CHAIRMAN

Positioned for long term global growth

MVP invested heavily during FY18 in our people, our clinical development programs, our 
CSIRO Continuous Flow manufacturing technology and our own manufacturing facility. 
Penthrox® is well positioned to provide an alternative to opioid medicines in the multi billion 
dollar global pain market and was approved for sale in another 25 countries during the year. 
Our ambition is to expand the use of Penthrox® globally and to extend its use into Acute Pain 
applications including Surgical Procedures, Breakthrough Pain and ultimately Home Use. Our 
program with the CSIRO could potentially change the way some pharmaceutical products 
are made, and we look forward to delivering the benefits of our own Penthrox® manufacturing 
technology and facility as sales increase in the future.

Medical Developments International Limited. (‘MDI’) (ASX: MVP) delivered Gross Revenue of 
$17.929 million (FY17 $18.904 million) and Net Profit after Tax of $0.243m (FY17 $1.820m) 
for the twelve months ended 30 June 2018. MVP has declared a fully franked full year 
dividend of 2 cents per share.

Penthrox® Sales

United States of America

Recent developments in the USA around opioid addiction 
and abuse make the clinical need and market opportunity 
for Penthrox® more urgent. 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 should offer a 
compelling solution. 

MVP completed the clinical and non-clinical studies required 
to open an IND, which we believe to be the critical step 
in the pathway to approval. The clinical and non-clinical 
work in several cases repeats work done elsewhere. The 
data collected reconfirms what we know and what has been 
accepted by regulators in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

MVP submitted the Investigational New Drug application  
on 29 June 2018. 

On 25 July the FDA contacted MVP stating that it had 
questions about the IND application and until such time  
as those questions were answered the IND was on  
‘Clinical Hold’.

The FDA advised they are writing to MVP to detail its 
questions and MVP expect to receive FDA’s written 
correspondence within two months.

At this stage MVP remain confident that we will be able to 
supply the FDA with the additional information it requires. 

Our confidence is based on our 30+ years of experience, 
Penthrox® demonstrated safety profile over that time, our 
recent achievements in getting Penthrox® approval for sale in 
more than 28 countries in the last few years and our ongoing 
clinical work being performed around the world.

MVP continues to discuss its commercial plans to sell 
Penthrox® in the United States with interested parties.

Europe

Bureaucratic delays meant Marketing Authorisations were 
received for 23 new countries during the last few months of 
FY18. Consequently, sales into these markets have been 
pushed into FY19. MVP has sales orders on hand for 7 new 
European countries and product launches are planned in the 
coming months. MVP expect the remaining countries to be 
launched throughout FY19.

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. 

France

Penthrox® was launched in the French and Belgium markets 
in 2017 and feedback from these markets continues to be 
very positive. France now has approval from 121 hospitals 
and 248 customers which are buying and using Penthrox®. 
In market sales grew 66% for Q3FY18.

and 248 customers which are buying and using Penthrox®. 
In market sales grew 66% for Q3FY18.

UK and Ireland

In the UK and Ireland, Galen continues to make good 
progress. In May 2018 MVP supplied its fourth order. Sales 
to the UK and Ireland are up 51% vs FY17. Penthrox® sales 
continue to grow into hospitals in the UK and Ireland. 103 
hospitals have now approved Penthrox® into formulary 
listing and 385 customers in total are using the product. 
These include seven of the eleven major trauma centres in  
the UK. 

The Joint Royal College Ambulance Liaison Committee 
(‘JRCALC’) approved the use of Penthrox® across all 
ambulance services in the UK during November 2017. Three 
ambulance services have adopted Penthrox® and a number 
of ambulance trusts are actively engaging in protocol 
assessments.

Penthrox® is being used in all ambulance services and major 
hospitals in Ireland.

Australia

Penthrox® maintained its strong presence in its traditional 
market of Ambulance. Sales to hospitals grew 9%. 
Penthrox® is now sold into more than 200 hospitals and 
medical clinics.

New Zealand

During FY18, New Zealand St John’s Ambulance removed 
nitrous oxide from service and replaced it with Penthrox®. 
Sales grew 52% during FY18.

Middle East

Sales in the Middle East dropped 14% during FY18, mainly 
because of regional instability affecting Qatar and the UAE. 
We expect a number of new Marketing Authorisations will be 
approved during FY19 including for Saudi Arabia, Jordan, 
Iraq and Iran which will deliver sales growth in the region.

Hong Kong

We expect Marketing Authorisation to be approved for 
Penthrox® during H1FY19 and sales to begin.

Singapore and South Africa

Sales into Singapore fell whilst sales into South Africa 
continue to be frustrated because of bureaucratic delays in 
‘down-scheduling’ Penthrox® so it can be used more freely 
in ambulance and hospitals. 

France

South Korea

Penthrox® was launched in the French and Belgium markets 
in 2017 and feedback from these markets continues to be 
very positive. France now has approval from 121 hospitals 

We continue to work with our partners and the regulatory 
authorities to get Penthrox® approved for sale in South 
Korea.

(MVP). This trial recruited its first patient in July 2017 and 
is now almost 40% recruited. Progress is steady, and we 
expect to have the initial review of safety data completed 
before the end of this year. One of the issues for recruitment 
is that enrolment relies on parental consent of children 
who have suffered trauma pain, and naturally parents are 
reluctant to enrol their child, particularly in the younger age 
groups.

continues to make a significant contribution to our business.

Clinical Developments

MVP invested $7.1m in clinical and research programs 
during FY18 (FY17: $2.9m). 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. In parallel we are conducting a large pivotal children 
study to expand the trauma indication into children within the 
EU. The benefit of this extension could be available to our 
partners in Europe and, more importantly, it could provide 
the additional clinical data to have the market opportunity 
for Penthrox® extended in jurisdictions worldwide. By 
way of example, we believe the global market for minor 
Surgical Procedures is bigger than the global opportunity for 
Penthrox® in Trauma Pain, our traditional market.

Russia

In May 2017 Russia announced it was coordinating 
its Marketing Authorisation approval process for 
pharmaceuticals in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). 
The Union includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Armenia 
and Kyrgyzstan; and Marketing Authorisations granted under 
the new EEU will mean the product can be sold in all five 
countries. The formal acceptance of Marketing Authorisation 
submissions is expected to commence in September 2018. 
MVP and its Russian partner plan to submit the Marketing 
Authorisation application and achieve the approval to sell 
Penthrox® by FY20.

Future for Penthrox® 

MVP continues to negotiate with interested parties from 
around the world in terms of registering and selling 
Penthrox®. Several 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, China and Asia.

Respiratory 
Developments

Overall gross revenue from respiratory devices was  
2% down. 

MVP maintained its market leadership position even though 
sales in Australia fell 6% (year on year) because we launched 
six new products during H1FY17 and received strong 
‘first stocking’ orders. Whilst we received follow up orders 
during FY18, the size of the initial stocking orders was not 
replicated in FY18. MVP has plans for product launches in 
FY19 and we expect sales from our Australian business  
to grow.

Sales into the USA market grew 15% and we continue to 
build our business in that market. We are well on the way

a)  minor surgical procedures; 

b)  breakthrough post-operative and cancer pain;

c)  repeat use scenarios; and ultimately

d)  home use.

Commercial 
Developments

New Manufacturing Facility

The platform technology is the same as that used for the 
manufacture of Penthrox®. Accordingly, MVP expects the 
benefits of the new technology may include significant 
cost reductions, improved consistency in terms of quality 
and yield, better scalability and improved safety, than that 
currently used to manufacture the drug. 

Our scientific development team includes some of 
Australia’s and the world’s leading experts in small molecule 
manufacture and continuous flow technology. Good 
progress is being made on several pharmaceutical products 
which we detail as follow:

•  Lidocaine – Proven manufacturing process using 

continuous flow technology at commercially viable 
manufacturing scale. Writing invention statement and 
developing patent. Discussion have commenced with 
potential interested parties

Our new purpose-built state of the art manufacturing 
facility in Scoresby was completed during 2017 and was 
audited and approved by the TGA and European regulatory 
authorities. MVP received the GMP Licence from the TGA for 
the facility in March 2018 and production has begun. To give 
some perspective as to the capability of our new technology, 
we expect to be able to manufacture the equivalent of our 
global 2017 demand for Penthrox® in only 8 weeks.

•  Diclofenac – Proven manufacturing process using 
continuous flow technology. Moving to small scale 
production testing. Writing invention statement and 
developing patent

•  Salbutamol - Proven manufacturing process using 
continuous flow technology. Moving to small scale 
production testing. Writing invention statement and 
developing patent

Our facility also houses MVP’s state of the art R&D product 
testing laboratories. 

•  Sevoflurane – New batch manufacturing process 

invented. Continuous flow technology being developed

CSIRO Project

In June 2017, MVP entered into an agreement with the 
CSIRO to further develop our manufacturing technology and 
capability for application to other pharmaceutical products. 
Our collective ambition is to develop the next generation 
of manufacturing technologies to make pharmaceutical 
products at a significantly reduced cost, improved quality, 
and lower risk to commercial scale compared with traditional 
processes. 

In February, MVP announced it has successfully completed 
a small-scale production run for Lidocaine using MVP’s 
new continuous flow manufacturing technology. Since then 
we have successfully run a series of pilot scale continuous 
flow production runs proving a successful scale up and 
commercial viability. Whilst these production runs are 
typically not considered to be commercially competitive 
in terms of costing, our results are extremely positive, and 
we have initiated preliminary discussions with commercial 
parties.

•  Synthetic cannabinoids - Continuous flow technology 

being developed 

•  Other target products include Ziprasidone, Isoflurane, 

Donepezil and Salmeterol. Some of these products share 
the same continuous flow technology being developed 
for the targets listed above. These products will be 
pursued once the technology for the priority target 
products is proven at a commercially viable scale.

As part of our project we have discovered and are 
proceeding to patent an important ‘new intermediate 
molecule’ used to manufacture Diclofenac using traditional 
manufacturing techniques. On face value this new 
intermediate molecule may deliver significant benefits to the 
existing ‘batch’ manufacturing process.

We are very pleased with the progress of this initiative 
and confident it will deliver several valuable commercial 
opportunities to our business.

Product Development

In November 2017 MVP filed an additional Patent 
Application protecting a new Penthrox® delivery device 
technology. To date and in total, we have filed six Patent 
Applications to protect Penthrox®.

MVP also refiled its Patent Application to protect its new 
Penthrox® manufacturing technology and we expect 
valuable intellectual property to be generated from our 
CSIRO project in due course also.

of 2016 to cater for the workload resulting from the ongoing 
registration activity and planned new market launches over 
the next 6-12 months. We are now well placed for the future 
and do not expect further significant investment.

The tax rate applying to MVP in FY18 has lowered from 
30% to 27.5% and resulted in the required restatement 
of the company’s opening deferred tax asset as at 1 July 
2017. This accounting change resulted in the lowering of 
the opening deferred tax asset, creating an additional $107k 
charge to income tax expense in FY18, thereby further 
reducing reported net profit after tax.

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

30 June 2018. 

Operating Expenses grew 17% for the period. In FY18 MVP 
experienced increased ‘pharmacovigilance’ costs as a result 
of expanding geographic sales for Penthrox® and Medical 
Devices. Marketing expenses also increased because 
of increased promotional activity in the USA. Other key 
expense increases were utilities, insurance and loan  
finance costs. 

MVP continues to invest in our business and people. MVP 
has employed over 30 additional people since the beginning 

The Board of Directors has declared a fully franked full year 
dividend of 2 cents per share to the holders of fully paid 
ordinary shares as at the record date of 31 August 2018 
to be paid to shareholders on 5 October 2018. A Dividend 
Reinvestment Plan is again being offered.

Cash flow

During the year MVP invested:

•  $7.1 million in clinical trials for Penthrox®;

•  $0.8 million in our manufacturing development program 

with the CSIRO; and

•  $1.8 million in our manufacturing facility.

At year end MVP’s net bank debt was $8.2 million.

Outlook

MVP’s ambition is to globalise Penthrox®, and in doing  
so, make it the mainstream analgesic of choice around 
the world. 

Over the next 12 months we expect to:

•  commence sales into a further 23 new European 

countries, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, South 
Korea and Hong Kong;

•  consolidate and grow our Respiratory Device sales in  

the USA, Europe and elsewhere;

•  progress our USA Penthrox® registration;

•  conclude additional distribution partnerships for 

Penthrox® and Respiratory Devices for new countries;

•  advance work on producing other analgesic and 

pharmaceutical products using the intellectual property 
that is our new manufacturing process; and

•  continue our clinical program to extend the indication for 

use of Penthrox® globally.

Over the next few years our global market approvals and 
‘indication extensions’ are expected to deliver strong growth.

Medical Developments International LimitedAnnual Financial Report 2018 
Our Respiratory Devices are leaders in the field. We will continue our global expansion and build our USA business. 

We expect to deliver new partnership deals, expand our product offering and grow sales significantly. Our initiative to 
develop new production technologies is progressing as well and we have identified several potential products which we think 
will deliver value to shareholders.

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.

We look forward to reporting our progress and successes.

Thank you

We would like to thank our staff, our trading partners and shareholders for their efforts and support and look forward to  
further success in FY19 and beyond.

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 customers 
(hospitals, general practice, dental and cosmetic) 
domestically and continue to grow the countries that 
can be served by Penthrox®. FY19 will see Penthrox® 
launched into multiple new countries.

Product Suite

MVP is continuing to develop additional formulations  
of Penthrox® to provide improve convenience, utility 
and value for its customers. This includes investing 
in the product development of a next generation 
Penthrox® inhalers.

Building our 
product range

MVP’s focus in FY19 will be to add to our 
established 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

•  Penthrox® Inhaler

•  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:

•  The strength of the Allersearch brand in 

Australian Hospitals and Pharmacies through 
our distribution partner

•  The acquisition 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 13,000 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.

Review of 
Operations
Penthrox® Developments

United States of America

Recent developments in the USA around opioid addiction 
and abuse make the clinical need and market opportunity 
for Penthrox® more urgent. 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 should offer a 
compelling solution. 

MVP completed the clinical and non-clinical studies required 
to open an IND, which we believe to be the critical step in 
the pathway to approval. The clinical and non-clinical work 
in several cases repeats work done elsewhere. The data 
collected reconfirms what we know and what has been 
accepted by regulators in Europe and elsewhere in the 
world.

MVP submitted the Investigational New Drug application on 
29 June 2018. 

On 25 July the FDA contacted MVP stating that it had 
questions about the IND application and until such time as 
those questions were answered the IND was on “Clinical 
Hold”.

The FDA advised they are writing to MVP to detail its 
questions and MVP expect to receive FDA’s written 
correspondence within two months of the meeting.

At this stage MVP remain confident that we will be able to 
supply the FDA with the additional information it requires. 
Our confidence is based on our 30+ years of experience, 
Penthrox® demonstrated safety profile over that time, our 
recent achievements in getting Penthrox® approval for sale in 
more than 28 countries in the last few years and our ongoing 
clinical work being performed around the world.

MVP continues to discuss its commercial plans to sell 
Penthrox® in the United States with interested parties.

Europe

Hong Kong

Bureaucratic delays meant Marketing Authorisations were 
received for 23 new countries during the last few months 
of FY18. Consequently sales into these markets have been 
pushed into FY19. MVP has sales orders on hand for 7 new 
European countries and product launches are planned in the 
coming months. MVP expect the remaining countries to be 
launched throughout FY19.

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. 

We expect Marketing Authorisation to be approved for 
Penthrox® during H1FY19 and sales to begin.

Singapore and South Africa

Sales into Singapore fell whilst sales into South Africa 
continue to be frustrated because of bureaucratic delays in 
‘down-scheduling’ Penthrox® so it can be used more freely 
in ambulance and hospitals. 

South Korea

We continue to work with our partners and the regulatory 
authorities to get Penthrox® approved for sale in South 
Korea.

France

Russia

Penthrox® was launched in the French and Belgium markets 
in 2017 and feedback from these markets continues to be 
very positive. France now has approval from 121 hospitals 
and 248 customers which are buying and using Penthrox®. 
In market sales grew 66% for Q3FY18.

UK and Ireland

In the UK and Ireland, Galen continues to make good 
progress. In May 2018 MVP supplied its fourth order. Sales 
to the UK and Ireland are up 51% vs FY17. Penthrox® sales 
continue to grow into hospitals in the UK and Ireland. 103 
hospitals have now approved Penthrox® into formulary 
listing and 385 customers in total are using the product. 
These include seven of the eleven Major Trauma Centres in 
the UK. 

The Joint Royal College Ambulance Liaison Committee 
(‘JRCALC’) approved the use of Penthrox® across all 
ambulance services in the UK during November 2017. Three 
ambulance services have adopted Penthrox® and a number 
of Ambulance Trusts are actively engaging in protocol 
assessments.

Penthrox® is being used in all ambulance services and major 
hospitals in Ireland.

Australia

Penthrox® maintained its strong presence in its traditional 
market of Ambulance. Sales of Penthrox® to the Australian 
ambulance was flat. Sales to hospitals grew 9%. Penthrox® 
is now sold into more than 200 hospitals and medical clinics.

New Zealand

During FY18, New Zealand St John’s Ambulance removed 
Nitrous Oxide from service and replaced it with Penthrox®. 
Sales grew 52% during FY18.

Middle East

Sales in the Middle East dropped 14% during FY18, mainly 
because of regional instability affecting Qatar and the UAE. 
We expect a number of new Marketing Authorisations will be 
approved during FY19 including for Saudi Arabia, Jordan, 
Iraq and Iran which will deliver sales growth in the region.

In May 2017 Russia announced it was coordinating 
its Marketing Authorisation approval process for 
pharmaceuticals in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). The 
Union includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Armenia and 
Kyrgyzstan; and Marketing Authorisations granted under 
the new EEU will mean the product can be sold in all five 
countries. The formal acceptance of Marketing Authorisation 
submissions is expected to commence in September 2018. 
MVP and its Russian partner plan to submit the Marketing 
Authorisation application and achieve the approval to sell 
Penthrox® by FY20.

Future for Penthrox® 

MVP continues to negotiate with interested parties from 
around the world in terms of registering and selling 
Penthrox®. Several 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, China and Asia. 

Respiratory 
Developments

Overall gross revenue from respiratory devices was 2% down. 

MVP maintained its market leadership position even though 
sales in Australia fell 6% (year on year) because we launched 
six new products during H1FY17 and received strong 
“first stocking “orders. Whilst we received follow up orders 
during FY18, the size of the initial stocking orders was not 
replicated in FY18. MVP has plans for product launches in 
FY19 and we expect sales from our Australian business to 
grow.

Sales into the USA market grew 15% and we continue to 
build our business in that market. 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.

Medical Developments International LimitedAnnual Financial Report 2018Sales into Europe and the UK grew 35% and this region 
continues to make a significant contribution to our business.

Studies underway to extend the use of Penthrox® in 
Trauma for Children

Clinical Developments

MVP invested $7.1m in clinical and research programs 
during FY18 (FY17: $2.9m). 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. In parallel we are conducting a large pivotal children 
study to expand the trauma indication into children within the 
EU. The benefit of this extension could be available to our 
partners in Europe and, more importantly, it could provide 
the additional clinical data to have the market opportunity 
for Penthrox® extended in jurisdictions worldwide. By 
way of example, we believe the global market for minor 
Surgical Procedures is bigger than the global opportunity for 
Penthrox® in Trauma Pain, our traditional market.

Studies completed and underway to develop the 
Trauma indication and support the use of Penthrox® 
around the world

•  Spain Randomised controlled trial reimbursement study 

(MVP Partner)

European randomised controlled trial comparing 
methoxyflurane vs placebo in children 6-17 years of age 
(MVP).  This trial recruited its first patient in July 2017 and 
is now almost 40% recruited.  Progress is steady, and we 
expect to have the initial review of safety data completed 
before the end of this year.  One of the issues for recruitment 
is that enrolment relies on parental consent of children 
who have suffered trauma pain, and naturally parents are 
reluctant to enrol their child, particularly in the younger age 
groups.

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.

Commercial 
Developments

New Manufacturing Facility

Our new purpose-built state of the art manufacturing 
facility in Scoresby was completed during 2017 and was 
audited and approved by the TGA and European regulatory 
authorities.  MVP received the GMP Licence from the TGA 
for the facility in March 2018 and production has begun. 
To give some perspective as to the capability of our new 
technology, we expect to be able to manufacture the 
equivalent of our global 2017 demand for Penthrox® in only 
8 weeks.

Our facility also houses MVP’s state of the art R&D product 
testing laboratories. 

CSIRO Project

In June 2017, MVP entered into an agreement with the 
CSIRO to further develop our manufacturing technology and 
capability for application to other pharmaceutical products.  
Our collective ambition is to develop the next generation 
of manufacturing technologies to make pharmaceutical 
products at a significantly reduced cost, improved quality, 
and lower risk to commercial scale compared with traditional 
processes. 

In February, MVP announced it has successfully completed 
a small-scale production run for Lidocaine using MVP’s 
new continuous flow manufacturing technology. Since then 
we have successfully run a series of pilot scale continuous 
flow production runs proving a successful scale up and 
commercial viability. Whilst these production runs are 
typically not considered to be commercially competitive 
in terms of costing, our results are extremely positive, and 
we have initiated preliminary discussions with commercial 
parties.

Lidocaine has worldwide sales of approximately $3.4 billion. 
It is a common local anaesthetic and antiarrhythmic drug. It 
is injected as a local anaesthetic for minor surgery and used 
as a dental anaesthetic.  

The platform technology is the same as that used for the 
manufacture of Penthrox®. Accordingly, MVP expects the 
benefits of the new technology may include significant 
cost reductions, improved consistency in terms of quality 
and yield, better scalability and improved safety, than that 
currently used to manufacture the drug.

Medical Developments International LimitedAnnual Financial Report 2018Our scientific development team includes some of 
Australia’s and the world’s leading experts in small molecule 
manufacture and continuous flow technology. Good 
progress is being made on several pharmaceutical products 
which we detail as follow:

•  Lidocaine – Proven manufacturing process using 

continuous flow technology at commercially viable 
manufacturing scale. Writing invention statement and 
developing patent. Discussion have commenced with 
potential interested parties

•  Diclofenac – Proven manufacturing process using 
continuous flow technology. Moving to small scale 
production testing. Writing invention statement and 
developing patent.

•  Salbutamol - Proven manufacturing process using 
continuous flow technology. Moving to small scale 
production testing. Writing invention statement and 
developing patent

•  Sevoflurane – New batch manufacturing process 

invented. Continuous flow technology being developed

•  Synthetic cannabinoids - Continuous flow technology 

being developed. 

Vet

Our Vet business grew 11% in FY18 on the back of a 
significant new deal with one of the USA’s largest veterinary 
medical device companies. 

FY18 Full Year Financial 
Result

Whilst revenue was down year on year, gross margins 
increased 3% to 71%.

MVP recorded $2.2m as revenue from the amortisation of 
upfront and milestone payments received as at 30 June 
2018. 

Operating Expenses grew 17% for the period. In FY18 MVP 
experienced increased “pharmacovigilance” costs as a result 
of expanding geographic sales for Penthrox® and Medical 
Devices. Marketing expenses also increased because 
of increased promotional activity in the USA. Other key 
expense increases were utilities, insurance and loan finance 
costs.  

•  Other target products include Ziprasidone, Isoflurane, 
Donepezil and Salmeterol.  Some of these products 
share the same continuous flow technology being 
developed for the targets listed above. These products 
will be pursued once the technology for the priority target 
products is proven at a commercially viable scale.

MVP continues to invest in our business and people. MVP 
has employed over 30 additional 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 6-12 months. We are now well placed for the future 
and do not expect further significant investment.

As part of our project we have discovered and are 
proceeding to patent an important ‘new intermediate 
molecule’ used to manufacture Diclofenac using traditional 
manufacturing techniques. On face value this new 
intermediate molecule may deliver significant benefits to the 
existing ‘batch’ manufacturing process.

We are very pleased with the progress of this initiative 
and confident it will deliver several valuable commercial 
opportunities to our business.

Product Development

In November 2017 MVP filed an additional Patent 
Application protecting a new Penthrox® delivery device 
technology. To date and in total, we have filed six Patent 
Applications to protect Penthrox®.

MVP also refiled its Patent Application to protect its new 
Penthrox® manufacturing technology and we expect 
valuable intellectual property to be generated from our 
CSIRO project in due course also.

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

The tax rate applying to MVP in FY18 has lowered from 
30% to 27.5% and resulted in the required restatement 
of the company’s opening deferred tax asset as at 1 July 
2017. This accounting change resulted in the lowering of 
the opening deferred tax asset, creating an additional $107k 
charge to income tax expense in FY18, thereby further 
reducing reported net profit after tax.

Cash flow

During the year MVP invested:

•  $7.1 million in clinical trials for Penthrox®;

•  $0.8 million in our manufacturing development program 

with the CSIRO; and

•  $1.8 million in our manufacturing facility

Dividend

The Board of Directors has declared a fully franked full year 
dividend of 2 cents per share to the holders of fully paid 
ordinary shares as at the record date of 31 August 2018 
to be paid to shareholders on 5 October 2018. A Dividend 
Reinvestment Plan is again being offered.

Financial Position

The capital structure of the Group remained stable during 
the period. 

•  The debt facility available to the company was drawn 

down $8.969m as at 30 June 2018 (net bank debt was 
$8.2m); and

•  A capital raising was announced post year end (refer 

Subsequent Events discussion below) 

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

1.  On 18 July 2018 the Company announced it has agreed 

to a Long-Term Incentive Plan ‘LTIP’ with Mr. John 
Sharman (CEO) to encourage his long-term commitment 
to the business. Under the plan Mr. Sharman has been 
granted 300,000 options with a strike price of $0.01. The 
options will only vest on the earlier of FDA approval of 
Penthrox® for sale in the USA or the company receives 
an unconditional takeover offer worth more than $300m.  
When the LTIP has met its vesting criteria, Mr. Sharman 
will have 3 months to exercise the options, after which 
the options will lapse. 60% of any new shares issued by 
exercising options will be escrowed for a period of 12 
months from issue date. In the case of an unconditional 
takeover, the escrow conditions will not apply. All 
outstanding options will be cancelled if Mr. Sharman 
leaves or he is no longer employed by MVP for any 
reason. 

2.  On 25 July 2018 the Company advised that it met 

with the Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’) for the 
United States of America. The FDA has advised that the 
clinical program for Penthrox® to be approved for sale in 
the USA is to be put on hold pending a letter outlining 
outstanding issues and concerns. That letter was 
expected within two months of the announcement.

3.  On 8 August 2018 The Company announced that it had 
completed a capital raising by way of private placement 
to sophisticated and institutional investors that had 
raised $17m. The Company announced that it would 
also invite existing shareholders to invest in the company 
via a Share Purchase Plan (SPP). The details relating to 
the SPP are expected to be finalised and released in a 
formal offer document by Wednesday 22 August 2018.

4.  On the 17th August 2018 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 31 August 2018, to be paid to the 
shareholders on the 5 October 2018. This dividend 
has not been included as a liability in these financial 
statements.

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 
years.

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 
June 2018 is:

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 EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation 
and Amortisation and 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 graph and table that follows, depict the company’s 
earnings for the current financial year and the previous seven 
financial years, which demonstrate that the company has 
been consistently profitable.

In FY17, 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. 

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 2018 financial year, discretionary bonuses 
totalling $54,566 (2017: $167,066) were determined and 
approved by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee 
in relation to key management personnel in respect of their 
performance in the 2017 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 services and totalled $29,790. 
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.

Corporate governance statement 

A copy of the Company’s Corporate Governance statement 
can be found at www.medicaldev.com/investors-media

Auditor’s independence declaration

Medical Developments International LimitedAnnual Financial Report 2018Notes to the Financial Statements  
for the Financial Year Ended 30 June 2018

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 17 August 2018.

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 

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.

Medical Developments International LimitedAnnual Financial Report 2018 
 
 
 
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 
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

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, 
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.

(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.

Medical Developments International LimitedAnnual Financial Report 2018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.

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 5-10 
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 - 10 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.

Brand names

Brand names 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, brand names are 
allocated to the relevant Group cash generating unit to 
which they relate. 

(m) Inventories

Depreciation

(s) Share based payments

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.

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.

(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 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 

5-10 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.

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 control of the product to the buyer. 
Settlement and volume discounts granted to customers are 
accounted as offsets against sales. 

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate basis 
that takes into account the effective yield on the financial 
asset.

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. 

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. 
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

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 2017, and 
therefore relevant to the Group for the current year end:

•  AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards

•  AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for 
Unrealised Losses.

•  AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards - Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to 
AASB107.

•  AASB 2017-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Further Annual Improvements 2014-2016.

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.

AASB 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ - Following an 
assessment of the requirements of this standard, the Group expects 
that there will not be a material impact on the revenue recognition 
criteria currently applied by The Group.

 The Group will adopt AASB 15 from 1 July 2018.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments - This standard includes new 
requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and 
hedge accounting of financial instruments compared with the 
requirements of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurement. Following a detailed assessment of the requirements 
of the standard, the Group expects that there will not be a material 
impact on the financial statements on application. 

The Group will adopt AASB 9 from 1 July 2018.

AASB 16 Leases - This standard contains requirements about lease 
classification and recognition, measurement and presentation and 
disclosures of leases for lessees and lessors. On the adoption of 
AASB 16, MVP will recognise office leases as right-of-use assets 
and lease liabilities. The occupancy expenses will be replaced by 
depreciation charge and finance cost. 

The Group have yet to assess the financial impact of the 
adoption of this Standard in future periods on the financial 
statements of the Group.

Change in accounting policy – deferred 
tax measurement relating to indefinite life 
intangible assets

During the period, the IFRS Interpretations Committee 
issued its agenda decision related to the expected 
manner of recovery of indefinite life intangible assets. The 
Committee was asked to clarify how an entity determines 
the expected manner of recovery of an intangible asset 
with an indefinite useful life for deferred tax measurement 
purposes. The Committee indicated that the fact that an 
entity does not amortise an indefinite life intangible asset 
does not necessarily mean that the carrying amount will 
be recovered only through sale and not use. Therefore, the 
entity should determine the expected manner of recovery of 
the carrying amount of the intangible asset. Previously the 
Group measured deferred tax liabilities on the assumption of 
the tax consequences that would arise solely from the sale 
of the assets. Under its new policy, the Group considers its 
expected manner of recovery. 

The Group has implemented this guidance on a 
retrospective basis as a change in accounting policy to 
AASB 112 Income Taxes. The impact on the 30 June 2018 
financial statements was to increase Goodwill and Deferred 
Tax Liabilities by $221,500.

2. 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 $9,095,000 (2017: $9,095,000). Details of the 
impairment calculation are provided in note 13.

Useful life of capitalised registration costs

•  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.

Going Concern

The FY18 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 2018 as the Group is profitable, generates 
positive operating cash flows, has completed a capital 
raising subsequent to year end, has access to a loan facility 
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.

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.

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

•  Veterinary Products – the sale of veterinary products 

within Australia, Europe, and Asia.

•  Expenditure relates to development activity and not 

research activity,

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.

Net book value

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:

Pharmaceuticals: 

12.5% based on expansion into  
new markets

During the year, the company assessed the recoverable 
amount of goodwill and determined that there was no 
impairment (2017: $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

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 14.66% per 
annum (2017: 14.64% 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 6.26%. 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 and has a limit of $11m. The current weighted-
average effective interest rate on the bill is 3.59% p.a. 
As at 30 June 2018, the facility has been drawn down 
to $8.969m. 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 2018, the stage 1a, 1b and Stage 2 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%. 

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

June 2018, this remains unused.

27. Related party    
  disclosures

There were no related party transactions during the 2018 
financial year.

Balances and transactions between the Company and its 
subsidiaries which are related parties of the company have 
been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in 
this note.

Please also refer to note 6 for details of Key Management 
Personnel compensation.

Under the plan Mr. Sharman has been granted 300,000 
options with a strike price of $0.01. The options will only 
vest on the earlier of FDA approval of Penthrox® for sale 
in the USA or the company receives an unconditional 
takeover offer worth more than $300m.

When the LTIP has met its vesting criteria, Mr. Sharman 
will have 3 months to exercise the options, after which 
the options will lapse. 60% of any new shares issued by 
exercising options will be escrowed for a period of 12 
months from issue date. In the case of an unconditional 
takeover, the escrow conditions will not apply.

All outstanding options will be cancelled if Mr. Sharman 
leaves or he is no longer employed by MVP for any 
reason.

2.  On 25 July 2018 the Company advised that it met 

with the Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’) for the 
United States of America. The FDA has advised that the 
clinical program for Penthrox® to be approved for sale in 
the USA is to be put on hold pending a letter outlining 
outstanding issues and concerns. That letter was 
expected within two months of the announcement.

3.  On 8 August 2018 The Company announced that it had 
completed a capital raising by way of private placement 
to sophisticated and institutional investors that had 
raised $17m. The Company announced that it would 
also invite existing shareholders to invest in the company 
via a Share Purchase Plan (SPP). The details relating to 
the SPP are expected to be finalised and released in a 
formal offer document by Wednesday 22 August 2018.

4.  On the 17th August 2018 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 31 August 2018, to be paid to the 
shareholders on the 5 October 2018. This dividend 
has not been included as a liability in these financial 
statements.

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 
years.

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 2018 is 40% (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 included a financial covenant whereby 
the debt service cover ratio must be greater than 2.0 times. 
From 1 July 2018 an Operating Leverage ratio of less than 
2.50 times is also required. 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.

(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:

GBP Impact

2018 
$’000

(100)

2017 
$’000

(111)

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.

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 2018 and 30 
June 2017.
