Chairman’s Report

Firstly I would like to thank shareholders for their continuing support over the past year, a year that marked the commencement of a period of 

signifi cant change for the Company, and set the stage for new strategies for growth. The base businesses are being strengthened by additional 

sales and marketing resources, legacy assets such as temozolomide are being deployed and the Company is actively seeking non-organic 

growth opportunities.

It was with great pleasure that I joined the IDT board in the middle of 2013. With a background in manufacturing, fi nance and life sciences I 

saw and understood the potential of the Company with the right additions of commercial skills and strategies. In the fi rst half of the year I was 

honoured to be asked to chair the Company and accepted the request.

Board changes
In the early part of this fi nancial year Dr Graeme Blackman stood down as chairman after nearly 30 years and we are pleased to retain Graeme 

on the board as a non-executive director. Graeme was a true pioneer of the sector in Australia and as founder of IDT in 1977 he built up over 

that long history a world class manufacturing facility and preeminent expertise in drug development and manufacturing. The excellent facilities, 

infrastructure and expertise that were built over IDT’s 30 year history are a credit to his stewardship and vision. The Board wishes to express its 

gratitude for his commitment, drive and enthusiasm in building IDT.

In the latter part of the fi rst half Dr Roger Aston stepped down from the board due to mounting other executive commitments. We would like to 

thank him for his expertise and contribution over a number of years.

Strategy
With board changes came the addition of new commercial skill sets at management level. New senior managers joined the Company from a 

number of well-known pharmaceutical companies, bringing decades of commercial experience. The addition of this commercial acumen to the 

large existing pool of technical expertise will lay the foundations for future development and facilitate execution of our growth strategies. We are 

deploying strategies aimed at strengthening the base service businesses at CMAX and Boronia, leveraging existing assets and expertise into 

IDT owned registrations and seeking complementary acquisitions that bring near term revenues and that leverage the manufacturing assets. 

This will deliver in coming years a strong service business with the addition of an IDT owned specialty generic range of marketed products.

IDT products
The  fi rst  of  these  products  to  be  advanced  late  in  the  2013  calendar  year  was  temozolomide,  an  anti-cancer  drug  for  the  treatment  of 

melanoma and brain tumours. This was fi led with the US Food & Drug Administration as an Abbreviated New Drug Registration in November 

and accepted by the FDA for review early in 2014. Further such IDT registered products are planned and in development.

Financial resources
In September 2013 the Company raised approximately $6 million through a placement to sophisticated and institutional investors and a rights 

issue. This brought a number of high profi le funds onto the register for the fi rst time and gave the Company a foundation of well resourced 

investors to support the Company’s non-organic growth aspirations. The raising in 2013 was deployed in part to commence the development 

of the IDT generic product range.

The  value  of  the  Company  is  underpinned  by  tangible  assets  exceeding  $23  million  substantially  refl ecting  the  world  class  manufacturing 

facilities at the Boronia campus. In addition the Company currently has no borrowings and has signifi cant debt facilities available.

2014/15
IDT, having set its growth strategy now needs to focus upon rigorous execution of the activities required to deliver the desired outcomes. The 

Board has established and communicated key performance indicators to the executive team to measure and hold them to these goals. We 

expect to see progress on all three strands of our strategy, with increasing base income, further products in development and securing assets 

from outside the Company to spur growth.

As we move forward into 2015, I wish to thank my fellow directors for their contribution to the Company over the past year, particularly given 

ongoing  diffi cult  market  conditions  both  locally  and  internationally.  We  also  thank  the  management  and  staff  for  their  commitment  to  the 

company and their response to the challenges facing us in repositioning IDT for future growth.

Managing Director’s Report

A year of change
My fi rst full year at IDT has seen considerable change in the board, management and strategy. On top of this we have been working very hard 

to build and strengthen the base businesses, both at CMAX in Adelaide and at the Boronia manufacturing campus in Melbourne. Behind the 

scenes there has been a full strategic review by board and management, resulting in a concerted effort to increase the revenues of the base 

businesses, increase utilisation of our assets and our share of the value chain in markets we serve. 

Operational leverage
In addition to this we have been very actively looking for acquisitions that will allow us to increase the utilisation rates of the Boronia manufacturing 

assets. These are world class and on the whole relatively new manufacturing facilities. Whilst they have a low depreciation cost relative to their 

replacement value, they also carry high fi xed running costs relative to our current site revenues. The effect of these two factors is that any extra 

product that can be manufactured in Boronia becomes increasingly profi table as we move beyond breakeven. This is because little extra costs 

or capital expenditure would be needed for any of the facilities or site management functions as activity levels increase. The implications of this 

are that a rapid addition of market ready assets will very quickly move the company back to profi tability. As a result we are actively seeking such 

assets with two advisory groups assisting us with this search globally.

Commercial focus
The fi ling of our fi rst Abbreviated New Drug Application with the US Food & Drug Administration occurred in late 2013. This is signifi cant in its 

own right, being the fi rst time IDT has sought to own its own product fi ling, thus allowing us to claim signifi cantly more of the wholesale value. 

IDT for much of its history acted as a contract s drug developer and s supplier of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, reaping little of the overall 

value chain. As announced early in the new fi nancial year, we signed a temozolomide distribution agreement with Mayne Pharma, enabling us 

to share a signifi cant proportion of the profi ts of a product that has a current US market in excess of US$300 million. 

The temozolomide fi ling is more signifi cant however as a broader marker for IDT’s direction in the future. As explained above we have the 

opportunity to return to profi tability of we can increase our capacity utilisation. We therefore intend to continue to advance our own products 

into the regulatory approval pathways, as well as to seek out close to market assets that can deploy. 

Effi ciency Improvements
Once again CMAX has been a reliable performer, exceeding the previous year’s revenues and contributing cash to the group as a whole. We 

have in addition been working hard to improve the effi ciency of CMAX though better labour management practices. We have also been working 

hard to reduce costs in a responsible manner at Boronia, looking for effi ciencies in areas that will not compromise quality or safety. Improved 

labour management and reductions in utility costs has been realised over the course of the year.

2015
We  expect  the  2015  Financial  Year  to  be  one  where  the  work  undertaken  to  date  on  improving  both  costs  and  revenues  will  allow  us  to 

see meaningful improvements in sales and a move back towards profi tability. In addition we continue to look for acquisition opportunities for 

approved drug assets that we can rapidly take to market and so better utilise our manufacturing capacity. 2015 will therefore be one entailing 

both attention to detail in our growth efforts and some potential for non-organic growth through acquisition.

Report of the Directors - 30 June 2014 (Including Remuneration Report)

Your Directors present their report on the fi nancial report of the company for the year ended 30 June 2014.

The following persons were Directors of IDT Australia Limited during or since the end of the fi nancial year are :

G Kaufman (Chairman from 30 September 2013) 

G F Lord (Deputy Chairman)

G L Blackman (Chairman until 30 September 2013) 

R Aston (resigned 20 November 2013)

P MacLeman (appointed 22 August 2013)   

R Shigeno

D Williams 

Principal Activities
The principal activities of the company in the course of the year were the supply of products and provision of research and development and 

other technical services for the pharmaceutical and allied industries.

Review of Operations
During the year, the company continued to provide consulting research and development services and products for clients in the pharmaceutical 

and allied industries. A detailed review is given on pages 2 and 3 of this annual report.

Results
The net result of operations after applicable income tax expense was a loss of $6.626m (2013: $5.354m loss).

Dividends
No dividends were paid during the course of the fi nancial year. There are no dividends or distributions recommended or declared for payment 

to members, but not yet paid, during the year.

Signifi cant Changes in the State of Affairs
In the opinion of the Directors, there have been no signifi cant changes in the state of affairs of the company during the fi nancial year under 

review not otherwise disclosed in this report or the fi nancial statements.

During  2014,  the  Company  raised  net  proceeds  of  $5.846m  from  new  and  existing  investors  and  consequently  holds  cash  balances  of 

$2.415m  at  30  June  2014  which  the  Company  considers  suffi cient  to  support  organic  product  and  business  development  opportunities 

during 2015.

Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year
The  Company  signed  a  binding  Memorandum  of  Understanding  in  July  2014  with  Mayne  Pharma  Group  Limited’s  US  Products  division 

appointing them exclusively to distribute the Company’s generic Temozolomide product in the USA. Temozolomide is indicated for the treatment 

of melanoma and glioblastoma multiforme and had US sales of approximately USD340 million in the 12 months ending 31 May 2014. It is 

anticipated that manufacture of this product will commence at the Company’s Boronia facility in 2016.

Other than the above, there has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the fi nancial year and the date of 

this report that has signifi cantly affected, or may signifi cantly affect, the operations of the Company, or the state of affairs of the company in 

future fi nancial years.

Likely Developments
The Company’s objective is to deliver superior organic revenue growth and generate free cashfl ow through execution of the core strategy of 

identifying, successfully tendering for and completing new manufacturing and service projects, particularly, but not limited to, the Boronia site. 

Regulatory activity to support commercialisation of new products for US markets for launch in subsequent years will continue.

Environmental Regulations
The company is subject to environmental regulations and other licenses in relation to its manufacturing operations, including obligations to 

comply with provisions of the Environment Protection Act and a Trade Waste Agreement with South East Water. The Company is also subject 

to environmental audits by local and international clients. Systems are in place to ensure compliance with federal, state and local environmental 

regulations and as at the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any breach.

Indemnifi cation of Offi cers
During the fi nancial year, the Company paid an insurance premium insuring all offi cers of the company, including the Directors. Liabilities insured 

include costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the offi cers in their 

capacity as offi cers of the company. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

Remuneration Report

The Directors of the Company are pleased to present the following Remuneration Report which forms part of the Report of Directors and has 

been prepared in accordance with s300A of the Corporations Act 2001. The Remuneration report has been audited as required by s308 (3C) 

of the Corporations Act 2001 and sets out remuneration information for the Company’s key management personnel.

The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  advises  the  Board  on  remuneration  policies  and  practices  generally,  making  specifi c 

recommendations on the remuneration framework and other terms of employment for executive Directors, non-executive Directors and senior 

executives, including incentives and share ownership plans.

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this committee and its membership.

Directors’ Remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive Directors refl ect the demands made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. They are set at market 

rates for our industry and size of the Company in order to attract Directors with expertise in our industry and Australian capital markets. Non-

executive Directors’ fees are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. 

The  Chairman’s  and  MD’s  fees  were  determined  independently  to  the  fees  of  non-executive  Directors  based  on  comparative  roles  in  the 

external market. The Chairman and Managing Director were not present at any discussions relating to the determination of their remuneration.

Directors’ Fees 
Non-executive Directors’ annual base fee is $40,000 and the Chairman received $80,000, plus superannuation contributions, as required 

under the Australian superannuation guarantee legislation.

Non-executive  Directors’  fees  are  determined  within  an  aggregate  Directors’  fee  pool  limit,  periodically  recommended  for  approval  by 

shareholders. The current maximum aggregate Directors’ fee pool is $400,000 for non-executive Directors.

Details of the nature and amount of each element of emoluments of each Director and the key management personnel are set out in the 

following tables.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration 
Remuneration packages are set at levels intended to attract and retain fi rst class executives capable of managing the Company’s operations 

and achieving the Company’s strategic objectives. It is also designed to align achievement of Company goals with long-term shareholder value. 

The Company is committed to adhering to appropriate corporate governance standards for remuneration of executives with regard to ASX 

Corporate Governance Council’s Recommendations.

Key Management Personnel remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the remuneration committee having regard 

to performance against goals set at the start of the year, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice where necessary. 

The executive pay and reward framework comprises :

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129)

fi nancial year, consult and agree objectives for achievement that year. The terms of his Executive Employment agreement are:

* Dr MacLeman was appointed Managing Director effective 22nd August 2013.

Share Based Compensation

Employee Share Plan
Executive management were invited to participate in the Employee Share Plan (ESP) whereby shares of the Company were issued at the 

current market value at the date of issue and funded by an interest free limited recourse loan from the Company. Grants within the framework 

of the ESP were determined by the MD together with the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and subject to approval by the Board.

The amounts disclosed for emoluments relating to these shares are the assessed fair values at issue date determined using a Black-Scholes 

option  pricing  model  taking  into  account  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the  expected 

dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

Other staff, were invited to participate in the allocation of up to $1,000 of shares granted for no consideration and escrowed for 3 years whilst 

participants remain employees of the Company.

Executive Option Plan
Options are granted under the terms and conditions of the Executive Option Plan. Options are granted under the plan for no consideration, for 

a four year period vesting immediately upon granting and carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into 

one ordinary share.

During the 2014 fi nancial year no options were issued. In the 2013 fi nancial year 500,000 options were issued to Dr MacLeman.

The amounts disclosed for emoluments relating to options above are the assessed fair values at grant date, allocated equally over the period 

from grant date to vesting date.  Fair values at grant date are independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes 

into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature 

of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free 

interest rate for the term of the option.

Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel
There were no other transactions or loans provided to key management personnel other than interest free limited recourse loans provided in 

association with the Employee Share Plan.

For  the   yea r  ended  30  June  2014
Corporate Governance Statement

IDT Australia Limited (the Company) and the Board are committed to achieving and demonstrating high standards of corporate governance. 

The Board continues to review the framework and practices to ensure they meet the interests of all stakeholders.

A description of the Company’s main corporate governance practices is set out below. All these practices unless otherwise stated, were in 

place for the entire year.

Principle 1:  Lay Solid Foundations for Management and Oversight
Directors are responsible to the shareholders for the Company’s performance in both the short and longer terms and seek to balance 

competing objectives in the best interests of the Company as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key 

stakeholders and ensure the Company is properly managed. 

The functions of the Board include:

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

providing strategic guidance to the Company including contributing to development of and approving the corporate strategy

reviewing and approving business plans, the annual budget and fi nancial plans including available resources and major capital initiatives

overseeing and monitoring:

- organisational performance and achievement of the Company’s strategic goals and objectives

- progress of major capital expenditures and signifi cant corporate projects including acquisitions and divestments

(cid:129)  monitoring fi nancial performance including approval of the annual and half-yearly fi nancial reports and liaison with the Company’s auditors

(cid:129) 

appointment and performance assessment of the MD and members of the senior management team against annually set key 

performance indicators

enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organisation

ensuring signifi cant risks facing the Company have been identifi ed and appropriate and adequate control, monitoring and reporting 

mechanisms are in place

reporting to shareholders, and

ensuring appropriate resources are available to the executive team.

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

Day to day management of the Company’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are formally 

delegated by the Board to the MD and Executive team. 

Specifi c limits of authority delegated to the MD and the Executive team are outlined in a formal Delegation of Authority Policy and approved 

by the Board.

Principle 2:  Structure the Board to Add Value

The Board of Directors
The Board operates in accordance with the following broad principles that:

(cid:129) 

it should comprise both executive and non-executive Directors, ideally with a majority of non-executive Directors. Non executive 

Directors bring fresh perspective to the Board’s consideration of strategic, risk and performance matters.

recognising the importance of independent views and the Board’s role in supervising management’s activities, independence of the 
Board assists exercising judgment and review and constructively challenging management’s performance

the Chair is elected by the Board and meets regularly with the MD

the Company benefi ts from having Directors with different backgrounds, possessing complementary skills and experience

the Board should consider its effectiveness and undertake an annual Board performance review 

Directors should exercise independent judgment when making Board decisions. There are processes in place to enable Directors to 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

seek independent professional advice where required, at the Company’s expense. 

The Board seeks to ensure:

(cid:129) 

its membership represents an appropriate balance between Directors with experience and knowledge of the Company and directors 

with an external position

(cid:129) 

the size of the Board is conducive to effective discussions with effi cient decision making.

Responsibilities of the Chairman and MD
The Chairman is responsible for leading the Board, ensuring Directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and 

responsibilities, facilitating Board discussions and managing the Board’s relationship with the Company’s senior executives. The MD is 

responsible for implementing Company strategies and policies.

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Directors’ Independence
The Board has adopted specifi c principles in relation to Directors’ Independence. These state that to be deemed independent, a Director 

must be a non-executive and:

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an offi cer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company

within the last three years not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any 

such employment

(cid:129) 

within the last three years not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company, or an 

employee materially associated with the service provided

(cid:129) 

not a material supplier or customer of the Company, or an offi cer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier 

or customer

(cid:129)  must have no material contractual relationship with the Company other than as a director of the Company

(cid:129) 

free from any business or other relationship which could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the Director’s independent 

exercise of their judgment.

In addition, a transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it may impact the shareholders’ understanding of 

the Director’s performance. 

In line with the Directors’ Independence Policy, Mr Geoffrey Lord’s indirect shareholdings, Dr Graeme Blackman’s recent role as Managing 

Director and his shareholdings and Dr Paul MacLeman’s role as MD deems these Directors to not to be independent. 

The Chairman is considered to be an independent Director.

The Board has established two committees to assist execution of its duties and allow detailed consideration of complex issues. Current 

committees of the Board are the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee, the composition of each being disclosed 

in the Report of Directors. All matters determined by committees are submitted to the full Board as recommendations for Board decision.

Recent thinking on corporate governance has introduced the view that a Director’s independence may be perceived to be impacted by 

length of service on the Board. The Board considers it is fortunate to have long serving Directors who have contributed signifi cantly to the 

Company over the years. As shareholders have freely re-elected these Directors, the Board does not currently consider length of service to 

be an impairment to independence. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will continue to consider independence of Directors and 

recommend future changes in relation to composition and appointments of suitable candidates.

At the date of signing the Report of Directors, the Board consists of three independent Directors and three non-independent Directors. The 

Board understands the ASX Corporate Governance recommendation that the majority of the Board should be independent Directors and will, 

through its Nomination and Remuneration Committee seek to address this matter over time. 

Term of Offi ce
The Company’s Constitution specifi es one-third of Directors (other than the MD) must retire from offi ce at the Annual General Meeting. They 

may offer themselves for reelection at this time.

Performance Assessment
The Board undertakes annual self assessment of its performance in relation to its leadership, structure, functionality, systems, meetings and 

relationship with management. 

Commitment
The Board meets approximately monthly throughout the year. The number of meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors and of each 

Board committee held, and the number attended by each Director is disclosed on page 5.

Board Committees
The Board has established a number of committees to assist performance of its duties and allow more detailed consideration of issues. 

Current committees are the Nomination and Remuneration committee and the Audit Committee.

Each committee has its own written charter setting out its responsibilities, powers, duties and the manner in which the committee is to 

operate. These charters are available on the Company’s website. All matters determined by committees are submitted to the full Board as 

recommendations for Board decision. Minutes of committee meetings are tabled at the subsequent Board meeting.

For  the   yea r  ended  30  June  2014
Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Nomination and Remuneration Committee
It was resolved to combine the Nomination and Remuneration Committees effective 20 November 2013 and appoint the following Directors:

(cid:129)  Mr G Kaufman (Chair)

(cid:129) 

Dr G L Blackman

(cid:129)  Mr G F Lord

Details of these Directors’ qualifi cations, experience and attendance at Nomination and Remuneration Committee meetings are set out in the 

Report of Directors.

The main responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are to:

(cid:129) 

advise the Board on remuneration policies and practices generally, making specifi c recommendations on remuneration packages and 

other terms of employment for non-executive Directors, executive Directors and senior executives

(cid:129) 

conduct an annual review of the membership of the Board with regard to the Company’s present and future needs and make 

recommendations on Board composition and appointments

conduct an annual review of the independence of Directors

propose candidates for Board vacancies

oversee the annual performance assessment program

oversee Board succession

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

When the need for a new Director is identifi ed or an existing Director is required to stand for re-election, the committee reviews the range 

of skills, experience and expertise on the Board, identifi es its needs and prepares a short-list of candidates with appropriate skills and 

experience. Where necessary, advice is sought from independent search consultants.

The full Board then appoints the most suitable candidate, but who must stand for election at the next Annual General Meeting of the 

Company. Reappointment of existing Directors is not automatic and is contingent on performance and contribution to the Company.

The Committee’s objective is to ensure remuneration policies are fair and competitive. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee seeks 

independent advice as an when it deems necessary.

Principle 3:  Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision Making

Code of Conduct
The IDT Staff Handbook is provided to all employees and outlines the Company’s expectations that personnel act with utmost integrity, 

objectivity and in compliance with relevant legislation at all times. The IDT Staff Handbook provides guidance in specifi c areas, including :

(cid:129)  Quality Policy 

(cid:129)  Workplace Behaviour, including Equal Opportunity and Whistleblower Policies

becomes known. This is then assessed in liaison with the Board and management in regards to the ASX listing rule requirements of 3.1.

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s web site as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX and email alerts are available 

to shareholders via the Company website. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information has 

been inadvertently disclosed, and if so, this information is also immediately released to the market.

Shareholder Communication
The Company recognises the value of providing current and relevant information to its shareholders through effective communication.

All information disclosed to the ASX announcements platform is available to shareholders on the Company website including prior year 

announcements. The website also holds the latest Company broker presentation used in analyst’s briefi ngs and current and historical share 

price details. Shareholders can subscribe to email alerts of ASX announcements.

Shareholders may elect to receive the Company’s Annual Report in hard or soft copy. Current and prior years’ Annual Reports are also 

available on the Company’s website.

Where possible, advance notice of signifi cant briefi ngs is given, including but not limited to results announcements, and makes them widely 

available through the Company’s website.

Principle 7:  Recognise and Manage Risk

Risk Assessment and Management
The Company’s focus on risk management recognises that risk management is, prima facie, an issue for line management. The current risk 

management framework supports this focus, providing a structured context to review past performance of and to profi le current and future 

risks. Management is required to ensure appropriate controls are in place to effectively manage identifi ed risks. Importance is placed on 

maintaining a strong control environment within the framework of the Company Quality Policy and the organisation structure has clear lines of 

accountability with authority formally delegated. Adherence to the control environment is required at all times and the Board actively promotes 

a culture of quality and integrity. 

The Board is responsible for satisfying itself annually, or more frequently as required, that management has developed and implemented 

a sound system of risk management, compliance and internal control. Management formally presents the Company’s Risk Register to the 

Board on a quarterly basis and provides more frequent updates where items have been identifi ed which materially impact the risk environment.

The Board requires each major proposal submitted to the Board for decision is accompanied by a comprehensive risk assessment and, 
where required, management’s proposed mitigation strategies.

The Environment, Occupational Health and Safety
The Company recognises the importance of Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) issues and is committed to the 

highest levels of performance. To help meet this objective the Company has regular monitoring to facilitate the systematic identifi cation of 

environmental issues and the OH&S committee meets monthly to review and discuss specifi c health and safety issues. This system allows 

the Company to:

(cid:129)  monitor compliance with all relevant legislation

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

continually assess and improve the impact of its operations on the environment

encourage employees to actively participate in the management of environmental and OH&S issues

work with trade associations representing the Company’s businesses to raise standards, and

use energy and other resources effi ciently.

Information on compliance with signifi cant environmental regulations is set out in the Report of Directors.

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

Corporate Reporting
Integrity of the Company’s fi nancial reporting depends on existence of sound risk oversight systems, management and internal control which 

are enhanced by certifi cations to the Board made by the MD and Chief Financial Offi cer :

(cid:129) 

that the Company’s fi nancial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the fi nancial condition and 

operational results of the Company and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards and Corporations Act 2001 provisions.

(cid:129) 

that the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control and which 

implements the policies adopted by the Board and that the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control is 

operating effi ciently and effectively in all material respects.

Principle 8:  Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee advises the Board on remuneration and incentives policies and practices generally, making 

specifi c recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive Directors and non-executive Directors.

Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the committee with regard to performance, relevant 

comparative information and independent expert advice. As well as base salary, remuneration packages include superannuation, 

performance-related bonuses and fringe benefi ts. Eligible employees also participate in the Employee Share Plan.

Remuneration packages are set at levels intended to attract and retain fi rst class executives capable of managing the Company’s operations 

and achieving the Company’s strategic objectives.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is also responsible for reviewing any transactions between the organisation and Directors, 

or any interests associated with Directors, to ensure the structure and terms of the transaction comply with Corporations Law and are 

appropriately disclosed.

Further information on Directors’ and executives’ remuneration is set out in the Report of Directors and note 25 to the fi nancial statements.

Notes To And Forming Part Of The Financial Statements

1. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the fi nancial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently 

applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

1.1 
These fi nancial statements are general purpose fi nancial statements prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting 

Statement of Compliance

Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law.

Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the fi nancial 

statements and notes of the Company comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

1.2 
These fi nancial statements have been prepared under the basis of historical cost, except for certain items that are measured at fair value at 

Basis of Preparation 

the end of the reporting period, as explained in the notes below. 

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market 

participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for 

measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these fi nancial statements is determined in such a basis, except for share-based payment 

transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117 and measurements that have 

some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realiseable value in AASB 2.

After consideration of forecasts of future activity made by management, the Directors consider it reasonably foreseeable that the Company 

will continue as a going concern and accordingly adopts the going concern basis in the preparation of the fi nancial report.

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise noted.

1.3 
The Company has adopted new and revised Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB which are mandatory to apply to the 

Change in Accounting Policy

previous reporting period and are detailed in Note 1.22. Disclosures required by these Standards that are deemed material have been 

included in this fi nancial report on the basis that they represent signifi cant change in information from that previously made available.

The Company incurs certain costs directly associated with income generation which are passed through to customers and which have not 

historically been separately disclosed in revenue or expense. As the Company is responsible for incurring the cost and recovering the funds 

from the customer it is considered that both revenue and expense should be refl ected in the Financial Statements. This policy change does 

not impact total reported profi t or loss, but sales revenue and cost of goods sold have each been increased by $2.462m (2013: $2.716m).

There have been no other signifi cant changes in accounting policies during the reporting period.

1.4 
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the notional income 

Income Tax

tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and 

liabilities and their carrying amounts in the fi nancial statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered 

or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are 

applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception 

is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is 

recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the 

transaction did not affect either accounting profi t or taxable profi t or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable 

amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

The Company is incurs eligible expenditure to support a R&D Tax Incentive Claim. This receivable balance is accounted for as a current tax 

asset and income tax expense.

1.5 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency (Australian Dollars) using exchange rates prevailing at the dates 

Foreign Currency Translation

of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates 

prevailing at that date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions and from translation at period end 

exchange rates of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities denominated are recognised in the Statement of Profi t or Loss and Other 

Comprehensive Income.

1.6 
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. A sale is recorded when manufactured goods have been 

Revenue Recognition

despatched to a customer pursuant to a sales order and title has passed. 

Service revenue is recognised in accordance with percentage of completion method. The stage of completion is determined with reference 

to key milestones achieved to date as a percentage of total contractual value.

Government grants from are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance the grant will be received and the company will 

comply with all attached conditions.

1.7 
These amounts represent amounts receivable relating to the provision of goods and services to a customer pursuant to a valid order or 

Trade and Other Receivables

contract. All receivables are recognised at the full amounts receivable, as they are due for settlement within 60 days of invoice date and 

therefore do not require re-measurement. 

Collectability of receivable balances is reviewed on an ongoing basis and a provision is raised where collection in full is no longer considered 

probable. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off.

1.8 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value with the cost determined on a fi rst-in-fi rst-out basis. Net realisable value 

Inventories

refl ects the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make 

the sale.

1.9 
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classifi ed as 

Leases

fi nance leases (note 21). Finance leases are capitalised as Assets at fair value at the lease’s inception, or if lower, at the present value of the 

minimum lease payments. Property, plant and equipment acquired under fi nance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful 

life and the lease term.

Leases in which a signifi cant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classifi ed as operating leases (note 

21). Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

1.10 
Freehold land and buildings are shown at their revalued amounts being the fair value at date of revaluation less subsequent depreciation for 

Property, Plant and Equipment

buildings. Revaluations are performed with suffi cient regularity such that carrying amounts do not differ materially from those that would be 

determined using fair values at the end of each reporting period. 

Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated 

in the revaluation reserve within equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are recognised against revaluation reserve 

directly in equity; all other decreases are recognised in profi t or loss. 

Plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. The cost of non-current 

assets constructed by the company includes the costs of all materials used in construction, direct labour on the project, and an appropriate 

proportion of directly attributable variable and fi xed overheads.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets (other than land) over their estimated useful lives, net of their 

residual values, using the straight line method, as follows:

For  the   yea r  ended  30  June  2014
Notes To And Forming Part Of The Financial Statements (Continued)

The cost of improvements to leasehold properties is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the 

improvement, whichever is the shorter. 

Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any 

changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement.

Plant is regularly overhauled through an ongoing cyclical maintenance program. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, except 

where they relate to replacement of a component of an asset, in which case the cost is capitalised and depreciated. Routine operating 

maintenance, repair costs and minor renewals are charged as expenses as incurred.

1.11 
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. 

Intangible Assets - Research and Development

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognised if all of the following conditions can be demonstrated:

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

technical feasibility of completing the project that it will be available for use or sale

intention to complete the intangible asset and use it or sell it

ability to use the intangible asset

how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefi ts

availability of adequate technical, fi nancial and other resources to complete the development

and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the development of the asset. 

The amount initially recognised for internally generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date the asset fi rst 

met the recognition criteria. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. 

Developments costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, 

typically ten years or contract life, whichever is shorter. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each 

reporting period, with the effect of any change accounted for on a prospective basis. 

1.12 
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine if there is 

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

any indication the assets may have suffered an impairment loss. Such indication could refl ect loss of a key commercial contract or material 

physical damage to an asset

The Company’s intangible assets are tested at least annually, and whenever there is an indication the asset may be impaired. The 

Company’s tangible assets being its property, plant and equipment are only tested for impairment when there is an indication that the asset 

may be impaired.

In testing for impairment, the recoverable amount of the Company’s intangible assets is determined using a value-in-use approach based on 

discounted cash fl ows for each project, and the recoverable amount of the Company’s property, plant and equipment is determined using a 

fair value less costs of disposal approach, based on either independent valuations or insured replacement cost.

An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profi t or loss immediately after identifi cation and the asset is derecognised when no 

future economic benefi ts are estimated from use or disposal. 

1.13 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the fi nancial year and which are 

Trade and Other Payables

unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-60 days of recognition.

1.14 
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal and constructive) as a consequence of a past event, it is 

Provisions

probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

28

I D T   A n n u a l   R e p o r t   2 0 1 4

F or  the  year  ended  30  June  201 4
Notes To And Forming Part Of The Financial Statements (Continued)

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the 

reporting period, taking account of the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cashfl ows 

estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashfl ows where the effect of the time value of 

money is material.

A restructuring provision is recognised where the Company has developed a detailed plan for the restructuring and raised a valid expectation 

in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. 

Measurement of the restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that 

are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the Company.

1.15 
A liability is recognised for benefi ts accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is 

Short and Long Term Employee Benefi ts

probable that settlement will be required and they can be reliably measured.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short term benefi ts are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at 

the time of settlement. 

Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefi ts are measured at the present value of the estimated future outfl ows to be 

made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. 

Payments to defi ned contribution retirement benefi t plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling 

them to the contributions.

1.16   
Share-based compensation benefi ts are provided to employees via the IDT Australia Limited Executive Option Plan (EOP) and the Employee 

Share-based payments

Share Plan (ESP). 

(i) 

Executive Option Plan

The fair value of options granted under the EOP is recognised as an employee benefi t expense with a corresponding increase in 

equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled 

to the options and is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the 

term of the option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant 

date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. 

Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.

(ii) 

Employee Share Plan 

The ESP provides an annual value of up to $1000 of shares may be issued to employees for no consideration. The market value of shares 

issued to employees for no cash consideration under the ESP is recognised as an employee benefi ts expense with a corresponding 

increase in equity when the employees become entitled to the shares. 

Additionally within the ESP, Executive managers were offered shares in the Company issued at the current market value at the date of issue 

and funded by an interest free limited recourse loan from the Company. Grants within the framework of the ESP were determined by the MD 

together with the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and subject to approval by the Board.

Amounts disclosed for emoluments relating to these shares are the assessed fair values at issue date determined using a Black-Scholes 

option pricing model taking into account the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected 

dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

1.17   
For purposes of the statement of cashfl ows, cash and cash equivalents includes deposits which are readily convertible to cash on hand and 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

in banks and which are used in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Basic Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profi t or loss attributable to equity holders of 

the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 

outstanding during the fi nancial year.

(ii) 

Diluted Earnings per Share - Diluted earnings per share adjusts the fi gures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to 

take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other fi nancing 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. 

1.19   
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the amount of GST incurred on a purchase of 

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of 

the asset, or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the taxation 

authority is included as part of receivables or payables on the Balance Sheet.

Cashfl ows are included in the statement of cashfl ow on a gross basis. The GST component of cashfl ows arising from investing and fi nancing 

activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority are classifi ed as operating cashfl ows.

1.20   
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, determined or publicly recommended by the Directors on or before the end of the 

Dividends

fi nancial year but not distributed at balance date.

1.21   
The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 

Rounding of Amounts

the “rounding off” of amounts in the fi nancial statements. Amounts in the fi nancial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that 

Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

1.22   
In the current year, the Company applied a number of new and revised AASBs issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 

Application of New and revised Accounting Standards 

that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2013.

AASB 2011-4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure 

Requirements’
This standard removes individual key management personnel disclosure requirements in AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’. As a result 

the Company only discloses key management personnel compensation in total and for each of the categories required in AASB 124.

In the current year the individual key management personnel disclosure previously required by AASB 124 is now disclosed in the 

remuneration report due to amendment to Corporations Regulations 2001 issued in June 2013.

AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’
The Company has applied the amendments to AASB 7 ‘Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’ for the fi rst time in 

the current year. The amendments to AASB 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as 

collateral posting requirements) for fi nancial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.

The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Company does not have any offsetting arrangements in place, the application of 

the amendments does not have any material impact on the fi nancial statements.

AASB 2012-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle’
The Annual Improvements to AASBs 2009 - 2011 have made a number of amendments to AASBs. The amendments relevant to the 

Company are the amendments to AASB 101 regarding when a statement of fi nancial position as at the beginning of the preceding period 

(third statement of fi nancial position) and the related notes are required to be presented. The amendments specify that a third statement 

of fi nancial position is required when a) an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes a retrospective restatement or

reclassifi cation of items in its fi nancial statements, and b) the retrospective application, restatement or reclassifi cation has a material effect on 

the information in the third statement of fi nancial position. The amendments specify that related notes are not required to accompany the third 

statement of fi nancial position.

AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and AASB 2011-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13’
The Company has applied AASB 13 for the fi rst time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value 

measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements 

of AASB 13 apply to both fi nancial instrument items and non-fi nancial instrument items for which other AASBs require or permit fair value 

measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of 

AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117 ‘Leases’, and measurements that have some 

similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment 

assessment purposes).

AASB 13 defi nes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the 

principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price 

regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, AASB 13 includes extensive 

disclosure requirements.

AASB 13 requires prospective application from 1 July 2013. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the Company has not made 

any new disclosures required by AASB 13 for the 2013 comparative period (refer notes 9 and 20 for 2014 disclosures). Application of AASB 

13 does not materially impact amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements.

The Company’s freehold land and buildings are stated at revalued amounts, being fair value at the date of revaluation, less subsequent accumulated 
depreciation. The fair value measurement was performed by independent valuers effective 6 February 2014 and are no indicators to suggest this 
valuation is not also effective as at 30 June 2014.  The valuations, conform to Australian Valuation Standards and were calculated based on the 
fair value of the land and depreciated replacement cost of the buildings.  

The fair value of the land and buildings was determined based on the forced sale value approach that refl ects a sale by the receiver at public 
auction or within a reasonable period after such auction having regard to the nature of the subject property after full and proper marketing and 
the valuer’s view of the market conditions prevailing at the date of the valuation report, which differs to the concept of market value and represent 
expressions of property prices achieved under different selling conditions.  There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year.

During the year, as the result of the lack of commercial viability, the Company carried out a review of the recoverable amount of intangible 

assets.  The review led to the recognition of an impairment of $0.6 million (2013: $1 million), which has been recognised in profit or loss. 

The recoverable amount of the Company’s intangible assets is determined using a value-in-use approach based on discounted cashflows 

for each project.

a) Market risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when commercial transactions and assets and liabilities are denominated in a 

currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.  Due to the small value of foreign currency denominated transactions and balances 

the Company does not take forward contracts and therefore has exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to 

the US dollar and Euro.  It is Company policy to contract and invoice in Australian dollars where possible.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at 30 June 2014 is detailed below. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates are 

unlikely to have a material impact on the financial position of the Company

The Company has limited exposure to interest rate risk as it holds no significant interest bearing assets or borrowings.

b) Credit risk
The Company closely manages credit risk and has procedures to review customer credit worthiness and monitors exposure to any 

one customer.

c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company is not able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. The Company currently has no 

borrowings, other than Finance leases, and significant undrawn banking facilities. Directors ensure sufficient cash is available to meet the 

Company’s near and long term commitments.

24.    Share based Payments

Executive Share Option Plan
The establishment of the IDT Australia Limited Executive Share Option Plan was approved by a General Meeting of the company held on 

16 May 1995.  Senior executives (including Directors of the Company) are eligible to participate in the plan.  

The number of unissued ordinary shares under the options at 30 June 2014 is 500,000 (2013 : 500,000). 

Options are granted under the IDT Australia Limited Executive Option Plan terms and conditions.  Options are granted under the plan for 

no consideration.  Options are granted for a four year period, and vest immediately when they are granted.

No options were issued in this reporting period under the IDT Australia Limited Executive Option Plan.

Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights, when exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share.

The exercise price of options is based on the weighted average price at which the company’s shares are traded on the Australian Stock 

Exchange  during  the  five  trading  days  immediately  before  the  options  are  granted  or  at  a  premium  to  this  price  as  the  Directors  may 

determine.

The amounts disclosed for emoluments relating to options above are the assessed fair values at grant date of options granted to executive 

Directors and other executives, allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date.  Fair values at grant date are independently 

determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and 

performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility 

of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

Employee Share Plan

The new Employee Share Plan (ESP) was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 20 November 2013. 

During the year ended 30th June 2014, the Company issued 2,021,048 ordinary shares under the rules of the IDT Australia Limited 
ESP (2013: nil).

Under the scheme, eligible employees may be offered up to $1,000 worth of fully-paid ordinary shares in IDT Australia Limited annually for 
no cash consideration. The market value of shares issued under the scheme, measured as the weighted average market price on the day 
of issue of the shares, is recognised in the income statement as part of employee benefit costs in the period the shares are granted.

Shares issued under the scheme may not be sold until the earlier of three years after issue or cessation of employment with the 
company. In all other respects the shares rank equally with other fully-paid ordinary shares on issue.

The number of shares issued to participants in the scheme is the offer amount divided by the weighted average price at which the 
company’s shares are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange during the five trading days immediately before the date of the offer.

Additionally within the ESP, Executive managers were offered shares in the Company issued at the current market value at the date of 
issue and funded by an interest free limited recourse loan from the Company. Grants within the framework of the ESP were determined 
by the MD together with the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and subject to approval by the Board.

Amounts disclosed for emoluments relating to these shares are the assessed fair values at issue date determined using a Black-Scholes 
option pricing model taking into account the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected 
dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

Expenses arising from Share-based Payment Transactions

29.    Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of 

future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The following critical judgements have been made in application of the entity’s accounting policies.

Future economic benefit of capitalised development costs

The Company applies AASB 138 Intangible Assets to determine the adequacy of the carrying value of the capitalised development 

costs.  Judgement is applied to periodically assess the appropriateness of the carrying value. 

In making this judgement, the Company makes reasonable and supportable assumptions to represent management’s estimate of the 

conditions that will exist over the useful life of the asset.  Amongst other factors the Company evaluates technical feasibility to complete 

the project, existence of a commercial market and sales expectations to conclude on the probability that expected future economic 

benefits will flow to the entity.

Where the value of future economic benefits relative to the asset’s carrying value is considered insufficient, the Company recognises an 

impairment in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.

30.    Events After the Reporting Period

The Company signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding with Mayne Pharma Group Limited’s, US Products division appointing 

them exclusively to distribute the Company’s generic Temozolomide product in the USA.  Temozolomide is indicated for the treatment of 

melanoma and glioblastoma multiforme and had US sales of approximately USD 340 million in the 12 months ending 31 May 2014.  It 

is anticipated that manufacture of this product will commence at the Company’s Boronia facility in 2016.

31.    Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities

The company has no contingent assets or liabilities to disclose at the date of this report.

Independent Auditor’s Report
to the Members of IDT Australia Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying fi nancial report of IDT Australia Limited, which comprises the statement of 
fi nancial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of profi t or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement 
of cash fl ows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of 
signifi cant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration as set out on pages 
20 to 44. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the fi nancial report that gives a true and fair view 
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as 
the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the fi nancial report that gives a true and fair view 
and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi nancial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in ac-
cordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical require-
ments relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the 
fi nancial report is free from material misstatement.  

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

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

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
