Chairman’s Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of OncoSil Medical (“OncoSil”), I am pleased to present our 2023 Annual Report.  Sadly, it has been a disappointing year 
in regard to OncoSil shareholder returns, with the Company’s share price declining markedly following our March-April 2023 heavily discounted 
capital raising.  Whilst the discount applied was significant, the Board took comfort that its structure was as a rights entitlement issue, thereby 
giving all shareholders the opportunity to maintain their desired exposure should they so choose.

Notwithstanding the share price decline, the Company has clearly advanced from the position it was in at the same time last year, with a focus 
on increasing commercialisation efforts.  Further, we remain driven by the beneficial impact that the Oncosil™ device is achieving in a real-world 
setting, with LAPC tumour resection rates remaining pleasing.

Hence, despite the share price malaise, the year saw many operational aspects of the business improve, achieving the following 
commercial milestones:

      Expansion in the number of countries treating patients with the Oncosil™ device, with first patients treated in Italy and Israel;

      An increased number of hospitals treating patients in Spain, including patients having undergone successful resections following treatment 

with the Oncosil™ device; and

      Obtaining reimbursement from two leading insurance companies for treatments at The London Clinic with the Oncosil™ device in the 

private payer market.

Moreover, the team continues to work on developing clinical pathways to support universal public coverage and reimbursement initiatives, 
health insurance coverage and treatment adoption, all critical to OncoSil’s medium term growth plans.  These include: 

      The first patient being enrolled in the TRIPP-FFX Clinical Study with the aim of this Clinical Study to expand the CE Marking approved use 
of the Oncosil™ device in the UK and the European Union for patients being treated either with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy or 
FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy; and

      Ethics committee approval was also received during the year for the PANCOSIL clinical trial. The outcome of this study is expected to 

increase the number of medical professionals who can deliver the Oncosil™ device to patients.

During the year, Mr Brian Leedman joined the Board as part of its renewal.  Brian is a marketing and investor relations professional with over 15 
years’ experience in the biotechnology industry.  I would also like to acknowledge Professor Ricky Sharma who stepped down from the Board due 
to other commitments and I thank him for his contribution to the Board and to the Company.  Since period end, we have also appointed two new 
directors in Gabriel Liberatore and Doug Cubbin, two very well credentialed executives with deep knowledge of OncoSil Medical’s industry.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Chief Executive Officer, Nigel Lange, my fellow Board directors and the 
entire OncoSil management team for their commitment to assisting LAPC patients.  It would also be remiss of me not to thank Karl Pechmann, our 
outgoing CFO and Company Secretary who’s dedication over the previous three years assisted us greatly.

Whilst we respect the patience of shareholders, the Company’s path forward appears brighter and we look forward to the coming year of 
advancement in the successful application of this device against this insidious disease.

Financial year 2024 is shaping up to be one of OncoSil’s most important in terms of revenue growth from existing, contracted hospitals across 
a growing number of regions as well as potentially the GBA, further data enhancement through several ongoing clinical trials and the possible 
approval of the FDA for the OncoSil device in Distal Cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA).  Success in each of these avenues will deliver further positive 
news, aiming to re-build shareholder value.  Importantly, we continue to have dialogue with cornerstone partners through our corporate advisers 
Kidder Williams.

Whilst this is my last Annual Report as Chairman, I have been a shareholder in OncoSil for in excess of ten years and whilst the investment returns 
have not lived up to expectations, as a shareholder I am proud to have been able to materially improve and save lives from this hideous disease.

I will maintain a keen interest in the Company and wish all stakeholders the best for the future.

Sincerely, 

Otto Buttula
Non-Executive Chairman

CEO’s Report

CEO’s Report

The past financial year was not without its challenges however, the team remains committed to the goal of improving the lives of patients that suffer 
from one of the world’s deadliest cancers. Our team personifies OncoSil’s core values of accountability, integrity, excellence, responsibility, and teamwork.

As a business, we continue to make progress on several key initiatives. We are committed to ensuring the achievement of three inflection points for 
OncoSil™. These are i) Approval of the FDA HDE application in Distal Cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA), ii) GBA (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss) approval 
of German fully funded clinical trial and iii) PANCOSIL clinical trial which is designed to increase the user base to include interventional radiology 

administering the OncoSil™ device percutaneously.

Commercialisation

During the year, the team has continued to concentrate on assisting with local regulatory approvals and ethics approvals for the OSPREY patient 
registry. The OncoSil™ team continued to engage in site training, with eighteen (18) hospitals are now fully trained and ready to administer the 
treatment of the OncoSil™ device in seven (7) different countries.

OncoSil™ continues to make commercial progress in Spain. In Spain, we have a total of 7 hospitals active in commercial treatments with a further 3 fully 
trained and ready to commence treating patients. During the year, the first ten (10) patients were treated in Spain with the OncoSil™ device and three 
patients in Spain underwent a successful resection of the LAPC tumour following this treatment. Further commercial agreements have been executed 
in Spain, most notably in the region of Catalunya and Canary Islands which allows for hospitals possessing the necessary infrastructure to perform 
OncoSil™ treatments to utilise the tender to obtain reimbursement. 

We are pleased to report the opening of San Camilo Forlanini Hospital (Rome) commencing treating patients with the OncoSil™ device. 

In addition, 2 hospitals in Israel are active in commercial patient treatments and are encouraged by the results they have achieved to date. 

In the United Kingdom, two leading insurance companies agreed to provide reimbursement for the breakthrough OncoSil™ device in the private payer 
market in the UK at The London Clinic. OncoSil team has been working with other insurers to expand reimbursement for patient access to treatments 
at other private institutions in the United Kingdom.

An agreement was reached in Austria with University Hospital Sankt Pölten Hospital to commence treating patients commercially. 

FY2023 also saw the company reach new distribution agreements in Hong Kong and China Greater Bay area in addition to the Nordic countries.

Clinical and Regulatory Affairs 

OncoSil™ remains in dialogue with the FDA concerning the HDE filing. During FY2023, we submitted additional data for inclusion in our file to address 
questions raised by the FDA. The regulatory and clinical team proceeded to recast the submission to more clearly define the patient population deemed 
to be suitable for treatment with the OncoSil™ device. 

Internal discussions continued throughout the year at the GBA with respect to the design of the sponsored clinical trial. OncoSil™ were represented 
at the ‘expert’ hearing conducted by the GBA concerning our device and succeeded in meeting the criteria set forth by the agency. There has been a 
subsequent delay due to internal discussions on an appropriate endpoint for the clinical trial. A further expert panel hearing is scheduled for later this 
calendar year with a view to reaching a consensus. 

We are pleased to report the commencement of the TRIPP FFX clinical trial which incorporates the FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen in combination 
with the OncoSil™ device. This trial is crucial to include the use of FOLFIRINOX on our approved labelling in the European Union. Seven patients were 
recruited into the trial in FY2023.

FY2023 also saw the ethics approval of the PANCOSIL clinical trial which is designed to assess the safety of administering the OncoSil™ device 
percutaneously under ultrasound guidance. This trial is significant since it will expand the user base to include Interventional Radiology/Interventional 

Oncology.

CEO’s Report 

Financial Position

As at June 30, 2023, OncoSil had a cash balance of $9.4 million. Over the year, the Company’s net cash used in operations was $11.3 million, with $2.5 
million invested in R & D activities.

FY2023 also saw the completion of a capital raising in the amount of $9.9 million from a non-renounceable entitlement offer. The offer resulted in the 
allotment of new shares as well as listed options (ASX: OSLO).

I thank all new and existing investors for supporting the capital raising. This raise will permit the Company to continue to further commercialisation our 
technology on a broader scale in 2024.

Finally, I would like to thank all our shareholders for their continued support of OncoSil™. Our achievements in 2023 were significant and we look 
forward to continuing this trajectory in 2024. The team and I continue our efforts as we strive to make a difference in improving patient outcomes in 
pancreatic cancer.

Sincerely,

Nigel Lange

Company secretary

Mr Karl Pechmann resigned as company secretary and CFO on 1 June 2023, with Christian Dal Cin appointed to both roles on the 

same day.

Christian Dal Cin has extensive experience with listed and private companies including corporate secretarial, accounting and 

general management through The CFO Solution and previous roles.

Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group during the financial year focused on the development and commercialisation of its lead 

product candidate, the OncoSil™ localised radiation therapy for the treatment of pancreatic and distal cholangiocarcinoma.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

Review of operations

The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $11,342,926 (30 June 2022: $10,726,703). 

OncoSil Medical Limited is an ASX-listed medical device company which has developed a breakthrough implantable radiation 

(brachytherapy) device for patients with pancreatic and distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA). The Oncosil™ device has CE Marking 

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

Commercialisation

During the year the team has continued to concentrate on assisting with local regulatory approvals and ethics approvals for the 

OSPREY patient registry. The OncoSil team continued to engage in site training, with twelve (12) hospitals now fully trained to 

administer the treatment of the Oncosil™ device in ten (10) countries.

During the year, the first patient treatments with the Oncosil™ device were delivered in Italy, and Israel. 

In the United Kingdom, two leading insurance companies agreed to provide reimbursement for the breakthrough Oncosil™ 

device in the private payer market in the UK at The London Clinic. The OncoSil team has been working with other insurers to 

expand reimbursement for patient access to treatments at other private institutions in the United Kingdom.

The year saw an expansion in the number of sites in Spain using the Oncosil™ device, with the seventh (7th) hospital 

undertaking a patient treatment. During the year, the first ten (10) patients were treated in Spain with the Oncosil™ device and 

two patients in Spain underwent a successful resection of the LAPC tumour following this treatment. 

In April 2023, a tender was awarded to OncoSil from the Las Palmas Hospital in the Canary Islands, Spain, valued at €220K 

(A$361k).

12

In December 2022, OncoSil signed a distribution agreement with Hind Wing Company Limited (Hind Wing), a company based 

in Hong Kong SAR provides exclusive distribution rights for the sale of the OncoSil™ device within the Hong Kong, Macao, The 

Greater Bay Area, China and the Hainan Special Economic Zone, China.

In Germany, the Company is awaiting final study design for the fully funded clinical trial in Germany, which will be funded by the 

Federal Joint Committee (G-BA). The Company will receive sales revenue for the provision of the Oncosil™ device over the course 

of the clinical trial. A successful outcome of this trial would enable the company to receive public funding from statutory health 

insurers under the German DRG system for the treatment of patients within this market.  

Clinical and regulatory affairs

During the year the team has continued to develop and execute on its strategic objectives related to the further clinical 

development of the technology.  

Further data was submitted for OncoSil’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 HDE will mark an 

important milestone in the Company’s commercialisation strategy upon approval. 

The first patient was enrolled in the TRIPP-FFX Clinical Study with the aim of this Clinical Study to expand the CE Marking 

approved use of the Oncosil™ device in the UK and the European Union for patients being treated either with gemcitabine-

based chemotherapy or FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. The objective of the TRIPP-FFX Clinical Study is to evaluate the safety 

and efficacy of Oncosil™ in patients with unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer who are treated with FOLFIRINOX 

chemotherapy. 

The primary endpoints of the study include safety and tolerability and Local Disease Control Rate at 16 weeks. Secondary 

endpoints will also be included in the study, including Overall Survival (OS), quality of life, pain scores, tumour response and 

surgical resection rates. 

Ethics committee approval was also received during the year for the PANCOSIL clinical trial. The study involves the treatment 

of 15 patients with the Oncosil™ device which will be delivered percutaneously (by inserting a needle directly through the skin 

into the pancreatic tumour, under CT guidance) rather than endoscopically guided by ultrasound, which is the current approved 

method of implantation. The outcome of this study is expected to increase the number of medical professionals who can deliver 

the Oncosil™ device to patients.  

The first multi-centre data on Oncosil™ in the treatment in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer was presented at the 

European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer (WCGIC) meeting in June 2023.

The study was a retrospective analysis of 14 patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer from 5 centres in Australia and the 

United Kingdom treated using OncoSil in addition to standard-of-care chemotherapy. The study found that OncoSil implantation 

into the primary pancreatic tumour was safe and feasible for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, with a 100% Local 

Disease Control Rate (LDCR) at 3 months after implantation. 

Corporate

During the year Mr Brian Leedman was appointed to the Board of Directors. Mr Leedman is a marketing and investor relations 

professional with over 15 years’ experience in the biotechnology industry.

The Company also completed at $9.9m capital raising consisting of a non-renounceable entitlement offer and the placement of 

shortfall to sophisticated and professional investors. The entitlement offer resulted in 989,242,262 shares and 989,242,262 listed 

options (ASX: OSLO), exercise price $0.03 expiring on 30 April 2027, being issued.

Recognised revenue from the Research and Development tax incentive in 2023 was $1,099,744 (2022: $831,598), reflecting lower 

Research and Development expenses and a higher proportion of activities being directed towards commercial activities.

Employee benefits expenses decreased to $4,711,692 (2022: $5,266,026) as OncoSil focusing in sales, reimbursement and clinical 

resources to assist in commercialisation.

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

The Company announced changes to its board after the reporting period, namely:

On 14 July 2023, Mr Gabriel Liberatore was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director.

On 7 August 2023, Mr Douglas Cubbin was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director and will assume the position of 

elected Chairperson from 31 August 2023 onwards.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 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 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.  

Business risks

The following is a summary of material business risks that could adversely affect our financial performance and growth 

potential in future years and how we propose to mitigate such risks.

Research and Development

The Group’s future levels of success will be influenced by the performance of the Group’s product in future clinical trials. 

Expanded usage of the Company’s device requires additional research and development, including ongoing clinical evaluation 

of safety and efficacy in clinical trials and regulatory approval prior to marketing authorisation. Medical device development 

generally is often associated with a high failure rate and until the Company is able to provide further clinical evidence of the 

ability of the Group’s product to improve outcomes in patients, the future success of the product in development remains 

speculative. Research and development risks include uncertainty of the outcome of results, difficulties or delays in development 

and the uncertainty around that surrounds scientific development of novel medical devices generally.

14

Future potential sales

Despite obtaining CE Mark regulatory approval, the Group’s products/technologies may not gain market acceptance among 

physicians, patients and the medical community. The degree of market acceptance of the Group’s approved products will 

depend on a variety of factors including:

• Timing of market introduction, number and clinical profile of competitive products;

• The Group’s ability to provide acceptable evidence of the safety and efficacy and its ability to secure the support of key

clinicians and physicians for its products;

• Cost-effectiveness compared to existing and new treatments;

• Inclusion in national treatment guidelines;

• Ability for coverage, market access, reimbursement and adequate payment from government bodies,

health maintenance organisations and other third-party payers;

• Prevalence and severity of adverse side effects; and

• Other advances over other treatment methods.

Physicians, patients, payers or the medical community may be unwilling to accept, use or recommend the Group’s products 

which would adversely affect its potential reviews and future profitability.

Regulatory risk

The Group and the development/commercialisation of its proposed products/technologies are subject to extensive laws and 

regulations including but not limited to the regulation of human medical device products. Additionally, human clinical trials are 

very expensive and difficult to design and implement, in part because they are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. A 

risk exists that the Group’s technology may not satisfy regulatory requirements in markets in which we are seeking approval 

and ultimately may not gain approval, or that the approval process may take much longer than expected. As a result, the Group 

may fail to commercialise or out-license any products. If the Group fails to remain compliant with these various regulatory 
requirements, there is a risk that the Group’s financial performance could be adversely affected.

Reliance on key personnel 

The Group currently employs a number of key management and scientific personnel, and the Group’s future depends on 
retaining and attracting suitably qualified personnel. The Group has included in its employment with key personnel provisions 

aimed at providing incentives and assisting in the recruitment and retention of such personnel. It has also, as far as legally 

possible, established contractual mechanisms through employment and consultancy contracts to limit the ability of key 

personnel to join a competitor or compete directly with the Group. Despite these measures, however, there is no guarantee that 

the Group will be able to attract and retain suitably qualified personnel, and a failure to do so could materially and adversely 

affect the value of the Group’s technology.

Capital raising 

The Group currently relies on Capital raising activities to provide funding. By monitoring undiscounted cash flow forecasts and 

actual cash flows provided to the Board by the Group’s management, the Board monitors the need to raise additional equity 

from the equity markets. The Group has a history of successful Capital raises, however recognises the risks in raising Capital in 

the current markets.

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 rewards 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 Board of Directors are 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.

16

The Board 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 Board. The Board 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;

•  long-term incentives; 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 2023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 

Board 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 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 Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviewed the long-term 

equity-linked performance incentives specifically for executives during the year ended 30 June 2023.

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 Board. 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 2023.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)

At the 2022 AGM, 80% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 

2022. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

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:

Registered Office  

Principle place of business

Level 3 

62 Lygon Street 

Level 3 

7 Eden Park Drive 

Carlton South, Victoria, 3053  

Macquarie Park, NSW 2113

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 31 August 2023. 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. The adoption of these Accounting 

Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group.

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:

AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments 

AASB 2020-3 was issued in June 2020 and is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Early adoption is 

permitted.

This standard amends:

•  AASB 1 ‘First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards’ to simplify the application of AASB 1 by a subsidiary that 

becomes a first-time adopter after its parent in relation to the measurement of cumulative translation differences;

•  AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ to update a reference to the Conceptual Framework (see below) without changing the 

accounting requirements for business combinations;

•  AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ to clarify the fees an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified 

financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability;

•  AASB 116 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ to require an entity to recognise the sales proceeds from selling items produced 

while preparing property, plant and equipment for its intended use and the related cost in profit or loss, instead of deducting 

the amounts received from the cost of the asset;

•  AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ to specify the costs that an entity includes when assessing 

whether a contract will be loss-making; and

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

• AASB 141 ‘Agriculture’ to remove the requirement to exclude cash flows from taxation when measuring fair value, thereby

aligning the fair value measurement requirements in AASB 141 with those in other AAS.

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.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities 
and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During the financial year ended 30 

June 2023 the Group has reported a net loss after tax of $11,342,926 (2022: $10,726,703) and cash outflows from operative 

activities of $11,315,634 (2022: $10,110,178). As at 30 June 2023, the Group holds cash and cash equivalents of $9,393,832 (2022: 

11,279,841).

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 

2023 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.

36

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

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. 

37

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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.

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.

Comparatives

Comparatives have been realigned where necessary, to be consistent with current year presentation. There was no effect on profit, 

net assets or equity.

38

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

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 2023. 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.

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, Binomial or Monte-

Carlo model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. Share based payment 

transactions in prior years were valued using the Black-Scholes and Monte-Carlo models. 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.

39

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023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 and in Europe. Information of revenue from 

products is included in note 5.

Major customers

During the year ended 30 June 2023 there were no major customers. A customer is considered major if its revenues are 10% or 

more of the Group’s revenue.

Accounting policy for:

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 25% for the 2022-23 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.

43

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023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.

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

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss 

allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.

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

•  note 14 and note 15 for lease liabilities; and

•  consolidated statement of cash flows for repayment of lease liabilities.

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets

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.

47

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023Note 15. Non-current liabilities - lease liabilities  (continued)

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured 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.

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.

The reserve is used to recognise exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations 

to Australian dollars. It is also used to recognise gains and losses on hedges of the net investments in foreign operations.

Share-based payments reserve

The reserve is used to recognise the value of equity benefits provided to: employees and directors as part of their remuneration 

under an Employee Share Plan; directors on terms determined by the Board and approved by shareholders; and other parties as 

part of their compensation for services.

Options reserve

The reserve is used to recognise the value of options on issue, not granted as a means of a share-based payment.

On 17 March 2023, the Company announced a non-renounceable entitlement offer to existing shareholders to subscribe for 1 

new share plus 1 free attaching option for every 1 share held at an offer price of $0.01. The options are listed on the ASX and 

have an exercise price of $0.03 and expire on 30 April 2027. On 11 May 2023, 989,242,262 shares and listed options were allotted 

as a result of the entitlement offer.

For the listed options granted during the current financial year, the valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at 

the grant date, are as follows:

Note 18. Equity – dividends

There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year.

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 risk 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.

50

Note 19. Financial instruments (continued)

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 

(2022: 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.

51

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023Note 19. Financial instruments (continued)

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 2022.

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.

53

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023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.

The existence of the obligations will be confirmed only by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly 

within the control of the Group.

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 2023.

are anti-dilutive.

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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming conversion of all dilutive potential 

ordinary shares.

Note 29. Share-based payments

Grant of performance dependent loan shares

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.

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 $1,278,563 (2022: $2,733,834).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of loan shares outstanding at the end of the financial year was 23 months (2022: 

27 months).

Grant of performance rights

At the 2021 Annual General Meeting held on 19 October 2021, shareholders approved the Group’s Omnibus Incentive Plan and 

is designed as an incentive for senior managers and above. Performance rights vest automatically if an when the OncoSil Total 

Shareholder Return (TSR) achieves hurdle compound annual growth rate (CAGR) rates. 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 the expected volatility of the underlying share and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

Notes to the financial statementsOncoSil Medical Ltd  •  30 June 2023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 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, Binomial or 

Monte-Carlo models, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. Share-based 

payment transactions in prior years were valued using the Black-Scholes and Monte-Carlo models. 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 of equity.

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 Company announced changes to its board after the reporting period, namely:

On 14 July 2023, Mr Gabriel Liberatore was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director.

On 7 August 2023, Mr Douglas Cubbin was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director and will assume the position of 

elected Chairperson from 31 August 2023 onwards.

On 31 August 2023, Mr Otto Buttula retired as Chairperson of the Board.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 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 2023, 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 2023 and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended;  

(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

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 2, Note 3, Note 6 and Note 10 
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 2023, the Group had an estimated 
claim of $1,099,744 relating to the year ended 30 
June 2023. 

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. 
Going Concern Assessment 
Refer to Note 2 
The Group incurred a loss of $11,342,926 (2022: 
$10,639,331) and net cash used in operating 
activities was $11,315,634 (2022: $10,110,178). 
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 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. 

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 
FY2023 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.

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 2023, 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 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 
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.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

      OncoSil Medical Ltd  

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 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 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report from pages 16 to 26 of the 
annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023.  

In our opinion, the remuneration report of OncoSil Medical Ltd., for the year ended 30 June 2023, 
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 
is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with 
Australian Auditing Standards.
