CHAIRMAN’S  
& CEO’S REPORT

A record year 
for MVP

Medical Developments International Limited (“MDI”) (ASX: MVP) reported a 327% increase in Net 
Profit after Tax to $1.038m (FY18 $0.243m) for the twelve months ended 30 June 2019. Revenue 
increased 19% to a record $21.4 million (FY18 $17.9 million) and Earnings Before Interest, Tax, 
Depreciation and Amortisation increased 55% to $3.441m (FY18: $2.223m).

Sales of Penthrox® grew 47% overall and sales to Australian Ambulance grew 38%. Sales into 
Europe grew 401% and after incurring significant delays, the roll out of Penthrox® in Europe is 
underway. Sales of Penthrox® into the UK grew 68% and sales into Canada grew 294%.

Respiratory sales were down slightly, driven almost entirely by the issue we had in the UK. 
Respiratory sales excluding the UK grew 11% globally and USA sales grew 62%. Sales in Australia 
were lower and sales into New Zealand grew 172%.

GREEN in more ways than one

In December 2018 MVP completed the installation of a 245kW large scale solar PV system at our head office 
and state of the art manufacturing facility in Scoresby.

The installation involved approximately 600 high wattage panels to maximise energy production and has 
resulted in MVP being largely self-sufficient in terms of its energy needs during business hours on sunny 
days between October and March.

The system significantly reduces MVP’s CO2 emissions (saving in excess of 401,218 kg of carbon emissions) and 
also reduces the energy costs at our Scoresby based facility by in excess of $75k per annum.

Penthrox®
United States of America
MVP met with the Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) in June 2019 and:

•  The FDA agreed that a previously mandated 

animal study to predict idiosyncratic liver reaction 
to Penthrox® would not be needed.

•  MVP agreed to conduct a required animal study 
that replicates the human dosing regimen for 
Penthrox®. MVP expects the study to take 6 
months to complete.

MVP expects to be in a position to address in full, all 
the clinical hold issues during the first quarter of 
2020 with a view to refiling our IND in mid-2020.

MVP remains confident we will be able to supply the 
FDA with the additional information it requires. Our 
confidence is based on 30+ years of experience, the 
demonstrated safety profile of Penthrox® over that 
time, the additional clinical data we have to support 
our IND including our Post Authorisation Safety 
Study, PK study, our ongoing clinical development 
program and our recent achievements in getting 
Penthrox® approved for sale in more than 40 
countries around the world.

Medical Developments International LimitedPenthrox® USA update

Europe
European Penthrox® sales (excluding UK/Ireland) 
grew 401%, despite the frustrating regulatory delays 
we have incurred over the last 12 months. Whilst 
initial orders have been placed for several countries, 
most of Europe is still to launch Penthrox® including 
Germany, Italy and Spain.

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 have 1,058 customers buying Penthrox® in 
Europe and believe that number will grow to 
between 5,000 and 10,000 as Penthrox® becomes a 
mainstream analgesic in every European market.

France
In market sales grew 55% in FY19 and feedback 
from these markets continues to be positive. France 
now has 359 customers which are buying and using 
Penthrox®.

UK and Ireland
In the UK and Ireland, Galen continues to make good 
progress. Sales to the UK and Ireland are up 68% 
and in-market sales grew 86%. There are now 540 
customers in total using the product. These include 
seven of the eleven Major Trauma Centres in the UK.

Whilst Penthrox® is being used in all Ambulance 
Services and major hospitals in Ireland the roll out 
into UK ambulances continues. This process has 
been frustratingly slow but the feedback from the 

Ambulance Services and Galen is that Penthrox® will 
be a success.

Australia
Australian sales of Penthrox® grew 32% in FY19 and 
sales to Ambulance was up 38%.

During the year MVP signed an agreement with 
Mundipharma Australia for the exclusive distribution 
rights of Penthrox® in Australia. This led to a large 
stocking order that was delivered in June 19. Even 
excluding the impact of this, Australian Penthrox® 
sales still grew 14%. Mundipharma’s presence in the 
field is expected to lead to strong sales growth in the 
short to medium term, particularly within General 
Practitioner and Hospital channels.

Penthrox® is now sold into more than 200 hospitals 
and medical clinics in Australia.

New Zealand
Penthrox® continues to perform strongly in New 
Zealand since being listed as the first line analgesic 
for New Zealand ambulance, and Nitrous Oxide 
being removed as a competitor. Sales to New 
Zealand grew 12% in FY19.

Annual Financial Report 2019Rest of World
The Chinese Regulatory approval is well underway. The IND has been submitted to the Chinese FDA and we 
expect to have the IND open during 2019.

Penthrox® clinical program for China

Future for Penthrox®

MVP continues to negotiate with interested parties from around the world in terms of registering and 
selling Penthrox®, whilst concurrently pursuing other important international regulatory submissions and 
preparations in countries including USA, China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Thailand and South Korea.

4

Medical Developments International LimitedRespiratory

Respiratory device sales were down 5% in FY19, 
driven almost entirely by the issue we had in the UK. 
Global sales (excluding the UK which declined 53%) 
grew 11%. MVP has restructured the UK business 
which delivered an improved performance in the 
second half of FY19 and we anticipate good sales 
growth in the coming year.

Sales into the USA market grew 62% 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 and 
we continue to negotiate new distribution deals with 
some of the larger pharmacy chains in the USA. We 
expect to deliver significant sales growth in the USA 
in the years ahead.

Sales of Breath-A-Tech® grew 9% in Australia, but 
that growth was largely offset by a drop in sales from 
certain distributors. Overall Australian sales were 
steady whilst sales into New Zealand grew 172%.

Sales into Asia grew 111%.

Clinical

MVP invested $6.8m in clinical and research 
programs during FY19 (FY18: $7.1m). 

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

a. Paediatrics globally;

b. Minor surgical procedures;

c.  Breakthrough post-operative and cancer pain;

d. Repeat use scenarios; and ultimately

e. Home use.

Our partners in Europe have completed one of the 
required studies in Europe for the Minor Surgical 
Procedures indication. We believe the global market 
for Penthrox® in Surgical Procedures is more 
valuable than the market for Trauma Pain.

MVP is conducting a Pivotal Paediatric Phase III 
study in the UK and Ireland. Enrolment is steady but 
slower than we would like due to the nature of young 
children participating in pain trials. Enrolment has 
reached 60% and we expect a successful outcome to 
expand the sales of Penthrox® globally.

MVP has recently completed a Phase 1 
Pharmacokinetic Study which characterises how the 
drug moves through the human body. This 56-patient 
escalating dose study has been successfully 
completed and will be invaluable to other 
registrations around the world including the USA.

Our Post Authorisation Safety Study in the UK has 
recently completed recruiting with reporting to be 
finalised in the coming months.

Commercial
New Technology Project
Our ambition is to develop the next generation of 
manufacturing technologies to make pharmaceutical 
products at a significantly reduced cost, improved 
quality, and lower risk 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 
focussed our efforts and successfully run a series of 
pilot scale continuous flow production runs proving 
a successful scale up and commercial viability. 
We have initiated preliminary discussions with 
commercial parties to licence or sell the technology 
and expect to have an outcome during FY20.

Veterinary

Our Vet business fell 18% in FY19, attributed to a 
launch order in FY18 with one of the USA’s largest 
veterinary medical device companies that was not 
repeated in FY19. Despite the fall in revenue, the 
segment continues to be profitable.

FY19 Full Year 
Result
Gross revenue was a record 
$21.4m.
Gross margins decreased slightly in FY19 from 68% 
to 66%, reflecting a higher weighting of international 
Penthrox® sales that are typically lower margin.

5

Annual Financial Report 2019Operating Expenses grew 8% for the period because 
of increased:

•  pharmacovigilance costs as a result of expanding 

geographic sales base;

•  cost of employee share based payments;

•  marketing expenses as a result of expanding 

geographic sales; and

•  insurance related costs as a result of increasing 

industry premiums.

Cash flow
During the year MVP invested:

•  $6.8 million in clinical trials and registrations for 

Penthrox®;

•  $1.1 million in our manufacturing development 

program with the CSIRO; and

•  $1.5 million in various manufacturing equipment 

and leasehold improvements.

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:

•  complete role out of Penthrox® into remaining 

European countries, Mexico, Iran, Jordan, South 
Korea and Thailand; 

•  consolidate and grow our Respiratory Device sales 

in the USA, Europe and elsewhere;

•  submit a response to the FDA clinical hold and 
resubmit our IND for Penthrox® in the USA;

•  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” for Penthrox® are 
expected to deliver strong growth, as will our 
respiratory device business. 

We look forward to reporting our progress and 
successes.

Pharmaceutical
MVP is a world leader in the 
management of acute and 
procedural pain.

Building our business

MVP manufactures its world leading inhaled analgesic 
from its premises located Scoresby and 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 a core 
medication 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 via our partnership with 
Mundipharma Australia and continue to grow the 
countries that can be served by Penthrox®. FY20 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.

The market

MVP offers a range of open and closed circuit 
anaesthetic machines to the veterinary market, 
which are popularly known as Komesaroff 
anaesthetic machines. MVP has developed a unique 
market position regarding the design, manufacture 
and supply of closed circuit anaesthetic machines 
to this particular niche market in Europe. 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), MVP expect to continue to expand in 
Asia and North America via various distributors.

Building our product range

MVP’s focus in FY20 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 15,000 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

MVP met with the Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) in June 2019 and:

•  The FDA agreed that a previously mandated 

animal study to predict idiosyncratic liver reaction 
to Penthrox® would not be needed.

•  MVP agreed to conduct a required animal study 
that replicates the human dosing regimen for 
Penthrox®. MVP expects the study to take 6 
months to complete.

MVP expects to be in a position to address in full, all 
the clinical hold issues during the first quarter of 
2020 with a view to refiling our Investigational New 
Drug (IND) application in mid-2020.

MVP remains confident we will be able to supply the 
FDA with the additional information it requires. Our 
confidence is based on 30+ years of experience, the 
demonstrated safety profile of Penthrox® over that 
time, the additional clinical data we have to support 
our IND including our Post Authorisation Safety 
Study, PK study, our ongoing clinical development 
program and our recent achievements in getting 
Penthrox® approved for sale in more than 40 
countries around the world.

 “

MVP expect to submit our 
full response to the FDA IND 
clinical hold by mid 2020

Annual Financial Report 2019 
Europe

New Zealand

European Penthrox® sales (excluding UK/Ireland) 
grew 401%, despite the frustrating regulatory delays 
we have incurred over the last 12 months. Whilst 
initial orders have been placed for several countries, 
most of Europe is still to launch Penthrox® including 
Germany, Italy and Spain. 

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 have 1,058 customers buying Penthrox® in 
Europe and believe that number will grow to 
between 5,000 and 10,000 as Penthrox® becomes a 
mainstream analgesic in every European market.

France 

In market sales grew 55% in FY19 and feedback 
from the market continues to be positive. France 
now has 359 customers which are buying and using 
Penthrox®. 

UK and Ireland

In the UK and Ireland, Galen continues to make good 
progress. Sales to the UK and Ireland are up 68% 
and in-market sales grew 86%. There are now 540 
customers in total using the product. These include 
seven of the eleven Major Trauma Centres in the UK. 

Whilst Penthrox® is being used in all Ambulance 
Services and major hospitals in Ireland the roll out 
into UK ambulances continues. This process has 
been frustratingly slow but the feedback from the 
Ambulance Services and Galen is that Penthrox® 
will be a success as protocols gradually incorporate 
Penthrox®.

Australia

Australian sales of Penthrox® grew 32% in FY19 and 
sales to Ambulance was up 38%. 

During the year MVP signed an agreement with 
Mundipharma Australia for the exclusive distribution 
rights of Penthrox® in Australia. This led to a large 
stocking order that was delivered in June 19. Even 
excluding the impact of this, Australian Penthrox® 
sales still grew by 14%. Mundipharma’s presence in 
the field is expected to lead to strong sales growth 
in the short to medium term, particularly within 
General Practitioner and Hospital channels.

Penthrox® is now sold into more than 200 hospitals 
and medical clinics in Australia.

Penthrox® continues to perform strongly in New 
Zealand since being listed as the first line analgesic 
for New Zealand ambulance, and Nitrous Oxide 
being removed as a competitor. Sales to  
New Zealand grew 12% in FY19. 

Penthrox®: Rest of World

Since receipt of the $20.8m upfront payment, the 
Chinese Regulatory approval is well underway. The 
IND has been submitted to the Chinese FDA and we 
expect to have the IND open during 2019.

MVP continues to negotiate with interested parties 
from around the world in terms of registering 
and selling Penthrox®, whilst concurrently 
pursuing other important international regulatory 
submissions and preparations in countries including 
USA, China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Thailand and South 
Korea.

Respiratory 
Respiratory device sales were down 5% in FY19, 
driven almost entirely by the issue we had in the 
UK (overstocking of our distributor in FY18). Global 
sales (excluding the UK which declined 53%) grew 
11%. MVP has restructured the UK business which 
delivered an improved performance in the second 
half of FY19 and we anticipate good sales growth in 
the coming year. 

Sales into the USA market grew 62% 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 and 
we continue to negotiate new distribution deals with 
some of the larger pharmacy chains in the USA. We 
expect to deliver significant sales growth in the USA 
in the years ahead.

Sales of Breath-A-Tech® grew 9% in Australia, but 
that growth was largely offset by a drop in sales to 
certain distributors. Overall Australian sales were 
steady whilst sales into New Zealand grew 172%. 

Sales into Asia grew 111%.

Clinical 
MVP invested $6.8m in clinical and research 
programs during FY19 (FY18: $7.1m). Our longer-
term ambition is to gather enough clinical and safety 
data to extend the use of Penthrox® into:

a. Paediatrics globally

b. Minor surgical procedures; 

22

Medical Developments International Limitedc.  Breakthrough post-operative and cancer pain;

d. Repeat use scenarios; and ultimately

e. Home use.

Our partners in Europe have completed one of the 
required studies in Europe for the Minor Surgical 
Procedures indication. We believe the global market 
for Penthrox® in Surgical Procedures is more 
valuable than the market for Trauma Pain. 

MVP is conducting a Pivotal Paediatric Phase III 
study in the UK and Ireland. Enrolment is steady but 
slower than we would like due to the nature of young 
children participating in pain trials. Enrolment has 
reached 60% and we expect a successful outcome to 
expand the sales of Penthrox® globally. 

MVP has recently completed a Phase 1 
Pharmacokinetic Study which characterises how the 
drug moves through the human body. This 56-patient 
escalating dose study has been successfully 
completed and will be invaluable to other 
registrations around the world including the USA.

Our Post Authorisation Safety Study in the UK has 
recently completed recruiting with reporting to be 
finalised in the coming months. 

Commercial 

New Technology Project (CSIRO)

Our ambition is to develop the next generation of 
manufacturing technologies to make pharmaceutical 
products at a significantly reduced cost, improved 
quality, and lower risk 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 
focused our efforts and successfully run a series of 
pilot scale continuous flow production runs proving 
a successful scale up and commercial viability. 
We have initiated preliminary discussions with 
commercial parties to licence or sell the technology 
and expect to have an outcome during FY20.

 “

Vet
Our Vet revenue fell 18% in FY19, attributed to a 
launch order in FY18 with one of the USA’s largest 
veterinary medical device companies that was not 
repeated in FY19. Despite the fall in revenue, the 
segment continues to be profitable.

FY19 Full Year Financial 
Result
Gross revenue was a record $21.4 million.

Gross margins decreased slightly in FY19 from 68% 
to 66%, reflecting a higher weighting of international 
Penthrox® sales that are typically lower margin.

Operating Expenses grew 8% for the period because 
of increased:

•  pharmacovigilance costs as a result of expanding 

geographic sales base;

•  cost of employee share based payments;

•  marketing expenses as a result of expanding 

geographic sales; and

•  insurance related costs as a result of as a result 

of increasing industry premiums.

Cash flow
During the year MVP invested:

•  $6.8 million in clinical trials and registrations for 

Penthrox®;

•  $1.1 million in our manufacturing development 

program with the CSIRO; and

•  $1.5 million in various manufacturing equipment 

and leasehold improvements. 

Financial Position

A capital raising comprising of a $17m Institutional 
Placement and a $7.5m Share Purchase Plan 
was completed in August and September 2018 
respectively. Bank debt was repaid during the year.

MVP completed a successful 
$24.5 capital raise during the 
year placing the company in a 
strong financial position

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.

Annual Financial Report 2019Subsequent Events

On the 21st August 2019 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 4 September 2019 to be paid

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 2019 is:

Indemnification of Officers and Auditors

During the financial year, the company paid a 
premium in respect of a contract insuring the 
directors of the company (as named above) and all 
executive officers of the company against a liability 
incurred as such a director, secretary or executive 
officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations 
Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the 
amount of the premium.

The company has not otherwise, during or since 
the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed 
to indemnify an officer or auditor of the company 
against a liability incurred as such an officer or

Annual Financial Report 2019 
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 L. Hoare, 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 table and graph below 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 FY18, both Mr Sharman and Mr Edwards 
remuneration comprised a performance related 
component of $50,000 and $4,566 respectively. 
Director’s remuneration did not contain 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 2019 financial year, discretionary bonuses 
totalling $4,566 (2018: $54,566) were determined 
and approved by the Remuneration and Nominations 
Committee in relation to key management personnel

Under the Executive Option plan awards were made 
to executives who have an impact on the Group’s 
performance. LTI awards are delivered in the form of 
options over shares which vest on the achievement 
of specific performance measures. 

28

Medical Developments International LimitedThe fair value of share options granted is estimated 
at the date of grant using a Black Scholes option 
pricing model, taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the share options were 
granted including the option price, the life of the 
option, the share price of the underlying shares on 
grant date and the expected share price volatility.  
It also takes into account historical and expected 
dividends. There are no cash settlement alternatives 
for the employees and The Group does not have a 
past practice of cash settlement for these awards.

All outstanding options will be cancelled if the 
employee leaves or is no longer employed by MVP 
for any reason. When the Long-Term Incentive Plan 
“LTIP” has met its vesting criteria and delivers an 
entitlement to an equity interest, the employee 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. In the case of an unconditional takeover, 
the escrow conditions will not apply.

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 carry neither rights to dividends or 
voting rights. 

Executive share option plans

The following share-based payment arrangements 
were in existence during the current reporting 
period:

CEO Option Plan

On 18 July 2018 the company announced it has 
agreed to a LTIP with Mr. John Sharman, the CEO 
of Medical Developments International Limited 
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. 

Senior Management Option Plan

In September 2018 the company announced it has 
agreed to a LTIP with key Senior Management Team 
members.

Under the plan the effected Senior Management 
team members were granted 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 $350m. 

A summary of the options granted during the year and outstanding as at 30 June 2019 is outlined below:

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.

Melbourne, 21 August 2019

Fair value of share options granted during the 
year

As the options contain non-market performance 
hurdles, they have been valued using a ‘Black-
Scholes’ 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 nontransferability and exercise 
restrictions. Expected volatility is based on the 
historical share price volatility over the past 2 years.

Inputs into the option pricing model were as follows:

Grant date share price

Exercise price

Option Fair Value

Expected volatility

Expected option life

Dividend (Bi-annually)

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 ($26,300) 
and other audit related services ($10,675). 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.

1. Significant accounting 
policies

Statement of Compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial 
report which has been prepared in accordance with 
the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations, and complies with 
other requirements of the law. 

The financial statements comprise the consolidated 
financial statements of the Group.

For the purposes of preparing the consolidated 
financial statements, the Company is a for-profit 
entity. Accounting Standards include Australian 
Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian 
Accounting Standards ensures that the financial 
statements and notes of the company comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). 

The financial statements were authorised for issue 
by the directors on 21 August 2019.

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.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the 
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their 
accounting policies into line with those used by other 
members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and 
expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in 
subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing 
control are accounted for as equity transactions. 
The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests 
and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to 
reflect the changes in their relative interests in the 
subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by 

44

Medical Developments International Limited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.

(d) Financial assets

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables 
that have fixed or determinable payments that are 
not quoted in an active market are classified as 
‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are 
measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method less impairment.

Interest income is recognised by applying the 
effective interest rate.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value 
through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators 
of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial 
assets are impaired where there is objective 
evidence that as a result of one or more events that 
occurred after the initial recognition of the financial 
asset, the estimated future cash flows of the 
investment have been impacted. 

(e) Financial instruments 
issued by the company

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 

45

Annual Financial Report 2019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 

46

Medical Developments International Limited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.

47

Annual Financial Report 2019(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.

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.

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.

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.

48

Medical Developments International LimitedFinancial liabilities are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, with interest expense recognised on an 
effective yield basis. 

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.

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 

Plant and equipment 

5 - 10 years

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 

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.

(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 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 

49

Annual Financial Report 2019 
 
 
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
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounts Standards and amendments to Accounting 
Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current 
period that begins on or after 1 July 2018.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet 
adopted

At the date of authorisation of the financial 
statements, the Group has not applied the following 
new and revised Australian Accounts Standards, 
Interpretations and amendments that have been 
issued but are not yet effective:

New and revised Standards and amendments 
thereof and Interpretations effective for the current 
year that are relevant to the Group include:

•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments and related 

amending Standards

•  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

•  AASB 2016-5 Amendments to Australian 

Accounting Standards – Classification and 
Measurement of Share-based Payment

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

In the current year, the Group has applied an 
amendment to AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
(as amended) and the related consequential 
amendments to other Accounting Standards that 
are effective for an annual period that begins on or 
after 1 July 2018. The transition provisions of AASB 9 
allow an entity not to restate comparatives. 

AASB 9 introduced new requirements for: 

•  The classification and measurement of financial 

assets and financial liabilities (minimal impact on 
the Group);

•  Impairment of financial assets (minimal impact on 

the Group); and

•  General hedge accounting (no impact on the 

Group).

Details of these new requirements as well as 
their impact on the Groups consolidated financial 
statements are described below:

Classification and measurement of financial 
assets and financial liabilities

The Group’s financial assets classified as held to 
maturity and loans and receivables under AASB 139 
that were measured at amortised cost, continue to 
be measured at amortised cost under AASB 9 as 
these are held within a business model to collect 
contractual cash flows and these cash flows consist 
solely of payment of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding.

Impairment of financial assets 

In relation to the impair of financial assets, AASB 9 
requires an expected credit loss model as opposed 
to an incurred credit loss model under AASB 139. 
Th expected credit loss model requires the Group 
to account for expected credit losses and changes 
in those expected credit losses at each reporting 
date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial 
recognition of the financial assets. In other words,

application of the standard for the group will be 1 
July 2019.

Despite the changed recognition criteria, the group 
continues to assess the risk of non-recoverability 
or expected credit loss on its receivables to be very 
low. Trade receivables are typically collected within a 
30-90-day period and despite the occasional debtor 
being slow paying, empirical evidence suggest there 
has been a very low absence of credit losses in 
recent years (losses over the last 4 financial years 
total less than $25k). 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers 

In the current year, the Group has applied AASB15 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as 
amended) which is effective for annual reporting 
periods that begin on or after 1 July 2018.

Following a detailed assessment of the requirements 
of this standard, the Group has determined that the 
five-step approach framework under AASB 15 does 
not impact the two main sources of revenue streams 
earned by the Group, those being revenue from sale 
of goods and upfront and milestone payments. 

Revenue from sale of goods – the key and sole 
performance milestone relates to the delivery of 
the product related to the order with no after sales 
service embedded or attached to the underlying sale. 
Hence the previously adopted revenue recognition 
practices remain unchanged as a result of the 
application of AASB 15.  

Revenue from upfront and milestone payments 
is amortised to the income statement over the 
underlying contract term. As the performance 
obligation continues to be the right of the Groups 
partners to exclusively sell product in a specific 
market for a period of time, the consumption of the 
right and benefit occurs evenly over the contract 
period and the accounting remains unchanged.

As such there are no changes to the historical 
revenue recognition and measurement practices as a 
result of the introduction and application of AASB 15.

Standards not yet adopted

AASB 16 Leases

General impact of application

AASB 16 provides a comprehensive model for the 
identification of lease arrangements and their 
treatment in the financial statements for lessees. 
AASB 16 will supersede the current lease guidance 
included in AASB 117 Leases and the related 
interpretations, effective for accounting periods 
on or after 1 January 2019. The date of initial 

The group has opted for the modified application 
of AASB 16. Consequently, no restatement of 
comparative information will be required.

The Group will apply the definition of a lease and 
related guidance set out in AASB 16. In preparation 
for the first-time application of the new standard, 
the Group has carried out an assessment that has 
determined the new definition in AASB 16 will not 
change significantly the scope of contracts that meet 
the definition of a lease for the Group. 

Accordingly, AASB 16 will change how the Group 
accounts for leases previously classified as 
operating leases under AASB117 which were off 
balance sheet. The main impact being in relation 
to the Group’s key lease in relation to its Scoresby 
based head office and manufacturing facility. On 
initial application of AASB16, for all leases (except as 
noted below), the Group will:

•  Recognised right of use assets and lease liabilities 
in the consolidated statement of financial position, 
initially measure at the present value of the future 
lease payments;

•  Recognise depreciation of right of use assets and 
interest on lease liabilities in the consolidated 
statement of profit and loss; and

•  Separate the total amount of cash paid into 
principal portion (presented with finance 
activities) and interest (presented within operating 
activities) in the consolidated cash flow statement. 

The lease incentive (i.e. rent free period received on 
the Scoresby lease), will be recognised as part of the 
measurement of the right of use assets and leases 
liabilities, whereas under AASB 117 the results 
in the recognition of a lease liability incentive, 
amortised as a reduction of rental expense on a 
straight-line basis.

For short term leases (i.e. those of 12 months or 
less) and leases of low value assets, the Group will 
opt to recognise a lease expense on a straight-line 
basis as permitted by AASB 16.

As at 30 June 2019, the Group has non-cancellable 
operating lease commitments of $2.343m of which 
the Scoresby lease represents $2.183m.

A preliminary assessment indicates that the Group 
will recognise a right of use asset of $3.074m and 
a lease liability of $3.462m. This assumes the 
Group will exercise the first of its 5-year lease 
renewal options. The impact on the profit or loss 
is to decrease occupancy expenses by $0.283m, to 
increase depreciation by $0.271m and to increase 
interest expense by $0.119m. The lease liability

The carrying amount of goodwill at the balance 
sheet date was $9,095,000 (2018: $9,095,000). 
Details of the impairment calculation are provided in 
note 13.

Impairment of intangible 
assets not yet available  
for use
The Group has material capitalised registration costs 
in relation to obtaining registration of Penthrox® in 
a number of jurisdictions (primarily the USA and 
China). Management tests the intangible assets not 
yet available for use using a fair value less costs to 
sell basis each year. 

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.

incentive of $0.388m previously recognised in 
respect of the Scoresby operating lease will be 
derecognised and the amount factored into the 
measurement of the ‘right to use’ asset.

Under AASB117, all lease payments on operating 
leases are presented as part of cash flows from 
operating activities. The impact of the changes under 
AASB 16 would be to increase the cash generated 
from operating activities by $0.283m and to increase 
the net cash used in financing activities. 

Interpretations 22 Foreign Currency 
Transactions and Advance Consideration

Interpretation 22 addresses how to determine the 
date of transaction for the purpose of determining 
the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of an 
assets, expense or income, when consideration for 
that item has been paid or received in advance in 
foreign current which results in the recognition of a 
non-monetary assets or non-monetary liability.

The interpretation specifies that the date of 
transaction is the date on which the entity initially 
recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary 
liability arising from the payment or receipt of 
advance consideration. If there are multiple 
payments or receipts in advance, the interpretation 
requires an entity to determine the date of 
transaction for each payment of receipts of advance 
consideration.

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 

52

Medical Developments International LimitedGoing Concern
The FY19 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 
2019 as the Group is profitable, generates positive 
operating cash flows, has completed a capital raising 
during the year 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, New Zealand, Europe the UK and 
some sales in Canada, the Middle East, Asia and 
South Africa.

•  Medical Devices – the sale of medical devices, 

particularly the Space Chamber and Breath-Alert 
Peak-Flow meters, primarily within Australia, UK/
Europe and North America, with some sales in 
Asia and New Zealand.

•  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.

During the year, the company assessed the 
recoverable amount of goodwill and determined that 
there was no impairment (2018: $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 

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: 
25% based on expansion of existing markets

Medical Devices: 
15% based on expansion of existing markets

Veterinary equipment:   
5% based on expansion of existing markets

59

Annual Financial Report 2019 
 
 
 
A terminal value after 5 years based on a long-term 
growth rate of 2.5%, and a post-tax discount rate of 
10.06% per annum (2018: 11.14% 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. 

14. Other intangible assets

Management believes that any reasonably possible 
change in the key assumptions on which the 
recoverable amount for the Pharmaceutical and 
Vet Equipment CGU’s is based would not cause 
the carrying amounts to exceed their recoverable 
amounts. 

The Medical devices segment is the segment most 
at risk of impairment when a sensitivity analysis is 
applied to the key variables. A moderate increase in 
discount rate or shortfall in budgeted EBITDA will 
result in impairment.

commercial loan agreement to fund the purchase 
of a new bottling station. This was fully repaid 
during the year. 

ii.  On 4 September 2013 the Group entered into a 

Hire Purchase Agreement in relation to plant and 
equipment. The term was 5 years and was fully 
repaid during the current year.

iii. The Bank Bill Facility with a variable interest rate 
and 90-day roll over period was closed during the 
current year after the outstanding balance was

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 2019, 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

MVP has received additional upfront and milestone 
payments during the current year, most notably from 
Daiichi Sankyo for $20.8m in relation to a licensing 
and distribution agreement for Penthrox® in China, 
Thailand and Vietnam. For accounting purposes 
these non-refundable payments are deferred and 
amortised into the income statement over the term 
of the agreement to which the payments relate. As 
at 30 June 2019 $33.281m (2018: $14.785m) remains 
unamortised.

Unearned government grant income represents 
funds received through the Commercial Ready 
Programme from the Federal Government and 
Futures Industries Manufacturing Program of the 
Victorian State Government.

Annual Financial Report 201930. Financial 
Instruments

(a) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it 
will be able to continue as a going concern while 
maximising the return to stakeholders. The Group 
does not enter into or trade financial instruments, 
including derivatives, for speculative purposes.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net 
debt (borrowings as detailed in note 16) and equity 
of the Group (comprising issued capital, reserves, 
retained earnings, and cash and cash equivalents as 
detailed in notes 20, 21, 22, and 29(a), respectively).

The Group’s Audit and Risk Committee reviews 
the capital structure of the Group on a semi-
annual basis. As part of this review, the committee 
considers the cost of capital and the risks associated 
with each class of capital. The gearing ratio at  
30 June 2019 is outlined below: 

Debt (i)

Cash and bank balances

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. Cash has been 
included to the extent it reduced the outstanding 
debt to nil.

(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.

(c) Financial risk management 
objectives
The Group’s finance function provides services 
to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic 
and international financial markets, monitors and 
manages financial risks relating to the operations 
of the Group. These risks include market risk 
(including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk 
and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash 
flow interest rate risk.

(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:

Amounts of exposure are not currently significant 
and as such forward contracts and currency swap 
agreements are not used.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group predominantly trades in Australian 
dollars (AUD), but has 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

GBP Impact

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 2019 and 30 June 2018.

Executive Option Plans
Under the Executive Option plan awards were made 
to executives who have an impact on the Group’s 
performance. Long Term Incentive awards are 
delivered in the form of options over shares which 
vest on the achievement of specific performance 
measures. 

The fair value of share options granted is estimated 
at the date of grant using a Black Scholes option 
pricing model, taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the share options were 
granted including the option price, the life of the 
option, the share price of the underlying shares on 
grant date and the expected share price volatility.  
It also takes into account historical and expected 
dividends. There are no cash settlement alternatives 
for the employees and The Group does not have a 
past practice of cash settlement for these awards.

All outstanding options will be cancelled if the 
employee leaves or is no longer employed by MVP 
for any reason. When the Long-Term Incentive Plan 
“LTIP” has met its vesting criteria and delivers an 
entitlement to an equity interest, the employee 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. In the case of an unconditional takeover, 
the escrow conditions will not apply.

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 carry neither rights to dividends or 
voting rights.

Annual Financial Report 201932.1 Executive share option 
plans
The following share-based payment arrangements 
were in existence during the current reporting 
period:

CEO Option Plan

On 18 July 2018 the company announced it has 
agreed to a LTIP with Mr. John Sharman, the CEO 
of Medical Developments International Limited 
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. 

Senior Management Option Plan

In September 2018 the company announced it has 
agreed to a LTIP with key Senior Management Team 
members.

Under the plan the effected Senior Management 
team members were granted 375,000 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 $350m. 100,000 of 
options within this issue contain a further vesting 
trigger being, the delivery of a new API from the 
CSIRO manufacturing technologies project that 
creates revenue of at least $10m p.a. (or upfront 
payment of greater than $15m).

32.2 Fair value of share options granted during the year

As the options contain non-market performance 
hurdles, they have been valued using a ‘Black-
Scholes’ 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. Expected volatility is based on the 
historical share price volatility over the past 2 years.
