanding, spreading across several continents, whilst R&D, engineering and management staff
remain relatively lean yet highly motivated, engaged and showing personal responsibility and accountability.
As a Company we seek to coach, generate enthusiasm, create goodwill, give credit and give room to grow.
We believe in focus
We launched HeraBEAT to the market in 2018.
We started with a soft launch in Israel, gathering feedback, gaining momentum and optimizing our collaterals on all aspects -
from technology through user journey and up to marketing and sales materials.
Whilst acceleration and growth are a must, we also acknowledge the crucial need to embrace a gradual and responsible
approach, maintaining focus at all cost. Each market holds its own unique challenges and choosing the right distribution
partner is essential in this process.
We focus on not compromising our customer support, a goal which requires our local partners and distributors to have a full
understanding of our unique product and the needs of our loyal audience. Teva and our other partners have been crucial to
helping us expand our reach and drive our sales volumes.

For personal use only
We believe in diversity
We believe our HeraBEAT smart pregnancy monitor for home use is truly a game changer. However, we do not stop there;
we believe in building a broad spectrum of solutions, eventually being able to offer a unique and diversified, holistic eco-
system giving answers to different audiences and addressing different needs across the continuum of care in the world of
pregnancy and pregnancy monitoring.
Our next generation of foetal monitoring solutions - the EchoBEAT is already in advanced stages pushing the boundaries of
science and medicine even further by offering a number of innovative, ground breaking features.
OrionAI is a SaaS, cloud-based, machine learning AI algorithm that will evaluate millions of pregnancy monitoring data records,
enabling unprecedented analysis accuracy.
OrionAI(cid:146)s disruptive technology allows immediate, objective and accurate foetal monitor interpretations, by providing fully
automated, easily implementable software tools.
The system will be trained to predict physician analysis and annotation as well as clinical outcomes, outperforming human
capabilities. Orion is being developed in cooperation with the Mayo Clinic and we are aiming for this to become commercially
available in 2021.
HeraCARE is our service model, currently under development, which includes a comprehensive, homecare pregnancy
solution. This service will allow collected data to be transmitted to a call centre where medically-trained staff can offer the
home user not only an analysis of the measurement but also general pregnancy support, data, and attention
Continued growth targeted in 2019
Whilst 2018 was a year of building the foundations, we are expecting 2019 to be the year of substantial growth and expansion.
We have already signed comprehensive commercial agreements in Israel (TEVA) and Australia (Dale group). We are looking
to complete several additional distribution agreements across Europe - UK and Germany as high priority - and we are currently
targeting other potential geographies such as India, South-East Asia and Brazil.
The Company has further set a strategic goal of obtaining FDA approval and will follow this with a planned US launch.
A diverse and highly skilled Board
As with any company, independent directors are essential for governance. We are very fortunate to have three independent
directors from various backgrounds that bring unique skill and depth for strategic guidance. David Hinton(cid:146)s ASX and financial
experience brings outstanding attention to detail on all things financial and corporate with a keen eye on governance. Doron
Birger with his extensive depth in the medtech and venture capital world adds excellent focus on corporate targets,
milestones and the generation of revenue. Ron Weinberger brings substantial skills in the ASX space and along with Doron
Birger many years of experience in the development of early stage companies in the Healthcare sector. This is not a Board
that just turns up to meetings but one where the individuals roll up their sleeves to support the executive and assist with
guidance as necessary. The working relationship with management team is very positive and the geographical distance
presents no barriers to efficiency of communication. We also have strong company secretarial support from Stephen Buckley.
The diversity and depth of experience of the independent directors is unusual in companies of this size on the ASX and ensures
that the interests of all shareholders are considered.
On behalf of HeraMED and our management team, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of our people (cid:150) we are proud
to be their partners.
Sincerely,
Dr Ron Weinberger
Chairman
Mr David Groberman
Chief Executive Officer

A$300,000 (approximately US$211,417) per annum and any increase is subject to approval by shareholders. Fees for non-

Loans from key management personnel (KMP) and their related parties
Credit Line Agreement (cid:150) Meytar
HeraMED Israel and Meytar (Digital) Engineering Ltd (Meytar), a company controlled by Messrs David Groberman and Tal
Slonim (i.e. the Executive Directors), entered into a Credit Line Agreement dated 21 December 2017 (Credit Line Agreement).
The key terms and conditions of the Credit Line Agreement are set out below.
(a) (Interest): The Principle shall bear interest from the date of payment of the Principle at a rate equivalent to the minimal
interest amount recognised and attributed by the Israel Tax Authority.
(b) (Repayment): Repayment of the Principle shall take place as follows:
(i) half of the Principle shall be repaid upon the consummation by Hera Med Ltd (Israel) of an equity
investment/aggregate sales transaction or series of transactions which are in aggregate amount of at least
US$3,000,000; and
(ii) the second half of the Principle is to be repaid at the earlier of the date Hera Med Ltd (Israel) pays dividends or
21 December 2022.
(c) (Accelerated Repayment): Amongst other events, upon the consummation of an IPO the Principle must be repaid in full.
(d) (Waiver of accelerated repayment): the parties have agreed that despite the requirement to repay the Principle in full in
accordance with clause (c) above, half the Principal will be repaid upon completion of the Public Offer with the second half
to be repaid at the earlier of the date Hera Med Ltd (Israel) pays dividends or 21 December 2022.
The Credit Line Agreement otherwise contains terms and conditions that are considered standard for an agreement of its
nature. The interest is at the rate equivalent to the minimal interest amount recognized and attributed by the Israel Tax
Authorities, as such may be adjusted from time to time. During 2018, the interest rate was 2.6%. According to the above
terms, half of the loan amount was repaid upon the consummation of the IPO. After the repayment and as of 31 Dec 2018,
the amount of US$157,220 was owing by Hera Med Ltd (Israel) to Meytar.
8. Other transactions and balances with KMP and their related parties
Transactions with related parties are entered into on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm(cid:146)s length transactions. The
Group had no transactions with members of the Group(cid:146)s key management personnel and/or their related parties during the
year.
9.
Voting of shareholders at last year(cid:146)s annual general meeting
The financial year ended 31 December 2018 is the Company(cid:146)s first financial year as a disclosing entity; accordingly, no
remuneration report was prepared at 31 December 2017 and no vote by shareholders was applicable.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
the year ended 31 December 2018
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements cover HeraMED Limited (Company) and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity
(also referred to as Group). HeraMED Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The
Group is a for-profit entity.
The financial statements were issued by the board of directors on 29 March 2019 by the directors of the Company.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation and presentation of
the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation of the financial report
a) Statement of Compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standard Board
(AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has concluded
would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
b) Basis of Measurement and Reporting Conventions Including Capital Re-organisation
The financial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on
historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets
and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest dollar unless
stated otherwise.
On 10 December 2018, HeraMED Limited ((cid:145)HMD(cid:146)) completed a transaction with the shareholders of Hera Med Ltd ((cid:145)HeraMed
Israel(cid:146)) to acquire 100% of the share capital of HeraMed Israel in exchange for 33,728,841 shares and 3,671,159 options
exercisable at A$0.00002. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the acquisition does not meet the definition
of a business combination as HMD was established for the sole purpose of facilitating the listing process and to acquire
HeraMed Israel by way of an equity swap. The shareholders of HeraMed Israel received the same proportion of equity
instruments in HMD.
Consequently, this financial report presents:
●
●
●
the results of HeraMed Israel for the period from 1 January 2018 to 10 December 2018;
the results of the consolidated Group for the period from 10 December 2018 to 31 December 2018; and
the consolidated Group(cid:146)s financial position as at 31 December 2018.
The comparative financial information included in the Company(cid:146)s financial statements is that of HeraMed Israel, not the
Company. However, the capital structure of the legal acquirer, the Company is adopted in the financial report.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with the accounting policies adopted in HeraMed Israel(cid:146)s last annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.
23
For personal use only
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
c)
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business
activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group incurred a loss
for the year ended 31 December 2018 of $3,766,480 (2017: $788,695) and net cash outflows from operating activities of
$1,766,146 (2017: $546,736).
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through either equity,
debt or receipts from product sales, or a combination of all, to continue to fund its operational and technology development
activities. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group(cid:146)s ability to
continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business.
The Directors believe the Group will continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
●
●
the Group has recently been successful in raising equity and believes that further funding can be raised if
required; and
the level of expenses can be managed.
Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities
other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements or
raise additional capital through equity or debts raisings and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not
continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they become due and payable.
The directors plan to continue the Group(cid:146)s operations on the basis as outlined above and believe there will be sufficient funds
for the Group to meet its obligations and liabilities for at least twelve months from the date of this report.
d)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 December
2018. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if
and only if the Group has:
●
●
●
Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts
and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
●
●
●
The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements,
The Group(cid:146)s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to
one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the
subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from
the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of
the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line
with the Group(cid:146)s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to
transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
24
For personal use only
A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group
loses control over a subsidiary, it:
● De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
● De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests
● De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
●
●
●
●
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
Recognises the fair value of any investments retained
Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit and loss
Reclassifies the parent(cid:146)s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as
appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
d)
Income Tax
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured
at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year
as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when
the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been
fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition
of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement
also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or
liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended
that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods
in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
e)
Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on economic substance of the agreement
so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
Operating Leases
The minimum lease payments made under operating leases are charged against profits in equal instalments over the
accounting periods covered by the lease term where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of
ownership of the leased item.
25
For personal use only
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
f)
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. Transaction costs related to instruments 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.
Classification and subsequent measurement
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(cid:146)s length transactions, reference to similar
instruments and option pricing models.
Loans and receivables
(i)
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months
after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.)
(ii) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or
losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
Derivative instruments
The Group does not trade or hold derivatives.
Financial guarantees
The Group has no material financial guarantees other than a bank guarantee of 26,000 NIS (approximately US$6,937) issued
in regard to the office lease in Israel. The Company has provided a deposit of with a lien in favour of the bank for the
issuance of the bank guarantee (see note 10).
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been
impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred
(cid:145)loss event(cid:146)) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can
be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing
significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter
bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the
estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flow 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 expired. 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.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
g)
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Directors assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.
The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received
from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits.
If any such indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the asset(cid:146)s recoverable amount,
being the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, to the asset(cid:146)s carrying amount. Any excess of the
asset(cid:146)s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where it is not possible to
estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets.
h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks with original maturity of three
months or less.
i)
Trade receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 0-60 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount. Collectability
of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis using an expected credit loss for assessing impairment. An impairment
provision will be recognised when there is objective evidence that HeraMED will not be able to collect the receivable. Bad
debts will be written off when identified.
j)
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the average
principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and the costs incurred in bringing them to their
existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
k) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is measured at the fair value of the consideration received
or receivable. When the credit period is short and constitutes the accepted credit in the industry, the future consideration is
not discounted.
Sales are recognised when performance obligation is satisfied, ie when control of the products has transferred, being when
the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products have been trucked to the specific location,
the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and either the customer has accepted the products
in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed or the Group has objective evidence that all
criterions for acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional
because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
l) Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.

Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The depreciable amount
is the cost of the asset, less its residual value.
An asset is depreciated from the date it is ready for use, meaning the date it reaches the location and condition required
for it to operate in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of the fixed
asset item, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied
in the assets.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
●
●
Computers and equipment (cid:150) 3 years
Furniture and office equipment (cid:150) 7-15 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if
appropriate.
n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)/ Value Added Tax (VAT)
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST/VAT, except where the amount of GST/VAT
incurred is not recoverable.
Receivable and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST/VAT receivable or payable. The net amount of the
GST/VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authorities is included with other receivables and payables in the
statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST/VAT component of investing
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
o) Employee Benefits
Post-employment benefits
The liability for severance pay is in accordance its obligations under Israeli employment law (Section 14 of the Severance
Compensation Act, 1963). All Israel based employees are included under Section 14, and are entitled only to monthly
deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in the employee’s name with insurance companies or pension
funds. Under Israeli employment law, payments in accordance with Section 14 release the employer from any future
severance payments. The funds are made available to the employee at the time the employer-employee relationship is
terminated, regardless of the cause of termination. The severance pay liabilities and deposits under Section 14 are not
reflected in the statements of financial position as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the
insurance companies or pension funds.
Short term employee benefits
Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service
is provided or upon the actual absence of the employee when the benefit is not accumulated.
The employee benefits are classified, for measurement purposes, as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits
depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
p) Equity-settled compensation
The Group measures the share-based expense and the cost of equity-settled transaction with employees by reference to
the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model which takes into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments are
granted.
q) Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the
future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Interest, when charged by the lender, is
recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.
r) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are
measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
s)
Equity and reserves
Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of
shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits. The Share-based payment reserve records
the cost of share-based payments.
t)
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity within the Group is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars which is the
subsidiary(cid:146)s functional currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured
at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured
at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive
income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognized other comprehensive Income; otherwise the exchange
difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group(cid:146)s presentation
currency are translated as follows:
● assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting period;
●
●
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars
are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of
financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

u)
Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of
Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The Group(cid:146)s sole operating segment is consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.
v)
Share Based Payments
Share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity
instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded
at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that
the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number
of equity instruments that eventually vest.
w) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
●
●
the profit attributable to member of the parent entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary
shares
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year (if any).
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
●
●
the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares;
and
the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
x)
Intangible assets
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique products controlled by
the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
it is technically feasible to complete the product so that it will be available for use;
●
● management intends to complete the product and use or sell it;
●
●
●
there is an ability to use or sell the product;
it can be demonstrated how the product will generate probable future economic benefits;
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the product are
available, and
the expenditure attributable to the product during its development can be reliably measured.
●
Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready
for use.
Research expenditure and development expenditure that do not meet the criteria as set out above are recognised as an
expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent
period.
y) Predecessor Accounting
Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for using the predecessor accounting
method. Under this method;
●
●
carrying values are not restated in the accounts of the acquiring entity, rather prior book values are maintained.
As a result, no fair value adjustments are recorded on the acquisition; and
the carrying value of net assets or liabilities acquired is recorded as a separate element of equity.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
z) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements 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.
Key Estimates and judgements
Capital Re-organisation
The acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Hera Med Ltd (Israel) by the Company, by way of issuing the shareholders of
Hera Med Ltd (Israel) fully paid shares in the Company, has been determined by management to be a capital re-organisation
as the transaction does not meet the definition of a business. Capital re-organisation transactions are a complex accounting
area because there are no specific applicable accounting standards to these types of transactions. In the absence of specific
guidance, management has used the guidance in AASB 108 (cid:145)Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors
(para 10) whereby management have used its judgment in developing and applying a relevant and reliable accounting policy
using pre-combination book values to account for this transaction as no substantive economic change has occurred. Refer to
Note 2 for additional information.
Share based payments
The Group initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions
requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the
grant.
This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life
of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them, as well as an assessment of the
probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions.
The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 19.
Deferred Consideration Shares
Deferred consideration shares were issued during the year, which will convert into ordinary shares subject to the
satisfaction of certain performance milestones within 36 months of quotation. The probability of achieving non-market-
based performance milestones is assessed at each reporting date. The milestones are disclosed in Note 17(d) including
management(cid:146)s assessment of the probability of achievement of these milestones.
Impairment
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on
the fair value less cost of disposal. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment once a year or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is lower than the carrying value of the cash-
generating unit.
The Directors make estimates and judgements in preparing the financial report based on historical knowledge and best
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events based and are based on current
trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Fair value of long-term liabilities
The Company measured its liability on governmental grant received, each period, based on discounted cash flows derived
from Group’s future anticipated revenues. The grant is repayable upon the Group commencing product commercialisation
and generating revenue from sale of product, with repayments being based on 3%-3.5% of each dollar of revenue. As required
by AASB 9 Financial Instruments, the liability has been recognised at fair value on initial recognition and subject to
management(cid:146)s estimate of discount rate and the timing and quantity of future revenues.
31
For personal use only
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates, based on its best estimate of future sales, whether there is
reasonable assurance that the liability recognized, in whole or in part, will not be repaid. If there is such reasonable assurance,
the appropriate amount of the liability is derecognised and recorded in profit or loss as an adjustment of research and
development expenses. If the estimate of future sales indicates that there is no such reasonable assurance, the appropriate
amount of the liability that reflects expected future royalty payments is recognised with a corresponding adjustment to
research and development expenses.
Development costs
Costs relating to the development of HeraBEAT are capitalised in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets. Capitalised
costs include all direct costs associated with the development of the asset plus a portion of non-direct costs including some
overheads. The development asset is amortised over a 6-year period from the capitalisation date which is determined by the
useful life of the asset, ability to use or sell the asset, generation of future benefits and the ability to measure the costs reliably
and whether the costs, including payroll costs are directly attributable to relevant projects.

1 The application of predecessor accounting for the acquisition and consolidation of the common controlled entity Hera
Med Ltd (Israel) required the value of Hera Med Ltd shares on issue as at 31 December 2017 as a comparative.
2 The Company issued 33,728,841 fully paid ordinary shares to Hera Med Ltd shareholders. Refer to note 2 for further
information.
3 At the acquisition date (10 Dec 2018), the Company had A$2,150,000 with face value of convertible notes on issue. Upon
completion of the Company(cid:146)s initial public offering and admission to the ASX Official List, the convertible notes
automatically converted to 17,200,000 shares, each at a price of A$0.125 per share. The shares issued have been valued at
the offer issue price of A$0.20 and the difference of $927,524 between the carrying amount of the outstanding liabilities
and the fair value of the shares granted has been recognised as a finance expense.
(c) Capital Management
Due to the nature of the Group(cid:146)s activities, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary
source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group(cid:146)s capital risk management is the current working
capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet research and development programs and corporate
overheads. The Group(cid:146)s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating
requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any surplus funds are invested with major
financial institutions.

NOTE 20: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of
Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The
Group(cid:146)s sole operating segment is consistent with the presentation of these consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 21: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Capital management
The Group(cid:146)s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue
to provide returns for shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Given the nature of the business, the Group monitors capital on the basis of current business operations and cash flow
requirements. There were no changes in the Group(cid:146)s approach to capital management during the year.
(b) Categories of financial instruments
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables

The fair value of the above financial instruments approximates their carrying values.

(c) Financial risk management policies
In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note
describes the Group(cid:146)s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.
Further quantitative information in respect of those risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
The board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group(cid:146)s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst
retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure
the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group(cid:146)s finance function. The Group(cid:146)s risk management
policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of those risks on the Group where such
impacts may be material. The board receives financial reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes
put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The overall objective of the board is to set policies
that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group(cid:146)s competitiveness and flexibility.
(d) Market risk
Market risk for the Group arises from the use of interest-bearing financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or
future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rate (see (e) below).
(e) Interest rate risk management
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group(cid:146)s exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates the impact
on how profit and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable
that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable
is independent of other variables.

(f) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Group. The Group has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where
appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group only transacts with entities that are
rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where
available and, if not available, the Group uses other publicly available information and its own trading records to rates its
major customers. The Group(cid:146)s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the
aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by
international credit-rating agencies.
44
For personal use only
(g) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting
its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group(cid:146)s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that
it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group(cid:146)s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash
flows.

(h) Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Fair value estimation
Due to the short-term nature of the receivables and payables, the carrying value approximates fair value.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The currency risk is that risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to change in foreign exchange rates.
Currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency
that is not the Company(cid:146)s function currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency
exposures primarily with respect to the US Dollar (the functional currency of the subsidiary company), the New Israeli Shekel,
the Australian Dollar (functional currency of the parent company).

NOTE 28: APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED AUSTRALIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued and adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board ((cid:145)AASB(cid:146)) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
The following new Standards resulted in a change in the Group(cid:146)s accounting policies as follows:
● AASB 15 Revenue from Contract with Customers
The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. Under AASB 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when
(cid:145)control(cid:146) of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. There is
no material impact on the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018.
● AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 introduces an expected credit loss model for impairment of financial assets which replaces the incurred loss model.
A simplified impairment model applies to trade receivables with maturities of 12 months or less. There is no material impact
on the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months,
unless the underlying assets is of low value.
● A lessee measures right-of-use assets similarly to other non-financial assets and lease liabilities similarly to
●
other financial liabilities.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on present value basis. The measurement
includes non-cancellable lease payments (including inflation-linked payments), and also includes payments
to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease,
or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease.
● AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees.
Lessor accounting:
● AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117. Accordingly, a
lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those
two types of leases differently.
● AASB 16 also requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors that will improve information
disclosed about a lessor(cid:146)s risk exposure, particularly to residual value risk.
AASB 16 supersedes:
(a) AASB 117 Leases
(b)
(c) SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives
Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease
SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transaction Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
The Group has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact on its consolidated financial
statements. The application of AASB 16 will not have a material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group(cid:146)s consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of HeraMED Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of HeraMED Limited (the Company) and its subsidiary (the Group),
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions
which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.

For personal use only Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.
Accounting for capital reorganisation
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
As disclosed in Note 1 of the financial report, on
10 December 2018, HeraMED Limited acquired
100% of the issued capital of Hera Med Ltd by
issuing the shareholders of Hera Med Ltd fully paid
ordinary shares in HeraMED Limited. HeraMED
Limited has been incorporated to effect the
Australian listing of Hera Med Ltd under a capital
reorganisation.
The accounting of this acquisition is a key audit
matter due to the accounting complexity of the
arrangement as there is limited guidance in
Australian accounting standards relating to these
types of transactions. There is a risk that the
financial report are not presented and disclosed in
accordance with the accounting policy adopted for
capital reorganisations by the group.
Refer to Note 1 and Note 2 of the financial report
for a description of the accounting policy and
judgements applied to this transaction.
Our procedures included, but were not limited
to:
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
Obtaining an understanding of the
relevant agreements in line with
management’s assessment of the
transaction and the accounting policies
adopted to reflect the capital
reorganisation;
Involving our internal technical accounting
specialists to evaluate the
appropriateness of the use of the
continuation accounting as it was applied
to this transaction; and
Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s
disclosures in respect of the accounting
for this capital reorganisation in Note 1
and Note 2 in the financial report.
For personal use only Accounting for share based payments
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
During the financial year ended 31 December 2018,
the Group issued equity instruments, in the form
of shares, options and performance shares, to
eligible directors, employees and other consultants
as detailed in Note 19.
The Group performed valuations of the options and
recorded the related share-based payment
expense or share capital costs in accordance with
the relevant accounting standard.
Due to the judgemental estimates used in
determining the value of the fair value of the
share based payments, we consider the accounting
for the share-based payments to be a key audit
matter.
Our audit procedures in respect of this area
included but were not limited to the following:
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
(cid:127)
Reviewing relevant supporting
documentation to obtain an
understanding of the contractual
nature and terms and conditions of the
share-based payment arrangements;
Involving our internal valuation
specialists to assess the assumptions
and inputs used in the valuation;
Assessing management’s determination
of achieving non-market vesting
conditions of the deferred
consideration shares issued;
Assessing the allocation of the share-
based payment expense over
management’s expected vesting
period; and
Assessing the adequacy of the
disclosure in Note 1, Note 18 and
Note 19 in the financial report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, but does not include
the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
For personal use only Other Matter
The financial report of the Entity for the year ended 31 December 2017 was audited by another auditor
who expressed an unmodified opinion on that financial report on 8th October 2018.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

For personal use only CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 29 March 2019 and has been approved by the Board of the Company.
This Corporate Governance Statement discloses the extent to which the Company follows the recommendations set by the
ASX Corporate Governance Council in its publication Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations 3rd Edition
(Recommendations). The Recommendations are not mandatory, however the Recommendations that have not been
followed have been identified and reasons for not following them, along with what (if any) alternative governance practices
have been adopted in lieu of the Recommendation.
The Company has adopted Corporate Governance Policies which provide written terms of reference for the Company(cid:146)s
corporate governance practices. The Board of the Company has not yet formed an audit committee, nomination committee,
risk management committee or remuneration committee.
The Company(cid:146)s Corporate Governance Policies are contained within the Corporate Governance Plan and available on the
Company(cid:146)s website at hera-med.com/corporate-governance/
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
Roles of the Board & Management
The role of the Board is to provide overall strategic guidance and effective oversight of management. The Board derives its
authority to act from the Company(cid:146)s Constitution.
The Board is responsible for and has the authority to determine all matters relating to the strategic direction, policies,
practices, establishing goals for management and the operation of the Company. The Board delegates responsibility for the
day-to-day operations and administration of the Company to the Chief Executive Officer.
The role of management is to support the Chief Executive Officer and implement the running of the general operations and
financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board.
In addition to matters it is expressly required by law to approve, the Board has reserved the following matters to itself:
(cid:149)
(cid:149)
(cid:149)
(cid:149)
(cid:149)

For personal use only
Subject to the specific authorities reserved to the Board under the Board Charter, the Board delegates to the Chief Executive
Officer responsibility for the management and operation of HeraMED. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-
to-day operations, financial performance and administration of HeraMED within the powers authorised to him from time-to-
time by the Board. The Chief Executive Officer may make further delegation within the delegations specified by the Board
and will be accountable to the Board for the exercise of those delegated powers.
Further details of Board responsibilities, objectives and structure are set out in the Board Charter which is contained within
the Corporate Governance Plan available on the HeraMED website.
Board Committees
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation
of separate committees at this time including audit and risk, remuneration or nomination committees, preferring at this stage
of the Company(cid:146)s development, to manage the Company through the full Board of Directors. The Board assumes the
responsibilities normally delegated to the audit and risk, remuneration and nomination Committees.
If the Company(cid:146)s activities increase, in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate committees will be reviewed by
the Board and implemented if considered appropriate.
Board Appointments
The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director or putting that person forward as a
candidate to ensure that person is competent, experienced, and would not be impaired in any way from undertaking the
duties of director. The Company provides relevant information to shareholders for their consideration about the attributes
of candidates together with whether the Board supports the appointment or re-election.
The terms of the appointment of a non-executive director, executive directors and senior executives are agreed upon and set
out in writing at the time of appointment.
The Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper
functioning of the Board, including agendas, Board papers and minutes, advising the Board and its Committees (as applicable)
on governance matters, monitoring that the Board and Committee policies and procedures are followed, communication with
regulatory bodies and the ASX and statutory and other filings.
Diversity
The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which provides a framework for the Company to establish and achieve measurable
diversity objectives, including in respect to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural diversity. The Diversity Policy allows the Board
to set measurable gender diversity objectives (if considered appropriate) and to assess annually both the objectives (if any
have been set) and the Company(cid:146)s progress towards achieving them.
The Board considers that, due to the size, nature and stage of development of the Company, setting measurable objectives
for the Diversity Policy at this time is not appropriate. The Board will consider setting measurable objectives as the Company
increases in size and complexity.
The participation of women in the Company at the date of this report is as follows:
Women employees in the Company
Women in senior management positions
Women on the Board
36%
29%
0%
The Company(cid:146)s Diversity Policy is available on its website.

On an annual basis, the Board conducts a review of its structure, composition and performance.
The annual review includes consideration of the following measures:
comparison of the performance of the Board against the requirements of the Board charter;
assessment of the performance of the Board over the previous twelve months having regard to the corporate strategies,
operating plans and the annual budget;
review the Board(cid:146)s interaction with management;
identification of any particular goals and objectives of the Board for the next year;
review the type and timing of information provided to the directors; and
identification of any necessary or desirable improvements to Board or committee charters.
The method and scope of the performance evaluation will be set by the Board and may include a Board self-assessment
checklist to be completed by each Director. The Board may also use an independent adviser to assist in the review.
The Chairman has primary responsibility for conducting performance appraisals of Non-Executive Directors, in conjunction
with them, having particular regard to:
contribution to Board discussion and function;
degree of independence including relevance of any conflicts of interest;
availability for and attendance at Board meetings and other relevant events;
contribution to Company strategy;
membership of and contribution to any Board committees; and
suitability to Board structure and composition.
The Board conducts an annual performance assessment of the Chief Executive Officer against agreed key performance
indicators.
The Chief Executive Officer conducts an annual performance assessment of senior executives against agreed key performance
indicators.
Due to HeraMED only listing in December 2018, no formal appraisal of the Board or Chief Executive Officer has been
conducted.
Independent Advice
Directors have a right of access to all Company information and executives. Directors are entitled, in fulfilling their duties and
responsibilities, to seek independent external professional advice as considered necessary at the expense of the Company,
subject to prior consultation with the Chairman. A copy of any such advice received is made available to all members of the
Board.
Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
Board Composition
During the financial year and as at the date of this report the Board was comprised of the following members:
Mr Ronald Weinberger
Non-Executive Chairman (appointed 21 August 2018)
Mr David Groberman
Chief Executive Officer (appointed 25 September 2018)
Mr David Hinton
Mr Tal Slonim
Mr Doron Birger
Non-Executive Director (appointed 21 August 2018)
Executive Director (appointed 27 September 2018)
Non-Executive Director (appointed 5 October 2018)
Mr Keaton Wallace
Non-Executive Director (appointed 21 May 2018; ceased 15 October 2018)
Mr Chris Ntoumenopoulos
Non-Executive Director (appointed 21 May 2018; ceased 15 October 2018)
58
For personal use only
The Board comprises of the majority of Non-Executive Directors.
HeraMED has adopted a definition of ’independence’ for Directors that is consistent with the Recommendations. The Board
considers an independent Director to be a Non-Executive Director who is not a substantial Shareholder or a member of
management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with or could reasonably
be perceived to materially interfere with the independent exercise of that Director(cid:146)s judgement. The Board considers that
Messrs Weinberger, Hinton and Birger are independent.
Messrs David Groberman and Tal Slonim are not considered to be independent as they are both executive directors and each
of them are substantial holders in the Company.
Board Selection Process
The Board considers that a diverse range of skills, backgrounds, knowledge and experience is required in order to effectively
govern HeraMED. The Board believes that orderly succession and renewal contributes to strong corporate governance and
is achieved by careful planning and continual review.
The Board is responsible for the nomination and selection of directors. The Board reviews the size and composition of the
Board regularly and at least once a year as part of the Board evaluation process.
The Board will establish a Board Skills Matrix. The Board Skills Matrix will include the following areas of knowledge and
expertise:
strategic expertise;
specific industry knowledge;
accounting and finance;
risk management;
experience with financial markets; and
investor relations.
The Board anticipates having the skills matrix in place for the year ending 31 December 2019.
Induction of New Directors and Ongoing Development
New Directors are issued with a formal Letter of Appointment that sets out the key terms and conditions of their appointment,
including Director’s duties, rights and responsibilities, the time commitment envisaged, and the Board’s expectations
regarding involvement with any Committee work.
An induction program is in place and new Directors are encouraged to engage in professional development activities to
develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as Directors effectively.
Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly
The Company has implemented a Code of Conduct, which provides a framework for decisions and actions in relation to ethical
conduct in employment. It underpins the Company(cid:146)s commitment to integrity and fair dealing in its business affairs and to a
duty of care to all employees, clients and stakeholders.
All employees and Directors are expected to:
respect the law and act in accordance with it;
maintain high levels of professional conduct;
respect confidentiality and not misuse Company information, assets or facilities;
avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest;
act in the best interests of shareholders;
by their actions contribute to the Company(cid:146)s reputation as a good corporate citizen which seeks the respect of the
community and environment in which it operates;
perform their duties in ways that minimise environmental impacts and maximise workplace safety;
exercise fairness, courtesy, respect, consideration and sensitivity in all dealings within their workplace and with
customers, suppliers and the public generally; and
act with honesty, integrity, decency and responsibility at all times.
59
For personal use only
An employee that breaches the Code of Conduct may face disciplinary action including, in the cases of serious breaches,
dismissal. If an employee suspects that a breach of the Code of Conduct has occurred or will occur, he or she must report
that breach to the head of their business unit or with the Company Secretary, or in their absence, the Chairman. No employee
will be disadvantaged or prejudiced if he or she reports in good faith a suspected breach. All reports will be acted upon and
kept confidential.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting
The Board as a whole fulfils to the functions normally delegated to the Audit Committee as detailed in the Audit Committee
Charter.
The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor
when any vacancy arises. Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from
the Company throughout the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria
relevant to the Company(cid:146)s business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual
basis by the Board.
The Board receives regular reports from management and from external auditors. It also meets with the external auditors as
and when required.
The external auditors attend HeraMED’s AGM and are available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the
audit.
Prior approval of the Board must be gained for non-audit work to be performed by the external auditor. There are qualitative
limits on this non-audit work to ensure that the independence of the auditor is maintained.
There is also a requirement that the lead engagement partner responsible for the audit not perform in that role for more
than five years.
CEO and CFO Certifications
The Board, before it approves the entity(cid:146)s financial statements for a financial period, receives from its CEO and CFO (or, if
none, the persons fulfilling those functions) a declaration provided in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act
that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and that the financial statements
comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of
the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control
which is operating effectively.
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy which outlines the disclosure obligations of the Company as required under
the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act. The policy is designed to ensure that procedures are in place so that the market
is properly informed of matters which may have a material impact on the price at which Company securities are traded.
The Board considers whether there are any matters requiring disclosure in respect of each and every item of business that it
considers in its meetings. Individual Directors are required to make such a consideration when they become aware of any
information in the course of their duties as a Director of the Company.
The Company is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the
Company.
The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for communicating with the ASX. All key
announcements at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer are to be circulated to and reviewed by all members of the
Board.
The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, the Board and the Company Secretary are responsible for ensuring that:
a)
company announcements are made in a timely manner, that announcements are factual and do not omit any material
information required to be disclosed under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act; and
company announcements are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to assess the impact of
the information when making investment decisions.
b)

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders
The Company recognises the value of providing current and relevant information to its shareholders. The Board of the
Company aims to ensure that the shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company(cid:146)s state of
affairs.
The Company respects the rights of its shareholders and to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights the Company is
committed to:
(cid:149)
communicating effectively with shareholders through releases to the market via ASX, the company website, information
posted or emailed to shareholders and the general meetings of the Company;
giving shareholders ready access to clear and understandable information about the Company; and
making it easy for shareholders to participate in general meetings of the Company.
(cid:149)
(cid:149)
The Company also makes available a telephone number and email address for shareholders to make enquiries of the
Company. These contact details are available on the (cid:147)Corporate Directory(cid:148) page of the Company(cid:146)s website.
Shareholders may elect to, and are encouraged to, receive communications from HeraMED and HeraMED’s securities registry
electronically. The contact details for the registry are available on the (cid:147)Corporate Directory(cid:148) page of the Company(cid:146)s website.
The Company maintains information in relation to its Constitution, governance documents, Directors and senior executives,
Board and committee charters, annual reports and ASX announcements on the Company(cid:146)s website.
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
The Board as a whole fulfils to the functions normally delegated to the Audit and Risk Committee as detailed in the Audit and
Risk Committee Charter.
The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company(cid:146)s risk management and internal compliance and control
framework. The Company does not have an internal audit function. Responsibility for control and risk management is
delegated to the appropriate level of management within the Company with the Chief Executive Officer having ultimate
responsibility to the Board for the risk management and internal compliance and control framework. HeraMED has
established policies for the oversight and management of material business risks.
HeraMED’s Audit and Risk Committee Charter recognises that risk management is an essential element of good corporate
governance and fundamental in achieving its strategic and operational objectives. Risk management improves decision
making, defines opportunities and mitigates material events that may impact security holder value.
HeraMED believes that explicit and effective risk management is a source of insight and competitive advantage. To this end,
HeraMED is committed to the ongoing development of a strategic and consistent enterprise wide risk management program,
underpinned by a risk conscious culture.
HeraMED accepts that risk is a part of doing business. Therefore, the Company(cid:146)s Risk Management and Internal Compliance
and Control Policy is not designed to promote risk avoidance. Rather, HeraMED’s approach is to create a risk conscious culture
that encourages the systematic identification, management and control of risks whilst ensuring we do not enter into
unnecessary risks or enter into risks unknowingly.
HeraMED assesses its risks on a residual basis; that is it evaluates the level of risk remaining and considering all the mitigation
practices and controls. Depending on the materiality of the risks, HeraMED applies varying levels of management plans.
The Board has required management to design and implement a risk management and internal compliance and control
system to manage HeraMED(cid:146)s material business risks. It receives regular reports on specific business areas where there may
exist significant business risk or exposure. The Company faces risks inherent to its business, including economic risks, which
may materially impact the Company(cid:146)s ability to create or preserve value for security holders over the short, medium or long
term. The Company has in place policies and procedures, including a risk management framework (as described in the
Company(cid:146)s Audit and Risk Committee Charter), which is developed and updated to help manage these risks. The Board does
not consider that the Company currently has any material exposure to environmental or social sustainability risks.
61
For personal use only
The Company(cid:146)s process of risk management and internal compliance and control includes:
identifying and measuring risks that might impact upon the achievement of the Company(cid:146)s goals and objectives, and
monitoring the environment for emerging factors and trends that affect those risks;
formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks, and designing and implementing appropriate risk
management policies and internal controls; and
monitoring the performance of, and improving the effectiveness of, risk management systems and internal compliance
and controls, including regular assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and
control.
The Board review(cid:146)s the Company(cid:146)s risk management framework at least annually to ensure that it continues to effectively
manage risk.
Management reports to the Board as to the effectiveness of HeraMED(cid:146)s management of its material business risks at each
Board meeting.
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Board as a whole fulfils to the functions normally delegated to the Remuneration Committee as detailed in the
Remuneration Committee Charter.
HeraMED has implemented a Remuneration Policy which was designed to recognise the competitive environment within
which HeraMED operates and also emphasise the requirement to attract and retain high caliber talent in order to achieve
sustained improvement in HeraMED(cid:146)s performance. The overriding objective of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure that an
individual(cid:146)s remuneration package accurately reflects their experience, level of responsibility, individual performance and the
performance of HeraMED.
The key principles are:
reviewing and approving the executive remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain executives
and Directors who will create value for shareholders;
reviewing and approving the non-executive remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain non-
executive Directors in a manner that will not conflict with their obligation to bring an independent judgement to
matters before the Board;
ensuring that the executive remuneration policy demonstrates a clear relationship between key executive
performance and remuneration;
recommending to the Board the remuneration of executive Directors;
fairly and responsibly rewarding executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the
executive and the prevailing remuneration expectations in the market;
reviewing the Company(cid:146)s recruitment, retention and termination policies and procedures for senior management;
reviewing and approving the remuneration of Director reports to the Managing Director, and as appropriate other
senior executives; and
reviewing and approving any equity-based plans and other incentive schemes.
The Board determines the Company(cid:146)s remuneration policies and practices and assesses the necessary and desirable
competencies of Board members. The Board is responsible for evaluating Board performance, reviewing Board and
management succession plans and determines remuneration packages for the Chief Executive Officer, Non-Executive
Directors and senior management based on an annual review.
HeraMED(cid:146)s executive remuneration policies and structures and details of remuneration paid to directors and key
management personnel (where applicable) are set out in the Remuneration Report.
Non-Executive Directors receive fees (including statutory superannuation where applicable) for their services, the
reimbursement of reasonable expenses and, in certain circumstances options.
The maximum aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is $300,000 per annum as disclosed within the Company(cid:146)s
constitution which may be varied from time to time by the Shareholders in general meeting. The Directors set the individual
Non-Executive Directors fees within the limit approved by shareholders.

For personal use only
Executive directors and other senior executives (where appointed) are remunerated using combinations of fixed and
performance-based remuneration. Fees and salaries are set at levels reflecting market rates and performance-based
remuneration is linked directly to specific performance targets that are aligned to both short- and long-term objectives.
The Company prohibits Directors and employees from entering into any transaction that would have the effect of hedging or
otherwise transferring the risk of any fluctuation in the value of any unvested entitlement in the Company(cid:146)s securities to any
other person.
Further details in relation to the company(cid:146)s remuneration policies are contained in the Remuneration Report, within the
Directors(cid:146) report.
