CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Invex Therapeutics Ltd
(Invex, the Company) and its controlled entity
(Group), I am pleased to present the Invex Annual
Report to shareholders for the year ended 30 June
2022 (FY22).
During FY22 Invex has been very focussed on
completing the necessary clinical, regulatory and
manufacturing requirements in order to commence
a single Phase III clinical trial (IIH EVOLVE) of a once
per week formulation of Exenatide – Presendin™ – for
the treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
(IIH). We have made excellent progress during FY22
and will be in a position to recruit patients across
the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, the United
States (US), Europe, New Zealand and Israel in FY23.
Our aim is to secure initial regulatory approval for
Presendin™ in the major markets of European Union
(EU), the UK and Australia.
IIH is a chronic condition that develops
predominately in obese women of child bearing
age, where intracranial pressure (ICP) in the brain
elevates siginficantly, resulting in disabling daily
headaches and in some cases permanent vision loss.
There are currently no European Medicines Agency
(EMA) and US Food and Drug Adminsitration (FDA)
treatments approved for IIH. Hence, there is an
urgent need to develop new drug treatments for
these patients, who suffer from significant quality of
life effects with IIH patients often requring multiple
hospital admissions, representing a large cost to the
healthcare system.
The economic cost of IIH is very significant. For
example, the annual cost of IIH to the health system
in England has been calculated to be almost £500
million by 2030. In Scotland, the incidence of IIH has
increased to approximately 40 per 100,000 in obese
females. Invex estimates the IIH annual addressable
market in the US and EU/UK to be around A$1.6
billion, with a treatable patient population of
approximately 92,000 patients (based on prevalence
of the disease). Our approach seeks to ameliorate
elevated ICP and therefore prevent the downstream
impacts on these patients’ vision and headaches.
Long Term Manufacturing Partner
Secured – Peptron
In September 2021, Invex signed an exclusive long-
term Collaboration and Manufacturing Agreement
with Peptron, Inc. a biopharmaceutical company
developing sustained-release peptide-based
medicines based in Daejeon, Korea. Under the
terms of the agreement, Peptron will provide Invex
with access to its intellectual property, including
an extensive preclinical and clinical data package,
and GMP grade Presendin™ for all of its clinical
trials in IIH as well as for commercial use, once
Presendin™ is approved. The Agreement provides
a defined price per dose for the global supply of
Presendin™ for clinical studies and for the first ten
years following the first commercial sale. In addition,
Invex has granted Peptron an exclusive license to
commercialise Presendin™ for IIH in Korea.
In December, Invex successfully completed an
independent Qualified Person (QP) Audit of
Peptron’s manufacturing facility. A satisfactory
QP Audit and the subsequent certification of
manufactured batches of drug product by a QP
is a requirement under European Union (EU) and
UK law prior to importation of manufactured drug
product into the EU and or the UK for clinical
or commercial purposes. The completion of the
QP Audit of Peptron and one of Peptron’s key
suppliers of manufacturing material will facilitate the
importation of Presendin™ and placebo doses into
clinical sites in Europe and the UK participating in
Invex’s IIH EVOLVE Phase III clinical trial. Following
the successful QP audit, Invex placed an initial
purchase order with Peptron for supply of a clinical
batch of Presendin™ and placebo drug product for
the IIH EVOLVE Phase III clinical trial.
Completion of Clinical and Regulatory Strategy
Following multiple interactions with global regulators
and consultation with clinical advisory groups
Invex announced a strategy aimed at bringing
Presendin™ to market as quickly as possible
by focusing on meeting the requirements for
registration of Presendin™ in the EU, the UK and
Australia utilising a trial design based on advice
received from the European Medicines Agency
4
INVEX THERAPEUTICS LTD.
(EMA), the UK Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and US FDA. Data
from IIH EVOLVE will then be used to further
inform discussions with the US FDA regarding the
regulatory pathway for registration of Presendin™
in the US market. Accordingly, the Group’s
regulatory strategy will be sequential in nature in
order to maximise the commercial opportunity and
regulatory certainty.
Regulatory Submissions Seeking Approval
to Commence IIH EVOLVE Filed and Several
Approved
In December, Professor Michael Wall, MD was
appointed as the Trial Steering Group Chairperson
for the IIH EVOLVE Phase III clinical trial. Dr Wall
is a Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurology
at the University of Iowa College of Medicine and
Director of the Iowa Visual Field Reading Center. He
is a global key opinion leader in IIH having made a
significant contribution to the clinical and scientific
literature pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment and
management of this disease and has led a significant
number of important clinical trials in IIH.
IIH EVOLVE is a placebo-controlled, double-blind
trial that will randomise 240 patients with newly
diagnosed IIH to determine the efficacy and safety
of Presendin™ versus placebo, administered once
weekly over 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of
the trial is the change in intracranial pressure from
baseline with key secondary endpoints related to
vision and headache outcome measures. Invex
intends to open up to 40 clinical sites globally.
Information on the trial is available at clinicaltrials.
gov under Identifier NCT05347147.
In December 2021 Invex filed the first Human
Research Ethics Committee (HREC) dossier in
Australia seeking authorisation from an HREC
representing several private hospitals in Australia. In
parallel, Invex submitted a Clinical Trial Notification
(CTN) to the Therapeutic Goods Administration
(TGA). In early July, the Group secured HREC and
TGA approvals. Associate Professor Celia Chen,
Director at Vision SA, Consultant Ophthalmologist
at Flinders Medical Centre will be a Principal
Investigator for IIH EVOLVE in Australia.
“We have made excellent
progress during FY22
and will be in a position
to recruit patients across
the United Kingdom (UK),
Australia, the United States
(US), Europe, New Zealand
and Israel in FY23. Our aim
is to secure initial regulatory
approval for Presendin™
in the major markets of
European Union (EU), the
UK and Australia.”
Invex has commenced the initiation of Australian
IIH EVOLVE clinical trial sites and remains on track
to commence patient recruitment once separate
institutional authorisations are completed and study
drug/placebo is available on-site. Additionally, Invex
filed an additional separate HREC application for a
single public hospital in Australia.
During the year, the Group made the necessary
regulatory submissions to the UK MHRA through a
Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA). In late June 2022,
Invex received notification the MHRA had approved
the Group’s CTA to commence the IIH EVOLVE
Phase III clinical trial in the UK, for patients with IIH. In
addition, Invex received a favourable ethical opinion
from a Research Ethics Committee (REC), which is
also a requirement prior to commencing the trial.
Invex also submitted its Investigational New Drug
(IND) Application to the US FDA with the IND
subsequently granted as announced to ASX on
19 August 2022.
Invex has now received approvals to proceed
with the IIH EVOLVE study from a number of key
regulatory agencies and while this has been a major
undertaking for the Group during the last financial
year, Invex is now in a strong position to commence
patient recruitment in the second half of the 2022
calendar year.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022“The Group is effectively
structured utilising a global
virtual business model, with
a small number of highly
experienced executives and
employees based in the UK
utilising additional expertise
from clinical, regulatory and
manufacturing consultants,
as required, to progress our
clinical program in Australia,
the UK, Europe and the
United States.”
Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property (IP) is key to Invex’s business.
Our orphan drug designations for Exenatide in IIH in
both the US and Europe provides Invex with seven
and ten years market exclusivity, respectively, upon
regulatory clearance being granted. These orphan
designations were secured from the FDA and EMA
in 2017. Invex continued to make solid progress in
expanding its patent and other intellectual property
protection for Exenatide in pressure related
disorders of the brain, including IIH, as well as the
Company’s trademark, Presendin™.
During the year, the European Patent Office notified
Invex on the intention to grant the Company a
European patent, designated patent number
EP3188747 and titled “Elevated Intracranial Pressure
Treatment.” The patent was subsequently published
on 8 September 2021. As with the Company’s
issued US patent, this additional European patent
covers the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists, including
Exenatide, in reducing elevated ICP associated with
IIH, with the patent providing protection until at least
August 2035. The granting of this patent for Europe,
alongside the Company’s issued patents in other
major markets including the US and Japan provides
broad IP protection as Invex progresses its clinical
development plans for Presendin™.
6
COVID-19
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continued
to persist throughout the 2022 financial year,
particularly in the first half, although country-wide
lockdowns were avoided in the United Kingdom and
elsewhere during the year. COVID-19 did not exhibit
any significant adverse impact on the Group during
the 2022 financial year, although, the Company did
note some delays in completing a number of lead-in
activities related to the IIH EVOLVE clinical trial as
they related to manufacturing, assay development
and regulatory turnaround times. The pandemic has
also affected the Group’s ability to hold in-person
negotiations with the Group’s manufacturing partner
Peptron Inc. and limited travel for Group consultants
and staff, which has been largely mitigated through
the use of virtual meeting platforms.
Financials
The Group recorded a net loss after tax of $3.950
million for the year ended 30 June 2022 (FY22), an
increase of 73% on the prior corresponding period
(pcp). This was largely due to higher R&D costs
of $2.642 million (FY21: $1.139 million), reflecting
the necessary regulatory and clinical expenditure
required to commence the IIH EVOLVE study, along
with product manfuacturing costs of $0.327 million
(FY21: NIL) associated with the purchase of drug
product (Presendin™) and placebo from Peptron. In
addition share-based payment expenses of $0.352
million (FY21: $0.562 million). The Group continued
to prudently manage its cash reserves during the
year, with an overall cash burn from operations for
the 2022 financial year of $3.377 million (FY21: $1.678
million), including corporate and administrative
overheads of $0.9 million (FY21: $0.74 million).
Importantly, the Group is effectively structured utilising
a global virtual business model, with a small number
of highly experienced executives and employees
based in the UK utilising additional expertise from
clinical, regulatory and manufacturing consultants,
as required, to progress our clinical program in
Australia, the UK, Europe and the United States.
INVEX THERAPEUTICS LTD.The Group remains in a strong financial position with
cash and cash equivalents of $29.339 million as at 30
June 2022 (FY21: $32.777 million), which is sufficient
to complete a Phase III pivotal trial for Presendin™ for
registration purposes in IIH.
Corporate Governance & Diversity
There were no changes to the Board composition
during the year. We were pleased to complete new
agreements for Executive Directors, which included
Professor Sinclair increasing her time commitment
to the Group as a part-time employee. Professor
Sinclair continues to provide expert input into the
execution of the Group’s Phase III clinical trial and in
the assessment of potential new clinical indications
by leveraging Invex’s core strength in the treatment
of pressure-related brain disorders with GLP-1
receptor agonists such as Presendin™ with academic
centres of excellence.
During the year, the Board updated its Skills Matrix,
which highlighted the Board currently has most of
the appropriate skills and knowledge, experience
and diversity required for a company of its size.
In addition, the Board undertook a performance
evaluation review relating to the scope and structure
of Board meetings, compliance, risk management
and strategy. The review has provided the Board with
some areas for improvement; however, there were no
notable areas of material concern for the Board.
Invex makes a significant commitment to diversity,
by understanding all people are created differently
and by accepting and respecting different points of
views and leveraging them to learn from one another.
Our small team has demonstrated an exceptional
willingness to collaborate, engage and execute. Female
representation at the Board level was 40%. Excluding
the Executive Directors, 100% of Invex employees
are female. Inclusive of Executive Directors, the
representation is 83% female and 17% male.
Concluding Remarks
On behalf of the Board I would like to thank our
employees, advisors and consultants for their
significant efforts in advancing the IIH EVOLVE
study and in particular for achieving approvals from
key regulatory bodies such as the FDA, MHRA and
TGA as well as for the overall solid progress we have
made during the year. As Chairman, I fully appreciate
that timelines in the drug development sector can
seem long and arduous; however, we certainly
thank shareholders for their support of the Group
to date. Our aim is to build significant value for all
shareholders, through careful clinical planning and
execution to provide Presendin™ with every chance
of clinical and commercial success.
We are certainly excited by what the 2023 financial
year holds for Invex shareholders and we look
forward to keeping you apprised of our progress.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
Invex is a biopharmaceutical Group focused on the repurposing of an already approved drug, Exenatide,
for efficacious treatment of neurological conditions derived from or involving raised intracranial pressure
(ICP). The Group’s primary focus is Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), a severe condition of
predominately overweight women of childbearing age, which can lead to disabling headaches and in some
patients, permanent vision loss. The Group’s lead program is the development of Presendin™ for IIH, which
is currently at Phase III clinical stage.
Presendin™ is a once per week, subcutaneous, sustained-release (SR) Exenatide microsphere formulation
originally developed by Peptron, Inc. (KOSDAQ: 087010). Invex completed a Phase II trial in 2020 and
expects to commence a single, Phase III clinical trial (“IIH EVOLVE”) designed to meet the requirements for
market approval of Presendin™ for the treatment of IIH in the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK)
and Australia during 2022.
Presendin™ is the Group’s filed (and granted) trademark name for reformulated Exenatide.
The principal activity of the Group during the period has been to plan and prepare to commence the
Phase III IIH EVOLVE clinical trial.
OPERATING RESULTS
The result of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2022 was a loss of $3,950,183 (2021: $2,288,595 loss).
The net loss of the Group predominantly related to Research & Development costs of $2,962,596 associated
with the planning of the Phase III clinical trial, intellectual property prosecution, manufacturing costs and
regulatory advice, administration and corporate costs of $900,286 and non-cash items; notably share-
based payments of $352,390.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Group is well funded to meet its medium-term objectives, including the completion of a Phase III trial
for Presendin™ in IIH, with the associated drug manufacture and supply for the Phase III trial. In addition, the
Group may consider the commencement of a small Phase II study for Presendin™ in a second patient group.
FY22 highlights include:
• Granted key European patent for Exenatide
• Execution of an exclusive long-term Collaboration and Manufacturing Agreement with Peptron, Inc
• Completion of regulatory and clinical reviews – targeting single Phase III clinical trial for Presendin™
• Scientific presentations at leading neuro ophthalmology conferences in Europe and the US
• Successful completion of Qualified Person (QP) audit of Peptron
• First commercial order of Presendin™ for clinical trial purposes from Peptron
• Regulatory submissions for IIH EVOLVE clinical trial in Australia, UK, US and Europe completed
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
The Group has undertaken a significant amount of clinical and regulatory preparative work during FY22 and
anticipates the commencement of the Phase III IIH EVOLVE clinical trial across a number of countries in the
second half of the 2022 calendar year.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND INDEMNITIES
Invex paid a premium to insure the directors and secretary of the Group.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that
may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the Group, and any other
payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings. This does
not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the
improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for them or someone else
or to cause detriment to the Group. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating
to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE GROUP
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring
proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party, for
the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.
No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Group with leave of the Court under
section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The Group may decide to employ its auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where
the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Group is important.
During the year, other services were performed in addition to their statutory duties. The details of the
amount paid are disclosed in Note 20 of the consolidated financial report.
AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

REMUNERATION POLICIES
The Board has not elected to establish a remuneration committee. Given the size of the current Board
remuneration matters will be considered and approved by the full Board.
The following items will be considered and discussed as deemed necessary at the Board meetings:
• recommend the terms and conditions of employment for the Executive Directors and Senior Officers;
• undertake a review of the Executive Directors’ performance, at least annually, including setting with the
Executive Directors goals for the coming year and reviewing progress in achieving those goals;
• consider and report on the recommendations of the Executive Directors on the remuneration of all direct
reports; and
• develop and facilitate a process for Board and Director evaluation.
Non-executive Director’s remuneration
The compensation of Non-executive Directors is based on market practice, Director’s duties and the level of
accountability. The compensation policy is designed to attract and retain competent and suitably qualified
Non-executive Directors and aims to align Director’s interests with interests of shareholders. Non-executive
Directors fees are paid a set fee plus statutory superannuation where appropriate, and are reimbursed for
out-of-pocket expenses.
The Chair’s fees are determined independently to the fees of Non-executive Directors based on
comparative roles in the external market.
The base fees are reviewed annually and were last reviewed at a recent Board meeting. Non-executive
Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically
recommended for approval by shareholders. The current limit stands at $400,000 per annum and was
approved by shareholders at its Annual General Meeting of shareholders in November 2021.
A Director may also be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine if a Director performs special
duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director.
Executive remuneration
In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
• competitive and reasonable, enabling the company to attract and retain key talent;
• aligned to the company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value;
• transparent; and
• acceptable to shareholders.
13
ANNUAL REPORT 2022DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)The executive remuneration framework has three components:
•
fixed annual compensation comprising salary or fees and benefits, including superannuation;
• short-term performance incentives; and
•
long-term incentives through participation in the Invex Employee Share Option Plan.
Fixed annual compensation
Executives receive their base salary/fees and benefits structured as a total employment cost (TEC) package
which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executives’
discretion.
Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards.
Independent remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the
market for a comparable role.
Base pay for executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the market.
An executive’s pay is also reviewed on promotion.
There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any executives’ contracts.
There are no short-term incentives outstanding.
No benefits other than noted above are paid to Directors or management except as incurred in normal
operations of the business.
Short term incentives
No benefits other than remuneration disclosed in the remuneration report are paid to Directors or
management except as incurred in normal operations of the business.
Long term incentives
The Group’s current Employee Share Incentive Plan (ESIP) is designed to provide medium and long term
incentives for all employees (including Non-executive and Executive Directors) and to attract and retain
experienced Employees, Board Members and Executive Officers and provide motivation to make the Group
more successful.
As incentive securities granted to Directors and Employees are considered to represent the value of the
services received over the vesting period of the incentive security, the assessed value of the options are
recognised and expensed over the vesting period. Incentive securities vesting during the period of issue are
fully expensed under the accounting standards.
Other than incentive securities disclosed in the remuneration report there have been no options issued to
Directors at the date of this financial report.
Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM)
At the 2021 AGM, 96.8% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the
year ended 30 June 2021. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its
remuneration practices.
Remuneration consultants
The Group did not engage any remuneration consultants during the year.
The Group may engage independent remuneration consultants should it look to make any changes to
director fee levels to ensure they are in line with market conditions and any decisions are made free from
undue influence from members of the Group’s Key Management Personnel (KMP’s).
Service agreements
During the year the Company entered into revised agreements with Executives. Prof. Alexandra Sinclair
entered into an employment agreement on the 27 January 2022, commencing 1 March 2022. Dr Thomas

ANNUAL REPORT 2022DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONT.)
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Incentive Securities
The Company’s current Employee Incentive Plan (ESIP) was approved by Shareholders on 25 November
2021 and the previous Employee Incentive Option Plan (ESOP) was approved by the Board of Directors
on 20 May 2019. The Incentive Plans are designed to provide medium and long term incentives for all
employees (including Non-executive and Executive Directors) and to attract and retain experienced
employees, board members and executive officers and provide motivation to make the Company more
successful.
Under the ESIP, participants have not yet been granted incentive securities. Incentive securities only vest
if certain milestones are met. Participation in the plan is at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a
contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefit.
Any option may only be exercised after the option has vested and other conditions imposed by the Board
have been satisfied. Options were granted under the ESOP for no consideration. Options granted under
the ESOP carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of
options will be allotted following receipt of relevant documentation and payments will rank equally with all
other shares.
As options granted to employees are considered to represent the value of the services received over
the vesting period of the options, the assessed value of the options is recognised and expensed over
the vesting period. Options vesting during the period of issue are fully expensed under the accounting
standards.
During the year 30 June 2022 no incentive securities were granted, no options were cancelled and no
options were forfeited.
Details of the share-based component issued during the year included in the remuneration are set out
below.

INVEX THERAPEUTICS LTD. 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Invex Therapeutics Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia and is the parent
entity. Invex Therapeutics Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its controlled entity at the end of,
or during the year (together referred to as ‘the Group’) and were authorised for issue by the Board of
Directors.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in
a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies
adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied
unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified,
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and
financial liabilities.
2. NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting
period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.
3. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report,
have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
(a) 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 19.
(b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Invex
Therapeutics Ltd (Company or Invex) as at 30 June 2022 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then
ended. Invex Therapeutics Ltd and its subsidiary 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.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
25
ANNUAL REPORT 2022NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(c) Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Invex'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) Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is
on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The
CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when or as the Group transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the
amount at which the Group expects to be entitled. The following specific recognition criteria must also be
met before revenue is recognised:
Interest income
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method), which is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the
net carrying amount of the financial asset.
(f) Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument
has been impaired.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and on hand
and short-term deposits.
(h) Right-of-use asset
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.
26
INVEX THERAPEUTICS LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)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.
(i) Lease liability
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.
(j) 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 Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the
statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST components of
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(k) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and initially at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less loss allowance.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses lifetime
expected loss allowance for trade receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified.
(l) Trade and other Payables
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the
period end and which are unpaid. These amounts are unsecured, have 30-60 day payment terms and are
measured at amortised cost.
(m) 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.
27
ANNUAL REPORT 2022NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)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. 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.
•
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.
(n) Equity, reserves and dividend payments
Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated
with the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits.
Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends
have been approved in a General Meeting prior to the reporting date.
All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.
(o) Research and Development
Research expenditure is recognised as an expense is incurred.
Costs incurred on developments projects (relating to the development and testing of new or improved
products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering
its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs
can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalized comprises all directly attributable costs, including
costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development
expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs
previously recognised as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised
development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is
ready for use.
(p) Income Tax
Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian
Taxation Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods that are
unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the
financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the full liability method on temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided
on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related
transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these
temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the
foreseeable future.
28
INVEX THERAPEUTICS LTD. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to
apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the
end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised
against future taxable income, based on the Group’s forecast of future operating results which is adjusted
for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or
credit. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and intention to set off current
tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in
profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such
as the revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in
other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
(q) Impairment of assets
Non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-
in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount
rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have
independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset has been impaired. For financial assets measured at fair value, gains or losses will be recorded in profit
or loss, or through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) if the Group has made an irrevocable election at
the time of initial recognition to account for equity instruments through OCI.
(r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments Required
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future
events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has
had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to
the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in
which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently
appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties
with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the
reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Research and development expenditure
Distinguishing the research and development phases of a new customized project and determining whether
the recognition requirements for the capitalization of development costs are met requires judgement. The
Group has expensed all costs relating to research and development expenditure to date on the basis that
the capitalisation requirements have not been met.
The Group’s consideration of whether its internal projects to develop drugs are in a research phase or
development phase involves significant judgement.
29
ANNUAL REPORT 2022NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)The Group considers a project to be in a development phase when the following can be demonstrated:
• The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
• There is intention to complete the project;
• The existence of a market to be able to sell output resulting from the project;
• How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
• There is adequate technical, financial and other resources available to complete the development and to
use or sell the intangible asset; and
• Expenditure attributable to the project can be reliably measured.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model.

14. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, short-term deposits and trade payables.
The Group does not have any derivative instruments at 30 June 2022 and does not speculate in any
financial instruments.
Financial Risks
The activities of the Group expose it primarily to the financial risks of interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign
exchange risk and credit risk. The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and managing the
financial risks of the Group. The Company Secretary/CFO monitors these risks by the review and analysis of
monthly management accounts and other financial data.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from cash held on deposit by Australian Financial Institutions.
Cash held in term deposits is subject to prevailing variable interest rates and expose the Group to cash flow
interest rate risk.
The following table summarises interest rate risk for the Group.

The Group does not rely on the generation of interest on cash at bank to provide working capital and does
not consider the exposure to be material to the Group and have therefore not undertaken any further
analysis of exposure.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
Board of Directors manage liquidity risk by continually monitoring cash reserves and cashflow forecasts to
ensure that financial commitments can be met as and when they fall due.
The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use
of equity funding.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s cash at bank. The carrying
amount of the financial assets on the Statement of Financial Position represents the maximum credit
exposure.
All cash and cash equivalents are held with large reputable financial institutions within Australia and
therefore credit risk is considered minimal.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to
foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and
financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is
measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

Options granted to Directors and Employees for services
The Group’s current Employee Share Option Plan (ESIP) was approved by Shareholders on 25 November
2021. The previous Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) was approved by the Board of Directors on
20 May 2019 (Incentive Plans). The Incentive Plans are designed to provide medium and long term
incentives for all employees (including Non-executive and Executive Directors) and to attract and retain
experienced Employees, Board Members and Executive Officers and provide motivation to make the Group
more successful.
Under the previous ESOP, participants have been granted options which only vest if certain milestones
are met. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to
participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefit.
Any option may only be exercised after the option has vested and other conditions imposed by the board
have been satisfied. Options are granted under the ESOP for no consideration. Options granted under the
ESOP carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of
options will be allotted following receipt of relevant documentation and payments will rank equally with all
other shares.
As options granted to employees and directors are considered to represent the value of the services
received over the vesting period of the options, the assessed value of the options are recognised and
expensed over the vesting period. Options vesting during the year of issue are fully expensed under the
accounting standards. There were no new incentive securities granted during the financial year. The total
Directors and Employee Options expense for the period is outlined below.

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 not identified any key audit matters for Invex Therapeutics Ltd.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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

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

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 group 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 Group or to cease
operations, or has 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.
