Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the OncoSil Medical
Board, I am pleased to present
our 2018-2019 Annual Report.
In July 2018, the final patient was
recruited in the PanCO trial, which
is the main clinical trial OncoSil™
has been running (in Australia,
UK and Belgium) to collect safety
and effectiveness data on the
OncoSil device for treating non
resectable pancreatic cancer.
Thus, the focus of the company
for Fiscal 2019 has been collecting
and analysing these PanCO
clinical data, with the aim of
obtaining European regulatory
approval (CE Mark).
Despite the initial unfavourable
assessment from the British
Standards Institute (BSI) and
its Clinical Oversight Committee
(COC) regarding the CE Marking
application submitted last year
for the OncoSil™ device, we have
since submitted updated clinical
data and analysis from the positive
results seen in the PanCO study.
In December 2018 we strengthened
the Board with the addition of
Michael Bassett. Mr Bassett has
an extensive background in capital
markets and small-cap ASX stocks
with a particular emphasis on life
science companies.
On behalf of the Board, I would
like to thank our Chief Executive
Officer Daniel Kenny, and the
entire OncoSil Medical team
for their contributions throughout
the year. I would also like to thank
the Board for their tireless efforts
in 2019.
We look forward to building
on our recent momentum for
the OncoSil™ device as we
continue to make a difference
through our important mission
of transforming the prognosis
of pancreatic cancer.
Sincerely,
Dr Chris Roberts, AO
Chairman, OncoSil Medical
Our comprehensive response
to BSI was developed and
prepared with the support of
leading, pre-eminent medical
experts, addressing issues and
concerns from BSI and the COC.
Obtaining CE Marking remains
the Company’s focus in the short
term and we look forward to
updating investors on
developments on this front.
Clinical data from the PanCO
study were presented at the
American Society of Clinical
Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting
2019 in Chicago. The study data
showed promising overall survival
estimates for these patients with
non resectable locally advanced
pancreatic cancer (LAPC), with
mean overall survival of 16 months.
This is a significant result given the
accepted population median
overall survival estimates of
patients is only 9 – 11 months.
Of the 42 patients implanted
with OncoSil™ in the PanCO trial,
10 patients have undergone
surgical resection of the tumour
with curative intent. This is
remarkable given the patients
were not candidates for surgery
prior to implantation, and is
indicative of the effect radiation
has had on shrinking tumours.

OncoSil Medical
Annual Report 2019
CEO’s Report
In 2019, OncoSil’s primary
focus was to continue its efforts
to commercialise our lead
device, OncoSil™.
The Company achieved a number
of key clinical and operational
milestones as it continues to bring
the OncoSil™ device to market.
In October 2018, the Company
submitted its Clinical Evaluation
Report to the British Standards
Institute (BSI) in support of CE
Marking based on the results from
the PanCO study. In March 2019,
BSI and its Clinical Oversight
Committee (COC) notified
OncoSil of its initial unfavourable
assessment of the Company’s
CE Marking application.
On 30 July, the Company submitted
a detailed and comprehensive
response to questions raised
by BSI and its Clinical Oversight
Committee. This response was
developed and prepared with the
support of leading, pre-eminent
experts in medical oncology,
radiation oncology and Hepato-
Pancreato-Biliary surgery.
We believe our submission is
robust and addresses all issues
and concerns from the notified
body and look forward to updating
shareholders on progress to the
final CE Marking determination.
Clinical advancements
In July 2018, OncoSil successfully
completed patient recruitment
for its PanCO study across all
participating sites in Australia, the
UK and Belgium – with 50 patients
enrolled in total. 42 of these patients
were subsequently implanted with
the OncoSil™ device.
With a median follow-up of
16.1 months (as of May 2019), the
PanCO study results now provide
a long-term assessment of the
safety and tolerability of the
OncoSil™ device, as well as
clearly demonstrating clinically
relevant benefits for patients with
unresectable locally advanced
pancreatic cancer including:
“ We believe our submission is robust and
addresses all issues and concerns from the
notified body and look forward to updating
shareholders on progress to the final CE
Marking determination.”

With our recent response to the
BSI and COC, coupled with the
positive Overall Survival data and
other encouraging clinical results
from the PanCO study, we remain
positive of the significant milestones
ahead for OncoSil.
We look forward to building
on our accomplishments to date
throughout 2020, as we work
towards commercialising our
device and improving patient
outcomes in the area of
pancreatic cancer.
Sincerely,
Daniel Kenny
Chief Executive Officer,
OncoSil Medical
The Overall Survival result
is comparable to, and in many
cases surpasses that of the best
available published literature
in patients with locally advanced
pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Using
these data, we have submitted
our formal response to the initial
unfavourable assessment by the
British Standards Institute (BSI)
and its Clinical Oversight
Committee (COC) for CE Marking
for the OncoSil™ device.
Additionally, in 2019, US FDA
confirmed the PanCO (ex-US)
clinical study safety data met
Investigational Device Exemption
(IDE) requirements and that
OncoSil could proceed to run its
full US pivotal study without further
US patient data. The Company’s
US OncoPaC-1 clinical study
has since completed patient
recruitment, with 9 patients
enrolled and implanted with
the OncoSil™ device.
As part of our commercialisation
strategy, during the year, we also
appointed IQVIA as the EU market
access and reimbursement
advisor. We continue to work
with the group in the lead up
to the COC’s review and final
CE Marking determination.
Financial position
The net cash outflow from
operations for the year was
$7.5 million, resulting in a cash
balance of $7.7 million as at
30 June.
As a precaution, since the third
quarter of the financial year,
OncoSil has been operating
under a revised business plan
as it awaits CE Marking decision.
We have targeted a reduction
in annualised cash cost base
through reductions in operating
expenditure, R&D expenditure
and have also paused new
clinical trial and study activities
until greater certainty around
CE Marking is achieved.
OncoSil intends to continue
with such measures in the future
with the aim of maximizing long-
term shareholder value with
respect to the road ahead.
Finally, we understand that the
road to commercialisation is not
always a straightforward path,
and so we would like to thank our
shareholders for their continued
support and investment in OncoSil
Medical during the year.

An incredibly important focus
About Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer occurs when
abnormal cells in the pancreas
grows out of control, with symptoms
varying according to the tumour
type and location. Unfortunately,
symptoms are often difficult to
detect in the early stages of the
disease, meaning tumours can
grow over time without detection.
There are an average of 79,000
new cases of pancreatic cancer
in the EU each year, 42,000 in
the US, and 3,350 in Australia.
Treatment options remain
limited for patients with the
disease, making OncoSil’s goal
of delivering targeted and effective
therapy incredibly important.
What’s the need?
There is significant unmet
patient need in the treatment
of pancreatic cancer. Consider

OncoSil™ device and
technology platform
OncoSil™ is a single-use
brachytherapy device that
implants a pre-determined
dose of beta radiation directly
into cancerous tissue. The beta
particles emitted by OncoSil™
travel a short distance in the
tissue causing damage to cancer
cell DNA, which renders them
incapable of further cell division
and proliferation.
The device is used for the
treatment of pancreatic cancer
and intended for patients who
are unable to undergo surgery to
remove their tumours due to either
tumour size, or the location in the
pancreas. Approximately 20 per
cent of patients at diagnosis are
able to have an operation to remove
their pancreatic tumour, which is
currently the most effective way
to treat pancreatic cancer.
OncoSil™ is made with
Microparticles that are a
combination of silicon and
radioactive phosphorus, which
are injected as a suspension
directly into a pancreatic tumour.
Implantation of the device is
straightforward and involves the
use of an endoscope. Using real
time imaging, a needle is guided
through the endoscope to the
tumour and OncoSil™ is injected
directly into the cancer while the
patient is sedated. The procedure
typically takes less than 30 minutes
and most patients are able to leave
the hospital the same day.
OncoSil™ is used in combination
with modern chemotherapy and
aims to provide local tumour
control and may have an impact
on reducing cancer symptoms.
It may also be able to convert
certain patients by shrinking
tumours into an operative
state to provide a potentially
curative option.
Recent data from the global
PanCO trial has been positive,
with median Overall Survival
presented for the first time at the
United States premier oncology
meeting, the American Society of
Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in 2019.
Median overall survival was 16
months after using the OncoSil™
device in combination with modern
chemotherapy. This is comparable
to, and in many cases, surpasses
that of the best available published
literature in the patient population.

Introduction
Results
OncoSil Medical Ltd (Sydney, Australia) have a novel therapeutic approach to
treating inoperable primary pancreatic cancers by injecting the tumour directly
with particles of silicon impregnated with phosphorus-32 (32P), “OncoSil”.
The OncoSil particles in solution are administered via an endoscopic
procedure with ultrasound guidance. Typical amounts required for treatment
are of the order of tens of MBqs with 40 MBq being thought to be a typical
dose (1).

The considerable high energy bremsstrahlung photons produced presents a
dichotomy in terms of radiation protection and imaging. The question of the
exposure levels of treating physicians in close proximity to the OncoSil
radiation source has been raised.
After an implantation procedure, it is highly desirable
to be able to measure the distribution of implanted
radioactive microspheres (1). Imaging can be used to
confirm appropriate implantation of the therapy as well
as being potentially quantifiable to be used in
dosimetric analysis of surrounding tissues assuming no
redistribution of the microspheres (2). However, the
lack of radiation emitted from the nucleus in the form
of gamma rays or positrons makes imaging of 32P
challenging.

10 µSv.hr-1 and that from a typical treatment of 40 MBq in-vivo is 6.4 µSv.hr-1. A
caregiver would need to stand at the side of a patient closest to the implanted
OncoSil microspheres in the pancreas, in close proximity, for 100 hours to

The PHA spectrum acquired on the gamma camera showed that the majority of
photons were below 150 keV, however there was an appreciable tail extending
beyond 200 keV. The imaging window was thus set to 50-100 keV. Successful
imaging has been obtained in the currently active clinical trial.

image from a patient treated with OncoSil on the currently active trial.
Conclusions
The exposure of staff in close proximity to the OncoSil radiation source during
treatment is very small based on these phantom measurements, however, while the
exposure rates that we have measured are indicative, actual values may be higher or
lower depending on the operator and dose used. Electronic personal dosimeters
which provide an instantaneous read-out would be a suitable option. Similarly,
exposure of nuclear medicine staff involved in the dose preparation (which has not
been measured here) should also be considered. Acceptable image quality of [32P]-
OncoSil has been demonstrated on an unmodified, conventional gamma camera
using medium energy collimation. The use of a more sophisticated reconstruction
algorithm could improve both image quality and qualitative accuracy further,
although,
the ultimate quantification potentially achievable when imaging
bremsstrahlung radiation remains questionable.

Surgical Resection with curative intent
• Ten implanted patients underwent surgical resection by Whipple procedure.
– 20% resection rate in the ITT population.
– 23.8% resection rate in the PP population.
• 9 patients received concomitant GNP and 1 patient received FFX.
• Resections took place from 70 to 267 days post-implantation.
• Histopathological assessment confirmed R0 surgical margin status in
8 patients and R1 status in 2 patients.
Conclusions
The PanCO study demonstrates:
• Evidence of acceptable local tumour control (RECIST; tumour volume,
PET) with OncoSil™ and chemotherapy, with potential for downstaging
to resectability;
• Promising preliminary survival estimate – median OS = 16 months;
• A satisfactory safety profile when OncoSil™ is combined with
contemporary chemotherapy;
• Confirmation of the feasibility of EUS-directed implantation.
The PanCO study results justify future studies to further develop
the use of the OncoSil™ device in PDAC.

Compassionate Access Program
Royal Adelaide Hospital gives
patients compassionate access
to OncoSil™
Pancreatic cancer is one of the
most common cancers worldwide
and is the fifth most common
cause of cancer death.
Its symptoms include severe pain,
nausea and jaundice, but they
are often unnoticed until the
cancer has metastasised.
Current standards of care,
such as chemotherapy, often
have limited effectiveness
and can be toxic to patients.
While the OncoSil™ device can
treat patients with early-stage
pancreatic cancer, OncoSil
believes it has a humanitarian duty
to offer the treatment to patients
who have more advanced cases
of this deadly disease.
Associate Professor Dylan
Bartholomeusz, Head of Nuclear
Medicine at the hospital, says the
compassionate access program is
important for pancreatic patients,
given the limited effectiveness
of existing treatments.
The Royal Adelaide Hospital,
a leading pancreatic cancer
centre and one of the trial sites
for OncoSilTM PanCO trial, provides
compassionate access through
the TGA Special Access Scheme
(SAS) to the Oncosil™ device for
patients with locally advanced
pancreatic cancer.
“ In a clinical sense, pancreatic
cancer has a very poor outcome.
Usually, patients are diagnosed
quite late, so the survival rate is
low. When it comes to patients
with late stages of the disease,
no treatment has had a real
impact so far,” he says.

“ Patients in the compassionate
use program were all referred
to use OncoSil™ by their
Oncologists, and come from all
over Adelaide. Pancreatic cancer
has always had a very poor
prognosis, so we’re pleased to
be able to provide better patient
outcomes for this deadly disease.”
However, Professor
Bartholomeusz says results
from the compassionate access
program, where patients are
implanted with the OncoSil™
device in conjunction with
systemic chemotherapy, have
been encouraging.
“ We’ve treated five patients in
the last six months under the
TGA Special Access Scheme
and the results have been
promising. All the patients had
advanced pancreatic cancer.
Patients treated have a reduction
in their cancer symptoms.”
No disruption for patients
Professor Nam Nguyen, a
Gastroenterologist specialising
in pancreatic cancer at the
hospital, says another benefit
of the OncoSil™ treatment is
that it does not interrupt patients’
chemotherapy.
“ This treatment is essentially an
injection, and this is important
for patients because it doesn’t
require them to take special
precautions, nor does it impact
their chemotherapy,” Professor
Nguyen says.
“ Like the patients in the PanCO
trial, all the patients who have
used OncoSil™ under
compassionate use left the
clinic the same day. With other
treatments, patients often have
to be off chemotherapy for a week
or so, but with this technique,
there is no disruption.”
Professor Nguyen says the Royal
Adelaide Hospital is a centre of
excellence for pancreatic cancer
treatment, and access to OncoSil™,
an Australian therapy, enables it
to continue developing expertise
in this area.
Pancreatic cancer is difficult
to detect because there are
few symptoms. Treatments
often have poor outcomes, but
targeted treatments, such as
OncoSil which ‘get in there’
and treat the primary cancer,
are showing promise.

Review of operations
The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $8,566,731 (30 June 2018: $8,539,542).
OncoSil Medical Limited is an Australian-based and ASX listed medical device company focused on localised treatments
for patients with pancreatic and liver cancer. The Group’s lead product, OncoSil™, is a first in class medical device
comprising microparticles containing Phosphorous-32 (P-32), a pure beta-emitter radioisotope, implanted directly into a
patient’s pancreatic tumours via an endoscopic ultrasound. This treatment, known as brachytherapy, is intended to deliver
more concentrated and localised radiation.
Over the past twelve months, the Group’s focus has been to advance and complete its global pancreatic clinical study,
PanCO, and are using this data to support its CE Mark application for the OncoSil™ device in the European Union. The
Group notes the initial unfavourable assessment from the Notified Body (The British Standards Institution "BSI") for the
application and has since submitted a formal response using the positive Overall Survival dataset from the PanCo study.
The Group has made progress on its mission in FY19, including:
●
●
Successful completion of patient recruitment for the PanCO study across Australia, UK and Belgium;
Successful completion of patient recruitment for the US OncoPaC-1 clinical study, with all patients enrolled in the
study successfully implanted with the OncoSil™ device;
Appointed IQVIA as European Union Market Access and Remuneration Advisor;
Reported positive Interim Analysis of PanCo study with strong clinical performance recorded across multiple metrics;
Reported positive Overall Survival data for the PanCO study, and presented this at the American Society of Clinical

Directors' report
30 June 2019
Clinical – Completed patient recruitment for global PanCO study and positive study data
●
●
In September 2018, the Group reported the successful completion of patient enrolment for the PanCO study across all
participating sites in Australia, the UK and Belgium – with 50 patients enrolled in total. The Group also reported highly
encouraging results from the Interim Analysis which showed that:
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) of 100% at Week 8 in the per protocol population;
- Local Disease Control Rate (LDCR) of 88% at Week 16 in the implanted population;
- Strong evidence of target tumour regression, with statistically significant, and in some cases, substantial volumetric
reduction; and
- Well tolerated and reassuring safety profile confirmed by independent Safety Review Committee.
Positive Overall Survival data from the PanCo study was presented at the (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June 2019
which showed:
- Medical overall survival of 16 months – given the accepted population median Overall Survival estimates of patients
with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is only 9-11 months, this result is comparable to, and in many cases
surpasses, that of the best available published literature in the LAPC population;
- Encouraging rate of surgical resection with curative intent of 23.8% with a R0 margin status of 80%;
- LDCR at 16 weeks was 90.5%, a positive and important independent prognostic factor for the Overall Survival of
patients;
- A satisfactory safety profile when OncoSil™ is combined with contemporary chemotherapy; and
- Confirmation of the feasibility of EUS directed implantation.
●
US FDA confirmed that the PanCo study (ex-US) safety data met IDE requirements and that OncoSil could proceed
with to a full US pivotal study without further US patient data.
●
The Group’s OncoPaC-1 clinical study successfully completed recruitment, with nine patients successfully implanted.
Regulatory – OncoSil provides detailed response to BSI and COC
●
●
●
While outside the financial year, on 30 July 2019, OncoSil submitted a comprehensive response to questions from the
British Standards Institute (BSI) and its Clinical Oversight Committee (COC) regarding the certification of the
OncoSil™ device based on the positive results of the PanCO study;
The response was prepared and developed with the support of leading medical experts and enables a treatment
comparison that demonstrates the OncoSil™ device provides statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefits
over and above chemotherapy alone for patients with unresectable LAPC; and
OncoSil will keep shareholders informed of developments with respect to the review and the progress of the CE
Marking determination.
Corporate – Revised business plan
●
While OncoSil awaits the outcome of the CE Marking decision, the Group will operate under a revised business plan
to target a reduction in annualised cost base through reduced operating expenditure and R&D expenditure. The
Group has also put a pause on any new clinical trial and study activities until certainty around the CE Marking is
achieved.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the

Likely developments and expected results of operations
The Company continues to progress towards achieving a CE Mark for our OncoSil™ device which will enable future
commercial sales in the European Union, Australia/New Zealand and certain parts of Asia. When a CE Marking
determination is made, the Company would be committed to a post marketing surveillance program, the nature and costs
associated are yet to be determined. In addition, the Global Pivotal OncPac-1 Clinical Study continues, aimed at supporting
a Pre Marketing application in the United States in future years. There can be no guarantees that in the future we will
achieve these regulatory approvals, or on the basis sought by the Company, and there are no guarantees of the rate of
enrolment of the OncPac-1 Clinical Study or the outcome of clinical results. Manufacturing capabilities, supply chain and
sales and marketing infrastructure will continue to be progressed to support both planned commercial and clinical activities.
Environmental regulation
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, details the key management personnel ('KMP') remuneration
arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
KMP 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
The objective of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects each
person's duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of
the highest quality. 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; and
transparency.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee ('NRC') 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.
14
6
OncoSil Medical Ltd
Directors' report
30 June 2019
The NRC has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the
reward strategy of the Group.
The Board have considered that the reward framework is designed to align to 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; and
attracting and retaining high calibre executives.
●
Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:
●
rewarding executives for Group and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate
benchmarks;
aligning the interests of executives with those of shareholders;
linking reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and
ensuring total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
●
●
●
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 NRC. The NRC 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 are also entitled to government statutory superannuation guarantee contribution. They may also
be granted shares, aligning their interests with those of the shareholders.
ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors' remuneration be determined periodically by a general
meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 26 November 2015, where the
shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate director's fees payable to non-executive directors of $500,000.
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.
Structure
Executive directors are contracted to the Group either on a consultancy basis with remuneration and terms stipulated in
individual consultancy arrangements or pursuant to an employment contract with remuneration and terms stipulated in
individual employment agreements.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the
NRC based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market
remuneration.
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a variety of forms including cash and fringe
benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be
optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group.

Directors’ report cont.

Directors' report
30 June 2019
The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdle
of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators
('KPI's') being achieved. In particular, all executive directors and other KMP may be entitled to annual bonuses payable
upon the achievement of annual corporate or profitability measures. The Group seeks to emphasise payment for results
through providing various cash bonus reward schemes, specifically the incorporation of incentive payments based on
achievement of approved targets.
The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave and share-based payments. Limited recourse loans are awarded
to executives in order for the executive to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company under the OncoSil Employee
Share Plan. These share will vest upon satisfaction of long-term KPI's as agreed with the executive, measured over terms
varying from three to five years. These KPI's include, but are not limited to, an increase in shareholders’ value, revenue
targets or meeting regulatory and clinical measures. The NRC 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 for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the Group. A portion of cash bonus and
incentive payments are dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion of the cash
bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the NRC. Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for
details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five years.
Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial year ended 30 June 2018, the Group, through the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, engaged
Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Ltd, remuneration consultants, to review its existing remuneration policies and provide
recommendations on how to improve both the STI and LTI programs. This has resulted in the production of a remuneration
benchmarking report for the use of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and the adjustment of salaries for the
executives and non-executive directors by CPI or 2% effective 1 July 2018. In addition, the Group will initiate an annual
long term incentive equity grant under the existing Employee Loan Share Scheme as part of the executives LTI component
of remuneration. Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Ltd was paid $26,000 for these services. No consultants were used
during the financial year ended 30 June 2019 as the position of the Board remained consistent with the previous year.
An agreed set of protocols were put in place to ensure that the remuneration recommendations would be free from undue
influence from key management personnel. These protocols include requiring that the consultant not directly communicate
with affected key management personnel and that the consultant not provide any information relating to the outcome of the
engagement directly with the affected key management personnel. The Board is also required to make inquiries of the
consultant's processes at the conclusion of the engagement to ensure that they are satisfied that any recommendations
made have been free from undue influence. The Board is satisfied that these protocols were followed and as such there
was no undue influence.
Voting and comments made at the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the 2018 AGM, less than 1% voted against the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2018.
The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

OncoSil Medical
Annual Report 2019
Notes to the financial statements
OncoSil Medical Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover OncoSil Medical Ltd as a Group consisting of OncoSil Medical Ltd (the 'Company' or 'parent
entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (the 'Group'). The financial statements are presented
in Australian dollars, which is OncoSil Medical Ltd's functional and presentation currency.
OncoSil Medical Ltd is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered
office and principal place of business is:
Suite 402, Level 4
50 Berry Street
North Sydney NSW 2060
A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is
not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 23 August 2019. The
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective
notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period, being AASB 9 'Financial
Instruments' and 'AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers'.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models
for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely
principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held
within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on
specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other
financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable
election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent
consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a
financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or
eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard
requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it
would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the
accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an 'expected
credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the
credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL
method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected
loss allowance is available. There was no impact on the financial statements as the main financial assets recognised
represent cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables that do not carry a significant financing component and involve
a single cash flow representing the repayment of principal, which in the case of trade receivables is the transaction price.
Both asset classes will continue to be measured at face value. Other financial asset classes are not material to the Group.
Financial liabilities of the Group are not impacted as the Group does not carry them at fair value.

OncoSil Medical Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue
recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a
measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting
policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with
customers are presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a
receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Customer
acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over
the contract period. Due to the nature of the income the Group received, being mainly the research and development tax
incentive and interest received from cash deposits, there is no impact under this standard in the financial statements.
Impact of adoption
AASB 9 and AASB 15 were adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such comparatives have not been
restated. The impact of adoption on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2018 was $nil.
There has been no impact on the financial statements on the adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 15.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as
appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the 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 3.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only.
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 21.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of OncoSil Medical Ltd as at
30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. OncoSil Medical Ltd and its subsidiaries together
are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its 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.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest,
without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration
transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity
attributable to the parent.

OncoSil Medical Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-
controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group
recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain
or loss in profit or loss.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is OncoSil Medical Ltd's functional and presentation
currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average
exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the
Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months
after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle
a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held
primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities
are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Plant and equipment
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
over their expected useful lives as follows:
Office equipment 3-15 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting
date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the
Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the
risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively
retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is
probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or
sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured
reliably.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries and other employee benefits expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the
reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Long-term employee benefits
Employee benefits not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 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
high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future
cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part
of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of
financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
Comparatives
Certain comparatives in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, where necessary, have been
reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Group's
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group,
are set out below.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB
117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions,
a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the
unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12
months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an
accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit
or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease
prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or
dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the
leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance
costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when
compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and
Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit
or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into
both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting,
the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt this standard from 1
July 2019.
If AASB 16 was implemented by the Group as at 30 June 2019, the impact would be an increase in assets and
corresponding increase in liabilities of $212,891. This represents the net present value of all estimated office lease
payments. Under the same lease assumptions, the Group expects a lease expense of $127,734 in the year ending 30
June 2020 (comparatively, an expense of $131,319 would be expected under the current accounting methodologies being
applied).
New Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
A revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting has been issued by the AASB and is applicable for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. This release impacts for-profit private sector entities that have
public accountability that are required by legislation to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and other for-profit
entities that voluntarily elect to apply the Conceptual Framework. Phase 2 of the framework is yet to be released which will
impact for-profit private sector entities. The application of new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on
measurement will result in amendments to several accounting standards. The issue of AASB 2019-1 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework, also applicable from 1 January 2020,
includes such amendments. Where the Group has relied on the conceptual framework in determining its accounting
policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting Standards, the
Group may need to revisit such policies.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates
and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events,
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will
seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing
a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next
financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes model taking
into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Research and development tax incentive
The Group measures the research and development tax incentive ('RDTI') based on the preparation of the income tax
return for the year therefore assumptions and judgement are involved to determine whether some costs are appropriated to
RDTI.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Note 4. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group operates in one segment being the device development for new medical treatments. This is based on the
internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision
Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of
operating segments.
The information reported to the CODM is on at least a monthly basis. The financial information presented in these financial
statements are the same as that presented to the CODM.

Accounting policy for revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably
measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Research and development tax incentive
The research and development tax incentive ('RDTI') represents a refundable tax offset that is available on eligible
research and development expenditure incurred by the Group. The RDTI is considered to be a form of government
assistance and the accounting policy adopted is analogous to accounting for government grants.
RDTI are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received and the
Group will comply with all attached conditions.
RDTI relating to expenses are recognised as incurred at the point of time in profit or loss.
Dividends
Dividend revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Other income
Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Interest
Interest 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 exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

The above potential tax benefit for tax losses has not been recognised in the statement of financial position. These tax
losses can only be utilised in the future if the continuity of ownership test is passed, or failing that, the same business test
is passed.
Accounting policy for income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

OncoSil Medical Ltd
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019
Note 7. Income tax (continued)
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.

Note 12. Equity - issued capital (continued)
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the Company in
proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the
Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each
share shall have one vote.
Share buy-back
There is no current on-market share buy-back.
Capital risk management
The Group's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to
sustain future development of the business. Given the state of the Group's development there are no formal targets set for
return 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.
The Group is not subject to any financing arrangements covenants or externally imposed capital requirements.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2018 Annual Report.
Accounting policy for issued capital
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.

Note 15. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall
risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse
effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to
which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and ageing analysis for credit
risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors
('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates financial risks within the Group's operating units. Finance
reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk.
Price risk
The Group was exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading over the medium to long term in the
comparative period. Such risk was managed through diversification of investments across industries and geographical
locations.
Interest rate risk
The Group's main interest rate risk arises from cash at bank and short term deposits. The policy is to maintain a mix of
fixed and floating rate deposits.
The carrying value of the Group's cash and cash equivalents at the reporting date, subject to interest rate risk are detailed
in note 8. The effect a 100 (2018: 100) basis point interest rate change is detailed below. The method used to arrive at the
possible change in basis points was based on the analysis of the average change of the Reserve Bank of Australia ('RBA')
monthly issued cash rate over the past five years.

Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Group. 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 credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter party is a bank with high credit rating.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash
equivalents) 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 Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of finance
leases and equity funding.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have
been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the
financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining
contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

targeted brachytherapy product for the treatment of cancer ('the Product') under a licence agreement from pSiMedica.
pSiMedica has granted to OncoSil UK an exclusive world-wide royalty-bearing license for the term of the pSiMedica
Transaction (with limited rights to sub-license) under the Licensed Patents solely to make, use, sell, offer to sell and import
the Product in the field of therapy in human neoplastic disease (cancer). Key terms of the license agreement have been
summarised below:
●
●
OncoSil UK is required to make a payment of up to US$100,000 to pSiMedica annually to support existing patents;
and
OncoSil UK is required to make the following payments for patents and subject to the Product completing positive
clinical trials and becoming registered for sale.
(i) During the term of the licence, 8% of future net sales (future sales which cannot be guaranteed) of the Product or any
other product protected by the rights arising from the Assigned Patents (if sold by OncoSil UK or its affiliates) and services
performed using the Product or such other products, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis. Only half of
this payment must be made whenever approved generic competitor products derived from the Product maintain at least a
20% world-wide market share of sales, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis.
(ii) 20% of any form of consideration, payments, royalties, third party net sales income and other payments received from
third party licensing deals and various other agreements with third parties in relation to the Product or any other product
protected by the rights arising from the Assigned Patents, for the term of the pSiMedica licence, on a product-by-product
and country-by-country basis.
(iii) Potential milestone payments based only upon the Product being a commercial success, which cannot be guaranteed
now or in the future (ranging from US$1,000,000 to US$5,000,000) upon:
- OncoSil UK, its affiliates and any of OncoSil UK's third party transferees together potentially achieving US$5,000,000
aggregate net sales of the Product and any other product protected by the rights arising from the Assigned Patents, for (i)
an indication and (ii) a second indication;
- aggregate net sales of the Product and any other product protected by the rights arising from the Assigned Patents, paid
to OncoSil UK, its affiliates and third party transferees in a calendar year of US$20,000,000 or more; and
- aggregate net sales of the Product and any other product protected by the rights arising from the Assigned Patents, paid
to OncoSil UK, its affiliates and third party transferees in a calendar year of US$100,000,000 or more.
Termination of licence agreement
Unless terminated early for reasons such as a material breach, or by pSiMedica due to a patent challenge being brought
against pSiMedica in certain circumstances (including by OncoSil UK), the term of the licence for the Licensed Patents and
OncoSil UK's rights to exploit the product and any other products arising from the Assigned Patents, remain in effect on a
country-by-country and product-by-product basis, until the later to occur of:
●
●
the date on which the product or any other product protected by the rights arising from the Assigned Patents in such
country is no longer covered or protected by a potential claim of the Licensed Patents or the Assigned Patents in such
country; and
ten years from the date of first commercial sale of a product or any other product protected by the rights arising from
the Assigned Patents in such country.
In addition, if OncoSil UK reasonably forms the view that it is not capable of commercialising OncoSil™, OncoSil UK shall
have the right to terminate the license agreement by giving 60 days prior written notice to pSiMedica.
The directors are not aware of any other commitments or contingencies as at 30 June 2019.

Accounting policy for earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of OncoSil Medical Ltd, excluding
any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the
weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential
ordinary shares.

Note 25. Share-based payments
The Group's Employee Share Plan (‘ESP’) is designed as an incentive for senior managers and above. Under the plan,
participants are granted shares which only vest if certain performance standards are met. The issue price is fully financed
by a limited recourse loan provided by the Group. Dividends are for the benefit of the employee. Employees are not
permitted to deal in the shares until the limited recourse loan has been repaid. Shares issued under the ESP are
accounted for in a similar manner as options. There are no cash settlement alternatives.
The following shares were on issue under the ESP at reporting date and held as security against limited recourse loan
arrangements:

Terms of limited recourse loan arrangement
The loans issued are limited recourse such that on the repayment date the repayment obligation under the loan will be
limited to the lesser of:
(a) the outstanding balance of the loan; and
(b) the market value of the loan shares on that date.
In addition, where the participant has elected for the loan shares to be provided to the Company in full satisfaction of the
loan, the Company must accept the loan shares as full settlement of the repayment obligation under the loan.
The total value of loans outstanding under the Employee Share Plan at reporting date was $10,994,000 (2018:
$10,860,000).
The weighted average remaining contractual life of loan shares outstanding at the end of the financial year was 18 months
(2018: 27 months).
Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for
the rendering of services.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined
using the 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 do not determine whether
the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No 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.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are
satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made.
An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2019
Note 25. Share-based payments (continued)
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a
cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting
period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, they are treated as if they had vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and
new award is treated as if they were a modification.
Note 26. Events after the reporting period
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the
Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of
OncoSil Medical Ltd
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of OncoSil Medical Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of
cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, 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

Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the

fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Independent Auditor’s Report
OncoSil Medical Ltd
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.
Key Audit Matter
How we addressed the Key Audit Matter
Research and Development Tax Incentive
Refer to Note 3 and Note 5
Under the Research and Development (R&D)
Tax Incentive scheme, the Group is entitled to
receive a 43.5% refundable tax offset of eligible
expenditure if its turnover is less than $20 million
per annum provided it is not controlled by the
income tax exempt entities.
The R&D plan is filed with AusIndustry in the
following financial year, and based on this filing,
the Group receives the incentive in cash. The
Group prepared an estimate of its total R&D
expenditure to determine the potential claim
under the R&D tax incentive legislation.
As at 30 June 2019, the Group had an
estimated claim of $3.8 million relating to the
year ended 30 June 2019.
The R&D tax incentive is a key audit matter due
to the size of the balance and because
interpretation of the R&D tax legislation is
required by the Group to assess the eligibility of
the R&D expenditure under the scheme.
We performed the following key procedures:
• Agreed the estimate made in previous year
to the amount of cash received after
lodgement of the R&D tax claim.
• Compared the nature of R&D expenditure
included in the current year estimate to the
prior year estimate.
• Tested a sample of R&D expenses for
eligibility under the R&D Tax Incentive
scheme.
• Compared the amount of eligible
expenditures used to calculate the estimate
to the expenditure recorded in the general
ledger.
•
Inspected copies of relevant documents
lodged with AusIndustry and the ATO
related to historic claims.
• Reviewed the related financial statement
disclosures.

Independent Auditor’s Report
OncoSil Medical Ltd
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
controls.

Independent Auditor’s Report
OncoSil Medical Ltd
• Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
•
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
•
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the group financial report. The
auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. The
auditor remains solely responsible for the audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we
identify during the audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in the auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in the auditor’s report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
