COVID-19 
mixed impact  
on trading

Medical Developments International Limited 
(“MVP”) (ASX: MVP) reported a 63% 
decrease in Net Profit after Tax to $0.379m 
(FY19 $1.037m) for the twelve months ended 
30 June 2020. Revenue increased 11% to a 
record $23.6 million (FY19 $21.4 million) and 
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation 
and Amortisation decreased 22% to $2.695m 
(FY19: $3.440m).

Respiratory sales were an all-time high 
in FY20 growing by 61%. This was partly 
attributed to COVID-19 related purchasing 
but predominately related to new product 
launches and new pharmacy channel success 
in multiple markets. Respiratory sales in 
Australia grew 43% and sales in North 
America grew by 88%. 

Penthrox® revenue declined for the full year 
by 8%, after having increased 6% in the first 
half. With decreased sporting and outdoor 
activity, as well as reduced population 
movements, demand decreased in the 
last quarter within Emergency Services. 
Despite this, domestic sales increased by 
3%, whilst UK in-market sales increased by 
23%. Penthrox® EU sales were the primary 
contributing factor to the overall decline 
even though actual in-market sales grew 
15%. As announced on 19 August 2020, MVP 
is taking back ownership of the Penthrox® 
EU distribution rights and growing this 
important market will be a primary focus in 
FY21 with plans already well advanced. 

Despite the immediate headwinds 
experienced by Penthrox® during the 
COVID-19 pandemic the convenience, utility 
and safety of the product within Emergency 
Services has been recognised whilst 
operating under difficult circumstances and 
we expect to emerge in a stronger position 
within these services. 

The internal and manufacturing operations 
of MVP have not been adversely impacted 
by COVID-19 shutdowns, given the company 
is recognised as an essential business and 
has been able to accommodate ongoing 
production and work from home practices.

FY20 Full 
Year Result

Revenue was a record $23.6 million and 
gross margins decreased slightly reflective of 
a higher weighting of generally lower margin 
medical devices sales in FY20.

Expenses
Operating Expenses increased 15%. This 
increase is due to: 

•  Increased ‘pharmacovigilance’ cost as a 
result of expanding geographic sales for 
Penthrox® and Medical Devices;

•  Marketing expenses as a result of growth 
in Penthrox® and Breath-A-Tech® sales in 
Australia; 

•  ‘Non cash’ depreciation and interest 

expenses (change of accounting standard 
– AASB 16 Leases); and

•  Increased investment in R&D 

Cash flow
At 30 June 2020, the group had $15.5million 
in cash. During the year MVP invested:

•  $5.4 million in clinical trials for Penthrox®;

•  $1.1 million in our manufacturing 

development program with the CSIRO; 
and

•  $1.5 million in various manufacturing 

equipment and leasehold improvements.

Penthrox®

United States of America
MVP is hoping to receive feedback on the 
pre-clinical protocol shortly in order to 
commence this study by Q4 2020.

Whilst awaiting FDA feedback, MVP has 
continued to compile its clinical package 
for the FDA which will be submitted in late 
August 2020 in anticipation of coordinating 
a Type C meeting with the FDA in late 
2020. The completion of the Human Factors 
study which involves subjects trialling and 
administering the Penthrox® device, has been 

Medical Developments International LimitedPenthrox® in the USA

delayed as it requires the direct involvement of 
USA health care professionals and participants 
which is restricted during times of COVID.

MVP expects to be in a position to address in 
full all the clinical hold issues during the third 
quarter of CY21 with a view to filing the IND in 
CY21.

MVP remains confident we will be able to 
supply the FDA with the additional information 
it requires. Our confidence is based on 40+ 
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. The chart above represents the 
envisaged USA regulatory timeline.

Europe
In October 2019, Penthrox® was included and 
recommended as ‘first-line of treatment’ in 
the European Society of Emergency Medicine 
(“EUSEM”) guidelines for the ‘Management 
of acute pain in emergency situations’. In 
addition, the MEDITA clinical study was 
published in Europe demonstrating Penthrox® 
superiority over Standard of Care and IV 
morphine for acute trauma pain treatments 
in patients. These events should prove to be 
pivotal moments for Penthrox® in Europe. 

Europe in-market sales were up 15%, where 
there are 568 customers buying Penthrox® in 
Europe including 386 in France. We believe 
that number will grow strongly under our 

direct control as our focus is on achieving 
reimbursement in key target markets, building 
product awareness and demand within existing 
markets and undertaking aggressive and 
targeted new launches. 

A number of significant markets in Europe 
are yet to launch including Germany, the 
Netherlands and Spain. We believe that 
Penthrox® will become a mainstream analgesic 
in the European market. 

The regulatory reimbursement environment 
for pharmaceuticals in Germany remains 
unpredictable which has delayed the launch of 
Penthrox®. 

National Regulatory Applications are expected 
to be filed with the relevant agencies in Greece, 
Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Liechtenstein, 
Montenegro, Kosovo, San Marino, Vatican City, 
Andorra and Monaco in due course. 

France 
In-market sales grew 15% in FY20 and 
feedback from this market continues to be 
very positive. France now has approval from 
121 hospitals with 386 customers buying and 
using Penthrox®. 

UK and Ireland
In the UK and Ireland, Galen continues to 
make good progress. In-market sales grew 
23% in the current period. 145 hospitals have 
now approved Penthrox® and 670 customers 
are 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 

3

Annual Financial Report 2020in Ireland, the roll out into multiple UK 
ambulance services continues. Evaluations 
and assessments within the UK ambulance 
setting continue and significant penetration 
within the UK ambulance market is expected 
during FY21. We are buoyed by the positive 
in-market feedback that we received from the 
Ambulance Services and Galen, who remain 
confident Penthrox® will be a significant 
success.

Penthrox® has been approved for use by the 
UK Military and given a NATO number which 
allows other NATO military organisations 
access to Penthrox® 

Australia
Australian sales grew 3% in the current period, 
whilst in-market sales to non-ambulance 
channels grew 25%. Growth may have been 
curtailed in the last quarter due to COVID-19 
related restrictions that impacted the 

movements of the wider Australian population, 
including our distribution partner’s General 
Practitioner and Hospital channels. We 
remain confident in our ability to drive future 
sales growth, particularly within the General 
Practitioner and Hospital channels. 

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

Rest of World
Chinese regulatory approval is well underway. 
The IND was approved during the year and 
patient recruitment for the human trials is 
targeted for late 2020. Whilst COVID-19 has 
delayed the recruitment of patients in China 
in recent months, MVP has used this time to 
finalise protocol amendments and continue 
with trial start up activities. The below chart 
outlines the envisaged timeline for approval  
in China: 

Penthrox® in China

Medical Developments International Limited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 and South Korea. 
New launches to occur in H1 FY21 include Thailand and Mexico.

Respiratory

Our respiratory device business achieved sales 
growth of 61%. Sales grew strongly in the 
United States up 98%, Canada up 58% and UK 
& Europe up 128%. Our Australian business 
sales were up 43%, led by our premium brand 
Breath-A-Tech® up 35%.

In the USA market we continue to build on 
our growing reputation and awareness of the 
product in that market via our presence in an 
estimated 20,000 pharmacies. In August 2020, 
Walmart will launch their ‘equate’ branded 
spacer range, manufactured by MVP. This will 
be Walmart’s first private label prescription 
product under the ‘equate’ brand and will 
be available in all Walmart pharmacies (circa 
4,600 stores in the USA). We are targeting 
further pharmacy chains in FY21 and expect to 
deliver significant sales growth in the USA in 
the years ahead. 

Sales growth in the EU can be attributed to 
COVID-19 related buying and also a launch via 
a new EU based distributor PIKDARE into new 
pharmacy channel markets within France and 
Portugal and also a number of smaller Middle 
Eastern countries.

Sales of our premium spacer brand, Breath-
A-Tech, grew 35% in Australia, on the back of 

a spike in demand caused by COVID-19, sales 
related to the launch of our new antistatic 
spacer and growth in sales of our new 
cardboard spacer.

Commercial

Continuous Flow
In October 2019, MVP signed a new 5 year 
‘global exclusive’ agreement with the CSIRO 
to further develop our continuous flow 
manufacturing technologies currently used 
at our Scoresby production site in Victoria. 
This initiative has the potential to deliver large 
commercial benefits over traditional ‘batch’ 
API manufacturing methods and in the process 
revolutionise the way some pharmaceuticals 
are made. This includes reducing the overall 
cost of manufacturing APIs by reducing cost 
of goods, capital expenditure, factory footprint 
and energy consumption while delivering 
significant improvements in process and 
quality.

The program continues to progress well 
with advancements being made in the 
commercialisation of Lidocaine (analgesic) & 
Diclofenac (anti-inflammatory) APIs. Several 

5

Annual Financial Report 2020new targets are under early investigation with 
promising results being seen in translation 
from batch to flow manufacture.

Veterinary

Sales in our Vet business declined 43% in FY20 
to $0.351m.

Outlook

MVP’s ambition is to replicate the domestic 
success in analgesia and respiratory 
internationally, whilst capturing a greater share 
of the full margin on sales. Taking back the EU 
is a big step to achieving that. 

Recent clinical evidence that Penthrox® offers 
superior pain relief to IV morphine and other 
Standard of Care therapies, together with 
Penthrox®’s recommendation as a first line 
therapy in Europe are significant steps forward 
in achieving this ambition.

Our Respiratory Device business is growing 
strongly. 

Over the next 12 months we expect to:

•  complete the handback of the Penthrox® EU 
distribution rights and aggressively pursue 
targeted country reimbursements, launches 
and expansion activity via a direct in-market 
presence in the EU; 

Further Information:

•  complete the roll-out of Penthrox® into 

Mexico, Iraq, Jordan and Thailand;

•  consolidate on our record year for 

respiratory and further grow our device 
sales in Australia, the USA, Europe and 
elsewhere;

•  resubmit our IND for Penthrox® in the USA;

•  conclude additional distribution partnerships 
for Penthrox® and Respiratory Devices for 
new countries;

•  advance our Continuous Flow intellectual 
property and our new manufacturing 
processes; and 

•  continue our clinical program to extend the 
indications 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 are also making good progress with our 
continuous flow technology. This opportunity 
is significant and we are optimistic we will 
commercialise products from the technology.

We continue to innovate our iconic products 
whilst developing new products and 
technologies. Significant progress was made 
this year in licensed areas with increased 
market approvals, new geographic sales 
territories and clinical evidence.

We look forward to reporting our progress and 
successes.

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 in 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 to focus on the 
Australian Ambulance services ensuring that the 
strong positioning of Penthrox® is maintained. 
Moving forward, the strategy is to continue to 
broaden the range of customers (hospitals and 
general practice) domestically via our partnership 
with Mundipharma Australia and globally with our 
other Penthrox® distribution partners. FY21 will see 
Penthrox® launched into multiple new countries.

MVP’s focus in FY21 will be to add to our established 
product range, to build on the solid foundation that

Core to the growth is the development of new and 
improved models of:

•  Asthma/COPD Space Chambers

•  Peak Flow Meters

•  Portable Nebulisers

•  Face Masks

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:

Breath-A-Tech range

•  Growing sales of our range of Asthma products 
through established international partners and 
development of new partnerships. Of note is 
the ongoing growth in respiratory sales in the 
USA with MVP products now in approximately 
20,000 pharmacies across the USA. MVP will be 
manufacturing spacers for Walmart under their 
‘equate’ brand in FY21. 

Product development

To assist in future growth MVP has developed 
new and improved Space Chambers to assist with 
product differentiation to increase domestic and

Review of 
Operations

Penthrox® Developments

United States of America
MVP is hoping to receive feedback on the pre-
clinical protocol shortly in order to commence 
this study by Q4 2020. Whilst awaiting FDA 
feedback, MVP has continued to compile its 
clinical package for the FDA which will be 
submitted in late August 2020 in anticipation 
of coordinating a Type C meeting with the FDA 
in late 2020. The completion of the Human 
Factors study which involves subjects trialling 
and administering the Penthrox® device, 
has been delayed as it requires the direct 
involvement of USA health care professionals 
and participants which is restricted during 
times of COVID.

MVP expects to be in a position to address 
in full, all the clinical hold issues during the 
third quarter of CY21 with a view to filing the 
Investigational New Drug (IND) application in 
CY21.

MVP remains confident we will be able to supply 
the FDA with the additional information it 
requires. Our confidence is based on 40+ 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.

21

Annual Financial Report 2020Europe
In October 2019, Penthrox® was included and 
recommended as ‘first-line of treatment’ in 
the European Society of Emergency Medicine 
(‘EUSEM’) guidelines for the ‘Management 
of acute pain in emergency situations’. In 
addition, the MEDITA clinical study was 
published in Europe demonstrating Penthrox® 
superiority over Standard of Care and IV 
morphine for acute trauma pain treatments 
in patients. These events should prove to be 
pivotal moments for Penthrox® in Europe. 

Europe in-market sales were up 15%, where 
there are 568 customers buying Penthrox® in 
Europe including 386 in France. We believe 
that number will grow strongly under our 
direct control as our focus is on achieving 
reimbursement in key target markets, building 
product awareness and demand within existing 
markets and undertaking aggressive and 
targeted new launches. 

A number of significant markets in Europe 
are yet to launch including Germany, the 
Netherlands and Spain. We believe that 
Penthrox® will become a mainstream analgesic 
in the European market. 

The regulatory reimbursement environment 
for pharmaceuticals in Germany remains 
unpredictable which has delayed the launch of 
Penthrox®. 

National Regulatory Applications are expected 
to be filed with the relevant agencies 
in Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, 
Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Kosovo, San 
Marino, Vatican City, Andorra and Monaco in 
due course. 

France 
In-market sales grew 15% in FY20 and 
feedback from this market continues to be 
very positive. France now has approval from 
121 hospitals with 386 customers buying and 
using Penthrox®. 

UK and Ireland
In the UK and Ireland, Galen continues to 
make good progress. In-market sales grew 
23% in the current period. 145 hospitals 
have now approved Penthrox® and 670 
customers are 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 multiple 
UK ambulance services continues. Evaluations 
and assessments within the UK ambulance 
setting continue and significant penetration 
within the UK ambulance market is expected 
during FY21. We are buoyed by the positive 
in-market feedback that we received from the 
Ambulance Services and Galen, who remain 
confident Penthrox® will be a significant 
success.

Penthrox® has been approved for use by the 
UK Military and given a NATO number which 
allows other NATO military organisations 
access to Penthrox®

Australia
Australian sales grew 3% in the current period, 
whilst in-market sales to non-ambulance 
channels grew 25%. Growth may have been 
curtailed in the last quarter due to COVID-19 
related restrictions that impacted the 
movements of the wider Australian population, 
including our distribution partner’s General 
Practitioner and Hospital channels. We 
remain confident in our ability to drive future 
sales growth, particularly within the General 
Practitioner and Hospital channels. 

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

Penthrox®: Rest of World
The Chinese regulatory approval is well 
underway. The IND was approved during 
the year and patient recruitment for the 
human trials is targeted for late 2020. Whilst 
COVID-19 has delayed the recruitment of 
patients in China in recent months, MVP has 
used this time to finalise protocol amendments 
and continue with trial start up activities.

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 and South Korea. New 
launches to occur in H1 FY21 include Thailand 
and Mexico.

Respiratory 
Our respiratory device business achieved sales 
growth of 61%. Sales grew strongly in the 

22

Medical Developments International LimitedUnited States up 98%, Canada up 58% and UK 
& Europe up 128%. Our Australian business 
sales were up 43%, led by our premium brand 
Breath-A-Tech up 35%.

In the USA market we continue to build on 
our growing reputation and awareness of the 
product in that market via our presence in an 
estimated 20,000 pharmacies. In August 2020, 
Walmart will launch their ‘equate’ branded 
spacer range, manufactured by MVP. This will 
be Walmart’s first private label prescription 
product under the ‘equate’ brand and will 
be available in all Walmart pharmacies (circa 
4,600 stores in the USA). We are targeting 
further pharmacy chains in FY21 and expect to 
deliver significant sales growth in the USA in 
the years ahead. 

Sales growth in the EU can be attributed to 
COVID-19 related buying and also a launch via 
a new EU based distributor PIKDARE into new 
pharmacy channel markets within France and 
Portugal and also a number of smaller Middle 
Eastern countries.

Sales of our premium spacer brand, Breath-
A-Tech, grew 35% in Australia, on the back of 
a spike in demand caused by COVID-19, sales 
related to the launch of our new antistatic 
spacer and growth in sales of our new 
cardboard spacer.

Continuous Flow
In October 2019, MVP signed a new 5 year 
‘global exclusive’ agreement with the CSIRO 
to further develop our continuous flow 
manufacturing technologies currently used 
at our Scoresby production site in Victoria. 
This initiative has the potential to deliver large 
commercial benefits over traditional ‘batch’ 
API manufacturing methods and in the process 
revolutionise the way some pharmaceuticals 
are made. This includes reducing the overall 
cost of manufacturing APIs by reducing cost 
of goods, capital expenditure, factory footprint 
and energy consumption while delivering 
significant improvements in process and 
quality.

The program continues to progress well 
with advancements being made in the 
commercialisation of Lidocaine (analgesic) & 
Diclofenac (anti-inflammatory) APIs. Several 
new targets are under early investigation with 
promising results being seen in translation 
from batch to flow manufacture.

Vet
Our Vet business declined 43% in FY20. 

FY20 Full Year Financial 
Result
Revenue was a record $23.6 million whilst 
gross margin decreased slightly, reflective of 
a higher weighting of revenue to lower margin 
medical devices in FY20.

Operating Expenses increased 15%. This 
increase is due to: 

•  Increased ‘pharmacovigilance’ costs as a 
result of expanding geographic sales for 
Penthrox® and Medical Devices;

•  Marketing expenses as a result of growth 
in Penthrox® and Breath-A-Tech sales in 
Australia; 

•  ‘Non-cash’ depreciation and interest 

expenses (change of accounting standard 
– AASB 16 Leases - refer to note 1(u) for 
further detail); and

•  Increased investment in R&D.

Cash flow
At 30 June 2020, the group had $15.5m in cash 
reserves. During the year MVP invested:

•  $5.4 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. 

COVID-19
The internal and manufacturing operations 
of MVP have not been adversely impacted 
by COVID-19 shutdowns, given the company 
is recognised as an essential business and 
has been able to accommodate ongoing 
production and work from home practices. 
Refer above for impact of COVID-19 on the 
Groups respective segments.

Financial Position
The capital structure of the group remained 
stable during the period and the group has no 
bank debt. 

23

Annual Financial Report 2020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
On 19 August 2020 the company announced 
that it had reached an in-principle agreement 
to take back the distribution rights for 
Penthrox® in Europe from Mundipharma. This 
transition is to take place over a 6-month 
period from 1 September 2020 to 28 February 
2021.

As the Group is a pharmaceutical and medical 
device business, it has been considered an 
essential business in Victoria and has not been 
subject to COVID-19 Stage 4 related business 
shutdown restrictions and has therefore been 
able to continue with critical production and 
selling activities from its Victorian based 
locations.

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
No dividend was declared in relation to the full 
year ended 30 June 2020.

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 auditor.

Annual Financial Report 2020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 Revenue, 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 and individual specific performance 
measures, the achievement of which provides 
the basis for future growth and profitability.

The long-term incentive scheme is centred 
around the achievement of regulatory related 
performance measures for key territories. 

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.

(i)  The value of the options granted to Mr Sharman and Mr Edwards as part of their 

remuneration was calculated at grant date using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. 
Additional details in relation to the valuation are outlined below and also within note 33 of 
the Annual Report. John Sharman (former CEO) resigned on 5 June 2020. There were no 
payouts on termination other than owing salary and leave accruals. As the CEO option plan 
was forfeited, the previously accrued share-based payments recognised in relation to the plan 
were reversed and the options subsequently cancelled. 

27

Annual Financial Report 2020Executive remuneration is principally fixed in nature, with a short-term incentive that is also 
subject to a discretionary overlay to capture and reward individual performance. In FY20, 
Mr Sharman and Mr Edwards remuneration comprised a performance related component of 
$60,000 and $9,132 respectively. Director’s remuneration did not contain a performance related 
component.

of $4,566. 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 regulatory approvals, 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 2020 financial year, 
discretionary bonuses totalling $69,132 (2019: 
$4,566) were determined and approved by the 
Remuneration and Nominations Committee 

28

Medical Developments International Limitedin relation to key management personnel 
in respect of their performance in the 2019 
financial year. 

Long-term incentives

Executive Option Plans
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, being the approval of Penthrox® in 
the USA. 

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 ordinary 
share of Medical Developments Limited on 
exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by 
the recipient on the receipt of the option nor 
are they tradeable at any time. The options 
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. This plan 
was forfeited on 5 June 2020 upon resignation 
of the former CEO and therefore no vesting 
occurred, and the options were subsequently 
cancelled.

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 2020 is

Contracts for services
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 

30

taxation services ($26,300). The directors do 
not believe that the nature of these services 
compromises the general principles relating 
to auditor’s independence, as set out by the 
Chartered Accountants Australia and New 
Zealand.

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
The auditor’s independence declaration is 
included on page 31 of the annual report.

Rounding off of amounts
The Company is a Company of the kind 
referred to in ASIC Corporations (rounding 
in Financial/Director’s Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, and in 
accordance with that Corporations Instrument, 
amounts in the directors’ report and the 
financial statements are rounded off to the 
nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise 
indicated.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the 
directors made pursuant to s.298(2) of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the directors.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Medical 
Developments International Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Medical developments International Limited (the “Company”) 
and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position 
as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, 
the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the 
year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting 
policies including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)  

giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at 30  June 2020  and of  its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and   

(ii)  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor 
independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the 
Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional 
Accountants  (including  Independence  Standards)  (the  Code)  that  are  relevant  to  our  audit  of  the 
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code.  

We  confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has 
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as 
at the time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the financial report for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context 
of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter 

Recoverability of Goodwill 

As at 30 June 2020 the Group’s Goodwill 
balance  totals  $9.095m  as  disclosed  in 
Note 13. 

Significant  judgement  is  required  by 
management to determine assumptions 
and  estimates  involved  in  preparing  a 
discounted  cash  flow  model  (‘value  in 
use’)  for  each  of  the  Group’s  Cash 
Generating Units (‘CGU’s), including: 

• 

• 

Forecast  EBITDA  and  free  cash 
flow for each CGU,  
EBITDA  growth  rates  over  the 
forecast  period  and  terminal 
value of each CGU, and  

•  Discount  rates  appropriate  to 
the risk profile of each CGU. 

Changes  to  these  assumptions  can 
impact the valuation of the recoverable 
amount determined for each CGU. 

How the scope of our audit responded to the Key 
Audit Matter 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 
•  Obtaining an understanding of the process 
undertaken by management to prepare the 
value in use model for each CGU and an 
understanding of key controls supporting this 
process, 
In conjunction with our valuation specialists, 
evaluating and testing the key assumptions used 
in management’s value in use model including: 

• 

-  Assessing the consistency and 

appropriateness of forecast revenue, 
EBITDA and free cash flows with 
reference to expected sales by 
geography and customer, 

-  Assessing the appropriateness of 

EBITDA growth rates applied over the 
forecast period and terminal value with 
reference to management’s current 
business plans, 

-  Assessing the historical accuracy of 

forecasts of the Group’s operating 
results,  

- 

-  Comparing the expected discount rate 
for each CGU to the rate calculated by 
management, 
Performing sensitivity analysis on the 
impairment model by applying varied 
discount rates and growth projections to 
simulate alternative market conditions 
and outcomes. 

Capitalisation of intangible assets 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

We  have  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosures in Note 13 to the financial statements. 

As  at  30  June  2020  the  Group’s 
Intangible  assets  total  $35.820m  as 
disclosed in Note 14.  

Capitalisation of other intangible assets 
requires  management  judgement  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 amortisation of intangible 
assets should commence, with 
reference to when the asset is 
available for use and when 
revenue is generated, and 
The useful lives assigned to 
each individual category are 
appropriate. 

• 

•  Obtaining  an  understanding  of  the  process 
undertaken  by  management 
to  determine 
whether  expenditure  should  be  capitalised  as 
intangible assets and to understand key controls 
supporting the process, 
Assessing the appropriateness of management’s 
accounting policy, 
Assessing all capitalised intangible assets not yet 
available  for  use  and  a  sample  of  capitalised 
intangible assets available for use at balance date 
to determine whether it is probable that expected 
future  economic  benefits  attributable  to  those 
assets will flow to the Group, and 

• 

•  Reviewing  the  listing  of  capitalised  intangible 

assets at balance date to verify that:  
-  Amortisation  has  commenced  on 
assets that are available for use, and 
The useful lives assigned to each intangible asset 
are appropriate. 

intangible 

- 

We  have  also  assessed  the  appropriateness  of  the 
disclosures in Note 14 to the financial statements.

Annual Financial Report 2020 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Other Information  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, 
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due 
to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to 
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 
if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:   

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk 
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
intentional  omissions, 
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
from  error,  as 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

forgery, 

•  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

• 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

•  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are 

34

34 

Medical Developments International Limited 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

• 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that 
we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 25 to 30 of the Directors’ Report for the 
year ended 30 June 2020.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Medical Development International Limited, for the year 
ended 30 June 2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The  directors  of  the  Company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Notes to  
the Financial 
Statements

for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2020

43

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 Group 
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 20 August 2020.

Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared on the basis of historical cost, 
except for certain financial instruments that 
are measured at fair value, 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 

44

that are within the scope of AASB 2, leasing 
transactions that are within the scope of 
AASB 16, and measurements that have some 
similarities to fair value but are not fair value, 
such as net realisable value in AASB 102 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 Corporations (rounding 
in Financial/Director’s Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, and in 
accordance with that Corporations Instrument, 
amounts in the financial statements are 
rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, 
unless otherwise indicated.

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.

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

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

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests 
in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group 
losing control are accounted for as equity 
transactions. The carrying amounts of the 
Group’s interests and the non-controlling 
interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in 
their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any 
difference between the amount by which the 
non-controlling interests are adjusted and the 
fair value of the consideration paid or received 
is recognised directly in equity and attributed 
to owners of the Company.

Significant accounting 
policies
The following significant accounting policies 
have been adopted in the preparation and 
presentation of the financial report:

(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 and long service 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 and annual 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. 

In relation to the impairment of financial 
assets, AASB 9 requires an expected credit 
loss model as opposed to an incurred credit 
loss model under AASB 139. The 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, it is no longer necessary 
for a credit even to have occurred before 
credit losses are recognised.

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 
suggests there has been a very low level of 
credit losses in recent years (losses over the 
last 4 financial years total less than $25k). 
There has been no observed increased credit 
risk to date associated with COVID-19.

45

Annual Financial Report 2020(e) Financial instruments issued by the 
company

Debt and equity instruments
Instruments issued are classified as either debt 
or as equity in accordance with the substance 
of the contractual arrangement.

Transaction costs on the issue of equity 
instruments
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity 
instruments are recognised directly in equity 
as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity 
instruments to which they relate. Transaction 
costs are the costs that are incurred directly 
in connection with the issue of those equity 
instruments and would not have been incurred 
had those instruments not been issued.

Interest and dividends
Interest and dividends are classified as 
expenses or as distributions of profit 
consistent with the balance sheet classification 
of the related debt or equity instruments or 
component parts of compound instruments.

(f) Foreign currency
The individual financial statements of each 
group entity are presented in the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which 
the entity operates (its functional currency). 
For the purpose of the consolidated financial 
statements, the results and financial position of 
each group entity are expressed in Australian 
dollars (‘$’), which is the functional currency 
of the Company and the presentation currency 
for the consolidated financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of 
each individual group entity, transactions in 
currencies other than the entity’s functional 
currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at 
the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of 
the transactions. At the end of each reporting 
period, monetary items denominated in 
foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates 
prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items 
carried at fair value that are denominated 
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the 
rates prevailing at the date when the fair value 
was determined. Non-monetary items that 
are measured in terms of historical cost in a 
foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are 
recognised in profit or loss in the period in 
which they arise, except for:

•  exchange differences on foreign currency 

borrowings relating to assets under 
construction for future productive use, 
which are included in the cost of those 
assets when they are regarded as an 
adjustment to interest costs on those foreign 
currency borrowings; 

•  exchange differences on transactions 
entered into in order to hedge certain 
foreign currency risks below for hedging 
accounting policies; and

•  exchange differences on monetary items 
receivable from or payable to a foreign 
operation for which settlement is neither 
planned nor likely to occur (therefore 
forming part of the net investment in the 
foreign operation), which are recognised 
initially in other comprehensive income and 
reclassified from equity to profit or loss on 
repayment of the monetary items.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated 
financial statements, the assets and 
liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations 
are translated into Australian dollars using 
exchange rates prevailing at the end of the 
reporting period. Income and expense items 
are translated at the average exchange 
rates for the period, unless exchange rates 
fluctuated significantly during that period, 
in which case the exchange rates at the 
dates of the transactions are used. Exchange 
differences arising, if any, are recognised in 
other comprehensive income and accumulated 
in equity (attributed to non-controlling 
interests as appropriate).

(g) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised 
net of the amount of goods and services tax 
(GST), except:

•  where the amount of GST incurred is not 

recoverable from the taxation authority, it is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition 
of an asset or as part of an item of expense; 
or

•  for receivables and payables which are 

recognised inclusive of GST.

46

Medical Developments International Limited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. Wage subsidies such as JobKeeper 
have been recognised as an offset against the 
Employee Benefits expense to which it relates.

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.

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.

47

Annual Financial Report 2020(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 
38.5%), 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 

48

the same taxation authority and the company 
intends to settle its current tax assets and 
liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax is recognised as 
an expense or income in the Consolidated 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income, except when it 
relates to items credited or debited directly 
to equity, in which case the deferred tax is 
also recognised directly in equity, or where it 
arises from the initial accounting for a business 
combination, in which case it is taken into 
account in the determination of goodwill or 
excess.

(l) Intangible assets

Patents, trademarks and licenses
Patents, trademarks and licenses are recorded 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment. Amortisation is charged on a 
straight-line basis over their estimated useful 
lives of 10 years. The estimated useful life and 
amortisation method is reviewed at the end of 
each annual reporting period.

Research and development costs
Expenditure on research activities is 
recognised as an expense in the period in 
which it is incurred. Where no internally-
generated intangible asset can be recognised, 
development expenditure is recognised as an 
expense in the period as incurred.

An intangible asset arising from development 
(or from the development phase of an internal 
project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the 
following are demonstrated:

•  the technical feasibility of completing the 
intangible asset so that it will be available 
for use or sale;

•  the intention to complete the intangible 

asset and use or sell it;

•  the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

•  how the intangible asset will generate 
probable future economic benefits;

•  the availability of adequate technical, 

financial and other resources to complete 
the development and to use or sell the 
intangible asset; and

•  the ability to measure reliably the 

expenditure attributable to the intangible 
asset during its development.

Medical Developments International Limited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
Refer to note 1(u) for the impact of AASB 16 
leases on the current year financial statements 
and the treatment adopted in relation to the 
current year financial statements.

Comparative Year treatment - Leases were 
classified as finance leases whenever the terms 
of the lease transfer substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All 
other leases are classified as operating leases.

Operating lease payments were 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.

Annual Financial Report 2020Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on plant and 
equipment and is calculated on a straight-line 
basis so as to write off the cost of each asset 
over its expected useful life to its estimated 
residual value. Leasehold improvements are 
depreciated over the period of the lease or 
estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, 
using the straight-line method. The estimated 
useful lives, residual values and depreciation 
method are reviewed at the end of each annual 
reporting period.

The following estimated useful lives are used in 
the calculation of depreciation:

Leasehold improvements: 

5 - 10 years

Plant & equipment  
and Right-Of-Use asset: 

4 - 12 years 

after sales service embedded or attached to 
the underlying sale. Settlement and volume 
discounts granted to customers are accounted 
for as offsets against sales. 

Upfront and Milestone income
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 
Group’s 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.

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

(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.

(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 Black 
Scholes 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 
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 Income and other 
Comprehensive Income. 

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. The key and sole 
performance milestone relates to the delivery 
of the product related to the order with no

The adoption of the above Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations may affect 
the accounting for future transactions or 
arrangements.

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

•  AASB 16 Leases (discussed below); 

•  AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian 

Accounts Standards - Annual Improvements 
2015-2017 Cycle (no impact on the financial 
statements); and

•  Interpretation 23 Uncertainty Over Income 

Tax Treatments (no impact).

AASB 16 Leases
In the current year the Group has applied 
AASB 16 Leases which is effective for annual 
periods that begin on or after 1 January 
2019 therefore the date of initial application 
of AASB 16 for the Group was 1 July 2019. 
The Group elected to transition to the new 
standard using the modified retrospective 
approach, whereby the lease liability and right 
of use asset initially recorded on the date 
of transition are matched. Consequently, no 
restatement of comparative information was 
required.

Right-of-use assets
The Group recognised a right-of-use asset and 
a lease liability at the lease commencement 
date. The right-of-use asset is initially 
measured at cost, which comprises the initial 
amount of the lease liability adjusted for 
any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date, plus any initial direct 
costs incurred and an estimate of costs to 
dismantle and remove the underlying asset or 
to restore the underlying asset, less any lease 
incentives received. 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently 
depreciated using the straight-line method 
from the commencement date to the earlier 
of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use 
asset or the end of the lease term. Where an 
extension is available under the lease contract 
to the initial lease term and it is probable the 
Group will exercise that option, that additional 
period is also taken into account. The 
estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets 
are determined on the same basis as those of 
property, plant and equipment. In addition, the 
right-of-use assets are periodically reduced 
by impairment losses in accordance with 
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, if any, and 
adjusted for certain remeasurement of the 
lease liability. The right of use asset is included 
with property, plant and equipment in the 
consolidated statement of financial position.

51

Annual Financial Report 2020The lease liability is presented as a separate 
line in the consolidated statement of financial 
position.

The lease liability is measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method. 

In circumstances where the lease liability is 
remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is 
made to the carrying amount of the right-of-
use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the 
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has 
been reduced to zero. The Group did not make 
any such adjustment during the current period.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value 
assets
The Group has elected not to recognise right-
of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term 
leases of office and IT equipment that have a 
lease term of 12 months or less or for leases 
of low-value assets. The Group recognises the 
lease payments associated with these leases 
as an expense on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term.

Lease liabilities
The lease liability is initially measured at 
present value of the lease payments that 
are not paid at the commencement date, 
discounted using the interest rate implicit 
in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily 
determined, the Group’s incremental 
borrowing rate as the discount rate. The 
weighted average incremental borrowing rate 
used to calculate the lease liabilities as of  
1 July 2019 was 3.55%. 

Lease payments included in the measurement 
of the lease liability comprise the following:

•  Fixed payments, including in substance 
fixed payments less any lease incentives 
receivables;

•  Variable lease payments that depend on an 
index or a rate, initially measured using the 
index or rate as at the commencement rate;

•  Amounts expected to be payable under a 

residual value guarantee;

•  The exercise price under a purchase option 

that the Group is reasonably certain to 
exercise, lease payments in an optional 
renewal period if the Group is reasonably 
certain to exercise an extension option; and

•  Payment of penalties for early termination 
of a lease unless the Group is reasonably 
certain not to terminate early

Annual Financial Report 2020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 (2019: 
$9,095,000). Further details are provided in 
note 13.

Measurement of lease term
The Group has a 5-year extension available 
to it in relation to its right-of-use head office 
site lease asset. It has been deemed that the 
exercising of this first 5-year extension is likely 
and was therefore factored into the first time 
recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease 
liability.  

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 and right of use 
assets
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 FY20 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 2020 as the Group is profitable, 
generates positive operating cash flows, has 
considerable cash reserves 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. Refer 
to note 30 for a summary of the Groups’ cash 
position and available facilities. 

As the Group is a pharmaceutical and medical 
device business, it has been considered an 
essential business in Victoria and has not been 

54

Medical Developments International Limitedsubject to COVID-19 related business lockdown 
restrictions and has therefore been able to 
continue with critical production and selling 
activities from its Victorian based locations.

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.

Annual Financial Report 2020 
The accounting policies of the reportable 
segments are the same as the Group’s 
accounting policies described in Note 1. This 
is the measure reported to the chief operating 
decision maker for the purposes of resource 
allocation and assessment of segment 
performance. 

Geographical information
The Group operates in two principal 
geographical areas: Australia (country of 
domicile); and ‘International’ comprising 
predominately Europe, North America, Middle 
East, Asia and South Africa.

Unallocated assets primarily include cash 
reserves, deferred tax assets and prepayments. 
Liabilities are not disclosed per segment as

MVP has received upfront payments during the current and prior years and for tax purposes 
these are deemed as assessable on a cash received basis or when unconditional entitlement 
arises. This resulted in a significant tax payable in 2019. The group is in a tax loss position 
in 2020 due to the lower profits of the group and the significantly reduced level of upfront

Allocation of goodwill to 
cash-generating units
Goodwill has been allocated for impairment 
testing purposes to three 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:

2020

3,808

4,706

581

3,808

4,706

581

9,095

9,095

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.  

61

Annual Financial Report 2020Recoverable amount testing has been based 
on EBITDA growth rates for years 2-5 of:

economic conditions and expected future 
performance.

Pharmaceuticals: 
20% based on expansion of existing markets 
(2019: 25%)

Medical Devices: 
15% based on expansion of existing markets 
(2019: 15%)

Veterinary Equipment: 
2.5% based on expansion of existing markets 
(2019: 2.5%)

A terminal value after 5 years based on a 
long-term growth rate of 2.5%, and a post-tax 
discount rate of 10.3% per annum (2019: 10.15% 
per annum) have been used to calculate the 
carrying value of the intangible assets.

As the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues 
to progress and evolve, it is extremely 
challenging to predict the full extent and 
duration of its impact on the Group’s 
business activities. The Group believes 
that the assumptions adopted in the value 
in use calculations reflect an appropriate 
balance between the Group’s experience to 
date, the uncertainty associated with the 
COVID-19 pandemic and the long-term growth 
expectations of its respective businesses, as 
discussed in the Directors Report. Accordingly, 
the Group has concluded that no impairment 
is required based on current market and 

•  The recoverable amount for the 

Pharmaceuticals business relies on 
continued growth in the short to medium 
term, particularly in Europe. We believe sales 
will continue to grow strongly as we focus 
on building product awareness and demand 
within existing markets and undertaking 
aggressive and targeted new launches. We 
believe that Penthrox® will continue to grow 
to become a mainstream analgesic in the 
European market. Refer also to Note 29 
Subsequent Events.

•  The recoverable amount for the Medial 
Devices business is expected to be 
supported by growth opportunities, 
particularly in the US market. In August 
2020, Walmart will launch their ‘equate’ 
branded spacer range, manufactured by 
MVP. This will be Walmart’s first private label 
prescription product under the ‘equate’ 
brand and will be available in Walmart 
pharmacies (circa 4,600 stores in the USA). 
We are targeting further pharmacy chains in 
FY21 and expect to deliver significant sales 
growth in the USA in the years ahead. 

•  The recoverable amount of the Vet business 

is reliant upon trading performance 
stabilising at current levels.

The amortisation charge for the year of 
$1,254,000 (2019: $1,263,000) has been included 
in administration expenses. For an explanation of 
amortisation periods refer Note 1(l).

For the purposes of impairment testing, 
intangible assets (except for those related to 
approval of Penthrox® in the US and Chinese 
markets) are allocated to relevant cash 
generating units as discussed in Note 13. The 
recoverable amount for intangibles assets 
related to the approval of Penthrox® in the US 
and Chinese markets has been based on an 
estimate of fair value less costs to sell, which 
uses cash flow projections based on a five-year 
projection period and terminal value.

Key assumptions include:

•  Expected costs to be incurred to achieve 

approval in these markets;

•  Expected sales, gross margin and operating 

costs;

•  Discount rate of 25% (2019: 25%)

•  Long term growth rate of 3% (2019: 3%)

As highlighted in the Directors Report, MVP 
remains confident of achieving approval in 
these markets based on our 40+ years of 
experience, the demonstrated safety profile 
of Penthrox® over that time, our ongoing 
clinical development program and our recent 
achievements in getting Penthrox® approved 
for sale in more than 40 countries around the 
world.

Summary of borrowing 
arrangements
(i)  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 2020, Stage 
1a, 1b and Stage 2 are complete. Should 
MVP default on the loan, CSIRO has the 
option to convert the debt into shares in 
MVP at fair market value. This funding was 
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%. 

(ii) The Group has an overdraft facility of 
$200,000. As at 30 June 2020, this 
remains unused.

Medical Developments International LimitedAs the Group is a pharmaceutical and medical 
device business, it has been considered an 
essential business in Victoria and has not been 
subject to COVID-19 Stage 4 related business 
shutdown restrictions and has therefore been 
able to continue with critical production and 
selling activities from its Victorian based 
locations.

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.

Annual Financial Report 202031. 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 21, 
22, 23, and 30(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 2020 is outlined 
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. 
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.

68

(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 largest customer of the Group 
(refer to Note 3), 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 10% 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 (assets of $4.3m) 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 

Variable interest rate maturity

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 global 
exposure to interest rate risk as at 30 June 
2020 and 30 June 2019.

Information

33. Employee Share 
Option Plans

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. 

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. 

The accounting policies of the parent entity, 
which have been applied in determining the 
financial information shown below, are the 
same as those applied in the consolidated 
financial statements.

Refer to note 1 for a summary of the significant 
accounting policies relating to the Group.

arrangements were in existence during the 
current reporting period:

technologies project that creates revenue of 
at least $1m p.a. 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.

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. This plan was 
forfeited on 5 June 2020 upon resignation of 
the former CEO.

Senior Management Option Plan – 
Tranche 1
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 

Senior Management Option Plan – 
Tranche 2
An additional Senior Management Option Plan 
was granted and announced during the year 
effective from 1 July 2019. 

Under the plan the effected Senior 
Management team member was granted 
75,000 options with a strike price of $0.01. 
The options will vest based upon certain 
milestones as follows:

•  25,000 vest when the FDA approves the 
opening of the USA IND for Penthrox®; 

•  25,000 vest on 2 July 2022; and

•  the balance vest in the event of NDA 

approval in the USA or an unconditional 
takeover offer for greater than $350m.

For tranche 2, where any of the vesting criteria 
have been met and the options exercised, 
the first 50% of the shares will be available 
to sell immediately without restriction. The 
remaining 50% of the shares will be subject to 
an escrow period of 2 years. In the case of an 
unconditional takeover, the escrow conditions 
will not apply.

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.  

Inputs into the option pricing model were as follows:

Grant date share price

Exercise price
