During the financial year the principal continuing
activities of the consolidated entity consisted of
the development and commercialisation of cell
therapies and biological medical devices.

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
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.
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.
CelGro®
Soft tissue reconstruction
platform medical device
During the 2020 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 and use in centres of
excellence
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.
Whilst COVID-19 restrictions inhibited dental
procedures during the 2nd half of FY20, the
Company was able to continue its clinician
advocacy program through the delivery and
sponsorship of dental implant and guided bone
regeneration webinars, in place of in person
workshops and symposia attendance. For
example, the Company sponsored a dental
industry webinar, attended by 2,100 physicians
and industry personnel in the EU/UK on "The New
Normal - Dental Response to COVID-19”. The
Company also presented at The City of London
Dental School webinar on “Osteoconductive
Collagen Membrane for Guided Bone
Regeneration”.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Company has confirmed that dental surgeons
have commenced return to work in the EU and
the UK and is in the final stages of recruiting an
experienced in-country (EU/UK) dental product
distribution management expert to improve the
representation of the product, engage higher
quality distributors, and assist servicing key opinion
leaders to grow product use of CelGro in dental
guided bone regeneration procedures.
Expanding target market regulatory approvals
During the year Orthocell submitted its application
to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
seeking 510(k) clearance for marketing its CelGro
product for dental guided bone and soft tissue
regeneration applications. The US 510(k)
submission follows positive results from its US
regulatory study showing CelGro is effective in
facilitating bone regeneration when used in
conjunction with bone substitute and a dental
implant. The US FDA provides 90-180 days of their
resources and time to evaluate each submission.
Orthocell is working towards US 510(k) clearance
by 2Q CY2021 to allow time for interactions with
the FDA regarding the submission.
The US 510(k) submission compliments Orthocell’s
current “in progress” regulatory submission to the
Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) in
Australia for approval to market CelGro® for
dental bone and soft tissue regeneration
applications. The Company has held progress
discussions with the TGA regarding its submission
and remains on track for Australian market
approval in CY 2020. The Company is now
finalising plans for introduction to the Australian
market and to grow product awareness and use
in key accounts.
Engaging Partners - The Company continues to
progress discussions with potential global partners
to manage the distribution and marketing of
CelGro® for dental bone and soft tissue repair
procedures. With scalable manufacturing in
place, EU regulatory approval, AUS and US
submissions in progress, and industry leading
brand ambassadors using the product, Orthocell
is well positioned to execute on its partnering
strategy and to generate revenue.
CelGro® Nerve Regeneration -
Positive CelGro® nerve regeneration
results in quadriplegic patients
The Company is nearing completion
of its nerve regeneration trial with
one patient remaining to complete full enrolment.
In October, 2019 Orthocell announced interim
clinical results for the use of CelGro for enhancing
repair of peripheral nerves of the first twelve (of
twenty) study participants, 12 months after
treatment, involving twenty-five nerve transfers.
Participants had nerve injuries of varying severity,
from peripheral nerve injury (3 patients), to more
complex injuries of the brachial plexus and spinal
cord (9 patients in total), resulting in impaired use
of the affected limbs and in the more severe
cases, quadriplegia. Results at 12 months after
treatment with CelGro included:
● 96% of nerve repairs restored voluntary
movement to previously paralysed muscles;
● All quadriplegic patients increased movement
and power of affected muscles following
CelGro nerve regeneration treatment;
● 86% of patients who required prescription
medication (including opioid-based
medications) for chronic nerve pain were able
to significantly reduce or cease their use; and
● Nerve repair with CelGro resulted in
predictable and consistent restoration of
muscle function.
Results showed that nerve repair using CelGro
resulted in improvements in muscle power at 12
months that were comparable to what would
normally be expected at 24 months with other
methods. The Company believes the consistent
and predictable outcomes of nerve repair with
CelGro, achieved in a shorter time, will empower
surgeons to improve the lives of patients with
these complex injuries.
Target market regulatory submissions
Orthocell is leveraging the positive clinical results
and is implementing regulatory programs to
achieve marketing approval in the AUS and US.
On the 30th July 2020, the Company submitted an
application to the TGA for approval to market
CelGro for peripheral nerve regeneration
applications in Australia. This was a very
important milestone for the Company as it
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
continues to commercialise the CelGro collagen
medical device platform and prepare for entry to
strategic markets.
Commencement of the US regulatory study to
support a US 510(k) submission for clearance to
market CelGro® for peripheral nerve regeneration
applications was delayed due to COVID-19
restrictions. The Company has been advised that
restrictions on undertaking research have been
lifted at the University of Western Sydney, where
the Company is conducting the US regulatory
study, and that surgical procedures can
commence in early September. The Company
will notify the ASX when surgical procedures
commence.

n
Orthocell announced final results from
patients who completed the CelGro® Rotator
Cuff tendon regeneration clinical trial. A review of
patients who completed the trial confirmed all
patients achieved a successful tendon repair with
no revision surgeries reported.
Rotator cuff tears are a common source of
debilitating shoulder pain, reduced strength and
general weakness, with more than 500,000 rotator
cuff surgical procedures performed annually in
the US alone. Data presented at the American
Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual
Meeting in 2015 found that, in a series of 500
patients, large rotator cuff repairs regularly tear
again at a rate of up to 57%. To address the high
surgical revision rates, Orthocell designed CelGro
with handling characteristics to assist surgeons
perform reconstructive procedures while creating
a unique healing environment to strengthen the
repair and reduce the risk of re-tear.
The Company has progressed implementation of
its regulatory strategy to achieve US and AUS
approval to market CelGro for tendon repair
procedures. The Company is working towards a
US FDA pre-submission meeting to confirm
regulatory approval requirements and a TGA
submission for approval to market the CelGro
product for tendon repair procedures in AUS.
CelGro® Patent protection secured globally
During the 2020 financial year, the Company was
granted divisional patents in the US, Canada and
Japan for its CelGro collagen medical device
platform. The patents cover the method of
manufacture of novel bio-scaffolds, method of
combining cells and scaffolds as an aid in the
surgical repair of soft tissue injuries and a potential
breakthrough CelGro® collagen rope device to
enhance the surgical repair of Anterior Cruciate
Ligament injuries.
Orthocell has a strong CelGro patent portfolio
with granted patents in all major jurisdictions
including the US, Europe, Australia and New
Zealand, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Canada
and Singapore.
Ortho-ATI®
Cell therapy to regenerate
damaged tendon tissue
Ortho-ATI: progressing our
collaboration with Johnson
& Johnson
The Company has
completed recruitment to
the Ortho-ATI® shoulder tendon study in
collaboration with DePuy Synthes Products, part of
the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices
Companies (“Sponsor”). The Company has held a
progress meetings with the Sponsor covering
matters relevant to the status of the trial and
remains focused on completing the trial and
providing study outcomes to the Sponsor.
US FDA clinical development plan and regulatory
pathway
The Company has engaged Greenleaf Health
(“Greenleaf”), a US based specialist regulatory
consulting firm with particular expertise in cell and
gene therapy product development and US FDA
regulatory submissions and interactions. Greenleaf
were engaged to review the Company’s clinical
development plan and the draft US study
protocol required to progress commercialisation in
the US and assess the applicability of Ortho-ATI for
FDA expedited programs and priority review
designations. Whilst the engagement of
Greenleaf has delayed submission of the
Investigation New Drug (“IND”) and Regenerative
Medicine Advanced Therapy (“RMAT”)
application, it will ensure the IND submission is

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
tailored to the current regulatory guidelines and
positions the Company to leverage the strategic
benefits provided by applicable expedited
programs and priority review designations.
RMAT designation provides increased meeting
opportunities with the FDA and ongoing guidance
and support with regards to market entry
applications and approvals. The Company
remains focused on submitting the RMAT
applications and is finalising submission
documents.
Successful rotator cuff regeneration publication
Orthocell announced the publication of a
successful case study focusing on Ortho-ATI
therapy to treat chronic degenerative rotator cuff
tendinopathy.
The case study was published by leading sports
and exercise physicians A/Professor Jane
Fitzpatrick, Dr Bonnie McRae and Dr Hussain Khan.
This case report was designed to assess the role
and effectiveness of Ortho-ATI as a minimally
invasive cellular injection therapy to treat chronic
degenerative rotator cuff tendinopathy in a 77
year-old male.
The patient suffered from chronic left shoulder
pain for over three years affecting his ability to
work, play sport and frequently kept him awake
at night.
The patient underwent numerous conservative
treatment options including physiotherapy,
injection therapy (prolotherapy) without success.
The patient’s condition was confirmed by MRI of
the shoulder which noted significant pathology,
including severe supraspinatus tendinosis. Pain
and function improvement, including a return to
gardening, was reported by the patient at the six-
week post-implantation review.
At 8 months post treatment, and a physiotherapy
led strength-based exercise program, the patient
reported a return to sleeping normally, gardening
and golf without pain.
At 12 months, the patient was completely
symptom free, had a complete range of
movement and was even able to do 30 push-ups
every day without concern.
A structural improvement in the tendon was
confirmed by repeat MRI.
Ortho-ATI® shows 87.5% 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 2019 study indicated 87.5% of patient
satisfaction 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 January 2020, the Company received a
Research and Development (R&D) tax incentive
cash refund of $2,904,546 for the financial year
2018/2019.
In December 2019 Orthocell completed a
placement of 26,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.50
per share to raise $13,000,000 before costs. This
was followed by a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”)
which raised a further $1,423,000. Demand for the
placement and SPP was well in excess of funds
sought with support from existing shareholders,
new institutions and other sophisticated investors.
The funds raised, in combination with cash
reserves, will be used to accelerate regulatory
approvals and commercialisation of CelGro for
bone, tendon and nerve regeneration into key
markets following recent successful clinical results
and growing demand from industry leading
clinicians and potential partners for superior
regenerative medicine medical devices. In
addition, funds raised will be utilised to advance
the development and commercialization of
Ortho-ATI, support continued business

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.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020
9
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
• Where appropriate, establish performance
hurdles in relation to variable executive
remuneration.
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
16. Matters subsequent to the end of the
• none of the services undermine the general
financial year
The impact of the Coronavirus ('COVID-19')
pandemic is ongoing for the consolidated entity
up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to
estimate the potential impact, positive or
negative, after the reporting date. The situation is
rapidly developing and is dependent on
measures imposed by the Australian Government
and other countries, such as maintaining social
distancing requirements, quarantine, travel
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may
be provided.
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30
June 2020 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
22 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 20 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
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.
18. Officers of the Company who are
former audit partners of PKF Perth
There are no officers of the Company who are
former audit partners of PKF Perth.
19. Auditor's independence declaration
A copy of the auditor's independence
declaration as required under section 307C of the
Corporations Act 2001 is set out on the following
page.
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

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 16 leases
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16
from 1 July 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117
'Leases' and for lessees eliminates the
classifications of operating leases and finance
leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of
low-value assets, right-of-use assets and
corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in
the statement of financial position. Straight-line
operating lease expense recognition is replaced
with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use
assets (included in operating costs) and an
interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities
(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 improve as
the operating expense is now replaced by interest
expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For
classification within the statement of cash flows,
the interest portion is disclosed in operating
activities and the principal portion of the lease
payments are separately disclosed in financing
activities. For lessor accounting, the standard
does not substantially change how a lessor
accounts for leases.
When adopting AASB 16 from 1 July 2019, the
consolidated entity has applied the following
practical expedients:
applying a single discount rate to the portfolio
of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
accounting for leases with a remaining lease
term of 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-
term leases;
excluding any initial direct costs from the
measurement of right-of-use assets;
using hindsight in determining the lease term
when the contract contains options to extend
or terminate the lease; and
not apply AASB 16 to contracts that were not
previously identified as containing a lease.
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.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020
23
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED 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.
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 27.
Going Concern
The consolidated entity has net assets of
$20,903,481 (2019: $10,724,462) as at 30 June 2020
and incurred a loss of $6,151,029 (2019:
$5,852,214) and net operating cash outflow of
$5,256,871 (2019: $4,180,466) for the year ended
30 June 2020.
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.
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 and Orthocell
UK Ltd as at 30 June 2020. Orthocell Limited and
its subsidiaries together are referred to in these
consolidated financial statements as the
'consolidated entity'.
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
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
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
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
Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the
allocation of resources to operating segments
and assessing their performance.
Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars, which is Orthocell
Limited's functional and presentation currency,
except where stated otherwise.
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
“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.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or
when the right to receive payment is established.
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 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
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020
25
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
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
expected credit losses. Trade receivables are
generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be
uncollectable are written off by reducing the
carrying amount directly. A provision for
impairment of trade receivables is raised when
there is objective evidence that the 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.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
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, its 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.
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.
annually. Changes in the expected pattern of
consumption or useful life are accounted for
prospectively by changing the amortisation
method or period.
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 consolidated entity
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 re-
measurement of lease liabilities.
The consolidated entity 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.
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
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 10 years
for Trademarks and 20 years for Patents.
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 10 years for Trademarks and
20 years for Patents 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 25.
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
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020
28
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
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.
Lease liabilities
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 consolidated entity'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. The variable lease payments that do
not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in
the period in which they are incurred.
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.
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
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020
29
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
cancelled and new award is treated as if they
were a modification.
Fair value measurement
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
of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Dividends
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
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
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.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised
net of the amount of associated GST, unless the
GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed
net of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the
tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting
period ended 30 June 2020. The consolidated entity has not assessed of the impact of these new or
amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, except as noted.

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,
directors and consultants 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 expected credit losses
The provision for expected credit losses 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.
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
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2020
32
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
consolidated entity'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
consolidated entity 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 consolidated
entity 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.
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.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the
impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic has had, or may have, on the
consolidated entity based on known information.
This consideration extends to the nature of the
products and services offered, customers, supply
chain, staffing and geographic regions in which
the consolidated entity operates. Other than as
addressed in specific notes, there does not
currently appear to be either any significant
impact upon the financial statements or any
significant uncertainties with respect to events or
conditions which may impact the consolidated
entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or
subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic.

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 majority of employee benefit amounts are 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.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the
Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary
shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. The
Company does not have any externally imposed capital requirements. On a show of hands every member
present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one
vote.
Capital Management Policy
The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going
concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain
an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
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 20. Financial instruments
(a)
Financial risk management
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise cash. The main purpose of these financial
instruments is to fund expenditure on the Company’s operations. The Company has various other financial
assets & liabilities such as trade receivables & trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, &
has been throughout the period under review, the Company’s policy that no trading in financial instruments
shall be undertaken. Details of the significant accounting policies & methods adopted, including the
criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are
recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset & financial liability are disclosed in Note 1.
(b)
Interest rate risk
At reporting date the Company had the following financial assets exposed to interest rate risk:
Cash(1)
20,441,616
11,236,299
(1)
The weighted average interest rate of cash is 0.11% (2019: 0.44%)
(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.

Sensitivity analysis

profit/(loss) and equity would have been affected as shown. The analysis has been performed on the same
basis for 2019 and 2020. None of the Company’s financial liabilities are interest bearing.
