Skinny Tan™

•  Skinny Tan™ has become the second best-selling brand out of 18 brands in its category for Boots Ireland for the

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Team expansion

•  Appointed Ross Andrews as a UK based Non-Executive Director

•  Appointed various business development and marketing staff in UK and Australia tasked to oversee successful 

launch of new brands in those key markets

•  Appointed Amy Newman as Head of UK & Ireland Sales & Marketing

Haris Chaudhry, Executive Chairman of InnovaDerma, said:

“We  have  delivered  a  robust  financial  performance  and  exceeded  nearly  every  key  performance  indicator  we  set 
for  ourselves  in  FY  2017.  The  journey,  however,  has  just  begun  as  we  prepare  to  launch  multiple  new  brands 
that  we  have  either  successfully  developed  in-house  or  acquired  during  the  past  12  months.  The  strength  in  our 
proven international DTC platform and retail distribution channels should allow us to replicate the success we are 
experiencing with Skinny Tan™.

“Our sights are set on growing Skinny Tan™ which is fast becoming a cult brand with a large loyal customer base, and 
launching our highly innovative life science product portfolio in the US.

“This new chapter of becoming a true multi-brand global business in life science, beauty and personal care will be 
exciting, challenging and I believe very rewarding. Our successful journey thus far has been underpinned by agility, 
razor-sharp focus on outcome and enabling our core team of decision makers to merge their creativity and commercial 
acumen using technology and social media to monitor market dynamics and create value for our shareholders.

“On behalf of the Board of InnovaDerma, I would like to express our gratitude to our supportive shareholders and our 
talented  and  hardworking  team  and  together  we  look  forward  to  achieving  further  successes  in  this  new  financial 
year.”

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Strategic Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 30 June 2017

Executive Chairman’s Statement

Introduction

I am pleased to present an excellent set of results for the year ended 30 June 2017, which are well ahead of our initial 
expectations. The Group’s financial performance reflects management’s ability to transform and grow a brand and 
create a highly effective DTC platform using social media campaigns, which enables greater customer engagement 
and ownership. This has created a strong platform for sustainable future growth.

Our revenue and profit performance has been consistently strong throughout the year, reflecting the success and 
popularity of Skinny Tan™ and it is pleasing to note that five out of six months in the second half of the year delivered 
record revenues. The Group delivered revenues of £8.858 million in the period under review up 105.8% (FY2016: 
£4.305m). Profit before tax increased by 325.7% to £1.029m (FY2016: £0.242m).

Self-tanning

The Skinny Tan™ brand has gone from strength to strength and since acquisition in May 2015 we have witnessed an 
ever-increasing demand for the product range. This has been backed largely through our highly innovative and scalable 
DTC strategy. We have worked tirelessly with our retail partners to keep growing the product range through product 
extensions, increasing shelf space and innovative marketing initiatives. Skinny Tan™’s brand appeal has seen it attract 
more than 300,000 followers on its social media platforms. It is now sold in 12 countries and is fast becoming a 
cult  brand.  In  the  period  under  review,  we  launched  exciting  new  product  extensions  including  Skinny  Tan™  Salon 
Effects  Spray,  a  coconut-scented  salon  quality  self-tanner  spray  for  customers  who  want  to  attain  a  salon  quality, 
streak- free instantly-bronzed skin at home. Additionally, we entered the skin care market through Body Glow™, a body 
moisturising range which is available in 500 Superdrug stores and is performing strongly.

As we enter new regions, products and packaging are tailored to meet market and customer preferences and to 
this end, we have developed a new Skin Brightening / Skin Toning and Sun Care range with SPF 50+ ‘Skinny-Tan 
Whitening’. This product has been launched in to 650 independent pharmacy stores in Korea after securing KFDA 
(Korea Food & Drug Administration approval). This range will be relaunched under the brand EnBright™ in various 
new markets including Asia, Africa and Australia, and relaunched in Korea with new high-end branding and packaging. 
The decision was taken to bring a globally-consistent brand to a segment the Company believes presents worldwide 
appeal.

Product innovation is a core driver of growth and the Company was pleased to announce as part of its most recent 
Operational Update two new brands in skincare and facial care which are expected to be launched on its DTC platform 
and with a large high street retail chain in the UK in early 2018. Together with these two new innovative products the 
Company will have a retail product portfolio covering bronzing and tanning, body care, skin care and facial skin care.

Cosmetic and Skincare

We acquired Stevie K Cosmetics™ and Charles + Lee™ in February 2017. Stevie K Cosmetics™ is an award winning, 
mid-priced,  bold  range  of  cosmetics  with  strong  branding  and  eye-catching  packaging  targeted  at  the  irreverent 
individual in the Millennial and Generation Zero market. Founded in 2016, the brand is positioned as Australian made, 
cruelty free, high quality and edgy.

Charles + Lee™ is an affordable alternative premium range of men’s skin care products, marketed as an effective 
and understated brand, containing natural and organic ingredients. It is cruelty free and has been certified by the 
Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (the “RSPO”).

Both  brands  are  early  stage  and  revenue  generating  which  are  well  suited  for  social  media,  one  of  the  keys  to 
driving  brand  loyalty  and  revenue.  Charles  +  Lee™  was  launched  in  April  this  year  through  our  DTC  platform  and 
has since secured distribution in 30 of Myers’ 60 stores. Myer is Australia’s largest department store chain, and 
adds significant credibility to the brand. The Group expects to launch Charles + Lee™ in further new retail channels 
throughout Australia, New Zealand, UK and Europe during the new financial year. Further momentum will be created 
through our DTC platform as we grow the product range to include multiple new men’s skin care, hygiene and shaving 
product extensions.

6

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017The Company launched Stevie K Cosmetics™’s new website and lip-only products through its DTC platform in Australia 
in August. Stevie K Cosmetics™’s range of cruelty-free, award winning products include face and eye make-up, and 
we expect to launch in the UK through our DTC platform and in a high street retail chain in the first quarter of 2018. 
We plan to launch the brand in other international markets shortly thereafter.

Despite only being launched this year, the two brands are performing in line with management expectations.

Haircare

In August, we launched Roots™ Double Effect, an innovative and highly-effective topical hair care range for men and 
women to aid hair regrowth and hair thickening. The hair care range currently consists of five products, including 
uniquely formulated shampoos and conditioners in attractive packaging and is available in Superdrug’s top 400 stores. 
The range of products is available online and will be launched elsewhere in Europe and Australia later in the year. 
The Company is embarking on creating highly visual and appealing marketing assets and collateral which it will deploy 
through its DTC channel to create client demand, footfall for its retail channels and to establish the brand in multiple 
markets  globally.  It  expects  gradual  and  consistent  building  of  the  brand  in  various  markets  throughout  the  new 
financial year.

With product innovation at its core, the Company is developing new products in hair styling and a dry- shampoo range 
which it expects to launch both in DTC and retail channels.

Life Sciences

In May 2017, we acquired Ergon Medical Limited, the owner of the intellectual property rights of Prolong™, the world’s 
only medical device for premature ejaculation cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”). Prolong™ can 
be sold without prescription, is patented in 72 countries and ready for mass-market distribution.

The Company is currently finalising its launch strategy for Prolong™ for the US and Australia and has also started 
receiving  interest  from  distribution  companies  in  Europe  and  Asia.  The  Company  remains  confident  of  creating  a 
successful  launch  strategy  and  in  positioning  the  brand  as  a  highly  effective,  world  leading  and  side  effect-free 
treatment option for a problem affecting one in four men globally.

Headmaster, a wearable helmet to aid hair generation, is expected to receive regulatory clearance towards the end 
of this year. The Company is finalising a ‘go to market’ strategy for FDA- cleared Prolong™ and Headmaster prior to 
the end of 2017 in the US, followed by launch in Australia, UK and Europe in 2018.

With  the  aim  of  creating  a  significant  portfolio  of  Life  Science  products,  the  Company  is  looking  at  developing  a 
new  range  of  devices  complementary  to  HeadMaster  and  Prolong™  in  the  fast-growing  market  for  acne  and  skin 
tightening/wrinkle reducing treatments. These devices will be FDA-cleared before being launched in the US and other 
regions, and will result in economies of scale with a wider product portfolio in our Life Sciences segment.

People

On  behalf  of  the  Board,  I  would  like  to  welcome  Ross  Andrews  to  the  Board  of  Directors.  Ross  brings  with  him 
extensive PLC experience and we look forward to working with him to grow the business. We have made a number of 
operational appointments including that of Amy Newman who will be working alongside Michael Hume to further the 
growth in the UK and Europe. We have a very talented team who believe in speed, creativity and work hard for this 
business. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank them sincerely for their commitment and helping to deliver this 
excellent performance.

Our strategy and outlook

We have a very disciplined approach to our strategy which has enabled us to deliver exceptional revenue and profit 
growth.

The outlook for the Company remains very strong on many fronts; the continuous growth of Skinny Tan™ through 
new channels and new territories, the ever-growing size of our online community DTC channel, the launch of our new 
brands through retail and DTC, both for our topical as well as life science portfolio.

7

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Strategic Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 30 June 2017

With this level of growth expected to continue, we need to invest in new talent in multiple markets, especially growing 
our teams in the US and Australia. We are on the hunt for new people to underpin the new phase of our growth, 
backed by high quality but lean marketing campaigns as we launch these brands.

In our quest to become a very significant and fast growing global player, we believe our core strategy is to gain scale 
through  DTC  and  to  create  initial  footfall  to  retailers.  This  requires  investment  of  time  and  resources  but  as  the 
momentum grows, the speed of growth will deliver significant return. The first half of this new financial year will see 
investment in our brands and people to create a solid foundation as we embark on our next stage of growth.

The first half of this financial year will be focused on new brand development and market launch activities in conjunction 
with growing our established distribution channels. As a result of this activity in the first half, we expect FY 2018 to 
be more second-half weighted.

In  summary,  the  Company  is  positioning  itself  to  deliver  sustainable  future  revenue  growth.  We  have  developed 
an agile corporate culture which is centred around delivering expectations and encouraging our highly commercial 
executive team to deliver value to shareholders. We look forward to sharing this exciting journey and of delivering 
value to our shareholders.

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Finance Director’s Review 

Overview

The Group has delivered a strong profit result on the back of significant sales growth in the UK with the Skinny Tan™ 
brand and the strategy of moving manufacturing from Australia to the UK, resulting in gross margin improvements. 
Group revenues grew 105.8% to £8.858m (FY2016: £4.305m) with the growth in the popularity of the Skinny Tan™ 
brand in the UK reaching across the DTC and retail channels. Profit before tax of £1.029m was 325.2% up on the 
previous year (FY2016: £0.242m).

The  Group  has  increased  Net  Asset  value  to  £4.940m  as  at  30  June  2017.  Intangibles  increased  £1.639m 
principally as a result of the acquisitions of Ergon Medical, Stevie K™ and Charles + Lee™.

Operating results

The  Group’s  operating  profit  was  driven  by  strong  sales  and  a  significant  improvement  in  gross  margins.  Gross 
margins lifted 560 basis points to 63.0% (FY2016: 57.4%). The increase was primarily influenced by lower cost of 
manufacture coupled with lower shipping costs. As highlighted in our half year interim results, a substantial investment 
was focussed on building stock during the first half of this financial year, to facilitate the transfer of manufacturing 
from Australia to the UK and to provide adequate inventory for the forecasted expansion in to Superdrug. The full 
benefits of this investment were realised during the second half with lower manufacturing and shipping costs with a 
much reduced supply chain.

Underlying  operating  profit  was  driven  higher  with  the  combination  of  stronger  sales  and  improvements  in  gross 
margins. The result of £1.029m was 11.6% of revenue compared to the previous year of 5.6%. Overheads grew 
109.9%  to  £4.752m  (FY2016:  £2.264m)  however  the  ratio  to  sales  remained  consistent  at  53.6%  (FY2016: 
52.5%). There was a focused effort to resource the Company with experienced people capable of driving performance. 
This has resulted in an increase in personnel numbers in the UK and Australia. We are now in the position to see this 
investment realised over the coming year.

The key cost driver in the Company is marketing spend both in driving the Skinny Tan™ brand but also the introduction 
of new brands. Overall marketing spend increased 134.7% to £2.711m (FY2016: £1.155m). This was 30.6% of 
revenue (FY2016: 26.8%) which reflected the base investment in the UK market and the required further investment 
in the US and Australian DTC markets which are developing.

Other income of £0.205m was made up of the intercompany profit from internal inventory transfers of £0.140m, 
the payment of the Australian Export Marketing and Development Grant for £0.059m and a small reduction in our 
money back guarantee scheme for Leimo™.

Other Comprehensive income of -£0.158m has been recorded as a prior year foreign exchange translation adjustment 
on equity balances. This came as a result of the move from reporting in AUD ($A) to GBP (Pounds Sterling). This is a 
“one off “adjustment as the calculation readjusts to GBP all equity movements back to financial year 2015.

Cash and net debt

The Group has no external debt and has reduced related party loans outstanding. Cash and cash equivalents as at 
the 30 June 2017 were £0.207m (FY2016: £0.120m). Related party loans reduced by £0.217m to £0.405m 
(FY2016:  £0.622m).  Funding  of  the  business  was  enhanced  by  two  capital  raisings  in  November  and  December 
2016 which provided gross funds of £1.340m. As highlighted in our interim result announcements, these funds were 
targeted to assist in the manufacturing transition and market growth inventory build. Overall inventory has grown to 
£2.259m (FY2016: £0.638m) which comes as the Company meets the requirements of “in full/on time” deliveries 
to Superdrug. Furthermore, the Company is well placed to supply the growing markets of Ireland and the inventory 
requirements for other UK customers, Australia and the US markets. At the same time trade and other payables, 
excluding tax payables, have increased to £2.419m (FY2016: £1.443m).

9

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Strategic Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 30 June 2017

Taxation

A total tax expense of £0.340m has been charged against profit (FY2016: £0.064m). The Group has not recognised 
any deferred tax liability at this stage and as such no entry has been made in the annual accounts this year.

All corporate tax liabilities across the various geographical regimes have been accounted for.

Dividends

The Board has elected not to declare a dividend at this time.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The principal risks the Company faces relate to a) the regulatory requirements in each country to which it exports and 
b) cash flow. If those regulations change, the Company will need to quickly adapt its strategy to ensure compliance 
and facilitate continuing sales. At this stage, because Australia operates very stringent policies on all products, the 
Company does not view this as very likely to occur, but have nonetheless recognised the potential risk.

Cashflow is another principal risk as, while the Company is in its growth phase, working capital is under demand to 
fund the purchase and manufacture of stock in concert with trading terms to retail buyers. However, the Company 
has support from its shareholders for funding and is anticipating continued sales growth in the coming twelve months 
to drive the business forward.

Employees

In conjunction with our aforementioned plans to expand into the USA, it is expected that our staff will expand in the

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017 
Directors’ Report (continued)
For the Year Ended 30 June 2017

Carbon Emissions

The Group’s operations are in the sale of health and beauty products, in which carbon emissions are estimated to be 
negligible. The Directors do not consider it practicable to obtain this information at this time.

Social, Community & Human Rights issues

The Board are constantly monitoring the Group’s social & community impact, both for its own staff and the wider 
community  of  end-users  for  its  products.  The  Board  are  mindful  of  Human  Rights  issues  in  the  jurisdictions  its 
operates in, and aims to maintain the highest standards of care and conduct in all its relations to ensure InnovaDerma 
exceeds any required standard in this area.

Research and Development

The Group undertakes a variety of research activities into potential new products and new technologies that could 
form part of their future offerings to customers. The Group classifies all such spending as research and expenses 
the costs accordingly.

It is the view of the directors at this stage that the Group is unable to confirm the potential flow of benefits from new 
products until they arrive to market. Given that, it is not possible to capitalise these expenditures as development.

Financial Instruments

Information regarding the Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies, including exposure to market, 
credit and liquidity risks, are presented in Note 26 to these financial statements.

Capital Structure

At  30  June  2017,  the  ordinary  share  capital  of  InnovaDerma  PLC  consisted  of  12,569,556  shares,  valued  at 
EUR 0.10 each. There are no restrictions on the transfer of securities in the Company, and no restrictions on voting

The Group operates on a strictly ‘capital efficient’ approach and therefore directors’ remuneration has been based on 
conservative market matching rates in order to act in the best interest of the Company during the Company’s growth 
phase. At this time, outside of existing shareholdings, there are no performance components included in directors’ 
remuneration. A remuneration committee has been formed to oversee this aspect of the Group’s operations.

The committee is chaired by Mr Rodney Turner, and Mr Kieran Callan is the other participating member. All aspects 
of key management personnel remuneration are now overseen by the remuneration committee, including the new 
contracts which have been prepared for the Executive Directors.

The remuneration committee is undertaking a strategic review of the structure of director remuneration to ensure 
that the correct mix of fixed remuneration and performance-related incentives are provided, to maintain the Company’s 
competitiveness in the corporate marketplace.

Contracts

Directors’ remuneration in its various forms was historically agreed by the Executive Chairman, but is now overseen 
exclusively  by  the  remuneration  committee.  All  directors  are  provided  with  relevant  contracts  have  been  executed 
prior to the appointment.

Mr Chaudhry’s contract is continuous, until terminated by either party. Mr Chaudhry may terminate the contract by 
giving twenty weeks’ notice, in writing.

Mr Bayer’s contract is continuous, until terminated by either party. Mr Bayer may terminate the contract by giving 
twelve weeks’ notice, in writing.

All other directors’ contracts are for a fixed term of three years.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2017

Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report and the financial statements 
in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year or period. Under that law 
the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and 
those International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union. Under company law, 
the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view 
of the state of affairs of the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial 
statements, the Directors are required to:

•  select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

•  make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

•  state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European 

Union;

•  prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the Group will 

continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the 
Group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and enable 
them  to  ensure  that  the  financial  statements  comply  with  the  Companies  Act  2006  and,  as  regards  the  Group’s 
financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the 
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on 
the Group’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial 
statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Directors’ statement as to disclosure of information to the auditor

The Directors at the date of approval of this report confirm that:

• 

• 

to the best of their knowledge and belief, there is no relevant audit information of which the Group’s auditor is 
unaware; and

the Directors have taken all the steps that that might reasonably be expected to have taken as a Director in order 
to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group’s auditor is aware of 
that information.

and, as regards the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.

Whom we are reporting to

This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the 
Companies  Act  2006.  Our  audit  work  has  been  undertaken  so  that  we  might  state  to  the  Company’s  members 
those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent 
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s 
members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

What we have audited

The financial report of InnovaDerma PLC for the year ended 30 June 2017, which comprises the following statements:

•  Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income,

•  Consolidated Statement of Financial Position,

•  Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity,

•  Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows,

•  Parent Company Statement of Changes in Equity, and

•  All related notes to the above.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Group and parent company financial 
statements is applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

Overview of Audit Approach

We identified the key audit risks to be revenue recognition, change of presentation currency, and possible impairment 
of intangible assets.

We set materiality for the Group at 1% of revenue: £88,580.

We performed full scope audit procedures over all Group entities at the head office in Melbourne, Australia.

Our Assessment of Risks of Material Misstatement

The assessed risks of material misstatement described below are those that had the greatest effect on our audit 
strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit and directing the efforts of the engagement team.

15

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Report of the Independent Auditor to the Members
of Innovaderma PLC (continued)
For the Year Ended 30 June 2017

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Risk Description

InnovaDerma,  as  a  Group,  generates  revenues  from  sales  of  various  health  and  beauty 
products, including the Skinny Tan and Leimo lines.

The method for recognising revenue varies depending on the type of sale being made:

–  Direct to customer sales

 These sales are made via the internet, and the sale is recognised at the point of purchase, 
as the customer has paid and accepted responsibility for the purchase of the good.

–  Retail & Wholesale sales

 These sales are recognised at the date the stock is segregated from other inventory, 
ready for collection or delivery in accordance with these customers terms of trade.

There  is  are  risks  around  the  timing  of  revenue  recognition  of  product  sales,  particularly 
focused  on  the  contractual  terms  of  delivery  and  location  of  sale.  In  addition,  due  to  the 
volume of transactions in the year, and the different types of revenue, we have identified 
revenue recognition as a key risk for our audit.

The Group’s revenue recognition policy is disclosed in note 1.5.

How the scope of our 
audit responded to the 
risk

Our audit work assessed the design and implementation of controls over the recognition of 
revenue. We tested, in detail, a sample of completed orders around the year end date, with 
specific focus on recognition conditions for revenue.

We  assessed  the  transfer  of  risk  and  reward  to  the  customer  by  reviewing  dates  of 
transaction completion on Shopify (the Group’s online shopping portal), and dates of stock 
segregation and dispatch for retail and wholesale sales.

Key  Observations:  We  noted  no  material  instances  of  inappropriate  revenue  recognition 
arising in our testing.

CHANGE OF PRESENTATION CURRENCY

Risk Description

The Group decided to change its functional and reporting currency from Australian Dollars 
(“AUD”) to British Pounds Sterling (”GBP”) from 1 July 2016.

The  Group  completed  this  change  with  reference  to  IAS  21  The Effects of Changes in 
Foreign Exchange Rates and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates 
and Errors, to calculate the appropriate opening balances and effects on historical balances.

We  identified  this  as  a  key  risk  because  of  the  substantive  effect  of  the  change  on  all 
balances within the financial statements, and the further impact on comparability in relation 
to figures from the prior year.

The Group’s accounting policy regarding the change in presentation currency is disclosed in 
note 1.4.

We  obtained  year  end  foreign  exchange  rates  from  third  party  sources  to  ensure  that 
management has used the correct and appropriate rates in their calculations;

We  obtained  the  Group’s  change  of  functional  and  reporting  currency  calculations  and 
checked  the  application  of  IAS  21  in  the  translations  performed,  to  ensure  the  balances 
were calculated correctly;

We evaluated management’s approach on this subject with reference to a wide range of 
industry examples, to ensure the application and interpretation of IAS 21 was comparable 
to other industry entities.

Key Observations: We concluded that the method applied by management is in accordance 
with the requirements of IAS 21 and IAS 8.

How the scope of our 
audit responded to the 
risk

16

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017 
 
IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Risk Description

Management are required to assess the carrying value of intangible assets and perform an 
impairment review under IAS 36 Impairment of Assets on an annual basis and whenever an 
indication of impairment exists.

At  30  June  2017,  the  net  book  value  of  intangible  assets  was  £3.645m,  incorporating 
goodwill from the acquisition of subsidiaries, as well as brands purchased and new products 
developed internally.

Assessment of the carrying value of capitalised development costs and possible impairment 
is a key risk due to the quantum of the balance recorded on the Group balance sheet, and 
the number and complexity of judgements involved in assessing the impairment.

How the scope of our 
audit responded to the 
risk

We obtained management’s impairment review models covering key capitalised development 
costs. We determined that, of the assumptions underpinning the models, the key assumption 
was the short-term forecast cash flow projections applied.

We focused our assessment on the goodwill arising from the acquisition of InnovaDerma 
AUS  &  NZ  Pty  Ltd,  whose  brand  was  showing  indicators  of  potential  impairment  during 
the year. We obtained from management, and evaluated in detail, value in use calculations 
showing future sales of associated product lines.

Key Observations: We concluded that the assumptions applied in the impairment models 
were appropriate and no impairments were identified from the work performed.

Our application of materiality and an overview of the scope of our audit

Materiality

We define materiality as the magnitude of a misstatement in the financial statements that makes it probable that 
the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced. We use materiality in 
determining the nature, timing and extent of our audit work and in evaluating the results of that work. We determined 
materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole to be £88,850, which represents 1% of the Group’s revenue 
for the year ended 30 June 2017.

This benchmark is considered the most appropriate because this is a key performance measure used by the Board 
of Directors to report to investors on the financial performance of the Group.

Materiality  for  the  current  year  is  higher  than  the  level  that  we  determined  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2016, 
reflecting the increase in the Group’s revenues during the year to 30 June 2017.

We use a different level of materiality, performance materiality, to drive the extent of our testing and this was set at 
75% of financial statement materiality for the audit of the Group financial statements. We also determine a lower level 
of specific materiality for certain areas such as Directors’ remuneration and related party transactions.

We agreed with the Board that we would report all audit differences in excess of £4,440, as well as differences below 
that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also report to the Audit Committee 
on disclosure matters that we identified when assessing the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Overview of the scope of our audit

A description of the generic scope of an audit of financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s 
website at www.frc.org.uk/auditscopeprivate. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on 
Auditing (ISAs) (UK and Ireland). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Responsibilities 
for the financial statements and the audit’ section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for auditors, 
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those Ethical Standards.

17

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Report of the Independent Auditor to the Members
of Innovaderma PLC (continued)
For the Year Ended 30 June 2017

The Group has operations in the UK, the USA, Australia, and the Philippines, but all are managed by the Group’s 
management,  which  operates  from  Melbourne.  Through  our  procedures,  all  Group  entities  were  subjected  to  a 
comprehensive audit approach. Our audit approach was based on a thorough understanding of the Group’s business 
and is risk based, and in particular included:

•  undertaking interim procedures before the year end date to evaluate the Group’s internal control environment, 

including IT systems and controls;

•  at this visit, we performed an evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls over key financial statement risk 
identified  as  part  of  our  risk  assessment,  reviewed  the  accounts  production  process  and  performed  certain 
transactional procedures for the first nine months of the year in advance of the year end;

•  at the final audit visit, we undertook substantive testing on significant transactions, balances and disclosures, the 
extent of which was based on various factors such as our overall assessment of the control environment, the 
effectiveness of controls over individual systems and the management of specific risks; and

• 

the scope of the current year audit has remained consistent with the scope of that of the prior year.

Opinion on Other Matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

Our opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 are unmodified. In our opinion, the part of the 
Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 
2006.

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

• 

• 

the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the 
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the  Strategic  Report  and  the  Report  of  the  Directors  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  applicable  legal 
requirements.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and Parent Company and its environment obtained in 
the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the 
Directors.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:

•  adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have 

not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• 

the parent company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited are 
not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

•  certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

•  we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Under the Listing Rules, we are required to review:

• 

• 

the Directors’ statements in relation to going concern and longer-term viability, set out on pages 25 and 28; and

the part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the Company’s compliance with the provisions of the 
UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review.

Under the ISAs (UK and Ireland), we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, information in the annual report is:

•  materially inconsistent with the information in the audited financial statements; or

•  apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, our knowledge of the Group acquired in 

the course of performing our audit; or

•  otherwise misleading.

18

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017In particular, we are required to report to you if:

•  we  have  identified  any  inconsistencies  between  our  knowledge  acquired  during  the  audit  and  the  Directors’ 

statement that they consider the annual report is fair, balanced and understandable; or

• 

the annual report does not appropriately disclose those matters that were communicated to the Audit Committee 
which we consider should have been disclosed.

We have nothing to report in respect of any of the above matters.

We also confirm that we do not have anything material to add or to draw attention to in relation to:

• 

• 

• 

• 

the Directors’ confirmation in the annual report that they have carried out a robust assessment of the principal 
risks facing the Group including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or 
liquidity;

the  disclosures  in  the  annual  report  that  describe  those  risks  and  explain  how  they  are  being  managed  or 
mitigated;

the Directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether they have considered it appropriate to adopt 
the going concern basis of accounting in preparing them, and their identification of any material uncertainties to 
the Group’s ability to continue to do so over a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the 
financial statements; and

the Directors’ explanation in the annual report as to how they have assessed the prospects of the Group, over 
what period they have done so and why they consider that period to be appropriate, and their statement as to 
whether they have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its 
liabilities as they fall due over the period of their assessment, including any related disclosures drawing attention 
to any necessary qualifications or assumptions.

Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit

What the Directors are responsible for:

As  explained  more  fully  in  the  Statement  of  Directors’  Responsibilities  set  out  on  pages  13-14,  the  Directors  are 
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view.

What we are responsible for:

Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law 
and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing 
Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 20171. 

Accounting Policies

1.1  Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards  (IFRS)  as  adopted  by  the  European  Union  and  with  those  parts  of  the  Companies  Act  2006 
applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The consolidated financial statements are drawn up under the 
historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of financial assets.

IFRS,  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (IASB)  set  out  accounting  policies  that  the 
IASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about 
transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated 
financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

1.2  Going Concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal 
business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

1.3  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by 
InnovaDerma PLC at 30 June 2017. A controlled entity is any entity over which InnovaDerma PLC has the 
power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intragroup balances and transactions between entities 
in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.

Business Combinations

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

A  business  combination  is  accounted  for  by  applying  the  acquisition  method,  unless  it  is  a  combination 
involving  entities  or  businesses  under  common  control.  The  business  combination  will  be  accounted  for 
from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities 
(including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exceptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting 
from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent 
consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within 
equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to 
fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified 
as existing at acquisition date.

All  transaction  costs  incurred  in  relation  to  business  combinations  are  expensed  to  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from 
a bargain purchase.

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of 
the sum of:

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

the consideration transferred;

 any  non-controlling  interest  (determined  under  either  the  full  goodwill  or  proportionate  interest 
method); and

 the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest; over the acquisition date fair value 
of net identifiable assets acquired.

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets.

26

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial StatementsFor the Year Ended 30 June 2017Goodwill  is  tested  for  impairment  annually  and  is  allocated  to  the  Parent  Company’s  cash-generating  units 
or groups of cash-generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored being not 
larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount 
of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.

Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as 
equity transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill.

Non-controlling interests

The interest of non-controlling shareholders in subsidiary companies (holdings of greater than 0%, but less 
than 50%), are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent results of the subsidiary are apportioned to the 
non-controlling interests in proportion to their shareholding.

1.4 

Foreign Currencies

Functional and presentation currency

An  entity’s  functional  currency  is  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  it  operates. 
Since incorporation, InnovaDerma PLC has had global operations, with its trading subsidiaries using different 
functional currencies including British pounds, Australian dollars, and United States dollars, reflective of their 
local operating environments.

At  1  July  2016,  the  directors  reviewed  the  Group’s  spread  of  economic  activity  in  its  different  functional 
currencies, and decided to change the presentation currency of the Group from Australian Dollars to British 
Pounds. The directors believe this will better reflect the levels of activity within the Group, as well as enhance 
comparability with its industry peer group. The change in presentation currency represents a voluntary change 
in accounting policy and has been applied retrospectively.

To  give  effect  to  the  change  in  presentation  currency,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  Group,  which  were 
presented in Australian dollars as at 30 June 2016, were converted into British pounds at a fixed exchange 
rate  on  1  July  2016  of  A$1:  £0.5763  and  the  contributed  equity,  reserves  and  retained  earnings  were 
converted at applicable historical rates.

The Australian dollar assets and liabilities at 1 July 2015 were converted at the rate of A$1: £0.5085 in 
order to derive British pound opening balances. Revenue and expenses for the twelve months ended 30 June 
2016 were converted at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction to the extent practicable 
(at an average of A$1: £0.5117 for the reporting period), and equity balances were converted at applicable 
historical rates.

The  above  stated  procedures  resulted  in  the  recognition  of  a  foreign  currency  translation  reserve  of 
(£158,726) on 1 July 2016, as set out in the statement of changes in equity.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing 
at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate 
existing  at  the  reporting  date.  Exchange  differences  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income in the period in which they arise.

1.5  Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts 
receivable for goods supplied, stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes. The Group recognises 
revenue  when  the  amount  of  revenue  can  be  reliably  measured;  when  it  is  probable  that  future  economic 
benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities, as 
described below. The Group bases its estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the 
type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

27

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Sales of goods – retail

The Group manufactures and sells a range of health and beauty products for sale to the retail market. Sales 
of goods are recognised when an order is executed and stock is segregated from the Group’s inventory, ready 
for collection in accordance with that customer’s terms of trade.

The  life  science  products  are  often  sold  with  volume  discounts;  customers  have  a  right  to  return  faulty 
products in the wholesale market. Sales are recorded based on the price specified in the sales contracts, 
net of the estimated volume discounts and returns at the time of sale. Accumulated experience is used to 
estimate and provide for the discounts and returns. The volume discounts are assessed based on anticipated 
annual purchases.

Internet revenue

Revenue from the provision of the sale of goods on the internet is recognised as at the date that payment is 
received, because that is the point the buyer accepts legal responsibility for the good being sold. Transactions 
are settled by credit or payment card.

1.6 

Finance income

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

1.7 

Intangible Assets

Brands

Externally  acquired  brands,  where  identifiable,  are  capitalised  as  assets  of  the  Group.  Brands  are  initially 
capitalised at historical cost, or attributable value, when acquired as part of a business combination.

Brands have a limited legal life; however, the Group monitors global expiry dates and renews registrations 
where  required.  Brands  recorded  in  the  financial  statements  are  not  currently  associated  with  products 
which are likely to become commercially or technically obsolete. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view 
that brands have an indefinite life.

Brands are tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment charges.

1.8 

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may 
be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information. If 
such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount 
of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying 
amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately 
in  profit  or  loss,  unless  the  asset  is  carried  at  a  revalued  amount  in  accordance  with  another  Standard. 
Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other 
Standard.

1.9  Research and Development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development 
costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future 
economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Capitalised development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the 
future economic benefits over the useful life of the project. At this stage, the useful life of the project has not 
been determined as development is incomplete, hence amortization has not commenced.

1.10  Cash & Cash Equivalents

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at 
call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and 

28

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the Year Ended 30 June 2017bank overdrafts. In the consolidated balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current 
liabilities.

1.11  Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first- in, first-
out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises design costs, raw materials, 
direct  labour,  other  direct  costs  and  related  production  overheads  (based  on  normal  operating  capacity). 
It  excludes  borrowing  costs.  Net  realisable  value  is  the  estimated  selling  price  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Costs of inventories include the transfer from equity of any 
gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges for purchases of raw materials.

1.12  Trade Receivables

Trade  receivables  are  amounts  due  from  customers  for  merchandise  sold  or  services  performed  in  the 
ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of 
the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

1.13  Trade Payables

Trade and other payables are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting 
from  the  purchase  of  goods  and  services.  They  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  at 
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Current liabilities represent those amounts falling 
due within one year.

1.14  Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable and payable. The net amount 
of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with the receivables or payables in the statement 
of financial position.

1.15  Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently 
carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption 
value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest 
method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent 
that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the 
draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be 
drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the 
facility to which it relates.

1.16  Income Tax

Income  tax  expense  or  benefit  represents  the  sum  of  current  corporation  tax  payable  and  provision  for 
deferred income taxes.

Current income tax payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as 
reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are 
taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The 
Group’s liability for current corporation tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted at the period-end date.

29

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the 
date of the statement of financial position where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will 
result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax, with the following exceptions:

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  only  to  the  extent  that  the  Directors  consider  that  it  is  probable  that 
there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can 
be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods 
in  which  timing  differences  reverse,  based  on  tax  rates  and  laws  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  at  the 
period-end date.

1.17  Post Retirement Benefits

For salaries paid (all by the Australian subsidiary):

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate 
entity. Superannuation – the Australian defined contribution pension scheme – is mandated by Australian law 
and presently set at 9.5% of gross salary payable to an employee.

The Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory 
basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions 
are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.

1.18  Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments 
are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit 
or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) 
is recognised directly in equity.

1.19  Segment Reporting

The operating segments were reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief 
operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and 
assessing performance of the operating segment, has been identified as the board of directors, which has 
overall control for strategic decisions.

1.20  Estimates and Judgements

The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgements  incorporated  into  the  financial  statements  based  on 
historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation or 
future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the 
Group.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group 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 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.

30

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)For the Year Ended 30 June 2017Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The  Group  tests  annually,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  impairment, 
whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with 
the accounting policies described in Note 1.6 and Note 1.7. The recoverable amounts of cash- generating units 
(required to determine fair value less costs to sell) have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current 
cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.

1.21  New accounting standards for application in future periods

(a) 

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

 There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial period 
beginning on 1 July 2016 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

(b) 

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

 A  number  of  new  standards  and  amendments  to  standards  and  interpretations  are  effective  for 
annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  July  2017,  and  have  not  been  applied  in  preparing  these 
consolidated  financial  statements.  None  of  these  is  expected  to  have  a  significant  effect  on  the 
financial statements of the Group, except the following set out below:

 IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial 
assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that 
relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets 
to be classified into two measurement categories:

1)   those measured as at fair value and 2) those measured at amortised cost. The determination is 

made at initial recognition.

The  classification  depends  on  the  entity’s  business  model  for  managing  its  financial  instruments  and  the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of 
the IAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial 
liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive 
income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The Group is yet to 
assess IFRS 9’s full impact. The Group will also consider the impact of the remaining phases of IFRS 9 when 
completed by the Board.

2. 

Parent Information

Guarantees

InnovaDerma PLC has not entered into any guarantees, in the financial period, in relation of the debts of its 
subsidiary.

18.  Merger reserve

InnovaDerma  PLC  acquired  100%  of  the  share  capital  of  InnovaDerma  AUS  &  NZ  Pty  Ltd,  InnovaDerma 
International Limited, InnovaDerma NZ Limited, and ID Philippines, Inc, on 28 November 2014.

These transactions are noted as being completed under common control – all companies involved in the deal 
were controlled by Mr Haris Chaudhry before and after the transaction was processed.

This condition falls under a scope exemption for IFRS 3. Per IAS 8.12, the Company may, in this circumstance, 
utilise pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop 
accounting standards.

As a UK company, the directors decided to apply UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which make 
provision  for  Pooling  of  Interests  in  a  common  control  situation,  also  commonly  referred  to  as  Merger 
Accounting.

In this circumstance, the difference between the consideration transferred and the nominal value of share 
capital acquired is taken to equity, creating a Merger Reserve.

Fair value versus carrying amounts

All items shown in the preceding table as either financial assets or financial liabilities are short term instruments 
whose  carrying  value  is  equivalent  to  the  fair  value.  There  is  not  considered  to  be  a  material  difference 
between the fair value and the carrying value.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The Group’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks that include market risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk.

(a) 

Market Risk

i) 

Foreign exchange risk

 The Group does not hold any material financial assets denominated in a foreign currency at 
the period end, hence it is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

ii) 

Interest rate risk

 The  Group  had  interest-bearing  liabilities  during  the  period,  but  is  not  exposed  to  interest 
rate risk because the interest rates on their liabilities are set by private agreement, not by 
reference to market rates. The Group does not have any liabilities to financial institutions as 
at 30 June 2017. As such, sensitivity analysis with regard to movements in interest rates 
would not be meaningful.

(b) 

Credit risk

 Exposure  to  credit  risk  relating  to  financial  assets  arises  from  the  potential  non-performance  of 
counter- parties of contract obligations that could lead to financial losses to the Group.

Credit risk exposures

The Group had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

(c) 

Liquidity risk

 Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or 
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through 

41

INNOVADERMA PLC Annual Report 2017 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
careful cash management policies. In order to meet its short term obligations, the Group has the 
support of several key shareholders who are willing to provide funds to the Group on an as-needed 
basis.

 For loans receivable and payable, please refer to Note 9 – Trade and Other Receivables, Note 14 – 
Trade and Other Payables & Note 15 - Borrowings. Loans are unsecured and have no fixed repayment 
date.

27.  Share Based Payments

No share options have been granted to employees or directors during the current or preceding financial year.

28. 

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by 
the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

The following reflects earnings and share data used in the earnings per share calculation.

Profit/(loss) for the year
