medilandpharm.com.auChairman’s report

Dear Shareholders,

It is with pleasure that the Board of Directors (the “Board” 
of Mediland Pharm Limited (the “Company” or “Mediland 
Pharm”) presents the first Annual Report after the 
Company’s listing on the Australian Securities Exchange  
in February 2019. The Board and the management team 
have worked diligently to carry out the strategic plans  
that were outlined in the Prospectus for our listing.

Mediland Pharm was founded as a family business in 2002 
and has grown to become a market leading retailer servicing 
the Chinese inbound tourism sector in Australia. Since listing 
of the Company, the Board has worked closely with the 
management team to maintain and build revenues from 
these activities. We have been actively engaged in setting 
and providing oversight of long-term strategic priorities, 
including instituting initiatives to drive profitable growth, 
and building long-term shareholder value whilst maintaining 
the high standards of corporate governance that our 
shareholders expect.

Over the past few months since listing, the Company has 
made significant progress on fulfilling our goals as outlined 
in the Prospectus and diversifying our revenue base as a 
result. On 18 April 2019, we opened our first New Zealand 
retail store in Auckland, which turned over more than 
$1 million in the first month of trading. The planned phased 
acquisition of Ian’s Health Lounge and the associated online 
platform has progressed well and has equipped Mediland 
Pharm with the infrastructure to reach out to new customers 
in China, and to continue the association with our customers 
once they return to China. The on-line platform has already 
been implemented in our Sydney store, and has achieved 
early repeat sales, and we aim to replicate this within all 
our stores. The next phase of the Ian’s Health Lounge 
acquisition process, which comprises purchase of the 
China-based retail stores, is expected to complete before 
the end of December 2019. In addition, the Company is 
now offering our own branded health supplement products 
and is developing our own new products, containing clean 
and environmentally friendly ingredients sourced from of 
Australia and New Zealand.

With the proceeds of the initial public offering, the Company 
is refurbishing the existing Australian stores commencing 
with the Gold Coast, where the Company has leased new 
larger premises, which is currently undergoing a fit-out.  

This is expected to be completed by late 2019. In Sydney, 
we expect to open a new flagship store by October 2019 in 
the CBD, to further expand the Ian’s Health Lounge’s brand. 

The Board and management are cognisant of the international 
political tensions and their potential to affect Mediland Pharm’s 
revenue growth in the short term. The Company intends 
to address this by diversifying our business model, whilst 
still retaining our aim of providing all our customers with 
memorable shopping experiences both directly via the visit 
to its retail stores and through the on-line shopping platform 
of Ian’s Health Lounge. 

The Company has already proactively instituted the 
development of new relationships with key stakeholders to 
target large incentive groups to realise our aim of expansion 
and diversification. In August 2019 the first of these incentive 
groups, comprising approximately 2000 people, visited our 
Sydney and Gold Coast stores, which provided an encouraging 
boost to Mediland Pharm’s revenues. We plan to build on and 
expand these initiatives in the coming financial year. 

The Board continues to be excited about the business of 
Mediland Pharm and its growth prospects. The Company has 
a strong and profitable business underpinned by a highly 
skilled and experienced management team with long-term 
strategic partnerships, leveraging the rising income levels  
in China and the continued strong interest in inbound tourism 
from China to Australia and New Zealand, that continues 
despite the current international political environment. 

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all Shareholders 
for your interest and ongoing support, and I look forward  
to Mediland Pharm’s on-going growth and profitability into 
the future.

Yours faithfully

Dr Peter French 
Chairman

Mediland Pharm Limited / Annual Report 2019Operating and financial review

Mediland Pharm Limited (referred to hereafter as the “Company”) and the entities it controlled has recorded revenue from 
continuing operations of $30,661,259 (2018 $34,083,675) and a net loss for the year of $11,344 (2018 profit of $3,428,033).

In FY2019 the absence of incentive groups and a lower average spend per store visitor (largely attributed to the negative 
sentiment created by the current international political environment) largely explains the 10% reduction in revenue. In FY 2018, 
Mediland Pharm secured its first ever incentive group following refurbishment of our Sydney store. This was not repeated 
in FY 2019. Pleasingly, in August this year, the Company attracted two incentive groups comprising approximately 2000 
delegates to the Sydney and Gold Coast stores. 

Whilst the gross profit was 9% down on prior year, the cost of sales was 15% down on the prior year. The decline in 
profitability resulted principally from significant one-off costs associated with the ASX listing. In addition, there was an 
increase in employee benefit expenses and share-based payment expenses due to the award of shares in the public 
company to employees and directors. 

The Directors note that the cash at hand was $12,047,350 as at 30 June 2019.

Outlook for 2020
Since listing on the ASX in February 2019, management and the Board of the Company have taken several steps to diversify 
the revenue base of the company. These include: 

•  Opening of a store in Auckland;

•  The staged acquisition of Ian’s Health Lounge and its online platform; 

•  Store refurbishment and increase in floorspace at certain locations;

•  A new flagship “Ian’s Health Lounge” store to open in the Sydney CBD;

•  Development of the Company’s own branded health and wellness products; and

•  Addition of new products – these have been carefully selected to enhance the in-store range, but more importantly  

to appeal to the online shoppers who are already utilising and purchasing via the online platform.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling  
the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

•  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

•  Details of remuneration

•  Service agreements

•  Share-based compensation

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate 
for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation 
of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of 
Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

•  competitiveness and reasonableness

•  acceptability to shareholders

•  performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation

•  transparency

The Remuneration & Nominations Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements  
for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives.  
The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.

The Remuneration & Nominations Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market 
competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the consolidated entity.

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders’ interests. The Board have considered that  
it should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by:

•  having economic profit as a core component of plan design

•  focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering 

constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value

•  attracting and retaining high calibre executives

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives’ interests by:

•  rewarding capability and experience

•  reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth

•  providing a clear structure for earning rewards

11

Mediland Pharm Limited / Annual Report 2019Directors’ report (continued)

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

Non-executive directors remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors’  
fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration & Nominations Committee. The Remuneration & Nominations 
Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive 
directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The chairman’s fees are determined independently 
to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present 
at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive share options 
or other incentives.

ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. 
The most recent determination was in the Prospectus dated 23 November 2018. This amount has initially been fixed by the 
Company at $700,000.

Executive remuneration
The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which 
has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components:

•  base pay and non-monetary benefits

•  short-term performance incentives

•  share-based payments

•  other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the 
Remuneration & Nominations Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance  
of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle 
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive.

The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave and share-based payments. Shares are awarded to executives 
over a period of three years based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholders value relative 
to the entire market and the increase compared to the consolidated entity’s direct competitors. The Remuneration & 
Nominations Committee reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during  
the year ended 30 June 2019.

Group performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration is not directly linked to the performance of the Group.

Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial period ended 30 June 2019, the Group did not engage any remuneration consultants to review its existing 
remuneration policies and provide recommendations on how to improve them.

Details of remuneration
Amounts of remuneration
Details of the remuneration of key management personnel of the Group are set out in the following tables.

Non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in Note 24 to the financial statements.

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

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 24 to the financial statements do not compromise  
the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity  

of the auditor; and

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 

of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the consolidated 
entity, acting as advocate for the consolidated entity or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the 
financial statements. Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with the instrument to the 
nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Auditor’s independence declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this directors’ report.

Auditor
BDO East Coast Partnership continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

of the financial report are set out below. The financial report 
covers the consolidated group of Mediland Pharm Limited 
(“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”).

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies 
adopted by the consolidated Group in the preparation of the  
financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently 
applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report 
that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting 
Interpretations) of the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board (AASB) and Corporations Act 2001 as appropriate  
for profit oriented entities.

(i) Historical cost convention
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis 
and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable 
by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current 
assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

(ii) Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use 
of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process 
of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas 
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity,  
or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant  
to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2(g).

(b) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern 
basis. Notwithstanding the Group generated a loss after-
tax of $11,244, those non-recurring expenses includes 
share-based payment and listing cost total amounting to 
$1.3 million. And Income tax expenses in relation to tax 

consolidation group adjustment of $0.41 million is once-off 
cost. Furthermore, the Group had a net assets position at 
30 June 2019 of $13,040,591 and cash on hand amount of 
$12 million. The directors believe the going concern basis 
of preparation of the financial statements is appropriate 
based on trading forecasts prepared and the future growth 
of the Group.

(c) Comparative information
The comparative information presented in the financial 
statements represents the financial position and financial 
performance of the then parent PMG, and the Australian 
businesses. Detailed explained in the Note 14 of business 
restructure reserve.

(d) Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner 
that ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies 
the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring 
that the substance of the underlying transactions or other 
events is reported. Other significant accounting policies 
are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial 
statements to which they relate.

(e) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred 
is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these 
circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost 
of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the 
expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of 
financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows 
are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, 
except for the GST component of investing and financing 
activities which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(f) Employee benefits
Employees of the Group receive defined contribution 
superannuation entitlements for which the Group pays  
the fixed superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 
9.5% of the employee’s average ordinary salary) to the 
employee’s superannuation fund of choice. All contributions 
in respect of employees’ defined contribution entitlements 
are recognized as an expense when they become payable. 
The Group’s obligation with respect to employees’ defined 
contribution entitlements is limited to its obligation for 
any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at 
the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid 
superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at 
the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the 
obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities 
in the Group’s statement of financial position.

(g) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities 
is measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated 
financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars 
which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

23

Mediland Pharm Limited / Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional 
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of 
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated 
at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items 
measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the 
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary 
items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange 
rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of 
monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss, except 
where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net 
investment hedge.

Exchange difference arising on translation of non-monetary 
items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the 
gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the 
exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss.

Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations 
whose functional currency is different from the Group’s 
presentation currency are translated as follows:

•  assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange 

rates prevailing at that reporting date

•  income and expense are translated at average exchange 

rates for the year; and

•  retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates 

prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign 
operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign 
currency translation reserve in the statement of financial 
position. These differences are also recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income as other comprehensive 
income. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit 
or loss when the foreign operation is disposed of.

(h) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements 
incorporated into the financial report based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates 
assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are 
based on current trends and economic data, obtained both 
externally and within the Group. Information on material 
estimates and judgements used in applying the accounting 
policies can be found in the following notes:

(i) New accounting standards and interpretation
The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 
1 July 2018.

New standards and amendments to standards which are 
not yet effective have not been early adopted. A discussion 
of the requirements and their impact on the Group of the 
adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB15 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers is as follows:

AASB 9: Financial Instruments
Mandatory date of application: 1st July 2018

The Standard replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised 
guidance on the classification and measurement of financial 
instruments, including a new expected credit loss model 
for calculation of impairment on financial assets and new 
general hedge accounting requirements. It also carried 
forward guidance on recognition and derecognition of 
financial instruments from AASB139.

Assessment of Impact
The Group has assessed the new standard and based  
on its financial assets and liabilities, the key impact of the 
standard on the Group was in relation to trade debtors and 
the assessment of the provision for doubtful debts under  
the expected credit loss model.

The expected credit loss model requires an entity to 
account for expected credit losses and changes in those 
expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect 
changes. The Group has adopted a simplified approach for 
trade receivables on the initial transition date (1 July 2018) 
which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade 
receivables and contract assets. As the ECL assessment 
has resulted in an immaterial credit loss no impairment 
allowance has been recognised by the Group.

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Mandatory date of application: 1st July 2018

AASB 15 establishes a single comprehensive five-step 
model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising 
from contracts with customers. AASB 15 superseded the 
current revenue recognition guidance including AASB 
118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and the 
related interpretations.

Assessment of Impact
The Group has adopted AASB 15 using the cumulative effect 
method (by recognising the cumulative effect of initially 
applying AASB 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance 
of equity at 1 July 2018). The transition exercise on adopting 
AASB 15 did not result in an adjustment to the opening 
balance of equity at 1 July 2018. Comparative information 
has not been restated and continues to be reported under 
AASB 118.

medilandpharm.com.auNote 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group identifies its operating segments based on the 
internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Group’s 
chief operating decision makers (CODM). The CODM consists 
of the Executive Key Management Personnel as disclosed 
in the Remuneration Report on pages 11 to 16. For the year 
ended 30 June 2019, the Group continues to operate only  
in one segment being a retailer servicing the Chinese 
inbound tourism sector in Australia and New Zealand.

The aggregation criteria under AASB 8 – Operating 
Segments has been applied to include the results of 
Mediland Australian and New Zealand entities within 
the retailer services segment. All the sales revenue and 
marketing activities are managed within the Group’s head 
office which is based in Sydney, Australia.

Sales of goods
The Group has earned the sales revenue from the sale of 
products through its four retail stores. Revenue for these 
activities are recognised when the customers obtain control 
of these assets at the point in time when the customer has 
obtained control of the goods which is considered to be 
fulfilment of the performance obligation. Revenue is measured 
with consideration to any trade discounts and volume rebates.

Commission income
The Group also derives revenue from commission through 
agreements with third party retailers who pay the Group 
a commission from the sales generated on Chinese tour 
groups that the Group arranges to visit these third party 
retailers. Revenue for these activities are recognised when 
the tour groups purchased the products with these third 
party retailers and obtain control of these assets at the 
time of delivery of the goods.

AASB 16: Leases
Mandatory date of application: 1st July 2019

AASB 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the 
identification of lease arrangements and accounting 
treatments for both lessors and lessees. AASB16 will 
supersede the current lease guidance including AASB 
117 Leases and the related interpretations when it 
becomes effective.

AASB 16 distinguishes leases and service contracts on 
the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by 
a customer. Distinctions of operating leases (off balance 
sheet) and finance leases (on balance sheet) are removed 
for lessee accounting, and are replaced by a mode where 
a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to 
be recognised for all leases by lessees (i.e. all on balance 
sheet) except for short-term leases and leases of low 
value assets.

Assessment of Impact
As at 30 June 2019, the Group has non-cancellable operating 
lease commitments of $1,626,815 (Note 23). The Group is in 
the process of completing an assessment of the impact of 
adoption of AASB 16 on these commitments.

The full financial impact of adopting AASB 16 has not yet been 
determined, however the following impacts are expected  
on implementation date:

•  A material right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be 

recognised on the Balance Sheet.

•  Finance costs will increase due to the impact of the 

interest component of the lease liability.

•  Depreciation expense will increase due to depreciation  

of the right-of-use asset over the lease term.

•  Lease rental operating expenses will reduce to nil.

•  In the Cash Flow Statement, operating cash outflows  
will decrease and financing cash outflows will increase  
as repayment of the principal balance in the lease liability 
will be classified as a financing activity.

Note 5. INCOME TAX EXPENSES (continued)
Recognition and Measurement
Current tax
The income tax expense/(benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(benefit), and deferred tax expense/
(benefit). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using 
applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period together with the 
research and development claim submitted for the reporting period. Current tax liabilities/assets are therefore measured  
at the amounts expected to be paid to/recovered from the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the 
assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

•  When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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  
nor taxable profits; or

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

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on 
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Mediland Pharm Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated 
group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to 
account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within 
group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash  
and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash at bank bears floating interest rates. The interest rate relating to cash and cash equivalents for the year across all bank 
accounts was between 0.00% and 2.40% (2017-18: between 0.00% and 2.40%).

1,322,814

Recognition and Measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected 
loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. Trade receivables and contract assets have shared credit risk 
characteristics and, as such, the expected loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of loss rates for 
contract assets. Losses incurred in the last 3 years represent less than 0.1% of receivables and are immaterial. Therefore,  
no impairment has been recorded.

Other receivables are recognized at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

Recognition and Measurement
Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a ‘first in first out’ basis. Cost comprises of costs 
of purchase, delivery costs, import duties and other taxes. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting 
rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Key estimates and judgement
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the 
provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that 
affect inventory obsolescence.

medilandpharm.com.auRecognition and Measurement
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Furniture and fittings

Leasehold improvements

Office equipment

Motor vehicle

3-40 years

3-10 years

1-5 years

5-10 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter.

Key estimates and judgements:

Estimation of useful lives of assets
The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant 
and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations 
or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously 
estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or 
written down.

with the amount being normally paid with 30 days of recognition of the liability.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s trade and other payables are denominated in Australian dollars. For an analysis

Recognition and Measurement
Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance 
date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected 
to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the 
liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting 
requirements. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity 
that match the expected timing of cash flows.

Short-term employee benefits
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 amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 
recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is 
measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to 
the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, 
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields 
at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, 
the estimated future cash outflows.

Recognition and Measurement
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion 
to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands, every holder of ordinary shares present at 
a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. Ordinary shares 
have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly 
in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

Recognition and Measurement
Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other comprehensive income 
and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net 
investment is disposed of.

Share-based payment reserve
The share-based payment reserve is used to recognise the grant date fair value of shares issued and vested to employees 
and directors. Refer to Note 16.

Group restructure reserve
During the Initial Public Offering of the Group’s shares on the Australian Securities Exchange, Pacific Merchants Group Limited 
(PMG), the parent entity of the Group undertook a group restructure whereby PMG’s ownership of its Australian businesses 
was transferred to Mediland Pharm Limited. The Australian business comprised PMG’s wholly owned subsidiaries; Darling 
Harbour Pty Ltd, St.Wells Pty Ltd and Surfers Paradise Pty Ltd. As the Australian businesses were controlled by the same 
party both before and after, in the opinion of the directors, the restructuring represents a group restructure of entities under 
common control and therefore the requirements of AASB 3 Business Combinations do not apply.

The Group restructure has resulted in the recognition of a restructure reserve, being the amount of the net assets of PMG  
as at the date of restructure.

Note 16. SHARE BASED PAYMENT
An employee incentive plan (“EIP”) has been established by the Group at the initial public offering, whereby the Group may,  
at the discretion of the Remuneration & Nominations Committee, grant performance rights, options, deferred share awards or 
exempt share awards which may be subject to vesting conditions set by the Board. During the year, the Group has granted 
the EIP rights to be issued Shares for nil consideration in lieu of part of the Non-Executive Directors’ (NED) fees. On the each 
anniversary after the grant date, the directors will receive $10,000 worth of shares in the company in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Based on the EIP, the Company has also established a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) to encourage the high performance 
of its key management personnel and senior management personnel in order to promote the long-term success of the 
Company. The LTIP is an equity-based plan which is delivered in the form of Performance Rights. These Performance Rights 
have a three year vesting period and will vest at the end of its period.

Performance rights were issued during the year, pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan. Fair values at grant date are 
determined using a Binomial Option Pricing Model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the 
share price at the grant date, the expected volatility of the underlying share, expected dividend yield, and risk free interest 
rate for the term of the option. The model inputs for performance rights granted during the year ended 30 June 2019 are

Recognition and Measurement
Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at fair value of the 
equity instrument at the grant date.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis 
over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest.

Key estimates and judgements
At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of rights that are expected to become exercisable. The 
employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision 
to the original estimates, is recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value is measured 
at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the rights.

Mediland Pharm Limited / Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Note 18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The director’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising 
potential adverse effect on financial performance. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by Director on 
a regular basis. These include the credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through 
foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting.

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting 
date were as follows:

Consolidated

New Zealand dollars

2,298,363

–

1,102,614

Assets

2019 
$

2018 
$

Liabilities

$

–

The Group had net assets denominated in New Zealand dollar of $1,195,749 (assets of $2,298,363 less liabilities of $1,102,614) 
as at 30 June 2019 (2018: Nil). Based on this exposure, had the Australian dollars weakened by 5%/strengthened by 5% against 
these New Zealand dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group ‘s profit before tax for the year would have been 
$58,586 lower/$58,586 higher. The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, which 
is based on management’s assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations taking into consideration movements over the 
last 12 months each year and the spot rate at each reporting date. The actual foreign exchange gain for the year ended 
30 June 2019 was $Nil (2018: Nil).

Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 
Group. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and deposits with banks. As sales to retail customers are settled  
in cash or using major credit cards within 24 hours, the Group is mitigated from any material credit risk exposure to any 
single debtor or group of debtors.

The Group has a credit risk exposure with a major Australian retailer from which the commission revenue has generated, 
which as at 30 June 2019 owed the Group $527,907. (2018: $196,837). This balance was within its terms of trade and no 
impairment was made as at 30 June 2019. There are no guarantees against this receivable but management closely monitors 
the receivable balance on a monthly basis and is in regular contact with this customer to mitigate risk. The Group has a strict 
code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The 
Group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting 
date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed 
in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral.

The Group has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through 
the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative 
across all customers of the Group based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information 
that is available.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the 
failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments 
for a period greater than 1 year.

36

medilandpharm.com.auLiquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) 
and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast 
cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed above.

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the 
statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, 
between knowledgeable, willing parties at arm’s length transaction.

Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions 
may have material impact on the amounts estimated.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are short-term instruments in nature 
whose carrying value is approximate to fair value.

Note 19. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce 
the cost of capital.

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred  
to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of Mediland Pharm Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Mediland Pharm Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement 
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes 
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ 
declaration. 

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

(i) 

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its 
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and  

(ii) 

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for opinion  

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

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

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

Key audit matters 

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

Revenue recognition  

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

As disclosed in Note 2(i) and Note 4 in 
the financial report, the Group 
generates revenue from the sale of 
goods from its retail stores and receives 
commissions from third party 
retailers.    

The Group's management focuses on 
revenue as a key driver by which the 
performance of the Group is measured.   

This is a key audit matter due to the 
volume of transactions and the total

•  Obtaining an understanding and documenting the 
processes and controls used by the Group in 
recording revenue; 

•  Performing analytical procedures on a 

disaggregated basis on the retail stores and by 
month;

Share-based payments  

Key audit matter  

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

During the financial year the Group 
issued shares to directors and key 
management personnel, which have 
been accounted for as share-based 
payments. 

Refer to Note 16 in the financial 
report for a description of the 
accounting policy and significant 
estimates and judgements applied to 
these arrangements.   

Share-based payments is a key audit 
matter as the accounting can be 
complex and requires judgement and 
the use of assumptions. 

Our audit procedures included, among others:  

•  Reviewing the individual agreements, market 

announcements and board minutes to ensure all 
new performance rights issued during the year had 
been accounted for; 

•  Considering whether the Group used an appropriate 

model in valuing the performance rights; 

•  Re-performing the calculation of share based 
payments by applying the estimates and 
assumptions used by management; 

•  Evaluating management’s assumptions used in the 
calculation being interest rate, volatility, dividend 
and the expected vesting period; and 

•  Evaluating the adequacy and accuracy of the 
disclosure of the share-based payment 
arrangements in the financial report.

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date 
of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, 
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report  

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free

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