About Us 
Holista Colltech’s core business is to conduct research to find natural solutions so that people can live healthier lives. It 
holds proprietary solutions to help food manufacturers produce healthier alternatives – without use of chemicals – that do 
not compromise tastes and mouth-feel. Building on its network Holista has also developed sanitising solutions for individual 
and corporate use to prevent pandemic infection. 

Corporate Profile 

Holista Colltech Ltd (Holista) is a research-driven biotech company, a result of the merger of Holista Biotech Sdn Bhd and 
Colltech  Australia Ltd. It is listed on the  Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:HCT), headquartered in Sydney and has 
extensive operations in Malaysia and North America.  

In the Food Ingredients space, Holista specialises in herbs and natural products that allow food manufacturers to produce 
healthier products. Mindful that the people find it difficult to change eating habits despite the growing incidence of diabetes 
and obesity, Holista has created a suite of ingredients that does not compromise on taste, odour and  mouthfeel. It  has 
brought to markets thus far, low-Glycemic Index (GI) bread, noodles/pasta and flatbreads as well as low-calorie/Low-GI 
sugar. 

Holista  is  the  only  company  in  the  world  that  produces ovine  collagen from  Australian  sheep  using  patented  extraction 
methods. It is on track to nano-nise and encapsulate liposomes for the ovine collagen. 

Holista is a leader in Malaysia for the distribution of natural health supplements. It leverages on its research background 
and scientific network to build a world-class company focused on providing consumers with scientifically enhanced natural 
supplements and consumer products. 

The outbreak  of the COVID-19 pandemic  has accelerated the development  and market outreach  of  its infection control 
solutions, in partnership with Global Infection Control Consultants LLC (“GICC”). Holista is the exclusive distributor of the 
all-natural Path-Away ® active ingredient developed by U.S.-based GICC for use as a sanitiser. It is also jointly developing 
with GICC a nasal sanitising balm and other solutions to combat airborne infection.

Directors' report

Managing Director’s Report 

Dear Shareholders,  

On behalf of the Board of Directors (“the Board”) of Holista Colltech Limited (“Holista or the Group”), I am pleased to present 
our Annual Report and audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 (“FY2020”). 

The  period  under  review  has  been  the  toughest  time  for  many  of  us,  both  professionally  and  personally,  but  Holista 
shareholders can at least take heart that our company is emerging from the COVID-19 global crisis in a stronger position. 

While  Holista  recorded  a  net  loss  after  tax  of  $5.7  million  in  FY2020,  this  was  largely  driven  by  one-off  factors  and  our 
revenues were resilient. Group revenue held relatively steady at over $7 million in the financial year as strong growth in our 
Healthy Food Ingredients and Infection Control Solutions businesses offset declines in the Dietary Supplements and Ovine 
Collagen divisions – both of which were severely hindered by the pandemic. 

Your Board of Directors and I believe that the Group will deliver an improved result in the current financial year as the world 
overcomes the impact of COVID-19 and as the growth momentum in our Healthy Food and Infection Control businesses 
continue to accelerate. 

Healthy Food Ingredients: Breakthrough on International Markets Despite COVID-19 
Our  efforts  to  commercialise  our  organic  and  natural-tasting  healthy  food  ingredients  after  seven  years  of  research  and 
development is paying off as our unique technology was validated through two significant developments in the past financial 
year: 
i) 

We secured a sizeable order from US-based Constanzo’s Bakery (“Costanzo’s”) for the Group’s proprietary GI-
Lite™ Bread Pre-mix for a dedicated range of low-Glycemic Index (GI) bread rolls. Constanzo’s is an established 
baked goods supplier to deli chains and major supermarkets across North America. Constanzo’s has committed 
to  purchase  a  minimum  of  165  tons  of  GI-Lite™  worth  around  US$1.9  million  (~A$2.5  million)  in  the  first  12 
months of the agreement, and this increases to 220 tons (~US$2.5 million) in each of the next two years. 

ii) 

Holista also received sizable orders from two leading Asian food and beverage manufacturers during the year 
in  review,  although  these  orders  were  more  modest  than  anticipated  due  to  the  impact  of  the  pandemic. 
Malaysian-listed Rex Industry Bhd purchased 80Less™, which is Holista’s proprietary low-GI, low-calorie sugar 
substitute that can reduce the sugar content of food and drinks without altering the taste of the product or leaving 
an after-taste. The order was placed as part of Rex’s five-year agreement with Holista that is estimated to be 
worth around A$7 million in total. Meanwhile, Kawan Food Berhad placed orders for GI-Lite™, which it used to 
develop the world’s first healthy Low-GI Asian flatbread. 

As vaccination programmes are rolled out around the  world and border restrictions ease, we will  increase  our marketing 
efforts to build on the sales momentum we have achieved in FY2020. The outlook for our unique healthy food ingredients is 
bright as demand is expected to increase due to demographic factors and the prospect of more countries adopting a “sugar-
tax” to combat the ever increasing rates of obesity. 

Infection Control Solutions: Further growth opportunities post COVID 
Another significant development – propelled by the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 – was the traction achieved by our 
Infection  Control  Solutions  business.  Holista  secured  global  distribution  rights  from  US-based  Global  Infection  Control 
Consultants LLC (GICC) to distribute an active ingredient known as Path-Away® just before COVID-19 was declared a global 
pandemic.  

Path-Away®  is  the  active  ingredient  in  Holista’s  NatShield™  branded  sanitisers  that  are  sold  through  retail  outlets  in 
Malaysia. The popularity of NatShield™ is driven by consumers looking for an efficacious all-natural and alcohol-free hand 
sanitiser, which has been independently proven to be effective against a a range of pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2 (the 
virus that causes COVID-19). 

We aren’t stopping with hand sanitisers. Holista is close to launching a nasal sanitising balm containing ProtecteneTM, which 
was acquired from GICC. ProtecteneTM shares the same properties as Path-Away® but is gentler on skin and can be applied 
to sensitive parts of the body.

Holista Colltech Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

Holista  has  also  commenced  an  application  with  the  Therapeutic  Goods  Administration  of  Australia  (TGA)  for  labelling 
rights to claim Natshield™ and Protectene™ as being effective against COVID-19. 

Further, Holista has partnered with GICC to pursue opportunities for the M3® system outside the US. The system works 
by dispensing Path-Away® through heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to treat airborne viruses. M3® 
could prove to be an indispensable tool in controlling the spread of new highly contagious variants of COVID-19 in buildings 
and hotel quarantine facilities. 

Outlook 

The volatility created by the global pandemic is expected to persist in 2021, but there has been a marked improvement in 
trading conditions across much of the Group’s operations since the start of the current financial year. 

The strong momentum achieved by the Healthy Food Ingredients business is expected to continue as Costanzo’s launches 
a range of Low-GI white bread products using Holista’s technology in the 2nd Quarter of 2021 across North America. The 
healthier and better tasting white bread is expected to be a significant growth driver for Holista from 2021 onwards. 

Additionally, orders from Kawan Foods and Rex Industry are anticipated to improve this year as the disruptions from the 
pandemic in Malaysia and Singapore ease further. We are also close to commercialising low-calorie and low-GI tapioca 
pearls  and  sugar  syrup  for  use  in  bubble  tea.  The  pearls  will  complement  Holista’s  range  of  healthier  food  product 
ingredients, including those for flatbreads, noodles and white bread. 

Growing demand for sanitising solutions is also expected to persist in 2021 and beyond, even as mass COVID-19 vaccines 
are rolled out around the world. The ongoing long-term use of sanitisers bodes well for NatShield™ and Protectene™ as 
Holista believes consumers will increasingly turn to all-natural and gentler solutions compared to alcohol-based products. 

Our plans to expand Holista’s infection control offering will provide an additional growth avenue for the Group in the current 
financial year. This includes launching our sanitising nasal balm in the United States, Malaysia and Singapore this year 
and offering the M3® system for building ventilation and fogging applications to enterprise and government clients. 

Holista filed a global patent for the nasal sanitising balm in July 2020 and has commissioned a TGA application to classify 
its  sanitisers  as  “Therapeutic  Goods”  and  for  labelling  rights  to  claim  their  effectiveness  against  COVID-19  after  we 
successfully demonstrated that Path-Away® can kill 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 in an independent lab. 

Meanwhile,  the  Company’s  Dietary  Supplements  and  Ovine  Collagen  businesses  are  recovering  from  the  coronavirus 
economic conditions in FY2020. There has been a notable resumption in orders for Holista’s dietary supplements across 
all markets since the 4th quarter of 2020, while enquiry levels for its collagen product from cosmetics manufacturers around 
Asia have also increased. 

This year is shaping up to be a big year for Holista, and I look forward to bringing you further updates throughout 2021. 

Best regards, 

DR RAJEN MANICKA

Directors' report

Message from our Key Partners 
MS. NADJA PIATKA 
CEO of Nadja Foods and CEO of Holista Foods 
All over the world, fast food, desserts and soft drinks have become part of modern lifestyle. Diet is a major cause of obesity 
and diabetes but food habits are hard to change. The challenge is to help food manufacturers produce healthier food without 
changing processes to much of increasing their costs significantly.  

As a bakery supplier to fast-food chains for over 24 years, I have spent most of my career working to meet this challenge. 
It began with the low-fat movement in the nineties when I achieved great success with a line of muffins I created. However, 
the science has moved on; it is increasingly clear that the new frontier is to provide healthy yet tasty versions for most of 
the products in the food and beverage industry.  

Moreover, there is increasing awareness about diets containing a high-Glycaemic Index (GI) and the high correlation with 
diabetes and obesity. People are trying to make conscious health decisions. The food and beverage industry is well aware 
of this. Hence, industry manufacturers and fast-food chains worldwide are in a race to roll out healthier options to win over 
customers. 
The weak link – and the great opportunity for Holista Foods – is in the food manufacturing process: how can they produce 
healthier options that taste as good while remaining profitable. Working with Dr Rajen and his team, we have developed 
and received validation for GI Lite™ that lowers the GI of white flour-based products while maintaining the original taste of 
the food products.  

After collaborating with Holista CollTech for the past few years, I’ve seen first-hand the potential to revolutionise the global 
food and beverage industry whilst meeting the concerns of food and drink manufacturers. Given the market opportunity, it 
then made sense to cement our partnership with Holista through our joint-venture company, Holista Foods.  

FY2019 has been a great year for Holista Foods as we kicked off the year by collaborating with Malaysia’s Kawan Food 
Berhad to co-produce low-GI versions of Asian flatbreads – paratha (roti canai) and chapatti. They have been successfully 
tested as low-GI by the University of Sydney and will be launched in April 2020 in the U.S. followed by Malaysia markets. 

We also won the 2019 U.S.A. Taste Championships Award of Excellence for two types of our low-GI pasta, spaghetti and 
linguine. We also commenced maiden shipment for our low-GI noodles to Express Trading Canada to be exported to China 
as  well  as  received  regulatory  approval  for  our  noodles  in  South  Korea  followed  by  a  maiden  purchase  order  by  HWH 
Global,  a  Korean  multi-level  marketing  company.  The  low-GI  noodles  are  already  sold  on  Amazon.  Holista  Foods  also 
appointed iLevel Brands, a national broker sales team, to increase market presence in North American retail stores. We 
are delighted to announce that our ground work in 2019, which included increased efficiencies in production and exciting 
rebranding and packaging, has quickly propelled us into many new distribution centres across the US and Canada in the 
first quarter of 2020. Strong sales are expected for 2020 as major grocery store chains are placing Holista low GI pasta on 
their shelves.  

We expect to launch by June 2020 the first low GI white bread in North America through our collaboration with Costanzo’s 
Bakery, a large US based bread manufacturer. Preliminary testing results on the white buns have been very positive. 

Apart from underscoring our quality for our existing products, we also launched our proprietary low-GI, low-calorie refined 
sugar,  80Less™  that  is  made  from  two  natural  internationally  approved  substances,  Sucrose  and  Sucralose  and  can 
replace sugar in all applications. We have appointed All Gold Imports as its distributor in Canada and the U.S.  

We also collaborated with another Malaysian company, SunFresh Fruit Hub Sdn Bhd to co-produce low-GI versions bubble 
tea  ingredients  –  tapioca  pearls,  sugar  syrup  and  sugar  caramel  (brown  sugar)  while  using  GI  Lite™  and  80Less™  to 
produce low-GI tapioca pearls and sugar syrup respectively and introducing proprietary brown sugar (sugar caramel) made 
of molasses which derives the same sweetness with lower calories. This collaboration is expected to have positive sales 
outcomes for both GI Lite™ and 80Less™.  

During the coming year, we will continue to look for collaborations for our proprietary products – GI Lite™ and 80Less™ 
and continue to develop and market low-GI baked and flour-based goods and mixes which can be distributed to fast food 
companies, retailers, schools and hospitals. 

Our joint venture aims to convince food and drink manufacturers and fast-food chains to accept a new and better way to 
make food healthier. We have broadened our focus from North America to Asia, especially Malaysia and China, where 
obesity and diabetes, linked to high glycaemic foods, have become a serious problem that has strained health care costs 
and negatively affected living standards.

Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

MR. MEIERT J. GROOTES 
Chairman of VERIPAN AG, a partner of Holista CollTech 

Obesity is one of the greatest threats to the global economy. This man-made social problem is more serious than climate 
change, smoking or air pollution. It impacts half of Europe and 30% of the global population. In the 34 years up to 2014, 
the prevalence of obesity more than doubled –more than 2 billion adults aged 18 years and older are overweight today. 
Obesity is a chronic disease, growing in severity in both developed and developing countries, and affects all age groups. 
The problem seems particularly acute in countries such as Malaysia and Singapore which have the highest incidences of 
obesity in Southeast Asia (The Lancet, 2014). 

In my opinion, the reformulation of food products should, from the onset, have been one of the main areas of our R&D 
efforts to combat obesity. This is why we at Veripan sought to tackle the crisis head first by targeting one of the biggest 
staple foods in the world – white bread which many people eat almost daily. 

The global white bread market alone is currently worth US$170 billion, and it continues to grow. Multiple studies have linked 
an increase in white bread consumption to weight gain. This is observed particularly in Asian countries where the effects 
of recent Westernisation of diets are increasingly evident. 

With a Glycaemic Index (GI) of 77, white bread has the highest GI reading among staple foods. Essentially, the GI is a 
simple way to measure the quality of the carbohydrates we consume daily. Foods with a low GI (below 55) raise the blood 
sugar more slowly and sustain longer, making the person feel full for longer. A high GI number, however, means that blood 
sugar will spike, giving the person a sugar rush, which plummets shortly after, causing a quicker feeling of hunger. 

In our partnership with Holista, we have worked on a significant reduction of the GI of products that are made from white 
flour – such as bread, muffins and noodles – in a simple and cost-effective way. 

The  past  year  we  have  worked  very  hard  to  launch  the  first  low  GI  breads  in  the  market.  Together  with  an  Australian 
consortium we  intend to launch a  low GI white bread in Australia  in May-June 2019. For this launch a special purpose 
brand, which will be disclosed soon, has been developed. Our product is fully backed by the GI foundation, and after a 
successful launch in Australia a global roll-out is planned. The past years have been a long and bumpy journey; however, 
we are convinced that our innovation will finally hit global markets in 2020.  

Thank you!

Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

DR ARTHUR MARTIN 
Founder and President Principal Research Scientist of Global Infection Control Consultants LLC (GICC LLC) and Member 
of Holista’s Scientific Advisory Board. 

Currently, the entire world is suffering from the pandemic of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus that originated from Wuhan, 
China, on 17 November 2019. As I write, the disease has affected more than 169,500 and killed over 6,500 people, leaving 
people panicking and unsure of how to protect themselves. 

While I am deeply saddened by the tragic outcome, I am also excited by GICC LLC’s partnership with Holista in offering a 
solution to address this pandemic. Together, we are making available hand-held sanitisers and other products that use an 
active ingredient, Path-Away®, developed by GICC LLC. Such sanitisers can offer the first line of defence in preventing 
infection of such coronaviruses which usually attack humans via the eyes, the mouth or the nose – the last being most 
vulnerable. 

Path-Away® has been developed after years of research into the properties of certain plants. Made entirely from natural 
substances it contains no alcohol, which is present in most sanitisers. It works by attacking the cell walls of the microbes, 
inhibiting their uptake of amino acids – the basic building block of cells – needed for reproduction. The microbes then clump 
together and kill themselves in the process. 

This organic, broad-spectrum anti-pathogenic solution has been proven to effective as a sanitiser against more than 170 
fungi, bacteria, yeasts and all previously known corona-type viruses. It is tested at several WHO-approved laboratories and 
approved by several government authorities including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Food and Safety 
Authority  and  Environmental  Protection  Authority  of  New  Zealand  and  the  Malaysian  Ministry  of  Health  with  special 
reference to the H1N1 virus. 

Working with Holista, we have facilitated tests on Path-Away® to prove its efficacy against COVID-19. The tests are being 
conducted at a leading microbiology lab in the U.K. and results are expected by the middle of April 2020. 

After  the  COVID-19  health  situation  worsened,  I  visited  Kuala  Lumpur  in  February  2020.  I  am  very  encouraged  by  the 
efforts of the Holista team under the leadership of Dr Rajen Manicka. The team practices stringent controls and has resolved 
the initial issues with bottling shortage, while also increasing the size range of the hand-held NatShield™ that uses Path-
Away®. 

On that visit,  and after assessing the scale of the problem arising from COVID-19 as well as from influenza (which will 
particularly impact Europe during the winter season), GICC LLC has made two decisions:   
● 

 19 March 2020 - Co-development with Holista of the world’s first nasal sanitizing balm using Path-Away®; we plan to 
file a joint patent and commence production all by the second half of 2020. 
 3 March 2020 - Granting Global distribution rights to Holista for NatShield™ sanitiser which will later include the nasa  
sanitising balm. 

● 

The COVID-19 situation has thrown into sharp focus the need to address airborne infection. While our work with Holista is 
primarily focused on saving lives, we will also look into ways to partner and bring other solutions using Path-Away® to help 
industry segments. These include infection control for animals and plants, to boost agriculture production, personal care 
products, and protection of textiles during shipment and logistics. 

Based in Bluffton, South Carolina, USA, GICC LCC offers expertise relating to the control of pathogenic contamination and 
the dynamics of the pathogenic bio-aerosol connection to the human infection matrix.

Holista Colltech Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

Operating and financial review 
Holista  delivered  steady  revenues  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2020  despite  the  global  COVID-19  crisis  that  had  a 
material but temporary impact on Group earnings.  

Holista recognised total revenue of $7.1 million for the 12-month ended 31 December 2020, which was 2.1% below that of 
2019 (2019: $7.2 million), as weakness in parts of its business due to the impact of COVID-19 was offset by strong growth 
in two key divisions. 

Statutory net profit before tax for 2020 was a loss of $5.6 million compared with a net loss of $0.7 million in the previous year 
that  were  largely  due  to  significant  one-off  items.  These  included  impairment  of  $3.3  million  and  legal  costs  $0.2  million 
associated with certain legal matters commenced during the year with various parties as described in note 31 'Contingent 
liabilities'. 

The 2020 disruption caused by the global pandemic on Holista’s operations and change in the Group’s sales mix accounted 
for  the  balance  of  the  difference  between  losses  recorded  in  2020  and  2019.  Holista’s  fastest  growing  businesses  have 
smaller margins due to the required investments to build scale, expand into new markets and launch new product offerings. 

Operations Review 
a. Healthy Food Ingredients 
Holista’s Healthy Food Ingredients division is gaining momentum with sales increasing by 625% over the year before to just 
over $1 million in 2020. The growth is bolstered by orders from Kawan Food Berhad, which has developed the world’s first 
healthy low-Glycemic Index (GI) Asian flatbread using GI Lite™, and Rex Industry Berhad for Holista’s proprietary 80Less™ 
(low-calorie and low-GI) sugar substitute for use in its drinks. However, restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19 in 
Malaysia and Singapore meant that orders from Kawan and Rex in FY2020 were lower than was originally forecasted at the 
start of the year. 

The division’s strong growth was also partly due to the expansion into the North American market with Costanzo’s Bakery, 
Inc.  signing  a  binding  agreement  during  FY2020  (announced  October  2020)  to  purchase  around  US$2  million  a  year  of 
Holista’s GI Lite™ Bread Premix, for three years. 

Another significant event during the course of the year was the validation from the University of Sydney that tortillas made 
with GI Lite™ were at least 30% healthier compared to traditional versions of flatbreads sold around the world. 

Holista’s proprietary food ingredients technologies can also be applied to the manufacture of healthier noodles, tapioca pearls 
(used in bubble tea) and sugar syrup without sacrificing taste.

Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

b. Infection Control Solutions 
Holista’s Infection Control Solutions business was another growth contributor as it achieved sales of $665,000 in FY2020. 
This is the first year that this business contributed to Group revenue as COVID-19 drove demand for its NatShieldTM range 
of products, which uses PathAway®.  

PathAway® is made from all-natural ingredients and independent tests at Microbac Laboratories, Inc. have shown it to be 
99.9% effective against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. Microbac is a US Department of Defense (DoD) and 
Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) accredited laboratory. 

Holista entered into a non-binding collaboration term sheet for a joint-venture (JV) in September 2020 with its long-standing 
US partner Global Infection Control Consultants LLC (GICC) to manufacture and market the M3® system, which works by 
dispensing  Path-Away®  through  heating,  ventilation  and  air-conditioning  (“HVAC”)  systems  in  buildings  to  treat  harmful 
pathogens, including airborne viruses. PathAway® is currently awaiting “List N” certification in the US. List N is managed by 
the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and products on List N are deemed by the EPA to kill SARS-CoV-2. As at 
the reporting date, the JV has not been formed.   

From December of last year, Holista was able to start offering a List N solution to disinfect buildings and kill coronavirus by 
using  the  M3®  system  with  Bioesque,  which  is  secured  from  Laboratoire  M2,  while  awaiting  List  N  certification  for 
PathAway®.  The same range is also under registration with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration to be offered 
along with M3®.. 

A further significant development during FY2020 was the acquisition of the intellectual property and all associated rights to 
Protectene™ by Holista from GICC. Protectene™ has all the benefits of PathAway® but is gentler on skin. The acquisition 
enables Holista to offer sanitising products that can be used on sensitive parts of the body, such as a nasal balm. 

The nasal balm formulation is now finalised and will be launched in the United States, Malaysia and Singapore in the 2nd 
Quarter of 2021. In the interim, the nasal balm will undergo tests to show efficacy against coronavirus at the Pantai Medical 
Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Company is also close to engaging a leading hospital in New York City to undertake 
further tests. 

c. Dietary Supplements 
The Company’s Dietary Supplements division continued to be the largest income contributor to the group in 2020. Revenue 
from this business decreased by 21% to $5.2 million due to COVID-19 social restrictions and lockdowns in markets Holista 
operates in. 

While operating conditions were challenging, Holista launched a new health supplement called Forti-5 in Malaysia to boost 
the body’s immune system and to fight infections in the 4th Quarter of 2020. Forti-5 stimulates the body’s natural production 
of glutathione with three essential amino acids. 

Holista  is  developing  other  new  products  to  be  sold  commercially  this  year,  including  chewable  Omega-3  gummies  for 
children. 

d. Ovine Collagen 
The Collagen Manufacturing business was also impacted by the fallout from the global pandemic with sales falling 62% to 
$173,000 in FY2020 as most of our cosmetics manufacturing customers closed their production facilities for some time during 
the pandemic. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year. 

Events after the reporting period 
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the 
consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial 
year. 

Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies 
There are no other likely developments, future prospects and business strategies not included in this Directors’ report.

Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

Environmental regulation 
Holista has operated under environmental licence L7998/2003/3 issued by the Western Australian Department of Water and 
Environmental  Regulation  as  prescribed  under  the  Environmental  Protection  Act  1986.  The  licence  relates  to  collagen 
extraction and purification, waste water storage and waste water 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. 

The Group's operations are not subject to any other significant environmental regulations in the jurisdictions it operates in, 
namely Australia, Malaysia, and the United States. 

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

● 

 Oversight 

● 

 Risk Profile 

● 

 Risk Management 

● 

 Compliance and Control 

● 

 Assessment of Effectiveness 

 Pursuant to the Company's Board Charter, the full Board carries out the duties 
of the Audit Risk Committee including to direct, review, and initiate corrective 
action in matters of internal control and minimise risk exposures compatible 
with a Group of this size and nature. 
 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 affected, what controls might be put in place 
and whether the resulting levels of exposure are acceptable. 
 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 (SOPs) 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. 
 SOPs 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. 
 The management in the first instance assesses the effectiveness of the risk 
management policies and in conjunction with the Audit Committee (comprise 
the full Board of Directors) and External Auditors, instructs improvements to be 
put in place.

Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 30 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 30 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
● 

 all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and 
 none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, 
acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 

● 

Proceedings on behalf of the company 
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf 
of the company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility 
on behalf of the company for all or part of those proceedings. 

Auditor's independence declaration 
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this directors' report.

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 KMP. 

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

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 31 December 2020 is detailed in note 29 'Key management 
personnel disclosures' of this remuneration report. 
Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by: 
● 
● 
● 

 rewarding capability and experience 
 reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth 
 providing a clear structure for earning rewards 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive  director 
remuneration is separate. 

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  Board.  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 note 29 of this remuneration report.

Holista Colltech Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2020 

Variable Remuneration 
The aggregate of annual payments available for KMP across the Group is subject to the approval of the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee during the year. 

Performance Based Remuneration Short-term and long-term incentive structure 
The Board will review short-term and long-term incentive structures from time to time. Any incentive structure will be aligned 
with shareholders' interests 

● 

● 

 Short-term incentives 
No short-term incentives in the form of cash bonuses were granted during the year. 
 Long-term incentives 
The Board has a policy of granting incentive options and performance rights to KMP with exercise prices above market 
share price. As such, incentive options granted to executives will generally only be of benefit if the executives perform 
to the level whereby the value of the Group increases sufficiently to warrant exercising the incentive options granted. 

The executive Directors will be eligible to participate in any short term and long-term incentive arrangements operated or 
introduced by the Company (or any subsidiary) from time to time. 

Service Contracts 
Remuneration and other terms of employment for the directors and other KMP are formalised in contracts of employment. 

Engagement of Remuneration Consultants 
During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants. 

Relationship between Remuneration of KMP and Earnings 
The Company is also in the midst of commercialising some of its patented technologies, namely its Healthy Food ingredients 
and  Sheep  Collagen.  Accordingly,  the  Company's  remuneration  policy  during  the  current  and  the  previous  four  financial 
years is not related to the Company's performance. 

Details of KMP remuneration

Details of the remuneration of key management personnel of the consolidated entity are set out in the following tables.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2020 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
Note 1. Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective 
notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

Going concern 
The financial report has  been prepared on a  going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business 
activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 

The Group incurred a loss after tax for the year of $5,680,567 (2019: $904,034 loss) and a net cash out-flow from operating 
activities of $3,867,610 out-flow (2019: $160,975 out-flow). As at 31 December 2020, the Group's working capital amounted 
to $3,972,819 (2019: $1,468,844 working capital), as disclosed in note 22 of the Issued capital note. 

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. 

As  the  world  battle  against  COVID  19  pandemic  is  far  from  over,  the  Group  is  confident  that  the  revenue  from  different 
business segments  will continue to grow and contribute  positively to its cashflows and profitability in  the year 2021. The 
Group is optimistic about its ability to meets all its liabilities. 

Should  the  Group  not  be  able  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  it  may  be  required  to  realise  its  assets  and  discharge  its 
liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial report. 
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or 
liabilities that might be necessary should he group not continue as a going concern.  

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate 
for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive  income,  investment  properties,  certain  classes  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  derivative  financial 
instruments. 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 34. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Holista  Colltech  Limited 
('company' or 'parent entity') as at 31 December 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Holista 
Colltech Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity 
when the consolidated entity 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from 
the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2020 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are 
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset 
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies 
adopted by the consolidated entity. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable 
to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. 
Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit 
balance. 

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and 
non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative  translation  differences  recognised  in  equity.  The 
consolidated  entity  recognises  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  and  the  fair  value  of  any  investment  retained 
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Foreign currency translation 
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 legal 
parent entity's functional and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the 
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured 
at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at 
fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss except where deferred 
in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  the  translation  of  non-monetary  items  are  recognised  directly  in  other  comprehensive 
income to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange 
difference is recognised in the profit or loss. 

Foreign operations 
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation 
currency are translated as follows: 

● 
● 
● 

 assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; 
 income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 
 retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  foreign  operations  are  transferred  directly  to  the  Group's  foreign  currency 
translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period 
in which the operation is disposed. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 
12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used 
to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2020 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; 
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

Financial assets 
Classification 

From 1 January 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: 

      ● Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and  
      ● Those to be measured at amortised cost. 

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the 
cash flows.  

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time 
of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).  

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.  

Recognition and derecognition 

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to 
purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets 
have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

Measurement 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair 
value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. 
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. 

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are 
solely payment of principal and interest.   

● 

i. Debt instruments 
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash 
flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the group classifies its debt instruments: 
 Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely 
● 
payments  of  principal  and  interest  are  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is 
included  in  finance  income  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Any  gain  or  loss  arising  on  derecognition  is 
recognised  directly  in  profit  or  loss  and  presented  in  other  gains/(losses)  together  with  foreign  exchange  gains  and 
losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. 
 FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ 
cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are  measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying 
amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign 
exchange  gains  and  losses  which  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  When  the  financial  asset  is  derecognised,  the 
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other 
gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate 
method.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  are  presented  in  other  gains/(losses)  and  impairment  expenses  are 
presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss 
 FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt 
investment  that  is  subsequently  measured  at  FVPL  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and  presented  net  within  other 
gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2020 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

ii. Equity instruments 
The  Group  subsequently  measures  all  equity  investments  at  fair  value.  Where  the  Group’s  management  has  elected  to 
present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains 
and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be 
recognised in profit or loss as other income when the group’s right to receive payments is established 

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss 
as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal  of  impairment  losses) on equity investments  measured at FVOCI are not 
reported separately from other changes in fair value. 

Investments 
Investments  includes  non-derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  and  fixed  maturities  where  the 
consolidated entity has the positive intention and ability to hold the financial asset to maturity. This category excludes financial 
assets that are held for an undefined period. Investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method 
adjusted for any principal repayments. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or 
impaired. 

Value added taxes 
Value-added tax (VAT) is the generic team for the broad-based consumption taxes that the Group is exposed to such as: 
Australia (Goods and Services Tax or GST) and in Malaysia (Goods and Services Tax or GST), hereafter collectively referred 
to as GST.  

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amounts of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition 
of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.  
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.  

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office (or jurisdictional equivalent) is included 
as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.  

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

Fair Value 
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 AASB. 

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 
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 (i.e. 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 (i.e. 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  considers  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 

Fair value hierarchy 
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement 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:

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

● 

● 

● 

 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 vice versa; or 
 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. 

Valuation techniques 
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 into 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. 

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements 
and  estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its 
judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of 
future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no critical accounting judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that are likely to affect the current or future financial years. 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions 
that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates 
and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under 
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities 
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Management discusses with the Board the development, selection and disclosure of the Group's critical accounting policies 
and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk

 Key estimate - determining the allowance for expected credit losses (note 9 trade and other receivables)  

Note 3. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the Board of Directors 
(the  Board) on a monthly  basis and in determining the  allocation of resources. Management  has  identified the  operating 
segments based on the principal activities – Supplements; Ovine Collagen; Infection Control Solutions; Food Ingredients; 
and Corporate. 

Accounting policies adopted 

Unless  stated  otherwise,  all  amounts  reported  to  the  Board,  being  the  chief  decision  maker  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. 

Types of products and services 

The principal products and services of each of these operating segments are as follows: 
Supplements 

Ovine collagen 

Food ingredients 

Infection control 

 This operating segment is involved in the manufacture and wholesale distribution of dietary 
supplements. 
 This operating segment is involved in the manufacture and distribution of cosmetic grade 
collagen. 
 This operating segment is involved in the manufacture and wholesale distribution of healthy 
food ingredients. 
 This operating segment is involved in the infection control solutions. 

Intersegment transactions 
All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group's financial statements. 

Inter-segment  loans  payable  and  receivable  are  initially  recognised  at  the  consideration  received/to  be  received  net  of 
transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair 
value  based  on  market  interest  rates.  This  policy  represents  a  departure  from  that  applied  to  the  statutory  financial 
statements. 

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

Note 3. Operating segments (continued) 

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. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. 
Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings. 

Major customers 
The Group has a number of customers to whom it provides both products and services.  

Within the Supplement segment, the Group supplies to a  number of retailers through one single external distributor who 
accounts for 83% (2019: 77.1%) of total revenue for this segment. For Food Ingredients and Infections Control business 
segments, the Group supplies to a few major customers that accounts 71% (2019: Nil) of revenue for this segment. The 
Group supplies to a few external customers for the Ovine Collagen segment, where the major customer accounts for 89% 
(2019: 97.0%) of revenue for this segment.

Accounting policy for Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that 
reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. 

Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step process outlined in AASB 15 which is as follows: 

● 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 Identify the contract with a customer; 
 Identify the performance obligations in the contract and determine at what point they are satisfied;  
 Determine the transaction price;  
 Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and  
 Recognise the revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Holista Colltech Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 4. Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) 

Revenue is recognised when or as a performance obligation in the contract with customer is satisfied, i.e. when the control 
of  the  goods  or  services  underlying  the  particular  performance  obligation  is  transferred  to  the  customer.  A  performance 
obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct goods or service (or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially 
the same and that have the same pattern of transfer) to the customer that is explicitly stated in the contract and implied in 
the Group's customary business practices.  

Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring 
the promised goods or services to the customers, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes 
or services taxes. If the amount of consideration varies due to discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, incentives, penalties or 
other similar items, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled based on the expected value 
or  the  most  likely  outcome.  If  the  contract  with  customer  contains  more  than  one  performance  obligation,  the  amount  of 
consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of the goods or 
services promised in the contract. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in 
the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration 
is subsequently resolved. 

The control of the promised goods or services may be transferred over time or at a point in time. The control over the goods 
or services is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time if: 

● 

● 

● 

 the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group 
performs;  
 the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; 
or 
 the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to 
payment for performance completed to date. 

Revenue for performance obligation that is not satisfied over time is recognised at the point in time at which the customer 
obtains control of the promised goods or services. 

Sale of health care products 
Sale of health care products comprise revenue from supplements, food ingredients and infection control. 

Revenue from sales of health care products is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the 
customer, i.e. upon delivery of goods to the customers. Some contracts for the sale of health care products provide customers 
with a right of return and volume rebates. The rights of return and volume rebates give rise to variable consideration. 

a.          Rights of return 

Certain contracts provide a customer with a right of return the goods within a specific period. The Group uses its accumulated 
historical experience to estimate the level of returns using the expected value method because this method best predicts the 
amount of variable consideration to which the Group will be entitled. The constraining estimates of variable consideration are 
also applied in order to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price. For 
goods that are expected to be returned, instead of revenue, the Group recognises a refund liability. A right of return assets 
and corresponding adjustment to cost of sales is also recognised for the right to recover products from a customer. 

b.          Volume rebates 

The Group provides retrospective volume rebates to certain customers once the quantity of products purchased during the 
period  exceeds  a  threshold  specified  in  the  contract.  Rebates  are  offset  against  amounts  payable  by  the  customer.  To 
estimate the variable consideration for the expected future rebates, the Group applies the most likely amount method for 
contracts with a single-volume threshold and the expected value method for contracts with more than one volume threshold. 
The selected method that best predicts the amount of variable consideration is primarily driven by the number of volume 
thresholds  contained  in  the  contract.  The  Group  then  applies  that  requirements  on  constraining  estimates  of  variable 
consideration and recognised a refund liability for the expected future rebates. 

Sale of health care products through single level direct selling 
Revenue from single level direct selling of health care products is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset 
is transferred to the customer, i.e. upon delivery of goods to the customers.

Royalty income 
Sales based royalties are recognised at the later of when the subsequent sale occurs and the satisfaction of the performance 
obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated. 

Sale of raw ingredients 
Sale of raw ingredients comprise sales from sheep collagen, food ingredients and infection control. 

Revenue from sales of raw ingredients are recognised at the point in time when the control of the asset is transferred to the 
customer, i.e. upon delivery of goods to the customers. 

Customer loyalty points 
Deferred revenue in respect to customer loyalty points is recognised in accordance with note 18 Key estimates –Deferred

Accounting policy for Employee Benefit Expense Short-term  
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting  date  represent  present  obligations  resulting  from  employees'  services  provided  to  the  reporting  date  and  are 
calculated  at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at  the 
reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax. 

Non-accumulating non-monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, 
are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the benefits are taken by the employees. 

Accounting policy for Defined contribution superannuation funds 
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions onto a separate 
entity  and  will  have  no  legal  or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  further  amounts.  Obligations  for  contributions  to  defined 
contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred.

The tax rates used in the above reconciliations is the corporate tax rate of 27.5% payable by the Australian corporate entity 
on taxable profits under Australian tax law. There has been no change in this tax rate since the previous reporting year. 

The foreign income tax payable relates to the Malaysian corporate entities, where the current corporate tax rate is 24%. The 
Malaysian corporate entities' tax losses have unrecognised deferred tax assets in relation to unutilised tax losses carried 
forward for which no deferred tax asset has been recorded as it is not probable that taxable profit will be available in the 
foreseeable future.

Note 7. Income tax expense (continued) 

i.  the  Group  derives  future  assessable  income  of  a  nature  and  of  an  amount  sufficient  to  enable  the  benefit  from  the 
deductions for the loss to be realised; 

ii. the Group continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and 

iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss. 

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of 
directors.  These  estimates  consider  both  the  financial  performance  and  position  of  the  Group  as  they  pertain  to  current 
income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future 
taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors' best estimate, pending an assessment by tax 
authorities in relevant jurisdictions. 

The  parent  company  has  accumulated  tax  losses  of  $8,974,034  (2019:  $7,870,251)  which  are  expected  to  be  available 
indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the parent company in which the losses arose. The recoupment of these 
losses is subject to assessment of the Australian Taxation Office. The parent company has additional accumulated tax losses 
of $1,103,783 which are not expected to be available to offset any future taxable profits as their origin cannot be determined. 
No deferred tax asset has been recorded in relation to these tax losses as it is not probable that taxable profit will be available 
in the foreseeable future and they may not be used to offset taxable. 

Accounting policy for Income tax benefit 

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. 

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.

Note 7. Income tax expense (continued) 

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. 

Where the Group receives the Australian Government's Research and Development Tax Incentive, the Group accounts for 
the refundable tax offset under AASB 112. Funds are received as a rebate through the parent company's income tax return.

The average credit period on sales of goods and rendering of services ranges from 30 to 240 days. Interest is not charged. 
During the year ended 31 December 2020 an allowance of $1,751,581 has been made for estimated irrecoverable trade 
receivable  amounts  arising  from  past  sale  of  goods,  determined  by  reference  to  past  default  experience.  Amounts  are 
considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled, within the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and 
the customer or counter party to the transaction.  

Included  in  trade  receivables  is  an  amount  due  from  companies  in  which  a  director  has  interest  of  $1,071,048  (2019: 
$1,413,601). During the year ended 31 December 2020, an allowance of $1,071,048 (2019: $Nil) has been made.  

As at 31 December 2019,  the amounts advanced to  a related party of $180,623 charged  interest at 3%  and the  amount 
advanced to a third party of $294,534 charged interest at 3% in its first year and 5% in its second year, on accrual basis. 
During the year ended 31 December 2020, an impairment of $475,157 has been made to fully impair the amounts advanced 
to a related party and a third party. 

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 30 to 240 days. Receivables expected to be 
collected  within  12  months  of  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  are  classified  as  current  assets.  All  other  receivables  are 
classified as non-current assets.

Note 9. Current assets - trade and other receivables (continued) 

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Accounting policy for allowance for expected credit losses 
The Group assesses impairment on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt  instruments 
carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant 
increase in credit risk.  

For  trade  receivables,  the  Group  applies  the  simplified  approach  permitted  by  AASB  9,  which  requires  expected  lifetime 
losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Accounting policy for 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. 

Stock-in-transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of 
rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion 
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Note 11. Current assets - Other current assets (continued) 

Included in prepayment was an amount of $448,086 for deposit and advances previously made to ProImmune Company 
LLC  for  supply  contract.  As  disclosed  in  December  2019  annual  report,  ProImmune  Company  LLC  filed  for  purported 
breached of supply contracts by the Company in February 2020. As it is not practical to estimate when the decision of the 
court will be made, the prepayments has been fully impaired. 

Security deposits are restricted cash. In order to obtain various financing facilities, banks  in Malaysia require cash to be 
deposited if other collateral is not available. These deposits are interest bearing and the interest is compounded and added 
to the principal. 

Loan to a related party as at 31 December 2020 is related to loan to Galen BioMedical Inc. which is non-interest bearing and 
repayable upon demand. Refer to note 16 for more details.  

Accounting policy for Right of return assets 
Right of return assets represents the Group's right to recover the goods expected to be returned by customers. The asset is 
measured  at  the  former  carrying  amount  of  the  inventory,  less  any  expected  costs  to  recover  the  goods,  including  any 
potential  decrease  in  the  value  of  the  returned  goods.  At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Group  updates  the 
measurement of the asset arising from the changes in expectations about products to be returned.

Note 12. Non-current assets - property, plant and equipment (continued) 

Land and buildings with a carrying amount of $703,322 (2019: $778,385) are subject to a first charge to secure a loan from 
CIMB Bank, Malaysia. 

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 31 December 2020 (2019: $nil). 

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment 
Recognition and measurement 

Freehold 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. 

Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation (see table 
below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy for impairment below). 

Cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the  asset.  The  cost  of  self-constructed  assets 
includes  the  cost  of  materials  and  direct  labour,  any  other  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  asset  to  a  working 
condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are 
located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. 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. 

Where  considered  material,  the  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant,  and  equipment  is  reviewed  annually  by  Directors  to 
ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of 
the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net 
cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 

Where parts of an item of property, plant, and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items 
of plant and equipment. 

Subsequent costs 

The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable 
that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Any 
costs of the day-to-day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. 

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 de-recognition 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. 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation 

Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the Group commencing 
from  the  time  the  asset  is  held  ready  for  use.  Leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of  either  the 
unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 

Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The depreciation rates used for the current and 
comparative periods are:

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. 
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment 
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The 
assessment will consider both external and internal sources of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is 
carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less 
costs  of  disposal  and  value  in  use,  to  the  asset’s  carrying  amount.  Any  excess  of  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  over  its 
recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount 
of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment  losses  recognised  in  prior  periods  are  assessed  at  each  reporting  date  for  any  indications  that  the  loss  has 
decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine 
the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed 
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been 
recognised.

Note 13. Non-current assets - right-of-use asset (continued) 

Accounting policy for Right-of-Use Asset 
The  Group  recognises  a  right-of-use  asset  at  the  commencement  date  of  the  lease.  The  right-of-use  asset  is  initially 
measured at cost. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, adjusted for any lease 
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle, 
remove or restore the leased asset, less any lease incentives received. 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: 

● 
● 
● 
● 

 The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability 
 Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received 
 Any initial direct costs, and 
 Restoration costs. 

Subsequent to initial measurement, the right of use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease 
term and the estimated useful life as follows: 

● 
● 

 Motor vehicles                                      5 years 
 Properties (in Processing factory)        3 – 30 years 

Right of use assets are subject to impairment and are adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

Extension and termination options 

An  extension  options  is  included  in  a  property  of  the  Group.  This  is  used  to  maximise  operational  flexibility  in  terms  of 
managing the assets used in the Group’s operations. The extension option held is exercisable only by the Group and not by 
the respective lessor.

Note 14. Non-current assets - intangible assets (continued) 

Goodwill impairment testing 
Goodwill relates to the acquisition of the food ingredients business in the USA. Consequently, the carrying amount of goodwill 
was allocated to the food ingredients CGU. 

The recoverable amount of goodwill has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections 
for the food ingredients business in the USA. Cash flows beyond the five-year forecast are extrapolated using estimated 
terminal growth rates. 

In the current year, there has been considerable volatility in the economic environment as a result of COVID-19. Management 
has  carefully  assessed  the  impact  of  COVID-19  and  the  implications  of  lower  economic  activity  on  its  operations. 
Management has observed that there has been a significant impact in the performance of the food ingredients business in 
the USA. 

Based on management's current assessment, the carrying amount  of the food  ingredient's CGU exceeds its recoverable 
amount and consequently, the Group has recorded an impairment charge of $520,655 in respect of the Food Ingredients 
CGU in USA. 

Accounting policy on Intangible assets 
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.

Note 14. Non-current assets - intangible assets (continued) 

Goodwill 
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of the acquisition of the business 
less accumulated impairment losses, if any. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (CGU) (or groups 
of CGUs) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. 

A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication 
that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is 
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro 
rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit 
or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. 

On disposal of the relevant CGU, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on 
disposal. 

Impairment of non-financial assets, including goodwill 
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually 
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-
financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its 
recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit. 

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units to which 
goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected 
to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future 
cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

Note 16. Non-current assets - Other non-current assets (continued) 

Loan to a related party as at 31 December 2019 is related to loan to Galen BioMedical Inc. The loan is supported by shares 
held in the Company. The Company re-assessed this loan as at 31 December 2020. It was determined that the borrower 
has sufficient capability to  settle the loan  and therefore no impairment of credit losses is provided  at 31 December 2020 
(2019: nil).  

The loan is non-interest bearing and is repayable on demand, hence was reclassified as current asset in the current financial 
year (refer to Note 11). Galen Biomedical owns shares on the Company which are not pledged as collateral and are free 
from any encumbrances 

Refer to note 1 for further information on fair value measurement. 

Accounting policy for Loans 
Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Loans are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of 
the reporting period.

Amounts due to a Director which amounted to $ 21,588 (2019: $89,109) refers to the accrued director fees of Mr Chan as at 
31 December 2020. 

Accounting policy for 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. 

Accounting policy for Refund liability 

A refund liability is the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from the customer and 
measured at the amount the Group ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer. At the end of each reporting 
period, the Group updates its estimates of refund liabilities for changes in expectations about the amount of refunds and 
recognise the corresponding adjustments as revenue (or reductions of revenue).

Accounting policy for 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. 

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.

Accounting policy for lease liabilities 
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities at the present value of lease payment to be 
made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any 
lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid 
under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain 
to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the assessment of lease term reflects the 
Group  exercising  the  option  to  terminate.  The  variable  lease  payments  that  do  not  depend  on  an  index  or  a  rate  are 
recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payments occurs. The present value 
of lease payments is discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if the rate cannot be readily determined, the 
Group's incremental borrowing rate. 

The  lease  liability  is  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method.  After  the  commencement  date,  the 
amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. 

The amount of lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an 
index or rate, if there is a  change  in the Group's estimate of the  amount expected to  be payable  under a  residual value 
guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. 
When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset, 
or is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero. 

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term 
of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option, and leases of low value assets. The Group recognises the lease 
payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 20. Leases (continued) 

Critical judgements in determining the lease term 

In  determining  the  lease  term,  management  considers  all  facts  and  circumstances  that  create  an  economic  incentive  to 
exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) 
are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). 

For leases of motor vehicles, warehouse, and processing factory, the following factors are normally the most relevant: 

If  there  are  significant  penalties  to  terminate  (or  not  extend),  the  Group  is  typically  reasonably  certain  to  extend  (or  not 
terminate). 

If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Group is typically reasonably certain 
to extend (or not terminate). 

Otherwise,  the  Group  considers  other  factors  including  historical  lease  durations  and  the  costs  and  business  disruption 
required to replace the leased asset. 

Most extension options in vehicles leases have not been included in the lease liability, because the Group could replace the 
assets without significant cost or business disruption. 

The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Group becomes obliged to exercise 
(or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in 
circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee. No change or revise in 
lease terms during the financial year.

Make good provision 
The Company is required to restore the leased site of its Collagen Extraction Facility to their original condition at the end of 
the respective lease terms. A make good provision has been recognised for the present value of the estimated expenditure 
required to remove any leasehold improvements. These costs have been capitalised as part of the right-of- use assets and 
are amortised over the shorter of the term of the lease and the useful life of the assets. 

The Directors valued the make good provision based upon a third-party estimate provided to the Company. 

Accounting policy for 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 asset 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.

Capital Management 
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 2019. 

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. 

The working capital position of the Group was as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents (note 8) 
Trade and other receivables (note 9) 
Inventories (note 10) 
Other current assets (note 11)

The  Group's  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks:  market  risk  (including  foreign  currency  risk,  price  risk  and 
interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability 
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

Note 27. Financial instruments (continued) 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The 
Board  adopts  practices  designed  to  identify  significant  areas  of  business  risk  and  to  effectively  manage  those  risks  in 
accordance with the Group's risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing risks for the Group and setting 
appropriate risk limits and controls. The Group is not of a size nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment 
of a formal system for risk management and associated controls. Instead, the Board approves all expenditure, is intimately 
acquainted with all operations and discuss all relevant issues at the Board meetings. The operational and other compliance 
risk management have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively.  

Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will 
affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to 
manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. 

The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity 
prices and exchange rates. 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 has also 10% free carried interest in Global Biolife Inc. (formerly Sed BioMed Inc.), a company incorporated in 
the State of Delaware, USA in which Mr Chan is a significant shareholder. 

Foreign currency risk 
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency 
risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial  transactions and recognised financial assets and financial  liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting. 

Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to 
movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the 
AUD functional currency of the Group.

Price risk 
Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes 
in market prices. The Group does not presently hold material amounts subject to price risk. As such the Board considers 
price risk as a low risk to the Group. 

Interest rate risk 
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. 

Credit risk 
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract 
obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. 

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. 

The Group establishes an allowance for expected credit losses that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of 
trade and other receivables.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2020 

Note 27. Financial instruments (continued) 

The maximum exposure to credit risk is that to its alliance partners and that is limited to the carrying amount, net of any 
provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the consolidated 
financial statements. 

Credit  risk  related  to  balances  with  banks  and  other  financial  institutions  is  managed  by  the  Group  in  accordance  with 
approved  Board  policy.  Such  policy  requires  that  surplus  funds  are  only  invested  with  financial  institutions  residing  in 
Australia, where ever possible. 

● 

 Impairment losses 

The ageing of the Group's trade and other receivables at reporting date is disclosed in note 9. 

Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach 
to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, 
under  both  normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without  incurring  unacceptable  losses  or  risking  damage  to  the  Group's 
reputation. 

Ultimate  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk  management  rests  with  the  Board,  who  have  built  an  appropriate  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. 

Typically,  the  Group  ensures  that  it  has  sufficient  cash  to  meet  expected  operational  expenses  for  a  period  of  60  days, 
including  the  servicing  of  financial  obligations;  this  excludes  the  potential  impact  of  extreme  circumstances  that  cannot 
reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. 

The financial liabilities of the Group include trade and other payables, contract liabilities, borrowings and lease liabilities as 
disclosed in the statement of financial position. 

All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 30 days of the reporting date. 

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following are the contractual maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group: 

The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The 
tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which 
the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining 
contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position where 
the consolidated entity currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and there is an intention to 
settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The net amount shows the impact on the 
consolidated entity's statement of financial position if all set off rights were exercised. 

Fair value of financial instruments 
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. Refer to note 1 for accounting 
policy on fair value measurement.  

Note 28. Fair value measurement 

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 
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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2020 

Note 31. Contingent liabilities 

Gara Group 

On September 27,2019, iGalen (a related company and a customer of the Group), filed an action against Gara Group, Inc. 
and others alleging breach of contract. This complaint stems  from the Gara Group’s  failure to provide services including 
product fulfillment, software development and maintenance of non-site platform which manages the Company’s back office 
and managing the Company’s social media sites. Gara Group filed a complaint against the Company for breach of contract. 
The exposure to the Company always exists, however, management maintains its claims and anticipates recovering from 
Gara Group. It is too early in the case to determine amounts of recovery or exposure. 

ProImmune Company LLC ("Pro immune") 

The present lawsuit involves four claims brought by Proimmune against the Company for breach of four distinct contracts 
which seeks total damages of USD 2million. The Company has completed the discovery phase of the litigation where after 
attempting  to  seek  dismissal  of  the  claims  brought  against  it,  the  Company  has  answered  the  complaint  of  ProImmune 
Company LLC and asserted its own counterclaims against ProImmune for breach of contract as well as one claim for breach 
of express warranty, both of which seeking monetary damages in excess of USD300,000 plus interest. 

Upon completion of this discovery phase of the litigation, both sides will each file their own motions for summary judgment, 
which effectively seeks a judgment without trial on either sides’ respective claims and/or defences. 

The parties are  obligated to engage in good faith settlement  discussions at the  close of  discovery and a decision on the 
competing motions will likely take the balance of 2021 to be rendered. 

At the date of this report, it is premature to estimate any material contingent liabilities for this case.  

ASIC 

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has made determinations pursuant to sections 708A(2) and 
713(6) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) restricting the Company from relying on the exceptions in sections 708A and 713 
to  issue  a  reduced-content  prospectus,  and  to  use  exemptions  for  reduced  disclosure  in  fundraising  documents  until 
16 October 2021 (reduced disclosure). 

ASIC has also stated that its investigation into the Company’s conduct is ongoing. Holista is cooperating with the ASIC in its 
investigation. 

At the date of this report, it is premature to estimate any material contingent liabilities for this case. In the circumstances 
where there are any prosecution commenced by ASIC in relation with Directors, Ex-Directors, and Ex-Company Secretaries 
could be cover by the insurer of Director and Officers insurance policy.

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Holista Colltech Limited, excluding 
any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the 
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted 
average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 
d 
All potential fully paid ordinary shares on issue would decrease the loss per share and are thus not considered dilutive.  

Note 40. Share-based payments 

In August 2020, Holista issued 18,000,000 Unlisted Options to directors and suppliers. The Unlisted Options have expired 
and are escrowed during the year.  

The Unlisted Options have been valued using the Black Scholes Model. The fair value of the unlisted options is $0.043 and 
expense  of  $77,400  has  been  recognised  during  the  year  ended  31  December  2020  as  part  of  Share-based  payments 
expense. Of the 18 million unlisted options granted during the year, 3.5 million was issued to Daniel O'Connor which has a 
fair value of $15,050. 

Set out below are summaries of options granted under the Company's share option plan:

Accounting policy for Share-based payments 
The  grant-date  fair  value  of  equity-settled  share-based  payment  arrangements  granted  to  holders  of  equity-based 
instruments (including employees) are generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over 
the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which 
the  related  service  and  non-market  performance  conditions  are  expected  to  be  met,  such  that  the  amount  ultimately 
recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the 
vesting date. 

For  share-based  payment  awards  with  non-market  conditions,  the  grant-date  fair  value  of  the  share-based  payment  is 
measured  to  reflect  such  conditions  and  there  is  no  true-up  for  differences  between  expected  and  actual  outcomes.  In 
determining the fair value of share-based payments granted, a key estimate and judgement is the volatility input assumed 
within the pricing model. 

The Company uses historical volatility of the Company to determine an appropriate level of volatility expected, commensurate 
with the expected instrument’s life.

Corporate governance statement 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  establishing  the  Company’s  corporate  governance  framework.  In  establishing  its  corporate 
governance  framework,  the  Board  has  referred  to  the  4th  edition  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Councils’  Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations. 

The  Corporate  Governance  Statement  discloses  the  extent  to  which  the  Company  follows  the  recommendations.  The 
Company  will  follow  each  recommendation  where  the  Board  has  considered  the  recommendation  to  be  an  appropriate 
benchmark  for  its  corporate  governance  practices.  Where  the  Company’s  corporate  governance  practices  will  follow  a 
recommendation,  the  Board  has  made  appropriate  statements  reporting  on  the  adoption  of  the  recommendation.  In 
compliance with the “if not, why not” reporting regime, where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance
