We also completed the first commercial pilot 
study of our Workplace Stress Test with corporate 
wellness partner Vital Conversations, on behalf 
of an organisation with more than 200,000 
employees worldwide. The pilot successfully 
demonstrated one of the core competencies of 
Medibio’s objective Workplace Stress Test – the 
ability to identify employees at risk of high levels of 
stress, where traditional subjective measures often 
fail due to inaccurate self-reports.

During the second half of CY2016, we expect to 
receive feedback on the clinical trial conducted 
by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. 
This study will support our application for FDA 
approval to market Medibio’s Clinical Test in the 
United States. It will also further validate the ability 
of Medibio’s technology to differentiate between 
depressed and non-depressed individuals.

On behalf of the board and senior management 
team, I would like to take this opportunity to thank 
our shareholders for their ongoing support.

Chairman’s Review

Dear fellow shareholder,

I am pleased to present you 
with Medibio Limited’s Annual 
Report for the financial year 
ended 30 June, 2016.

The landscape of mental 

health is evolving and we are excited to be bringing 
to market what we hope will be a new gold standard 
in mental health diagnosis – the first FDA-approved, 
quantitative method for diagnosing depression and 
other mental health disorders.

Psychiatric assessment of mental health states, 
through interview and observing patient behaviour 
(the ‘DSM5 protocol’), has long been the clinical 
standard for diagnosing and monitoring mental 
illness. For too long, we have been relying on a 
diagnostic process limited by human bias and error 
and associated with high rates of over-diagnosis, 
under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis. It is our hope, 
that in the not too distant future, Medibio will be able 
remove the subjectivity from diagnosis through the 
analysis of circadian heart rate (CHR) patterns to 
differentiate psychological states.  

We are extremely pleased with our Company’s 
progress in this area over the past 12 months. 
In August, we completed a study retrospectively 
analyzing 326 patients from The University of 
Ottawa which achieved accuracy of 83% in 
distinguishing individuals with Major Depressive 
Disorder (MDD) from non-depressed individuals. 
This result was significant for Medibio as it 
exceeded the current clinical standard of  
33-50% accuracy at the primary care level and 
70% concordance in diagnosis achieved by 
experienced psychiatrists.

We believe 

individuals, 

families and 

carers affected 

by mental health 

can live full, 

happy and 

healthy lives.

CEO Report - The Year in Review

The misdiagnosis of 
depression and other mental 
illnesses continues to place 
a significant cost burden 
on our healthcare system, 
sufferers and their families. 
We believe the time is right for 
an objective clinical diagnostic 

for depression and other mental illnesses. 

In fact, the market research we commissioned in the 
US indicated not only the need but a strong desire at 
the primary care level (Australian GP equivalent) for 
an objective tool to aid in diagnosis of mental health 
conditions.

Like Australian GPs, primary care physicians are 
doing the bulk of the heavy lifting in the diagnosis of 
mental health conditions in the US. They are being 
asked to do this not only without the specialist 
training of a clinician but in a 15-minute consult 
compares to the average hour allowed for an initial 
psychiatric consult.

In our pursuit to provide better tools to diagnose, 
monitor and help treat mental health conditions, 
FY16 proved a pivotal year with key milestones 
posted including:  

•	 A	study	with	The	University	of	Ottawa	

which achieved classification accuracy of 
83% in distinguishing individuals with Major 
Depressive Disorder (MDD) from non-
depressed individuals,

•	

The	University	of	Sydney’s	Brain	and	
Mind Centre commenced the Corporate 
Workplace Stress assessment,

•	 Medibio	developed	a	new	sleep	staging	

•	

First	commercial	pilot	study	successfully	
completed as part of our Corporate  
Wellness Program,

•	 Key	patents	acquired	for	the	use	of	 

24-hour heart rate data and circadian heart 
rate technology for diagnosing psychiatric 
conditions,

•	

Leading	US	institutions	provided	Medibio	
more than 10,000 new physiological data 
sets, more than trebling the size of our 
database, and 

•	 Trial	success	with	Apple	Watch®	and	Fitbit®	

for Medibio’s Workplace Stress app.

Underpinning our progress, Medibio also significantly 
built its intangible asset and intellectual property 
base over the last 12 months. We now have the 
world’s largest database of overnight ECG data 
with corresponding mental health assessments 
which will continue to drive new insights and clinical 
indications. More importantly, this database is 
expanding as more research partners approach us 
to collaborate, adding to this valuable resource.

The coming 12 months promises to be just 
as exciting as last with a number of key 
milestones to be met. 

I look forward to keeping shareholders 
informed of our progress.

Yours faithfully,

algorithm using ECG data, able to distinguish 
sleep stages with accuracies of 86-95%,

CEO Report - The Year in Review

Commercialisation – what our potential 
customers have told us

Distilling this, there are two keys to 
commercialisation:

As a listed company our reason for being is to make 
profits and return dividends to our shareholders. To 
do this we need to commercialise our technology. 

What are the keys to commercialise our technology? 
To define this better, we commissioned a Voice 
of Customer survey in the US. The results are 
summarised below. 

•	 Sufficient clinical data (demonstrating 
good reliability, validity) and education. 
This relies primarily on quality research 
done by leading universities and Key 
Opinion Leaders.

•	

Insurance coverage or reimbursement 
after the requisite FDA approval.

Quality Research

As we started to commercialise this new and 
revolutionary technology we took the view the only 
way to achieve our goals was to undertake quality 
research with the world’s foremost institutions and 
universities. 

We are proud of the quality of our research and 
data partners and the work we are conducting 
with them. With the help of its partners, Medibio 
has developed a unique and valuable asset. The 
world’s largest database of overnight ECG data 
with corresponding mental health assessments 
which will continue to drive new insights and clinical 
indications. This database is growing and the next 
12 months should see your company consummate 
collaborations with a number of new research 
partners and data providers.

Use of our device as a diagnostic tool:

1.  The majority (91%) surveyed are likely to 

consider using the device as a supportive 
diagnostic tool.

2.  Primary care physicians and psychiatrists 
were seen as likely first users as they are 
more likely to see patients first before 
referring them to therapists.

3.  Primary care physicians are also seen as 

more likely to be largest users for this device 
as a diagnostic tool followed by psychiatrists.

4.  The majority (82%) of clinicians would use the 
device to monitor effectiveness of therapy.

Factors influencing decision to use device:

1. 

Insurance coverage (reimbursement) was 
the most significant factor influencing the 
decision to use the device.

2.  Ease of use, price and clinical evidence were 

the next most important factors.

3.  Diagnostic accuracy, reliability and validity of 
the device also ranked high in the clinical use 
decision.

Factors highlighted as being important in driving 
broad adoption of this device in the US:

1.  Sufficient clinical data to demonstrate good 

reliability and validity for the device.

2.  Education of providers, payers and patients.

3.  Coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and 

insurance companies.

CEO Report - The Year in Review

Medibio continues 

Our collaborative research and  
development effort

building its broad base of 

collaborators to increase 

its data assets. Combined 

with its advanced machine 

learning analytics cloud 

solution, this will allow the 

Company to extract new 

insights regarding the link 

between mental health 

and circadian heart-rate 

architecture. 

Medibio announced its collaborative research 
and development effort with leading international 
universities in March this year. Under this collaboration, 
Medibio has secured in excess of 120,000 hours 
of overnight physiological (ECG, EEG and other 
biometrics) data files. All physiological data files have 
either corresponding clinical psychiatric diagnoses 
undertaken by the partner universities or self-report 
data covering mental health and/or mental wellbeing.

The Universities which supplied the bulk of the new 
data are Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Emory 
University, Washington University and The Royal’s 
Institute of Mental Health Research which is affiliated 
with the University of Ottawa. The list of collaboration 
and research data partners is growing with a recent 
agreement with Monash University and discussions 
underway with other prominent institutions.

This data set allows Medibio and its research partners 
to generate proxy-clinical trial outcomes and meta-
data analyses from more than 15,000 patients 
retrospectively. The significant increase in the volume 
of available data allowing us to apply more advanced 
machine learning techniques to accelerate the 
optimisation of our suite of algorithms. The ability to 
utilise independently acquired data and corresponding 
clinical psychiatric diagnoses adds significantly more 
weight to the Company’s research findings and 
technology within the medical community.

Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 
headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, is a $7 billion 
integrated global health enterprise and one of the 
leading health care institutions in the United States. 
The Johns Hopkins Hospital, opened in 1889, has 
been ranked number one in the nation by US. News 
& World Report for 22 years of the survey’s 26-year 
history.  

The aim of our study with Johns Hopkins University 
is twofold:

1.  validate our technology to differentiate 

between individuals with clinical depression 
and individuals without clinical depression, 
and

2.  collect the data to support FDA certification 
of our technology for use as an objective 
method to assist clinicians in the diagnosis of 
depression

The study is split into three phases.

1.  A pilot phase involving 20 participants 

designed to test the study workflows and 
protocol.

2.  An exploratory phase (involving 60 

participants, 30 depressed and 30 normal 
controls) designed to validate our technology. 
It’s anticipated to be underway around the 
time you receive this annual report.

3.  This will then roll into a clinical performance 

phase to collect the data required to support 
FDA certification. 

The study is simple and quick. It involves patient 
assessment by two independent clinicians from 
Johns Hopkins University in order to overcome 
the limitation of subjective diagnoses. Research 
has shown only 70% concordance between 
psychiatrists(1).  So only those individuals where 
both clinicians’ assessment agree are included 
in the study. Johns Hopkins University collect 
overnight ECG data which is sent to Medibio on a 
blinded basis. Medibio will generate a diagnosis of 
depressed or non-depressed based on CHR data 
which Johns Hopkins University compares with its 
clinical psychiatric diagnosis.

The co-principal investigators are Dr Naresh Punjabi 
and Dr Francis M Mondimore. Dr Mondimore is 
Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry 
and Behavioural Sciences and Director of the Mood 
Disorders Clinic. He leads a clinical team specializing 
in the care of persons with mood disorders. Dr 
Punjabi is Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology in 
the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine 
Associate Director of Graduate Training Program in 
Clinical Investigation at Johns Hopkins University. 
Dr Punjabi was instrumental in the early studies 
undertaken by ResMed in the US that led to their 
regulatory approvals.

Under the supervision of Dr Punjabi, Diablo 
Research will provide the second and third US 
centres required by the FDA for regulatory approval. 
Diablo Research is a San Francisco based clinical 
research organisation our US team has worked 
with previously. Diablo has an extensive network 
of feeder hospitals and has indicated it can recruit 
approximately 5 depressed and 5 non-depressed 
participants per week. This will facilitate us keeping 
to our previously announced timelines.

CEO Report - The Year in Review

We reported a classification accuracy of 83% for 
distinguishing individuals with Major Depressive 
Disorder (MDD) from non-depressed individuals on 
the smaller subset of data. This study included 326 
patients from The University of Ottawa database with 
the second stage to include a much larger sample.

The results compare favourably with the “clinical 
gold standard” diagnostic accuracy of 33-50% at 
the primary care level (2) and only 70% concordance 
among experienced psychiatrists. This provided 
the first validation of Medibio’s proposition that 
psychiatric conditions differentially affect the 
autonomic system resulting in condition specific 
heart rate morphology and sleep patterns using 
independent clinical data.

In light of these remarkable results, The University of 
Ottawa has provided data for approximately 1300 
patients for further study. This is extremely useful as 
Medibio’s technology exploits advanced machine 
learning techniques, enhancing detection of mental 
health disorders with additional data.

Following this Medibio will expand and validate its 
diagnostic algorithm for depression to identify the 
different grades of depression, increasing the clinical 
utility of its offering. The University of Ottawa will 
provide additional patient data files including anxiety 
disorders and psychosis, allowing the study to be 
expanded to cover other common mental health 
disorders.

Ottawa University and The Royal’s Institute of 
Mental Health Research

Our study with Ottawa University is part of a larger 
program investigating sleep biomarkers of mental 
health disorders across multiple age groups. While 
initially focusing on depression, the study will be 
Medibio’s first to expand beyond depression, 
evaluating subjects with anxiety, bipolar and 
psychotic disorders.

The Royal Institute of Mental Health Research 
(IMHR) is one of Canada’s foremost mental health 
care and academic health science centers. It 
strives continuously to improve mental health 
and well-being through leadership, collaborative 
discoveries and innovation in research, patient 
care and education. The IMHR is affiliated with 
the University of Ottawa. The University of Ottawa 
Department of Psychiatry comprises 231 faculty 
members and has continually shown its commitment 
to the development of improved mental health 
care and mental health research on a national and 
international scale. 

This study contains two stages of investigation. In the 
first stage, Medibio was required to demonstrate the 
performance of its technology on a smaller subset of 
data, prior to the full study involving assessment of all 
the IMHR’s available depressed and non-depressed 
data. The results of which will be published in peer-
reviewed papers.

University of Sydney

Our partnership with The University of Sydney 
Brain and Mind Centre (BMC) involves using one of 
Medibio’s existing commercial trials to undertake  
a ‘Workplace Stress Assessment’ clinical  
research study.

The BMC is a part of The University of Sydney with 
more than 500 academic, clinical and professional 
staff and students. Its mission is to find solutions 
leading to generational change and not only improve 
the lives of people with brain and mind disorders 
but the whole of society through collaborative and 
interdisciplinary enquiry, the sharing of knowledge 
and focused implementation.

This study provides the opportunity to fast track 
independent validation of Medibio’s objective Mental 
Wellness solution. We are experiencing considerable 
success in the workplace wellness market. However, 
results showing successful stress detection in an 
externally run clinical trial will allow us to confidently 
target markets such as the public service, health 
insurance providers, the military, aviation and the 
public health system. We believe independent 
validation is a prerequisite for widespread take-up.

The two phases of this clinical study will both 
incorporate our stress assessment algorithm 
which will categorises 150 employees in a range 
of stress spanning from ‘normal’ to ‘severely 
stressed’. Participant’s mood will be assessed 

through self-report, trained clinician interview and 
through Medibio’s CHR pattern analyses. Data will 
be compared cross-sectionally, and longitudinally, 
as there will be two assessment points providing 
researchers with additional reliability measures. Phase 
2 involves the same mood assessments before and 
after the employee’s use of Medibio’s online stress-
reduction training programme “Unwind”.

The Principal Researcher for the study is Professor 
Nick Glozier, Professor of Psychological Medicine 
and Psychiatry, Central Clinical School and Brain & 
Mind Centre at the University of Sydney. Professor 
Glozier’s research focuses upon common mental 
disorders and multimorbidity, psychosocial and 
work related disability research, stress, stigma and 
discrimination. Professor Glozier currently heads the 
largest workplace stress study ever conducted in 
Australia funded by Beyond Blue. 

In a recent paper, titled “Work and Psychiatric 
Disorder – an evidence based approach”, Professor 
Glozier concluded: “Whilst the use of pen and 
paper / technology based questionnaires is 
commonplace to screen for stress there are 
concerns over their false positive rate and 
predictive ability”(1).

Emory University

Emory University, located in Atlanta, USA, is 
internationally renowned for its focus on medical 
research and teaching, supporting the Southeast’s 
leading health care systems and serving over a 
million people. With more than $572 million in 
research funding in the last fiscal year, Emory 
University is 19th among universities in the world by 
endowment and 21st in US News & World Report’s 
2016 National Universities Rankings.

Medibio has undertaken preparatory work with 
a view to participating in a study to differentiate 
between individuals with and without post-traumatic 
stress disorder (PTSD). Initial work focussed on 
the CHR assessment of a subset of retrospective 
data from a US Department of Veterans Affairs 
sponsored study of 562 twins, one twin with PTSD 
and the other without. The proposed study would 
be an adjunct to an existing Emory University study 
awaiting final approval.

Sleep Staging Algorithm

The sleep staging results were generated and 
validated using data supplied by the US National 
Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored Sleep Heart 
Health Study. Using ECG data only, Medibio 
distinguished sleep stages with accuracies of 86-
95%. The best published historical results have been 
in the range of 70% for all stages of sleep.

Under the project Medibio used advanced machine 
learning techniques on 55,000 hours of overnight 
ECG files (with corresponding sleep staging 
information from The Sleep Heart Health Study) to 
develop an algorithm using ECG data only to place 
the individual into one of the sleep stages. This 
algorithm was validated using an additional 13,000 
hours of randomly selected files. 

The prospect of automatic sleep stage classification 
using ECG data has attracted increasing attention 
in medical research with numerous attempts being 
made to find an accurate method to sleep-score 
using ECG data. In contrast to the traditional manual 
scoring based on polysomnography, ECG data 
can be measured using unobtrusive techniques, 
promising the application for personal and 
continuous home sleep monitoring. 

While not a core focus for Medibio, it opens a 
potential stand-alone commercial opportunity in the 
area of home sleep monitoring. More importantly 
to Medibio, its existing algorithms for mental health 
will be improved by allowing investigation of new 
analytical metrics specific to sleep stages. The study 
also provides a demonstration of the power of our 
advanced machine learning solution when combined 
with our large proprietary database of physiologic 
data. The study will allow us to incorporate more 
detailed analysis of sleep into our corporate stress 
product.

Measures collected include:

The study with UNSW was aimed at identifying a 
CHR biomarker to distinguish between melancholic 
and non-melancholic depression. As melancholic 
depression is not recognised in the DSM (Diagnostic 
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) the 
study has minimal commercial value. As less than 
25% of the planned number of participants have 
completed the study and the commercial upside is 
limited, Medibio does not intend to extend the study 
agreement which expires in October 2016. UNSW 
and Medibio are in the process of finalising an 
arrangement that will see Medibio refunded $60,000 
of unexpended study funds.

Internal Stress Study

In June this year Medibio received Human 
Research Ethics Committees (HREC) approval for 
its internal stress study. The study aims to collect 
a sufficiently large set of overnight heart rate data 
and corresponding traditional stress assessments to 
allowing Medibio to calibrate and validate its stress 
algorithm. 

The approval was for the collection of overnight 
heart rate data, clinician administered mental 
health assessments and various self-reports from 
300 participants twice over a 3-week period. The 
mental health and general health assessments 
are designed to evaluate the participant’s current 
physical and emotional state and measure crucial 
factors such as emotional resilience, physical activity 
and sleeping patterns. All of which are known to be 
related to an individual’s coping and perception of 
stress in their lives.

•	 Wellbeing	-	Warwick-Edinburgh	Mental	Well-

•	 General	demographic	questions,

•	 Physical	activity	-	Brief	Physical	activity	
assessment scale (Marshall et al., 2005)

Medibio commenced processing participants in 
early July and data collation is approximately 50% 
complete. Interpretation of this available data 
indicates results consistent with the first stress pilot 
where there was good agreement between CHR 
and traditional stress measures at the lower risk 
end of the spectrum, comprises the majority of the 
population.

The study data also highlights the inherent problem 
with the traditional self-report methods of stress 
assessment - the lack of a consistent gold standard. 
The two most widely accepted stress self-report 
measures (the DASS and Perceived Stress Scale) 
showed only a 55% concordance and a Kappa of 
0.26. The concordance of these self-reports with the 
clinical interview is also in the 50-70% range. 

Given the concordance amongst these traditional 
self-report measures and clinical interviews to 
achieve our aim of using the data to calibrate a 
statistically defensible six category stress algorithm, 
a larger data set will be required. Medibio has 
received approval to double the size of the study to 
600 participants.

CEO Report - The Year in Review

The FDA Process for a medical device

Pre—submission Requirements; Purpose

In order to market our depression test to the medical 
market in the US we need to gain approval from the 
United States Food and Drug Administration or FDA. 
We are consistently questioned by shareholders 
along the lines of:

“Where we are with trials?  Are we at Phase 1, 
or hopefully Phase 3?  How much longer will the 
process take given we have seen other drugs 
take 5 years or longer?” 

The short answer is that Phase 1, 2, and 3 relate to 
drugs and our technology is classified as a device 
rather than a drug. As a device there is a clearly 
defined and far quicker route to FDA approval.

At the moment the average timeframe 
for the approval of a 510(k) submission is 
approximately 110 days.

Regulatory Strategy Overview 

The regulatory strategy for MediBio is to obtain 
market clearance by submitting a 510(k) Premarket 
Notification Application (PMA) to the FDA for our 
Depression Diagnosis algorithm. For a novel product

Prior to the pre-submission meeting, a packet of 
materials needs to be assembled, typically including: 

a.  Background and design history,

b. 

Indications for use,

c.  Target population,

d.  A summary of the work completed to date 
to establish the “proof of concept” that the 
algorithm performs as intended and therefore 
constitutes a viable product to bring to 
market, and

e.  Testing & Validation Strategy

i. 
Internal validations,
ii.  External validations,
iii.  Clinical Trial proposed.

At a pre-submission meeting, it is not essential all 
of the above are completed and in their final form 
(unlike the actual submission). Although the more 
robust and finalized the materials are, the more value 
will be derived from the FDA meeting and feedback. 
Certain elements, such as the type of algorithm and 
its performance in development to date, clinical 
background of how and why it was developed, 
internal/external validations should be as robust as 
possible; whereas the target population, proposed 
indication, clinical evaluations can be less so and, 
indeed, may change after FDA feedback.

Review of Operations

The year was a watershed for the company. It 
started with the development of our Corporate 
Stress Product and was followed with the execution 
of first commercial agreements and the receipt of 
revenue from this product. The year culminated 
with the first validation of Medibio’s proposition 
that psychiatric conditions differentially affect the 
autonomic system resulting in condition specific 
heart rate morphology and sleep patterns using 
independent clinical data.

Key operational milestones achieved over the past 
12 months include:

•	 Completed	 the	 development	 and	 testing	 of	
its Corporate Stress Product -  a  world first, 
cloud- based  scalable  product including 
real-time ECG Data Streaming and Algorithm 
Processing with results back to the Medibio 
App in real time

•	

•	

First	agreement	for	this	Corporate	Stress	
Product executed with an Australian 
foundation customer (10,000+ employees– 
with potential to roll out across entire 
workforce) and first revenue achieved.

Launched	Corporate	Wellness	Partner	
Program with agreements signed with 
two partners, Vital Conversations and 
WellNovation, and discussions progressing 
well with a number of other potential 
partners.

•	 Successful	completion	of	commercial	pilot	
with Vital Conversations and internal Pilot

CORPORATE STRESS 

Successful pre-submission meeting  
with the US FDA

The Company had a positive pre-submission 
meeting on its proposed diagnostic for depression in 
March this year. It confirmed the proposed regulatory 
pathway of Medibio’s depression test. Additionally, 
the FDA confirmed the Company’s proposed 
indications for use, clinical study protocols and data 
requirements. 

At the meeting, the FDA confirmed (based on the 
information provided in Medibio’s pre-submission 
dossier):

•	

•	

The	Medibio	Depression	Algorithm	is	eligible	
for the de novo (1) regulatory pathway

The	FDA	expressed	no	significant	concerns	
with the proposed indications for use

•	 Medibio’s	proposed	Level	of	Concern	(2)	for	
its Depression Algorithm is acceptable to the 
FDA.

Medibio was pleased with the high level of 
engagement from the FDA and the collaborative nature 
of the meeting. The confirmation of the regulatory 
pathway is an important milestone for the Company.

(1)  de novo Pathway - The de novo pathway 

was designed for innovative medical devices 
(ie, those without predicate devices) where 
controls provide a reasonable assurance 
of safety and effectiveness. The de novo 
process leads to a Class I, or in Medibio’s 
case, a Class II classification. It has a 120-
day review cycle compared with a 90-day 
review period for a 510(k).

(2)  Level of Concern - the FDA guidelines 

recommend submissions state the Level of 
Concern determined for a Software Device. 
The Level of Concern is based on how 
the operation of the software associated 
with device function affects the patient or 
operator. The extent of the documentation 
required in an FDA pre-market submission 
depends on the device’s Level of Concern.

During the year the Company  completed  the 
development  and  testing  of  its  world  first,  cloud-
based  scalable Digital Mental Health Platform.   
The platform includes real-time ECG Data 
Streaming, Algorithm Processing and Data Analytics. 
The Company successfully tested end-to-end 
automation including streaming of live data from 
a range of ECG monitors via the front end App 
on a range of smart phones, to its cloud-based 
proprietary Algorithms and Data Analytics solution 
and near real-time results back to the front-end App.

Medibio’s corporate stress product is the first 
objective test to measure the level of stress and its 
impact on health  and wellbeing. During the year 
Medibio expanded the original 3 stress category 
rating system to 6 categories. The expansion to 6 
categories was done in conjunction with Medibio’s 
wellness channel partners as it allows them to better 
target interventions and provides a finer grained tool 
to objectively measure change in stress over time. 

Normal 

–   No indication of stress

Slight 

Mild 

–   Minor markers of stress, ongoing monitoring

–   Specific indications, action to prevent escalation

Moderate 

–   Multiple signs of stress, action recommended 

Severe 

–   Signs of significant stress, action required

Very Severe  –   Signs of extreme stress, immediate action required

First Commercial Agreement Signed with major 
Australian Corporation 

Following completion of development of its 
corporate stress evaluation product,   the Company 
signed its  first commercial service  agreement with 
a major Australian corporation with in excess of 
10,000 employees. The service agreement covers 
the application of two Phases within the overall 
stress evaluation and intervention program and 
will initially be conducted on a pilot population 
of employees. Phase 1 will involve an objective 
measurement of employee stress symptoms through 
the use of Medibio’s Circadian Heart Rate (CHR) 
patented technology.

Mild 

–   Minor markers of stress, ongoing monitoring

–   Specific indications, action to prevent escalation

Moderate 

–   Multiple signs of stress, action recommended 

Severe 

–   Signs of significant stress, action required

Very Severe  –   Signs of extreme stress, immediate action required

Phase 2 will involve the development of an online 
mental health training program/app. This intervention 
will be specifically designed for the corporation’s 
workforce, and aimed to reduce stress and improve 
coping skills based upon workplace data and 
information provided by employees. Stress levels 
will be assessed twice in Phase 2, at baseline and 
following the completion of the intervention. Phase 2 
will thus provide an objective assessment of changes 
to stress levels following this purpose-built intervention.

Medibio  will  generate  revenue  of  $100  per 
participant  from  each  Phase  of  the  program. 
Following completion of Phase 2 of the Commercial 
Pilot, contingent on Pilot results, it is anticipated that 
Medibio’s Corporate Stress product will be rolled out 
across the organisation’s entire staff base.

Launch of Corporate Wellness Partner Program 

The Company launched its Corporate Wellness Partner 
Program with the execution of a Commercial Service 
Agreement to provide its Corporate Stress Product 
to mental wellness provider Vital Conversations. As 
part of this Corporate Wellness Partner program 
the company also entered into an agreement with 
WellNovation Ltd.

Vital Conversations provides proactive psychological 
health services to some of the largest corporates in 
Western Australia as well as the public and not for 
profit sectors. It will offer Medibio’s Corporate Stress 
product to its existing executive and private customers 
and will also seek to roll out the Company’s Corporate 
Stress product to Corporate and Public sector clients 
on a  pilot basis. 

Under the service agreement, Vital Conversations will 
be responsible for the acquisition of the ECG monitors, 
any other hardware and the implementation of the 
test to its client base, while Medibio will provide data 
analytics and reporting  and will be  paid on  a 
per- test basis. 

WellNovation is a healthcare development company 
focused on bringing innovative healthcare technologies 
to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council 
(GCC). Under the MOU, Medibio and WellNovation will 
collaborate to introduce Medibio’s innovative mental 
health diagnostics to WellNovation’s existing network 
in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. The initial focus 
will be on the introduction of Medibio’s Corporate 
Stress product to the state-owned enterprise and 
military clients of WellNovation.

Swinburne Software Labs partnership - trial 
success with Apple Watch® and FITBIT® for 
Medibio’s Stress app

Medibio partnered with Swinburne Software 
Innovation Lab (SSIL) to evaluate the market-leading 
wrist-based wearable devices as an alternative to ECG 
monitors in Medibio’s Corporate Stress Product.  SSIL 
confirmed the Apple Watch and Fitbit Surge met 
all performance requirements, with both devices’ 
heart rate data providing a high level of accuracy for 
Medibio’s stress diagnostics and analytics. 

In addition to validating the quality of data generated 
by the Apple Watch and Fitbit Surge, SSIL 
successfully:

•	 Completed	the	work	required	to	collect	the	
data seamlessly from the Apple Watch and 
Fitbit Surge in Medibio’s cloud-based Digital 
Mental Health Platform (DMHP);

•	 Assisted	in	the	calibration	of	Medibio’s	stress	
algorithm to utilise optical pulse rate data, 
from wearables in addition to ECG data, for 
stress analysis; and

•	 Benchmarked	the	heart-rate	data	quality	of	
the Apple Watch and Fitbit Surge against a 
leading medical-grade ECG monitor.

The trial’s success with SSIL paves the way for 
Medibio to integrate these wearables into its 
Corporate Stress offering and significantly expands 
the market opportunity for Medibio’s stress analytics 
in the corporate and consumer space. This will 
capitalize on the growing trend of wearables being 
offered to employees as part of the Corporate 
Wellness package. It also opens the way for the 
release of a Consumer Stress App.

Review of Operations

Successful commercial pilot studies

Medibio’s first commercial pilot study commenced 
with corporate wellness partner, Vital Conversations. 
During the quarter, 66 employees of one of Vital 
Conversations clients have undertaken a stress 
assessment with Medibio’s Corporate Stress 
Product. Vitals’ client for the commercial pilot is a 
leading international professional services company 
with more than 5,000 employees in Australia. As 
well as objectively measuring the impact of stress on 
the participants, the pilot study aimed to measure: 
usability; employee acceptance and satisfaction; 
the delivery of Medibio’s corporate stress product in 
a workplace setting; and ability to scale. The study 
allowed the product to be fine-tuned for commercial 
launch. 

The results were extremely encouraging, validating 
Medibio’s Corporate Stress product. The ‘normal’ 
to ‘mild’ scan results comprised approximately 
63% of the pilot population. These results 
demonstrated an 86% agreement with traditional 
self-report stress measures at this low risk end of 
the wellness continuum, where self-report bias is 
not generally an issue. At the high-risk end, this 
pilot successfully demonstrated one of the core 
competencies of Medibio’s objective Workplace 
Stress Test. That is, the ability to identify “at-risk” 
employees where the traditional subjective measures 
often fail due to misleading self-reports. Feedback 
from the participants in the pilot study and Vital 
Conversations was positive. Vital Conversations 
reported that, 2 participants who returned ‘severe’ 
stress results regarded their participation in the pilot 
as “life changing” and “a wake-up call”.

The company has also undertaken a successful 
internal pilot with a second potential wellness 
partner. This potential partner has in excess of 
15,000 staff in Australia and is one of the leading 
Corporate Wellness providers in Australia. The pilot 
involved 30 key staff from the potential partner and 
was conducted over a period of 3 weeks with one 
scan undertaken weekly. The aim of the trial was to 
provide feedback on any changes recommended 
prior to a commercial rollout of the product. These 
recommendations are currently being incorporated 
with the next steps a commercial pilot involving one 
of this potential partner’s external clients prior to a 
decision on a larger scale rollout. 

Medibio is in active dialogue with a number of 
potential wellness partners and customers both in 
Australia and internationally.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

During the year Medibio acquired (from Heartlink Limited) the Australian, New Zealand and Israeli patents it 
held under exclusive license on the ‘method for diagnosing psychiatric disorders’. The method covers the 
use of 24-hour heart rate data and circadian heart rate (CHR) technology for the diagnosis of psychiatric 
conditions and the determination of the effectiveness of treatment.

The acquisition is in line with Medibio’s intellectual property (IP) strategy of creating and protecting a dominant, 
defensible position in the use of CHR technology in the areas of stress and mental health. 

The table below summarises Medibio’s current patent coverage.

During the financial year, Medibio Limited paid a premium to insure the directors and secretaries of the Group 
and its Australian entities.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be 
brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the Group, and any other payments arising 
from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings.  This does not include such liabilities 
that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their 
position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the Group. 
It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and 
those relating to other liabilities.

The Group has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, 
indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Group or of any related body corporate against a 
liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.

Details of the premium paid in respect of insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited 
under terms of the contract. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Company

No  person  has  applied  to  the  Court  under  section  237  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  leave  to  bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Group is a party, for the 
purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part of those proceedings.

Remuneration Philosophy

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To perform to satisfactory 
levels, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.

The  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  compensation  arrangements  for  the 
directors,  and  the  executive  team.  The  Board  assesses  the  appropriateness  of  the  nature  and  amount  of 
emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with 
the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and 
executive team. 

To assist in achieving the objectives, the Board considers the nature and amount of executive directors’ and 
officers’ emoluments in the context of the Group’s financial and operational performance.

Remuneration structure

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  senior 
manager remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain 
directors of the appropriate calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders given the size 
and financial standing of the Company.

26

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)

Structure

The constitution of the Company specifies that non-executive directors are entitled to be paid, out of the funds 
of the Company, an amount of remuneration which:

a.  does not:

i. 

in any year exceed in aggregate the amount last fixed by ordinary resolution; or

ii. 

consist of a commission on or percentage of profits or operating revenue; and

b. 

is allocated among them:

i. 

on an equal basis having regard to the proportion of the relevant year for which each director 
held office; or

ii. 

as otherwise decided by the Board.

Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. According to the constitution of the Company, 
if a director, at the request of the Board performs extra services or makes special exertions (including going or 
living away from the director’s usual residential address), the Company may pay that director a fixed sum set 
by the Board for doing so. Remuneration under this rule may be either in addition to or in substitution for any 
remuneration to which that director is entitled. 

The  remuneration  of  non-executive  directors  for  the  period  ended  30  June  2016  are  detailed  in  Table  1  on  
page 28 of this report.

Senior manager and executive director remuneration (executives)

Objective

The Company aims to reward executives with a level of remuneration commensurate with their position and 
responsibilities within the Company and taking into account the size and financial standing of the Company and 
so as to ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In  determining  the  level  and  make–up  of  executive  remuneration,  the  Board  considers  market  levels  of 
remuneration for comparable executive’s roles for similar sized organisations, and preferably within the biotech 
industry.

Remuneration consists of fixed remuneration for all executives with a variable element for the achievement of 
both short term and long term objectives. 

Fixed and variable Remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration, which is both appropriate to 
the position and is competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board and the process consists of a review of companywide 
performance  and  individual  performance,  relevant  comparative  remuneration  in  the  market  and,  where 
appropriate, external advice on policies and practices.

Structure

Executives are paid a fixed cash component consisting of an annual salary plus the statutory superannuation 
and annual leave and long service leave obligations.

The fixed remuneration component of senior management in the Group is detailed in Table 1 below. No variable 
remuneration is currently payable to Directors or management.

Directors’ Report

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (continued)

Consequence of company’s performance on shareholders’ wealth

The  Company  is  committed  to  maximising  the  value  of  its  biotech  and  other  assets  through  a  portfolio  of 
investments and projects.  This currently comprises of:

•	

•	

a	 diagnostic	 technology	 for	 mental	 health	 which	 is	 based	 on	 circadian	 heart	 rate	 data	 generally	
known as heart rate monitor Heart Rate Variability technology; and

products	associated	with	animal	health,	skincare	and	agriculture	–	AGRIPRO®,	REGEN®,	QCIDE®	
and	TERMILONE®.	The	IP	is	being	maintained	while	we	look	for	purchasers.

As critical stages of projects and investments are reached and produce positive results, significant value should 
be  generated  to  shareholders  through  an  increase  in  the  share  price.    As  the  Company  is  at  least  several 
years away from generating taxable profits, growth of shareholder wealth will not come through the payment 
of  dividends  but  by  an  expected  increase  in  the  average  share  price.    Accordingly  the  relationship  between 
remuneration policy and company performance has not yet been established.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2016

1. 

CORPORATE INFORMATION 

Medibio Limited (the parent) (‘Medibio’) is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose 
shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.  The nature of the operations and principal 
activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.

2. 

a. 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These financial statements are general-purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative 
pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board.  The  financial  statements  have  also  been 
prepared  on  a  historical  cost  basis,  except  for  available-for-sale  investments,  which  have  been  measured  
at fair value.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as set out in note 15(c). Medibio and 
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash from 
future operations and to raise additional capital.

Australian  Accounting  Standards  set  out  accounting  policies  that  the  AASB  has  concluded  would  result  in 
financial  statements  containing  relevant  and  reliable  information  about  transactions,  events  and  conditions.  
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards.  The following is a summary of the material accounting policies 
adopted  by  the  Group  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements.    The  accounting  policies  have  been 
consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars  and  all  values  are  rounded  to  the  nearest  dollar 
unless otherwise stated.  

b. 

New and revised accounting standards for Application in Future Periods 

The  AASB  has  issued  new  and  amended  accounting  standards  and  interpretations  that  have  mandatory 
application dates for future reporting periods and which the Group has decided not to early adopt.  A discussion 
of those future requirements and their impact on the Group is as follows:

•	

AASB	9	Financial	Instruments	(December	2014)	and	AASB	2014-7	Amendments	to	Australian	
Accounting	Standards	arising	from	AASB	9	(December	2014)	(applicable	for	annual	reporting	
periods	commencing	on	or	after	1	January	2018)

AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, the accounting 
requirements for financial liabilities, impairment testing requirements and hedge accounting requirements.

The changes made to accounting requirements by these standards include:

•	

•	

•	

•	

simplifying	 the	 classifications	 of	 financial	 assets	 into	 those	 carried	 at	 amortised	 cost	 and	 those	
carried at fair value and an allowance for debt instruments to be carried at fair value through other 
comprehensive income in certain circumstances

simplifying	the	requirements	for	embedded	derivatives

allowing	an	irrevocable	election	on	initial	recognition	to	present	gains	and	losses	on	investments	
in  equity  instruments  that  are  not  held  for  trading  in  other  comprehensive  income.    Dividends  in 
respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and 
there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument

financial	assets	will	need	to	be	reclassified	where	there	is	a	change	in	an	entity’s	business	model	as	
they are initially classified based on (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the 
financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows

40

 
 
•	

•	

amending	 the	 rules	 for	 financial	 liabilities	 that	 the	 entity	 elects	 to	 measure	 at	 fair	 value,	 requiring	
changes in fair value attributed to the entity’s own credit risk to be presented in other comprehensive 
income

introducing	 new	 general	 hedge	 accounting	 requirements	 intended	 to	 more	 closely	 align	 hedge	
accounting with risk management activities as well as the addition of new disclosure requirements

•	

requirements	for	impairment	of	financial	assets

This standard is not expected to impact the group.

•	 AASB	 15	 Revenue	 from	 Contracts	 with	 Customers	 and	 AASB	 2014-5	 Amendments	 to	
Australian	Accounting	Standards	arising	from	AASB	15	(applicable	for	annual	reporting	periods	
commencing	on	or	after	1	January	2018)

AASB  15  establishes  a  single,  comprehensive  framework  for  revenue  recognition,  and  replaces  the 
previous revenue Standards AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts, and the related 
Interpretations on revenue recognition Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, Interpretation 15 
Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, Interpretation 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and 
Interpretation 131 Revenue—Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

AASB 15 introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle of the new Standard 
being for entities to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts 
that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for 
those goods or services.  

AASB 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that 
were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) 
and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements.

Given that the Group is not yet earning revenue from operating activities the Group has not yet assessed 
the impact of this standard.

•	 AASB	1056	Superannuation	Entities	(applicable	for	annual	reporting	periods	commencing	on	or	

after	1	July	2016)

AASB	1056	is	applicable	for	superannuation	entities	which	are	regulated	by	APRA	and	increase	
the	level	of	integration	between	AASB	1056	and	other	AASB	standards.		Some	of	the	changes	
in	AASB	1056	include:

•	 A	revised	definition	of	a	superannuation	entity

•	 Revised	and	consistent	content	for	the	financial	statements			

•	 Use	of	fair	value	rather	than	net	market	value	for	measuring	assets	and	liabilities

•	 Revised	member	liability	recognition	and	measurement	requirements

•	 Revised	disclosure	principles

This standard is not expected to impact the Group. 

The  Group  does  not  anticipate  early  adoption  of  any  of  the  above  Australian  Accounting  Standards  or 
Interpretations.

The  Group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  revised  or  amending  accounting  standards  and  interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 
The adoption of these accounting standards and interpretations did not have any significant impact on the 
financial performance or position of the Group.

Notes to the Financial Statements

c. 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Medibio Limited and its controlled 
entities as at 30 June 2016 (the “Group”).

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is 
exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those 
returns through the power to direct the activities of the entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, 
using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and 
expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be 
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

d. 

Foreign currency translation

i.     Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation currency of Medibio Limited and its subsidiaries is Australian dollars 
(A$).  Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency using the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity operates and items included in the financial statements of 
each entity are measured using that functional currency.

ii.    Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates 
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. All exchange differences are 
taken to profit and loss when incurred.

e. 

Segment reporting

Operating segments are identified and segment information is disclosed on the basis of internal reports that 
are  regularly  provided  to,  or  reviewed  by,  the  Group’s  chief  operating  decision  maker  which,  for  the  Group, 
is the board of directors. In this regard, such information is provided using different measures to those used 
in  preparing  the  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other  Comprehensive  Income,  and  Statement  of  Financial 
Position. Reconciliations of such management information to the statutory information contained in the annual 
financial statements have been included in these financial statements.

f. 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the 
revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue 
is recognised:

i.     Sale of goods

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed 
to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured 
reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of 
the goods to the customer.

ii.    Interest income

Revenue  is  recognised  as  interest  accrues  using  the  effective  interest  method.  This  is  a  method  of 
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant 
period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts 
through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST.

42

g. 

Government grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all 
attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the 
grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to 
the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income over the expected useful life of the relevant 
asset by equal annual instalments.

h. 

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and production of assets that necessarily 
take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, 
until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income 
in the period in which they are incurred.

i. 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-
term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of 
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purpose of the Statement of Cash 
Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding 
bank overdrafts.

j. 

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 day terms are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less 
an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are 
written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the 
Group will not be able to collect the debts.

k. 

Investments and other financial assets

Recognition and De-recognition

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date the Group 
commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under 
contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention 
in the market place. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial 
assets have expired or been transferred.

i.     Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including loan notes and loans to KMP are non-derivative financial assets with 
fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market.  Such  assets  are  carried  at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of 
Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income when the loans and receivables are derecognised or 
impaired. These are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months 
after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current.

43

I N N O V A T I O N  

I N   M I N D

Notes to the Financial Statements

ii.    Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities that 
are designated as available-for-sale or are not suitable to be classified as any of the other preceding 
categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with gains or 
losses  being  recognised  as  a  separate  component  of  equity  until  the  investment  is  derecognised  or 
until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously 
reported in equity is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

The  fair  value  of  investments  that  are  actively  traded  in  organised  financial  markets  are  determined 
by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business at the end of the reporting period. 
For  investments  with  no  active  market,  fair  values  are  determined  using  valuation  techniques.  Such 
techniques  include:  using  recent  arm’s  length  market  transactions;  reference  to  the  current  market 
value  of  another  instrument  that  is  substantially  the  same;  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  and  option 
pricing models making as much use of available and supportable market data as possible and keeping 
judgemental inputs to a minimum.

iii.   Impairment

At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Group  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a 
financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a significant 
or prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has 
arisen.  Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income.

l. 

Income tax

The income tax expense (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense 
(benefit).

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be 
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are 
those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.   Deferred income tax 
liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:

•	 when	 the	 deferred	 income	 tax	 liability	 arises	 from	 the	 initial	 recognition	 of	 goodwill	 or	 of	 an	 asset	 or	
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

•	 when	 the	 taxable	 temporary	 difference	 is	 associated	 with	 investments	 in	 subsidiaries,	 associates	 or	
interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference cannot be controlled 
and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of deferred 
tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against 
which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused deferred tax assets  and unused 
tax losses can be utilised, except:

•	 when	the	deferred	income	tax	asset	relating	to	the	deductible	temporary	difference	arises	from	the	initial	
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of 
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or 

•	 when	 the	 deductible	 temporary	 difference	 is	 associated	 with	 investments	 in	 subsidiaries,	 associates	
or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it 
is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be 
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

44

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced 
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the 
deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end 
of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit 
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year 
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.  Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in 
equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.   Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset 
only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred 
tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Research  and  development  tax  offset  claims  are  recognised  as  a  tax  benefit  when  it  is  probable  that  the 
economic benefits will flow into the entity and the amount can be reliably measured.

Medibio Limited and the controlled entities  in  the tax  consolidated Group continue  to account for  their own 
current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the Group allocation approach in determining the 
appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated Group.

m. 

Other taxes

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  GST  except  when  the  GST  incurred 
on  a  purchase  of  goods  and  services  is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority,  in  which  case  the  GST 
is  recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of  acquisition  of  the  asset  or  as  part  of  the  expense  item  as  applicable.  
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

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

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

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority.

n. 

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of 
an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following 
initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated 
impairment  losses.  Internally  generated  intangible  assets,  excluding  capitalised  development  costs,  are  not 
capitalised and expenditure is charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the 
year in which expenditure is incurred.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-
generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite 
life is reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether the indefinite life assessment continues 
to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a 
change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.

Patents and licences are amortised over their term being 2 to 3 years.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Research and development costs

Research  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.  An  intangible  asset  arising  from  development  expenditure  on  an 
internal  project  is  recognised  only  when  the  Group  can  demonstrate  the  technical  feasibility  of  completing 
the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or 
sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete 
the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during  
its development.

Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset 
to  be  carried  at  cost  less  any  accumulated  amortisation  and  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Any  finite  life 
expenditure  so  capitalised  is  amortised  over  the  period  of  expected  benefits  from  the  related  project.  The 
carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually 
when the asset is not yet available for use, or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during 
the reporting period.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the 
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit and loss when the 
asset is derecognised.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for 
impairment  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be  impaired. 
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount.  Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs 
to sell and value in use.  For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels 
for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from 
other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units).  Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered 
impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the impairment may have reversed.

o. 

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided  to  the  Group  prior  to  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  that  are  unpaid  and  arise  when  the  Group 
becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of the goods and services. The amounts 
are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised 
as an expense on an accrual basis.

p. 

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

All  loans  and  borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  less  directly 
attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of 
the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

q. 

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the 
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

46

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, 
the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The 
expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 
net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to 
settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If the effect of the time value of money is material, 
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.

r. 

Employee benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected 
to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees 
services  up  to  the  reporting  date  and  are  measured  at  the  amount  expected  to  be  paid  when  the  liabilities  
are settled. 

Long service leave

A liability for long service leave is recognised, and is measured as the present value of expected future payments 
to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period.  Consideration 
is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.  
Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates attaching, as at the end of the reporting period, to 
Corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

s. 

Share-based payment transactions 

Equity settled transactions

The  Group  provides  benefits  to  its  employees  and  directors  in  the  form  of  share-based  payments,  whereby 
employees and directors render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently 
determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise 
price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility 
of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, 
together with non-vesting conditions that account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity 
over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value 
of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the 
vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at 
each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

t. 

Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Notes to the Financial Statements

u. 

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to 
exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

•	

•	

•	

costs	of	servicing	equity	(other	than	dividends);

the	after	tax	effect	of	dividends	and	interest	associated	with	dilutive	potential	ordinary	shares	that	have	
been recognised as expenses; and

other	non-discretionary	changes	in	revenues	or	expenses	during	the	period	that	would	result	from	the	
dilution of potential ordinary shares;

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for 
any bonus element.

v. 

Business combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving 
entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that 
control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent 
liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exceptions).

When  measuring  the  consideration  transferred  in  the  business  combination,  any  asset  or  liability  resulting 
from  a  contingent  consideration  arrangement  is  also  included.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  contingent 
consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  
within equity. 

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the Statement of Profit or 
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

 w. 

Fair value measurement

When  an  asset  or  liability,  financial  or  non-financial,  is  measured  at  fair  value  for  recognition  or  disclosure 
purposes  the  fair  value  is  based  on  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 and assumes that the 
transaction will take place either in the principle market or in the absence of a principle market, in the most  
advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or 
liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is 
based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which 
sufficient data is available to measure fair value, and used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and 
minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified,  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that 
reflects  the  significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications  are  reviewed  each 
reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input 
that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise 
is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on 
market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from 
one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the 
latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

3. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 

In  applying  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  management  continually  evaluates  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an 
impact on the Group. All judgments, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on 
the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgments, 
estimates and assumptions. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in the 
preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:

Significant accounting judgment

Impairment of assets and investments

The  Group  determines  whether  non-current  assets  (excluding  goodwill  and  indefinite  useful  life  intangible 
assets) should be tested for impairment based on identified impairment triggers. At the end of each reporting 
period  management  assesses  the  impairment  triggers  based  on  their  knowledge  and  judgement.  Where  an 
impairment trigger is identified, an estimate of the recoverable amount is required.

Capitalisation of development costs

The Group capitalises development costs when it is probable that the project will be a success; the group is 
able to use or sell the asset; has sufficient resources; the intent to complete the development and costs can be 
measured reliably. This involves significant judgement.

4. 

SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment	Information	

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the 
board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation 
of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings since the diversification 
of the Group’s operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. 
Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable  segments  disclosed  are  based  on  aggregating  operating  segments  where  the  segments  are 
considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

the	products	sold	and/or	services	provided	by	the	segment;

the	manufacturing	process;

the	type	or	class	of	customer	for	the	products	or	service;

the	distribution	method;	and

external	regulatory	requirements.

Types of products and services by segment

i. 

Mining and Gas Exploration

This market segment includes the income and expenditures pertaining to the investment opportunity through 
Frontier Oil Corporation. This asset is available for sale and fully impaired in these accounts.

ii. 

 Human Diagnostics

This market segment includes the income and expenditures pertaining to the investment opportunity through 
Invatec Health Pty Ltd and Medibio’s development of the Stress Algorithm.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect 
to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those 
adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

Inter-segment transactions

For the reporting period there have not been any inter-segment sales.

Salaries for research and development employees have been allocated to market segments on the basis of 
time sheets that support claims for the research and development tax offset credit. Corporate employee costs 
such as directors’ fees, salaries and superannuation are allocated to market segments on the basis of direct 
expenses and research and development salaries as a percentage of total expenses for the Group.   

Inter-segment  loans  payable  and  receivable  are  initially  recognised  at  the  consideration  received  net  of 
transaction costs.

Segment assets

In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature (i.e. prepayments, 
inventories,  sundry  debtors).  Corporate  fixed  assets  such  as  computer  equipment  and  furniture  and  fittings 
have not been allocated to market segments.

Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the liability incurred and the operations 
of the segment. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

Unallocated Items

The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they 
are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:

•	 Cash	and	term	deposits;

•	

Interest	received;

•	 Prepayments;

•	

Fixed	assets;

•	 Borrowings;	and

•	 Other	payables.

Deferred tax asset arising from tax losses not brought to account  

at the end of the reporting period as realisation is not regarded as probable 

43,351 

251,400

The potential deferred tax asset will only be obtained if:

i. 

future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to 
be realised;

ii. 

the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and

iii.  no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit.

At 30 June 2016, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred tax liability (2015: nil) for taxes that would be payable on 

the unremitted earnings of certain of the Group’s subsidiaries, as the Group has no liability for additional taxation should such 

amounts be remitted.

Tax consolidation

Effective 1 July 2003, for the purposes of income taxation, Medibio Limited and its 100% owned subsidiaries have formed a 

tax consolidated group. Members of the group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax 

expense to the wholly-owned subsidiaries on a pro-rata basis. In addition the agreement provides for the allocation of income 

tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. 

Tax accounting by members of the tax consolidated group

Members of the tax consolidated Group have entered into a tax funding arrangement. The tax funding arrangement provides 

for  the  allocation  of  current  taxes  to  members  of  the  tax  consolidated  Group  in  accordance  with  the  available  fractions 

belonging  to  each  subsidiary,  which  is  directly  linked  to  prior  year  losses  that  have  been  accumulated.  In  the  event  of 

the  Company  generating  future  taxable  profits,  the  tax  losses  will  be  absorbed  according  to  the  available  fractions  within  

the Group.

The  allocation  of  taxes  under  the  tax  funding  agreement  is  recognised  as  an  increase/decrease  in  the  subsidiaries’ 

intercompany  accounts  with  the  tax  consolidated  Group  head  company,  Medibio  Limited.  The  Group  has  applied  the 

Group  allocation  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  current  taxes  to  allocate  to  members  of  the  tax  

consolidated Group.

Frontier Oil Corporation

(i) 
The company acquired 430,000,000 shares in Frontier Oil Corporation (‘FOC’) for a total investment cost of 
$5,188,265 during the year ended 30 June 2013.  In September 2013, the Company sold 110,000,000 of its 
430,000,000 shares held in FOC for net funds of $1,690,425.

The  investment  is  carried  at  original  cost  less  disposals.  This  is  an  investment  in  an  unlisted  entity  and  is 
therefore difficult to obtain fair value. The directors, have fully impaired the investment at 30 June 2015.

Listed Shares

As at 30 June 2016, Medibio holds 47,544 Solagran Limited shares. Solagran Limited was delisted from the 
ASX on 31 December 2015 and the investment has been fully impaired. This is the residual balance from a 
development agreement to commercialise CGNC terminated in 2010.

ISSUED CAPITAL (continued)

c. 

Capital management

When  managing  capital,  management’s  objective  is  to  ensure  the  entity  continues  as  a  going  concern  as 
well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.  The company’s debt 
and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.  There are no 
externally imposed capital requirements.

Going concern statement 

As at 30 June 2016 the Group had net asset position of $8,494,308 (2015: $9,111,081).  However, as at 30 
June 2016, it had:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

incurred	a	loss	for	the	year	of	$5,824,371	(2015:	$7,921,702);

cash	outflow	from	operations	of	$2,700,962	(2015:	$1,515,083);

cash	at	bank	of	$1,039,944	(2015:	$944,301);

borrowings	(non-current)	from	the	acquisition	of	patents	of	$3,298,153	(2015:	$3,495,653);	and

current	liabilities	in	excess	of	current	assets	by	$2,205,232	(2015:	$1,391,403)

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the generation of cash from operations, 
the sufficiency of current cash reserves to meet existing obligations, the ability to reschedule planned research 
and development activity, raising of further equity and receipt of research and development tax incentives.

On 8 September 2015 the Group raised $3,092,034 through the issue of 7,730,087 shares on 8 September 
2015. The Directors of Medibio Limited are confident that the company is able to raise further equity from its 
shareholders and sophisticated and professional investors, if required.

The Directors of Medibio Limited expect to receive an R&D grant refund of $3,074,224 in the next quarter. 

As part of the April 2015 capital reconstruction, Medibio issued 15,000,000 options exercisable on the payment 
of 10 cents on or before 1 April 2018 and 6,666,667 options exercisable on the payment of 30 cents on or 
before 1 April 2017. At the date of this report 1,500,000 (10% of the total) of the 1 April 2018 10 cents options 
have been exercised. The 6,666,667 30 cent options expire 1 April 2017 and the Directors expect they will be 
exercised subject to the share price remaining above 30 cents and that the 10 cent options will continue to be 
exercised. Based on the Company’s historical ability to raise new capital and public announcements made (as 
disclosed in the Directors Review of Operations) the Directors believe it is reasonable to expect the share price 
to remain above 30 cents.

Accordingly, Directors believe the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due for a period of at 
least 12 months from the date of these financial statements.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIvES AND POLICIES

The  Group’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  receivables,  payables,  cash,  investments  and  
short-term deposits.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange 
risk  and  liquidity  risk.  The  Group  uses  different  methods  to  measure  and  manage  different  types  of  risks  to 
which  it  is  exposed.  These  include  monitoring  the  levels  of  exposure  to  interest  rates  and  assessments  of 
market forecast for interest rates. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow 
forecasts that are tabled and reviewed at each board meeting.

Risk exposures and responses

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and 
other receivables. The Group’s maximum exposures to credit risk at the end of the reporting period in relation to 
each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Statement 
of Financial Position. The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by having 
payment terms of 30 days and receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the 
Group has currently never had an exposure to bad debts. 

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification 
procedures.    Term  deposits  are  placed  with  major  financial  institutions  to  minimise  the  risk  of  default  of 
counterparties.

Interest	rate	risk	

The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s funds held on term deposit.  At 
the end of the reporting period the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to 
interest rate risk:

Financial assets  

Cash and cash equivalents 

Consolidated 

2016 
$ 

2015 
$

1,039,944 

944,301

The Group’s policy is to place funds on interest-bearing term deposit that are surplus to immediate requirements. 
The Group’s interest rate exposure is reviewed near the maturity date of term deposits, to assess whether more 
attractive rates are available without increasing risk.  The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest 
rate exposures in existence at the end of the reporting period:

At  30  June  2016,  if  interest  rates  had  moved,  as  illustrated  in  the  table  below,  with  all  other  variables  held 
constant, post-tax loss and equity would have been affected as follows:

                                          Post tax loss 
                                            Higher/ (lower) 

                                   Equity
                                    Higher/ (lower)

The movements in losses are due to higher/ (lower) interest income from cash balances. There is no impact on 
equity other than impact on accumulated losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Liquidity risk

The Group’s objective is to maintain sufficient funds to finance its current operations and additional funds to 
ensure its long-term survival. The Group has no finance facilities in place and therefore it is currently dependent 
on capital raisings and government tax incentives for short-term survival. 

Foreign Currency Risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies on purchases of goods in currencies other than the 
Group’s functional currency. The group manages the risk by monitoring the level of exposure to foreign currency 
transactions and limiting where possible.

Fair value

The  carrying  amount  of  all  recognised  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  is  considered  a  reasonable 
approximation of their fair value due to their short-term nature.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There were no known contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2016.
