Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Shareholders, 

MedAdvisor’s Genesis 

Empathizing  with  his  Mother  Viv,  who  was  battling 
with two chronic diseases and multiple medications in 
our  disjointed  paper-based  healthcare  system,  Josh 
Swinnerton  conceived 
that  became 
the 
MedAdvisor. AIHW statistics suggest that Viv was one 
of  12  million  Australians  who  have  a  chronic  disease 
for  which  they  are  managing  medications  without 
visibility or control.  

ideas 

Our  purpose  is  to  innovate  to  improve  convenience 
and  access  to  healthcare,  so  ultimately  people  feel 
better.  We  enable  people  who  take  medication  to 
track, manage and order their medications with ease. 
We  ensure  that  they  have  convenient  access,  avoid 
waiting at pharmacy or their GPs, and have the critical 
information  they  need  to  take  their  medications 
safely, effectively and on time. We assist pharmacists 
and  doctors  in  providing  efficient  care  for  their 
patients, and facilitate effective communication from 
pharmaceutical manufacturers to patients to improve 
the  impact  of  their  medication  and  therefore  the 
adherence that lifts sales.  

Non-adherence  to  medication  is  a  US  $650B  global 
problem.  Research  suggests  people  on  chronic 
medications  take  about  half  the  doses  prescribed  by 
their  doctors.  This  is  a  huge  health  problem  and 
significant revenue issue for providers in the market. 

improve  the 

Viv  Swinnerton  passed  on  recently.  Josh’s  vision  has 
grown  to 
lives  of  over  800,000 
Australians.  He  and  our  MedAdvisor  team  are 
improving,  are  growing  –  with  our  unfailing  purpose 
being to serve people better. 

Our Year in Review 

It is with great pleasure that we bring you this year’s 
annual  report,  and  I  am  delighted  to  welcome  new 
shareholders.  

In  October  2016  MedAdvisor  successfully  raised  $8 
million to finance acquisitions and to drive our growth 
initiatives. We were pleased that many of our existing 
shareholders as well as new investors took part in the 
Placement. Several of our pharmacy groups joined in 
the  Placement,  providing  strong  industry  recognition 
of our offering and their commitment and support to 
MedAdvisor.  

is  positioned 

Well positioned in a growing market 
MedAdvisor 
in  the  growing  health 
technology sector that continues to gain pace as the 
driving factors in the market become stronger. It has 
been estimated by GreatCall that 52% of people gather 
health related information on their smartphone. This 
is  a  staggering  proportion  and  likely  doesn’t  even 
include those that use online only platforms, such as 
MedAdvisor.  

Prolonged  waiting  periods  and 
increasingly  busy 
lifestyles  add  to  the  challenge  of  keeping  on  top  of 
medication management. As more and more general 
practitioners adopt digital technologies as part of their 
care programs, MedAdvisor is well placed with its GP 
and  pharmacy  networks  to  become  the 
‘go-to’ 
application for medication management. By increasing 
the  connectivity  between  the  patient  and  their 
caregiver,  we  are  improving  their  healthcare  and 
removing friction that exists within the system.   

increase 
Ultimately,  at  MedAdvisor  we  aim  to 
convenience and improve health for the consumer and 
to drive efficiencies for the health care practitioners. 
The healthcare system is complex and we have created 
a  simple  and  effective  tool  to  navigate  those 
complexities.  New  features  were  added  this  year 
including  the  ability  to  provide  specialist  referrals, 
services, 
pathology 
eConsultations  and  online  bookings  -  all  aimed  at 
simplifying the health care experience for the patient.

Exceptional growth this year 
The growth we have experienced this year across our 
user base has been exceptional. Since the end of the 
2016 financial year, we have achieved more than 350% 
growth  reaching  over  837,000  users.  We  now 
represent  ~50%  of  Australian  pharmacies,  through  a 
strong network of over 2,650 pharmacies subscribing 
to  the  platform  and  promoting  MedAdvisor  among 
their customers.  

Patient  engagement  has  also  been 
increasing, 
evidenced  by  the  growing  use  of  our  Tap  to  Refill 
function. We processed a total of $166 million value of 
scripts this year vs $40 million in the previous financial 
year.  

Expanding Management Team 
 This year, we were delighted to welcome a number of 
new  members  to  our  executive  team.  Mr  Ashley 
the 
Falting  and  Mr  Saurabh  Mishra 

joined

management  team  from  Healthnotes  following  the 
successful acquisition, bringing with them a wealth of 
health-tech  industry  experience.  They  have  been 
instrumental  in  the  seamless  integration  of  the  two 
businesses.  

We  also  welcomed  Dr  David  Chatterton  as  Chief 
Technology  Officer  and  Mr  Simon  Chamberlain  as 
General  Manager  -  Product  &  Strategy.  These  two 
senior  appointments  are  indicative  of  our  growth 
strategy  and  the  growth  phases  we  are  targeting 
domestically and internationally.  

Looking ahead 
In the 2018 financial year our focus is squarely set on 
seeking  further  growth  domestically,  along  with 
exploring  international  opportunities.  We  expect  to 
see some of these come to fruition in 2018.  

There  are  estimated  to  be  12  million  people  in 
Australia with a chronic disease that requires regular 
medication. Our current patient user base accounts for 
less than 14% of the potential patient market, giving 
us  a  significant  opportunity  for  further  domestic 
growth.  We  will  be  working  closely  with  our 
substantial  pharmacy  network  and  disease  group 
partners  to 
increase  our  market  penetration  of 
patients within Australia. 

By  working  alongside  pharmacies,  we  increase  our 
patient  users  and  increase  the  pharmacist’s  revenue 
opportunities. 

We are set for another year of milestones and have in 
place a solid foundation for ongoing growth.  

I  look  forward  to  sharing  further  progress  with  you 
throughout the year and take this opportunity to thank 
MedAdvisor’s dedicated staff for their hard work this 
year,  and  our  loyal  shareholders  for  their  continued 
support.  

Yours Sincerely 

Peter Bennetto 
Chairman 
Camberwell, 29 August 2017.

Review of operations 

This financial year was the Company’s first full financial year trading as a public company since re-listing on the ASX in 
December 2015. Throughout the year MedAdvisor has successfully grown the business, both organically and through 
M&A activities.  

Acquisitions 
In October 2016, MedAdvisor completed the acquisition of Health Enterprises 2 Pty Ltd (Healthnotes), another leader 
in  the  healthcare  technology  and  patient  communication  space.  This  acquisition  has  provided  MedAdvisor  with  a 
number of key benefits: expansion of both the pharmacy network and patients, new technical capabilities through the 
Healthnotes  platform,  potential  for  new  revenue  streams,  and  additional  development  capabilities  through  the 
Healthnotes team, all of which have significantly accelerated our growth. 

The acquisition of Healthnotes delivered growth across the pharmacy network with the addition of 800 (net adjusting 
for duplicated customers) pharmacy subscribers and more than 300,000 patients, strengthening MedAdvisor’s market 
position. The acquisition also added new capability to facilitate script processing for nursing homes and pharmacies 
connecting through links with over 4,000 GPs. Healthnotes has over 1,400 GP’s who are connected to the Healthnotes 
script processing platform.  

The acquisition brought significant technology benefits that were integrated into the MedAdvisor platform during the 
financial year. This integration and technology developments culminated in the launch of the Company’s new PlusOne 
platform. 

In February 2017 MedAdvisor completed the acquisition of OzDocsOnline for a total cash consideration of $150,000 
excluding transaction costs.  Upon completion, the Company integrated OzDocsOnline  services into its capabilities, 
which has enabled MedAdvisor to offer its users additional services including specialist referrals, pathology results, 
secure messaging services, eConsulatations and online bookings. OzDocsOnline also brought relationships with over 
100 new clinics and ~300 General Practitioners. 

Platform Growth  
MedAdvisor began the year with a user base of 184,000 patients, which increased to over 837,000 at the end of the 
reporting period. This growth of more than 350% was driven organically from the Company’s marketing efforts and 
promotion  of  the  app  through  its  pharmacy  network;  plus  the  acquisition  of  Healthnotes  in  October  2016  and 
OzDocsOnline in February 2017.  

The  pharmacy  market  is  highly  fragmented,  Government  pharmacy  ownership  restrictions  has  resulted  in 
approximately 5,400 pharmacies controlled by 3,500 individual owners.  This fragmentation is increased  further as 
there are 13 pharmacy dispensing systems in the market. It is a hard market to access at scale, but by increasing the 
MedAdvisor pharmacy network by ~1,000 pharmacies during the year, our network is now over 2,600, representing 
nearly  50%  of  pharmacies  nationally.    The  Company  now  has  a  strong  presence  with  all  leading  pharmacy  names 
including but not limited to Discount Drug Stores, Blooms, Good Price Pharmacy Warehouse, Priceline, Amcal, Optimal 
and Terry White Chemmart. 

Adherence  to  medications  is  a  global  problem.  The  World  Health  Organisation  estimates  that  ~50%  of  prescribed 
chronic medications are taken in developed countries. MedAdvisor has further assessed de-identified data of 1.3m 
patients on chronic medications in Australia and Australians only take their medications 54% of the time.  This means 
that patients are not getting the health benefits that their doctors intend, the Government is not getting what they 
Page | 13  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
pay for in terms of keeping people out of the Health System and pharmacies and manufacturers are missing out on 
vital revenues. 

To  address  this  issue MedAdvisor  has  a  unique  platform  through  which  pharmaceutical  manufacturers  can  access 
patients through Patient Engagement Programs (PEPs) to help educate them on why and how to take their medication 
safely, effectively and on time.  

Throughout the year PEPs experienced significant growth and MedAdvisor is now partnered with nine of the largest 
pharmaceutical  manufacturers  in  Australia,  including GlaxoSmithKline,  Novartis,  Bristol  Myers  Squibb,  Pfizer, 
AstraZeneca and more. We managed a total of 21 PEPs on the platform during the year. The opt out rates for these 
are very low, averaging less than 1%, meaning patients are finding the information highly valuable. The incremental 
lift in adherence is also delivering strong Return on Investment for manufacturers on top of the data and insights that 
MedAdvisor delivers.  

Scripts  ordered  through  the MedAdvisor  platform  have  increased  significantly.    The Tap  to  Refill  function  grew 
strongly, with the weekly value of scripts ordered through the platform, including nursing home scripts, growing from 
an average of $1.1 million at the end of 2016 to over $4.5 million per week at the end of FY 2017; growth of more than 
310%. The value of scripts processed in FY17 totalled $166 million, which is 317% ahead of FY16: $40 million.  

Technology Development and Enhancements 
MedAdvisor continued to invest in research and development to improve our pharmacy and patient functionality and 
experience. The acquisitions of Healthnotes and OzDocsOnline delivered new capabilities that have strengthened the 
offering and expanded the services MedAdvisor can provide its customers.   

Patients 
MedAdvisor launched new capabilities in collaboration with Diabetes Australia to allow patients to track, manage and 
order their Diabetes Consumables. These included the option to scan barcodes and identify products from images to 
ensure they are getting the right products from an extensive catalogue. In addition, MedAdvisor added an opportunity 
to track, manage and order over the counter products including vitamins, pain, allergy and cold and flu products. This 
will provide opportunities for manufacturers to add more information about their products.  

Launch of Enhanced Pharmacy Software “PlusOne” 
In July 2017 MedAdvisor launched its new pharmacy software platform “PlusOne” which provides additional pharmacy 
services  including  linking  pharmacies  with  GPs,  an  enhanced  SMS  Platform,  Professional  Services  tracking,  and 
advanced business analytics as well as expanding revenue opportunities for MedAdvisor and its pharmacy subscribers. 

The PlusOne platform enables pharmacies to manage their customer relationships including medication management 
on  the  MedAdvisor  app  or  via  SMS;  improves the  efficiency  of their  marketing  and  the ir  ability  to  drive  new  in-
pharmacy services. PlusOne stimulates demand, books and tracks appointments, and provides records and analysis of 
their  business.  PlusOne  will  include  a  marketplace  through  which  Program  funders  can  offer  new  services  to 
pharmacies and patients via a central hub. 

MedAdvisor also announced an agreement with iHealth, a leading provider of mobile health devices and apps that 
enable patients to accurately measure and track a range of important health metrics including blood pressure, weight, 
blood  glucose  and  others  along  with  their  medications.  The  integration  of  iHealth  will  allow  pharmacies  to  order 
iHealth  devices  through  MedAdvisor,  creating  revenues for  MedAdvisor  and  additional  revenue  opportunities  for 
MedAdvisor Network pharmacies.  

GP Channel 
MedAdvisor developed a new service that allows patients to “skip the queue” and request repeat scripts from their 
own GP if they are connected to the MedAdvisor Platform. If approved by the GP these scripts are then sent to their 
nominated pharmacy. MedAdvisor also selectively introduced a service offering On Demand GP services for those 
patients that don’t have a regular GP. These patients can get repeat prescriptions from the On Demand GP for chronic 

Page | 14 

medication which they have had previously dispensed to them and sent to their nominated pharmacy, saving time 
and ensuring that they have appropriate medication supply.  

These services were augmented with the acquisition of OzDocsOnline. The wider array of services in OzDocsOnline 
includes repeat prescriptions, specialist referrals, pathology test results and GP Appointment bookings.  

The  Healthnotes  GP  Connect  Portal  allows  MedAdvisor  Network  Pharmacies  to  link  with  over  1,500  GPs  to 
electronically  bulk  order  scripts  for  nursing  home  clients  as  well  as  providing  a  digital  platform  to  manage  scripts 
owing. A further 3,000 doctors are communicated to via other Healthnotes messaging platforms. An opportunity exists 
in FY18 to consolidate the GP services to build customer synergies.  

Commercial 
MedAdvisor  continued  to  invest  in  growing  connected  users  and  pharmacies.  Patients  per  pharmacy  increased  to 
more than 300 (from 112 in FY16) and MedAdvisor invested in building the sales and marketing team. The commercial 
strength of the business was boosted by the appointment of Mr Simon Chamberlain as General Manager - Product & 
Strategy, a highly experienced digital and strategy executive that has led businesses and Business Units for Qantas, 
Hitwise/Experian and Medibank.  

MedAdvisor expanded its partnerships with not-for-profit and disease state groups and now has partnerships with 
Glaucoma Australia, Diabetes Australia, Asthma Australia, Osteoporosis Australia, the Stroke Foundation, Parkinson’s 
Australia and Epilepsy Action Australia. These partnerships are important validation of the role that MedAdvisor plays 
in helping manage chronic disease. These bodies represent approximately 6.5m patients living with health conditions. 

MedAdvisor extended its relationship with Bupa into Healthscope Hospitals and the MedAdvisor platform is now being 
offered to Bupa patients as they are discharged from certain Healthscope Hospitals to help manage their medications 
as they return home. 25%-30% of all hospital admissions for patients over 65 are due to Medication misadventure. 
Bupa and Healthscope are committed to reducing the system and personal impacts of this through helping patients 
transition more effectively as they leave hospital. MedAdvisor helps these patients stay in control of their medication. 

In  addition  to  the  increased  marketing  and  sales  initiatives  MedAdvisor  appointed  highly  experienced  Dr  David 
Chatterton as Chief Technology Officer to lead further development and enhancement of the platform as the Company 
enters the next phase of continued domestic growth and international expansion. Dr Chatterton joins MedAdvisor 
from Aconex (ASX:ACX) where he held a number of roles over 10 years, including Chief Technology Officer.  

We  invested  in  exploring  international  markets  and  opportunities  and  have  identified  opportunities  that  will  be 
assessed  over  the  next  12  months.  There  is  no  doubt  MedAdvisor  is  the  most  sophisticated  and  integrated 
independent medication management platform globally. 

Financial position 

The Group has $4,834,660 in cash as of 30 June 2017 following a net cash increase of $1,945,670 for the year. 

The net assets of the Group at 30 June 2017 were $9,354,293, an increase in net assets of $6,889,866 from 30 June 
2016.  

Significant changes in state of affairs 

On  31  October  2016  MedAdvisor  Limited  completed  the  acquisition  of  100%  of  the  issued  capital  of  Health 
Enterprises 2 Pty Ltd (Healthnotes). The acquisition was for a total net consideration of $5,045,595, which was paid 
$2,845,595 cash and $2,200,000 in scrip at $0.038 per share. The cash component was partially funded from the 
proceeds of the $8 million capital raising undertaken in October 2016.  

On 20 February 2017 MedAdvisor completed the acquisition of the OzDocsOnline business for a cash consideration 
of $150,000. 

The two mining tenements held in New South Wales were surrendered during the year. Remediation works were

undertaken to the satisfaction of the landowners and a full refund of the associated Exploration Bonds was received. 

Likely developments 

MedAdvisor will continue to focus its domestic operations on growing patients connected to the platform and through 
the expansion of MedAdvisor’s pharmacy and GP networks. These key stakeholders who are at the core of our strategy 
allow us to build on existing revenues as well as creating new transactional revenues. 

The new PlusOne pharmacy platform is a key element to extending our strategic alliances and value to major pharmacy 
groups and attracting those pharmacies in these groups that are not already a part of the MedAdvisor network.  

We will  seek to attract  more patients to the MedAdvisor  network through the GP  channel and through increased 
market awareness.  

MedAdvisor will continue to grow our engagement with pharmaceutical manufacturers so that they see MedAdvisor 
as an important way to engage with their patients. This means adding more manufacturers and working across more 
products during FY18.  

We will continue to innovate to improve patients’ convenience and access to healthcare. This includes a focus on 
improving how we operate and the bringing quality new people to MedAdvisor. 

MedAdvisor is a world class product and internationally we are focusing in on two key markets and will continue to 
evaluate the most appropriate market entry strategies for the best markets.

Remuneration report - audited 

The Directors of MedAdvisor Limited (the  Group) present the Remuneration Report for Non-Executive Directors, 
Executive Directors and other Key Management Personnel, prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 

Page | 16 

and the Corporations Regulations 2001 Remuneration Philosophy. 

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings: 

a.  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
b.  Details of remuneration 
c.  Service agreements 
d.  Share-based remuneration; and 
e.  Other information 

a.  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of  remuneration 

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are: 

• 
• 

• 

to align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders; 

to  drive  a  high  performance  culture  by  setting  challenging  objectives  and  rewarding  high  performing 
individuals; and 

to ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support the attraction, 
motivation and retention of executive talent. 

MedAdvisor Limited has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the 
reward  strategy  of  the Group.  The  remuneration  structure  that  has  been  adopted  by  the  Group  consists  of  the 
following components: 

• 
• 
• 

fixed remuneration being annual salary;  
short term incentives, being bonuses; and 
long term incentives, being employee share schemes. 

The payment of bonuses, share options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Board prior to approval 
by the Board annually as part of the review of executive remuneration.  All bonuses, options and incentives must be 
linked to pre-determined performance criteria. 

Short Term Incentive (STI) and Long Term Incentive (LTI) 

MedAdvisor  performance  measures  involve  the  use  of  annual  performance  objectives,  metrics,  performance 
appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the Company values. The performance measures are set annually after 
consultation with the Directors and executives and are specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a 
level of control. The measures target areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential for expansion and profit 
and cover financial and non-financial measures. 
The Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) for the Executive Team are summarised as follows: 

Performance areas 

• 
• 

financial – revenues and operating results; and 
non-financial – strategic goals set for each business unit based on job descriptions 

The STI and LTI Program’s incorporate both cash and share-based components for the Executive Team and other 
employees. The Board may, at its discretion, award bonuses for exceptional performance in relation to each person’s 
pre-agreed KPIs.

c.  Service agreements  

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Executive Directors and other Key Management Personnel 
are formalised in a Service Agreement. The major provisions of the agreements relating to remuneration are set out 
below: 

Note:  Base  salary  noted  above  is  exclusive  of  superannuation  which  under  the  applicable  service  agreements  is 
capped in accordance with the maximum superannuation contribution base for superannuation guarantee purposes. 

The remuneration of non-executive Directors is set by the Board at a level that provides the Board with the ability to 
attract and retain directors of the highest calibre whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. At the 
Annual  General  Meeting  held  on  18  December  2015  shareholders  approved  aggregate  remuneration  of  non-
executive directors of $350,000 per annum.  

The amount each non-executive director is remunerated is set by the Board based on the recommendation from the 
People and Remuneration Committee. Individual remuneration is set having regard to the director’s experience and 
their role on the Board and Committees.

director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith. 

During the financial year, the company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives 
of the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance

Page | 23  

 
 
 
 
 
 
Indemnities and insurance premiums of auditor 

The company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor 
of the company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. 

During the financial year, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the 
company or any related entity. 

Non-audit services 

During the year, RSM Australia Partners, the Company’s auditors, performed certain other services in addition to 
their statutory audit duties. 

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and the Board is satisfied 
that  the  provision  of  those  non-audit  services  during  the  year  is  compatible  with,  and  did  not  compromise,  the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

• 

• 

all non-audit services were reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact upon the integrity 
and objectivity of the auditor 

the non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence 
as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing 
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an 
advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards 

Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, RSM Australia Partners, and its related practices for audit 
and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 13 to the financial statements. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Company

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies 

The  financial  statements  cover  the  Company  of  MedAdvisor  Limited.  MedAdvisor  Limited  is  a  listed  public 
company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

The financial statements were authorized for issue on the 29 August 2017 by the Directors of the Company. 

Basis of preparation 

The  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements  that  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with 
Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a  for-profit entity for 
financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in   financial 
statements  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 
these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs,  modified, where 
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. 

Accounting Policies 

(a) 

Principles of Consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  all  of  the  assets,  liabilities  and  results  of  the  parent 
MedAdvisor Limited and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent  controls an 
entity when it 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 over the entity. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note  6   of the 
Financial Statements. 

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from 
the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date 
that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or  losses on transactions  between 
Group  entities  are  fully  eliminated  on  consolidation.  Accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been changed and 
adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group. 

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling 
interests”.  The  Group  initially  recognises  non-controlling  interests  that  are  present  ownership  interests 
in 
subsidiaries  and  are  entitled  to  a  proportionate  share  of  the  subsidiary’s  net  assets  on  liquidation  at  either  fair 
value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial 
recognition,  non-controlling  interests  are  attributed  their  share  of  profit  or  loss  and  each  component  of  other 
comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement 
of financial position and statement of comprehensive income. 

(b) 

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.

(c) 

Revenue recognition 

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the 
revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. 

License fees  
License fees are charged for the use of the MedAdvisor platform and the revenue recognized at the point at which 
the  customer  has  agreed  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  use  of  the  platform  and  installs  the  interface  on  their 
computer equipment and is able to benefit from and be rewarded for the use of the platform.  

Rendering of services 
Rendering  of  services  revenue  from  computer  maintenance  fees  is  recognised  by  reference  to  the  stage  of 
completion of the contracts.  Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a 
percentage  of  total  estimated  labour  hours  for  each  contract.  Where  the  contract  outcome  cannot  be  reliably 
estimated, revenue is only recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs incurred to date. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating 
the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective 
interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the 
financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

(d) 

Income tax 

The income tax expense (revenue) for the period comprises current income tax expense (income) and  deferred tax 
expense (income). 

Current  income  tax  expense  charged  to  the  profit  or  loss  is  the  tax  payable  on  taxable  income  calculated  using 
applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the  end of the reporting period. Current  tax 
liabilities  (assets)  are  therefore  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  to  (recovered  from)  the  relevant 
taxation authority. 

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the 
year as well unused tax losses. 

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or 
loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where 
amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised 
from  the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is  no  effect  on 
accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the 
asset is  realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of  the 
reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or  settle 
the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

MEDADVISOR LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 

Where  temporary  differences  exist  in  relation  to  investments  in  subsidiaries,  branches,  associates,  and  joint 
ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the  temporary 
difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will  occur. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets  and liabilities 
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable 
entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and 
liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities  are expected to 
be recovered or settled. 

(e)

Current and non-current classification

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

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

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

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

(f)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term  highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

(g)

Trade and other receivables

Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the 
effective  interest  method,  less  any  provision  for  impairment.  Trade  receivables  are  generally  due  for  settlement 
within 30 days. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are 
written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when 
there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the 
original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter 
bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more  than 60 days overdue) are 
considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the 
difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at 
the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of 
discounting is immaterial. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

(h)

Work in progress

Work in progress on services contract’s in progress comprises the cost of labour directly related to the performance 
of the contract plus any other direct costs incurred in delivering the contract services.  

(i)

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated 
recoverable amount, the carrying amount is  written down immediately to the  estimated recoverable amount and 
impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate 
to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present 
(refer to Note 1 (l) for details of impairment). 

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

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of 
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised  as expenses in profit or loss 
during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land,  
is depreciated over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. 
Leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the  shorter  of  either  the  unexpired  period  of  the  lease  or  the 
estimated useful lives of the improvements. 

The depreciation rates and method of deprecation is as follows: 

•
•
•

Office equipment – diminishing value at 30% p.a.
Office furniture – straight line at 20% p.a.
Leasehold improvements – straight line over the unexpired period of the lease

(j)

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement 
and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset 
or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all 
the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor 
effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. 

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if 
lower,  the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  principal 
component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability. 

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the 
asset's  useful  life  and  the  lease  term  if  there  is  no  reasonable  certainty  that  the  consolidated  entity  will  obtain 
ownership at the end of the lease term. 

Page | 35 

MEDADVISOR LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-
line basis. 

(k)

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair 
value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite 
life  intangible  assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life 
intangible  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  amortization  and  any  impairment.  The  gains  or  losses 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  arising  from  the  derecognition  of  intangible  assets  are  measured  as  the  difference 
between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite 
life  intangible  assets  are  reviewed  annually.  Changes  in  the  expected  pattern  of  consumption  or  useful  life  are 
accounted for prospectively by changing the amortization method or period. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for 
impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  it  might  be  impaired,  and  is 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are 
not subsequently reversed. 

Patents and trademarks 
Significant costs associated with patents and trademarks are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the 
period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years. 

(l)

Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company 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 including 
dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of  pre-acquisition 
profits. 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  (e.g.  in 
accordance  with  the  revaluation  model  in  AASB  116:  Property,  Plant  and  Equipment).  Any impairment  loss  of  a 
revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard. 

Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual asset,  the  Company estimates  the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets 
not yet available for use. 

(m)

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the 
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not 
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

(n)

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of 
a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate 
can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the  

Page | 36 

MEDADVISOR LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

consideration  required  to  settle  the  present  obligation  at  the  reporting  date,  taking  into  account  the  risks  and 
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a 
current  pre-tax  rate  specific  to  the  liability.  The  increase  in  the  provision  resulting  from  the  passage  of  time  is 
recognised as a finance cost. 

(o)

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when 
the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting 
date are measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by 
employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of 
employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the 
reporting  date  on  corporate  bonds  with  terms  to  maturity  and  currency  that  match,  as  closely  as  possible,  the 
estimated future cash outflows. 

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange 
for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the 
amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term 
of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying 
share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting 
conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees 
to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is 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. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market 

Page | 37 

MEDADVISOR LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all 
other conditions are satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been 
made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases 
the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the 
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee 
and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining 
vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. 

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled 
and new award is treated as if they were a modification. 

(p)

Fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, 
the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place 
either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.  

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on 
its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data 
are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the 
use of unobservable inputs. 

(q)

Issued capital

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. 

(r)

Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity 
instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree 
is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition 
costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the 
consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-
date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity 
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous 
carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. 

Page | 38 

MEDADVISOR LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is  recognised  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value. 
Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised 
in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is 
accounted for within equity. 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing 
investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value 
is  less  than  the  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  net  assets  acquired,  being  a  bargain  purchase  to  the  acquirer,  the 
difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a 
reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, 
based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The  
measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the 
acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. 

(s)

Earnings per share

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

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into 
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary 
shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to 
dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

(t)

Financial instruments 

Recognition 
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related 
contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out 
below. 

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. 

Financial liabilities 
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments 
and amortization.

(u)

Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or 
as part of the expense. 

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

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

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

(v)

New standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

At the date of this financial report the following standards and interpretations, which may impact the entity in the 
period of initial application, have been issued but are not yet effective. Other than changes to disclosure formats, it is 
not expected that the initial application of these new standards in the future will have any material impact on the 
financial report, except AASB 16 Leases. This standard requires operating leases which are currently held off balance 
sheet to be brought onto the balance sheet.  Future expected lease payments should be capitalized and brought onto 
the balance sheet as an asset (right of use) and also reflect an offsetting liability and are amortized together with 
interest costs over the expected remaining period of the leases.  The expected value of such offsetting assets and 
liabilities at 30 June 2017 is $733,120 and the group has not brought such assets or liabilities to account.

Note 2: Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and 
estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its 
judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations 
of  future  events,  management  believes  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The  resulting  accounting 
judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions 
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to 
the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The consolidated entity 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 policy stated in note 1. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units 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. 

The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity's goodwill has been determined by a value-in-use calculation 
using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 3 year projection period approved by management and extrapolated 
for a further 2 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value.

Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive. 

The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model for the business: 

(a) 15.7% (2016: n/a) pre-tax discount rate;
(b) 5.0% (2016: n/a) per annum projected revenue growth rate;
(c) 5.0% (2016: n/a) per annum increase in operating costs and overheads.

The discount rate of 15.7% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated 
entity’s weighted average cost of capital, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market 
movements. 

Management believes the projected revenue and cost growth rate of 5% in the fourth and fifth years is prudent and 
justified based on current and expected growth in the business. 

Based on the above an impairment charge has not been applied as the carrying amount of goodwill does not exceed 
its recoverable amount for the business. 

Sensitivity 
The  directors  have  made  judgements  and  estimates  in  respect  of  impairment  testing  of  goodwill.  Should  these 
judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities are as 
follows: 

(a) Revenue  would  need  to  decrease  by  more  than  10.5%  for  the  business  before  goodwill  would  need  to  be
impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

(b) The discount rate would be required to increase by 12.6% for the business before goodwill would need to be
impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of 
the goodwill is based would not cause the cash-generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. 

If there are any negative changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill is based, this 
would result in a further impairment charge for the goodwill. 

Share-based payment transactions 
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either 
the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were 
granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no 
impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit 
or loss and equity.  

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life 
intangible  assets  at  each  reporting  date  by  evaluating  conditions  specific  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  to  the 
particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is 
determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number 
of key estimates and assumptions. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it 
is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Note 7: Reverse acquisition accounting 

On 12 November 2015, MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd original shareholders obtained a majority share interest in 
MedAdvisor Limited (formerly known Exalt Resources Limited) after a reverse acquisition transaction. 

This transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination in AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ as the net 
assets that existed  within Exalt Resources Limited as at the date of acquisition did not represent a 'business' (as 
defined by AASB 3). The transaction has therefore been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by 
reference to the accounting requirements of AASB 2 ‘Share-based payment’ and AASB 3, as a deemed issue of shares  
which  is,  in  effect,  a  share-based  payment  transaction  whereby  MedAdvisor  International  Pty  Ltd  original 
shareholders  have  acquired  the  net  assets  of  MedAdvisor  Limited  (formerly  known  Exalt  Resources  Limited), 
together with the listing status of MedAdvisor Limited. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  represent  a  continuation  of  the  financial  statements  of  MedAdvisor 
International Pty Ltd. The following principles and guidance on the preparation and presentation of consolidated 
financial statements in a reverse acquisition set out in AASB 3 have been applied: 

− 

− 

− 

− 

− 

− 

− 

fair  value  adjustments  arising  at  acquisition  were  made  to  MedAdvisor  Limited  (formerly  known  Exalt 
Resources Limited) assets and liabilities, not those of MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd; 

the cost of the acquisition, and amount recognised as issued capital to affect the transaction, is based on 
the value of the notional amount of shares that MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd would have needed to 
issue shareholders of Exalt Resources Limited to acquire the same shareholding percentage in MedAdvisor 
Limited at the acquisition date; 

retained earnings and other equity balances in the consolidated financial statements at acquisition date are 
those of MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd; 

an  in-substance  share-based  payment  transaction  arises  whereby  MedAdvisor  International  Pty  Ltd  is 
deemed to have issued shares in exchange for the net liabilities of MedAdvisor Limited (together with the 
listing  status of MedAdvisor  Limited). The listing  status does not qualify for recognition as an intangible 
asset. The excess of the value of consideration deemed to have been paid over the fair value of the net 
liabilities acquired has therefore, been expensed in profit or loss as a share based payment listing expense; 

the equity structure in the consolidated financial statements (the number and type of equity instruments 
issued)  at  the  date  of  the  acquisition  reflects  the  equity  structure  of  MedAdvisor  Limited,  including  the 
equity instruments issued by MedAdvisor Limited to effect the acquisition; 

the  results  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2016  comprise  the  consolidated  results  for  the  entire  year  of 
MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd together with the results of MedAdvisor Limited from 12 November 2015; 
and; 

the comparative result represents the consolidated financial year results of MedAdvisor International Pty 
Ltd only. 

Note 8: Acquisition share based payments expense 

On 12 November 2015, Exalt Resources Limited acquired 100% of the share capital of the MedAdvisor International 
Pty Ltd. MedAdvisor Limited (formerly known Exalt Resources Limited) issued 385,064,105 shares to the original 
shareholders of MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd. The issue of shares resulted in the MedAdvisor International Pty 
Ltd original shareholders holding a majority share interest in MedAdvisor Limited (formerly known Exalt Resources 
Limited).

This  transaction  has  been  accounted  for  as  a  share-based  payment  in  accordance  with    AASB2    ‘Share-  based 
payment’  and  the  consolidated  financial  statements  represent  a  continuation  of  the  financial  statements  of 
MedAdvisor  International  Pty  Ltd.  The  consolidated  comparative  numbers  represent  those  of  the  consolidated 
MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd operations and not those of MedAdvisor Limited (formerly known Exalt Resources

Note 9: Operating segments 

The Board has determined that the Company presently has two reporting segments. The first being the business 
activities of the MedAdvisor medication management and adherence platform and the second being the corporate 
function associated with being an ASX listed company. The Board monitors the Company based on actual versus 
budgeted revenue and expenditure incurred. This internal reporting framework is the most relevant to assist the 
Board with making decisions regarding the Company and its ongoing activities.

Financial Risk Management Policies 

The Directors' overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in meeting its financial targets, whilst 
minimising  potential  adverse  effects  on  financial  performance.    Risk  management  policies  are  approved  and 
reviewed by the Directors' on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. 

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 

The main risks the Entity is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk 
and equity price risk. 

Interest Rate Risk 

a. 
Exposure to interest risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a 
future change in interest rates will effect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments 

b.  Liquidity Risk 
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise 
meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Entity manages this risk through the following mechanisms: 

Preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities.

MEDADVISOR LIMITED 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 

c.  Credit Risk 
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non−performance by counter parties of 
contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Entity. 

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems 
for  the  approval,  granting  and  removal  of  credit  limits,  regular  monitoring  of  exposures  against  such  limits  and 
monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counter parties), ensuring to the extent possible, 
that  customers  and  counter  parties  to  transactions  are  of  sound  credit  worthiness.    Such  monitoring  is  used  in 
assessing receivables for impairment. Credit terms are generally 30 days from the invoice date.  Customers who do 
not meet the Entity's strict credit policies may only purchase in cash or only use recognised credit cards. 

Credit Risk Exposures 
The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  by  class  of  recognised  financial  assets  at  balance  date  is  equivalent  to  the 
carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the balance sheet. 
Trade  and  other  receivables  that  are  neither  past  due  or  impaired  are  considered  to  be  of  high  credit  quality.  
Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 15. 

Net Fair Values 

Fair value estimation 

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared 
to their carrying values as presented in the balance sheet. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be 
exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.  

Fair  values  derived  may  be  based  on  information  that  is  estimated  or  subject  to  judgment,  where  changes  in 
assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgment and the assumptions have 
been detailed below.  Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, 
with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair values for listed 
securities  are  obtained  from  quoted  market  bid  prices.  Where  securities  are  unlisted  and  no  market  quotes  are 
available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used 
by market participants. 

Differences between fair values and carrying amounts on financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to 
the change in discount rates being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the company. Most of the 
instruments which are carried at amortised cost are to be held until maturity and therefore the net fair value figures 
calculated bear little relevance to the company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF 

MEDADVISOR LIMITED 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  MedAdvisor  Limited,  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of 
financial  position  as  at  30 June  2017,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, 
and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 
the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year..  

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including:  

(i)  giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of 

its financial performance for the year then ended; and  

(ii)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Our  responsibilities  under  those 
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of 
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's

report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report. 

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

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Accounting for Business Combinations 

Refer to Note 25 in the financial statements 

During  the  year,  the  consolidated  entity  completed 
the acquisition of Healthnotes, as described in Note 
25  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements.    The 
consolidated entity has determined the acquisition to 
be  a  business  combination  and  have 
initially 
accounted  for  it  on  a  provisional  basis  taking  into 
consideration  all  available 
the 
reporting  date.    The  purchase  price  of  $5,045,595 
(being $2.2m in shares and the balance in cash) is 
to  be  allocated  between  acquired  assets  and 
liabilities,  including  identified  intangible  assets  of 
$1,031,727, and the resultant recognition of goodwill 
of $4,013,868, at their respective fair values.  

information  at 

This  was  considered  a  key  audit  matter  as  the 
accounting  for  the  transaction  is  complex,  and 
involves  significant  judgements  in  applying  the 
accounting standards.  This includes the recognition 
and valuation of consideration paid, the identification 
and  valuation  of 
the 
determination of the fair value of the tangible assets 
acquired. 

intangible  assets,  and 

Our procedures to assess the accounting treatment of 
the acquisition included: 

•  Obtaining  the  share  purchase  agreement  and 
other associated documents, and ensuring that the 
transaction had been accounted for in compliance 
with AASB 3 Business Combinations; 

•  Agreeing  the  consideration  paid,  both  cash  and 
shares, to the signed purchase agreement and to 
bank statements and determining that the shares 
had  been  valued  at  their  fair  value  as  at  the 
acquisition date; 

•  Assessing the consolidated entity’s determination 
of  the  fair  value  of  the  remaining  assets  and 
liabilities,  having  regard  to  the  completeness  of 
assets  and 
the 
reasonableness of any underlying assumptions in 
their respective valuations, including useful lives of 
the intangible and tangible assets acquired; and  

identified  and 

liabilities 

•  Reviewing  the  disclosures  in  Note  25  to  the 
financial statements in order to assess compliance 
with the disclosure requirements of AASB 3.

Impairment of Goodwill 

Refer to Note 18 in the financial statements 

The consolidated entity has goodwill of $4,013,868 
relating  to  its  acquisition  of  Healthnotes  during  the 
current financial year. 

We identified this area as a Key Audit Matter due to 
the  size  of  the  goodwill  balance,  and  because  the 
directors’  assessment  of  the  ‘value  in  use’  of  the 
cash  generating  unit  (“CGU”)  involves  judgements 
about  the  future  underlying  cash  flows  of  the 
business and the discount rates applied to them. 

Management performed an impairment assessment 
over the balance of intangible assets by: calculating 
the  value  in  use  for  the  individual  CGU  identified 
using a discounted cash flow model; and comparing 
the  resulting  value  in  use  of  the  CGU  to  its  book 
value. 

Management  also  performed  a  sensitivity  analysis 
over  the  value  in  use  calculations,  by  varying  the 
assumptions  used  (growth  rates,  terminal  growth 
rate  and  WACC)  to  assess  the  impact  on  the 
valuations. 

As a final check, management compared the book 
values  of  the  CGU  to  the  ASX  Limited  market 
capitalisation for the Company. 

Our  audit  procedures  in  relation  to  management’s 
impairment assessment included: 

•  Assessing  management’s  determination  that  the 
goodwill  should  be  allocated  to  a  single  CGU 
based on the nature of the Group’s business and 
the  manner  in  which  results  are  monitored  and 
reported; 

•  Assessing the valuation methodology used; 
•  Challenging 
of 

key 
assumptions, including the cash flow projections, 
revenue  growth 
rates,  and 
sensitivities used;

Other Information  
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the financial report and the 
auditor's report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 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 have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.  

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 
Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a  whole  is  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  report  is  located  at  the  Auditing  and 
Assurance  Standards  Board  website  at:  www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf.  This  description 
forms part of our auditor's report.
