Medical Developments International LimitedThe future of MVP

Our ambition is to make Penthrox® a main stream analgesic 
of choice around the world and our Respiratory Devices 
global leaders in their field. 

Over the next 12 months we expect to:

•  Have Penthrox® approved for sale in more than 37 

countries arround the world;

•  Begin production in our manufacturing facility;

•  Conclude additional distribution partnerships for 

Penthrox® and Respiratory Devices for new countries;

•  Advance work on producing new manufacturing 

technologies for small molecule pharmaceuticals; and

•  Continue our clinical program focussed on:

•  gathering the clinical data needed to open an IND 
and submit a ‘New Drug Application’ to the Food  
& Drug Administration in the USA; and

Our initiative to develop new production technologies is 
progressing as well as we could have hoped for and we 
have identified three potential products so far which we think 
will deliver value to shareholders.

We have an increasing portfolio of submitted Patent 
Applications protecting Penthrox® and our manufacturing 
technology which, of itself, should revolutionise the way we 
make Penthrox® in the future. 

Our work to get Penthrox® approved for sale in the USA is 
progressing on schedule. Our clinical program has begun 
and we had an excellent meeting with the FDA in May, which 
has given us renewed confidence. In our view, Penthrox® 
has the capability to be a significant ‘non opioid’ analgesic 
across the USA.

Our portfolio of respiratory devices is growing and we are 
delivering good sales growth. The opportunities across the 
world for our respiratory devices, and especially in the USA 
in the shorter term, are significant. We are well on the way to 
delivering on these expectations.

•  extending the indication for use of Penthrox® 

We look forward to reporting our progress and successes.

globally.

Over the next few years our global market approvals and 
‘indication extensions’ are expected to deliver strong growth 
for our company. We are targeting new market approvals in 
22 European countries over the next 6 months and 37 new 
countries in total over the next 12 months. In addition, we 
expect to have completed our pre-clinical work and opened 
our IND in the USA. Our planned launches for Penthrox® are 
detailed below.

“These results are 
ahead of the significant
growth in new country 
registrations expected in the 
short term and US market 
penetration of our 
respiratory products.”

Penthrox® Developments

Penthrox® was launched in the French and Belgium markets 
in February 2017 and feedback from these markets is very 
positive. These launches were milestone events and in 
preparation for the launches, MVP received and delivered its 
largest ever single order for Penthrox®. Since launch, MVP 
has delivered its second order for the French market.

In the UK and Ireland, our distributor is making good 
progress and in June 2017, MVP supplied its second order 
post launch in the UK and Ireland. Galen continue to grow 
Penthrox® sales into hospitals in the UK and Ireland.  
56 hospitals have now approved Penthrox® into  
formulary listing and are using the product. These include 
six of the eleven Major Trauma Centres in the UK and we 
expect another to approve the use of Penthrox® in the 
coming months.

The guidelines for the use of Penthrox® in Ambulance 
services throughout Ireland were approved by PHECC in 
Penthrox®
May. Penthrox® is available for use in all Ambulance Services 
UK and Ireland formulary approvals
in Ireland and will be rolled out across the country once 
training of Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics 
and Advanced Paramedics is completed which is expected 
before the end of the year.

Annual Financial Report 2017 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Penthrox® is making excellent progress in France. In 
market sales and formulary approvals are growing at a much 
quicker rate than the UK, where the formulary approval 
process is long and arduous. We summarise the progress 
our partner is making in France as follows:

•  They are targeting formulary approval in 350 hospitals

•  They have already submitted 250 formulary 

applications

•  They have achieved 99 formulary approvals in France

•  They have 21 rejected formulary applications

•  143 hospitals have ordered Penthrox® in France

•  About 50% of customers who have ordered Penthrox® 

have already re-ordered

We are confident Penthrox® will be a very significant drug in 
France and more importantly, we are confident our partners 
in Europe are well placed to deliver aggressive sales growth 
over the coming years. 

In November 2016 MVP’s European Partner submitted 
an application to the United Kingdom’s Medicines & 
Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) under 
the Decentralised Procedure to have Penthrox® approved 
for sale in Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, 
Finland, Austria, Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria, 
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, 
Luxemburg, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. We are 
currently ahead of our target dates and have responded 
in full to the questions raised by the regulatory agencies 
as part of the day 105 ‘stop clock’. We do not expect any 
further issues to be raised from here and the approval and 

closure of the decentralised procedure is expected before 
the end of calendar year 2017. National approvals for the 
sale of Penthrox® will follow for each country and sales are 
expected to commence during H2 FY18.

In addition, ‘National Regulatory Applications’ are expected 
to be filed with the relevant agencies in the Netherlands, 
Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Liechtenstein, 
Montenegro, Kosovo, San Marino, Vatican City, Bosnia and 
Herzegovina, Andorra and Monaco in due course. Approvals 
to sell Penthrox® in these countries are expected during 
FY18 and beyond.

Elsewhere in the world our regulatory submissions to 
Mexico, Iran, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan and 
Korea are progressing. 

In all, MVP is working towards approvals to sell Penthrox® in 
another 37 countries over the next 12 to 18 months.

MVP finalised licensing and distribution deals in Korea 
and Canada during the half year and received milestone 
payments. A new licensing and distribution deal was also 
signed in Russia in April 2017.

Penthrox® sales to New Zealand grew 593% stemming 
from the decision during the year by New Zealand’s leading 
provider of Ambulance Services, St John Ambulance, 
to change their clinical practice and guidelines such that 
“Entonox (Nitrous Oxide) was discontinued with Penthrox® 
the sole inhaled analgesic administered”.

Penthrox® was approved for sale by the Food and Drug 
Administration in Taiwan and we made our first sale into 
Taiwan in March 2017.

Medical Developments International LimitedUnited States of America

Recent developments in the USA around opioid addiction 
and abuse make the clinical need and market opportunity 
for Penthrox® very attractive. Given the public and legislative 
bias expressed by the USA government and its Food Drug 
Administration (FDA) against the use of opioids, Penthrox® 
as a non-opioid / non-narcotic, fast acting, safe, easy to 

serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need in the 
USA. The purpose is to get important new drugs to the 
patient earlier. After our meeting at the FDA we are of the 
view that a Fast Track application to get Penthrox® approved 
in the USA is appropriate.

The program of work and timeframes (excluding any Fast 
Track) is illustrated below:

use, store and administer acute pain drug offers an attractive 
alternative.

In May 2017, MVP met with the FDA to discuss and 
confirm our proposed regulatory program designed to have 
Penthrox® approved for sale in the USA. That meeting was 
very positive and MVP now has a clear understanding of the 
support and requirements the FDA has in terms of approving 
Penthrox® for sale in the USA. MVP is proceeding with its 
development program comprising a number of clinical and 
non-clinical studies. The clinical and non-clinical work in 
several cases repeats work done and we are confident the 
data collected will reconfirm what we already know and what 
has already been accepted previously by various regulators 
in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

We estimate the work needed to submit a New Drug 
Application (NDA) in the USA will be completed within two 
and a half years, at a cost of $US15 million.

Most importantly, we expect to submit our application to 
have our Investigational New Drug applications accepted 
early in calendar year 2018.

We are also planning to submit a ‘Fast Track’ application 
to the FDA at the time of our IND submission. The ‘Fast 
Track’ application is a process designed to facilitate the 
development, and expedite the review of drugs to treat 

Respiratory 
Developments

Our respiratory device business continues to grow strongly. 
Overall gross revenue from respiratory devices grew 50%.

Sales of respiratory devices in the Australian market grew 
56% (gross), with our Breath-A-Tech® branded range of 
Space Chambers and respiratory products continuing to 
exceed expectations (up 182% yoy), reinforcing MVP as 
market leader in Australia.

Gross sales into the USA market grew 353% and we 
continue to build our business in that market. We incurred 
several ‘promotional and start up offer’ expenses during the 
year which we do not expect to continue. Since we finalised 
our distribution deals with McKesson, AmerisourceBergen 
and Cardinal Health, MVP’s Space Chamber Plus® range of 
devices and masks can be found in over 11,000 pharmacies 
across the USA. We completed ‘ranging’ deals in FY17 with 
each of Walmart, Kmart, Costco, Price Chopper, Sams Club 
and Independent Pharmacy Co-Op. These deals represent a 
critical ‘footprint’ within the USA retail pharmacy market. We 
expect additional pharmacy distribution deals over the next 
12 months. We are well on the way to establishing ourselves 
as a major supplier of Respiratory Devices in the USA. We

Health 2016;

Sales into Europe and the UK grew 32% and this region 
continues to make a significant contribution to the profits of 
our business.

Sales of respiratory devices to New Zealand grew 23%. 
This growth reflects consumers buying our medical devices 
outside of the fully rebated Pharmac reimbursement 
program and is testimony to the quality and performance of 
our products.

Clinical Developments

Completed study:

MVP continues to invest heavily in our clinical and research 
programs. Our ambition is to extend the use of Penthrox® 
into Acute Pain applications including Surgical Procedures, 
Breakthrough Pain and ultimately Home Use. Together with 
our partners we have begun developing clinical programs 
to expand the indication for use of Penthrox® to acute 
pain procedures in the European Union. The benefit of this 
extension will be available to both our partners in Europe 
and, more importantly, it will provide essential clinical data 
to have the market opportunity for Penthrox® extended in 
jurisdictions worldwide. By way of example we believe the 
market for Surgical Procedures is bigger than the global 
opportunity for Penthrox® in Trauma Pain, our traditional 
market.

During the period, a number of important studies were 
completed and published or were ongoing including:

New publications:

methoxyflurane for procedural analgesia: experience  
in a tertiary Australasian centre: Anaesthesia 2016;

And Intramuscular Tramadol for Prehospital Analgesia. 
(Singapore Emergency Ambulance Service). The trial 
found Penthrox® was superior to IM Tramadol in terms 
of analgesic efficacy and speed of onset as well as 
administration.

On-going studies:

•  TRUS-biopsy: A phase III double-blind placebo-

controlled randomised trial of methoxyflurane with 
periprostatic local anaesthesia to reduce the discomfort 
of transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (Pain-
Free TRUS B).

•  PASS – A Post Authorisation Safety Study designed to 
track any adverse events to the users of Penthrox® in 
Europe. The study is scheduled to last two years and the 
data gathered will be extremely valuable in existing and 
prospective Penthrox® markets around the world.

•  A randomised, double-blind, multicentre, placebo 

controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 
methoxyflurane (Penthrox®) for the treatment of acute 
pain in children and adolescents from 6 to less than 18 
years of age (presenting to an Emergency Department 
with minor trauma) MEOF-002. This study is designed 
to be both European and USA compliant which if 
successful will extend the use of Penthrox® to the 
paediatric population in Europe and then hopefully in the 
USA. The study launched in May 2017.

Apart from the USA studies, MVP and its partners 
are also planning:

•  Before-After Implementation Study Comparing the 
Effectiveness of Nurse Initiated Pain Protocol with 
Self- Administered Inhaled Analgesia in the Emergency 
Department (SingHealth);

•  Open randomised clinical trial to compare speed of pain 
relief between methoxyflurane and standard of care for 
treating patients with trauma pain in Spanish emergency 
units. (MVP Partner);

New Manufacturing Facility 

These studies will extend the body of safety and efficacy 
data for Penthrox® in adults and children and enable MVP 
to leverage the outcome of these studies in the proposed 
New Drug Application (NDA) to the USA and registrations 
elsewhere in the world.

Our longer-term ambition is to gather sufficient clinical and 
safety data to extend the use of Penthrox® into:

a)  minor surgical procedures;

Our new purpose built state of the art manufacturing facility 
in Scoresby was completed during the year with the facility 
currently undergoing final validation. The facility will house 
MVP’s commercial scale plant for the new methoxyflurane 
manufacturing process and also houses state of the 
art R&D product testing laboratories. The new plant will 
accommodate medium to long term forecasted demand and 
is expected to come online later in CY 2017.

b)  breakthrough post-operative and cancer pain;

CSIRO Project

c)  repeat use scenarios; and ultimately;

d)  home use.

Product Development

During the period MVP filed two separate Patent 
Applications protecting its new Penthrox® delivery device 
technology. In total, we have filed six Patent Applications to 
protect Penthrox®.

MVP filed one additional Patent Application to protect a new 
respiratory device developed by MVP.

MVP expects to submit additional patent applications as we 
extend our respiratory product offering in the future.

During the year MVP entered into an agreement with the 
CSIRO to further develop our manufacturing technology 
and capability for application to other small molecule 
pharmaceuticals. This agreement extends MVP’s existing 
partnership with the CSIRO. Our collective ambition is to 
develop the next generation of manufacturing technologies 
to make ‘small molecule’ pharmaceutical products at a 
significantly reduced cost and improved quality, compared 
with traditional processes. This project is progressing well 
and showing encouraging early signs. The initial assessment 
and investigations indicate there are at least three new 
molecules that we should be able to manufacture using our 
technology. These molecules are in billion dollar markets and 
relate to the areas of chronic and mild pain medication, and 
asthma and COPD medication.

Annual Financial Report 2017Penthrox®: Rest of World

MVP continues to negotiate with interested parties from 
around the world in terms of registering and selling 
Penthrox®. A number of key markets are drawing strong 
interest and we are encouraged by the responses we are 
getting from interested parties looking to partner Penthrox® 
in the USA. We are confident new distribution deals and 
registrations will be achieved in due course.

Vet

Our Vet business grew 41% in FY17 as MVP continues to 
win new orders from China and South-East Asia.

FY17 Full Year Financial 
Result 

Our full year result has delivered gross revenue growth of 
22% and Net profit after tax growth of 16%.

Operating Expenses grew 13% for the period. However, 
the results include a number of one off expenses such as a 
foreign exchange loss of $0.200m, expenses relating to the 
launch of new product in the USA, expenses relating to the 
approval of Penthrox® in Europe and costs relating the new 
manufacturing facility. We estimate these costs total another 
$0.350m. We estimate these non-recurring costs total 
$0.550m for the year.

MVP continues to invest in our business and people. MVP 
has employed an additional 26 people since the beginning 
of 2016 to cater for the workload resulting from the ongoing 
registration activity and planned new market launches over 
the next 12 to18 months. We are now well placed for the 
future and do not expect further significant investment.

MVP continues to invest in clinical studies, research and 
development and product development. Some of these 
expenses have capitalised to intangible assets where 
appropriate and the remainder has been taken directly to the 
profit and loss.

MVP recorded $1.9m as revenue from the amortisation of 
upfront and milestone payments received as at 30 June 
2017. In line with accounting practices these receipts are

the management of acute 
and procedural pain

Building our Business

MVP manufactures its world leading inhaled analgesic from 
its premises in Springvale, Victoria, Australia. MVP is the 
sole manufacturer of the active molecule worldwide and 
continues to develop new markets and applications for the 
iconic brand Penthrox®. Penthrox® continues to be used 
as a ‘first line’ product for the treatment of pain in trauma 
by all Ambulance Services in Australia and New Zealand. 
MVP continues 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 broaden the range of customers (hospitals, 
general practice, dental and cosmetic) domestically and 
continue to grow the countries that can be served by 
Penthrox®. In FY17 Penthrox® was successfully launched 
into France and Belgium. With a number of countries to 
come online in FY18.

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:

•  The strength of the Allersearch brand in Australian 
Hospitals and Pharmacies through our distribution 
partner

•  The growth of the OAPL sales in Hospitals and 

Pharmacies within Australia

•  The acquisition and strong growth of the  

Breath-A-Tech® range

•  Growing sales of our range of Asthma products 
through established international partners and 
new customers. Of particular note is the ongoing 
growth in respiratory sales in the USA with MVP 
products now in approximately 11,000 pharmacies 
across the USA.

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 product differentiation and local and 
international penetration.

Whilst the majority of MDI’s veterinary products continue 
to be sold in Europe through our distributor, Kruuse (one 
of Europe’s largest veterinary distribution companies), 
the launch of a new machine, and with a new catalogue 
veterinary sales continue to grow. MVP expect to expand 
its growth into Asia through various distributors.

continued to sell well on new but simple selling features 
such as size (smaller unit), ease of use and battery 
longevity. Through new products, a specifically tailored

Review of 
Operations
Penthrox® Developments

Penthrox® was launched in the French and Belgium markets 
in February 2017 and feedback from these markets is very 
positive. These launches were milestone events and in 
preparation for the launches, MVP received and delivered its 
largest ever single order for Penthrox®. Since launch, MVP 
has delivered its second order for the French market.

In the UK and Ireland, our distributor is making good 
progress and in June 2017, MVP supplied its second order 
post launch in the UK and Ireland. Galen continue to grow 
Penthrox® sales into hospitals in the UK and Ireland. 56 
hospitals have now approved Penthrox® into formulary 
listing and are using the product. These include six of the 
eleven Major Trauma Centres in the UK and we expect 
another to approve the use of Penthrox® in the coming 
months. 

The guidelines for the use of Penthrox® in Ambulance 
services throughout Ireland were approved by PHECC in 
May. Penthrox® is available for use in all Ambulance Services 
in Ireland and will be rolled out across the country once 
training of Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics 
and Advanced Paramedics is completed which is expected 
before the end of the year. 

The Joint Royal College Ambulance Liaison Committee 
(‘JRCALC’) is expected to issue updated pain management 
guidelines by October. Penthrox® is expected to be 
listed in these guidelines for all ambulance services. Our 
distributor has advised us that four Ambulance Trusts are 
already actively engaging in protocol assessments for the 
use of Penthrox® in anticipation of the guideline listing for 
Penthrox®.

Our target is to achieve formulary approval in 160 hospitals. 
It is estimated that 60% of trauma cases in the UK are seen 
by the top 30% of hospitals. 

Penthrox® is making excellent progress in France. In market 
sales and formulary approvals are growing at a much quicker 

20

Medical Developments International Limitedrate than the UK, where the formulary approval process is 
long and arduous. We summarise the progress our partner 
is making in France as follows:

to change their clinical practice and guidelines such that 
“Entonox (Nitrous Oxide) was discontinued with Penthrox® 
the sole inhaled analgesic administered”.

•  They are targeting formulary approval in 350 hospitals.

• 

 They have already submitted 250 formulary applications.

Penthrox® was approved for sale by the Food and Drug 
Administration in Taiwan and we made our first sale into 
Taiwan in March 2017.

• 

 They have achieved 99 formulary approvals in France.

• 

 They have 21 rejected formulary applications.

• 

 143 hospitals have ordered Penthrox® in France.

• 

 About 50% of customers who have ordered Penthrox® 
have already re-ordered.

We are confident Penthrox® will be a very significant drug in 
France and more importantly, we are confident our partners 
in Europe are well placed to deliver aggressive sales growth 
over the coming years.

In November 2016 MVP’s European Partner submitted 
an application to the United Kingdom’s Medicines & 
Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) under 
the Decentralised Procedure to have Penthrox® approved 
for sale in Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, 
Finland, Austria, Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria, 
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, 
Luxemburg, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. We are 
currently ahead of our target dates and have responded 
in full to the questions raised by the regulatory agencies 
as part of the day 105 ‘stop clock’. We do not expect any 
further issues to be raised from here and the approval and 
closure of the decentralised procedure is expected before 
the end of calendar year 2017. National approvals for the 
sale of Penthrox® will follow for each country and sales are 
expected to commence during H2 FY18. 

In addition, ‘National Regulatory Applications’ are expected 
to be filed with the relevant agencies in the Netherlands, 
Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Liechtenstein, 
Montenegro, Kosovo, San Marino, Vatican City, Bosnia and 
Herzegovina, Andorra and Monaco in due course. Approvals 
to sell Penthrox® in these countries are expected during 
FY18 and beyond.

Elsewhere in the world our regulatory submissions to 
Mexico, Iran, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan and 
Korea are progressing. 

In all, MVP is working towards approvals to sell Penthrox® in 
another 37 countries over the next 12 to 18 months.

MVP finalised licensing and distribution deals in Korea 
and Canada during the half year and received milestone 
payments. A new licensing and distribution deal was also 
signed in Russia in April 2017.

Penthrox® sales to New Zealand grew 593% stemming 
from the decision during the year by New Zealand’s leading 
provider of Ambulance Services, St John Ambulance, 

United States of America

Recent developments in the USA around opioid addiction 
and abuse make the clinical need and market opportunity 
for Penthrox® very attractive. Given the public and legislative 
bias expressed by the USA government and its Food Drug 
Administration (FDA) against the use of opioids, Penthrox® 
as a non-opioid / non-narcotic, fast acting, safe, easy to 
use, store and administer acute pain drug offers an attractive 
alternative. 

In May 2017, MVP met with the FDA to discuss and 
confirm our proposed regulatory program designed to have 
Penthrox® approved for sale in the USA. That meeting was 
very positive and MVP now has a clearer understanding 
of the support and requirements the FDA has in terms of 
approving Penthrox® for sale in the USA. MVP is proceeding 
with its development program comprising a number of 
clinical and non-clinical studies. The clinical and non-clinical 
work in several cases repeats work done and we are 
confident the data collected will reconfirm what we already 
know and what has already been previously accepted by 
various regulators elsewhere in the world. 

We estimate the work needed to submit a New Drug 
Application (NDA) in the USA will be completed within two 
and a half years, at a cost of $US15 million. 

Most importantly, we expect to submit our application to 
have our Investigational New Drug applications accepted 
early in calendar year 2018. 

We are also planning to submit a ‘Fast Track’ application 
to the FDA at the time of our IND submission. The ‘Fast 
Track’ application is a process designed to facilitate the 
development, and expedite the review of drugs to treat 
serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need in the 
USA. The purpose is to get important new drugs to the 
patient earlier. After our meeting at the FDA we are of the 
view that a Fast Track application to get Penthrox® approved 
in the USA is appropriate.

Respiratory 
Developments

Our respiratory device business continues to grow strongly. 
Overall gross revenue from respiratory devices grew 50%. 

Sales of respiratory devices in the Australian market grew 
56% (gross), with our Breath-A-Tech® branded range of 

21

Annual Financial Report 2017Space Chambers and respiratory products continuing to 
exceed expectations (up 182% yoy), reinforcing MVP as 
market leader in Australia. 

Gross sales into the USA market grew 353% and we 
continue to build our business in that market. We incurred 
several ‘promotional and start up offer’ expenses during the 
year which we do not expect to continue. Since we finalised 
our distribution deals with McKesson, AmerisourceBergen 
and Cardinal Health, MVP’s Space Chamber Plus range of 
devices and masks can be found in over 11,000 pharmacies 
across the USA. We completed ‘ranging’ deals in FY17 with 
each of Walmart, Kmart, Costco, Price Chopper, Sams Club 
and Independent Pharmacy Co-Op. These deals represent a 
critical ‘footprint’ within the USA retail pharmacy market. We 
expect additional pharmacy distribution deals over the next 
12 months. We are well on the way to establishing ourselves 
as a major supplier of Respiratory Devices in the USA. We 
expect to deliver significant sales growth in that market in 
the years ahead.

Sales into Europe and the UK grew 32% and this region 
continues to make a significant contribution to the profits of 
our business.

Sales of respiratory devices to New Zealand grew 23%. 
This growth reflects consumers buying our medical devices 
outside of the fully rebated Pharmac reimbursement 
program and is testimony to the quality and performance of 
our products.

Clinical Developments

Completed study:

MVP continues to invest heavily in our clinical and research 
programs. Our ambition is to extend the use of Penthrox® 
into Acute Pain applications including Surgical Procedures, 
Breakthrough Pain and ultimately Home Use. Together with 
our partners we have begun developing clinical programs 
to expand the indication for use of Penthrox® to acute 
pain procedures in the European Union. The benefit of this 
extension will be available to both our partners in Europe 
and, more importantly, it will provide essential clinical data 
to have the market opportunity for Penthrox® extended in 
jurisdictions worldwide. By way of example we believe the 
market for Surgical Procedures is bigger than the global 
opportunity for Penthrox® in Trauma Pain, our traditional 
market.

During the period, a number of important studies were 
completed and published or were ongoing including:

New publications:

•  Comparison of Inhalational Methoxyflurane (Penthrox®) 
And Intramuscular Tramadol for Prehospital Analgesia. 
(Singapore Emergency Ambulance Service). The trial 
found Penthrox was superior to IM Tramadol in terms 
of analgesic efficacy and speed of onset as well as 
administration. 

On-going studies:

•  TRUS-biopsy: A phase III double-blind placebo-

controlled randomised trial of methoxyflurane with 
periprostatic local anaesthesia to reduce the discomfort 
of transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (Pain-
Free TRUS B).

•  PASS – A Post Authorisation Safety Study designed to 
track any adverse events to the users of Penthrox in 
Europe. The study is scheduled to last two years and the 
data gathered will be extremely valuable in existing and 
prospective Penthrox markets around the world.

pain in children and adolescents from 6 to less than 18 
years of age (presenting to an Emergency Department 
with minor trauma) MEOF-002. This study is designed 

22

Medical Developments International Limitedto be both European and USA compliant which if 
successful will extend the use of Penthrox® to the 
paediatric population in Europe and then hopefully in the 
USA. The study launched in May 2017.

Apart from the USA studies, MVP and its partners are also 
planning:

•  Before-After Implementation Study Comparing the 
Effectiveness of Nurse Initiated Pain Protocol with 
Self- Administered Inhaled Analgesia in the Emergency 
Department (SingHealth);

• 

 Open randomised clinical trial to compare speed of pain 
relief between methoxyflurane and standard of care for 
treating patients with trauma pain in Spanish emergency 
units. (MVP Partner);

•  Efficacy and safety of Penthrox® for the moderate to 
severe acute pain in patients with biliary colic. (MVP 
Partner) – draft synopsis available;

• 

 Mountain rescue study in Italy (MVP Partner) – planning 
stages.

These studies will extend the body of safety and efficacy 
data for Penthrox® in adults and children and enable MVP 
to leverage the outcome of these studies in the proposed 
New Drug Application (NDA) to the USA and registrations 
elsewhere in the world. 

Our longer-term ambition is to gather sufficient clinical and 
safety data to extend the use of Penthrox® into:

a)  minor surgical procedures; 

b)   breakthrough post-operative and cancer pain;

c)   repeat use scenarios; and ultimately

d)   home use.

currently undergoing final validation. The facility will house 
MVP’s commercial scale plant for the new methoxyflurane 
manufacturing process and also houses state of the 
art R&D product testing laboratories. The new plant will 
accommodate medium to long term forecast demand and is 
expected to come online later in CY2017.

CSIRO Project

During the year MVP entered into an agreement with the 
CSIRO to further develop our manufacturing technology 
and capability for application to other small molecule 
pharmaceuticals. This agreement extends MVP’s existing 
partnership with the CSIRO. Our collective ambition is to 
develop the next generation of manufacturing technologies 
to make ‘small molecule’ pharmaceutical products at a 
significantly reduced cost and improved quality, compared 
with traditional processes. This project is progressing well 
and showing encouraging early signs. The initial assessment 
and investigations indicate there are at least three new 
molecules that we should be able to manufacture using our 
technology. These molecules are in billion dollar markets and 
relate to the areas of chronic and mild pain medication, and 
asthma and COPD medication. 

Penthrox®: Rest of World

MVP continues to negotiate with interested parties from 
around the world in terms of registering and selling 
Penthrox®. A number of key markets are drawing strong 
interest and we are encouraged by the responses we are 
getting from interested parties looking to partner Penthrox® 
in the USA. We are confident new distribution deals and 
registrations will be achieved in due course.

Vet

Product Developments

Our Vet business grew 41% in FY17 as MVP continues to 
win new orders from China and South-East Asia. 

During the period MVP filed two separate Patent 
Applications protecting its new Penthrox® delivery device 
technology. In total, we have filed six Patent Applications to 
protect Penthrox®.

MVP filed one additional Patent Application to protect a new 
respiratory device. 

MVP expects to submit additional patent applications as we 
extend our respiratory product offering in the future.

New Manufacturing Facility

FY17 Full Year Financial 
Result

Our full year result has delivered gross revenue growth of 
22% and Net profit after tax growth of 16%.

Operating Expenses grew 13% for the period. However, 
the results include a number of one off expenses such as a 
foreign exchange loss of $0.200m, expenses relating to the 
launch of new product in the USA, expenses relating to the 
approval of Penthrox® in Europe and costs relating the new 
manufacturing facility. We estimate these costs total another 
$0.350m. We estimate these non-recurring costs total 
$0.550m for the year.

Our new purpose built state of the art manufacturing facility 
in Scoresby was completed during the year with the facility 

MVP continues to invest in our business and people. MVP 
has employed an additional 26 people since the beginning 

23

Annual Financial Report 2017of 2016 to cater for the workload resulting from the ongoing 
registration activity and planned new market launches over 
the next 12 to 18 months. We are now well placed for the 
future and do not expect further significant investment.

MVP continues to invest in clinical studies, research and 
development and product development. Some of these 
expenses have capitalised to intangible assets where 
appropriate and the remainder has been taken directly to  
the profit and loss.

We expect a significant uplift in revenue in the medium 
term as new country registrations for Penthrox® translate 
into sales and the new channels of distribution for asthma 
devices translate into further sales growth.

MVP recorded $1.9m as revenue from the amortisation of 
upfront and milestone payments received as at 30 June 
2017. In line with accounting practices these receipts are 
required to be amortised over the contract term.

We received a $0.245 million R&D tax incentive refund 
during the year and a further $0.424 million is expected in 
the coming months in relation to FY17.

There has not been any other 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

Dividends

The Board of Directors is pleased to declare a Final Dividend 
of 2 cents per share fully-franked. 

MVP intends to implement a Dividend Reinvestment Plan 
which will allow shareholders to use the proceeds from the 
Full Year Dividend to purchase MVP shares at a 5% discount 
to the volume weighted average price of all of the company’s 
fully paid shares sold on the ASX during the 10 trading days 
immediately before the record date.

The timetable for the Final Dividend for the year ended 30

Key management personnel share option plan 

In the prior year (on 18 January 2016) the company 
announced it has agreed to a Long-Term Incentive 
Plan ‘LTIP’ with Mr. John Sharman, the CEO of Medical 
Developments International Limited to encourage his long-
term commitment to the business.

The key plan features are summarised as follows:

•  A grant of 400,000 options with a strike price of $2.50 
but vesting only when the MVP share price has been 
above $4.50 at all times for 60 continuous ASX Trading 
days. These options were due to expire on 28 February 
2017, however vested and were exercised on 10 August 
2016;

• 

 A grant of 400,000 options with a strike price of $2.50 
but vesting only when the MVP share price has been 
above $5.50 for 60 continuous ASX Trading days. These 
options were due to expire on 30 September 2017, 
however vested and were exercised on 5 October 2016; 
and

•  A grant of 200,000 options with a strike price of $2.50 
but vesting only when reimbursement is approved for 
Penthrox® in Germany or Registration is approved in 
Germany (whichever occurs first). These options expired 
on 31 December 2016.

Each share option converted into one ordinary share of 
Medical Developments Limited on exercise. No amounts are 
paid or payable by the recipient on the receipt of the option 
nor are they tradeable at any time. The options carried 
neither rights to dividends or voting rights. 

Under the terms of the plan, all outstanding options were to 
be cancelled if Mr. Sharman leaves or is otherwise no longer 
employed at MVP for any reason. When the LTIP delivers 
an entitlement to an equity interest via the prevailing share 
price hurdle, Mr. Sharman will have 3 months to exercise the 
relevant options, after which the relevant options will lapse. 
In each case, 60% of the new shares issued by exercising 
options will be escrowed for a period of 12 months from 
issue date.

Medical Developments International LimitedThere has been no alteration to the terms and conditions of the above share based payment arrangement since grant date. 
There has been no further issue of options in the year ended 30 June 2017.

Remuneration Policy

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.

Both Mr Sharman and Mr Edwards remuneration comprised a performance related component of $162,500 and $4,566 
respectively. No directors remuneration contained a performance related component. 

(i)  The value of the options granted to Mr Sharman as part of his remuneration was calculated at grant date using a Monte 
Carlo simulation pricing model. The model estimates the achievement of the vesting hurdles and calculated the present 
value of the payoff on vesting. This value is amortised over potential vesting period and disclosed as part of remuneration 
for the financial year with an adjustment made to remuneration expense for any options vesting earlier or probable to do so.

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 2017 financial year, discretionary bonuses totalling $167,066 (2016: $34,566) were determined and approved by 
the Remuneration and Nominations Committee in relation to key management personnel in respect of their performance in 
the 2016 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.

Medical Developments International Limited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 $26,075. 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.

Auditor’s independence declaration

The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page 32 of the annual report.

Rounding off of amounts

The Company is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (rounding in Financial/Director’s Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument, amounts in the directors’ report and 
the financial statements 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.

On behalf of the directors.

Annual Financial Report 2017Notes to the Financial Statements  
for the Financial Year Ended 30 June 2017

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 18 August 2017.

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.

Income 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 

42

Medical Developments International Limitedto the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-
controlling interests having a deficit balance.

(d) Financial assets

Loans and receivables

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.

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.

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:

(a) Borrowings

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.

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.

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

Debt and equity instruments

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.

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

• 

 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.

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.

Goodwill, 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.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating 
unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the 

44

Medical Developments International Limited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.

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.

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

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 
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.

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, 

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.

(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;

• 

 the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

• 

• 

 how the intangible asset will generate probable future 
economic benefits;

 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.

45

Annual Financial Report 2017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.

Brandnames

Brandnames arising on acquisition of a business are carried 
at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the 
business less any applicable impairment charge (if any). They 
are not amortised but subject to annual tests for impairment. 
For the purposes of impairment testing, brandnames are 
allocated to the relevant Group cash generating unit to 
which they relate. 

(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 
operating leases.

(o) Financial Liabilities

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 
obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is 
probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured 
reliably.

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.

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

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

In the current year, the Group has applied an amendment 
to AASBs issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board (AASB) that are mandatorily effective for an 
accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2016, and 
therefore relevant for the current year end:

•  AASB 1057 Application of Australian Accounting 

Standards and AASB 2015-9 Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards - Scope and Application 
Paragraphs;

•  AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards - Clarification of Acceptable Methods of 
Depreciation and Amortisation;

•  AASB 2015-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards - Annual Improvements to Australian 
Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle; and

•  AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting 

Standards - Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to MSB 
101.

The application of these amendment does not have 
any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts 
recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Changes in accounting policy since the most recent 
interim financial report

In accordance with AASB138 ‘Intangible Assets’, the Group 
has voluntarily changed its account policy in relation to 
capitalising deferred registration costs during the current 
year. The Group now capitalises specific internal labour 
time spent on select Regulatory and Clinical Development 
projects, rather than expensing them to the income 
statement which has been the historical practice. This 
change in policy is being applied from 1 July 2016 and has 
resulted in the capitalisation of approximately $431,823 of 
time over the 12-month period. This includes $205,085 of 
internal labour cost that was initially expensed in the interim 
financial Report for the 6 months ended 31 December 2016 
and has now been restated and capitalised for the full year. 

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. Settlement and 
volume discounts granted to customers are accounted as 
offsets against sales. Management is assessing the impact 
on the above of the new AASB 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts 
with customers’ accounting standard with no material 
changes anticipated.

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. Details regarding 
the fair value of equity-settle share based transactions are 
set out in note 32.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity 
settled share based payments is expensed on a straight 
line based over the vesting period, based on the Group’s 
estimated of equity instruments that will eventually vest, 
with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of 
the reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the 
number of equity instruments expected to vest and the 
impact of any revision on the original estimates is also 
recognised in the profit and loss.

(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.

Medical Developments International Limited2. Critical accounting 

Going Concern

The FY17 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 2017 as the Group is profitable, 
generates positive operating cash flows, has negotiated an 
extension and increase to its external loan facility balance 
and continues to be in a positive net asset position, which 
enables the Group to meet its debts and obligations as and 
when they fall due.

Share Based Payments

Refer note 1(s) for further discussion on judgements made 
affecting share based payments.

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 the UK and some sales in New, Zealand, 
Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa.

• 

 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 Asia.

No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at 
the reportable segments of the group.

There have also been no sales between reportable 
segments.

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 $8,874,000 (2016: $8,874,000). Details of the 
impairment calculation are provided in note 13.

Useful life of capitalised registration costs

Capitalisation of other intangible assets requires judgement 
by management to determine whether: 

•  Expenditure relates to development activity and not 

research activity, 

• 

• 

 Expected future economic benefits attributable to the 
intangible assets will flow to the Group,

 The timing of the commencement of the amortisation of 
the asset which should commence when revenue has 
been generated, and

• 

 The useful lives assigned to each individual category are 
appropriate.

Details of the other intangible assets are provided in Note 14.

Useful life of plant and equipment

Refer note 1(p) for further discussion on useful life 
assessments relating to plant and equipment.

Deferred tax assets

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at 
the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will 
eventuate to enable recovery of the asset.

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.

Included in the trade receivable balance are debtors with a 
carrying amount of $109,640 (2016: $124,323) 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.

13. Goodwill

Gross carrying amount

2017

2016 
$’000

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.

During the year, the company assessed the recoverable 
amount of goodwill and determined that there was no 
impairment (2016: $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

8,874

Veterinary equipment:  7.5% based on expansion  

of existing markets

A terminal value after 5 years based on a long-term growth 
rate of 2.5%, and a pre-tax discount rate of 14.64% per 
annum (2016: 12.24% 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 be 
maintained 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 6.45%. The 
agreement is secured by a registered charge over the 
equipment financed.

(iii)   The Bank Bill Facility with a variable interest rate and 90 
day roll over period was renegotiated during the year. As 
at 30 June 2017, the facility is unused. The Bank Bill is 
secured by a registered charge over all of the Group’s 
assets. 

(iv)  On 29 June 2012, the group entered into an 

agreement with the Commonwealth Scientific and 
Industrial Research Organisation (‘CSIRO’) to fund 
the development of a new production process for the 
pain relieving ingredient used in Penthrox®. Funding is 
receivable at the commencement of each of three stages 
of development and is payable over a three year term 
upon the completion of the relevant stage. As at 30 June 
2017, the stage 1a and 1b are complete. Should MDI 
default on the loan, CSIRO has the option to convert the 
debt into shares in MDI at fair market value. This funding 
is interest-free until the first anniversary of the completion 
of stages 1a and 2 and is then calculated at the Westpac 
Bank Lending Rate at the date the relevant note was 
issued, plus 2%. The funding for stage 2 is interest free.

(v)  The Group has an overdraft facility of $200,000. As at 30 

June 2017, this remains unused.

28. Subsequent events

In August 2017, the Company signed an unconditional Term 
Sheet with its financiers to extend its Bank Bill Facility. The 
initial facility for $5m was due to expire in October 2018. The 
new facility will increase to $11m and will extend to August 
2019.

On the 18th August 2017 the Board of Directors declared 
a fully franked final dividend of 2 cents per share to the 
holders of fully paid ordinary shares as at the record date of 
1 September 2017, to be paid to the shareholders on the 
6 October 2017. This dividend has not been included as a 
liability in these financial statements.

There has not been no other 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.

Operating leases primarily relate to factory leases with 
remaining lease terms ranging from 1.5 to 8.5 years. The 
company does not have the option to purchase the leased 
asset at the expiry of the lease period.

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 2017 is -6% (see below).

(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 operating leverage ratio must be no higher than 2.50 
times. Monitoring of said covenants is performed monthly by 
management and signed off bi-annually by management.

There have been no breaches in the current year and there 
are no forecasted breaches for forthcoming periods.

(b) Significant accounting policies

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.

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.

(d) Credit risk management

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.

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 three 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:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

GBP Impact

2017 
$’000

(111)

2016 
$’000

(72)

The Group predominantly trades in Australian dollars (AUD), 
but has limited exposure to the US dollar (USD) and Great 
Britain Pound (GBP) 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 and GBP. 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 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. 

USD Impact

2017

(104)

2016 
$’000

(471)

Profit or Loss

This is attributable to the exposure outstanding on USD and 
GBP receivables and payables at year end in the Group. 
The exposure to movement in NZD, EUR, 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 2017 and 30 
June 2016.

32.1 CEO share option plan

The following share-based payment arrangement was 
introduced in the 30 June 2016 year and vested and 
exercise or lapsed during the current reporting period.

On 18 January 2016 the company announced it has agreed 
to a Long Term Incentive Plan “LTIP” with Mr. John Sharman, 
the CEO of Medical Developments International Limited to 
encourage his long term commitment to the business.

The key plan features are summarised as follows:

•  A grant of 400,000 options with a strike price of $2.50 
but vesting only when the MVP share price has been 
above $4.50 at all times for 60 continuous ASX Trading 
days. These options vested and were exercised on 10 
August 2016.

• 

• 

 A grant of 400,000 options with a strike price of $2.50 
but vesting only when the MVP share price has been 
above $5.50 for 60 continuous ASX Trading days. These 
options vested and were exercised on 5 October 2016; 
and

 A grant of 200,000 options with a strike price of $2.50 
but vesting only when reimbursement is approved for 
Penthrox® in Germany or Registration is approved in 
Germany (whichever occurs first). These options lapsed 
and expired on 31 December 2016.

Each share option converts into one ordinarily share of 
Medical Developments Limited on exercise. No amounts are 
paid or payable by the recipient on the receipt of the option 
nor are they tradeable at any time. The options carried 
neither rights to dividends or voting rights. 

Under the terms of the plan, all outstanding options will be 
cancelled if Mr. Sharman leaves or is otherwise no longer 
employed at MVP. When the LTIP delivers an entitlement to 
an equity interest via the prevailing share price hurdle, Mr. 
Sharman will have 3 months to exercise the relevant options, 
after which the relevant options will lapse. In each case, 
60% of the new shares issued by exercising options will be 
escrowed for a period of 12 months from issue date. 

There has been no alteration to the terms and conditions of 
the above share based payment arrangement since grant 
date.

32.2 Fair value of share options 
granted during the year

Options with share market price performance hurdles were 
priced using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte 
Carlo model estimates the achievement of the vesting 
hurdles and calculates the present value of the pay off on 
vesting. It enables specific modelling of the hurdles specified 
under the plan, in particular the requirement for a share price 
minimum to be maintained for a specified time. Options 
with other performance hurdles vesting conditions where 
the outcome is binary, were priced using a Binomial option 
pricing model. Where relevant, the expected useful life used 
in the model has been adjusted based on management’s 
best estimate for the effects of non-transferability and 
exercise restrictions (including the probability of meeting 
market conditions attached to the option). Expected volatility 
is based on the historical share price volatility over the past 
2 years.
