Overview 

Orthocell Ltd is a regenerative medicine 
company dedicated to the development of 
novel collagen medical devices and cellular 
therapies for the repair and regeneration of 
human tendons, bone, nerve and cartilage 
defects. Development to date has focused on 
two main products: 

1.  CelGro® is a naturally derived collagen 

medical device for tissue repair currently 
approved for use in Europe (CE Mark). It is 
designed for use in multiple indications as an 
augment to the surgical repair of tendons, 
bone, peripheral nerves and articular cartilage.   
Clinical trials are in progress to further validate 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

the indication for use. CelGro® represents a 
paradigm shift in bone and soft tissue 
reconstruction and has distinct competitive 
advantages over existing tissue repair devices, 
particularly in the areas of cell compatibility, 
mechanical properties (strength and ease of 
use) and facilitating high quality tissue repair 
making.  

2.  Ortho-ATI® is a first in class cell therapy for 
treatment of chronic tendon injuries.  The 
unique treatment uses each patient’s own 
tendon-derived cells to stimulate tendon 
regeneration and is delivered via ultrasound 
guided injection under local anaesthetic. 
Ortho-ATI® addresses a significant unmet 
clinical need in the healing of tendons which 
are resistant to existing therapies. 

Summary of key events 

CelGro® 

Soft tissue reconstruction 
platform medical device 

During the 2019 financial 
year Orthocell achieved 
key milestones in 
executing its partnering 
strategy for CelGro® as a 
dental bone repair 

product, clinical development milestones in nerve 
repair and development objectives of key 
pipeline products.   

CelGro® Dental Bone Regeneration - 
Path to Partnering   

Further Marketing data 
The Company completed a Marketing 

Study to further position CelGro® as the best-in-
class collagen membrane for dental bone and 
soft tissue repair.  The study showed that dental 
implant surgery with CelGro® had a significant 
positive impact on patients’ lives. All patients 
successfully generated new bone to stabilise their 
implants and complete treatment in 
approximately four months – almost half the time 
of the usual two-stage (eight months) dental 
implant treatment.   

Clinician advocacy program 
Orthocell continued to roll out its clinician 
advocacy program designed to grow awareness 
of CelGro®’s distinct competitive advantages, 
expand the network of referring clinicians and 
increase product use.  Events included: 

 

 

 

In October 2018 Orthocell presented its 
successful CelGro® bone repair study results 
27th European Association for Osseointegration 
Annual Scientific Meeting. ASX Release: CelGro® 
bone repair study results   

In March 2019, the Company attended the 
biennial International Dental Show (IDS), held in 
Cologne, Germany.  IDS is the leading global 
trade fair for the dental community 
showcasing innovations and new products with 
the major international dental companies and 
global Key Opinion Leaders in attendance.   

In April 2019, the Company completed a 
European tour with Dr Brent Allan (principle 
investigator of the CelGro study).  Dr Allan 
presented the dental implant marketing study 
data to leading dental clinicians and surgeons 
in Italy, Spain and the UK.   

CelGro® used in centres of excellence 
The Company appointed Carrera Medical, as its 
exclusive distributor of CelGro® for dental bone 
and soft tissue repair across the UK. Working 
together, Carrera and the Company secured 
approval for use of CelGro® in the highly 
regarded Birmingham Dental Hospital.   This 
represents the first step in growing Orthocell’s 
public hospital customer base.  

Expanding target market regulatory approvals  
In late 2018, Orthocell completed a Pre-
Submission Meeting with the US Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA), to discuss Orthocell’s 
application for regulatory clearance using the 
510(k) pathway to get approval to sell CelGro® in 
the US. Orthocell continued to progress the 
regulatory studies required for 510(k) clearance 
and remains on track to receive FDA approval in 
2020.   

Orthocell submitted an application to the 
Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for 
CelGro®’s inclusion on the Australian Registry of 
Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), a pre-requisite for its 
introduction into the substantial Australian 
commercial market. Orthocell’s application to the 
TGA follows its recent approval in Europe (CE 
Mark). With European approval in place, 
Orthocell is well-positioned to also secure 
approval in Australia.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Engaging Partners - The Company continues to 
progress discussions with potential global partners.  
With EU approval achieved and brand 
ambassadors actively representing the product, 
Orthocell is well placed to execute on its 
commercial partnering strategy in the near term. 

CelGro® Nerve Regeneration - 
First patients complete nerve 
regeneration trial  
Orthocell announced clinical results 
from the first patients to successfully completed 
participation in the CelGro® nerve regeneration 
clinical trial.  A review of patients 24 months after 
nerve regeneration treatment with CelGro® 
(involving the repair of 8 peripheral nerves) 
indicates that CelGro® successfully guides and 
supports nerve regeneration in severely damaged 
nerves of the hand and upper limb. The patients 
experienced 83% improvement in muscle power 
and have returned to work, sport and activities of 
daily living after their CelGro® nerve regeneration 
treatment.  

CelGro® Pipeline – development of orthopaedic 
applications 

Orthocell progressed development of its 
orthopaedic applications announcing a 
breakthrough bone fracture repair pre-clinical 
study using CelGro® dosed with bone growth 
factors presented at European Orthopaedic 
Research Society meeting in Ireland. This study 
indicated CelGro® when dosed with bone active 
factors can accelerate and augment the repair 
of bone fractures. Accelerated repair of critical 
bone defects represents an area of significant 
clinical interest to the orthopaedic community. 
This study also further validates the versatility of 
CelGro® and the potential to extend Orthocell’s 
orthopaedic product range. 

CelGro® Patent protection secured globally  
During the 2019 financial year, the Company was 
granted divisional patents in Europe, Japan, Hong 
Kong and Mexico for its CelGro® collagen 
medical device platform. The patents cover the 
method of manufacture of novel bio-scaffolds 
and method of combining cells and scaffolds as 
an aid in the surgical repair of soft tissue injuries 
and protects the CelGro® product platform.  

CelGro® patents have been previously granted in 
the US, Europe, China, Canada, Singapore, 
Australia and New Zealand. 

Ortho-ATI® 

Cell therapy to regenerate 
damaged tendon tissue 

Ortho-ATI®:  progressing 
our collaboration with 
Johnson & Johnson 

The company remains 
on track to complete 

recruitment for its randomised controlled clinical 
trial of Ortho-ATI® versus corticosteroid injection 
by 3Q CY2019.  

The objective of this study is to assess the safety 
and effectiveness of Ortho‐ATI® compared to 
corticosteroid injection in the treatment of rotator 
cuff tendinopathy and tear.  The trial is being 
undertaken in collaboration with DePuy Synthes 
Products, Inc., part of the Johnson & Johnson 
Medical Device Companies. 

Ortho-ATI® shows 82% success rate 
As part of Orthocell’s commitment to its 
continuous delivery of high quality regenerative 
medicine products, the Company administers an 
Annual Quality Study to capture patient 
feedback following treatment of chronic tendon 
injuries with Orthocell’s Ortho-ATI® stem cell 
therapy. The 2018 study indicated 82% of patients 
were ‘satisfied’ to ‘extremely satisfied’ with how 
Ortho-ATI® relieved symptoms (i.e. chronic pain) 
and improved ability to perform everyday 
activities at home and at work. 

Chronic tendon pain is a highly prevalent 
condition. For example, tennis elbow (elbow pain) 
affects 1-3% of the general population. Ortho-ATI® 
is at the forefront of a large and growing market 
opportunity where the addressable market is 
estimated to be >US$7.7bn and growing. 

Corporate  

In October 2018, the Company received a 
Research and Development (R&D) tax incentive 
cash refund of $2,528,160 for the financial year 
2017/2018.     

Orthocell completed a placement of 26,500,000 
ordinary shares at $0.40 per share to raise $10.6 
million before costs.  Demand for the placement 
was well in excess of funds sought with support 
from existing shareholders, new institutions and

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

other sophisticated investors.  The funds raised, in 
combination with cash reserves, will be used to 
accelerate commercialisation of CelGro® for 
dental bone, tendon and nerve repair into key 
markets; progress key regulatory approvals in the 
US and other target jurisdictions; and support 
continued business development and marketing 
initiatives. 

4.  Dividends 

No dividends were paid during the current or 
previous financial years and no dividends have 
been declared subsequent to the financial year 
end and up to the date of this report. 

5.  Significant changes in the state of 

affairs 

The total amount raised under share placements 
of A$13,825,192 and existing cash reserves will be 
used to accelerate CelGro® commercialisation 
and progress US regulatory approvals and key 
studies, advance the development of Ortho-ATI® 
and other R&D pipeline products. 

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

6.  Likely developments and expected 

results of operations 

Having completed its successful capital raises in 
December 2018 and June 2019, the Company will 
continue the development and 
commercialisation of CelGro® and Ortho-ATI.   

Orthocell remains focused on executing its 
partnering strategy for CelGro® in dental bone 
and soft tissue repair designed to optimise 
shareholder value. This includes rolling out the 
clinician advocacy program and undertaking 
targeted education, promotion and advertising 
programs led by Orthocell’s key opinion leaders. 
Orthocell intends to leverage the CE Mark to 
achieve AUS and US regulatory approvals and 
accelerate the introduction of the tendon and 
nerve indications, in parallel to the 
commercialisation of Ortho-ATI® and pipeline 
products.   

7.  Environmental regulation 

The consolidated entity is not subject to any 
significant environmental regulation under 
Australian Commonwealth or State law. 

8.  Therapeutic Goods Administration

manufacturing license (MI-19052008-LI-002420-11) 
provided by the TGA for tissue processing, on site 
storage and release for supply of autologous 
tenocytes and chondrocytes. 

9.  Remuneration report (audited) 

This Remuneration Report outlines the director and 
executive remuneration arrangements of the 
Company and the consolidated entity in 
accordance with the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.  For the 
purposes of this report Key Management 
Personnel (KMP) of the consolidated entity are 
defined as those persons having the authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and 
controlling the major activities of the Company 
and the consolidated entity, directly or indirectly, 
including any director (whether executive or 
otherwise) of the parent Company. 

Remuneration Philosophy 

The performance of the Company depends upon 
the quality of its directors and executives. To 
prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and 
retain highly skilled directors and executives. 

To this end, the Company embodies the following 
principles in its remuneration framework: 

•  Provide competitive rewards to attract high 

calibre executives. 

• 

Link executive rewards to shareholder value. 

•  A portion of executive remuneration may be 
put ‘at risk’, dependent on meeting pre-
determined performance benchmarks. 

•  Where appropriate, establish performance 
hurdles in relation to variable executive 
remuneration.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Due to the early stage of development which the 
Company is in, shareholder wealth is directly 
affected by the Company share price, the 
Company is not in a position to pay dividends.  By 
remunerating directors and Executives in part by 
options, the Company aims to align the interests 
of directors and executives with shareholder 
wealth, thus providing individual incentive to 
perform and thereby improving overall Company 
performance and associated value. 

Remuneration structure 

Non-executive director remuneration 

Objective 
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at 
a level which provides the Company with the 
ability to attract and retain directors of the highest 
calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable 
to shareholders. 

Structure 
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that 
can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject 
to approval by shareholders at General Meetings 
and is currently set at $450,000. 

The amount of aggregate directors’ fees sought 
to be approved by shareholders and the manner 
in which it is apportioned amongst directors will 
be reviewed annually.  The Board may consider 
advice from external consultants as well as the 
fees paid to non-executive directors of 
comparable companies when undertaking the 
annual review process. 

Each non-executive director receives a fee for 
being a director of the Company. In addition, if a 
director performs extra or special services beyond 
their role as a director, the Board may resolve to 
provide additional remuneration for such services. 

Fees for directors are not linked to the 
performance of the consolidated entity however, 
to align all directors’ interests with shareholder 
interests, directors are encouraged to hold shares 
in the Company and may receive options. This 
effectively links directors’ performance to the 
share price performance and therefore to the 
interests of shareholders. For this reason there are 
no performance conditions prior to grant, but 
instead an incentive to increase the value to all 
shareholders. 

Executive remuneration 

Objective 
The Company aims to reward executives (both 
directors and Company executives) with a level 
and mix of remuneration commensurate with their 
position and responsibilities within the Company 
so as to: 

  Attract and retain high quality individuals. 

  Reward executives for Company 

performance. 

  Align the interest of executives with those of 

shareholders. 

 

Link reward with the strategic goals and 
performance of the Company. 

  Ensure total remuneration is competitive by 

market standards. 

Structure 
Executive remuneration consists of both fixed and 
variable (at risk) elements. 

Fixed Remuneration  

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

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually or upon 
renewal of fixed term contracts by the Board and 
the process consists of a review of Company and 
individual performance, relevant comparative 
remuneration in the market and internal policies 
and practices. 

Structure 
Executives are given the opportunity to receive 
their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms 
including cash and fringe benefits.  It is intended 
that the manner of payment chosen will be 
optimal for the recipient without creating undue 
cost for the Company.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Variable Remuneration 

Objective 
The objective of variable remuneration provided is 
to reward executives in a manner which aligns this 
element of remuneration with the creation of 
shareholder wealth. 

Structure 
Variable remuneration may be delivered in the 
form of a cash bonuses, or share options. During 
the financial year ended 30 June 2019 the 
Company granted options to Executives as

indemnity, access and insurance 

The Company has entered into a deed of 
indemnity, access and insurance with each of its 
Directors and the Company Secretary. Under

20. Auditor 

PKF Perth continues in office in accordance with 
section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001. 

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

On behalf of the directors 

Mr Paul Anderson 
Managing Director 
30 August 2019 
Perth 

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 
June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect the consolidated entity's 
operations, the results of those operations, or the 
consolidated entity's state of affairs in future 
financial years. 

17. Non-audit services 

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

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

The directors are of the opinion that the services 
as disclosed in note 21 to the consolidated 
financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of 
the Corporations Act 2001 for the following 
reasons: 

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

•  none of the services undermine the general 

principles relating to auditor independence as 
set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants issued by the 
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards 
Board, including reviewing or auditing the 
auditor's own work, acting in a management 
or decision-making capacity for the Company, 
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly 
sharing economic risks and rewards.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note 1.  Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are 
set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise 
stated.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations adopted 

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the 
new, revised or amending Accounting Standards 
and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are 
mandatory for the current reporting period. 

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

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations did not have any significant 
impact on the financial performance or position 
of the consolidated entity. 

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

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 9 from 
1 July 2018. The standard introduced new 
classification and measurement models for 
financial assets. A financial asset shall be 
measured at amortised cost if it is held within a 
business model whose objective is to hold assets in 
order to collect contractual cash flows which 
arise on specified dates and that are solely 
principal and interest. A debt investment shall be 
measured at fair value through other 
comprehensive income if it is held within a 
business model whose objective is to both hold 
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows 
which arise on specified dates that are solely 
principal and interest as well as selling the asset 
on the basis of its fair value. All other financial 
assets are classified and measured at fair value 
through profit or loss unless the entity makes an 
irrevocable election on initial recognition to 
present gains and losses on equity instruments 
(that are not held-for-trading or contingent 
consideration recognised in a business 
combination) in other comprehensive income 
('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a financial 
asset may be irrevocably designated as 

measured at fair value through profit or loss to 
reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting 
mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair 
value through profit or loss, the standard requires 
the portion of the change in fair value that relates 
to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in 
OCI (unless it would create an accounting 
mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting 
requirements are intended to more closely align 
the accounting treatment with the risk 
management activities of the entity. New 
impairment requirements use an 'expected credit 
loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. 
Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL 
method unless the credit risk on a financial 
instrument has increased significantly since initial 
recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method 
is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach 
to measuring expected credit losses using a 
lifetime expected loss allowance is available. 
There is no impact on the consolidated entity’s 
primary statements from the adoption of AASB 9 
but has resulted in a change to the accounting 
policies. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 15 
from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single 
comprehensive model for revenue recognition. 
The core principle of the standard is that an entity 
shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of 
promised goods or services to customers at an 
amount that reflects the consideration to which 
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for 
those goods or services. The standard introduced 
a new contract-based revenue recognition 
model with a measurement approach that is 
based on an allocation of the transaction price. 
This is described further in the accounting policies 
below. Credit risk is presented separately as an 
expense rather than adjusted against revenue. 
Contracts with customers are presented in an 
entity's statement of financial position as a 
contract liability, a contract asset, or a 
receivable, depending on the relationship 
between the entity's performance and the 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

20 

 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

customer's payment. Customer acquisition costs 
and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to 
certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and 
amortised over the contract period. The adoption 
of AASB 15 does not have any material impact on 
the accounting of revenue in the consolidated 
entity but has resulted in a change to the 
description of accounting policies. 

AASB 16 leases 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The 
standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for 
lessees will eliminate the classifications of 
operating leases and finance leases. Subject to 
exceptions, a ‘right-of-use’ asset will be 
capitalised in the statement of financial position, 
measured at the present value of the 
unavoidable future lease payments to be made 
over the lease term. The exceptions relate to 
short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases 
of low-value assets (such as personal computers 
and small office furniture) where an accounting 
policy choice exists whereby either a right-of-use 
asset is recognised or lease payments are 
expenses to profit and loss as incurred. A liability 
corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be 
recognised, adjusted for lease payments, lease 
incentives received, initial direct costs incurred 
and an estimate of any future restoration, removal 
or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease 
expense recognition will be replaced with a 
depreciation charge for the leased asset 
(included in operating costs) and an interest 
expense on the recognised lease liability 
(included in finance costs). In the earlier periods 
of the lease, the expenses associated with the 
lease under AASB 16 will be higher when 
compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. 
However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax 
Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be 
improved as the operating expense is replaced 
by interest expense and depreciation in profit or 
loss under AASB 16. For classification within the 
statement of cash flows, the lease payments will 
be separated into both a principal (financing 
activities) and interest (either operating or 
financing activities) component. For lessor 
accounting, the standard does not substantially 
change how a lessor accounts for leases. The 
adoption of AASB 16 does not have any material 

impact on the accounting of leases in the 
consolidated entity. 

Basis of preparation 

These general purpose consolidated 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 consolidated 
financial statements also comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board ('IASB'). 

The financial statements cover Orthocell Limited 
as a consolidated entity consisting of Orthocell 
Limited and its subsidiaries. Orthocell Limited is a 
listed public company limited by shares, 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia.  

A description of the nature of the consolidated 
entity’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 28 
August 2018. The directors have the power to 
amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Historical cost convention 
The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared under the historical cost convention, 
except for, where applicable, the revaluation of 
available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets 
and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, 
investment properties, certain classes of property, 
plant and equipment and derivative financial 
instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements requires the use of certain critical 
accounting estimates. It also requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the 
process of applying the consolidated entity's 
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher 
degree of judgement or complexity, or areas 
where assumptions and estimates are significant 
to the consolidated financial statements are 
disclosed in note 2. 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Parent entity information 

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
these consolidated financial statements present 
the results of the consolidated entity only. 
Supplementary information about the parent 
entity is disclosed in note 26. 

Going Concern 

The consolidated entity has net assets of 
$10,724,462 (2018: $2,372,202) as at 30 June 2019 
and incurred a loss of $5,852,214 (2018: 
$5,757,114) and net operating cash outflow of 
$4,180,466 (2018: $4,644,252) for the year ended 
30 June 2019.  

The consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a 
going concern and meet its debts and future 
commitments as and when they fall due is 
dependent on the Company’s ability to raise 
sufficient working capital to ensure the continued 
implementation of the consolidated entity’s 
business strategy.  

The financial report has been prepared on a 
going concern basis. In arriving at this position the 
directors have had regard to the fact that the 
Company has, or in the directors’ opinion will 
have access to, sufficient cash to fund 
administrative and other committed expenditure 
for a period of not less than 12 months from the 
date of this report. In the event that the 
consolidated entity does not achieve the above 
actions, there exists a material uncertainty as to 
whether the consolidated entity will be able to 
continue as a going concern and realise its assets 
and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of 
business. 

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate 
the assets and liabilities and results of Orthocell 
Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') and its 
subsidiaries Ausbiomedical Pty Ltd, Orthocell UK 
Ltd and Orthocell (HK) Limited as at 30 June 2019. 
Orthocell Limited and its subsidiaries together are 
referred to in these consolidated financial 
statements as the 'consolidated entity'. 

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 consolidated 
entity. They are de-consolidated from the date 
that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and 
unrealised gains on transactions between entities 
in the consolidated entity 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 consolidated 
entity. 

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. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of 
subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, 
statement of financial position and statement of 
changes in equity of the consolidated entity. 
Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are 
attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, 
even if that results in a deficit balance. 

Where the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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. 

Operating segments 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the 
consolidated entity has control. The consolidated 
entity controls an entity when the consolidated 
entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable 

Operating segments are presented using the 
'management approach', where the information 
presented is on the same basis as the internal 
reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

22 

 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the 
allocation of resources to operating segments 
and assessing their performance. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or 
when the right to receive payment is established. 

Foreign currency translation 

Income tax 

The consolidated financial statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is Orthocell 
Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into 
Australian dollars using the exchange rates 
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign 
exchange gains and losses resulting from the 
settlement of such transactions and from the 
translation at financial year-end exchange rates 
of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in 
foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. 

Revenue recognition 

In accordance with the adoption of AASB 15 
noted above, the terminology in relation to 
revenue recognition has been changed as 
follows: 

“Sale of goods” are derived from the sale of cell 
therapy products and biological scaffold 
products where control transfers to our customers 
and our performance obligations are satisfied at 
the time of delivery to or receipt of the products 
by the customer. The revenue derived from cell 
therapy products is recognised at the time when 
the patient’s cells have been processed and are 
ready to be delivered to the patient. The revenue 
derived from biological scaffold products is 
recognised at the time of delivery to the 
customer. 

Research and development tax incentive 

The research and development tax incentives are 
recognised at their fair value on receipt when all 
conditions have been complied with. The 
research and development tax incentives are 
recognised as income tax benefits in the 
consolidated statements of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised when it is received 
or due to be received. 

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 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 apply when the assets are recovered 
or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates 
that are enacted or substantively enacted, 
except for: 

When the deferred income tax asset or 

 
liability arises from the initial recognition of 
goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction 
that is not a business combination and that, at the 
time of the transaction, affects neither the 
accounting nor taxable profits; or 

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

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

The carrying amount of recognised and 
unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed 
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. 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

23 

 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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 
entity's which intend to settle simultaneously. 

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 current when it is expected to be 
realised or intended to be sold or consumed in 
normal operating cycle, it is held primarily for the 
purpose of trading, it is expected to be realised 
within twelve 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 twelve months after the 
reporting period. All other assets are classified as 
non-current. 

A liability is current when it is expected to be 
settled in normal operating cycle, it is held 
primarily for the purpose of trading, it is due to be 
settled within twelve months after the reporting 
period, or there is no unconditional right to defer 
the settlement of the liability for at least twelve 
months after the reporting period. All other 
liabilities are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always 
classified as non-current. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on 
hand, deposits held at call with financial 
institutions, other short-term, highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three 
months or less that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and which are subject to 
an insignificant risk of changes in value.  

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 
provision for impairment. 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 consolidated 
entity will not be able to collect all amounts due 
according to the original terms of the receivables.  

Inventories 

Inventory relates to work in progress which consists 
of the costs of patients’ cells being held in the 
laboratory awaiting delivery and implantation into 
the patient. Inventory items are stated at the 
lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventory 
comprises direct materials, direct labour and an 
appropriate proportion of variable and fixed 
overhead expenditure based on normal 
operating capacity. 

As indicated in Note 2, when making the decision 
whether inventory items should be carried forward 
in the statement of financial position, or written 
off, management must consider the likelihood of 
whether each particular patient will proceed to 
implantation. This requires a degree of estimation 
and judgement based on historical sales 
experience, the ageing of the inventories and 
other demographic and market factors.  

At present management consider that 2 years is a 
reasonable period of time to hold inventory in the 
statement of financial position for each patient 
unless there is further particular information that 
would indicate otherwise. This policy is reviewed 
annually. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price 
in the ordinary course of business less the 
estimated costs of completion and the estimated 
costs necessary to make the sale. 

Investments and other financial assets 

Investments and other financial assets are initially 
measured at fair value. Transaction costs are 
included as part of the initial measurement, 
except for financial assets at fair value through 
profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently 
measured at either amortised cost or fair value 
depending on their classification. Classification is 
determined based on both the business model 
within which such assets are held and the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

24 

 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is 
being avoided. 

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights 
to receive cash flows have expired or have been 
transferred and the consolidated entity has 
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership. When there is no reasonable 
expectation of recovering part or all of a financial 
asset, it's carrying value is written off. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost 
or at fair value through other comprehensive 
income are classified as financial assets at fair 
value through profit or loss. Typically, such 
financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, 
where they are acquired for the purpose of selling 
in the short-term with an intention of making a 
profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such 
upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair 
value movements are recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive income 
Financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive income include equity 
investments which the consolidated entity intends 
to hold for the foreseeable future and has 
irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon 
initial recognition. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The consolidated entity recognises a loss 
allowance for expected credit losses on financial 
assets which are either measured at amortised 
cost or fair value through other comprehensive 
income. The measurement of the loss allowance 
depends upon the consolidated entity's 
assessment at the end of each reporting period 
as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk 
has increased significantly since initial recognition, 
based on reasonable and supportable 
information that is available, without undue cost 
or effort to obtain. 

Where there has not been a significant increase in 
exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 
12-month expected credit loss allowance is 
estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's 
lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable 
to a default event that is possible within the next 
12 months. Where a financial asset has become 
credit impaired or where it is determined that 

credit risk has increased significantly, the loss 
allowance is based on the asset's lifetime 
expected credit losses. The amount of expected 
credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of 
the probability weighted present value of 
anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the 
instrument discounted at the original effective 
interest rate. 

For financial assets measured at fair value through 
other comprehensive income, the loss allowance 
is recognised within other comprehensive income. 
In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised 
in profit or loss. 

Leases 

The determination of whether an arrangement is 
or contains a lease is based on the substance of 
the arrangement and requires an assessment of 
whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is 
dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets 
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the 
asset. 

A distinction is made between finance leases, 
which effectively transfer from the lessor to the 
lessee substantially all the risks and benefits 
incidental to ownership of leased assets, and 
operating leases, under which the lessor 
effectively retains substantially all such risks and 
benefits. 

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and 
liability are established at the fair value of the 
leased assets, or if lower, the present value of 
minimum lease payments. Lease payments are 
allocated between the principal component of 
the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to 
achieve a constant rate of interest on the 
remaining balance of the liability. 

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are 
depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the 
shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term 
if there is no reasonable certainty that the 
consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the 
end of the lease term. 

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives 
received from the lessor, are charged to profit or 
loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
lease.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Property, 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 (excluding land) over their 
expected useful lives as follows: 

Leasehold improvements 
Plant & equipment 
Computer software 
Furniture & fittings 

Straight line 
Diminishing value 
Straight line 
Diminishing value 

40 yrs 
3-7 yrs 
2-3 yrs 
10-15 yrs 

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

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

An item of property, plant and equipment is 
derecognised upon disposal or when there is no 
future economic benefit to the consolidated 
entity. Gains and losses between the carrying 
amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to 
profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve 
relating to the item disposed of is transferred 
directly to retained profits. 

Intangible assets 

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business 
combination, other than goodwill, are initially 
measured at their fair value at the date of the 
acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately 
are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life 
intangible assets are not amortised and are 
subsequently measured at cost less any 
impairment. Finite life intangible assets are 
subsequently measured at cost less amortisation 
and any impairment.  

The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss 
arising from the derecognition of intangible assets 
are measured as the difference between net 
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of 
the intangible asset. The method and useful lives 
of finite life intangible assets are reviewed 
annually. Changes in the expected pattern of 
consumption or useful life are accounted for 

prospectively by changing the amortisation 
method or period. 

Research and development 
Research costs are expensed in the period in 
which they are incurred. Development costs are 
capitalised when it is probable that the project 
will be a success considering its commercial & 
technical feasibility, the consolidated entity is able 
to use or sell the asset, has sufficient resources, & 
intent to complete the development & its costs 
can be measured reliably. Capitalised 
development costs are amortised on a straight-
line basis over the period of their expected 
benefit, being their finite life of 10 years. 

Patents and trademarks 
Significant costs associated with patents and 
trademarks are deferred and amortised on a 
straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 20 years. 
Capitalisation commences on application for the 
patents or trademark. Amortisation commences 
once the patent or trademark has been granted 
over the remaining useful life of the patent. The 
useful life is taken as 20 years from the date of 
application. Patents and trademarks are sought 
globally in various jurisdictions. If a patent or 
trademark is unsuccessful the costs are then fully 
written off. All patents and trademarks once 
granted have an annuity commitment over the 
term of their life and these are detailed in note 24. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an 
indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation 
and are tested annually for impairment or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-
financial assets are reviewed for impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for 
the amount by which the asset's carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair 
value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The 
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated 
future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-
tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

26 

 
 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

that do not have independent cash flows are 
grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 

Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and 
services provided to the consolidated entity prior 
to the end of the financial year and which are 
unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are 
measured at amortised cost and are not 
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are 
usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Employee benefits 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service 
leave not expected to be settled within 12 months 
of the reporting date is recognised in non-current 
liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right 
to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is 
measured at current value and is not discounted 
if the effect of discounting is immaterial. 
Consideration is given to expected future wage 
and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures and periods of service.  

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

Defined contribution superannuation expense 
Contributions to defined contribution 
superannuation plans are expensed in the period 
in which they are incurred. 

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits 
are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, 
or options over shares, which are provided to 
employees in exchange for the rendering of 
services.  

The costs of equity-settled transactions are 
measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is 
independently determined using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model that takes into 

account the exercise price, the term of the 
option, the impact of dilution, the share price at 
grant date and expected price volatility of the 
underlying share, the expected dividend yield 
and the risk free interest rate for the term of the 
option, together with non-vesting conditions that 
do not determine whether the consolidated entity 
receives the services that entitle the employees to 
receive payment. No account is taken of any 
other vesting conditions. 

The costs 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 consolidated entity or employee, the failure to 
satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If 
the condition is not within the control of the 
consolidated entity 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, it is treated 
as if it has 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

were a modification. 

of new shares or options are shown in equity as a 
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

Fair value measurement 

Dividends 

When an asset or liability, financial or non-
financial, is measured at fair value for recognition 
or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on 
the price that would be received to sell an asset 
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the 
measurement date and assumes that the 
transaction will take place either in the principle 
market or in the absence of a principal market in 
the most advantageous market. 

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

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

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

Issued capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue 

Dividends are recognised when declared during 
the financial year and no longer at the discretion 
of the Company. 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing 
the profit attributable to the shareholders of the 
Company, 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. 

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 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 GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
tax authority.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, 
estimates and assumptions 

The preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements requires management to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts in the consolidated 
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, believed 
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 consolidated entity measures the cost of 
equity-settled transactions with employees by 
reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are 
granted. The fair value is determined by using the 
Black-Scholes model taking into account the 
terms and conditions upon which the instruments 
were granted. The accounting estimates and 
assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based 
payments would have no impact on the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next 
annual reporting period but may impact profit or 
loss and equity. 

Provision for impairment of receivables 

The provision for impairment of receivables 
assessment requires a degree of estimation and 
judgement. The level of provision is assessed by 
taking into account the recent sales experience, 
the ageing of receivables, historical collection 
rates and specific knowledge of the individual 
debtor’s financial position. 

Impairment of work in progress 

Work in progress comprises patient cells taken via 
biopsy and cryopreserved awaiting implantation 
at the patients discretion at a future date. 

Impairment of work in progress assessment 
requires a degree of estimation and judgement. 
While the patient cells held can be preserved 
indefinitely the company has estimated that if the 
patient has not proceeded with implantation 
within 2 years from biopsy, resulting in a sale of the 
product, the value of the work in progress is 
impaired to nil.    

Estimation of useful lives of assets 

The consolidated entity determines the estimated 
useful lives and related depreciation and 
amortisation charges for its property, plant and 
equipment and finite life intangible assets. The 
useful lives could change significantly as a result 
of technical innovations or some other event. The 
depreciation and amortisation charge will 
increase where the useful lives are less than 
previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete 
or non-strategic assets that have been 
abandoned or sold will be written off or written 
down. The useful life of patents and trademarks is 
based on the period of the life of the patent or 
trademark, which is usually 20 years. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than 
goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 

The consolidated entity assesses impairment of 
non-financial assets other than goodwill and other 
indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting 
date by evaluating conditions specific to the 
consolidated entity and to the particular asset 
that may lead to impairment. If an impairment 
trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset 
is determined. This involves value-in-use 
calculations, which incorporate a number of key 
estimates and assumptions. Other qualitative 
measures are also considered in the assessment of 
impairment. 

Employee benefits provision 

As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee 
benefits expected to be settled more than 12 
months from the reporting date is recognised and 
measured at current value and is not discounted 
if the effect of discounting is immaterial. In 
determining the present value of the liability, 
estimates of attrition rates and pay increases 
through promotion and inflation have been taken 
into account.

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months 
The current provision for employee benefits includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have 
completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata 
payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the consolidated entity 
does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the 
consolidated entity does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require 
payment within the next 12 months.

Note 16. Equity – issued capital (continued) 

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

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company 
was seen as value adding relative to the current company's share price at the time of the investment. The 
consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to 
integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

Note 19. Financial instruments (continued) 

(c)  Credit risk 

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. 
The consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to each class of financial asset is the 
carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Statement of Financial Position.  The consolidated entity 
has in place policies that aim to ensure that counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit 
quality financial institutions and that the amount of credit exposure to one financial institution is limited as far 
as is considered commercially appropriate. Since the consolidated entity trades only with recognised third 
parties, there is no requirement for collateral. 

(d) 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient 
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring 
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the company’s reputation. 

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

General  

The Board of Directors of Orthocell Limited (the 
“Company”) is responsible for the corporate 
governance of the Company. The Board guides and 
monitors the business and affairs of the Company on 
behalf of the shareholders by whom they are 
elected and to whom they are accountable. 

This statement sets out the main corporate 
governance practices in place throughout the 
financial year in accordance with 3rd edition of the 
ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and 
Best Practice Recommendations. 

Further information about the Company’s corporate 
governance practices is set out on the Company’s 
website at www.orthocell.com.au. 

This Statement was approved by the Board of 
Directors and is current as at 28 August 2019. 

PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR 
MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT 

ASX Recommendation 1.1: a listed entity should 
establish the functions reserved to the board and 
those delegated to senior executives and disclose 
those functions. 

The Board has adopted a formal charter that details 
the respective board and management functions 
and responsibilities.  A copy of this board charter is 
available in the corporate governance section of 
the Company's website at www.orthocell.com.au. 

ASX Recommendation 1.2: a listed entity should 
undertake appropriate checks before appointing a 
person, or putting forward to security holders a 
candidate for election as a director and provide 
security holders with all material information relevant 
to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a 
director. 

The Company did not elect any new Directors 
during the year. Information in relation to Directors 
seeking reappointment is set out in the Directors 
report and Notice of Annual General Meeting. 

ASX Recommendation 1.3: a listed entity should 
have a written agreement with each Director and 
senior executive setting out the terms of their 
appointment. 

The Company has in place written agreements with 
each Director. 

ASX Recommendation 1.4: the company secretary 
of a listed company should be accountable directly 
to the board, through the chair, on all matters to do 
with the proper functioning of the board. 

The Board Charter provides for the Company 
Secretary to be accountable directly to the board 
through the Chair. 

ASX Recommendation 1.5: a listed entity should: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

have a diversity policy which includes the 
requirement for the board to set measurable 
objectives for achieving gender diversity and 
assess annually the objectives and the entity’s 
progress to achieving them; 

disclose the policy or a summary of it; 

disclose the measurable objectives and 
progress towards achieving them; and 

disclose the respective proportions of men 
and women on the board and at each level 
of management and the company as a 
whole. 

The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy which 
is available in the corporate governance section of 
the Company's website at www.orthocell.com.au. 

The Board considers that, due to the size, nature and 
stage of development of the Company, setting 
measurable objectives for the Diversity Policy at this 
time is not appropriate. The Board will consider 
setting measurable objectives as the Company 
increases in size and complexity. 

As at 30 June 2019, the Company does not have 
any female Board members (2018: nil). The 
Company has 1 female (33%) in senior management 
positions, (2018: 1, 33%).  Of the balance of the 
Company’s employees 76% are female (2018: 74%). 
59% (2018: 56%) of the Company’s employees in 
total, including Directors, are female. 

ASX Recommendation 1.6: a listed entity should 
disclose the process for evaluating the performance 
of the board, its committees and individual directors 
and whether a performance evaluation was carried 
out during the reporting period in accordance with 
that process. 

The Chair has the overall responsibility for evaluating 
the Board, any committees established and, when 
appropriate, individual directors on an annual basis.  

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

52 

 
 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The method and scope of the performance 
evaluation will be set by the Chair and which may 
include a Board self-assessment checklist to be 
completed by each Director. The Chairperson may 
also use an independent adviser to assist in the 
review if deemed appropriate. 

A performance review was undertaken during the 
reporting period. 

ASX Recommendation 1.7: a listed entity should 
have and disclose a process for periodically 
evaluating the performance of its senior executives 
and disclose in relation to each reporting period 
where a performance evaluation was undertaken in 
accordance with a process. 

The Managing Director reviews the performance of 
the senior executives.  The Managing Director 
conducts a performance evaluation of the senior 
executives by meeting individually with each senior 
executive on a yearly basis to review performance 
against the senior executive’s responsibilities as 
outlined in his or her contract with the Company and 
against  key performance indicators (KPI’s) set for 
the senior executive set by the Managing Director or 
the Board. 

The performance of executive Directors, including 
the Managing Director, will be reviewed by the 
Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration 
Committee will conduct a performance evaluation 
of the Executive Directors annually to review 
performance against KPIs set for the previous year, 
and to establish KPIs for the forthcoming year. 

Performance reviews were undertaken during the 
reporting period. 

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE 

ASX Recommendation 2.1: The board of a listed 
entity should establish a nomination committee: 

• 

• 

• 

with at least three members the majority of 
which are independent directors 

chaired by an independent Director; and 

disclose the charter of the committee, the 
members of the committee and the number 
of times the committee met throughout the 
period and member attendance at those 
meetings. 

Given the present size and complexity of the 
Company the Board has not constituted a 

Nomination Committee with the full Board carrying 
out the role of a Nomination Committee. 

ASX Recommendation 2.2: a listed entity should 
have and disclose a board skills matrix setting out 
the mix of skills and diversity that the board currently 
has or is looking to achieve in its membership. 

The Board has established a skills matrix. On a 
collective basis the Board has the following skills: 

Strategic expertise - ability to identify and critically 
assess strategic opportunities and threats and 
develop strategies. 

Specific Industry knowledge - Experience in 
regenerative medicine or other Biotech or related 
sector. 

International experience – members of the Board 
have an understanding the complexities of 
operating in foreign jurisdictions, including a basic 
knowledge of the general corporate, fiscal and 
labour laws and regulations. 

Accounting and finance - members of the Board 
have experience in accounting and finance or the 
ability to read and comprehend the company’s 
accounts, financial material presented to the board, 
financial reporting requirements and an 
understanding of corporate finance. 

Risk management - Identify and monitor risks to 
which the Company is, or has the potential to be 
exposed to.

the board to be independent directors and provide 
details in relation to the length of service of each 
Director. 

During the year ended 30 June 2019 Professor Lars 
Lidgren was considered to be an independent 
Director of the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Mr Qi Xiao Zhou was a substantial shareholder of the 
Company until 28 December 2018 from which time 
he has been considered an independent Director. 

Dr Stewart Washer and Mr Paul Anderson are 
Executive Directors and are not considered to be 
independent Directors as they are employed in an 
executive capacity. 

Mr Matthew Callahan is a founder and director of a 
substantial shareholder and as such is not 
considered to be an independent director during 
the year ended 30 June 2019. Mr Callahan ceased 
to be a director on 23 August 2019. 

The appointment date of Directors is set out in the 
Directors Report forming part of the Annual Financial 
Statements. 

ASX Recommendation 2.4: the majority of the board 
of a listed entity should be independent directors. 

The Board does not have a majority of directors who 
are independent.   

The Board considers that the composition of the 
Board is adequate for the Company’s current size 
and operations, and includes an appropriate mix of 
skills and expertise, relevant to the Company’s 
business. These skills include members with significant 
experience as directors of public companies, 
relevant experience in the management and 
growth of businesses together with extensive 
experience in the industry in which Orthocell 
operates.   

The Board will review its composition as the 
Company’s circumstances change.  

ASX Recommendation 2.5: The Chair of a listed entity 
should be an independent director and, in 
particular, should not be the same person as the 
CEO of the entity. 

The Executive Chair of the Board is Dr Stewart 
Washer.  The board considers that given its stage of 
development it is beneficial that Dr Washer is an 
Executive. The Board will consider the appointment 
of an independent chair as the Company increases 
in size and complexity. 

The Managing Director is Paul Anderson. 

ASX Recommendation 2.6: a listed entity should 
have a program for inducting new directors and 
provide appropriate professional development 
opportunities.

or a summary of the code. 

The Company has established a Code of Conduct 
as to the practices necessary to maintain 
confidence in the Company’s integrity, the practices 
necessary to take into account its legal obligations 
and the reasonable expectations of its stakeholders 
and the responsibility and accountability of 
individuals for reporting and investigating reports of 
unethical practices. 

A copy of the Company’s code of conduct is 
available in the corporate governance section of 
the Company's website at www.orthocell.com.au.

which are independent directors 

chaired by an independent Director; and 

disclose the charter of the committee, the 
members of the committee and the number 
of times the committee met throughout the 
period and member attendance at those 
meetings.

the financial records of the entity have been 
properly maintained and that  the financial 
statements comply with the appropriate accounting 
standards and give a true and fair view of the 
financial position and performance of the entity and 
that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a 
sound system of risk management and internal 
control which is operating effectively. 

The Board has received the assurance required by 
ASX Recommendation 4.2 in respect of the financial 
statements for the half year ended 31 December 
2018 and the full year ended 30 June 2019 from the 
Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer. 
Given the size and nature of the Company’s 
operations the Board has not received the 
assurance in respect of the quarterly cash flow 
statements believing that the provision of the 
assurance for the half and full year financial 
statements is sufficient. 

ASX Recommendation 4.3: a listed entity should 
ensure that the external auditor attends its Annual 
General Meeting and is available to answer 
questions from security holders relevant to the audit.
