Introduction

OncoSil Medical is a global medical  
device company focused on Interventional 
Oncology. Our mission is to improve  the 
outcomes for people living with cancer 
 by utilising the selected and targeted 
intratumoural placement of Phosphorous-32  
(³²P) Microparticles in combination  
with chemotherapy. 

OncoSil™ is our brachytherapy device.  
Its targeted approach enables healthcare 
professionals to deliver a greater radiation 
dose directly into the tumour compared  to 
external beam radiotherapy, while  sparing 
surrounding critical organs¹.

We believe in our technology  and its ability 
to have a truly positive impact in Oncology.

Chairman’s letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the OncoSil Medical Board, it gives me great pleasure to present our 2020-2021 Annual Report for OncoSil 
Medical.

The year has been marked by signifi cant changes to our executive management team as we build capability, given 
we now have CE mark approval. We welcomed Mr Nigel Lange as Chief Executive Offi  cer and Managing Director of the 
Company, replacing Mr Daniel Kenny and bringing over 30 years of experience in the medical devices and pharmaceutical 
industries. Prior to joining us as President EMEA in mid-2020, Nigel was Chief Executive Offi  cer of Sirtex Medical’s 
European business and directly oversaw the expansion of its brachytherapy device to over 300 centres across Europe and 
the Middle East. We look forward to enjoying similar success under his leadership.

Nigel’s key appointments include: Chief Medical Offi  cer (Dr. Ralph Peters), Global Head of Medical Aff airs (David Turner), 
Director of Access, Reimbursement, Economics and Assessment EMEA (Olaf Michaelsen) and Director Global Clinical 
Aff airs (Henk Tissing). OncoSil has a very experienced team for commercialising our technology, including the skills 
relevant to obtaining public reimbursement. 

With the change in CEO now implemented, it was an appropriate time to renew the Board, and we were pleased to 
appoint Mr Otto Buttula to the Board and becoming Chairman-Elect until I step down as Chair at this year’s AGM. Mr. 
Buttula brings sectorial experience in fi nance and technology as well as Board experience in biotechnology. It has been 
an honour to serve as your Chairman and I wish the company every success. As Mr Buttula shares a similar skill set, 
Mr Mike Bassett has also decided to step down from the board at the AGM, providing a further opportunity to add new 
board members with additional skills.

The business has hit several important commercial milestones throughout the year. In October 2020 we achieved fi rst 
revenues when a patient in New Zealand was implanted with the OncoSil™ device, marking a key step towards becoming 
a revenue generating medical device company. The success of this milestone has been somewhat muted by the lingering 
eff ects of COVID-19, which have caused disruptions and delays to OncoSil’s global sales strategy and planned product 
launch. A post-COVID return to normality will see increased patient screening for the OncoSil™ device.

Despite COVID-19 headwinds, we continue to push forward key support workstreams such as the OSPREY registry and 
obtaining regulatory approval in Malaysia, Switzerland, Turkey, Israel and Hong Kong this year. We have also been 
building on our Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) application, which if successful will allow OncoSil to market and 
sell its device in the US for the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma, a form of bile duct cancer. We also provided 
an update on further positive results from our PanCO trial, including fi ndings that treatment with the OncoSil™ device 
has the potential to ‘convert’ patients from being initially inoperable to a surgically operable state. We are continually 
working to develop a clinical pathway to support public reimbursement initiatives and treatment adoption, all critical to 
OncoSil’s long-term growth plans.

Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Chief Executive Offi  cer, 
Nigel Lange, my fellow Board directors and the entire OncoSil management team for their outstanding contribution. 
We look forward to the coming year and as we continue to make a diff erence through our critical mission 
of transforming the prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Sincerely 

Dr Chris Roberts, AO
Chairman – OncoSil Medical Limited

CEO’s Report

CEO’s Report

In 2021, OncoSil Medical pushed forward with commercialisation plans for our lead device, OncoSil™. Progress has been 
made on several fronts including the strengthening of our leadership team. The company is now in a stronger position to 
develop and execute on its strategic objectives related to the further clinical development of the technology.  This will allow 
for advancement of the commercial objectives as it serves to develop a body of evidence in support of public reimbursement 
in major targeted markets. Furthermore, the Company has enjoyed numerous regulatory milestones over the past year 
marking our continued eff orts in bringing the OncoSil™ device to market. 

Team

A key priority in 2021 was to strengthen our leadership team and position the Company with the best possible talent with 
solid track records in the oncologic space. Following my own appointment as CEO in January 2021, we have built out our 
senior leadership team with several key hires including Chief Medical Offi  cer (Dr. Ralph Peters), Global Head of Medical 
Aff airs (David Turner), Director of Access, Reimbursement, Economics and Assessment EMEA (Olaf Michaelsen) and Director 
Global Clinical Aff airs (Henk Tissing). The collective years of commercial and clinical experience shared between these key 
hires will be invaluable to OncoSil as we progress our global commercialisation strategy. 

EMEA and APAC

In October 2020, OncoSil Medical took its fi rst step towards becoming a revenue generating company by achieving fi rst 
sales with a patient from New Zealand. Despite this signifi cant achievement, COVID-19 continued to disrupt our wider 
commercialisation strategy and site activation eff orts as hospitals prioritised their pandemic response resulting in a 
signifi cant reduction in patient screening. In the face of further COVID-19 disruptions, The UK has continued to progress 
through the fi nal stages of onboarding and training further hospitals that have received ethics approval from the Health 
Research Authority (HRA) and the Research Ethics Committee (REC). Our regulatory team has been successful at receiving 
regulatory clearance in Malaysia, Switzerland, Turkey, Israel and Hong Kong during the year.  

United States

OncoSil has been progressing the submission for a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) to the US Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) to use the OncoSil™ device in the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). Despite 
the challenges arising from COVID delaying the close-out of the PanCO study, the Company has made progress over the 
past year with the HDE submission. In addition, having received the breakthrough designation in LAPC (locally advanced 
pancreatic cancer) for the OncoSil™ device, the Company has been able to dialogue with and seek guidance from the US FDA 
on its clinical development strategy to ensure congruence with the agency’s expectations.   

Financial Position

As of 30 June 2021, OncoSil Medical had a cash balance of $12.2 million. Over the year, 
the Company’s net cash used in operations was $8.8 million, with $2.9 million invested 
in R&D activities. Finally, we appreciate that the path to commercialisation is not simple 
or direct and would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support 
of our Company. I look forward to building on our achievements in 2021 and 
entering an exciting new stage for growth in 2022 with our device and ultimately 
achieving our goal of improving patient outcomes in pancreatic cancer. 

Sincerely,

Nigel Lange
Chief Executive Offi  cer

Forging partnerships to make  an impact

At OncoSil Medical, we are committed to making a meaningful 
diff erence for patients in what is often called the silent killer.

OncoSil™, our Brachytherapy device is designed to target the tumour directly, by delivering 100 Gy over 81 days, whist 
sparing damage to healthy tissue. OncoSil™ is intended to be used in combination with chemotherapy.

Our current data  has shown that the OncoSil™ device, when used in conjunction with chemotherapy, has resulted in the 
downstaging of patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer to resection with curative intent.1

Partnering with key healthcare professionals is key to enabling access to, and adoption of, our technology  can work to 
redefi ne the treatment options for such patients.

An interview  with Dr Zarni Win

Chief of Service Nuclear Medicine  & Consultant Radiologist at The London Clinic, UK. 
UK Oncological therapies  in Nuclear Medicine and the future  of delivering these therapies.

Q:  The delivery of oncological medicine in nuclear 

Q:  What does nuclear medicine bring to the oncological

physician, how do you see this changing in the future? 

space that the other specialities do not?

A:  I think the direct comparison is with oncology 

A:  Within the wider community of medicine, the fi eld 

of radionuclide therapy is a very new and innovative 
therapy even though it has been around for over half 
a century but the delivery of this type of therapy such 
as OncoSil™, is very diff erent to what we have been 
doing in the past. The OncoSil™ device is very diff erent 
compared to recent therapies like selective internal 
radiation which is delivered through the artery for 
liver cancer. OncoSil™ is delivered directly into the 
tumour which is ground-breaking. It has been done 
experimentally, but nothing of the sort has been 
performed and taken to the commercial space and 
passing through the regulatory phases. This is quite 
an exciting fi eld of nuclear medicine mainly because 
companies like OncoSil and other big companies are 
coming into the space of nuclear medicine therapy 
which has never happened before, and that is really 
driving forward this fi eld of radionuclide therapy and 
I think this will be big within the next 5-10-15 years.

radiotherapy, whereas the radiotherapist is shooting 
in radiation externally from a machine through the 
body to where the cancer is. The dose or the activity is 
limited because it damages the tissues surrounding the 
tumour so you will always be limited by the maximum 
dose of radiation you can deliver with external beam 
radiotherapy, whether that is super precise or not. 
Nuclear medicine is way more targeted compared 
to external beam radiotherapy and it can deliver 
signifi cantly higher targeted radiation to the tumour. 
So that is the biggest advantage of radionuclide 
therapy compared to other parts of medicine. Nuclear 
medicine is also a bridge to newer immunotherapy, 
chemotherapies and radiotherapies where you can 
target as accurately as you can with immunotherapy 
but deliver higher doses compared to external beam.

Q:  What do you think the PanCO data could mean in the 
future for patients with unresectable locally advanced 
pancreatic cancer?

A:  I fi nd its quite signifi cant and what’s signifi cant is 

the doubling of downstaging and potential curative 
surgery to almost 1 in 4 patients from only 12% 
with standard therapy.

Q:  How do you feel about being able to off er this new 

treatment to patients?

A:  It’s very exciting and fi lls me with optimism especially 
as there has not been any signifi cant development 
for pancreatic patients for over a decade, so OncoSil™ 
to me off ers the patients something new and give my 
patients a chance undergo potential curative surgery.

Investing in excellence
and expertise

Our continuing focus upon the treatment of Pancreatic 
Cancer as an area of unmet need enabled us to reach a 
major milestone in 2020, when the OncoSil™ device achieved 
CE Marking Approval. This event fell at an unmistakably 
remarkable time, as the world was impacted by the rapid 
and escalating onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The overall impact of this time has been and will continue 
to be catastrophic and life limiting for patients as the 
cancer continuum experiences interruption and delays to 
screening, diagnosis and treatment.1,2 This has brought us 
to a critical infl ection point – our conclusion has been that 
companies who act with purpose will have impact beyond 
this moment and create lasting change.

As the events of COVID-19 unfolded, we knew that we 
needed to press ahead in any event, and took bold steps 
to expand the global OncoSil Medical team, bringing in 
expertise to really accelerate our clinical and commercial 
activities and positioning us to act smarter, faster and 
more effi  ciency as the wider community becomes 
vaccinated and lockdowns begin to ease.

We have carefully identifi ed and invested in the most 
talented people in our industry, specifi cally in people 
with expertise in radionuclide microparticles for cancer 
treatment and who have existing and long-standing 
relationships with our key industry and internal 
stakeholders. Over the past year, we have grown the team 
to start the commercialisation process across Europe with 
a total of 9 team members operating in 5 key markets. 
As the majority of the team has been intermittently in 
lockdown due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, they 
have had to adapt and work virtually in partnership with 
our stakeholders to take all necessary actions for site set-
up. This includes the preparation of the OSPREY registry, 
32P licence applications and training the multidisciplinary 
team on the necessities of the procedure all in 
preparation for the fi rst commercial patient cases.

We have carefully identifi ed 
and invested in the most
talented people in our industry, 
specifi cally in people with
expertise in radionuclide 
microparticles

Our new Marketing Director has launched a multifaceted 
strategy across virtual and in-person communication and 
events to engage the HCP community in thought-provoking 
clinical conversations that drive the utilisation of OncoSil™ 
for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer. There 
has been a shift towards creating more digital touch-points 
with customers and shifting investment in digital media 
and digital detailing to further strengthen our go-to-market 
model. As some degree of restricted access to hospitals and 
customers is likely to continue, this model will create an 
opportunity to engage physicians remotely.

Our Global Regulatory and Quality department 
has expanded over the last fi nancial year, principally 
to accommodate an ambitious schedule of regulatory 
submissions required for the OncoSil™ technology 
and to facilitate the post-market needs of the regulator. 
In addition to this, the regulatory landscape for medical 
device technology changes frequently and there is 
also a need to consider the future clinical strategy 
requirements impacting the company and hence resource 
the team accordingly. This included the need to meet 
new regulations in existing markets, as well as in future 
intended markets. The enhanced team includes skilled 
professionals with experience at a global level in medical 
device regulatory aff airs and quality. The team has a 
diverse background which includes experience in physics, 
nursing, law, business development and consultancy.

Our new Director of Global Clinical Aff airs has been actively 
meeting with national and international opinion leaders 
on the topic of pancreatic cancer to gain further insights 
on international and local needs and to put together a 
robust clinical development plan to combine not only our 
regulatory requirements in opening up new markets for 
expansion, but to also address the most important clinical 
outcome parameters the medical community is seeking 
to improve in this underserved disease. These are the fi rst 
steps towards a path for recognition in scientifi c guidelines 
as a research tool and to one day become an accepted 
standard treatment option for pancreatic cancer.

As we look towards the start of FY22, our position post 
pandemic is intended to be one of strength 
and preparedness.

Directors’ reportOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a delay of full commercial launch which was originally expected to occur this financial 

year (ended 30 June 2021). It is difficult to estimate the precise extent of the negative impact that the pandemic will have on 
the business moving forward. OncoSil Medical is an ASX-listed medical device company which has developed a breakthrough1-2 
implantable internal radiation (brachytherapy) device for patients with pancreatic and bile duct cancer. The OncoSil™ device has CE 

Marking approval for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer in combination with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy.

Throughout the year ended 30 June 2021, OncoSil continued to progress its commercialisation activities across Europe, US and 

Asia Pacific. Progress has been made on multiple fronts, including the strengthening of our leadership team which is now poised 

to advance the Company’s commercialisation and clinical pathways.

In Europe, OncoSil continues to undertake the necessary activities and approvals following CE Mark approval to enable 

commercialisation. This includes establishing the OSPREY patient registry, a post-marketing observational study required as part 

of the CE Marking Approval, as well as other necessary approvals which vary by hospital, state, country or region.

Outside of Europe, OncoSil achieved a significant milestone recording its first commercial sale with a patient being implanted 

with the OncoSil™ device in New Zealand. In the US, OncoSil continues to proactively engage with the U.S Food and Drug 

Administration (‘FDA’) regarding the Humanitarian Device Exemption (‘HDE’) submission. Having made the strategic decision to 

withdraw our application with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia, OncoSil continues to engage hospitals in 

the APAC regions where the OncoSil™ device is approved.

The key developments and other highlights for the 2021 financial year are as follows:

•  Strong leadership team in place with the appointment of Nigel Lange as CEO and other key hires consisting of Chief Medical 

Officer (Dr. Ralph Peters), Head of Medical Affairs (David Turner), Director of Access Reimbursement, Economics and 

Assessment (Olaf Michaelsen) and Director of Clinical Development (Henk Tissing).

•  First revenues achieved when the first commercially treated patient from New Zealand was implanted with the OncoSil™ 

device, marking the initial step towards becoming a revenue-generating medical devices company.

•  Additional regulatory clearance were achieved in several geographies, despite significant COVID-19 disruptions.

•  Patient Patient screening commenced at The London Clinic in the UK, and ethics approval from the Health Research Authority 
(HRA) and Research Ethics Committee (REC) granted for a further eight sites. OncoSil is progressing through the final stages of 

onboarding and training these sites.

•  Progress made on OncoSil Medical’s Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) application to the US Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) with respect to the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). The Company is working 

on providing the FDA with additional data involving a more recent cut-off point. The HDE will mark an important milestone 

in the Company’s commercialisation strategy if successful. 

•  Further positive results generated from the PanCO trial, where it was found that treatment with the OncoSil™ device has the 
potential to ‘convert’ some patients from an initially inoperable to a surgically operable state thus offers a potentially curative 
outcome with prolonged survival.

Financial position and performance

OncoSil had a cash balance of $12.2 million as at 30 June 2021. During the year, OncoSil made modest inaugural revenue from 

the sale of the OncoSil™ device of $213k in Australia and New Zealand.

Recognised income from the Research and Development tax incentive in 2021 was $1,077,202 compared to $2,763,475 in 2020, 

reflecting lower Research and Development expenses and a higher proportion of activities being directed towards  

commercial activities. 

Employee benefits expenses increased to $5,294,509 in 2021 compared to $3,539,643 in 2020 as OncoSil made key 

appointments in sales, reimbursement and clinical resources to assist in commercialisation.

Directors’ reportOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 2 December 2020, Mr Daniel Kenny was terminated as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr Nigel Lange was appointed 

as Chief Executive Officer on 21 January 2021. For the period 2 December 2020 through to 21 January 2021, Dr Chris Roberts AO acted 

in the role of Executive Chairman, and resumed his role as Non-Executive Chairman upon Mr Nigel Lange’s appointment.

On 18 December 2020, 28 January 2021 and 10 May 2021 42,120,334 loan funded shares were cancelled (23,581,872; 8,538,462 

and 10,000,000 respectively).

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

The consequences of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are continuing to be felt around the world, and its impact on the 

Group, if any, has been reflected in its published results to date. Whilst it would appear that control measures and related 

government policies, including the roll out of the vaccine, have started to mitigate the risks caused by COVID-19, it is not 

possible at this time to state that the pandemic will not subsequently impact the Group’s operations going forward. The Group 

now has experience in the swift implementation of business continuation processes should future lockdowns of the population 

occur, and these processes continue to evolve to minimise any operational disruption. Management continues to monitor the 

situation both locally and internationally.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 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.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Company is currently progressing its manufacturing capabilities, supply chain and sales and marketing infrastructure 

to achieve first commercial sales in the European Union and the United Kingdom, as well as seeking to obtain marketing 

approval in markets which recognise the CE Mark. The CE Marking approval requires the Company to conduct a post marketing 

surveillance program which requires approvals at hospital sites and at a country level. The Company has a Humanitarian Device 

Exemption (HDE) submission pending with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of the OncoSil™ 

device for the treatment of distal cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). A Global Pivotal Clinical Study will be undertaken, 

aimed at supporting a pre-marketing application in the United States in future years for pancreatic cancer. 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 Pivotal Clinical Study or the outcome of clinical results.

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

•  Details of remuneration

•  Service agreements

•  Share-based compensation

•  Additional information

•  Additional disclosures relating to KMP

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. 

16

Directors’ reportOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021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.

The NRC has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward 

strategy of the Group. 

The Board has 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; and

•  other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave.

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

17

Directors’ reportOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021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.

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. Currently 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 performance dependent loan shares will vest upon achieving 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 2021. 

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

The Group did not engage the use of a remuneration consultant during the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

Voting and actions following the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)

At the 2020 AGM, 62% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 

2020. As more than 25% of the eligible votes were cast against the Remuneration Report the Company received a “first strike”. 

Following the AGM, the Board took the shareholder concerns seriously and proactively engaged and received feedback from 

many shareholders to understand their concerns. 

As a consequence, the Board made changes to the Executive Team during the year, with Nigel Lange being appointed CEO and 

Managing Director of OncoSil following the termination of Daniel Kenny. 

In addition, following on from the extensive renumeration benchmarking work and the report from the Godfrey Remuneration 

Group completed in May 2018, the NRC conducted further comparative reviews of KMP remuneration levels against the market 

especially for the new appointments. 

The Company’s Long Term Incentive scheme has been structured to align KMP interests with shareholders by having all vesting 

conditions subject to Total Shareholder Return hurdle rates. In FY22, the Company intends, subject to shareholder approval, to 

replace the performance dependent loan shares with options to further align long term reward with shareholders’ interests.

18

Directors’ reportOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Clearly whilst listening and acknowledging the feedback from shareholders, the Board must also consider how to balance the 

need for remuneration plans to engage and fairly reward Executive KMP for their contribution to the business’s long-term 

success and driving shareholder value.

OncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021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 503, Level 5 

15 Blue 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 18 August 2021. 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.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework)

The Group has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 July 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition 

and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a 

material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

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. The financial statements have also been 

prepared on a going concern basis. 

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.

31

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Going concern

During the financial year ended 30 June 2021 the Group has reported a loss after tax of $10,433,523 (2020: $4,261,895) and a 

decline in cash flows from operative activities of $4,359,322. COVID-19 has impacted on the Group’s ability to grow its revenue base 

during the year. As at 30 June 2021, the Group holds cash and cash equivalents of $12,239,836.

The directors have assessed the financial and operating implications of the above matters, including the expected net cash 

outflows over the next 12 months. Should forecasted revenue not be achieved, the Group can flexibly manage cash outflows by 

reducing discretionary expenditure. Based on this consideration, the directors are of the view that the Group will be able to pay its 

debts as and when they fall due for at least 12 months following the date of these financial statements and that it is appropriate for 

the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis. 

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 24.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of OncoSil Medical Ltd as at 30 June 

2021 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.

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 the Company’s functional currency 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.

32

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs will be capitalised if and 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. 

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are 

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Finance costs

Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the 

period in which they are incurred.

33

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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. 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.

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 2021. The Group has not yet assessed 

the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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.

COVID-19

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that COVID-19 has had, or may have, on the Group based on known 

information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing 

and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Whilst the impact of COVID-19 has not materially impacted the Group up 

to 30 June 2021, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.

34

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

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 Monte-Carlo model taking into 

account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted during the last 2 years (Black-Scholes model has 

been used before). 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.

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.

Lease term

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is 

exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying 

asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included 

in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an 

extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered 

may include the importance of the asset to the Group’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market 

rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to 

replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a 

termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Incremental borrowing rate

Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount 

future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based 

on what the Group estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar 

value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

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.

The Group currently derives revenue in the Australia and New Zealand region. Information of revenue from products is included 

in note 5.

Major customers

During the year ended 30 June 2021 there were no major customers. A customer is considered major if its revenues are 10% or 

more of the Group’s revenue.

and $96,000 (2020: $39,000) as part of its ‘Boosting Cash Flow for Employers’ and ‘JobKeeper’ schemes, respectively, in response 
to COVID-19. These non-tax amounts have been recognised as government grants and recognised as income once there is 

reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with any conditions attached.

Accounting policy for:

Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be 

received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and 

recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

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.

The RDTI is recognised at fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received and the Group will 

comply with all attached conditions. 

The RDTI relating to expenses is recognised as incurred at the point of time in profit or loss.

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.

The corporate tax rate applicable to base rate entities reduces from 27.5% to 26% for the 2020-21 income year and further 

reduces to 25% prospectively from the 2021-22 income year. The Company qualifies as a base rate entity as it has a turnover of 

less than $50 million and less than 80% of its assessable income is derived from base rate entity passive income. The Company 

has remeasured its deferred tax balances, and any unrecognised potential tax benefits arising from carried forward tax 

losses, based on the effective tax rate that is expected to apply in the year the temporary differences are expected to reverse 

or benefits from tax losses realised. The impact of the change in tax rate on deferred tax balances has been recognised as 

tax expense in profit or loss or as an adjustment to equity to the extent to which the deferred tax relates to items previously 

recognised outside profit or loss.

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.

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.

39

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 8. Income tax (continued)

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.

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 10. Current assets – trade and other receivables (continued)

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 

method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by 

reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence 

that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the 

impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash 

flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the 

effect of discounting is immaterial.

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 

comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the 

commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost 

of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring 

the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 

life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the 

lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any 

remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 

12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value 

of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that 

rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less 

any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under 

residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, 

and any anticipated termination penalties.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are re-measured if there 

is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease 

term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the 

corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 16. Equity – issued capital (continued)

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 has not changed during the year.

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 19. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest 

rate 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 and 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 is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

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. The effect a 100 

(2020: 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 fore-cast 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.

Note 22. Contingent liabilities

There has been no change in the status of contingent liabilities since 30 June 2020.

On 16 April 2013, OncoSil Medical Ltd settled the acquisition of OncoSil Medical (UK) Limited (formerly Enigma Therapeutics 

Limited “OncoSil UK”). OncoSil UK holds a licence to commercialise OncoSil™ (formerly BrachySil™), a 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.

49

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021Note 22. Contingent liabilities (continued)

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 2021.

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 29. 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 performance dependent loan 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. Performance dependent loan shares issued 

under the ESP are accounted for in a similar manner as options. There are no cash settlement alternatives.

The following performance dependent loan shares were on issue under the ESP at reporting date and held as security against 

limited recourse loan arrangements:

During the year 10,862,730 (2020: 2,139,524) performance dependent loan shares were granted to KMP and employees under 

the Group’s Employee Share Plan. In the prior year, a review of all existing outstanding performance dependent loan shares 

granted to KMP and employees resulted in the reversal of the cumulative share-based payment expenses in 2020 of $2,564,592. 

This reversal was a result of a reduction in the probability of achieving performance conditions attaching to these shares 

granted. 

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 performance dependent 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 $3,833,834 (2020: $8,956,464).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of loan shares outstanding at the end of the financial year was 31 months 

(2020: 12 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 Monte-Carlo option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant 

date and expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option during the last 

2 years (Black-Scholes model has been used before).

57

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2021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.

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 30. Events after the reporting period

The consequences of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are continuing to be felt around the world, and its impact on the 

Group, if any, has been reflected in its published results to date. Whilst it would appear that control measures and related 

government policies, including the roll out of the vaccine, have started to mitigate the risks caused by COVID-19, it is not 

possible at this time to state that the pandemic will not subsequently impact the Group’s operations going forward. The Group 

now has experience in the swift implementation of business continuation processes should future lockdowns of the population 

occur, and these processes continue to evolve to minimise any operational disruption. Management continues to monitor the 

situation both locally and internationally.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 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 consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity 
and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

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

(a)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended;  

[This page has intentionally been left blank for the insertion of page one of the independent auditor’s report]

(b)  and complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion  

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

We 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.

OncoSil Medical Ltd 

Key Audit Matter 

How we addressed the Key Audit Matter 

Research and Development Tax Incentive 
Refer to Note 2, Note 3 and Note 6 
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 an income tax exempt 
entity. 

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 2021, the Group had an estimated 
claim of $1.08 million relating to the year ended 30 
June 2021. 

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. 

[This page has intentionally been left blank for the insertion of page two of the independent auditor’s report]

Going Concern Assessment 
Refer to Note 2 
The Group incurred a loss of $10,324,069 (2020: 
$4,263,027) and net cash used in operating activities 
was $8,815,401 (2020: $4,456,079). Notwithstanding 
the continued losses and operating cash outflows, the 
financial statements have been prepared on a going 
concern basis based on the actions undertaken by 
management as outlined in Note 2 Going Concern in 
the financial report.  

We critically analysed the Group’s cashflow forecast 
that was used to support the going concern 
assessment, including performing the following 
procedures:  

•  Compared costs in the forecast prepared by 

management with the actual cashflows for 
FY2021 and obtained justification from 
management on variances in order to 
evaluate the validity of management’s 
forecasting processes. 
Interrogated the cashflow and performed a 
sensitivity analysis over the forecasted 
revenue and costs. 

• 

•  Discussed with management the significant 
assumptions and reviewed supporting 
documentation for inputs used in the 
cashflow forecast. 

•  Reviewed post balance date performance of 
the entity up to the date of signing the audit 
report to determine if the business 
performance was consistent with 
management’s expectations. 

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 2021, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

OncoSil Medical Ltd 

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 control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or 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 
[This page has intentionally been left blank for the insertion of page three of the independent auditor’s report]
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 control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

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

Independent Auditor’s Report 

OncoSil Medical Ltd 

•  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 control 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, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in 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 

[This page has intentionally been left blank for the insertion of page four of the independent auditor’s report]

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report from pages 16 to 24 of the

complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 
remuneration report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility

Australian Auditing Standards.
