Every year, non-adherence to medication advice costs 

thousands of lives. That’s why we have made it our mission  

to help improve patient outcomes by connecting patients, 

pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies. 

By working to a common goal, MedAdvisor’s solution is 

improving medication adherence and helping to solve a 

multi-billion-dollar global health problem. 

Here’s how we are doing it.

What is medication  
non-adherence?

Medication non-adherence occurs when  
a patient is not taking their medication as 
prescribed. This can happen unintentionally,  
for example by the patient forgetting or not 
understanding the instructions, or intentionally 
by choosing not to take medication due to side 
effects, fear, inconvenience, or belief that the 
medication is ineffective. The reality of medication 
non-adherence was highlighted in a recent 
study that showed between 40% to 60% of 
patients could not accurately report adherence 
instructions within 10-80 minutes after a 
consultation[1]. It has also been shown that as 
many as 59% of Australians have inadequate 
health literacy[2].

This problem is further supported by the World 
Health Organisation (WHO), which estimates that 
medical adherence to long term therapies in 
developed nations is as low as 50%, and that 
closing the gap represents the largest driver of 
the avoidable health costs that ensue, impacting 
the funders of health care including governments, 
health insurers and hospitals. In addition, low 
medication adherence rates cost pharmaceutical 
companies more than US$630b[3] in revenue each 
year, which reduces their ability to invest in new 
products and research and development.

Our Solution and Strategy 

MedAdvisor is focused on improving medication 
adherence through its data-rich, patient centric 
digital platform, and delivering value from the 
benefits generated.

1.  Improving outcomes
Helping patients improve their medication 
management (and health outcomes) by 
empowering them through MedAdvisor’s  
world-class apps and health programs.

2.  Creating a strong network
Enhances value to other key stakeholders 
(payers, providers, pharmaceutical companies  
and pharmacists).

3.   Ability to reach large patient 

populations

Create extensive patient populations  
in our markets, sufficient enough to attract 
program sponsors.

4.  Taking it global
Leverage Australian success to digitise  
the US business and develop the UK business.

Our Objectives

Your health in your hands
Improving healthcare outcomes by giving  
people back control of their medications through 
simplicity, convenience and understanding.

Our Goal

100m digitally connected patients 
receiving health programs p.a.  
by 2025.

Why does medication  
non-adherence exist? 

There are two key drivers of 
non-adherence:

1: UNINTENTIONAL 

I intend to do what the Doctor told me, but:
•  I forgot to take the medication dose
•  I forgot to get supply (from pharmacy or Doctor)
•  I took it incorrectly by accident
•  I did not understand what the doctor told me

2: INTENTIONAL

I choose not to follow the regime because:
•  I do not like the side effects
•  I think the medication does not work
•  I have fear or psychosocial reasons
•  I know better than the doctor
•  It is not convenient

Empowering patients with more 
control and peace of mind 

The MedAdvisor product suite is built upon a 
sophisticated medication data platform that 
supports a patient app, a pharmacy-based 
module “PlusOne”, and digital health programs, 
all of which are connected to dispensing networks.

The MedAdvisor app provides a digital 
connection for patients to their pharmacist  
to support them in their medication journey.  
The app offers many features, including 
important information regarding the prescribed 
medication available to the patient, the ability to 
pre-order medication, arrange delivery, dosage 
reminders, a GP script renewal service and a 
carer mode that allows loved ones to assume 
care on behalf of a patient. MedAdvisor app 
patients report that they feel more in control of 
their health and medication, are more organised 
around their medication use and save significant 
time in the ordering process.

The added peace of mind that comes from 
having easy access to medication history for 
those in more frequent interactions with the 
health system cannot be underestimated.

Facilitating stronger connections 
for pharmacies and their patients

Pharmacies can better anticipate their patients’ 
needs by using our PlusOne in-pharmacy 
platform. PlusOne offers pharmacies a 
Software-as-a-Service solution that empowers 
them to digitally connect to their patients, 
automate medication reminders and offer  
a range of ordering and medication related 
services. In addition to allowing patients to  
“click & collect” their medication, pharmacies 
use PlusOne to alert them to health programs 
and services funded by the government (through 
6CPA) and pharmaceutical companies (through 
MedAdvisor) that are relevant and appropriate 
for their patients. Patients can be enrolled in  
the system with a record of the delivery of the 
program or service streamlined and any fees 
earned by the pharmacy automatically claimed. 
Pharmacies benefit from increased customer 
loyalty, flow-on ancillary purchases and increased 
spending from more adherent patients, coupled 
with improved workflow and an ability to better 
control cash flow and working capital.

Connecting with harder to  
reach patients

MedAdvisor’s health programs offer 
pharmaceutical companies a platform for 
distribution of direct-to-patient and in-pharmacy 
programs to large, geographically dispersed, 
and hard-to-reach audiences. Information can 
be effectively communicated, driving better 
quality use of medicines and health literacy  
and ultimately resulting in improved adherence. 
MedAdvisor has estimated that medication 
adherence can be improved by up to 20%+ for 
users of the app and further again if a patient  
is part of a MedAdvisor-initiated education 
program. The result is improved medication 
adherence which in turn reduces wastage and 
marketing spend, thereby generating improved 
returns to the pharmaceutical company.

Finally, the flow-on benefits of improved 
medication adherence on the healthcare system 
are significant through reduced medical costs 
and hospitalisations.

AU Strategic Priorities

MedAdvisor has established a strong presence in 
the pharmacy market in Australia and is extending 
its patient reach through enhancements with  
its patient app. Overall, MedAdvisor has an 
established network of greater than 65% of the 
total Australian pharmacy market, representing 
around 75% of script volumes in Australia.  
In respect to patient reach, it is estimated that 
there are more than 12 million patients with a 
chronic condition in Australia[1], with MedAdvisor 
having 2.0 million patients connected to its app.

MedAdvisor’s Australian model is centred  
around the patient. Its app is free for patients, 
with revenue generated from pharmacies 
through SaaS and transaction fees, and from 
pharmaceutical companies on a fee per patient 
basis that use the technology and network for 
content distribution. MedAdvisor estimates that 
each patient on the MedAdvisor app adds 
approximately $200 per annum in incremental 
revenue to a pharmacy, demonstrating strong 
ROI and stickiness of the solution for retail 
pharmacy customers.

The Australian operation has undergone significant 
change over the course of the last 12 months, 
which has laid the foundations for continued 
growth in the market. MedAdvisor continues  
to innovate and enhance its product offering, 
with a team of over 40 developers and engineers. 
During the year, MedAdvisor has undertaken a 
complete rebuild of the patient app, which greatly 
simplifies the code base, allowing for a faster, 
more responsive user experience. This new version 
of the app is live in the UK and is expected to be 
available in Australia in the first half of FY22.

In addition, MedAdvisor was the first conformant 
patient app to facilitate ePrescribing in Australia 
and launched a new medication home delivery 
service during COVID-19 travel restrictions as well 
as offering a “click & collect” service, features 
that have now become widely used and critical 
in helping certain patient cohorts in coping with 
COVID-19 related restrictions. Finally, MedAdvisor 
launched a new sign-up pathway for patients 
known as “remote verification”, which allows 
patients to sign up remotely, thereby reducing 
the reliance on patients needing to physically 
visit the pharmacy store for activation of the app.

Your Health in Your HandsContinuously enhancing  
our platform

The in-pharmacy PlusOne module has seen 
significant enhancements during the year, with a 
new booking module integrated with HealthEngine 
and our own booking system to enable a seamless 
workflow for both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations. 
To further improve workflow efficiencies for 
pharmacists, we also completed an integration 
with the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), 
enabling pharmacists to gain real time access  
to patients’ immunisation records prior to 
administering vaccinations through the  
PlusOne system.

These enhancements place MedAdvisor in  
a unique position in continuing to improve 
medication adherence and health outcomes 
and provide a strong platform for sustained 
growth both in Australia and globally.

The investments that MedAdvisor has made in its 
product development and the benefits that flow 
to its stakeholders is evidenced by the low churn 
amongst its pharmacy network, currently tracking 
at just 5.0% per annum. We continue to expand 
on an already strong market share having 
recently signed a five-year agreement with 
pharmacy wholesaler Australian Pharmaceutical 
Industries Limited (API), which owns Priceline 
Pharmacy, Soul Pattinson Chemist, and Pharmacist 
Advice Pharmacy banner groups representing 
approximately 450 pharmacies.

The MedAdvisor platform will provide a 
comprehensive digital solution to the Priceline 
Pharmacy network to better support its 
customers in managing their total health and 
wellbeing. The partnership is expected to 
increase MedAdvisor’s patient reach and aligns 
with the strategic priority of growing domestic 
revenues through patient acquisition and 
network expansion.

Over the last several years, MedAdvisor has 
progressively deployed a string of new features 
to the MedAdvisor app and PlusOne software 
platform. To provide greater value and choice  
to its network, MedAdvisor also introduced a new 
tiered pricing for its SaaS platform, offering the 
choice of either a standard or premium package. 
The new pricing structure also included a price 
increase to the standard package. To date, 
feedback and take up of the premium pricing 
package has been very positive, with pharmacy 
churn remaining stable. MedAdvisor has increased 
its ARR to $6.6m following the change to its 
pricing model.

In March 2020, MedAdvisor responded quickly to 
the challenges presented by COVID-19 by offering 
a click and collect and delivery functionality in 
app. Throughout FY21, the adoption has been 
increasing steadily with nearly 30% of in-app 
orders now using the click and collect functionality.

Your Health in Your HandsInstant US traction via  
Adheris acquisition

In late 2020, MedAdvisor acquired Adheris LLC,  
a medication adherence company based in  
the USA who we had already established a 
go-to-market partnership with 18 months prior. 
The acquisition provides a unique opportunity  
for MedAdvisor to establish a clear leadership  
in medication adherence in the world’s largest 
healthcare market, and with an unrivalled 
network to roll out its digital platform that  
has been developed in Australia.

Adheris has been operating for 30 years and set 
the industry standard for adherence measurement 
and program performance. In this time, Adheris 
has built a strong network with the ability to 
reach +180 million patients via three channels 
(direct mail, in-pharmacy prints, and via health 
care practitioners), with over 80% of the top 100 
pharmaceutical companies using Adheris to  
run medication adherence programs.

Adheris has developed a sophisticated software 
engine that enables patient and prescription 
data to be extracted from approximately 25,000 
pharmacies, which in turn is used to develop 
robust, data-driven programs that yield actionable 
insights. Adheris’ data analytics capability is 
underpinned by its 15 patents, which provides it 
with a clear competitive advantage. The business 
was acquired for US$27.5m including two earn 
outs of US$4m, paid in May 2021, and a further 
US$3 million payable in May 2022 on meeting 
certain revenue targets of US$32.5m for the 
calendar year 2021.

A smooth integration is underway

The integration is proceeding well, with  
additional investments made in sales and 
business development capabilities, as well  
as a transformational project to leverage 
MedAdvisor’s digital assets and Adheris’ data 
analytical capabilities. Investment in the team  
is having a positive impact on sales pipeline 
activities, with greater capacity resulting in  
new customers and programs being added.

MedAdvisor’s strategic priorities for the US  
centre on the digitisation of Adheris’ network, 
which will enable MedAdvisor to leverage its 
predictive analytical capability to deliver greater

Implementing the digital 
transformation 

The digital transformation of the pharmacy 
network is well underway with the integration of 
critical digital endpoints with Adheris’ product 
suite. To date, 30% of Adheris’ pharmacy network 
has agreed to run digital health programs. 
Currently, Adheris is running seven programs 
across 6% of the pharmacy network. Importantly, 
MedAdvisor has invested in a critical enabling 
project called Dynamic Engagement. This changes 
the way pharmaceutical companies engage with 
Adheris from a price per message basis, to a true 
omnichannel, price per patient basis. This allows 
Adheris to leverage powerful data and analytics 
to ensure the right patients are getting the right 
messages via the most effective channels for 
them, including much needed digital engagement 
capabilities. This will enable a more targeted  
and individualised approach for lifting patient 
medication adherence and ROI. To date the 
project is on track and is scheduled to go live 
during the second half of FY22.

MedAdvisor successfully integrated with Cotiviti 
owned HMS to run a patient discharge program 
in Australia and launch initial health programs  
via our secure digital platform.

•  MedAdvisor is taking our leading SaaS solution 
to a market size three times that of Australia’s,  
with more attractive market dynamics
•  Initial client, Day Lewis, live with a white  

label offering to the market

•  Supported by National Pharmacy Association 
representing 6,500 independent pharmacies

•  Integrated with NHS digital systems,

for patient and pharmacy 

The entry into the UK market has provided  
some challenges throughout the year, with 
technical issues and the impact of COVID-19 
delaying our planned roll out. However,  
despite these challenges, the first batch of 
implementations amongst both Day Lewis  
and independent stores has been positively 
received. Integration has involved considerable 
work with the UK’s National Health Service,  
as well as navigating challenges presented  
by COVID-19 restrictions. 

MedAdvisor has successfully passed the 
necessary conformance requirements which 
permit integration with various NHS systems.  
The development of these integrations will 
improve the workflow for pharmacy and  
patient access to medication records including  
the ability for patients to order from their GP. 

South East Asia 

Together with our partner Zuellig Pharma, we 
have reassessed the strategic outlook for this 
joint venture relative to other global opportunities 
that we are now pursuing. As a result of this 
review, the parties jointly determined that the 
capital and time required to achieve success  
in the region would be significant. As such, and 
following our recent acquisition of Adheris,  
we feel it is better for our shareholders that we 
accelerate our operational focus as we strive  
for improved return-on-investment across  
our portfolio of businesses and in particular  
our US market. 

The parties have agreed to dissolve the joint 
venture. MedAdvisor has ceased software 
development efforts in Asia and is redeploying 
headcount to focus on its other markets, 
including the US. There will be a tapering of 
activities in South East Asia where the joint 
venture has existing commitments to execute 
health programs for a small number of global 
pharmaceutical customers. The joint venture 
agreement will be terminated in H1 FY22.

We have enjoyed a valuable partnership with 
Zuellig Pharma in Asia and we look forward to 
potential future collaboration with Zuellig Pharma.

FY21 – a year of 
transformation  
and integration

Chair’s and CEO’s Report

Chris Ridd Chairman

To our shareholders,

This year has been one of transformation 
for MedAdvisor as we ready the business to 
take advantage of key growth opportunities 
across the US, Australia and the UK. 

A patient-centric  
technology business

MedAdvisor is a for purpose HealthTech company 
leveraging software to address medication 
non-adherence – a problem which costs US$630b 
globally and more importantly, hundreds of 
thousands of lives every year. 

MedAdvisor already helps millions of people around 
the globe to take their medication safely, effectively 
and on time. Through a deep understanding of 
patients and their medication needs, MedAdvisor 
is providing solutions to improve health 
outcomes for patients, increase revenue for 
pharmaceutical companies and reduce costs for 
payers. Our solutions include digital medication 
management tools and direct to patient health 
programs. The total global addressable market  
is estimated to be more than $10b p.a.

MedAdvisor has built a SaaS business in 
Australian that now boasts in excess of 65%  
of the pharmacy market, enabling major 
pharmacy chains and their 2.0m patients to 
connect digitally. We also work with 12 of the

top 20 pharmaceutical companies to deliver 
health programs to patients in Australia.

As Australia is only around 2% of the world 
medicines market, our clear focus moving 
forward is to pursue the US market, being one 
that accounts for 46%[1] of total medication spend 
globally. This year we acquired the number one 
adherence business in the US in terms of reach, 
Adheris. With a 30 year track record in medication 
adherence, we now run programs with the 
potential to reach 1 in 2 US residents through  
our network of 25,000 pharmacies in the US.

The knowledge and experience in medication 
adherence across our combined businesses 
means that we understand how to deliver the 
right message, through the right medium at  
the right time. Combining a compelling patient 
experience with deep medication data  
analytics, we provide both pharmacy chains

pharmacy across the globe, and this allows  
us to have a live feed that we can provide  
to patients or healthcare practitioners  
as appropriate. 

There are a number of key strategic  
imperatives that we will focus on over the  
next 12 months in order to deliver strong 
 results. These include:

Adheris has developed world leading 
approaches to analysing and reporting on 
adherence in the US. We have shown that  
with this understanding of a patient’s  
medication profile, we can design programs  
that improve health outcomes around the  
world. These improved health outcomes also 
provide cost savings to payers, improved 
revenues for pharmaceutical companies and 
most importantly better health for patients.

With global reach

Originally developed in the Australian market, 
MedAdvisor has expanded internationally to 
pursue larger medication adherence markets  
in Europe (UK) and the US that offer substantially 
larger market sizes and growth prospects. 

Underpinned by  
operational excellence

MedAdvisor is on track to deliver profitable  
growth and operating leverage through the 
improvement of gross margins made possible  
by the adoption of digital solutions globally, 
particularly in the US. MedAdvisor is committed 
to executing this strategy across its core markets 
and has designed the organisation to achieve 
this in the most efficient way possible.

Digitalisation of the US  
Pharmacy Network
Adheris was clearly the best avenue  
for MedAdvisor to enter the US with  
accelerated pace. 

By rolling out our digital platform into the  
world’s largest market we can access an  
$8b addressable market[2]. This gives us the  
ability to drive top line revenue growth with  
both adherence and awareness programs.

The integration of Adheris and MedAdvisor  
has progressed on budget and on schedule. 
Adheris has unmatched scale and reach to  
run targeted health programs based on a deep 
understanding of a patient’s medication profile. 
The opportunity to add digital channels to the 
existing direct mail and pharmacy prints of 
Adheris allows MedAdvisor to introduce a new 
revenue model known as Dynamic Engagement. 

Dynamic Engagement allows MedAdvisor to 
tailor programs to send messages to selected 
patients via the right channels at the right time. 
Changing the revenue model to a per patient  
per annum, rather than per message basis,  
will allow MedAdvisor to charge more per 
program and increase gross margins in CY22.

Critical to this is to ensure that the pharmacy 
network is enabled to run digital programs. 
MedAdvisor has now secured agreement from 
30% of this US pharmacy network, which enables 
us to reach over 40 million people digitally in  
the US during FY22. We are actively engaged  
in discussions across all chains in the Adheris 
network and focused on having all the US  
chains active with digital and providing the 
foundation for our growth initiatives in the US. 

Drive revenue growth in large 
addressable markets 
In FY21, we generated $38.8m in operating revenue  
and will look to drive both top line revenue as  
well as margin growth in FY22 by working with 
pharmaceutical companies to improve patient 
outcomes. The revenue opportunities in the US, 
Australia and the UK are significant over the 
medium term. Following delays in the UK due  
to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have now 
commenced our SaaS roll out in this market, 
aiming to replicate the success of our Australian 
business model but in a market that is 3 times 
the size. Continued revenue streams in Australia 
are expected to grow in line with increased 
patient volumes underpinned by our health 
programs business. Furthermore, in a market 
that commands 46% of global medication 
spend, we will increase our share of wallet  
from US pharmaceutical clients as they move  
to embrace digital programs.

Thank you for joining us on this journey  
as we continue to grow our global footprint.

Kind regards,

Your Health in Your Hands 
Business update

MedAdvisor recorded operating revenue 
of $38.8m, which reflects the inclusion  
of Adheris from 17 November 2020.  
On a like‑for‑like basis, the total revenue 
growth is up 26.7% for the 12 months  
to 30 June 2021. 

Operating revenue growth

On a like for like basis, operating revenue growth  
is up 26.7% for the 12 months to 30 June 2021.  
The US revenue is characterised by a high  
degree of repeat business with large global 
pharmaceutical companies, of which over 95%  
of revenue is of a recurring nature. Moreover,  
the top 10 customers have remained stable, 
delivering over 75% of revenue on average  
for last three years.

Revenue growth in Australia of 6.5% was 
impacted by resourcing issues within the local 
sales team. This had now been addressed with 
the recent appointment of new leadership and 
business development resources. Despite the 
challenges presented, the fundamentals of  
the Australian business are sound and provide 
an excellent platform for growth, with annual 
recurring revenue (ARR) of $6.6m, up from  
$6.3m, and with expected growth due to the 
restructuring of pricing plans to a new tiered 
approach. In addition, MedAdvisor’s annualised 
churn of 5.0% represents an improvement on 
FY20, and the Lifetime Value to Cost of Acquisition 
ratio continues to improve. Overall, MedAdvisor  
is well placed to drive greater value through  
its stable and growing network of pharmacies, 
and deliver further benefits to its end users,  
the patients.

Improvements in Gross Margin

In respect of gross margin, MedAdvisor has  
a reported gross margin of 55.0%, which is  
down on a like‑for‑like basis 6.9% due to the 
impact of a change in channel mix for Adheris, 
and MedAdvisor re‑platforming its network  
to facilitate its global expansion. 

Adheris recorded a gross margin of 46% for  
the period post‑acquisition, whilst MedAdvisor 
recorded 80% for the 12 months ended 
30 June 2021, with an underlying gross margin  
of approximately 84% after adjusting for the 
one‑off re‑platforming costs. MedAdvisor is 
investing significantly in the transformation of 
Adheris’ product suite which will drive accretion 
in gross margin in calendar year 2022, which 
involves the digitisation of the network and 
extension of products to other participants  
in the market such as insurance payers.

Opex efficiency

The acquisition of Adheris has transformed 
MedAdvisor into a truly global medication 
adherence company. MedAdvisor continues to 
invest in developing its product and technology, 
as well as its capability in delivering solutions  
to its customers and patients. This is reflected  
in MedAdvisor’s operating cost base, which 
like‑for‑like has changed significantly  
post acquisition.

Reported operating costs of $39.6m included 
$2.0m for acquisition and related one‑off 
restructuring costs and amortisation of acquired 
intangibles of $1.4m. Operating costs after 
allowing for these items was $36.2m, up 12.5%  
on a like‑for‑like basis, driven by investments in 
digitising the US product suite, additional sales 
and IT infrastructure in the US, market entry for 
the UK, and providing additional capability in 
support functions to operate globally. 

Overall the EBITDA loss adjusted for leases  
and one off costs increased by $1.2m to $12.6m, 
on a like‑for‑like basis. This was driven by higher 
operating costs from the investments outlined 
above. Reported EBITDA (lease adjusted)  
was $14.6m.

2.  Overview of Executive remuneration

(a)  Remuneration principles

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 marketplace to support the attraction, motivation,  

and retention of executive talent.

(b)  Remuneration governance

The Board is responsible for:

•  Defining MedAdvisor’s remuneration strategy; and

•  Determining the structure and quantum of remuneration for the CEO and other executives that support and drive the 

achievement of MedAdvisor’s strategic objectives.

The Board has an overarching discretion with respect to the awards given under incentive plans and can adjust proposed 
incentive or vesting outcomes, subject to the applicable rules governing each incentive plan.

MedAdvisor Annual Report 2021  | 25

Remuneration Report

Continued

The People, Remuneration and Nominations Committee (PRNC) operates independently from management and may  
at its discretion appoint external advisors or instruct management to prepare and provide information as an input to its 
decision‑making process.

Given the Company’s stage of development, the Company may consider it appropriate to use equity‑based remuneration  
in lieu of cash to preserve capital and to retain and incentivise key executives and Directors. The Company will disclose terms 
and valuations of all equity awards, and provide a cogent explanation where the approach is different from those of more 
established companies.

Management provides information relevant to remuneration decisions and makes recommendations to the PRNC.

During the year the Committee appointed Aon Advisory Australia Pty Ltd to provide remuneration advisory services.  
Such services were provided to the Committee free from any undue influence by management.

(c)  Remuneration structure and framework

With the recent expansion in the USA, the Board recognises the need for a remuneration framework that will strike an 
appropriate balance between the need to attract and retain high calibre candidates from within this highly competitive 
market while still meeting the market and governance expectations of an ASX‑listed company.

The remuneration structure applicable to the Australian based key management personnel named in this Remuneration 
Report consists of fixed and variable at‑risk remuneration in the form of short and long‑term incentive opportunities.

The table below details the structure.

Remuneration 
component

Purpose

Fixed 
Remuneration

Fixed remuneration includes base salary, Superannuation contributions and other ordinarily paid 
benefits, allowances, and any applicable fringe benefits tax (FBT).

Set in consideration of the total overall remuneration package and the desired mix of fixed and 
‘at risk’ remuneration. Positioning of the remuneration for each executive, MedAdvisor will be guided  
by independent market remuneration analysis comprising similar sized companies, in similar 
industries operating in similar jurisdictions. Other factors that will be considered include the 
individual’s responsibilities, performance, qualifications, experience, and location as well as the 
strategic imperatives of the Company.

Short‑term 
incentives (STIs)

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 Key Performance Indicators 
(KPI’s) for the Executive Team are aligned with the Group’s short‑term objectives and overall strategy. 
Performance areas include:

•  Financial – revenues and operating results; and

•  Non‑financial – strategic and individual goals set for each executive having regard to their overall 

accountability and scope of influence.

The CEO STI opportunity for FY21, FY22 and FY23 will be provided through an award of STI Options 
approved at the 2020 AGM. The options are provided in lieu of a cash incentive for those years.  
Vesting of the options subject to performance hurdles for each year comprising a mix of financial, 
strategic and employee engagement metrics. The details of the STI options are described in  
Section 5.

For other KMP and Non‑KMP employees the STI awards are determined annually and may be  
delivered in cash and or equity subject to each participant achieving agreed Company and  
individual KPIs for the year.

The Board may, at its discretion, award bonuses for exceptional performance in relation to each 
person’s pre‑agreed KPIs.

Purpose

Long‑term 
incentives (LTIs)

Long‑term incentives ensure alignment of shareholder interests with executive interests by facilitating 
the meaningful accumulation of MedAdvisor shares upon successful achievement of pre‑determined 
long‑term business goals. The LTI is also expected to drive an ownership mentality in addition to 
providing a retention element to MedAdvisor’s remuneration structure.

Consistent with prevalent market practice for similar size technology companies at similar stage of 
development, LTI awards have, to date, been delivered through options and premium price options. 
Options granted to employees under the MedAdvisor Employee Incentive Option Plan vest subject  
to the service period and performance milestone conditions in accordance with the approved plan 
rules. Unvested options will lapse immediately on the termination of the individual’s employment or  
if a relevant vesting condition is not met. Vested options can be exercised at any time from the date  
of vesting until their designated expiry date.

The LTI grants to executive KMP during FY21 included:

•  CEO (Read) FY21 options – An award of 2.25 million options was approved at the 2020 AGM.  

These are described in Section 5 – CEO FY21 LTI Award.

3.  Statutory remuneration table

The amounts shown in this table are prepared in accordance with AASB 124 Related party disclosures and do not represent 
actual cash payment received by executives for the year ended 30 June 2021. Amounts shown under Share‑Based Awards 
reflect the accounting expense recorded during the year with respect to prior year awards that have or are yet to vest.

6.  Non‑Executive Director remuneration

The remuneration of Non‑Executive Directors (NEDs) is set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size 
and industry, and by reference to the Director’s skills and experience, as well as the time commitment expected of Directors.

Committees, either as Chairman of Members of those committees. Chris Ridd received an additional fee for chairing  
the Sales and Marketing Committee.

Indemnities given to, and insurance premiums paid for officers

The Company has indemnified the Directors and officers of the Company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a Director  
or officer, 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 officers of the 
Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

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 financial year, the Company’s auditor, RSM Australia Partners, provided services in relation to a R&D Tax Concession 
claim, other general tax advice and provision of a whistle‑blower service, valued at $61,961. They did not perform any other 
services in addition to this and their statutory audit duties.

Details of the amounts paid to RSM Australia Partners and its related practices for audit services provided during the year  
are set out in Note 28 to the financial statements.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non‑audit services by RSM Australia Partners during the financial year is 
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors  
are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 28 to the financial statements do not compromise the auditor’s 
independence for the following reasons:

(a)  all non‑audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 

of the auditor; and

(b)  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 ‘Code  
of Ethics for Professional Accountants’ issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision‑making capacity for the Company, 
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Auditor’s independence declaration

The auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 37  
and forms part of this report.

Auditor

RSM Australia Partners continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

This Directors’ report is made in accordance with a resolution of Directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the  
Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the Directors,

Your Health in Your HandsNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2021

1.  Statement of significant accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of MedAdvisor Limited. 
MedAdvisor Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on the 22 September 2021 by the Directors of the Company.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies  
are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards (AASB), Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board 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.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Accounting policies

(a)  Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. 
Financial information about the parent entity, MedAdvisor Limited, is disclosed in Note 26.

(b)  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all assets, liabilities and results of the parent MedAdvisor Limited and all  
of its subsidiaries (together, the Group). 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 23 of the Financial Statements.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are 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.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration 
transferred and the book value of the share of the non‑controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity 
attributable to the parent.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Continued

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities  
and non‑controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity.  
The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment  
retained together with any gain or loss through the Income Statement.

(c)  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 (CDM) that are used for making strategic 
decisions. The CDM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The CDM is responsible for the allocation of resources  
to operating segments and assessing their performance.

(d)  Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is MedAdvisor Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions:

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation 
at financial year‑end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised  
through the Income Statement.

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 through the Income Statement when the foreign operation or net investment  
is disposed of.

(e)  Revenue recognition

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled  
in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: 
identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction 
price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction 
price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand‑alone selling price of each distinct good  
or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that 
depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, 
rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates 
are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration 
is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a 
significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues 
until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject 
to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.

Your Health in Your HandsLicence fees

Licence fees are charged for the use of the MedAdvisor platform and the revenue recognised 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 health programs 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.

(f)  Income tax

The income tax expense (income) 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 as 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.

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.

MedAdvisor Annual Report 2021  | 45

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Continued

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.

(g)  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 realised within 12 months 
after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle  
a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non‑current.

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.

(h)  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.

(i)  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 allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 
30 days.

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance to measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

(j)  Work in progress

Work in progress on services contracts 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.

(k)  Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial 
measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either 
amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model 
within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting 
mismatch is being avoided. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have 
been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there 
is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they 
are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short‑term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated 
as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised through the Income Statement.

46

|  MedAdvisor Annual Report 2021

Your Health in Your HandsImpairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured 
at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon 
the consolidated entity’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument’s credit risk 
has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, 
without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12‑month expected credit 
loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset’s lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a 
default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is 
determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset’s lifetime expected credit 
losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value  
of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

(l)  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 through the Income Statement 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 (o) 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 through the Income Statement 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.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight‑line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

•  Computer and office equipment – 3 years;

•  Office furniture – 5 years; and

•  Leasehold improvements – 5 years or unexpired lease period if shorter.

(m)  Right‑of‑use assets

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 expected lease period. Where the Group 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.

MedAdvisor Annual Report 2021  | 47

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Continued

The Group 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.

(n)  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 amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised through the Income 
Statement 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 
amortisation 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.

Brands

Acquired brands represent the value of brands in acquired subsidiaries and businesses that are separately fair valued at the 
date of acquisition from the remaining goodwill. Brands are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.

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.

Relationships

Acquired customer and partner relationships represent the value attributed in acquired subsidiaries and businesses that are 
separately fair valued at the date of acquisition. Relationship assets are amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of 
their expected benefit. Relationships acquired by the Group have a finite life of 10 years.

Software

Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 5‑10 years.

(o)  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 through the Income Statement, 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.

Your Health in Your Hands(p)  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.

(q)  Lease liabilities

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.

(r)  Borrowings and finance costs

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs.  
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All other finance costs are expensed 
in the period in which they are incurred.

(s)  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 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.

(t)  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 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 through 
the Income Statement 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; and

•  From the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the 

reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised through the Income Statement. The ultimate cost of cash‑settled transactions  
is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are 
considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

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

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

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

(u)  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.

There are no assets and liabilities held at fair value on a recurring or non‑recurring basis.

Your Health in Your Hands(v)  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.

(w)  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 through the Income Statement.

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 through the Income Statement. 
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 
through the Income Statement 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.

(x)  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.

(y)  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.

(z)  New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

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. The consolidated entity’s 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the 
consolidated entity, are set out below.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early 
adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance 
on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing 
framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with 
under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under the revised 
framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the 
consolidated entity’s financial statements.

(aa)  Comparative figures

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation  
for the current financial year.

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 within the next financial year are discussed below.

COVID‑19 pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the 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, or subsequent to, the reporting date.

Your Health in Your Hands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 (‘CGUs’) 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.

Key assumptions

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

Australia

Value in use

USA

Years of 
cash flow

The pre‑tax discount rates 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 growth rates is prudent and justified based on current and expected growth  
in the business. Similarly, management believes that the projected increase in operating costs and overheads is prudent  
and justified based on the cost structure and control environment 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)  With all other assumptions remaining constant:

•  Revenue would need to decrease by more than 22.82% in the USA CGU before goodwill would need to be impaired; or

•  Gross margin would need to decrease by more than 1.65% in the Australia CGU before goodwill would need to  

be impaired.

(b)  With all other assumptions remaining constant:

•  the discount rate would be required to increase by more than 12.63% in the USA CGU before goodwill would need to  

be impaired; or

•  the discount rate would be required to increase by more than 4.5% in the Australia CGU before goodwill would need  

to be impaired.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Continued

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.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business 
activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $14,371,990 and had net cash outflows from 
operating activities of $12,543,952 for the year ended 30 June 2021. As at that date the consolidated entity had net current 
liabilities of $1,947,136.

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and that 
it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after consideration of the 
following factors:

•  The Directors have a cost reduction plan which will be executed from 1 October 2021 and it is estimated the plan will reduce 

staff and overhead costs by $4.8 million per annum.

•  Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Australian business has signed up Pharmacy Alliance Group adding 

additional annual recurring revenue.

•  Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the consolidated entity has entered into a supply chain financing 

arrangement with JP Morgan in relation to revenue with a key US customer. This arrangement will reduce the days 
outstanding on the collection of trade debtors.

•  The Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months from the date of this report, incorporating all of the 

above plans and events, which expects the consolidated entity to have a positive cash position.

•  As disclosed in Note 16 Borrowings, the consolidated entity has a facility for $5,325,600 ($USD 4 million) of which $299,762 
was drawn at 30 June 2021. The ability to utilise the facility is dependent on a calculation based the level of cash, trade 
debtors, unbilled debtors available to consolidated entity at the time of drawdown.

•  Should the Directors determine a capital raising is required, the Directors are confident this will be successful based on the 

proven ability and track record for the consolidated entity to access funding as required.

4.  Operating segments

The Board has determined that the Company has five reporting segments. The first being the business activities of the 
MedAdvisor medication management and adherence platform, followed by activities associated with operations in the USA, 
UK and Asia, and lastly 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.

Consideration transferred

The agreed acquisition purchase price for Adheris was USD 27,500,000 which included USD 5,000,000 of convertible notes  
issued to Syneos Health US, Inc on completion of the transaction. The purchase price was reduced by a net working capital 
adjustment of USD 1,687,389 reducing the net purchase price (including the convertible note) to USD 25,812,611, which equated  
to AUD 35,555,381. 

The purchase agreement also included an additional consideration of USD 7,000,000 payable in 2 parts, 6 and 18 months after 
settlement, on the condition of revenue targets being met as per the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The first revenue earn‑out 
of USD 4,000,000 was settled in May 2021. The second revenue earn‑out of USD 3,000,000 is dependent on Adheris meeting 
certain revenue criteria. Management expect to pay the maximum pay‑out in relation the second earn‑out consideration,  
due in May 2022.

Goodwill on acquisition

Subsequent to the settlement of the Adheris transaction, the provisional goodwill was independently valued and allocated 
against identifiable intangible assets with the residual allocated to Goodwill. Adopting the Mid‑Purchase Price Allocation

27.  Financial risk management

MedAdvisor’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk.

The Directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets whilst 
minimising potential adverse side 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.

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade receivable and payables, and borrowings. 
Totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 9 as detailed in the accounting policies 
to these financial statements, are as follows:

Exposure to interest risk arises on financial instruments whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows 
or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.

The Group has minimal exposure to interest rate fluctuations as its loan facility, as outlined in note 16, is at a fixed interest rate 
of 10.25% (2020: n/a).

Your Health in Your Hands(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 Group manages this risk through the preparation of forward‑looking cash 
flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities. Borrowing facilities are in place to enable the 
Group to borrow funds when necessary.

(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 Group.

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 Group’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 allowance for Expected Credit Loss) 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 10.

(d) 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. The consolidated entity the foreign exchange risk to be low and has not entered into any forward foreign 
exchange contracts.

The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the 
reporting date were as follows:

The consolidated entity had net assets denominated in foreign currencies of $836,151 as at 30 June 2021 (2020: $1,235,940). 
Based on this exposure, had the Australian dollar weakened by 5% (2020: 5%) against these foreign currencies with all other 
variables held constant, the consolidated entity’s loss before tax for the year would have been $41,808 lower (2020: $61,797 
lower). The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, which is based on management’s 
assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations taking into consideration movements over the last 6 months each year and 
the spot rate at each reporting date. The realised foreign exchange gain recognised through the Income Statement for the 
year ended 30 June 2021 was $27,705 (2020: $52,208 loss).

Your Health in Your Hands(e) Price risk

The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.

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.

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

80

|  MedAdvisor Annual Report 2021

Your Health in Your Hands      INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT  To the Members of MedAdvisor Limited  Opinion  We have audited the financial report of MedAdvisor Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, 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.  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 Group's financial position as at 30 June 2021 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 APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.   We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  Key Audit Matters  Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  MedAdvisor Annual Report 2021  | 81

 Key Audit Matters (continued)  Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Impairment of Intangible Assets  Refer to Note 14 in the financial statements   The Group has Intangible Assets of $54,546,789 as at 30 June 2021. We identified this area as a Key Audit Matter due to the size of the Intangible Assets 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 rate applied to them.  For the year ended 30 June 2021, management have performed an impairment assessment over the Intangible Assets balance by: • Identifying the CGU’s to which the intangible asset belongs;  • Calculating the value in use of each CGU using a discounted cash flow model. These models used cash flows (revenues, expenses and capital expenditure) for the CGU for 5 years, with a terminal growth rate applied to the 5th year.  These cash flows were then discounted to net present value using the CGU specific weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”); and • Comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU to their respective book values. 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.  Our audit procedures in relation to management’s impairment assessment included: • Assessing management’s determination of the CGUs to which the Intangible Assets is allocated; • Assessing the valuation methodology used; • Challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions, including the cash flow projections, revenue growth rates, discount rates, and sensitivities used;  • Checking the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow model, and reconciling input data to supporting evidence such as approved budgets, and considering the reasonableness of these budgets; and • Reviewing the accuracy of disclosures of critical estimates and assumptions in the financial statements in relation to the valuation methodologies.    Independent Auditor’s Report

Your Health in Your Hands Key Audit Matters (continued)  Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Acquisition Accounting  Refer to Note 24 in the financial statements On 17 November 2020 the Group completed the 100% acquisition of US company, Adheris LLC.  Management determined the acquisition to be a business combination under AASB 3 Business Combinations.  The terms of the share purchase agreement involved the transfer of cash consideration and included contingent consideration. The purchase price must be allocated between the acquired assets and liabilities, at their respective fair values, with any difference recognised as goodwill on consolidation. This acquisition 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, contingent consideration payable and the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired.  Our audit procedures included, among others: • Obtaining the share purchase agreements and other associated documents to understand the key terms and conditions, and ensuring that the transaction has been accounted for in compliance with AASB 3; • Substantively testing the cash consideration transferred against bank statements; • Reviewing the reasonableness of the valuation of the contingent consideration payable; • Assessing the accuracy and completeness of the fair values of the identified assets and liabilities acquired;  • Reviewing the work performed by management’s experts on the valuation of the identified tangible and intangible assets and the reasonableness of underlying assumptions in their respective valuations; with reference to the requirements of ASA 500 Audit Evidence, which establishes mandatory requirements in relation to using the work of a management's expert; and • Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in respect of the business acquisition to ensure it was in line with AASB 3.    MedAdvisor Annual Report 2021  | 83

 Key Audit Matters (continued)  Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Recognition of Revenue Refer to Note 5 in the financial statements The Group receives revenue from three core income streams, and the accounting for each of these differs. While SaaS Revenue from subscriptions are not complex and do not involve significant management judgements, the recognition of revenue generated from Transaction and Development Fees and Health Programs involves management estimates around the timing of delivery of services. Revenue recognition was considered a Key Audit Matter due to the materiality and significance of the balance. Our audit procedures in relation to the recognition of revenue included: • Assessing whether the Group’s revenue recognition policies were in compliance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers; • Evaluating the operating effectiveness of management’s controls related to revenue recognition; • Performing substantive analytical review procedures on the SaaS Revenue stream; • Performing detailed testing on a sample of contracts with customers and assessing the revenue recognised to various elements in the contracts; and • Reviewing revenue transactions before and after year-end to ensure that revenue is recognised in the correct period.  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 2021 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.    Independent Auditor’s Report

Your Health in Your Hands 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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.
