REPORT

For the financial year 
ended 30 June 2021

Overview

Medical Developments International 
Limited (ASX: MVP) announced a Net 
Loss after Tax for the twelve months 
ended 30 June 2021 (FY21) of $12.6m, 
down from the Net Profit after Tax of 
$0.4m recorded for the same period 
in 2020. The FY21 result included the 
non-cash impairments announced to 
the market on 16 July in relation to the 
Medical Devices business and CSIRO 
Technology Project.

Gross Revenue in FY21 was $25.7m, 
growing 9% from the $23.6m achieved 
in the comparable period. As noted 
in our half year results release, the 
reduction in people movements, 
sporting events and ambulance call-
outs reduced the number of trauma 
events and ambulance movements, 
adversely affecting Australian 
Penthrox® sales in the first half. 
Encouragingly, when restrictions 
eased in the second half of FY21, 
the company experienced a strong 
rebound in its local Penthrox® sales 
with similar trends also observed in 
international Penthrox® markets.

Respiratory product sales, whilst 
slightly improved in the second half, 
were depressed in FY21 as a result of 
the milder cold and flu season as well 
as reduced community movement 
and ongoing improved community 
hygiene practices.

Company 
Chair Update

I have been pleased with the rapid progress 
by MVP in response to the twin challenges 
of COVID-19 and retooling the business for 
international growth. Considerable work 
remains, but we are seeing early signs of a 
positive trajectory.

The successful capital raising under David 
Williams’ leadership brought financial stability. 
Following sterling service by Max Johnston 
as interim CEO, Brent MacGregor has taken 
firm command of the business and is doing 
the heavy lifting of a major operational reset, 
while simultaneously maintaining business 
momentum in the midst of the pandemic.

After many years of fine service as a non-
executive Director and chair of our Audit and 
Risk Committee (ARC), Philip Powell will not 
be seeking re-election at the October AGM. I 
was very pleased to welcome Richard Betts 
who is well qualified to succeed Philip onto the 
Board and as ARC chair.

Our Board was also greatly strengthened 
by the appointment of Mary Sontrop, who 
is playing a key role supporting Brent and 
the leadership team with her international 
experience.

CEO Update

Since assuming the CEO seat in November, 
and then arriving in Australia in January, I 
focused on a deep evaluation of all facets of 
the organisation. The return of the Penthrox® 
business from Mundipharma, in Europe and in 
Australia, offered the opportunity for MVP to 
reinvent itself and realise the full potential of 
our lead product.

The Business Transformation project evaluated 
all facets of the organisation to ensure we 
had the capabilities to deliver on our global 
aspirations. Project outcomes included 
replacement of some leadership team members 
and the development of critical new business 
processes to support an international operation.

The Europe Strategy project was a foundation 
piece to ensure we fully understand the 

overall size and structure of our key European 
markets, including critical market access 
steps. It has been very gratifying to see our 
European team putting the plan into action 
and delivering early sales growth. This project 
also re-affirmed our views on the potential for 
Penthrox® in these markets.

Both projects were completed in April in time 
for the development of the FY22 operating 
plan, allowing for budgeting of key actions.

Looking past the important operational details, 
I am as confident as I was in November in the 
potential of MVP. Promising work has continued 
on our next generation product (“Selfie”) and 
we are beginning to think of other innovations 
to support strategic sales growth.

Finally, I acknowledge the resilience and 
commitment of the (now international) MVP 
team who have worked extraordinarily hard in 
a difficult and uncertain time to maintain the 
supply of our important products to patients.

Penthrox®

European transition: 
moving forward
Reclaiming the marketing and distribution 
rights in Europe from Mundipharma was 
completed during the second half of FY21. 
A smooth and successful transition of the 
existing sales activities across Europe left MVP 
poised to execute new launches.

MVP has engaged Medis as our distributor 
in five Central European markets (Czech 
Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria, and 
Croatia). Medis will undertake a complete 
marketing and sales effort in Slovenia and 
Croatia and provide logistics support in the 
other three markets.

In the United Kingdom and the Republic of 
Ireland, MVP’s partner, Galen, continues to 
make good progress. Despite the pandemic, 
in-market sales grew 41% in FY21, with the UK 
being the key driver.

The Birmingham hospital study was published, 
articulating the benefits of Penthrox®. Our 
Galen partners engaged in a roadshow with 
the study investigator to highlight the study 
outcomes. We anticipate further penetration 
within the UK ambulance market to build on 

2

Ambulance Service earlier this year.

local sales – the primary reason for reported 
Penthrox® sales falling behind the prior year.

Further evidence of Galen’s in-market success 
includes recent launch orders from the St. John 
Ambulance service in England and the Scottish 
Ambulance service. MVP and Galen agreed in 
early 2021 to renew the distribution agreement 
in the UK and Ireland for a further 5-years.

MVP’s partnership with Galen was also 
extended into new markets this year with an 
agreement for the Nordic region (Finland, 
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland). Galen 
is well-positioned to leverage key learnings 
and successes in the UK and Ireland to build 
the Penthrox® business across these markets.

We also plan to deploy our own resources 
directly in other key markets, particularly in 
France, Belgium, and the Netherlands with 
Germany, Italy and Spain to follow.

In France, despite a significant reduction 
in emergency room visits, we saw only a 
modest sales decline. Consistent with the 
Europe Strategy, MVP has deployed a key 
account manager and will follow with eight 
more in FY22. In Belgium, as one of the few 
markets with national reimbursement, a similar 
approach has commenced.

Australia: return of the 
rights
MVP also took back the Australian distribution 
rights for Penthrox® from Mundipharma 
Australia in December 2020. In the lead up to 
the transition, Mundipharma sold through its 
existing stock levels which created a gap in 

The transition has ultimately been seamless 
and the focus has been on building on the 
GP and hospital gains made by Mundipharma 
last year whilst continuing to enhance the 
business in the core ambulance setting. A 
number of new Key Account Managers have 
been appointed to drive further growth in 
the Australian market in ambulance, GP and 
hospital settings.

Canada: finding a new 
partner
MVP has also reclaimed the Canadian 
Penthrox® distribution rights from Purdue. 
No fee was paid for the reclamation and a 
strategic review for Penthrox® in Canada is 
underway with the expectation of securing a 
new partnership before the end of 2021.

United States: continuing 
the discussion
MVP held a ‘Type-C’ meeting with the FDA 
in January 2021 where we sought further 
guidance on a pathway to lifting the IND clinical 
hold so that we could move into Phase III.

The guidance was received in early April. 
We convened an advisory group of highly 
qualified pain management experts to help us 
develop a clinical trial protocol based on the 
FDA guidance. We expect to submit a revised 
clinical trial protocol to the FDA in the first half 
of FY22.

3

Annual Financial Report 2021China: in the start blocks
MVP has achieved ethics approval for its 
required Pharmacokinetic study, with the first 
patient to be enrolled in Q4 2021. The two 
required additional studies (in trauma and minor 
surgical procedures) will follow shortly after.

Respiratory

COVID-19 meant that FY21 was difficult for our 
respiratory sales. We expect sales to recover 
but a moderated growth outlook resulted in 
an FY21 impairment charge of $4.706m being 
raised against the Medical Devices segment 
goodwill on the balance sheet.

MVP does anticipate an improvement in our 
respiratory sales in FY22 following the launch 
of our first private label space chamber 
product into Walmart in the US in FY21. MVP is 
also soon to launch its new collapsible spacer 
into the Australian market, under the Breath-A-
Tech brand, which has already been accepted 
by Australia’s largest pharmacy chain, My 
Chemist Warehouse.

CSIRO 
Continuous 
Flow 
Technology 
Project

Research has continued with the CSIRO 
developing alternative manufacturing methods 
for generic APIs utilising the continuous flow 
platform technology. The technology (used 
by MVP for production of Methoxyflurane, 
the active ingredient in Penthrox®) offers 
lower costs and a smaller carbon and 
physical footprint than traditional batch 
processing. Lidocaine stands as the most 
advanced process being developed under flow 
conditions with new targets to follow in the 
coming year.

Through the last year, progress on formally 
validating new molecules at commercial scale 
production levels was slower than anticipated 
and, to-date, no licenses have been achieved, 
making reliable estimation of the technology’s 
value-in-use difficult. As a result, MVP has 
booked a pre-tax impairment provision 
for $4.3m in relation to the capitalised 
development costs on the basis that future 
economic benefit is not assured.

We remain confident in the underlying 
technology and are continuing to pursue the 
development project with CSIRO.

FY21 Full Year 
Financial 
Result

The impact of the impairments noted above  
on the FY21 result are summarised below:

After Tax Impact of FY21 Impairment

Pre-Impairment Loss after Tax

CSIRO Project Impairment

Medical Device Goodwill Impairment

Reported/Statutory Loss After Tax

$m

(4.714)

(3.145)

(4.706)

(12.565)

These impairments arose from a 
comprehensive assessment of the Group’s 
balance sheet assets. Encouragingly, the 
assessment strongly supported the carrying 
value of MVP’s Penthrox® related assets.

Sales
Gross revenue was up 9%, driven by increased 
milestone revenue from the Mundipharma 
hand-back of the Penthrox® Europe distribution 
rights, resulting in accelerated amortisation of 
the previously received monies. Gross Margins 
on product sales remain strong and largely 
consistent with the prior year.

Expenses
Operating expenses for the year (including 
impairment charges) increased 128% over 
the comparable period primarily due to the 
impairment charges booked in FY21

Medical Developments International Limited 
($8.96m) and MVP’s investment in its 
Penthrox® European sales and distribution 
infrastructure. Investment in the European 
business in FY21 totalled approximately 
$9.5m, including approximately $4.8m paid to 
Mundipharma for services associated with the 
transition activities. Impairment and Penthrox® 
Europe related costs aside, expenses increased 
by less than 5% versus the comparative period.

Cash
In December 2020 MVP completed a successful 
$24.9m capital raise via a placement supported 
by new and existing institutional investors in 
Australia and offshore. This was followed by 
successful completion in January 2021 of a 
Share Purchase Plan raising a further $11.8m. 
The combined raisings strengthened MVP’s 
balance sheet. The proceeds are being primarily 
used to accelerate the commercialisation of 
Penthrox® in Europe, to strengthen the depth 
and breadth of the MVP team and to complete 
clinical and other key studies.

Outlook

MVP anticipates strong sales growth in FY22 
driven by rapid development of our European 
commercial footprint and renewed vigour and 
focus locally to build on our strong profile 
in the Australian market. This is despite the 
ongoing challenges of COVID-19 in our key 
markets.

We believe the changes in recent months have 
positioned MVP well for a period of strong 
international growth.

We look forward to reporting further progress 
at our AGM scheduled for late October 2021.

Review of 
Operations

Penthrox® Developments

European transition; moving forward 
Reclaiming the marketing and distribution 
rights in Europe from Mundipharma was 
completed during the second half of FY21. 
A smooth and successful transition of the 
existing sales activities across Europe left MVP 
poised to execute new launches. 

MVP engaged Medis as our distributor in five 
Central European markets (Czech Republic, 
Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia). Medis 
will undertake a complete marketing and sales 
effort in Slovenia and Croatia and provide 
logistics support in the other three markets.

In the United Kingdom and the Republic of 
Ireland, MVP’s partner, Galen, continues to 
make good progress. Despite the pandemic, 
in-market sales grew 41% in FY21, with the UK 
being the key driver. 

The Birmingham hospital study was published, 
articulating the benefits of Penthrox®. Our 
Galen partners engaged in a roadshow with 
the study investigator to highlight the study 
outcomes. We anticipate further penetration 
within the UK ambulance market to build on 
the successful addition of the Northern Ireland 
Ambulance Service earlier this year. 

Further evidence of Galen’s in-market success 
includes recent launch orders from the St. 
John Ambulance service in England and the 
Scottish Ambulance service. MVP and Galen 
agreed in early 2021 to renew the distribution 
agreement in the UK and Ireland for a further 
5 years. 

MVP’s partnership with Galen was also 
extended into new markets this year with an 
agreement for the Nordic region (Finland, 
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland). Galen 
is well-positioned to leverage key learnings 
and successes in the UK and Ireland to build 
the Penthrox® business across these markets.

We also plan to deploy our own resources 
directly in other key markets, particularly in 
France, Belgium, and the Netherlands with 

Medical Developments International LimitedGermany, Italy and Spain to follow.

In France, despite a significant reduction 
in emergency room visits, we saw only a 
modest sales decline. Consistent with the 
Europe Strategy, MVP has deployed a key 
account manager and will follow with eight 
more in FY22. In Belgium, as one of the few 
markets with national reimbursement, a similar 
approach has commenced.

Australia: return of the rights 
MVP also took back the Australian distribution 
rights for Penthrox® from Mundipharma 
Australia in December 2020. In the lead up to 
the transition, Mundipharma sold through its 
existing stock levels which created a gap in 
local sales – the primary reason for reported 
Penthrox® sales falling behind the prior year. 

The transition has ultimately been seamless 
and the focus has been on building on the 
GP and hospital gains made by Mundipharma 
last year whilst continuing to enhance the 
business in the core ambulance setting. A 
number of new Key Account Managers have 
been appointed to drive further growth in 
the Australian market in ambulance, GP and 
hospital settings. 

Canada: finding a new partner
MVP has also reclaimed the Canadian 
Penthrox® distribution rights from Purdue. 
No fee was paid for the reclamation and a 
strategic review for Penthrox® in Canada is 
underway with the expectation of securing a 
new partnership before the end of 2021.

United States: continuing the discussion
MVP held a ‘Type-C’ meeting with the FDA 
in January 2021 where we sought further 
guidance on a pathway to lifting the IND 
clinical hold so that we could move into Phase 
III. The guidance was received in early April. 
We convened an advisory group of highly 
qualified pain management experts to help us 
develop a clinical trial protocol based on the 
FDA guidance. We expect to submit a revised 
clinical trial protocol to the FDA in the first half 
of FY22.

China: in the starting blocks
MVP has achieved ethics approval for its 
required Pharmacokinetic study, with the first 
patient to be enrolled in Q4 2021. The two 
required additional studies (in trauma and 

minor surgical procedures) will follow shortly 
after.

Respiratory Portfolio 
Developments
COVID-19 meant that FY21 was difficult for our 
respiratory sales. We expect sales to recover 
but a moderated growth outlook resulted in an 
FY21 impairment charge of $4.7m being raised 
against the Medical Devices segment goodwill 
on the balance sheet.

MVP does anticipate an improvement in our 
respiratory sales in FY22 following the launch 
of our first private label space chamber 
product into Walmart in the US in FY21. MVP is 
also soon to launch its new collapsible spacer 
into the Australian market, under the Breath-A-
Tech brand, which has already been accepted 
by Australia’s largest pharmacy chain, My 
Chemist Warehouse. 

CSIRO Continuous Flow 
Technology Project
Research has continued with the CSIRO 
developing alternative manufacturing methods 
for generic APIs utilising the continuous flow 
platform technology. The technology (used 
by MVP for production of Methoxyflurane, 
the active ingredient in Penthrox®) offers 
lower costs and a smaller carbon and 
physical footprint than traditional batch 
processing. Lidocaine stands as the most 
advanced process being developed under flow 
conditions with several new targets to follow in 
the coming year. 

Through the last year, progress on formally 
validating new molecules at commercial scale 
production levels was slower than anticipated 
and, to-date, no licenses have been achieved, 
making reliable estimation of the technology’s 
value-in-use difficult. As a result, MVP has 
booked a pre-tax impairment loss of $4.3m in 
relation to the capitalised development costs 
on the basis that future economic benefit is 
not assured. 

We remain confident in the underlying 
technology and are continuing to pursue the 
development project with CSIRO. 

23

Annual Financial Report 2021FY21 Full Year Financial 
Result
Revenue was a record $25.7m, growing by 9% 
as a result of the increase in contract income 
during the current year. This income was 
associated with MVP taking back the EU and 
Canadian Penthrox® distribution rights, which 
accelerated the recognition in the Profit and 
Loss Statement of the previously deferred 
contract income amounts associated with the 
partnerships in those regions. As a result, gross 
margins were also higher. 

Expenses increased significantly during the 
period due to: 

•  $9.5m of cost associated with the Penthrox® 
EU transition, including a once off transition 
services payment to Mundipharma of $4.8m; 
and 

•  $9.0m of impairments recognised during 

the current year related to Medical 
Devices segment goodwill and the CSIRO 
Technology project. 

Cash flow
At 30 June 2021, the group had $36.3m in cash 
reserves. The company completed a capital 
raise during the year as outlined in note 21 
which raised $36.7m. During the year MVP 
invested:

•  $9.5m in taking back the Penthrox® EU 
distribution rights and establishing the 
required operational infrastructure; 

•  $3.7 million in clinical trials and registrations 

for Penthrox®;

•  $1.1 million in our manufacturing 

development program with the CSIRO; and

•  $1.2 million in various manufacturing and 

office equipment. 

MVP will continue to invest in its regulatory 
program, particularly the USA and China 
Penthrox® registrations in FY22 and beyond. 

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 
Group’s respective segments.

Financial position
Other than the capital raising referred to in 
note 21, the capital structure of the group 
remained stable during the period and the 
Group has no bank debt. The FY21 result 
included the impact of the $9.0m of non-cash 
impairments announced to the market on 16 
July in relation to the Medical Devices business 
and CSIRO Technology Project as outlined 
further in notes 13 and 14.

Changes in state of affairs
Other than as discussed in the “Review of 
Operations” section above, there was no 
significant change in the state of affairs of the 
company during the year. 

Subsequent events
There has not been any matter or circumstance 
that has arisen that has significantly affected, 
or may significantly affect the operations of 
the company, the results of those operations, 
or the state of affairs of the company in future 
years.

Dividends
No dividend was declared in relation to the full 
year ended 30 June 2021. An interim dividend 
was declared in the prior year.

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.

Medical Developments International Limited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 Human Resources Committee, was 
reconfigured late in the current financial year 
and now comprises of G. Naylor, M. Johnston 
and L. Hoare. This committee determines 
the salary package of the company CEO 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, Free Cash 
Flow 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.

(i)  The fair value of the options granted to Mr Edwards as part of his remuneration were 

calculated at grant date using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. 

(ii)  The fair value of options granted to Mr MacGregor as part of his remuneration were 

calculated at grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation Model that factors in the vesting 
triggers that include both stock price and other factors (i.e. service tenure).

Additional details in relation to the valuation methodologies applied are outlined below and also 
within note 33 of the Annual Report. 

Elements of remuneration related to 
performance
Fees paid to non-executive directors are not 
directly tied to performance. Salaries paid 
to the key executives (including executive 
directors) 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 2021 financial year, no 
discretionary bonuses were paid or deemed 

29

Annual Financial Report 2021payable based on business performance 
(2020: $69,132 were determined and approved 
by the Human Resources Committee 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, typically including market based 
performance hurdles and non-market based 
performance hurdles, including service period 
targets and also the approval of Penthrox® in 
the USA. 

The fair value of share options granted is 
estimated at the date of grant using either a 
Black Scholes Option Pricing Model or a Monte 
Carlo Simulation, 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 typically have 3 
months to exercise the relevant options, after 
which the relevant options will lapse. 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 option plans
The following share-based payment 
arrangements were in existence during the 
current reporting period:

CEO option plan
MVP’s CEO, Brent MacGregor commenced with 
MVP on 1 November 2020 at which point in time 
it was announced that a long-term incentive 

plan had been agreed to, to encourage his 
long-term commitment to the business. 
1,968,704 options over ordinary shares were 
issued to the CEO under the Company’s 
Employee Share Option Plan. All options have 
a nil exercise price and no entitlement to 
dividends over the vesting period.

The option issue is divided into four equal 
tranches, with the vesting criteria for each 
tranche as follows:

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $8 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 4-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle);

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $9 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 3-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle);

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $10 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 2-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle); and

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $11 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 1-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle).

The options are subject to a share price target 
which commences at the grant date of the 
option and ceases 7 years from grant date. 
Following achievement of the share price 
target, MVP’s CEO must complete a service 
period (as specified above). Each tranche vests 
at the end of the relevant service period. The 
service period condition is waived if the share 
price hurdle is achieved by the 5th anniversary 
of the options grant e.g. if the share price 
hurdle is met 4.5 years after grant, the options 
will vest at the 5th anniversary.

Following vesting and exercise, 50% of the 
shares will be subject to escrow for 24 months. 
If employment ceases for any reason prior to 
vesting, the unvested options are forfeited.

Senior management option plan
In September 2018 the company announced 
it had agreed to a LTIP with key Senior 
Management team members.

Under the plan certain Senior Management 
team members were granted options with 

30

Medical Developments International Limited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.

Fair value of share options granted 
during the year
The only grant of options to Key Management 
Personnel in the current year was the grant 
of options to the incoming CEO as outlined 
above. The fair value of the related options 
was measured at grant date using a Monte 
Carlo Simulation Model that factors in the 
vesting triggers that include both stock price 
and other factors (i.e. service tenure).

The prior year grant of options contained 
non-market performance hurdles. The fair 
value of the related options was measured 
at grant date using a ‘Black-Scholes’ Option 
Pricing Model. Expected volatility was based 
on the historical share price volatility over the 
past 2 years prior to grant date. For valuation 
purposes a probability of 75% has been 
applied to the likelihood of achieving FDA 
approval for Penthrox® in the USA.

Contracts for services
Mr MacGregor is employed under an open-
ended contract with a notice period of 
6 months. The contract provides for a 
termination payment of up to 12 months’ salary 
if termination occurs without proper cause. 

Mr Edwards is employed under an open-ended 
contract with a notice period of four weeks. 

31

Annual Financial Report 2021 
  
The contract does not provide for any termination payments beyond payment for the notice 
period and any accrued employee benefit entitlements.

Non-audit services
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor 
(or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of 
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The non-audit services related 
to the provision of taxation services ($28,000). 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

www.medicaldev.com/investors-media

Auditor’s independence declaration
The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page 33 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.

1. Significant 
accounting policies

Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared 
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
Accounting Standards and other authoritative 
pronouncements issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (AASB), and 
comply with other requirements of the law. 

The financial statements comprise the 
consolidated financial statements of the 
company and the entities it controlled 
for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 
(“Group”). For the purposes of preparing the 
consolidated financial statements, the Group is 
a for-profit entity. 

Compliance with Australian Accounting 
Standards ensures that the financial 
statements and notes of the Group comply 
with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board 
(IASB). Consequently, this financial report 
has been prepared in accordance with and 
complies with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared on the basis of historical 
cost, 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, 

46

except for share-based payment transactions 
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

Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised 
initially at fair value and are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less a loss allowance. 

Impairment of trade and other 
receivables 
The Group assesses the expected credit losses 
associated with its trade and other receivables 
on a forward-looking basis. The Group applies 
the simplified approach to measuring expected 
credit losses, which requires expected lifetime 
losses to be recognised from initial recognition 
of the receivables. To measure the expected 
credit losses, trade and other receivables that 
share similar credit risk characteristics and 
days past due are grouped and then assessed 
for collectability as a whole.

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 previous years. There has been 
no observed increase in credit risk to date 
associated with COVID-19.

(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 

47

Annual Financial Report 2021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.

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

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 
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.

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).

•  where the amount of GST incurred is not 

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

•  for receivables and payables which are 

recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or 
payable to, the taxation authority is included 
as part of receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the Consolidated 
Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The 
GST component of cash flows arising from 
investing and financing activities which is 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority is classified as operating cash flows.

(h) Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of the 
cost of acquisition over the fair value of the 
identifiable net assets acquired, is recognised 
as an asset and not amortised but tested for 
impairment annually and whenever there is an 
indication that the goodwill may be impaired. 
Any impairment is recognised immediately in 
the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income and is not 
subsequently reversed. Refer also to note 1(j).

(i) Government grants
Government grants are assistance by the 
government in the form of transfers of 
resources to the company in return for past 
or future compliance with certain conditions 
relating to the operating activities of the 
company. Government grants include 
government assistance where there are no 
conditions specifically relating to the operating 
activities of the company other than the 
requirement to operate in certain regions or 
industry sectors.

Government grants relating to income are 
recognised as income over the periods 
necessary to match them with the related 
costs. Government grants that are receivable 
as compensation for expenses or losses 
already incurred or for the purpose of giving 
immediate financial support to the company 

48

Medical Developments International Limited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 post-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.

(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 

49

Annual Financial Report 2021consequences that would follow from the 
manner in which the company expects, at 
the reporting date, to recover or settle the 
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset 
when they relate to income taxes levied by 
the same taxation authority and the company 
intends to settle its current tax assets and 
liabilities on a net basis.

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

(l) Intangible assets

Patents, trademarks and licenses
Patents, trademarks and licenses are recorded 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment. Amortisation is charged on a 
straight-line basis over their estimated useful 
lives of 10 years. The estimated useful life and 
amortisation method is reviewed at the end 
of each annual reporting period. The carrying 
value of patents, trademarks and licenses is 
reviewed at each reporting date for indicators 
of impairment. Any impairment loss is 
recognised as an expense in the Consolidated 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income.

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

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

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

•  the intention to complete the intangible 

asset and use or sell it;

•  the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

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

•  the availability of adequate technical, 

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

•  the ability to measure reliably the 

expenditure attributable to the intangible 
asset during its development.

Internally-generated intangible assets in 
respect of development costs are stated 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment and are amortised on a straight-
line basis over their estimated useful life of 
5-10 years commencing from the date that 
revenue results.

The carrying value of internally-generated 
intangible assets is reviewed at each reporting 
date for indicators of impairment. Any 
impairment loss is recognised as an expense in 
the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income.

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 carrying value of registration costs is 
reviewed at each reporting date for indicators 
of impairment. Any impairment loss is 
recognised 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 

50

Medical Developments International Limitedtesting, brandnames are allocated to the 
relevant cash generating unit to which they 
relate. Any impairment loss is recognised as an 
expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit 
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(m) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost 
and net realisable value. Costs, including an 
appropriate portion of fixed and variable 
overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory 
on hand by the method most appropriate 
to each particular class of inventory (all 
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
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and 
corresponding lease liability with respect to 
all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, 
except for short-term leases and leases of low 
value assets. Payments associated with short-
term leases and leases of low-value assets 
are recognised on a straight-line basis as an 
expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are 
leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. 

Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the 
present value of the lease payments that 
are not paid at the commencement date, 
discounted by using the rate implicit in the 
lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, 
the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. 

The Group’s weighted average incremental 
borrowing rate used during the year ended 30 
June 2021 was 3.55% (2020: 3.55%).

Each lease payment is allocated between the 
lease liability and finance costs. The finance 
cost is charged to profit or loss over the period 
of the lease to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the 
liability for each period.

The carrying amount of a lease liability is 
remeasured if there is a modification, a 
change in the lease term, a change in the lease 
payments (e.g. inflation-linked payments or 
market rate rent reviews). A corresponding 
adjustment is made to the right of use asset.

Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost 
comprising the following:

•  the amount of the initial measurement of 

lease liability;

•  any lease payments made at or before 
the commencement date less any lease 
incentives;

•  any initial direct costs; and

•  estimated restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are subsequently 
measured at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses, with 
depreciation recognised on a straight-line 
basis over the shorter of the asset’s useful 
life and the lease term. The Group applies 
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets to determine 
whether a right-of-use asset is impaired. 

(o) Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables 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. 

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 

51

Annual Financial Report 2021Upfront and milestone income
Revenue from upfront and milestone payments 
is recognised as deferred revenue (revenue 
received in advance) and amortised to profit 
or loss over the underlying contract term. As 
the performance obligation represents the 
provision of a time-based right for the Groups’ 
partners to exclusively sell product in a specific 
market, 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.

(s) Share based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments granted 
are measured at fair value at the date of grant. 

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 Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income.

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

(q) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has 
a present obligation, the future sacrifice of 
economic benefits is probable, and the amount 
of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the 
best estimate of the consideration required to 
settle the present obligation at reporting date, 
taking into account the risks and uncertainties 
surrounding the obligation. Where a provision 
is measured using the cashflows estimated 
to settle the present obligation, its carrying 
amount is the present value of those cashflows.

When some or all of the economic benefits 
required to settle a provision are expected to 
be recovered from a third party, the receivable 
is recognised as an asset if it is probable that 
recovery will be received and the amount of 
the receivable can be measured reliably.

Dividends
A liability is recognised for dividends when 
they have been declared, determined or 
publicly recommended by the directors on or 
before the reporting date.

(r) Revenue recognition

Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised 
when the company has transferred control 
of the product to the buyer. The sole 
performance obligation relates to the delivery 
of the product related to the order with no 
after sales service embedded or attached to 
the underlying sale. Settlement and volume 
discounts granted to customers are accounted 
for as offsets against sales. 

52

Medical Developments International Limited(u) Application of new and revised accounting standards

2. Critical accounting 
judgements and key 
sources of estimation 
uncertainty

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 recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating units to which 
goodwill has been allocated. The recoverable 
amount 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 of those cash flows.

The following are the key assumptions 
concerning the future, and other key sources 
of estimation uncertainty at the balance date, 
that could cause a material adjustment to 

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 

53

Annual Financial Report 2021 
the European Union, following the Group’s 
decision to terminate its distribution 
arrangement with Mundipharma in Europe. 

Whilst the Group’s manufacturing operations 
have been largely unaffected by COVID-19 
related lockdown restrictions (as they are 
considered an ‘essential service’), its trading 
performance has been impacted as a result of 
the effect that movement restrictions have had 
on the demand for Penthrox® and the Group’s 
Medical Device products, which ultimately 
contributed to the Group’s decision to impair 
the goodwill related to its Medical Devices 
business. The Group is confident that demand 
for its products, in particular Penthrox®, will 
rebound as movement restrictions are eased 
and market conditions stabilise in the short to 
medium term.

The Group generated net cash inflows for the 
year of $20.747m, comprising:

•  Operating cash outflows of $8.890m 

(principally arising due to the establishment 
of operations within the European Union 
and the effects of COVID-19 restrictions on 
trading performance); 

•  Investing cash outflows of $6.478m 
(principally arising from continued 
investment in registration costs for the 
US, China and other jurisdictions as well 
as continued investment in plant and 
equipment); offset by

•  Financing activities, which generated a net 
cash inflow of $36.115m (principally arising 
from capital raising activities completed in 
December 2020 and January 2021).

The directors are satisfied that the Group’s 
cash position and strong net current asset 
position as at 30 June 2021 will enable the 
Group to pay its debts as and when they fall 
due for a period of no less than 12 months 
from the date these financial statements 
were approved by the directors. This includes 
investment activities forecast to occur during 
the course of the 2022 financial year to fund 
the establishment of the Group’s operations 
within the European Union and continued 
pursuit of regulatory approval in the US and 
China markets for Penthrox®.

business activities. The Group believes that 
the assumptions adopted in the recoverable 
amount calculations reflect an appropriate 
balance between the Group’s experience to 
date, the uncertainty associated with the 
ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the long-
term growth expectations of its respective 
businesses. 

The carrying amount of goodwill at the 
balance sheet date was $4,389,000 (2020: 
$9,095,000). Further details are provided in 
note 13.

Impairment of intangible 
assets not yet available  
for use
The Group has material capitalised registration 
costs in relation to obtaining registration 
of Penthrox® in a number of jurisdictions 
(primarily the USA and China). Management 
tests these costs for impairment annually or 
where an impairment indicator is identified. 
The recoverability of these costs is ultimately 
contingent upon achieving registration in these 
jurisdictions. 

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. Based on the Group’s latest forecasts, 
it expects to generate future taxable income, 
sufficient to recover the carrying value of its 
deferred tax asset.

Going concern
The FY21 Financial statements have been 
prepared on a going concern basis. 

As at 30 June 2021, the Group has significant 
cash holdings of $36.277m and undrawn 
overdraft facilities of $0.2m as set out in note 
30(c). The Group has net current assets of 
$39.849m and net assets of $68.302m.

The Group incurred a loss for the year 
$12.565m, including non-cash impairment 
charges of $8.956m (pre-tax) as set out in 
note 4(b) and $9.495m related to investment 
in the establishment of operations within

Medical Developments International Limited3. Segment 
information

Products and services within 
each business segment
The company is organised into three business 
units – Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices and 
Veterinary products. The operating results for 
these business units are regularly reviewed by 
the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of 
Directors to assess their performance and make 
decisions about the allocation of resources.

assessment of segment performance. 

Unallocated assets primarily include cash 
reserves, deferred tax assets and prepayments. 
Liabilities are not disclosed per segment as it is 
not possible to track these on a segment basis.

During the year, the company assessed 
the recoverable amount of goodwill and 
recognised a $4.706m impairment loss 
associated with the Medical Device business 
(2020: $nil). 

Refer to right for further explanation.

The recoverable amount for the respective 
CGUs was determined as follows:

Pharmaceuticals
The recoverable amount was calculated using a 
‘fair value less costs to dispose’ approach, which 
incorporates cash flow projections over five years 
and a terminal value, discounted to present value 
using a risk-adjusted post-tax discount rate.

61

Annual Financial Report 2021The recoverable amount for Pharmaceuticals 
represents an aggregation of:

1.  an estimate of future cash flows attributable 

to the geographies in which the Group 
currently operates, allowing for further 
growth and expansion, assuming EBITDA 
growth in accordance with the business 
operating plan for years 2-3, an EBITDA 
growth rate of 20% for years 4-5 and a 
long-term growth rate of 2% (2020: 2%). 
The estimate of future cash flows was then 
discounted using a post-tax discount rate of 
10.3% (2020: 10.3%).

2. an estimate of future cash flows expected 
to arise from the Chinese and US markets, 
allowing for expected costs to be incurred 
to achieve market approval, an estimate of 
sales volume, gross margin and operating 
costs and a long-term growth rate of 3% 
(2020: 3%). The estimate of future cash 
flows was then discounted using a post-tax 
discount rate of 20% (2020: 25%).

The cash flows attributable to the 
geographies in which the Group currently 
operates (principally Australia and Europe) 
rely on continued growth in the short to 
medium term. The cash flows in these 
regions were subdued during the period to 
30 June 2021 due to COVID-19 and related 
Government restrictions. The Group expect 
these impacts to lessen, in the short term, 
with demand increasing as vaccination 
programs improve, restrictions are eased 
and activity levels within respective 
geographies continue to increase.

As announced to the ASX on 19 August 
2020, the company has signed an 
agreement to take back the distribution 
rights for Penthrox® in Europe from 
Mundipharma. This transition was completed 
in FY21 and The Group expect these actions 
to assist in realising the Group’s market 
opportunity.

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

Medical devices
The recoverable amount was calculated using 
a ‘value in use’ approach, which incorporates 
cash flow projections over five years and a 
terminal value, discounted to present value 
using a risk-adjusted post-tax discount rate.

The recoverable amount for Medical Devices 
is based on management forecasts for Year 
1, incorporating an allowance for growth and 
expansion in existing markets by assuming an 
EBITDA growth rate in Year 2-5 of 15% (2020: 
15%) per annum and a long-term growth rate 
of 2% (2020: 2%). The estimate of future cash 
flows is then discounted using a post-tax 
discount rate of 10.3% (2020: 10.3%).

The cash flows generated by the Medical 
Devices business were subdued during the 
current year vs. FY21 forecast expectations 
due to COVID-19 and related Government 
restrictions. Whilst the Group saw an elevation 
in sales in Q4 FY20 arising from ‘panic buying’, 
demand for respiratory devices softened 
during FY21 as activity levels fell. 

The Group is cautiously optimistic that 
these impacts will be lessened in FY22, 
with demand increasing as restrictions are 
eased, vaccination rates improve and activity 
levels within respective geographies begin 
to increase. Nevertheless, a moderated 
forecast for FY22 and beyond has resulted 
in an impairment charge of $4.706m being 
recognised against the Medical Devices cash 
generating unit, which resulted in the full 
impairment of goodwill allocated to the CGU. 

Veterinary
The recoverable amount of the Veterinary CGU 
is reliant upon trading performance remaining 
stable at current levels. 

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 recoverable 
amount calculations reflect an appropriate 
balance between the Group’s experience to 
date, the uncertainty associated with the 
ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the long-
term growth expectations of its respective 
businesses.

The amortisation charge for the year of $2,425,000 (2020: $1,254,000) has been included in 
administration expenses. For an explanation of amortisation periods refer Note 1 (l).

Intangible assets are assessed for indicators 
of impairment each balance date, or in the 
case of intangible assets not yet available 
for use, at least annually. When impairment 
testing is performed, management estimate 
the recoverable amount of the intangible 
asset or the cash generating unit to which the 
intangible asset belongs.

The impairment loss recognised in the current 
year relates to the CSIRO Continuous Flow 
Technology Project. The Group is yet to 
formally validate new molecules at commercial 
scale production levels using its flow 

technology. This has delayed the achievement 
of a commercial outcome and given the 
inability to accurately measure the fair value 
of the technology and to reliably estimate 
its value in use, the Group has recognised an 
impairment provision for the full value of these 
capitalised development costs as at 30 June 
2021 on the basis that future economic benefit 
is not probable. The impairment loss has been 
included in administration expenses.

When MVP receives upfront payments 
in relation to licensing and distribution 
agreements for Penthrox®, for accounting 
purposes these non-refundable payments are 
deferred and amortised into the profit or loss 
over the term of the agreement to which the 
payments relate. As at 30 June 2021, $21.245m 
(2020: $31.640m) remains unamortised. 
The significant decrease in the balance of 
unearned income in the current year is a result 
of the Penthrox® distributions rights in both 
the EU and Canada being taken back by MVP, 
resulting in the remaining unearned revenue 
associated with those markets, being released 
to the profit and loss statement as revenue. 

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

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. 

As at 30 June 2021 the Group had no 
borrowings, and was in a net cash position, 
hence it had a nil debt to equity gearing ratio 
(30 June 2020: 0.2%).

(b) Significant accounting 
policies
Details of significant accounting policies and 
methods adopted, including the criteria for 
recognition, the basis of measurement and 
the basis on which revenues and expenses are 
recognised, in respect of each class of financial 
asset, financial liability and equity instrument 
are disclosed in note 1 to the financial 
statements.

These policies were consistent throughout the 
current year and the prior year.

(c) Financial risk 
management objectives
The Group’s finance function provides services 
to the business, co-ordinates access to 
domestic and international financial markets, 
monitors and manages financial risks relating to 
the operations of the Group. These risks include 
market risk (including currency risk), 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 expected credit losses, 
represents the Group’s maximum exposure to 
credit risk without taking account of the value 
of any collateral or other security obtained.

The Group does not have significant credit 
risk exposure to any single counterparty in the 
current year or any group of counterparties 
having similar characteristics. The Group 
defines counterparties as having similar 
characteristics if they are related entities. 

(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:

The Group does not currently consider its 
exposure to foreign currency to be significant 
and as such forward contracts and currency

Annual Financial Report 2021 
 
 
swap agreements are not used. The Group 
expects to become increasingly exposed to 
the Euro as it’s Penthrox® European expansion 
progresses in coming years and will monitor 
the exposure accordingly.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Group predominantly trades in Australian 
dollars (AUD) but has exposure to the US 
dollar (USD), Great Britain Pound (GBP) and 
Euro (EUR) 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, GBP 
and EUR. 10% represents management’s 
assessment of the possible change in foreign 
currency rates. 

The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding 
foreign currency denominated monetary items 
and adjusts their translation at the period end 
for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A 
positive number indicates an increase in profit 
or loss where the Australian Dollar strengthens 
against the respective currency. For a weakening 
of the Australian Dollar against the respective 
currency there would be an equal and opposite 
impact on the profit.

(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.

33. Employee Option 
Plans

Under the Executive Option Plans, awards are 
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 either a 
Black Scholes option pricing model or Monte 
Carlo Simulation 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 the Group 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 ordinary 
share of Medical Developments International 
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 following share-based payment 
arrangements were in existence during the 
current period:

CEO Option Plan
CEO, Brent MacGregor commenced with 
the Group on 1 November 2020 at which 
point in time it was announced that a long-
term incentive plan had been agreed to, to 
encourage his long-term commitment to the 
business. 1,968,704 options over ordinary 
shares were issued to the CEO under the 
Company’s Employee Option Plan. All options 
have a nil exercise price and no entitlement to 
dividends.

The option issue is divided into four tranches, 
with the vesting criteria for each tranche as 
follows:

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $8 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 4-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle);

72

Medical Developments International Limited•  25% vest on the achievement of a $9 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 3-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle);

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $10 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 2-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle); and

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $11 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 1-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle).

The options are subject to a share price target 
which commences at the grant date of the 
option and ceases 7 years from grant date. 
Following achievement of the share price 
target, MVP’s CEO must complete a service 
period (as specified above). Each tranche vests 
at the end of the relevant service period. The 
service period condition is waived if the share 
price hurdle is achieved by the 5th anniversary 
of the options grant e.g. if the share price 
hurdle is met 4.5 years after grant, the options 
will vest at the 5th anniversary.

Following vesting and exercise, 50% of the 
shares will be subject to escrow for 24 months. 
If employment ceases for any reason prior to 
vesting, the unvested options are forfeited.

Senior Management Option 
Plan – Tranche 1
In September 2018 the company announced 
it had agreed to a LTIP with key Senior 
Management team members.

Under the plan certain Senior Management 
team members were granted 325,000 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. For valuation purposes 
a probability of 75% has been applied to 
the likelihood of achieving FDA approval 
for Penthrox® in the USA. 100,000 options 
within this issue contain a further vesting 
trigger being, the delivery of a new Active 
Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) from the 
CSIRO manufacturing 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.

Senior Management Option 
Plan – Tranche 2
An additional Senior Management Option Plan 
was granted effective from 1 July 2019. Under 
the plan a certain 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.

Senior Management Option 
Plan – Tranche 3
An additional Senior Management Option Plan 
was granted effective from 1 November 2020. 

Under the plan certain Senior Management 
team members were granted a total of 
245,000 options with each option having a 
strike price of $0.01 and no entitlement to 
dividends. Similar to the CEO option plan, 
this issue is divided into a further four equal 
tranches, with the vesting criteria for each 
tranche as follows:

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $8 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 4-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle);

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $9 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 3-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle);

73

Annual Financial Report 2021•  25% vest on the achievement of a $10 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 2-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle); and

•  25% vest on the achievement of a $11 daily 
VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days 
(vesting is also subject to the completion 
of a 1-year service period from the date of 
achieving the share price hurdle).

The options are subject to a share price target 
which commences at the grant date of the 
option and ceases 7 years from grant date. 

Following achievement of the share price 
target, MVP’s CEO must complete a service 
period (as specified above). Each tranche vests 
at the end of the relevant service period. The 
service period condition is waived if the share 
price hurdle is achieved by the 5th anniversary 
of the options grant e.g. if the share price 
hurdle is met 4.5 years after grant, the options 
will vest at the 5th anniversary.

Following vesting and exercise, 50% of the 
shares will be subject to escrow for 24 months. 
If employment ceases for any reason prior to 
vesting, the unvested options are forfeited.

Medical Developments International Limited 
Fair value of share options granted during the year
As the options contain non-market performance hurdles, they have been valued using either a 
‘Black-Scholes’ Option Pricing Model or a ‘Monte Carlo’ Simulation 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:
