CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Shareholders,

foreign exchange impact from the stronger U.S. dollar, the currency in which one of our subsidiaries operates. 

A major reason for the turnaround was the completion of major research and development (“R&D”) to improve our product line, 

Fat. These ingredients are a major focus for fast food chains and food manufacturers, which are working to address the global 
epidemic of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. 

Having achieved our R&D goals, our focus going forward is to enhance future growth and shareholder value by expanding our 
three  core  business  pillars,  forging  strategic partnerships  to widen our  distribution  channels, and  moving up  the  value  chain, 
including quality assurance.

Business Review 

The turnaround of our bottom-line was achieved on a 9% increase in turnover to A$6.79 million in FY2015 from A$6.23 million in 
FY2014, mainly from sales of dietary supplements in Malaysia and of cosmetic grade sheep collagen, Ovicoll. Sales of the latter 
have risen over the last three years, and reached A$187,715 in FY2015. 

in the United States, a market with vast potential due to its many global fast food and processed food brands. We are actively 
engaging with these players and promoting our proprietary Low Sodium Salt, Low Calorie Sugar, Low Glycemic Index (“GI”) and 
Low Fat Chip.

Sales of Supplements

Malaysian sales of dietary supplements remain our largest revenue contributor. In FY2015, we secured exclusive rights to distribute 
PRISTIN  MOPL®,  Norwegian  herring  caviar  oil  and  the  “third  generation”  extension  of  PRISTIN,  our  in-house  brand  which

We  also  secured  distribution  rights  in  Asia  for  EMULIN™,  a  patented  natural  plant-based  compound  to  reduce  blood  sugar

liposomes that penetrate the skin. The liposomes transport and reduce the toxicity of anti-ageing active ingredients which, after

TM 

We  intend  to  commence  full  commercial  shipments  of 
food-grade sheep collagen in FY2016, which are expected 
to record higher revenues compared to cosmetic collagen 
in the near future. The daily dose of food-grade collagen is 
150 grams a month, which is 150 times more than the single 
gram recommended for cosmetic application. 

We  are  targeting  direct  marketing  companies,  amongst 
other sales and distribution channels, to launch our food-
grade  collagen.  Towards  this  end,  the  Group  intends  to 
commission new equipment at its plant in Collie, Australia, 

Healthy Food Ingredients

Having  completed  major  R&D,  our  newly  incorporated 
U.S. subsidiary  Litefood  Inc. (“Litefood”) has commenced 
active discussions in the country to commercialise our Low 
Sodium Salt, Low Calorie Sugar, Low Glycemic Index (“GI”) 
and Low Fat Chip. 

I am also pleased to report that we have begun selling our 
Low Sodium Salt and Low Calorie Sugar, albeit at a lower 
scale, through a Malaysian subsidiary. We will focus on the 
Business-to-Business  (B2B)  market  to  sell  the  ingredients, 
as this model seems more appropriate than the Business-
to-Consumer  (B2C)  model,  which  will  require  substantial 
capital. 

Apart  from  discussions  with  fast  food  companies  in  the 

of Sydney for a potential European customer, with results 
expected  in  September  2015.  Large-scale  commercial 
testing of the Low Fat Chip will begin in Europe in the last 
quarter of FY2016. 

Strategic Partnerships 

During  the  year  under  review,  we  forged  a  strategic 
partnership with U.S.-based multi-level marketing company 
iGalen Pte Ltd (iGalen), which sells products that naturally 

including  Emulin  and  Ovinex,  to  a  wide-ranging  network 
that includes the ASEAN countries and Australia.

Holista  has  been  building  international  partnerships  in 
order to market key products and access biopharmaceutical 
product patents and intellectual properties worldwide. We 
expect sales to grow as we widen our distribution network 
and increase our suite of products. 

Quality Assurance

As part of our efforts to constantly move up the value chain, 
Holista has spearheaded the launch of an anti-counterfeiting 

security  authentication  pioneered  by  Sekuworks  LLC 
(“Sekuworks”). Sekuworks is an established security printer 
and technology integrator that provides brand protection 
and other anti-counterfeiting solutions, including currency-
printing technology.  

Our  premium  PRISTIN  MOPL®  is  now  tagged  with 
to  prevent 
Sekuworks’  QR 

track-and-trace  system 

secured at the highest level.  

Outlook 

Holista completed the bulk of our R&D during the year under 
review, at a time when we also expanded our distribution 
network  and  moved  up  the  value  chain.  We  expect  to 
drive  future  growth  by  introducing  more  new  products  – 
especially cosmetic and food-grade sheep collagen, as well 
as healthy food ingredients – to bigger markets. 

FY2015,  as  well  as  our  R&D  efforts,  have  laid  a  strong 
foundation that positions us as a world-class manufacturer 
of proprietary food ingredients.

Appreciation 

On behalf of the Board, I would like to personally thank our 

period. I would also like to express my appreciation for our 
R&D collaborators, retailers, suppliers and customers. 
Most of all, I would like to convey my gratitude to my fellow 
directors  –  past  and  present  –  for  guiding  the  company 
and charting our course, as well as my colleagues for their 
continuous support and dedication.
In  closing,  allow  me  to  reiterate  Holista’s  commitment  to 
adding value for our shareholders. I look forward to another 
exciting year ahead with all of you.

FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENTS
The basic building blocks of all food products, dubbed the 4-S Tsunami, are Salt, Sugar, Starch and Saturated Fat. These ingredients 
are a major focus for fast food chains and food manufacturers, which are working to address the global epidemic of obesity, 
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. 

Our U.S.-incorporated subsidiary, LiteFoods,Inc., a specialty food ingredient company with research and development facilities in 
Australia and Malaysia, concentrates on taking the guilt out of ‘guilty pleasures’ like fries, bread, sugar and salt.

LiteFoods’ proprietary Low Sodium Salt, Low Calorie Sugar, Low Glycemic Index (“GI”) and Low Fat Chip aim to create a healthier 

eating experience. 

Low Sodium Salt (LITESALTTM)
LITESALT reduces sodium levels in salt by 25% to 40%, significantly lowering the risk of blood pressure and heart disease. Our 
reduced sodium salt product replaces sodium with a proprietary potassium blend without an unpleasant metallic taste, and works 
equally well in water- and oil-based foods.

Low Fat Chip (NeusoliteTM)
NeusoliteTM combines FDA-compliant natural ingredients in our patent-pending two-stage wash system, which dramatically reduc-
es the amount of oil and saturated fat in deep-fried products such as chips. The final product reduces calories by up to 40%, 
creating crispier and healthier fried food.

Low GI Bread (Gi LITETM) 
Gi LITETM is a proprietary blend of ingredients based on two common Asian foods, okra (ladies finger) and the Indian mung beans, 
used  in  very  low  concentration.  They  are  added  to  the  manufacturing  process  to  create  wholesome  breads,  buns  and  pizzas 
without compromising taste. It reduces the glycemic index in bread by up to 40%, effectively delivering a low Gi ‘wholemeal bread’ 
with the look, taste and texture of white bread.

Low Calorie Sugar (ZEROVIATM, 80LESSTM)
ZEROVIATM is a zero-calorie sugar substitute that can be used for virtually any application (except as a bulking agent) with no 
aftertaste. It can be used in cooking: a single teaspoon of ZEROVIATM is the equivalent of two teaspoons of sugar, with none of the 
calories.

80LessTM – 80LESS is five times sweeter than sugar with 80% fewer calories. It is specifically designed and processed for use with 
liquid and dry mix applications.

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
The  Supplements business  segment of Holista  CollTech forms  our  largest  revenue  stream,  with a  strong  distribution network 
throughout Malaysia. We market and sell 23 different proprietary supplements through our two wholly owned subsidiaries, with 
new products in the pipeline.

These  products  include  PRISTIN,  our  in-house  brand  which  has  dominated  Malaysia’s  Omega  3  supplements  market  for  six 
consecutive years; LACTO-5, probiotics to aid digestion; and MOO, a calcium and mineral extract from milk.

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 its subsidiaries in Malaysia. Market conditions in Malaysia have changed during the past 12 months mainly 

recently, the introduction of Goods and Service Tax (GST) 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

Furthermore,  the  company  has  also  generated  new  source  of  revenue  by  supplying  raw  materials  to  Multi-Level  Marketing 
companies. The Group will continue to source new potential products for the coming year. 

Prudent  cost  management  in  this  dietary  supplement  business in  Malaysia  has resulted in  cost  reduction  from $3,587,119 to

and development of its food grade collagen formulation focusing on yield and quality. The Company has managed to produce 

of this new range of product to support its existing cosmetic grade collagen. The potential of the food grade collagen is huge as 
it is the only mammalian collagen in the market which is neutral to all religious groups and cultures. This is also an appeal of being 
“Australian sourced” and “disease free”.

The company is also working with a European research & 
development partner to develop variants of highly absorbed 
collagen for food and cosmetic applications. 

Healthy Food Ingredients
The Group’s key focuses are:-
• Low Sodium Salt
• Low Fat Chip
• Low Glycemic Index (“GI”)
• Low Calorie Sugar

During the year, Litefood Inc. (“Litefood”) which was incorporated in the United States of America (“USA”) continues to focus 
on the commercialisation of this new market segment. The USA are well known to be the home of large fast food chains and by 
being close to the market will present opportunities for the Group to generate income from this area in the near future. (www.
litefoodsinc.com).  

The Group has begun to sell its Low Sodium Salt and Low Calorie Sugar albeit in lower scale through one of its subsidiaries in 
Malaysia. The demand has been quite encouraging but has been quite limited as it is a Business to Consumer (B2C) market which 
requires huge capital to promote. The Group believes that Business to Business (B2B) will be the most appropriate method to 

the University of Sydney.

In the USA, it is working with several fast food companies. 

Operating results for the year
The Group has recorded a 9% increase in revenue from $6,227,814 to $6,788,953 mainly from the Dietary Supplements and Sheep 

Dollar against the Australian Dollar and Malaysia Ringgit. The Group’s investment in LiteFood to commercialise its Healthy Food 
Ingredient business has also prevented the Group from recording better results.

For the past three (3) years, revenue generated from our cosmetic grade sheep collagen has been growing consistently with sales 

despite the declining trend of animal based cosmetic products around the world.

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 2015 is detailed in Table 1 of this report.

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.

involved in development and commercialisation of food ingredients and ovine collagen.

NOTE 2: SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)  Basis of preparation

accordance  with  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASBs)  adopted  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards 
Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

b)  Principles of Consolidation

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.

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-

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-

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

The Group’s cosmetic collagen business has continued to grow, generating revenue of $187,715 (2014: $115,070) 
from its Collagen Plant in Perth, Western Australia. Revenue from this business will continue to grow in the coming 
year with an order on hand of 3,500kg from Thailand to be delivered by December 2015. There is an expectation that 
more orders will be secured from January 2016 to June 2016 which promise to continue the growth of this business

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.

NOTE 2: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 

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 account-
ing 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 recog-
nition 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

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that 

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. 

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.

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 
(i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement

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).

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

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

if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) 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: 

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 

(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.

impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item. However,

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

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.

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

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; 

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 

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:

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  intangible  assets  acquired  in  a  business  combination  are  reported  at  cost  less

n)  Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, 

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.

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 

(i) Sale of goods 

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 

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 

set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future

r)  Trade and other payables

Trade  payables  and  other  payables  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  and  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services 

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. 

t)  Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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

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 

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 

to compensate. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-

of the related assets.

amendments have no impact on the Group, since none of the entities in the Group has any offsetting arrangements.

Hedge Accounting

These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated 
as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria and retrospective application is required. These amendments have no 
impact on the Group as the Group has not novated any of its derivatives during the current or prior periods.

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 

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.

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 

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.

w) 

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 

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.

(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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF  
HOLISTA COLLTECH LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report  

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Holista CollTech Limited, which comprises 
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of 
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity 
and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary 
of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of 
the  consolidated  entity  comprising  the  company  and  the  entities  it  controlled  at  the  year’s  end  or 
from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ responsibility for the Financial Report  

The  directors  of  the  company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary 
to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report  that  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 
Standards. 

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.

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations 
Act 2001. 

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 2015 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 2015 the consolidated entity 
had cash and cash equivalents totalling $497,766 (including restricted cash of $434,161), working 
capital of $1,456,298 and has incurred a profit before tax for the year of $107,771. 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 maintaining 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 16 to 23 of the directors’ report for the
