DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

Your  directors  present  their  report,  together  with  the  financial  statements  of  the  Group,  being  the  company  and  its 
controlled entities, for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. 

Principal Activities 
The principal activities of the entities within the consolidated Group during the year involve the production and sale of 
high-grade  sheep  collagen  and  other  biomaterials  from  animal  sources  in  Australia.  Its  subsidiaries  in  Malaysia  are 
principally  engaged  in  importing,  exporting,  branding,  trading,  marketing,  retailing  and  wholesaling  of  Dietary 
Supplements and ingredients.  

Review of Operations 
During the financial year, the Group remained focused on its three (3) core areas:- 

•  Dietary Supplements 
•  Sheep Collagen (Ovine) 
•  Healthy Food Ingredients 

Dietary Supplements 
This  remains  as  the  Group’s  main  income  contributor  during  the  year.  Its  revenue  continues  to  grow  despite 
challenging market condition faced by the subsidiaries in Malaysia. Market conditions in Malaysia have changed during 
the  past  12 months  due  to  tighter  financial spending  caused  by  inflation and  the  systematic  removal of  subsidies  on 
essential  goods  by  the  Government  of  Malaysia.  However,  customers  remain  loyal  to  the  Company’s  dietary 
supplements  despite  a  growing  number  of  competitors  in  not  only  the  intense  pharmacy  business  but  also  with  the 
multi-level business.  

Revenue in this area has increased by 12% compared to last year. The company has also successfully launched five 
(5) new products in Malaysia to increase its market presence in the dietary supplement market. The Group will continue 
to source for more new potential products to be launched each year.

Sheep Collagen (Ovine) 
Since the incorporation of Colltech Australia (“CAU”), cosmetic grade collagen has always been the main focus. The 
Company has managed to deliver 2,095kg of its cosmetic grade collagen during this reporting year.   

While  the  company  continues  to  seek  new  potential  customers  in  the  Asia  Pacific  region,  it  continues  to  spend  on 
research  and  development  for  its  food  grade  collagen  formulation  focusing  on  yield  and  quality.  The  Company  is 
targeting to produce samples in large scale by the end of 2014. This will open up new opportunities for the Company’s 
collagen business. One of the subsidiary’s dietary supplements in Malaysia consumed an average of 2,500kg of food 
grade bovine (cow) collagen. The Group is excited by the prospect of replacing this bovine collagen with our very own 
patented ovine (sheep) collagen.  

Healthy Food Ingredients 
The Group’s key focuses are:- 

• 
• 
• 
• 

Low Sodium Salt 
Low Fat Chip 
Low Glycemic Index (“GI”) 
Low Sugar 

During the year, we have incorporated Litefood Inc. (“Litefood”) in the United States to focus on the commercialisation 
of our Healthy Food Ingredients formulation. The United States is well known to be the home of large fast food chains 
and  by  being  close  to  the  market it  will  present opportunities  for  the  Group  to generate income from  this area in the 
near future. (www.litefoodsinc.com).  

Litefood is 74% owned by the Group with the remaining 26% being held by private shareholders including our director 
Mr. Chan Heng Fai.

 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

In  order  to  support  the  marketing  activities  of  Litefood,  the  Group  has  raised  $700,000  during  this  reporting  year  by 
issuing 11,666,667 ordinary shares with 23,333,333 warrants (expiring on 17 December 2018). These warrants have 
an exercise price of $0.06 each which will enable the Group to raise additional cash of up to $1,400,000 to finance the 
Group’s business when required. 

In  June  2014,  Litefood  participated  in  the  2014  IFT  Food  Expo  which  was  held  in  New  Orleans,  USA.  Litefood  has 
managed  to  showcase  the  Group’s  patented  Healthy  Food  Ingredients  formulation  and  has  attracted  interest  from 
some large organisations. 

We  have  since  started  working  with  a  concept  creator  in  the  food  industry  in  the  United  States  (www.foodcom.com)  
that has a proven track record of providing solutions to the biggest and most reputable players among them Starbucks, 
Coca Cola and Dr. Atkins.  

They have chosen our low GI Bread patent to penetrate the US bread industry worth USD2 billion.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

Operating results for the year 
The  Group  has  recorded  17.5%  increase  in  sales  revenue  from  $5,199,005  to  $6,178,404  mainly  from  the  Dietary 
Supplements and Sheep Collagen. Total comprehensive loss for the year of $3,405,174 is mainly due to :- 

• 
Fair Value of warrants using Black & Scholes Model 
• 
Impairment of Collie Plant   
•  Marketing activities in USA  

$2,163,772 
$927,287 
$324,194 

For  the  past  two  financial  years,  revenue  generated  from  our  cosmetic  grade  sheep  collagen  has  been  around 
$110,000 per year. This is an improvement as compared to zero revenue prior to the reverse takeover in Year 2009. 
This  collagen  is  produced  from  our  collagen  extraction  plant  in  Collie,  Australia.  Cosmetic  collagen  is  expected  to 
contribute steady income to the Group based on secured sales order from German giant Behn Meyer and American 
Corporation,  Connell  Bros.  However,  based  on  our  prudent  estimation,  we  do  not  expect  any significant  growth  from 
cosmetic collagen category. Due to this the Group has decided to impair the entire cost of its Collie Plant during this 
reporting year.  

While  world  cosmetic  collagen  is  likely  to  decline  over  the  years,  food  grade  collagen  is  expected  to  grow  over  the 
years. Also, when it comes to food grade collagen, some of the benefits of the Company’s ovine collagen become very 
obvious: 
- 
- 
-  Warm blooded source (compared to fish) 

Free of cultural and religious issues (compared to pig and cow sources) 
Australia is the only nation certified to have sheep that is disease free  

Based on the above, the Group is optimistic that its new Food Grade Collagen will be ready for commercialisation in the 
next 12 months. From reliable market research, the recommended minimum dosage for food grade collagen is 5gm a 
day (equivalent to 150gm a month). Compare this against 1gm of cosmetic collagen per bottle, Food Grade Collagen 
will be expected to provide the Group with much higher return in the future.  

The Group’s Dietary supplements business is targeted to continue its uptrend growth in the coming financial year. The 
positive development in both the Healthy Food Ingredients in the United States and Food Grade Collagen in Australia 
will be seen as the game changer for the Group in this coming financial year.   

Financial Position 
The Group’s net assets decreased during the year by $531,905 to $1,529,392 with revenue and proceeds from the sale 
of assets being principal contributors to the funding of the Company’s operations for the year.   

Significant changes in the state of affairs  
There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year ended 30 June 2014 
other than disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report. 

Dividends  
No dividends have been paid or declared since the start of the financial year and the directors do not recommend the 
payment of a dividend in respect of the financial year.  

Significant events after balance date  
There has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly  affect,  the  operations of  the  Group,  the  results  of  those  operations,  or the state  of  affairs  of  the  Group in 
future financial periods.  

Likely developments and expected results  
Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years and the 
expected  results  of  those  operations  is  likely  to  result  in  unreasonable  prejudice  to  the  Group.  Therefore,  this 
information has not been presented in this report.  

Environmental legislation  
Holista CollTech Limited has operated under environmental licence 7998/1 issued by the Western Australian Department

of Environment as prescribed under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. The licence relates to collagen extraction 
and  purification,  waste  water  storage  and  wastewater  disposal  pipeline  to  the  Collie  Power  Station  marine  disposal 
outfall tank. During the financial year the Group's operations were materially conducted in accordance with the guidelines 
of that licence.  

Other  than  mentioned  above,  during  and  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year,  the  directors  are  not  aware  of  any 
particular or significant environmental issues which have been raised in relation to the Group's operations.  

Risk Management  

The Group takes risk management seriously and has put in place the following procedures:  

Oversight: An Audit Committee has been established to direct, review and initiates corrective action in matters of internal 
control and minimise risk exposures compatible with a group company of this size and nature.  

Risk Profile: An exercise has been performed to assess the various business risks that impinge upon the Group. They 
have been categorised according to which part or parts of the business would be effected, what controls might be put in 
place and whether the resulting levels of exposure are acceptable.  

Risk Management: The Group has taken decisions as to how it should manage the various categories of risk exposure 
and they include the imposition of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) for routine business transactions; mitigation 
policies to lessen or obviate risks such as Insurance Policies and formal long term Agreements with critical suppliers; 
and hedging arrangements if applicable.  

Compliance and Control: Standard Operating Procedures have been drawn up, circulated and regularly monitored to 
ensure  adherence  to  company  policy.  They  include  the  various  cash,  purchasing,  sales,  and  payment  cycles,  and 
payroll.  Levels  of  Authority  have  been  set,  divisions  of  duty  are  made  and  multiple  signature  approvals  imposed. 
Regular checks are made by management to ensure that these controls are indeed in place and complied with.  

Assessment  of  Effectiveness:  The  management  in  the  first  instance  assesses  the  effectiveness  of  the  risk 
management policies and in conjunction with the Audit Committee and External Auditors, instructs improvements to 
be put in place.

Except as noted, the named persons held their current position during the whole of the financial year and up to the date

Remuneration philosophy  
The  performance  of  the  Company  depends  upon  the  quality  of  the  directors  and  executives.  The  philosophy  of  the 
Company in determining remuneration levels is to:  

• 

• 

• 

set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees;  

link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and  

establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration.  

Remuneration committee  
The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing 
compensation arrangements for the directors, the CEO and the executive team.  

The  Remuneration  Committee  assesses  the  appropriateness  of  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  of  directors 
and executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with an overall objective of 
ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.  

Currently the responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee are undertaken by the full Board. 

Remuneration structure  
In  accordance  with  best  practice  Corporate  Governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive 
remuneration is separate and distinct.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

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

The  ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be  determined from 
time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 1 December 
2003 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $ 200,000 per year.  

The  amount  of  aggregate  remuneration  sought  to  be  approved  by  shareholders  and  the  manner  in  which  it  is 
apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as 
the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.  

Each  director  receives  a  fee  for  being  a  director  of  the  Company.  An  additional  fee  is  also  paid  for  each  Board 
committee  on  which  a  director  sits.  The  payment  of  additional  fees  for  serving  on  a  committee  recognises  the 
additional time commitment required by directors who serve on one or more sub committees.  

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2014 is detailed in Table 1 of this report.  

Senior manager and executive director remuneration  
Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (comprising short-term and long-term incentive 
schemes).  

Fixed Remuneration  
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee. The process consists of a review of relevant 
comparative remuneration in the market and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. 
The Committee has access to external, independent advice where necessary.  

Senior managers are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including 
cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment 
chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group.  

The fixed remuneration component of the company executives is detailed in Table 2.  

Variable Remuneration  
The  aggregate  of  annual  payments  available  for  executives  across  the  Group  is  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
Remuneration  Committee  During  the  year,  the  Board  of  Directors  approved  $11,197  bonus  payment  to  its  Malaysia 
subsidiaries as per their employment contract. (2013 : $NIL)

Charter.  Senior  executives  are  responsible  for  supporting  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  assisting  the  Chief 
Executive  Officer  in  implementing  the  running  of  the  general  operations  and  financial  business  of  the  Group,  in 
accordance with the delegated authority of the Board.  

Senior executives are responsible for reporting all matters which fall within the Group's materiality thresholds at first

Executive Director of the Company effective 31 July 2013. Mr Daniel O’Connor assumed the Non-Executive Director role 
during the same time. However, he is deemed to be non-independent by nature of him holding the position of Executive 
Director during the past one(1) year. Mr Chan Heng Fai is considered non-independent by nature of him holding a $1.5m 
convertible  note.  With  the  resignation  of  Mr  Mark  Peter  Collins  as  the  Chairman,  Dato'  Dr  M  Rajendran  has  been 
appointed as interim Chairman until a replacement Chairman is appointed.  

The  Company  has  departed  from  its  recommendation  of  having  majority  independent  directors  in  its  Board.  While  the 
Company will consider rectifying this in the future, it will continue to operate with its existing small Board members which 
will be advantageous in view of the Company’s current financial position. 

Recommendation 2.2: The Chair should be an independent director. 
Disclosure: 
With the resignation of Mr Mark Peter Collins on 31 July 2013, the Board has appointed Dato' Dr M Rajendran as interim 
Chairman as at the date of Reporting until a replacement Chairman is appointed.. 

Recommendation 2.3: The roles of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent) should not be exercised by 
the same individual. 
Disclosure: 
During the Reporting Period the Chief Executive Officer, was Dato' Dr M Rajendran and he has also been appointed as 
interim  Chairman  after  the  resignation  of  Mr  Mark  Peter  Collins  until  a  replacement  Chairman  is  appointed.  As 
explained in Recommendation 2.2, the Board will make collective decision making during this period.   

Recommendation 2.4: The Board should establish a Nomination Committee 
Disclosure: 
The majority of Nomination Committee should be independent directors. As per Recommendation 2.1 to 2.3 above, the 
Company is unable to establish the Nomination Committee due to its small Board members. However, the full Board 
will assume the Nomination Committee role until a proper Nomination Committee is established in the future.  

Recommendation  2.5:  Companies  should  disclose  the  process  for  evaluating  the  performance  of  the  Board,  its 
committees and individual directors. 

21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Holista CollTech Limited 

Disclosure: 
The  Chair  evaluates  the  Board,  individual  directors,  any  applicable  committees  and  the  Managing  Director  /  Chief 
Executive  Officer  by  holding  informal  discussions  with  these  parties  on  an  ongoing  basis,  as  required.  Each  new 
director is required to complete an induction process. 
Recommendation 2.6: Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 2. 
Disclosure:  
Skills, Experience, Expertise and term of office of each Director  
A  profile  of  each  director  containing  their  skills,  experience,  expertise  and  term  of  office  is  set  out  in  the  Directors' 
Report.  

Identification of Independent Directors  
Currently, the Company do not have any independent directors. Mr Daniel O’ Connor is deemed to be non-independent 
by  nature  of  him  holding  the  position  of  Executive  Director  during  the  past  one(1)  year  whereas  Mr  Chan  Heng  Fai  is 
considered non-independent by nature of him holding a $1.5m convertible note. 

Independence is measured having regard to the relationships listed in Box 2.1 of the Principles & Recommendations 
and the Group's materiality thresholds. The materiality thresholds are set out below.  

Group's Materiality Thresholds  
The Board has agreed on the following guidelines for assessing the materiality of matters, as set out in the  
Group's Board Charter:  
• 
• 
• 

Statements of Financial Position items are material if they have a value of more than 10% of net assets.  
Profit and loss items are material if they will have an impact on the current year operating result of 10% or more. 
Items are also material if they impact on the reputation of the Group, involve a breach of legislation, are outside the 
ordinary course of business, they could affect the Group's rights to its assets, if accumulated they would trigger the 
quantitative tests, involve a contingent liability that would have a probable effect of 10% or more on balance sheet 
or profit and loss items, or they will have an effect on operations which is likely to result in an increase or decrease 
in net income or dividend distribution of more than 10%.  

Contracts  will  be  considered  material  if  they  are  outside  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  contain  exceptionally 
onerous  provisions  in  the  opinion  of  the  Board,  impact  on  income  or  distribution  in  excess  of  the  quantitative  tests, 
there is a likelihood that either party will default, and the default may trigger any of the quantitative tests, are essential 
to  the  activities  of  the  Group  and  cannot  be  replaced,  or  cannot  be  replaced  without  an  increase  in  cost  of  such  a 
quantum, triggering any of the quantitative tests, contain or trigger change of control provisions, they are between or for 
the benefit of related parties, or otherwise trigger the quantitative tests.  

Statement concerning availability of Independent Professional Advice  
If a director considers it necessary to obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of 
their office as a director then, provided the director first obtains approval for incurring such expense from the Chair, the 
Group will pay the reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice.  

Nomination Matters  
The  Company  does  not  have  a  Nomination  Committee  due  to  its  small  Board  composition.  The  Board  considers  it 
appropriate that the selection and appointment of directors are of utmost importance and should be the responsibility of 
the entire board. 

Principle 3 - Promote ethical and responsible decision-making  
Recommendation 3.1: Companies should establish a Code of Conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the 
code as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company's integrity, the practices necessary to take 
into  account  their  legal  obligations  and  the  reasonable  expectations  of  their  stakeholders  and  the  responsibility  and

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY 

Holista Colltech Limited is a company domiciled in Australia. The Company’s registered address is Level 4, 66 Kings 
Park Road, West Perth, WA 6005. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 
30  June  2014  comprise  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together  referred  to  as  the  ‘Group”  and  individually  as 
“Group Entities”) and the Group’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities. The Group is a for-profit entity 
and primarily involved in development and commercialisation of food ingredients and ovine collagen. 

NOTE 2: SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

a)  Basis of preparation 

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in 
accordance  with  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASBs)  adopted  by  the  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  Board  (AASB)  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  comply  with 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  adopted  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(IASB). 

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 18 September 2014.  

b)  Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of Holista CollTech 
Limited and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity 
when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability 
to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 21. 

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the 
Group  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  obtained  by  the  Group.  The  consolidation  of  a  subsidiary  is 
discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or 
losses  on  transactions  between  Group  entities  are  fully  eliminated  on  consolidation.  Accounting  policies  of 
subsidiaries  have  been  changed  and  adjustments  made  where  necessary  to  ensure  uniformity  of  the 
accounting policies adopted by the Group. 

Equity  interests  in  a  subsidiary  not  attributable,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  the  Group  are  presented  as  “non-
controlling  interests".  The  Group  initially  recognises  non-controlling  interests  that  are  present  ownership 
interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation 
at  either  fair  value  or  at  the  non-controlling  interests'  proportionate  share  of  the  subsidiary's  net  assets. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each 
component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity 
section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income 

c)  Business combination 

Business combinations occur when an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. 

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  all  business  combinations,  including  business 
combinations involving entities or business under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments 
or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the 
fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The 
consideration  transferred  also  includes  the  fair  value  of  any  contingent  consideration  arrangement  and  the 
fair  value  of  any  pre-existing  equity  interest  in  the  subsidiary.  Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as 
incurred.  Identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  in  a  business 
combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an 
acquisition-by-acquisition  basis,  the  Group  recognises  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree  either  at 
fair value or at the non- controlling interests proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets.  

The  excess  of  the  consideration  transferred  the  amount  of  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree  and 
the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  any  previous  equity  interest  in  the  acquiree  over  the  fair  value  of  the 
Group's share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than 
the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts

Holista CollTech Limited 

has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.  

Where  settlement  of  any  part  of  cash  consideration  is  deferred,  the  amounts  payable  in  the  future  are 
discounted  to  their  present  value  as  at  the  date  of  exchange.  The  discount  rate  used  is  the  entity's 
incremental  borrowing  rate,  being  the  rate  at  which  a  similar  borrowing  could  be  obtained  from  an 
independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.  

Contingent consideration is classified as either equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial 
liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.  

d)  Going Concern 

The  Group  has  reported  a  net  loss  after  tax  for  the  year  of  $3,373,731  and  negative  cash  from  operating 
activities of $276,092. Its current assets of $3,619,430 exceed the current liabilities of $1,807,595. 

This financial report is prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business 
activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of 
the  Group  to  continue  to  pay  its  debts  as  and  when  they  fall  due  is  dependent  upon  the  Group's  ability  to 
generate positive cash flows through its existing business and/or raising of further equity. 

The  Group's  cosmetic  collagen  business  has  continued  to  generate  revenue  of  $115,070  (2013:  $116,460) 
from its Collagen Plant in Perth, Western Australia. While the production during the past 2 years is only 10% 
of the actual plant capacity, the positive side from this is that the plant has an additional 90% capacity when 
required.  

During this reporting period, the Group has finalised the Research & Development on its patented Food Grade 
collagen  in  its  Collie  Plant.  The  plant  is  in  the  final  stage  of  producing  50kg  of  Food  Grade  collagen  as 
samples for its customers. With this, the Group is confident that this new source of revenue from Collie will 
contribute positively to the Group's revenue in the coming financial year. 

On the Healthy Food Ingredients, our marketing company, Litefood Inc. in USA has begun its initial talks with 
several potential customers. Litefood Inc. participation in the 2014 IFT Food Expo in New Orleans, USA has 
also given the Group renewed confidence in the potential revenue from this business segment. 

The Group has proved during the financial year that it is able to raise additional funds from the issuance of 
financial instruments such as shares and warrants. This will continue to be an option available for the Group in 
the future should there be any further requirement for the growth of the Group. 

While the Group is confident that its Malaysian and Australian revenue will grow and contribute positively in 
the future, it does realise the risk should the Group fail to generate sufficient positive cash flows and/or obtain 
funding  when  required.  There  is  significant  uncertainty  as  to  whether  the  Group  will  continue  as  a  going 
concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and 
at the amounts stated in the financial report. 

e) 

Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  period's  taxable  income 
based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses.  

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at 
the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and 
generate  taxable  income.  Management  periodically  evaluates  positions  taken  in  tax  returns  with  respect  to 
situations  in  which  applicable  tax  regulation  is  subject  to  interpretation.  It  establishes  provisions  where 
appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Holista CollTech Limited 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be  
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are 
those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.  

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

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:  

•  when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability 
in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither 
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or  

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

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences,  carry-forward  of 
unused  tax  assets  and  unused  tax  losses,  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  taxable  profit  will  be 
available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits 
and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:  

•  when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of 
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or  

•  when  the  deductible  temporary  difference  is  associated  with  investments  in  subsidiaries,  associates  or 
interests in joint  ventures, in  which case a deferred  tax  asset is only  recognised to the  extent that it is 
probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future  and  taxable  profit  will  be 
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.  

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

Unrecognised  deferred  income  tax  assets  are  reassessed  at  each  balance  date  and  are  recognised  to  the 
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year 
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted at the balance date.  

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. 
Deferred  tax  assets  and  deferred  tax  liabilities  are  offset  only  if  a  legally  enforceable  right  exists  to  set  off 
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same 
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.  

Holista CollTech Limited recognises its own current and deferred tax amounts and those current tax liabilities, 
current tax assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits and unused tax losses which it has 
assumed from its controlled entities within the tax consolidated group.  

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as 
amounts  payable  or  receivable  from  or  payable  to  other  entities  in  the  Group.  Any  difference  between  the 
amounts  receivable  or  payable  under  the  tax  funding  agreement  are  recognised  as  a  contribution  to  (or 
distribution from) controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.  

f)  Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities 

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, 
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Holista CollTech Limited 

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an 
orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the 
measurement date. 

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used 
to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the 
specific  asset or  liability.  The  fair  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market  are 
determined  using  one  or  more  valuation  techniques.  These  valuation  techniques  maximise,  to  the  extent 
possible, the use of observable market data. 

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability 
(ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such 
a  market,  the  most  advantageous  market  available  to  the  entity  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  (ie  the 
market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the 
liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). 

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to 
use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in 
its highest and best use. 

The  fair  value  of  liabilities  and  the  entity's  own  equity  instruments  (excluding  those  related  to  share-based 
payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of 
such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as 
assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, 
are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. 

Valuation techniques 
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more 
valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique 
that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The 
availability  of  sufficient  and  relevant  data  primarily  depends  on  the  specific  characteristics  of  the  asset  or 
liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of 
the following valuation approaches: 

-  Market  approach:  valuation techniques  that  use prices and other  relevant  information  generated by 

market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. 

- 

Income  approach:  valuation  techniques  that  convert  estimated  future  cash  flows  or  income  and 
expenses into a single discounted present value. 

-  Cost  approach:  valuation  techniques  that  reflect  the  current  replacement  cost  of  an  asset  at  its 

current service capacity. 

Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when 
pricing  the  asset  or  liability,  including  assumptions  about  risks.  When  selecting  a  valuation  technique,  the 
Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of 
unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on 
actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the 
asset  or  liability  are  considered  observable,  whereas  inputs  for  which  market  data  is  not  available  and 
therefore  are  developed  using  the  best  information  available  about  such  assumptions  are  considered 
unobservable. 

Fair value hierarchy 
AASB  13  requires  the  disclosure  of  fair  value  information  by  level  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy,  which 
categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input 
that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Holista CollTech Limited 

Level 1 
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the 
entity can access at the measurement date. 

Level 2 
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset 
or liability, either directly or indirectly 
Level 3 
Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

The  fair  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are not  traded in  an active  market are  determined  using  one  or 
more  valuation  techniques.  These  valuation  techniques  maximise,  to  the  extent  possible,  the  use  of 
observable  market  data.  If  all  significant  inputs  required  to  measure  fair  value  are  observable,  the  asset  or 
liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the 
asset or liability is included in Level 3. 

The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances: 
if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or 

(i) 

vice versa; or 

(ii)  if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice 

versa. 

When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value 
hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change 
in circumstances occurred. 

g) 

Inventories 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its 
present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:  
Raw materials - purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis; and Finished goods and work-in-progress - cost of 
direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity 
but excluding borrowing costs.  
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of 
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.  

h)  Property, plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.  
Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the 
parts  is  incurred.  Similarly,  when  each  major  inspection  is  performed,  its  cost  is  recognised  in  the  carrying 
amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.  

Land  and  buildings  are  measured  at  fair  value  less  accumulated  depreciation  on  buildings  and  less  any 
impairment losses recognised after the date of the revaluation.  

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:  
Buildings - over 25 years  
Motor vehicles – over 10 years 
Plant and equipment - over 5 to 20 years  
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at 
each financial year end.  

(i) Impairment  
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each balance date, with  
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value 
may be impaired.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Holista CollTech Limited 

The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for 
the  cash-generating  unit  to  which  the  asset  belongs,  unless  the  asset's  value  in  use  can  be  estimated  to 
approximate fair value.  

Impairment  exists  when  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  or  cash-generating  units  exceeds  its  estimated 
recoverable  amount.  The  asset  or  cash-generating  unit  is  then  written  down  to  its  recoverable  amount.  For 
plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost 
of sales line item. However, because land and buildings are measured at revalued amounts, impairment  
losses on land and buildings are treated as a revaluation decrement. 

(iii) Derecognition and disposal  
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic 
benefits are expected from its use or disposal.  
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal 
proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset)  is  included  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  year  the  asset  is 
derecognised. 

i)  Financial Instruments 

Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  entity  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual 
provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself 
to either the purchase or sale of the asset. 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is 
classified “at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss 
immediately. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Financial  instruments  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value,  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest 
method, or cost. 

Amortised  cost  is  calculated  as  the  amount  at  which  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability  is  measured  at 
initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative 
amortisation  of  the  difference  between  that  initial  amount  and  the  maturity  amount  calculated  using  the 
effective interest method. 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period 
and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life 
of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Revisions to expected 
future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an 
income or expense item in profit or loss. 

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss  
Financial  assets  classified  as  held  for  trading  are  included  in  the  category  'financial  assets  at  fair 
value through profit or loss'. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for 
the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they 
are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are 
recognised in profit or loss.

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Holista CollTech Limited 

 (ii) Loans and receivables  
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that 
are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market.  Such  assets  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are 
derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.  

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments 
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified 
as  held-to-  maturity  when  the  Group  has  the  positive  intention  and  ability  to  hold  to  maturity. 
Investments  intended  to  be  held  for  an  undefined  period  are  not  included  in  this  classification. 
Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, 
plus  or  minus  the  cumulative  amortisation  using  the  effective  interest  method  of  any  difference 
between  the  initially  recognised  amount  and  the  maturity  amount.  This calculation  includes  all  fees 
and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective 
interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at  

amortised  cost,  gains  and  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  the  investments  are 
derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. 
If the Group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the 
whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.  

(iv) Available-for-sale investments  
Available-for-sale  investments  are  those  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  are  designated  as 
available-for-sale  or  are  not  classified  as  any  of  the  three  preceding  categories.  After  initial 
recognition  available-for  sale  investments  are  measured  at  fair  value  with  gains  or  losses  being 
recognised  as  a  separate  component  of  equity  until  the  investment  is  derecognised  or  until  the 
investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported 
in  equity  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  The  fair  value  of  investments  that  are  actively  traded  in 
organised  financial  markets  is  determined  by  reference  to  quoted  market  bid  prices  at  the  close  of 
business on the balance date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using 
valuation  techniques.  Such  techniques  include  using  recent  arm's  length  market  transactions, 
reference  to  the  current  market  value  of  another  instrument  that  is  substantially  the  same, 
discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.  

(v) Financial liabilities  
Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  other  than  financial  guarantees  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and 
the financial liability is derecognised. 

Impairment 
The Group assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.  

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost  
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has 
been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and 
the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) 
discounted  at  the  financial  asset's  original  effective  interest  rate  (i.e.  the  effective  interest  rate  computed  at 
initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance 
account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.  

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that 
are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. 
If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, 
whether  significant  or  not,  the  asset  is  included  in  a  group  of  financial  assets  with  similar  credit  risk 
characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Holista CollTech Limited 

individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not 
included in a collective assessment of impairment.  

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. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that 
the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.  

 (ii) Financial assets carried at cost  
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that 
is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is 
linked  to  and  must  be  settled  by  delivery  of  such  an  unquoted  equity  instrument,  the  amount  of  the  loss  is 
measured  as  the  difference  between  the  asset's  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future 
cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.  

(iii) Available-for-sale investments  
If  there  is  objective  evidence  that  an  available-for-sale  investment  is  impaired,  an  amount  comprising  the 
difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any 
impairment  loss  previously  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  is  transferred  from  equity  to  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale  
are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or 
loss  if  the  increase  in  an  instrument's  fair  value  can  be  objectively  related  to  an  event  occurring  after  the 
impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss 

Derecognition 
(i) Financial assets  
A financial asset or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) 
is derecognised when:  

• 
• 

• 

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;  
the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay 
them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or  
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either:  

a)  has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or  
b)  has  neither  transferred  nor  retained  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  the  asset,  but  has 

transferred control of the asset.  

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor 
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is 
recognised to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes 
the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of 
the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Group could be required to repay.  
When  continuing  involvement  takes  the  form  of  a  written  and/or  purchased  option  (including  a  cash-settled 
option  or  similar provision) on  the  transferred  asset,  the  extent  of  the  Group's  continuing involvement  is  the 
amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option 
(including  a  cash-settled  option  or  similar  provision)  on  an  asset  measured  at  fair  value,  the  extent  of  the 
Group's continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option 
exercise price.  

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

j) 

Interests in Joint Arrangements 
Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where 
unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required. 
Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers with an interest to net assets are classified as a "joint 
venture" and accounted for using the equity method. 
Joint  venture  operations  represent  arrangements  whereby  joint  operators  maintain  direct  interests  in  each 
asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Group's interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue 
and  expenses  of  joint  operations  are  included  in  the  respective  line  items  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. 
Gains  and  losses  resulting  from  sales  to  a  joint  operation  are  recognised  to  the  extent  of  the  other  parties' 
interests. When the Group makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains 
and losses from the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to a third party. 

k) 

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

Internally generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure  
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no  

internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense 
in the period as incurred.  

An  intangible  asset  arising  from  development  (or  from  the  development  phase  of  an  internal  project)  is 
recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:  

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;  
The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;  
The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;  

• 
• 
• 
•  How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;  
• 

The  availability  of  adequate  technical,  financial  and  other  resources  to  complete  development  and  to 
use or sell the intangible asset; and  

• 

The  ability  to  measure  reliably  the  expenditure  attributable  to  the  intangible  asset  during  its 
development.  

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred 
from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above.  
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.  
The following useful lives are used in the calculation of amortisation:  
Capitalised development  
Licences   
Software  

5 years  
10 years  
4 years 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination  
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill 
where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair values can be measured reliably.  
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less 
accumulated  amortisation  and  accumulated  impairment  losses,  on  the  same  basis  as  intangible  assets 
acquired separately.

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

l)  Foreign currency translation   

Functional and presentation currency 
The  functional  currency  of  each  of  the  Group’s  entities  is  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary 
economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency.  

Group companies 
The  financial  results  and  position  of  foreign  operation,  whose  functional  currency  is  different  from  the  Group’s 
presentation currency, are translated as follows; 

  Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period 
 
  Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 

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. The cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in 
the period in which the operation is disposed of. 

m)  Employee leave benefits 

(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave  
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave 
expected  to be  settled  within 12  months  of the balance  date  are  recognised in  other  payables  in  respect  of 
employees' services up to the balance date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the 
liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are  
measured at the rates paid or payable.  

(ii) Long service leave  
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the 
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the 
balance  date.  Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee 
departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the balance 
date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, 
the estimated future cash outflows. 

n)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the 
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised 
for future operating losses.  

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, 
the reimbursement is recognised as a separate assets but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The 
expense  relating  to  any  provision  is  presented  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  net  of  any 
reimbursement.  

Provisions are measured at the present value or management's best estimate of the expenditure required to 
settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.  
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that 
reflects  the  risks  specific  to  the  liability.  When  discounting  is  used,  the  increase  in  the  provision  due  to  the 
passage of time is recognised as an interest expense. 

o)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash comprises cash at bank and on hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are 
readily  convertible  to  known  amounts  of  cash  and  which  are  subject  to  an  insignificant  risk  of  changes  in 
value.  Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. 
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.  

p)  Revenue recognition   

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue 
are  net  of  returns,  trade  allowances,  rebates  and  amounts  collected  on  behalf  of  third  parties.  Revenue  is 
recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue 
can  be  reliably  measured.  The  following  specific  recognition  criteria  must  also  be  met  before  revenue  is 
recognised:  

(i) Sale of goods  
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the 
buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks  

and  rewards  of  ownership  are  considered  passed  to  the  buyer  at  the  time  of  delivery  of  the  goods  to  the 
customer.  

(ii) Rendering of services  
Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.  

(iii) Interest income  
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the 
financial asset.  

q)  Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at  
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables 
are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.  

Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are 
written  off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly.  An  allowance  account  is  used  when  there  is  objective 
evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. 
Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of 
the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the 
Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable 
and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where 
receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.  

The  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  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 other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.  

r)  Trade and other payables 

Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  and  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and 
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group 
becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and 
other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months. 

s)     Borrowing costs   

Borrowing  costs  are  capitalised  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of 
qualifying assets where the borrowing cost is added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets 
are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.  

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. 

t)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

•  when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, 
in  which  case  the  GST  is  recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of  acquisition  of  the  asset  or  as  part  of  the 
expense item as applicable; and  
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.  

• 

The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority  is  included  as  part  of 
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash 
flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, 
which  is  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation  authority,  are  classified  as  operating  cash  flows. 
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority. 

u)  Government grants   

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the 
grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs 
are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that 
they are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment 
are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis 
over the expected lives of the related assets.  

v)  New and Amended Accounting Policies Adopted by the Group 

The  Group  has  adopted  the  following  new  standards  and  amendments  to  standards,  including  any 
consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013. 

  AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements; 
  AASB 11: Joint Arrangements; 
  AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;  
  AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement;  
  AASB 119: Employee Benefits; and 
  AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements 

Accounting Standard and Interpretation 

AASB  10  ‘Consolidated  Financial  Statements’  and  AASB  2011-7  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’. 

AASB 10 replaces the parts of AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ that deal with 
consolidated  financial  statements  and  provides  a  revised  definition  of  “control”  such  that  an  investor 
controls an investee when: 

a) 

b) 

c) 

it has power over an investee; 

it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and 

has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.  

All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. This may result in an 
entity  having  to  consolidate  an  investee  that  was  not  previously  consolidated  and/or  deconsolidate  an 
investee that was consolidated under the previous accounting pronouncements. 

There have been no changes to the treatment of investees compared to prior year. 

AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising 
from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’ 

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures. AASB 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of 
which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and accounted for. Under AASB 11, there

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

Holista CollTech Limited 

are  only  two  types  of  joint  arrangements  –  joint  operations  and  joint  ventures.  The  classification  of  joint 
arrangements  under  AASB  11  is  determined  based  on  the  rights  and  obligations  of  parties  to  the  joint 
arrangements  by  considering  the  structure,  the  legal  form  of  the  arrangements,  the  contractual  terms 
agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. 

Application of this standard has not impacted on the financial statements of the Group. 

AASB  12  ‘Disclosure  of  Interests  in  Other  Entities’  and  AASB  2011-7  ‘Amendments  to  Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’ 

ASB  12 is  a  new  disclosure standard  and  is applicable to  entities that have  interests in subsidiaries,  joint 
arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 
has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. 

AASB  13  ‘Fair  Value  Measurement’  and  AASB  2011-8  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards 
arising from AASB 13’ 

The Group has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source 
of  guidance  for  fair  value  measurements  and  disclosures  about  fair  value  measurements.  The  scope  of 
AASB 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument  

items and non-financial instrument items for which other AASBs require or permit fair value measurements 
and  disclosures  about  fair  value  measurements,  except  for  share  based  payment  transactions  that  are 
within the scope of AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 
117  ‘Leases’,  and  measurements  that  have  some  similarities  to  fair  value  but  are  not  fair  value  (e.g.  net 
realisable  value  for  the  purposes  of  measuring  inventories  or  value  in  use  for  impairment  assessment 
purposes). 

AASB  119  ‘Employee  Benefits’  (2011)  and  AASB  2011-10  ‘Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards arising from AASB 119 (2011)’  

AASB 119 (as revised in 2011) changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. 
The  most  significant change relates to  the  accounting  for changes  in  defined benefit obligations  and plan 
assets.  The  amendments  require  the  recognition  of  changes  in  defined  benefit  obligations  and  in  the  fair 
value  of  plan  assets  when  they  occur,  and  hence  eliminate  the  ‘corridor  approach’  permitted  under  the 
previous version of AASB 119 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs.  

All actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately through other comprehensive income in order for 
the net pension asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the 
full value of the plan deficit or surplus. 

Application  is  AASB  119  Employee  Benefits  has  not  impacted  on  the  financial  statements  for  the  year 
ended 30 June 2014. In the year ended 30 June 2014, the Group has reviewed all of the new and amended  

Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  AASB  that  are  relevant  to  its  operations  and  effective  for  the 
current annual reporting period.  

A  number  of  new  standards,  amendments  to  standards  and  interpretations  issued  by  the  AASB  which  are 
not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial 
statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt 
these standards early: 

AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  and  associated  Amending  Standards  (applicable  for  annual  reporting  period 
commencing 1 January 2017) 

AASB 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under 
AASB  9,  financial  assets  are classified  and measured  based  on  the  business model  in  which  they  are  held 
and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The 2010 revisions introduce additional changes

w) 

Impairment of non-current assets 
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any 
such  indication  exists,  or  when  annual  impairment  testing  for  an  asset  is  required,  the  Group  makes  an 
estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less 
costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate 
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value 
in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as 
part of the cash- generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating 
unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written 
down to its recoverable amount. 

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.  Impairment  losses  relating  to  continuing  operations  are  recognised  in  those  expense  categories 
consistent  with  the  function  of  the  impaired  asset  unless  the  asset  is  carried  at  revalued  amount  (in  which 
case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).  

An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously  
recognised  impairment  losses  may  no  longer  exist  or  may  have  decreased.  If  such  indication  exists,  the 
recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a 
change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was 
recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That 
increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, 
had no impairment  loss been recognised for  the asset in  prior  years.  Such  reversal is  recognised in profit or 
loss  unless  the  asset  is  carried  at  revalued  amount,  in  which  case  the  reversal  is  treated  as  a  revaluation 
increase.

After  such  a  reversal  the  depreciation  charge  is  adjusted  in  future  periods  to  allocate  the  asset's  revised 
carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. 

x) 

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings 
Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Any  difference  between  the  proceeds  (net  of  transaction  costs) 
and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective 
interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the 
loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is 
deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of 
the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over 
the period of the facility to which it relates.  
The  fair  value  of  the  liability  portion  of  a  convertible  note  is  determined  using  a  market  interest  rate  for  an 
equivalent  non-convertible  note.  This  amount  is  recorded  as  a  liability  on  an  amortised  cost  basis  until 
extinguished on conversion or maturity of the note. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the  

conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of income tax effects. 
Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract 
is  discharged,  cancelled  or  expired.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  a  financial  liability  that 
has  been  extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the  consideration  paid,  including  any  non-cash 
assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.  
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of  
the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options  are  shown  in  equity  as  a  deduction,  net  of  tax,  from  the  proceeds.  Incremental  costs  directly 
attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the 
cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.  

z)  Parent entity financial information   

The financial information for the parent entity, Holista CollTech Limited, disclosed in Note 22 has been prepared 
on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.  

(i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities 
 Investments  in  subsidiaries,  associates  and  joint  venture  entities  are  accounted  for  at  cost  in  the  financial 
statements  of  Holista  CollTech  Limited.  Dividends  received  from  associates  are  recognised  in  the  parent 
entity's profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.  

(ii) Share-based payments  
The grant by the company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in 
the  group  is  treated  as  a  capital  contribution  to  that  subsidiary  undertaking.  The  fair  value  of  employee 
services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as 
an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on 
taxable profits under Australian tax law. There has been no change in this tax rate since the previous reporting year.  

The  Group  has  accumulated  tax  losses  of  $11,624,836  which  expected  to  be  available  indefinitely  for  offset  against 
future  taxable  profits  of  the  companies  in  which  the  losses  arose.  The  recoupment  of  these  losses  is  subject  to 
assessment of the Australian Taxation Office and the tax offices of the countries in which the Group operates in.

NOTE 5: SEGMENT REPORTING  
General 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 (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. 

Types of products and services by segment 

(i) Healthy Food ingredients and Food supplements 
The  segment  organises  contract  manufacturing  and  wholesale  of  food  ingredients  and  supplements  throughout 
Malaysia.    All  products  produced  are  aggregated  as  one  reportable  segment  as  the  products  are  similar  in  nature, 
manufactured and distributed to a similar type of customers, and subject to a similar regulatory environment. 

(ii) Sheep collagen 
This operating segment is involved in the manufacture and distribution of cosmetic grade collagen. 

(iii) Corporate 
This segment supports operating segments (i) and (ii). 

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 

(a) Accounting policies adopted 
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with 
respect  to  operating  segments,  are  determined  in  accordance  with  accounting  policies  that  are  consistent  to  those 
adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group. 

(b) Intersegment transactions  
The three segments operate independently and there are no intersegment sales.   

(c) Segment assets 
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of 
the  economic  value  from  the  asset.    In  most  instances,  segment  assets  are  clearly  identifiable  on  the  basis  of  their 
nature and physical location. 

(d) Segment liabilities 
Liabilities  are  allocated  to  segments  where  there  is  a  direct  nexus  between  the  incurrence  of  the  liability  and  the 
operations of the segment. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

Impairment Disclosure 

Collagen Extraction Facility in Collie, Western Australia 

This facility was built on land subject to a 20 years lease entered into in June 2004. The facility buildings have a carrying 
value  of  $nil  as  at  30  June  2014  (2013:  $986,519).  Whilst  this  extraction  facility  has  been  largely  inactive  since  its 
completion in 2005,  in  this  financial  year the factory  has  been  reactivated  to  deliver  2,000kg of  orders  received  from a 
customer in Thailand.  

The decision to impair the Collie facilities during the financial year is mainly due to the anticipation of the decline in world 
cosmetic  collagen. While  potential  new  revenue  from  Food Grade  collagen  is about  to materialise by  the  next  financial 
year, its expected gradual growth will require few years before it will be able to reach it full revenue potential.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while 
maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.  
The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from 2011.  
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders 
of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses.  
None of the Group's entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.  
Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand operations, as well as to make routine expenditures such as 
tax, dividends and general administrative outgoings.  
Gearing levels are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis in line with its target gearing ratio, the cost of capital and 
the risks associated with each class of capital.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents comprise restricted amounts which all have varied maturity dates within the next 12 months. 

(c)  Financial risk management objective 

The Group is exposed to market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, 
liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. 

(d)  Market risk  

The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity 
prices and exchange rates. The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure 
to foreign currency and commodity price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate 
and commodity price risk arising on its production.  
There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures 
the risk from the previous period.  
The Group does not have sufficient investments that would expose it to unmanageable market risks.  

(i) Foreign currency risk management  
The  Group  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currencies,  hence  exposures  to  exchange  rate 
fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign 
exchange contracts.  
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the 
balance date expressed in Australian dollars are as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis  
The Group is exposed to Malaysian ringgit (RM) currency fluctuations.  
The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against the 
relevant  foreign  currencies.  10%  is  the  sensitivity  rate  used  when  reporting  foreign  currency  risk  internally  to  key 
management  personnel  and  represents  management's  assessment  of  the  possible  change  in  foreign  exchange 
rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts 
their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.

(i) This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on receivables and payables at year end in the Group  
(ii) This is mainly as a result of the changes in fair value of the Australian net assets due to currency fluctuations.  
(ii) Interest rate risk management  
The  company  and  the  Group  are  exposed  to  interest  rate  risk  as  entities  in  the  Group  borrow  funds  at  both  fixed  and 
floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating 
rate borrowings. 

The  Company  and  the  Group’s  exposures  to  interest  rate  in  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  detailed  in  the 
liquidity risk management section of this note  

(iii) Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis  
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-
derivative instruments at the balance date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year 
and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest 
rate  risk  internally  to  key  management  personnel  and  represents  management's  assessment  of  the  change  in  interest 
rates.  
At balance date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the 
Group's: net  profit  would  increase  by  $5,000  and  decrease  by  $  5,000  (2013:  $5,000  ).  This  is  mainly  attributable  to  the 
Group's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.  
The Group's sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the current period mainly due to the reduction in variable 
rate debt instruments and the increase in interest rate swaps.  

(e) Credit risk management 
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only 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 publicly available financial information and its own trading record to 
rate its major customers. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and 
the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled 
by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.

liquidity  risk  management  framework  for  the  management  of  the  Group's  short,  medium  and  long-term  funding  and 
liquidity  management  requirements.  The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  reserves,  banking 
facilities  and  reserve  borrowing  facilities  by  continuously  monitoring  forecast  and  actual  cash  flows  and  matching  the 
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.  

The  following  table  details  the  company's  and  the  Group's  expected  contractual  maturity  for  its  non-derivative  financial 
liabilities.  These  have  been  drawn  up  based  on  undiscounted  contractual  maturities  of  the  financial  liabilities  including 
interest that will be payable on these liabilities except where the Group anticipates that the cash flow will occur in a different 
period.

to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report  that  is  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether 
due  to  fraud  or  error.    In  note  2  a),  the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standard  AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that  the  financial  report, 
comprising  the  financial  statements  and  notes,  complies  with  International  Financial  Reporting

Auditor’s responsibility  

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted 
our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that 
we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform 
the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  whether  the  financial  report  is  free  from  material 
misstatement.  

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and 
disclosures  in  the  financial  report.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgement, 
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant 
to  the  entity’s  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  report  in  order  to  design  audit 
procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an 
  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the 
opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity’s  internal  control.
appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates 
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.  

Our audit  did  not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by  directors or 
management. 

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

Auditor’s opinion  

In our opinion: 

(a) 

the  financial  report  of  Holista  CollTech  Limited  is  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act 
2001, including:  

(i) 

(ii) 

giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  consolidated  entity’s  financial  position  as  at  30 
June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and  
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 
2001.  

(b) 

the  consolidated  financial  report  also  complies  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as disclosed in note 2 a). 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern 

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter: 

As  referred  to  in  Note  2  d)  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  consolidated  financial 
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  At 30 June 2014 the consolidated entity 
had  cash  and  cash  equivalents  totalling  $1,511,648  (including  restricted  cash  of  $1,330,588), 
working capital  of $1,811,835 and  has  incurred a  loss before tax for the  year of  $3,788,673. The 
ability  of  the  Company  and  consolidated  entity  to  continue  as  going  concerns  is  subject  to  the 
future profitability of the Company and consolidated entity. In the event that the consolidated entity 
is not successful in returning to profitability, the Company and its subsidiaries may not be able to 
meet their  liabilities as  and  when  they fall due  and the realisable  value of the Company’s and its 
subsidiaries assets may be significantly less than book values. 

Report on the Remuneration Report  

We have audited the remuneration report included in pages 11 to 18 of the directors’ report for the 
year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the Company  are responsible for the preparation and 
presentation  of  the  remuneration  report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act 
2001.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  remuneration  report,  based  on  our  audit 
conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards 

Auditor’s opinion  
In our opinion the remuneration report of Holista CollTech Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
