A Breakthrough in Early Cancer Detection
A new way to image the body
It’s been over 50 years since the last new imaging technology was introduced.

We use PrecisionMRX® nanoparticles to find and detect cancer
1. Our MagSense™ nanoparticles use the PrecisionMRX®
cores and add a targeting molecule, such as the HER2
antibody currently in development for breast cancer.
2. When injected into the body, these targeted
nanoparticles bind to cancerous cells, if present,
and produce a detectable magnetic signature.
3. The functional image informs the physician if
tumour is present.
4.
If no cancer is present, the nanoparticles do not
produce a magnetic signature and are harmlessly
metabolised by normal body functions.
Imagion Biosystems has future plans to develop
nanoparticles coated with other antibodies for
indicators such as prostate and ovarian cancer.
Despite technical advances in these areas, there is a
clear unmet need for a new technology that detects
cancer with higher specificity and sensitivity without
exposing patients to ionizing radiation.
In 2019 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH),
the U.S. agency regulating medical device technologies,
designated the MagSense™ System and Test for
HER2 breast cancer as a “Breakthrough Device”.
“What excites me about MagSense
is the potential for a new way to
achieve a functional image without
radiation. If we are able to show
it works clinically it would be a
significant breakthrough.”
Mike Harsh
Non-Executive Director of Imagion and
former VP and CTO, GE Healthcare
Saving lives through early cancer detection and treatment
The global cancer diagnostic market is approximately $100 billion annually, yet every year cancer kills 9 million
people because many of these cases are detected too late. There is a clear need for early and better diagnosis.
Imagion is on a mission to make cancer more detectable and at an earlier stage where possible. Our first product
focuses on improving the staging of HER2 metastatic breast cancer. Future indicators may include primary
diagnosis of prostate and ovarian cancer.
A small Phase I clinical study for our MagSense™ technology was initiated in Australia in 2020. The study will
evaluate the safety of our MagSense™ nanoparticles and provide evidence of feasibility of two imaging methods:
PrecisionMRX® iron oxide nanoparticles
are core to our business
• Precisely made to control for properties important
in many biomedical applications.
• Super Paramagnetic with high magnetic susceptibility.
• Bio-safe, non-toxic.
• Non-radioactive.
• Commercially available for research use.
Use with our proprietary magnetic relaxometry method
• Our MagSenseTM instrument uses ultra-sensitive magnetic
sensors to detect the tiny bio-safe nanoparticles.
• Nanoparticles bound to cancer cells act like a magnetic
beacon to identify the presence of a tumour.
Use with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Our nanoparticles could offer a safer alternative to the
widely used contrast agent gadolinium.
• Siemens Healthineers Australia is collaborating with Imagion
in our Phase I study to explore the utility of our nanoparticles.

Letter From the Chairman
Dear Shareholders,
It has been a year of strong progress for Imagion
Biosystems as we advanced the development of
our novel MagSenseTM technology, to initiate our first
in-human study for HER2 metastatic breast cancer.
We have worked diligently for the past few years to
bring us to this point, and are proud to have initiated
the study against the backdrop of global uncertainly
due the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout 2020, we have remained steadfast in
executing our plan and completing the necessary
requirements to get the study underway. This included
manufacturing of the MagSense™ HER2 nanoparticles
for use in the study, preparing and obtaining Ethics
approval (HREC), and of course signing a collaboration
agreement with Siemens Healthineers to support our
study’s use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). I am
proud of our team’s achievements to get us to this point.
Early in the year we appointed Dr Oliver Steinbach
as Vice President Clinical and Regulatory Affairs.
Dr Steinbach has been instrumental in leading the
execution of the first in-human study. Following our
HREC approval we reported that Monash Health was
our first clinical site for the study to be led by Dr Jane
Fox, the current Director of Breast Services at Monash
Health, a highly regarded clinician who has dedicated
her career to improving outcomes for patients with
breast cancer and who is strongly supportive of the
trial. I am also pleased to inform our shareholders
that site initiation and training has now begun at
a second site as well.
The utility of our underlying magnetic nanoparticles
in biomedicine continues to expand as evidenced
by publications from leading academic organisations.
Research from the University of Sydney published
earlier in the year highlighted the utility of Imagion’s
iron oxide nanoparticles in enabling ultra low-field
magnetic resonance imaging (ULF MRI). This finding
could lead to a reduced cost and improved accessibility
of MRI. Another publication, by researchers at Weill
Cornell Medical College, demonstrated the potential
utility of our nanoparticles in a HIV-1 therapy, being
used to stimulate the body’s immune response by
creating a ‘particulate immunogen’.
Our ability to raise funds during the year was instrumental in enabling us to continue our
efforts to initiate the study unimpeded and has considerably strengthened our balance
sheet providing working capital to accelerate key development plans. Additionally, the
funds will enable Imagion to expand the product pipeline to other forms of cancers.
In April 2020 we completed an oversubscribed Rights Issue and shortfall placement,
raising $2.2 million (net of costs). The company raised a further $10.0 million in
August and November, in two oversubscribed placements. Each raise was well
supported by new and existing sophisticated and institutional investors. Imagion’s
balance sheet was also strengthened by non-dilutive funding, with a $2.2 million
Research & Development tax rebate received for the 2019 financial year.
In May 2020, the company appointed Ms Dianne Angus to its Board of Directors.
Ms Angus joined the board as a Non-Executive Director. Ms Angus brings executive
management and listed company director experience in the biotechnology,
biopharmaceutical, agritech and healthcare industries.
Mr Geoff Hollis was appointed as Chief Financial Officer in December this year.
He has strengthened our leadership team and is helping to drive the business
forward during the next phase of growth.
I’d like to thank our tremendous team for the hard work and commitment they have
shown, and congratulate them on achieving our goals in 2020. Our path ahead is
exciting as we progress our Phase I study, accelerate development plans and expand
our product pipeline to include other potential applications of our technology.
On behalf of the Board and all Imagion Biosystems employees, I want to thank
investors for your continued support. The groundbreaking work we are doing
to develop our transformative MagSense™ technology would not be possible
without your funding and support.
I look forward to updating you during 2021 on our progress.

Directors' Report
For the year ended 31 December 2020
Remuneration Report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity,
in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling
the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
•
•
•
•
•
•
principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration;
details of remuneration;
service agreements;
share‐based compensation;
additional information; and
additional disclosures relating to key management personnel.
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive
and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the
delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria
for good reward governance practices:
•
•
•
•
competitiveness and reasonableness;
acceptability to shareholders;
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and
transparency.
The Board has determined the remuneration arrangements for the directors and executives with the appointment of the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee they will be responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration
arrangements for its directors and executives.
The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration
philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high‐quality personnel.
The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it
should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:
•
•
having economic profit as a core component of plan design;
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and
delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non‐financial drivers of
value; and
attracting and retaining high calibre executives.
•
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; and
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.

Imagion Biosystems Limited
Directors' Report
For the year ended 31 December 2020
Non‐executive director's remuneration
Fees and payments to non‐executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non‐executive
directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may, from time to time, receive advice from
independent remuneration consultants to ensure non‐executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line
with the market.
The Board recommends the actual payments to directors and shareholders are responsible for ratifying any
recommendations, if appropriate. ASX listing rules require the aggregate non‐executive director’s remuneration be
determined periodically by a general meeting. The aggregate approved remuneration for non‐executive directors is
$250,000.
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of
remuneration which has both fixed and variable components.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has five components:
•
•
•
•
•
base pay and non‐monetary benefits;
short‐term performance incentives;
share‐based payments;
health care benefits; and
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave.
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary and non‐monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and
Nomination Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated
entity and comparable market remunerations.
Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the
executive.
The short‐term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance
hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance
indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. No STI payments were proposed or paid during the year to executives.
The long‐term incentives ('LTI') include share‐based payments. Shares are awarded to executives over a period of three
years based on long‐term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholders’ value relative to the entire market
and the increase compared to the consolidated entity's direct competitors.
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of cash
bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion of
the cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Directors' Report
For the year ended 31 December 2020
Indemnity and insurance of officers
The company has indemnified the directors and executives of the company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a
director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.
During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of
the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.
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.
Non‐audit services
Non‐audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor included $4,700 for advice in relation to adopting
AASB 16 and option valuation services. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of these non‐audit services is
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The nature
and scope of these non‐audit services mean that auditor independence was not compromised.
Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding‐off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
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.
On behalf of the directors

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
As lead auditor for the audit of the financial report of Imagion Biosystems Limited and its subsidiaries for the year

contraventions of:
(i)
the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and
(ii)
any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
1
Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements of Imagion Biosystems Limited & Controlled Entities (the "consolidated entity") for 31
December 2020 were authorised for issue by the Directors on 25 February 2021.
Basis of Preparation
a)
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 available‐for‐sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial
instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting
policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
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 20.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Imagion
Biosystems Limited as at 31 December 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Imagion
Biosystems 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.
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.
27
Imagion Biosystems Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
1
Significant accounting policies (continued)
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.
Comparatives
Comparative figures for the prior year have been re‐classified where appropriate to align with current year
disclosures.
Going Concern
b)
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of
normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of
business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $5,364,007 (2019:
$3,432,506), and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $4,623,090 (2019: $4,182,045) for the year
ended 31 December 2020. The consolidated entity is still in the product development phase recording minimal
sales revenue, consequently it is dependent on external funding to cover ongoing product development and has
forecast losses for the next financial year.
Despite this financial position, the Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the
consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern after considering the following factors:
•
•
•
•
The consolidated entity successfully raised $14.8 million (net of costs) during 2020 from a combination of
rights issues, placements and exercises of options;
The consolidated entity is expecting to receive further material funds upon the exercise of listed options in
2021;
The Directors are confident that the consolidated entity has sufficient funds to meet its objectives in 2021;
The consolidated entity has historically received some cost relief through the receipt of research &
development income tax incentives and the directors expect this to continue.

Foreign currency translation
c)
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Imagion Biosystems Limited's functional
and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions
and from the translation at financial year‐end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at
the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using
the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All
resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign
currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is
disposed of.
d)
Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected
to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer,
the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the
contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the
time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the
relative stand‐alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when
or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods
or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as
discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent
events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The
measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be
recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative
revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with
the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining
principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the
goods, which is generally at the time of delivery.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period
using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through
the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Income tax
e)
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on
the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where
applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be
applied when the assets are recovered, or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or
substantively enacted, except for:
•
•
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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 nor taxable profits; or
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint
ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled, and it is probable that the temporary difference
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date.
Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits
will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the
same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle
simultaneously.
Current and non‐current classification
f)
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.
30
Imagion Biosystems Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020

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.
Cash and cash equivalents
g)
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short‐
term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the statement of
cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
Trade and other receivables
h)
Trade 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. Trade receivables are generally due for
settlement within 30 days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped
based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.
Investments and other financial assets
i)
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part
of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are
subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is
determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred
and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is
no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are
classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i)
held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short‐term with an intention of
making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value
movements are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the
consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as
such upon initial recognition.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are
either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the
loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to
whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on
reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12‐month
expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit
losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset
has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss
allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised
is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of
the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is
recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or
loss.
Property, plant and equipment
j)
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 is calculated using straight‐line and diminishing value methods to write off the net cost of each
item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant and equipment
3‐10 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic
benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are
taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to
retained profits.
Right‐of‐use assets
k)
A right‐of‐use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right‐of‐use asset is measured at
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred,
and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for
dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right‐of‐use assets are depreciated on a straight‐line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain
ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life.
Right‐of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
32
Imagion Biosystems Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
1
Significant accounting policies (continued)
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right‐of‐use asset and corresponding lease liability for
short‐term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low‐value assets. Lease payments on these
assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Research and development
l)
Research costs for the development of intellectual property are expenses in the period in which they are
incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its
commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated
entity has sufficient resources; and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably.
Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset
to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure is
capitalised and is amortised on a straight‐line basis over the period of expected benefits from the related
project.
Trade and other payables
m)
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of
the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short‐term nature they are measured at amortised cost
and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
Borrowings
n)
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction
costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Lease liabilities
o)
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at
the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest
rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental
borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease
payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees,
exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any
anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a
rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a
lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right‐of use asset, or to profit or loss if
the carrying amount of the right‐of‐use asset is fully written down.
Finance costs
p)
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Provisions
q)
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a
result of a past event, it is probable that the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best
estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account
the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted using a current pre‐tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the
passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
r)
Employee benefits
Short‐term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‐monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled.
Other long‐term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting
date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided
by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to
expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected
future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Share‐based payments
Equity‐settled and cash‐settled share‐based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity‐settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in
exchange for the rendering of services. Cash‐settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of
services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity‐settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently
determined using either the Binomial or Black‐Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise
price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, 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,
together with non‐vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the
services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity‐settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity
over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of
the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the
vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at
each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.
The cost of cash‐settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying
either the Binomial or Black‐Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on
which the award was granted.
34
Imagion Biosystems Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
1
Significant accounting policies (continued)
The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
•
•
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date
multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period; and
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the
liability at the reporting date.
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash‐settled transactions is the
cash paid to settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to
market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met,
provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity‐settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not
been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that
increases the total fair value of the share‐based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non‐vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or
employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over
the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity‐settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any
remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled
award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Fair value measurement
s)
When an asset or liability, financial or non‐financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the
transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests.
For non‐financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques
that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are
used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each
reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
For recurring and non‐recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise
is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on
market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from
one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the
latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
Issued capital
t)
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of tax, from the proceeds.
Dividends
u)
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the
company.
v)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Imagion Biosystems
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.
w) Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is
not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the
statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax
authority.

Rounding of amounts
x)
The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding‐off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in
accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest
dollar.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian
y)
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 31
December 2020. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting
Standards and Interpretations.

Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements
The preparation of the 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. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are
discussed below.
Fair value measurement hierarchy
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level
hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level
1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the
measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category
the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation
charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change
significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge
will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non‐
strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements (continued)
Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right‐of‐use asset and lease liability.
Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease
or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised,
when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and
circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a
termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the
importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to
prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and
the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain
to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant
change in circumstances.
Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is
estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease
commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a
third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right‐of‐use asset, with
similar terms, security and economic environment.
3 Operating segments
Identification of reporting operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into one operating segment being Research & Development. This operating
segment is based on internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as
the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM) in assessing performance and in determine the allocation of
resources).

The consolidated entity leased land and buildings for its offices in December 2019 under an agreement of 25
months with an option to extend. The lease has various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the lease are
renegotiated.
The consolidated entity leases office equipment under agreements of less than two years. These leases are either
short‐term or low‐value, so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right‐of‐use assets.

The consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’s overall risk
management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential
adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different
methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in
the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in
respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Derivatives are not currently used by the consolidated entity for hedging purposes. The consolidated entity does
not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.
Market risk
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, in particular United States dollars.
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.
The consolidated entity had net assets denominated in foreign currencies of $1,982,996 (assets of $2,822,183 less
liabilities of $829,187) as at 31 December 2020 (2019: Net assets $216,998 (assets of $1,501,217 less liabilities of
$1,284,219)). Based on this exposure, had the Australian dollar weakened by 5%/strengthened by 5% (2019:
weakened by 5%/strengthened by 5%) against these foreign currencies with all other variables held constant, the
consolidated entity's loss before tax for the year would have been $99,150 lower/$99,150 higher (2019: $10,850
lower/$10,850 higher) .

1,284,218
Price risk
The Consolidated Entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that the counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the consolidated entity. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the consolidated entity if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the
consolidated entity’s receivables from customers and investment securities. The consolidated entity has only
minimal sales revenue and consequently does not have credit exposure to outstanding receivables.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument
will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing
financial assets and liabilities that the consolidated entity uses. Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash
equivalents which are considered to be short‐term liquid assets and investment decisions are governed by the
monetary policy.
During the year, the consolidated entity had no variable rate interest bearing liability. It is the consolidated
entity's policy to settle trade payables within the credit terms allowed and therefore not incur interest on
overdue balances.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due. The consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’s reputation. The consolidated entity’s
objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility. The consolidated entity’s
exposure to financial obligations relating to corporate administration and projects expenditure, are subject to
budgeting and reporting controls, to ensure that such obligations do not exceed cash held and known cash
inflows for a period of at least 1 year.
Remaining contractual maturities
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.

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually

Fair value measurement
The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value,
using a three‐level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value
measurement, being:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at
the measurement date
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate
their fair values due to their short‐term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities are estimated by discounting
the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial
liabilities.
Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2.
Unquoted investments have been valued using a discounted cash flow model.
Derivative financial instruments have been valued using quoted market rates. This valuation technique maximises
the use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(I) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of
our report. We are independent of the Consolidated Entity in accordance with the auditor independence
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and
Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to
our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's
report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matters (continued)
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Fair Value of the share-based payments
Refer to Note 24 in the financial statements
In prior periods and in the current period IBX
awarded share-based payments in the form of
performance rights and share options. In addition, in
the current financial period several employees and
non-executive directors converted their performance
rights and options to shares.
There is an element of subjectivity in management’s
assessment regarding the achievement of vesting
conditions relating to the performance rights.
We identified share-based payments as a key audit
area due the complexity in the valuation of the
options and performance rights issued.
Going Concern
IBX has been
Historically,
loss-making, has
significant cash outflows and is dependent on
continued support from investors through ongoing
capital raises to fund research and development
activities during its current start-up phase.
We noted key financial indicators for the period such
as operating losses, and operating cash outflows of
$7.1m for the 12 months. IBX had cash reserves of
approximately $13.2m as 31 December 2020 to cover
IBX’s forecast cash burn for the upcoming financial
year of approximately $11m.
We included the going concern assumption as a key
audit matter as the company relies on external
support to cover its planned expenditure.
Our audit procedures included, among others:

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 but does not include the financial
report and the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Consolidated Entity
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Consolidated Entity or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.
This description forms part of our auditor's report.
