A Milestone Year For MVP 
JOHN SHARMAN
CEO
DAVID WILLIAMS
CHAIRMAN
Medical Developments International Limited. (“MVP”) (ASX: MVP) 
delivered a Net Profit after Tax of $1.529 million for the year ended 
30 June 2015. Sales grew 24% to $11.608m, whilst Earnings Before 
Interest and Tax grew 191% to $2.251 million. 
In May it was announced that the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) had issued the Final 
Assessment Report with the support of France, Belgium and Ireland authorities noting all outstanding issues pursuant to the 
Decentralised Procedure have been successfully resolved and Penthrox® is approvable. We are currently working through the 
National Phase which is the final step in the ultimate approval of Penthrox® for sale in these markets. We estimate there are 
50 million Accident & Emergency hospital attendances each year across these countries. 
Elsewhere in the world, our Regulatory Dossier, used in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Ireland has already been 
submitted or is in the process of being submitted to regulatory agencies in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Singapore, Mexico, 
Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan and Iran. We expect regulatory approvals to sell Penthrox® in these markets to be granted over 
the course of the next 12–18 months. 
The company is now also focusing on getting Penthrox® approved for sale in the USA. Our initial advice is that our Regulatory 
Dossier can be used as the basis for our submission to the FDA. We are in the process of appointing a US regulatory 
consultant to help us through this process.
Overall sales of asthma devices across our markets in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America increased by 36% 
in FY15. A key feature of this growth was in Europe, where focused sales efforts drove growth in the region by 172%.  
North American asthma device sales grew 593%, aided by the appointment of a Canadian based General Manager of Sales.  
We expect further sales shortly into this largely untapped market as a result of further FDA 510(k) submissions and approvals.

Review of 
Operations
Pharmaceuticals
All segments of our Penthrox® business performed strongly 
and sales of Penthrox® grew 32% compared to FY14. 
Sales to our Ambulance business grew by 22% and sales 
to Hospitals and General Practitioners grew 32%. Sales for 
our Dental business grew 67% which is the result of our 
business partner expanding our presence in this market.
Internationally we made our first sales to South Africa in 
FY15. We expect South Africa to be a significant market for 
Penthrox®. Sales in the Middle East grew 118%.
Clinical Developments
MVP continues its program of developing applications for 
Penthrox®. Additional clinical trials are planned which may 
open up new areas of use for Penthrox®. During the year  
we have directly and indirectly progressed the following 
clinical studies:
•  A psychomotor function study undertaken at Royal  
Adelaide Hospital aimed at demonstrating that the 
use of Penthrox® would not impair a patient’s ability 
to drive or operate machinery is in its final stages 
with patient recruitment completed in June 2015. 
The results indicate Penthrox® induces an acute but 
short-lasting impairment of psychomotor and cognitive 
performance, which returns to normal within 30 minutes 
after inhalation. This is a significant result for Penthrox® 
and means that patients do not require longer term 
monitoring after the administration of Penthrox®, and 
patients can be safely returned to tasks that require 
high psychomotor skills such as driving 30 minutes 
after cessation of Penthrox®, which is a very significant 
advantage over all of its narcotic competitors.
•  An active comparative trial in Singapore, which 
compares the benefits of intramuscular Tramadol 
v Penthrox® in an Ambulance setting. This trial 
is progressing well with recruitment having been 
completed. Interim results are very positive for 
Penthrox® and we expect this trial will be completed 
towards the end of 2015.
•  We are developing three additional clinical trials in 2015 
which will support our marketing efforts in Europe  
and elsewhere.
Commercialisation
SOUTH AFRICA
After receiving approval to sell Penthrox® in South Africa 
in June 2014, we made our first sales to South Africa in 
FY15. We expect South Africa will be a significant market for 
Penthrox® and should grow significantly in FY16. 
EUROPE
MVP is finalising contracts with a significant pharmaceutical 
company having expertise in pain management products to 
distribute Penthrox®. 
UK AND IRELAND
MVP entered into an exclusive Distribution, License and 
Supply Agreement with Galen Limited to supply Penthrox® 
in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Sales to Galen are 
expected in the first half of FY16.
USA
MVP has commenced the process of reviewing the 
necessary steps to get Penthrox® approved for sale in the 
USA including the appointment of professional advisors.  
The USA approval will become a key priority in FY16  
and beyond.
RUSSIA
We have been working on our Russian Registration Dossier 
to have Penthrox® approved for sale In Russia for more 
than two years. The Russian Registration Dossier has been 
6
Medical Developments International Limitedreviewed by experts and our application lodged with the 
Ministry of Health for Russia. 
EASTERN EUROPE AND MIDDLE EAST
We have achieved very significant sales success in the  
Middle East. Our business grew by 118% and is showing 
signs of further growth potential in FY16. In Eastern Europe 
our business performed below expectations with sales 
falling 17%. This is mainly due to the political unrest in the 
region and we expect this business to recover in FY16. 
AUSTRALIA
Domestically, sales to Ambulance increased 22%  
during the year due to growth across all mainland states  
and territories. 
of doctors and pharmacies in the UK with medical devices. 
We have also made progress on mainland Europe with sales 
growing 93%. 
We expect further very significant sales and profitability 
growth in our European/UK Respiratory Device business 
during FY16.
NEW ZEALAND
Our New Zealand business grew 17% in FY15. 
ASIA
We have increased our presence and marketing efforts 
throughout Asia and sales into this region grew 8% year  
on year. We expect further growth in FY16.

Medical Devices: 
Respiratory
Overall Respiratory sales have increased 42% in FY15.
AUSTRALIA
Our Australian respiratory business has rebounded well  
from a difficult FY14 and with sales increasing 13%.  
Much of FY15 growth can be attributed to our spacer  
range now being stocked in Australia’s two largest retail  
pharmacy chains. 
NORTH AMERICA
Our North American Respiratory business has grown 
significantly in FY15, increasing by 593% as a result of our 
distributors success in winning more tenders and increasing 
their range of MVP respiratory products sold in the market. 
Our “anti-static” Compact Space Chamber Plus products 
are expected to be approved by the FDA shortly and having 
a full range of our respiratory products approved and 
available for sale is expected to deliver further significant 
growth in FY16. 
Our initial assessment of the USA market is that there are 
approximately 20 million space chamber devices sold each 
year. Our products are amongst the world’s best and our 
ambition is to win significant market share over the  
coming years. 
EUROPE 
Our business in Europe (including the UK) was profitable 
for the first time since established. Respiratory sales grew 
172% in FY15. During FY15, MVP entered into an exclusive 
agreement with PSUK to supply its range of respiratory 
devices in the UK. The agreement includes minimum 
quantities for 3 years that will drive ongoing sales growth 
of respiratory devices in the UK. PSUK supply the majority 
Vet
Our Vet business declined 11% in FY15. However we 
achieved a significant improvement in H2FY15 because we 
opened new markets in China and South East Asia. Our 
increased sales efforts and continued fall in the Australian 
dollar is expected to further help our export business  
in FY16.
Research and 
Development
During FY15 we completed the final stage of constructing 
our commercial scale plant for the new methoxyflurane 
manufacturing process. Three validation batches using the 
new process were completed under production conditions. 
This initiative will revolutionise our manufacturing process 
and transform the cost base for Penthrox®. In addition to 
valuable intellectual property, this project will create ongoing 
options for innovation and growth which previously did  
not exist.
Operating Expenses
During the year, the Company invested heavily in our 
regulatory, product development, sales, marketing and 
research and development teams. The investment in 
clinical studies, research and development and product 
development has been capitalised to intangible assets where 
appropriate. 
The Company will invest in additional studies in FY16 to 
support both the European registration and the company 
plans to pursue opportunities in North America.
We received a $0.282 million R&D tax incentive refund 
during the year and a further $0.133 million is expected in 
the coming months in relation to FY15.

Dividend
No dividends are declared.
Outlook
Our ambition is to make Penthrox® a main stream analgesic 
of choice around the world and our Respiratory Devices 
leaders in the field. 
Penthrox® is a category leading drug in Australia and we 
expect it can dominate many of the trauma and minor 
surgical procedure markets around the world. With the 
completion of our Regulatory Dossier, a number of licensing 
deals successfully concluded and with the successful 
completion of our CSIRO manufacturing project, we have 
the base to make MVP a global pharmaceutical company.
The growth experienced in asthma device sales in FY15 
will be built on in FY16 as a result of growth within existing 
customer accounts, new product registrations and new 
overseas market opportunities in the USA and Europe. 
FY15 has been an improved year in terms of sales and profit. 
However FY16 and beyond should see the flow through 
results of new global registrations, licensing deals and  
recent staff hires, combining to deliver further sales and 
profit growth.
We would like to thank our staff and our trading partners  
for their efforts and support.

the promotional focus into the Australian Ambulance 
services ensuring that the strong positioning of Penthrox® is 
maintained. Moving forward, the strategy is to continue to

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
MVP’s Space Chamber is well known in the market place as 
the ‘Rolls Royce’ brand and it offers the greatest opportunity 
for future growth in the Asthma devices market. To assist 
in future growth MVP has developed new and improved 
Space Chambers to assist with differentiation and local and 
international penetration.

product range, to build on the solid foundation that has 
been established with our current partnerships in Australia 
and overseas. At the same time MVP will develop new 
collaborations for future growth. Core to the growth is the 
development of new and improved models of:
•  Asthma/COPD Space Chambers
•  Peak Flow Meters
•  Portable Nebulisers
•  Pulse Oximeter
• 
Face Masks
•  Tourniquets
•  Emergency Medicine consumable equipment
ASTHMA DEVICES
MVP’s Asthma devices business has been strong for many 
years and continues to provide solid sales and profit.
The success of this business over recent years has been 
due to four factors:

partner in New Zealand
•  The strength of the Allersearch brand in Australian 
Hospitals and Pharmacies and our distribution partner
•  The growth of the OAPL sales in Hospitals and 
Pharmacies within Australia
•  Growing sales of our range of Asthma products through 
established international partners and new customers

new products a specifically tailored catalogue and promotion 
via our Australian distributor will assist future sales growth.

Corporate 
Governance 
Statement
The Board of Directors is 
ultimately responsible for  
all matters relating to the 
running of the company and  
is committed to implementing 
the highest standards of 
corporate governance. 
The Board’s role is to govern the organisation rather than 
manage it. It is the purpose of senior management to 
manage the organisation in accordance with the direction of 
the Board. The Board is responsible for:
• 
setting the goals of the company, including short-term, 
medium-term and long-term objectives;
•  providing the overall strategic direction of the company;
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
appointing and approving the terms and conditions of 
the Chief Executive Officer and reviewing their ongoing 
performance;
endorsing the terms and conditions of senior executives 
through the Remuneration Committee;
establishing and determining the powers and functions 
of the committees of the board, including the Audit & 
Risk Committee and the Remuneration Committee; 
reviewing the Board’s structure and performance 
from time to time and making decisions on new 
appointments to the Board;
approving the annual budget and long-term budgets;
approving all mergers and acquisitions, and property 
acquisitions and disposals;
the issue of any shares, options, equity instruments or 
other securities in MVP or its subsidiaries;
•  determining the ethos of the company and ensuring that 
the group adheres to appropriate standards and values 
and applicable laws; and
• 
representing the interests of shareholders.
To assist in the execution of these responsibilities, the Board 
has two Board Committees being:
• 
an Audit and Risk Committee (Mr P Powell (Chairman 
who joined on 17 December 2014) and Mr M Johnston). 
Mr Johnston was Chairman of the Audit and Risk 
Committee from July to December 2014 during which 
time David Williams was also a member up until the 
appointment of Mr P Powell; and
• 
a Remuneration and Nominations Committee (Mr D 
Williams and Mr A McCallum).
All other functions of the Board will be dealt with by 
the Board as a whole. However, from time to time, the 
Board may determine to establish specific purpose sub-
committees to deal with specific issues.
Share trading
The Board has adopted a share trading policy for Directors 
and officers of the company. The Policy regulates dealings 
17
Annual Financial Report 2015by Medical Developments International Limited (“MVP”) 
directors, officers and employees in MVP securities.
The standards and conduct adopted by the Board reflect, 
where applicable, the standards for Corporate Governance 
as provided in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles 
established by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. 
The following sections summarise MVP’s compliance 
with these principles. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, 
the Directors believe MVP complies with the Corporate 
Governance Council’s recommendations. 
Principle 1: Lay 
solid foundations for 
management and 
oversight
Duties of the Board and of management are clearly 
segregated and stated in the company’s Corporate 
Governance Manual. The Board’s role and responsibilities 
are also summarised above. Senior executives are evaluated 
by the remuneration committee annually, based on the 
company’s performance and specific key performance 
indicators set for the respective senior executive. 
All senior executive appointments involve a formal written 
agreement that is reviewed and signed off on by both the 
CEO and relevant Executive.
The Board undertakes formal interviews and reference 
checks to assess the appropriateness of all candidates. 
Information relevant to the decision on whether or not to 
elect or re-elect a director is summarised within the Annual 
General Meeting Notice of Meeting which is sent to all 
security holders and also released to the ASX and published 
on the company website.
Individual agreements with each of the directors do not 
exist, however the duties and obligations of Directors are 
specifically outlined in the Corporate Governance Manual 
and the remuneration of Directors is addressed at least 
annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
The Company Secretary reports to the Chairman on all 
Board functioning and Corporate Governance related 
matters. The Company Secretary attends Board  
meetings and has input into materials distributed as part  
of these meetings. Furthermore, Corporate Governance 
related matters are addressed as a specific agenda at  
Board meetings.
RECOMMENDATION 1.5-1.6
Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity 
and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The 
policy should include requirements for the board to establish 
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and 
for the board to assess annually both the objectives and 
progress in achieving them.
The Company has established and disclosed (on its website) 
its Diversity Policy in accordance with the recommendation. 
Companies should disclose in each annual report the 
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set 
by the board in accordance with the Diversity Policy and 
progress towards achieving them.
The Board believes in the value of diversity but does not 
believe that given the size of the company and the resources 
available to it, that formalising measurable objectives for 
achieving gender diversity is appropriate. As the company 
grows, the Board will continue to monitor the Diversity Policy 
including formalising measurable objectives for achieving 
gender diversity.
While there is currently no gender diversity on the Board, the 
Board is made up of individuals from various professions, 
cultures, and backgrounds.
The Company’s workforce is comprised of three distinct 
employee groups:
1.  Employees engaged in senior management roles which 
constitutes 28% of the workforce;
2.  Employees engaged in middle management roles which 
constitutes 10% of the workforce; and
3.  Employees engaged in tier three level activities such as 
production, sales, and administration type roles which 
constitutes 62% of the workforce.
Principle 2: Structure  
the Board to add value
The directors believe that the composition, size and 
commitment of the Board will allow it to effectively discharge 
its responsibilities and duties. To this end, currently five of the 
six Board members are independent under the definition of 
the Council. Furthermore, while the Chairman, Mr Williams is 
not considered independent under the Council definition and 
thus recommendation 2.2 is not followed, the Board does 
not believe that Mr Williams being a substantial shareholder 
has had or will have any adverse impact on the conduct of 
MVP’s affairs or the representation of the interests of other 
shareholders. Furthermore, the roles of Chairman and CEO 
are not exercised by the same individual.
A formal Board skills matrix is not presented, however the 
Annual Report contains key details regarding each Boards 
members qualifications, career experience and other 
appointments.
The company has no formal process for evaluating the 
performance of its Board, committees and individual 
18
Medical Developments International LimitedDirectors. As such, recommendation 1.6 is not followed. 
Instead the Board uses regular informal assessments to 
evaluate its performance.
To further ensure Directors can fulfil their obligations, the 
Board has adopted a policy, contained in the company’s 
corporate governance manual that allows directors to  
take independent professional advice, at the expense of  
the company.
The information required by recommendation 2.2 regarding 
the skills, experience and expertise of the individual Directors 
is included in the Director’s Report and is not repeated here.
The Board has established a two member Remuneration 
and Nominations committee as suggested by 
recommendation 2.1. Whilst this is less than the three 
required by recommendation 2.1 & 8.1, the Board believes 
a three member committee is impractical given the overall 
size of the Board. A formal charter does not exist, however 
all Board members are consulted on the appropriateness of 
new Board candidates to ensure a diverse balance of skills, 
knowledge and experience is achieved to enable the Board 
to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.
Principle 3: Promote 
ethical and responsible 
decision-making
The Board actively promotes ethical and responsible 
decision-making. 
Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose 
the code or a summary of the code as to the practices 
necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s 
integrity; the practices necessary to take into account their 
legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their 
stakeholders; and the responsibility and accountability  
of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of 
unethical practices.
The Company has established and disclosed (in its Induction 
Handbook) its Code of Conduct in accordance with this 
recommendation. The Code of Conduct applies to Directors, 
managers and employees of the Company. The Code of 
Conduct is reviewed as necessary to ensure it reflects the 
high ethical standards of conduct necessary to maintain 
confidence in the Company’s integrity.
The Board has implemented and disclosed a share 
trading policy covering Directors, senior executives and 
employees. The Directors are aware of their responsibility 
to communicate any share trading to the company, and the 
company notifies the ASX of any share transactions within 
the allowed five business days.
The Board has adopted a policy for trading in Medical 
Developments International securities by Directors and 
employees. The purpose of this policy is to define the 
circumstances in which Directors, employees and any 
associates are permitted to deal in securities. The updated 
policy addresses each of the ASX requirements including 
provisions relating to the prohibition of trading by directors 
and senior management in the Company’s securities during 
defined periods.
Principle 4: Safeguard 
integrity in financial 
reporting
The Board has ensured there is a structure in place to 
independently verify and safeguard the integrity of the 
company’s financial reporting.
The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee 
comprised of two non-executive Directors. While this is less 
than the three required by recommendation 4.2 & 7.1, the 
Board believes a three member committee is impractical 
given the overall size of the Board and that the current 
composition of the committee allows it to discharge its 
mandate effectively. The Committee’s Charter is contained 
within the company’s Corporate Governance manual and 
also included on the company’s website.
Principle 5: Make timely 
and balanced disclosures
The company has put in place mechanisms designed 
to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing rules and 
Corporations Act requirements regarding continuous 
disclosure. The Corporate Governance Manual details the 
company policy and all management staff are made aware 
of it. The company is committed to ensuring all market 
participants have equal access to information and so 
updates and presentations continue to be provided to the 
ASX and posted on the company website. If a presentation 
contains information that is not public and may have a 
material effect on the share price, the material is sent to the 
ASX prior to the presentation being made.
Principle 6: Respect the 
rights of shareholders
A formal documented investor relations program does not 
exist. However the CEO holds regular investor roadshows 
and information presented at such roadshows is also 
released to the market. Furthermore, both the Chairman and

Annual Financial Report 2015 
 
 
CEO make themselves available to take calls directly from 
investors and their contact details are provided within each 
ASX announcement. 
The Board of Directors has adopted a policy to ensure 
that shareholders are informed of all major developments 
affecting MVP in a timely manner. In accordance with  
this policy, information is communicated in a variety of  
ways including:
•  A half-yearly report containing summarised financial 
information and a review of operations
•  An annual report with detailed financial information  
and review of the operations of the company and  
future outlook
•  Updates on operations and developments lodged with 
the ASX
•  A comprehensive website carrying the latest news and 
containing an investor relations section which includes 
corporate governance information and an archive of 
periodic reports and ASX releases.
MVP has functionality within its existing website to collect 
investor email addresses to then have those included on 
a key company announcement email distribution list. The 
website also contains a detailed ‘Contact Us’ page which 
enables investors to contact MVP via a number of different 
mediums. Security holders also have the option to receive 
and communicate with MVP electronically via the security 
registry (currently Computershare). 
The external auditor is required to attend the Annual General 
Meeting and is available to answer questions. Furthermore, 
the company encourages shareholders to attend the Annual 
General Meeting and ask questions. 
Principle 7: Recognise 
and manage risk
The management of risk is considered by the Audit and Risk 
Committee. The Board determines whether management 
has developed and implemented a sound system of risk 
management and internal control and this review has again 
taken place in FY15.
The Chief Executive Officer and Group Financial Controller 
state to the Board in writing that there is a sound system of 
risk management and internal compliance and control within 
the company and that this system operates effectively in 
ensuring that financial reporting risks are managed such that 
the declaration required by s.295A of the Corporations Act 
can be provided.
The Company does not have its own internal audit function 
as it is considered impractical for a company the size of 
MVP to have one. Instead risk management and internal 
control matters are addressed as part of the Audit and Risk 
Committee Charter.
Principle 8: Remunerate 
fairly and responsibly
The Board has established a Remuneration committee to 
ensure Directors, executives and staff are remunerated 
appropriately. The committee reviews remuneration 
packages at least annually in the light of market conditions, 
performance of the individual and the performance of the 
company. The Remuneration report contained within the 
Director’s Report includes considerable detail on the current 
remuneration of directors and executives including how 
performance conditions for performance related payments 
are chosen and assessed.
Diversity
The Company has established a policy concerning diversity 
which is available on its website. The policy outlines the 
Company’s commitment to diversity, which is underpinned 
by the following key principles:
•  Attracting, engaging and retaining a talented and 
diverse workforce;
•  Recognising the need for workplace flexibility to  
support the role employees at all levels have outside  
of the workplace;
• 
Improving the quality of decision-making, creativity, 
productivity and teamwork;
•  Enhancing service delivery through a workforce that 
respects and reflects the diversity of our customers;
•  Building and maintaining a safe work environment by 
taking action against inappropriate behaviour (including 
discrimination, harassment, bullying, victimisation and 
vilification); and 
• 
Facilitating equal employment opportunities by 
considering a broad and diverse talent pool and  
making decisions based on merit, ability, performance 
and potential.
The Company’s Diversity Policy outlines the following key 
areas of focus:
•  Conducting recruitment in a structured manner 
consistent with Equal Employment Opportunity 
principles and the objectives of this policy;
20
Medical Developments International Limited•  Undertaking structured talent management and 
succession planning reviews;
•  Undertaking targeted diversity, culture and  
engagement initiatives;
•  Establishing and reviewing appropriate and aligned 
human resource policies and procedures; and
•  Consistent messaging in internal communication.
Annual reporting on the 
Company’s Diversity 
Policy and proportion of 
women
There is one woman currently in a senior management  
role. Overall women represent 48% of the workforce of  
the Company.
The Company has implemented a strategy designed 
to increase the representation of women at the senior 
management level. 
To aid in the attraction and retention of female employees, 
the Company has carer’s leave in place as well as making 
part-time work available. The Company always seeks 
to accommodate individual circumstances to ensure all 
employees can manage their work-life balance.

Principal Activities
The company’s principal activities during the course of the 
financial year were the manufacture and distribution of a 
pharmaceutical drug and medical and veterinary equipment. 
Review of Operations
FY15 was a year of significant investment in the future 
of our business. The investment in our regulatory, sales, 
manufacturing, product development and research teams 
was significant. 
Pharmaceuticals
All segments of our Penthrox® business performed strongly 
and sales of Penthrox® grew 32% compared to FY14.  
Sales to our Ambulance business grew by 22% and sales 
to Hospitals and General Practitioners grew 32%. Sales for 
our Dental business grew 67% which is the result of our 
business partner expanding our presence in this market.
Internationally we made our first sales to South Africa in 
FY15. We expect South Africa to be a significant market  
for Penthrox®. Sales in the Middle East grew 118%.
Clinical Developments
MVP continues its program of developing applications for 
Penthrox®. Additional clinical trials are planned which may 
open up new areas of use for Penthrox®. During the year we 
have directly and indirectly progressed the following clinical 
studies:
•  A psychomotor function study undertaken at Royal 
Adelaide Hospital aimed at demonstrating that the 
use of Penthrox® would not impair a patient’s ability 
to drive or operate machinery is in its final stages 
with patient recruitment completed in June 2015. 
The results indicate Penthrox® induces an acute but 
short-lasting impairment of psychomotor and cognitive 
performance, which returns to normal within 30 minutes 
after inhalation. This is a significant result for Penthrox® 
and means that patients do not require longer term 
monitoring after the administration of Penthrox®, and 
patients can be safely returned to tasks that require 
high psychomotor skills such as driving 30 minutes 
after cessation of Penthrox®, which is a very significant 
advantage over all of its narcotic competitors.

Annual Financial Report 2015 
•  An active comparative trial in Singapore, which 
AUSTRALIA
compares the benefits of intramuscular Tramadol 
v Penthrox® in an Ambulance setting. This trial 
is progressing well with recruitment having been 
completed. Interim results are very positive for 
Penthrox® and we expect this trial will be completed 
towards the end of 2015.
•  We are developing three additional clinical trials in  
2015 which will support our marketing efforts in Europe 
and elsewhere.
Domestically, sales to Ambulance increased 22%  
during the year due to grow across all mainland states  
and territories. 
Medical Devices: 
Respiratory
Overall Respiratory sales have increased 42% in FY15.
Commercialisation
AUSTRALIA
SOUTH AFRICA
After receiving approval to sell Penthrox® in South Africa 
in June 2014, we made our first sales to South Africa in 
FY15. We expect South Africa will be a significant market for 
Penthrox® and should grow significantly in FY16. 
EUROPE
MVP is finalising contracts with a significant pharmaceutical 
company having expertise in pain management products to 
distribute Penthrox®. 
UK AND IRELAND
MVP entered into an exclusive Distribution, License and 
Supply Agreement with Galen Limited to supply Penthrox® 
in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Sales to Galen are 
expected in the first half of FY16.
USA
MVP has commenced the process of reviewing the 
necessary steps to get Penthrox® approved for sale in the 
USA including the appointment of professional advisors.  
The USA approval will become a key priority in FY16  
and beyond.
RUSSIA
We have been working on our Russian Registration Dossier 
to have Penthrox® approved for sale In Russia for more 
than two years. The Russian Registration Dossier has been 
reviewed by experts and our application lodged with the 
Ministry of Health for Russia. 
EASTERN EUROPE AND MIDDLE EAST
We have achieved very significant sales success in the 
Middle East. Our business grew by 118% and is showing 
signs of further growth potential in FY16. In Eastern Europe 
our business performed below expectations with sales 
falling 17%. This is mainly due to the political unrest in the 
region and we expect this business to recover in FY16. 
Our Australian respiratory business has rebounded well  
from a difficult FY14 and with sales increasing 13%. Much  
of FY15 growth can be attributed to our spacer range  
now being stocked in Australia’s two largest retail  
pharmacy chains. 
NORTH AMERICA
Our North American Respiratory business has grown 
significantly in FY15, increasing by 593% as a result of our 
distributors success in winning more tenders and increasing 
their range of MVP respiratory products sold in the market. 
Our “anti-static” Compact Space Chamber Plus products 
are expected to be approved by the FDA shortly and having 
a full range of our respiratory products approved and 
available for sale is expected to deliver further significant 
growth in FY16. 
Our initial assessment of the USA market is that there are 
approximately 20 million space chamber devices sold  
each year. Our products are amongst the world’s best  
and our ambition is to win significant market share over  
the coming years. 
EUROPE 
Our business in Europe (including the UK) was profitable 
for the first time since established. Respiratory sales grew 
172% in FY15. During FY15, MVP entered into an exclusive 
agreement with PSUK to supply its range of respiratory 
devices in the UK. The agreement includes minimum 
quantities for 3 years that will drive ongoing sales growth 
of respiratory devices in the UK. PSUK supply the majority 
of doctors and pharmacies in the UK with medical devices. 
We have also made progress on mainland Europe with sales 
growing 93%. 
We expect further very significant sales and profitability 
growth in our European/UK Respiratory Device business 
during FY16.
NEW ZEALAND
Our New Zealand business grew 17% in FY15. 
24
Medical Developments International LimitedASIA
We have increased our presence and marketing efforts 
throughout Asia and sales into this region grew 8% year on 
year. We expect further growth in FY16.
Vet
Our Vet business declined 11% in FY15. However we 
achieved a significant improvement in H2FY15 because  
we opened new markets in China and South East Asia.  
Our increased sales efforts and continued fall in the 
Australian dollar is expected to further help our export 
business in FY16.
Research and 
Development
During FY15 we completed the final stage of constructing 
our commercial scale plant for the new methoxyflurane 
manufacturing process. Three validation batches using the 
new process were completed under production conditions. 
This initiative will revolutionise our manufacturing process 
and transform the cost base for Penthrox®. In addition to 
valuable intellectual property, this project will create ongoing 
options for innovation and growth which previously did  
not exist.
Operating Expenses
During the year, the Company invested heavily in our 
regulatory, product development, sales, marketing and 
research and development teams. The investment in 
clinical studies, research and development and product 
development has been capitalised to intangible assets  
where appropriate. 
The Company will invest in additional studies in FY16 to 
support both the European registration and the company 
plans to pursue opportunities in North America.
We received a $0.282 million R&D tax incentive refund 
during the year and a further $0.133 million is expected  
in the coming months in relation to FY15.
Dividend
No dividends are declared.
Outlook
Our ambition is to make Penthrox® a main stream analgesic 
of choice around the world and our Respiratory Devices 
leaders in the field. 
Penthrox® is a category leading drug in Australia and we 
expect it can dominate many of the trauma and minor 
surgical procedure markets around the world. With the 
completion of our Regulatory Dossier, a number of licensing 
deals successfully concluded and with the successful 
completion of our CSIRO manufacturing project, we have 
the base to make MVP a global pharmaceutical company.
The growth experienced in asthma device sales in FY15 
will be built on in FY16 as a result of growth within existing 
customer accounts, new product registrations and new 
overseas market opportunities in the USA and Europe. 
FY15 has been an improved year in terms of sales and profit. 
However FY16 and beyond should see the flow through 
results of new global registrations, licensing deals and  
recent staff hires, combining to deliver further sales and 
profit growth.
Financial Position
The capital structure of the Group remained stable during 
the period. 
• 
Interest bearing liabilities at 30 June 2015 total 
$1,111,000; and
•  The key financial covenants attached to this debt facility 
include current, debt cover and operating leverage 
ratios and there are no forecasted breaches in the 
coming 12 month period. 
Changes in State of 
Affairs
During the financial year there was no significant change in 
the state of affairs of the company other than that referred to 
in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Subsequent Events
There has not been any matter or circumstance that has 
arisen that has significantly affected, or may significantly 
affect the operations of the company, the results of  
those operations, or the state of affairs of the company  
in future years.

REMUNERATION POLICY
Net Profit After Tax 2010 - 2015
The board continues to set remuneration at a level that will 
attract directors and executives of high calibre. The two key 
elements are:
•  base salary and fees, which are determined by reference 
to the market rate based on payments at similar sized 
companies in the industry; and 
•  Performance incentives, which have two components 
– short term incentives based on achieving key 
performance indicators during the year and payable  
in cash, and long-term incentives payable in equity,  
the value of which depends on the share price of  
the company.
The remuneration and nominations committee, comprised 
of D.J. Williams and A.D. McCallum, determines the salary 
package of the CEO of the company and reviews the 
compensation of the non-executive directors on an annual 
basis. Changes are approved by the board as a whole.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REMUNERATION 
POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE
The board aims to ensure there is a strong link between 
company performance and remuneration and believes that 
the use of performance incentives ensures that company 
performance is reflected in the quantum of payments made 
to executives. Performance metrics are selected to ensure 
that the interests of management are aligned with those 
of shareholders. For short term incentives, key metrics are 
NPAT (net profit after tax), used to directly link company 
earnings and cash bonuses and other operational measures, 
the achievement of which provides the basis for future 
growth and profitability. 
The table below and graph depict the company’s earnings 
for the current financial year and the previous five financial 
years, which demonstrate that the company has been 
consistently profitable.

With exception of Mrs Gouviea whose remuneration 
comprised of an 8% performance related component, no 
other director or key management personnel remuneration 
contained a performance related component. 
No key management personnel appointed during the period 
received a payment as part of his or her consideration for 
agreeing to hold the position.
ELEMENTS OF REMUNERATION RELATED TO 
PERFORMANCE
Fees paid to non-executive directors are not directly tied to 
performance. Salaries paid to the key executives are also  
not directly tied to performance. The short term and 
long-term incentive programmes are directly related to 
performance, and the conditions and assessment methods 
are explained below.
Short-term incentives
The determination and approval of any potential bonuses  
is at the discretion of the Board. 
During the 2015 financial year, discretionary bonuses 
totalling $nil (2014: $4,577) were determined and approved 
by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee in 
relation to key management personnel in respect of their 
performance in the 2014 financial year. 
Contracts for services
Mr Sharman is employed under an open-ended contract 
with a notice period of three months. The contract does not 
provide for any termination payments beyond payment for 
the notice period and any accrued annual leave.
Mr Edwards is employed under an open-ended contract 
with a notice period of four weeks. The contract does not 
provide for any termination payments beyond payment for 
the notice period and any accrued annual leave.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit 
services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with 
the general standard of independence for auditors imposed 
by the Corporations Act 2001. The non-audit services 
related to the provision of taxation and other accounting 
and assurance services and totalled $48,800. The directors 
do not believe that the provision of advice of this nature 
compromises the general principles relating to auditor’s 
independence, as set out by the Institute of Chartered 
Accountants in Australia.
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-
audit services provided during the year by the auditor are 
outlined in note 7 to the financial statements.

Medical Developments International LimitedAUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page

ROUNDING OFF OF AMOUNTS
The company is a company of the kind referred to in 
ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in 
accordance with that Class Order amounts in the directors’ 
report and the financial report are rounded off to the nearest 
thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors made 
pursuant to s.298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Annual Financial Report 2015Notes to the Financial 
Statements
for the Financial Year Ended 30 June 2015
1. Significant accounting 
policies
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
which has been prepared in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of 
the law. 
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial 
statements of the Group.
For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial 
statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. Accounting 
Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. 
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures 
that the financial statements and notes of the company 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(‘IFRS’). 
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the 
directors on 21 August 2015.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
on the basis of historical cost, except for certain non-
current assets and financial instruments that are measured 
at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the 
accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based 
on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for 
goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian 
dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Fair value is 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, regardless of 
whether that price is directly observable or estimated using 
another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value 
of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the 
characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants 
would take those characteristics into account when pricing 
the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value 
for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these 
consolidated financial statements is determined on such a 
basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are 
within the scope of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are 
within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have 
some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as 
net realisable value in AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value 
measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 
based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value 
measurements are observable and the significance of the 
inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are 
described as follows:
• 
• 
• 
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active 
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity 
can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices 
included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset 
or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset  
or liability.
The company is a company of the kind referred to in 
ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in 
accordance with that Class Order amounts in the financial 
report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, 
unless otherwise noted.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the 
financial statements of the Company and entities (including 
special purpose entities) controlled by the Company (its 
subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has 
the power to govern the financial and operating policies of 
an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
40
Medical Developments International LimitedIncome and expense of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of 
during the year are included in the consolidated statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the 
effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of 
disposal, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income of 
subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and 
to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial 
statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies 
into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses 
are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries 
that do not result in the Group losing control are accounted 
for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the 
Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are 
adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in 
the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by 
which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair 
value of the consideration paid or received is recognised 
directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies have been 
adopted in the preparation and presentation of the  
financial report:
Liabilities recognised in respect of annual leave and long 
service leave which are not expected to be settled within  
12 months are measured using an estimate of the present 
value of the future cash outflows to be made by the 
company in respect of services provided by employees  
up to reporting date.
(d) Financial assets
LOANS AND RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have 
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’.  
Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost  
using the effective interest rate method less impairment.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective 
interest rate.
IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through 
profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment 
at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired 
where there is objective evidence that as a result of one 
or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of 
the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the 
investment have been impacted. 
(e) Financial instruments issued by the company
(a) Borrowings
DEBT AND EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of 
transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured 
at amortised cost with any difference between the initial 
recognised amount and the redemption value being 
recognised in profit and loss over the period of the 
borrowing using the effective interest rate method.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in 
banks and investments in money market instruments, net of 
outstanding bank overdrafts. 
(c) Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees 
in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service 
leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will 
be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Liabilities recognised in respect of wages and salaries, 
annual leave and sick leave expected to be settled within  
12 months, are measured at their nominal values using  
the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time  
of settlement.
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities 
or as equity in accordance with the substance of the 
contractual arrangement.
TRANSACTION COSTS ON THE ISSUE OF EQUITY 
INSTRUMENTS
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments 
are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the 
proceeds of the equity instruments to which they relate. 
Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in 
connection with the issue of those equity instruments and 
would not have been incurred had those instruments not 
been issued.
INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS
Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as 
distributions of profit consistent with the balance sheet 
classification of the related debt or equity instruments or 
component parts of compound instruments.
(f) Foreign currency
The individual financial statements of each group entity 
are presented in the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (its functional

currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial 
statements, the results and financial position of each group 
entity are expressed in Australian dollars (‘$’), which is the 
functional currency of the Company and the presentation 
currency for the consolidated financial statements.
• 
for receivables and payables which are recognised 
inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,  
the taxation authority is included as part of receivables  
or payables.
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group 
entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s 
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised 
at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary 
items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at 
the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried 
at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are 
retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the 
fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are 
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are 
not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in 
profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for:
• 
• 
• 
exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings 
relating to assets under construction for future 
productive use, which are included in the cost of those 
assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to 
interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings; 
exchange differences on transactions entered into in 
order to hedge certain foreign currency risks below for 
hedging accounting policies; and
exchange differences on monetary items receivable from 
or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement 
is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming 
part of the net investment in the foreign operation), 
which are recognised initially in other comprehensive 
income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on 
repayment of the monetary items.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial 
statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign 
operations are translated into Australian dollars using 
exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. 
Income and expense items are translated at the average 
exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates 
fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case 
the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are 
used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised 
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity 
(attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
(g) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
•  where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of  
the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item 
of expense; or
Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of 
Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash 
flows arising from investing and financing activities which 
is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is 
classified as operating cash flows.
(h) Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost of acquisition 
over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, is 
recognised as an asset and not amortised but tested for 
impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that 
the goodwill may be impaired. Any impairment is recognised 
immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income and is not subsequently 
reversed. Refer also to note 1(j).
(i) Government grants
Government grants are assistance by the government in the 
form of transfers of resources to the company in return for 
past or future compliance with certain conditions relating 
to the operating activities of the company. Government 
grants include government assistance where there are no 
conditions specifically relating to the operating activities 
of the company other than the requirement to operate in 
certain regions or industry sectors.
Government grants relating to income are recognised as 
income over the periods necessary to match them with 
the related costs. Government grants that are receivable 
as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred 
or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to 
the company with no future related costs are recognised as 
income of the period in which it becomes receivable.
Government grants relating to assets are treated as deferred 
income and recognised in the profit and loss over the 
expected useful lives of the assets concerned.
(j) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying 
amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine 
whether there is any indication that those assets have 
suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists,  
the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order  
to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).  
Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are 
independent from other assets, the company estimates  
the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which 
the asset belongs.
42
Medical Developments International LimitedGoodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and 
intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for 
impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that 
the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not 
subsequently reversed. Recoverable amount is the higher 
of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted 
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the asset for which the 
estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient 
taxable amounts will be available against which deductible 
temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets 
can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise 
to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and 
liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) 
which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. 
Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised  
in relation to taxable temporary differences arising  
from goodwill.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating 
unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the 
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is 
reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is 
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income immediately, unless 
the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the 
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss (other than Goodwill) 
subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset  
(or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised 
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent 
that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the 
carrying amount that would have been determined had no 
impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-
generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment 
loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless  
the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case  
the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a  
revaluation increase.
(k) Income tax
CURRENT TAX
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax 
rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the 
asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, 
based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement 
of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax 
consequences that would follow from the manner in which 
the company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or 
settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate 
to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and 
the company intends to settle its current tax assets and 
liabilities on a net basis.
CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX FOR THE PERIOD
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or 
income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to 
items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the 
deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it 
arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, 
in which case it is taken into account in the determination of 
goodwill or excess.
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of 
income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the 
taxable profit or loss for the period. It is calculated using tax 
rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior 
periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that 
it is unpaid (or refundable).
Where the Group qualifies for the research and development 
tax incentive refund (at 45%), this reduces the current tax 
expense recognised in profit and loss for the period.
DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive 
balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary 
differences arising from differences between the carrying 
amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements 
and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all 
taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are 
(l) Intangible assets
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
Patents, trademarks and licenses are recorded at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation  
is charged on a straight line basis over their estimated  
useful lives of 10 years. The estimated useful life and 
amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each  
annual reporting period.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an 
expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no 
internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, 
development expenditure is recognised as an expense  
in the period as incurred.
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the 
development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, 
and only if, all of the following are demonstrated:

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible 
asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use  
or sell it;

operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where 
another systematic basis is more representative of the time 
pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset 
are consumed.
how the intangible asset will generate probable future 
economic benefits;
(o) Financial Liabilities
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other 
resources to complete the development and to use or 
sell the intangible asset; and
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure 
attributable to the intangible asset during  
its development.
Internally-generated intangible assets in respect of 
development costs are stated at cost less accumulated 
amortisation and impairment, and are amortised on a 
straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 5 years 
commencing from the date that revenue results.
REGISTRATION COSTS
Items of expenditure on registrations are capitalised to the 
extent that such costs can be measured reliably, future 
economic benefits are attributable to the expenditure, and  
it is probable that such future economic benefits  
will eventuate. 
Any capitalised registration costs are amortised over a 
period of 5-20 years in which the corresponding benefits 
are expected to arise, commencing from commercial sales 
to any of the countries for which the registration costs 
contributed to a successful registration.
The unamortised balance of registration costs capitalised in 
previous periods is reviewed regularly at each reporting date, 
to ensure the criteria for deferral continue to be met. Where 
such costs are no longer recoverable, they are written off as 
an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income.
(m) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and 
variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on 
hand by the method most appropriate to each particular 
class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a first in 
first out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated 
selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs 
to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
(n) Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms 
of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership to the lessee. The company currently does not 
have any finance leases. All other leases are classified as 
44
Trade payables and other accounts payable are classified 
as financial liabilities and are recognised when the company 
becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from 
the purchase of goods and services. Financial liabilities are 
initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method, with interest 
expense recognised on an effective yield basis. 
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating 
the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating 
interest expense over the relevant period. The effective 
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated 
future cash payments through the expected life of the 
financial liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.
(p) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated 
at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. 
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all 
or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is 
determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future 
to their present value as at the date of the acquisition. Other 
than the charge over the groups assets held in relation to the 
bank bill loan, all other assets are not encumbered by any 
additional charge or mortgage.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment and is 
calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the cost 
of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated 
residual value. Leasehold improvements are depreciated 
over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, 
whichever is the shorter, using the straight line method.  
The estimated useful lives, residual values and  
depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each  
annual reporting period.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the 
calculation of depreciation:
Leasehold improvements  5 years
Plant and equipment 
4-10 years
(q) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present 
Medical Developments International Limitedobligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is 
probable, and the amount of the provision can be  
measured reliably.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate 
of the consideration required to settle the present obligation 
at reporting date, taking into account the risks and 
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision 
is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the 
present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of 
those cashflows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle 
a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, 
the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is probable that 
recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable 
can be measured reliably.
DIVIDENDS
A liability is recognised for dividends when they have been 
declared, determined or publicly recommended by the 
directors on or before the reporting date.
(r) Revenue recognition 
SALE OF GOODS
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the 
company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks 
and rewards of ownership of the goods. 
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate  
basis that takes into account the effective yield on the 
financial asset.
(s) Share based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments granted are measured 
at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by 
use of a Monte Carlo valuation model. 
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-
settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-
line basis over the vesting period, based on the company’s 
estimate of options that will eventually vest.
(t) Research and development recoveries 
R&D tax credits receivable as compensation for expenses 
or losses already incurred by the Company with no future 
related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period 
in which they are quantified and become receivable. 
The company applies the income tax approach for the 
accounting and presentation of the R&D tax credit. 
Accordingly the tax benefit is presented as a reduction of 
income tax expense in the Statement of Profit or loss and 
other Comprehensive Income.
(u) Application of new and revised Accounting 
Standards
STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS AFFECTING 
AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CURRENT PERIOD 
(AND/OR PRIOR PERIODS)
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations 
have been adopted in the current year and have affected 
the amounts reported and/or disclosures in these financial 
statements.
STANDARDS AFFECTING PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE
AASB 1031 ‘Materiality’, AASB 
2013-9 ‘Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards’ – Conceptual 
Framework, Materiality and Financial 
Instruments’ (Part B: Materiality), 
AASB 2014-1 ‘Amendments to 
Australian Accounting Standards’ 
(Part C: Materiality)
The revised AASB 1031 is an interim standard that cross-references to other 
Standards and the ‘Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial 
Statements’ (issued December 2013) that contain guidance on materiality. The 
AASB is progressively removing references to AASB 1031 in all Standards and 
Interpretations. Once all of these references have been removed, AASB 1031 will 
be withdrawn. The adoption of AASB 1031, AASB 2013-9 (Part B) and AASB 
2014-1 (Part C) does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the 
amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
AASB 2013-3 ‘Amendments to 
AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount 
Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets’
The amendments to AASB 136 remove the requirement to disclose the 
recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill or other 
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives had been allocated when there has 
been no impairment or reversal of impairment of the related CGU. Furthermore, 
the amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements applicable to 
when the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is measured at fair value 
less costs of disposal. These new disclosures include the fair value hierarchy, 
key assumptions and valuation techniques used which are in line with the 
disclosure required by AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurements’.
The application of these amendments does not have any material impact on the 
disclosures in the Group’s consolidated financial statements

Medical Developments International Limited2. Critical accounting 
judgements and key 
sources of estimation 
uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the 
future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at 
the balance sheet date, that have significant risk of causing 
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities within the next financial year:
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an 
estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units 
to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use 
calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash 
flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit and a 
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value.
The carrying amount of goodwill at the balance sheet date 
was $7,368K (2014: $7,368K). Details of the impairment 
calculation are provided in Note 13.
AMORTISATION OF CAPITALISED REGISTRATION 
COSTS
During the year, management reviewed the unamortised 
balance of registration costs capitalised in previous periods. 
Consideration was given to the cost for each classification 
of capitalised costs to determine whether the corresponding 
benefits are likely to arise. Developments continue on the 
unamortised categories of registration costs capitalised 
in prior periods, and once revenue has been generated 
in these categories, the balances will be amortised.  At 
the reporting date there was no indication that any of the 
internally generated intangible assets, relating to registration 
costs, were impaired. Management continually reassess the 
appropriateness of useful lives assigned to each individual 
category of registration costs. This situation will be closely 
monitored, and amortisation will be recognised in future 
periods as corresponding economic benefits flow. Details  
of the capitalised registration costs are provided in Note 14.
GOING CONCERN
The FY15 Financial statements have been prepared on 
a going concern basis. The going concern assumption 
continues to apply to Medical Developments International 
Ltd as at 30 June 2015 as the Group continues to be 
profitable, generates positive operating cash flows, has 
significantly reduced its external loan facility balance and 
continues to be in a positive net asset position, which 
enables the Group to meets its debts and obligations as  
and when they fall due.
3. Segment information
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WITHIN EACH 
BUSINESS SEGMENT
For management purposes, the company is organised into 
three business units – Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices 
and Veterinary products. These units are the basis on which 
the company reports its primary segment information. The 
principal products and services of each of these divisions are 
as follows:
•  Pharmaceuticals – the sale of Penthrox® primarily within 
Australia and New Zealand and with some sales in 
Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South America.
•  Medical Devices – the sale of medical devices, 
particularly the Space Chamber and Breath-Alert Peak-
Flow meters, primarily within Australia and New Zealand, 
but with some sales in Asia, Europe, the Middle East 
and North America.
•  Veterinary Products – the sale of veterinary products 
within Australia, Europe, and the United States.
No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at 
the reportable segments of the group.
There have also been no sales between reportable segments.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are 
the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in 
Note 1. This is the measure reported to the chief operating 
decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and 
assessment of segment performance.
Liabilities are not disclosed per segment as it is not possible 
to track these on a segment basis.

at the end of the year, $236,222 (2014: $640,615) is due 
from the Group’s two largest customers (Refer to Note 3).
Included in the trade receivable balance are debtors with 
a carrying amount of $91,046 (2014: $135,616) which are 
past due at the reporting date for which the Group has not 
provided as there has not been a significant change in credit 
quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable.  
The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables,  
the Group considers any change in the credit quality of  
the trade receivable from the date the credit was initially 
granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit 
risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large 
and unrelated.
The directors believe that there is no further credit provision 
required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

The recoverable amount of all three cash-generating units 
is based on a value in use calculation for each unit which 
uses cash flow projections based on a five-year projection 
period and terminal value. The Board of Directors approved 
financial budget for the following year is used to determine 
the cash flows for year 1.

Recoverable amount testing has been based on EBITDA 
growth rates for years 2-5 of:
Balance at end of financial year

Pharmaceuticals: 
12.5% based on expansion into new markets
Net book value

Veterinary equipment:

During the year, the company assessed the recoverable 
amount of goodwill and determined that there was no 
impairment (2014: $nil).
ALLOCATION OF GOODWILL TO CASH-
GENERATING UNITS
Goodwill has been allocated for impairment testing purposes 
to three individual cash-generating units: pharmaceutical 
business, medical devices business and veterinary 
equipment business. The carrying amount of goodwill 
allocated to cash-generating units is as follows: 
Pharmaceuticals
Medical devices
Veterinary equipment

A terminal value after 5 years based on a long term growth 
rate of 2.5%, and a pre-tax discount rate of 14.06% per 
annum (2014: 15.09% per annum) have been used to 
calculate the carrying value of the intangible assets.
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations 
for all units are:
•  EBITDA growth – described above; and
•  Gross margin – it is assumed that gross margin of 
the Pharmaceutical & Medical Devices segments will 
continue to improve following investment and activities 
aimed at improvement in the manufacturing process 
and procedures. 
Management believes that any reasonably possible change 
in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount 
for each of the three units is based would not cause the 
carrying amounts to exceed their recoverable amounts.

Purchase Agreement in relation to plant and equipment. 
The term is 5 years and the current weighted average 
effective interest rate on the loan is 6.54%. The

agreement with the Commonwealth Scientific and 
Industrial Research Organisation (“CSIRO”) to fund 
the development of a new production process for the

30. Financial Instruments
(b) Significant accounting policies
(a) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be  
able to continue as a going concern while maximising the 
return to stakeholders. The Group does not enter into 
or trade financial instruments, including derivatives, for 
speculative purposes.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt 
(borrowings as detailed in note 16) and equity of the Group 
(comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings, and 
cash and cash equivalents as detailed in notes 20, 21, 22, 
and 29(a), respectively).
The Group’s Audit and Risk Committee reviews the capital 
structure of the Group on a semi-annual basis. As part of 
this review, the committee considers the cost of capital and 
the risks associated with each class of capital. The gearing 
ratio at 30 June 2015 is 1% (see below).  
Details of significant accounting policies and methods 
adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis 
of measurement and the basis on which revenues and 
expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of 
financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are 
disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements.
These policies were consistent throughout the current year 
and the prior year.
(c) Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s finance function provides services to the 
business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international 
financial markets, monitors and manages financial risks 
relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include 
market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate 
risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow 
interest rate risk.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will  
default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of 
only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Group’s 
exposure is continually monitored and the aggregate value 
of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved 
counterparties.

Net debt to equity ratio

(i)  Debt is defined as long-term and short-term borrowings 
as described in note 16.
(ii)  Equity includes all capital and reserves of the group that 
are managed as capital.
The bank bill facility includes financial covenants whereby 
the current ration must be no less than 2 times, a debt cover 
ratio that must be no less than 2 times and the operating 
leverage ratio must be no higher than 3 times. Monitoring of 
said covenants is performed monthly by management and 
signed off quarterly by management.
There have been no breaches in the current year and there 
are no forecasted breaches for forthcoming periods.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. 
Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial 
condition of these accounts receivable and advance 
payments are requested where deemed appropriate.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the 
financial statements, net of any allowance for losses, 
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk 
without taking account of the value of any collateral or other 
security obtained.
Apart from the two largest customers of the Group (refer to 
Notes 3 and 8), the Group does not have significant credit 
risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of 
counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group 
defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if 
they are related entities. Concentration of credit risk to any 
other counterparty did not exceed 5% of gross monetary 
assets at any time during the year.

(e) Foreign currency risk management
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated 
in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate 
fluctuations arise. 
The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency 
denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the 
reporting date is as follows: 
only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary 
items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 
10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number 
indicates an increase in profit or loss where the Australian 
Dollar strengthens against the respective currency. For a 
weakening of the Australian Dollar against the respective 
currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on 
the profit.

Amounts of exposure are not currently significant and as 
such forward contracts and currency swap agreements are 
not used.
FOREIGN CURRENCY SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The Group predominantly trades in Australian dollars (AUD), 
but has limited exposure to the US dollar (USD) based on a 
portion of its overseas sales and purchases.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% 
increase and decrease in the Australian Dollar against the 
USD. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when assessing foreign 
currency risk internally by key management and represents 
management’s assessment of the possible change in 
foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes 
USD IMPACT
2015

(35)
2014

(2)
This is attributable to the exposure outstanding on USD 
receivables and payables at year end in the Group. The 
exposure to movement in NZD, EUR, GBP and CAD is not 
deemed to be significant.
(f) Fair value of financial instruments
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial 
assets and liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the 
financial statements approximates their respective net fair 
values, determined in accordance with the accounting 
policies disclosed in note 1 to the financial statements.
The Group does not recognise any financial instruments that 
are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value.
(g) Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it holds cash at 
floating interest rates. The following table details the Group’s 
exposure to interest rate risk as at 30 June 2015 and 30 
June 2014.
