MESSAGE

Oventus Medical Limited (ASX: OVN) has commercialised a range of oral devices to provide clinically 
superior outcomes for patients in the fast-growing markets of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and 
snoring. Additional complementary products are being developed that are designed to provide a viable 
alternative for people that are currently prescribed a mask connected to a Positive Airway Pressure 
(PAP) machine. 

WHAT IS OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNOEA?

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea – or OSA – is the most common type of ‘sleep apnoea’.  

It affects around 34% of men and 17% of women1.

OSA impacts the way people breathe when they are sleeping, where breathing is briefly 

interrupted or becomes very shallow during sleep. It occurs when the soft tissue in the back 

of the throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway, often causing snoring as well.

CHANGI NG
LIVES

Dear  Shareholders,  we  are  delighted  to  present  Oventus  Medical’s  annual  report  for  the  2017 
financial year. 

The theme of this year’s report is Changing Treatment, Changing Lives, which speaks to the positive 
impact that the Oventus Airway range of oral appliances for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) has made 
on patients using our O2Vent appliances. During the year in review, we received consistent feedback 
from individual patients and via our clinical trials that these new treatments for OSA really do have the 
ability to significantly change lives.

Indeed on all fronts, it has been a productive and exciting year as we have worked to enhance 
and commercialise our proprietary product range. The year culminated with the signing of a 
key manufacturing and distribution agreement with the world-leading Modern Dental Group, 
designed to enable the treatment of patients through Modern’s global dental channel and 
consequently ramp up Oventus’ product sales.

Our technology is unique in what is already a large and lucrative market with just 20% of patients 
in care. Our O2Vent oral appliances are the only technology on the market that address resistance 
and obstructions at all levels of the airway to enhance airflow and, as a solution that is well-
tolerated by patients, improve treatment outcomes. As such, our O2Vent oral appliance devices 
are distinct from our competitors in this large and lucrative field. 

SLEEP – A LARGE AND GROWING MARKET

Sleep disorders are a large and often undiagnosed problem across the globe. We know that 
sleep apnoea affects between 4-9%4 of the global population. In the USA alone, there were 
estimated to be 22 million5 sleep apnoea sufferers in 2015. The global market is expected to 
be worth about US$5.61 billion by 20206 – and that is acknowledging that only 20% of sufferers 
are currently in care. On average, these numbers are growing by a 15-20% compound annual 
growth rate, making the market opportunity to assist patients enormous. 

THE PROBLEM WITH EXISTING TREATMENT OPTIONS

We know that around 80% of patients are out of care. While some are yet to be diagnosed, 
many sufferers have fallen out of care because of their inability to tolerate the existing 
standard of care treatment called CPAP – or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP 
requires patients to wear a mask to bed which is designed to keep the airways open while they 
sleep, to prevent them from having “sleep events” (a phrase that refers to what happens when 
patients stop breathing whilst sleeping).

When used well, CPAP devices are tremendously effective. The trouble is that 50%7 of patients 
find they can’t tolerate them and they fall out of treatment after a year. The issue with CPAP 
occurs as patients can find it hard to adhere to wearing a facial mask, and have discomfort 
associated with high operating pressures which are necessary to keep the breathing airway open.

MESSAGE

OUR O2VENT ORAL APPLIANCE

KEY AGREEMENTS TO LEAD GLOBAL GROWTH

Our appliances are built with the patient in mind; each O2Vent 
is custom fitted and 3D printed for the comfort of patients. 
This negates the need for surgical interventions and other less 
tolerable alternatives. 

While we announced several important agreements in FY17, 
key to accelerating sales in 2018 was the global distribution 
agreement we executed with Modern Dental Group right at the 
close of FY17 in June. 

The O2Vent incorporates Oventus’ proprietary airway technology 
which allows patients to breathe through the device airway in the 
mouth, delivering air to the back of the tongue via a channel while 
also bringing forward the lower jaw to create space in the throat 
area. The appliance acts like a second nose and reduces negative 
pressure swings and addresses multiple levels of obstruction while 
breathing. Additionally the O2Vent treatment platform is being 
adapted as a mask-less and ultralow pressure CPAP interface, 
making CPAP treatment more tolerable for those that require it. 
The O2Vent is unlike other oral appliances which only bring the 
lower jaw forward and deal with tongue based obstructions.

The O2Vent is a cost effective and patient-friendly solution which 
is relatively easy to access and can deliver immediate relief 
to patients. For many of our patients who have struggled for 
years to find an acceptable and tolerable treatment, the O2Vent 
appliances have been life changing. 

We believe our product range can deliver a superior solution for 
patients that are currently in care and, and those who are out of 
care. As we move into FY18, Oventus is positioning itself to begin 
capturing greater share of those two customer segments, with 
the support of strong distribution relationships and an expanded 
product range.

Modern is the world’s largest dental prosthetic device provider. 
The company is based in Hong Kong and listed on the Hong Kong 
Stock Exchange, with over 70 sales and customer service centres 
across major markets such as North America, Europe, Australia 
and the Greater China regions. We are now preparing to launch 
our range with Modern Dental, and we believe our collaboration 
with this group will provide us with a strong foothold in the US, 
where it is our exclusive partner, as well as into other geographic 
markets including Australia. 

The agreement between Oventus and Modern Dental is 
significant. Under the arrangement, Modern will take global 
ownership for distributing Oventus’ oral devices through their 
dental channels. All sales, marketing and distribution of Oventus’ 
devices will become the responsibility of Modern. 

THE O 2VENT IS A COST 
EFFECTIVE SOLUTION 
WHICH IS EASY TO   
ACCESS AND CAN DELIVER 
IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO 
PATIENTS

CHANGI NG
LIVES

For Oventus, this tremendous arrangement enables us to 
direct our limited resources towards supporting a large and 
very engaged channel partner. The Oventus team will supply 
Modern with training, marketing assistance, product and close 
support to facilitate the successful sale into Modern’s global 
dental channel. We have also reached a cost effective co-
manufacturing agreement with Modern. 

We continue to develop in-house ways in which we can more 
quickly reach sufferers of OSA, and will have another innovation 
in market in 2018 through the development of a temporary 
‘boil and bite’ O2Vent device. This would see sufferers visit 
a sleep clinician or pharmacist and leave with a trial device. 
This could be while a custom-made, more expensive device 
is being manufactured or before committing to investing in a 
titanium custom-made version of the product. We expect this 
will translate to more sales of the full product over time, while 
providing an entry-level product for patients who need to be 
convinced of the merits of this new approach.

TAPPING INTO THE CPAP MARKET

Through another product innovation, our O2Vent oral appliance 
range will importantly also have a role in the burgeoning 
CPAP market. 

We are in the process of developing an Oventus branded “PAP 
connection”, a device which can provide additional airway 
support when connected to one of our oral appliances. We are 
on track to file for regulatory clearance for this exciting product 
in the first half of calendar 2018. 

Once in market, the Oventus CPAP device will enable patients 
to access the benefits of conventional CPAP technology without 
the need to wear a facial mask, by connecting the CPAP device 
to the O2Vent. The CPAP connection is also able to operate 
at significantly lower pressure thereby creating a far more 
comfortable and tolerable experience for patients. 

MEETING REGULATORY AND CLINICAL MILESTONES

An important milestone was met immediately after the financial 
year end whereby the USA FDA cleared our O2Vent winged device 
for sale and marketing approval in the US market. This device is 
also listed in Australia on the Australian Register of Therapeutic 
Goods (ARTG).

We continue to build clinical evidence to validate our O2Vent 
device and CPAP interface. A number of studies are ongoing and 
we expect to release results later this year and early next year.

FUNDING ACTIVITIES AND INVESTOR RELATIONS

Oventus listed on the ASX in July 2016 with a fully subscribed initial 
public offering. We were pleased to have the opportunity to meet 
with investors in both 1:1 meeting settings and via conferences.

In June 2017, we announced a $7 million capital raise, and we 
are greatly appreciative to our shareholders for their support 
in this process. This capital will be used to accelerate sales 
alongside Modern Dental Group, complete R&D for key products, 
progress clinical trials and secure regulatory approvals. The 
culmination of our efforts throughout the year puts us in a 
strong position to achieve key milestones ahead of us, including 
becoming cash flow positive in 2019.

We would like to thank fellow Board members, our founder and 
Clinical Director, Dr Chris Hart, and the entire Oventus team for 
their dedication and hard work throughout the year. We would 
also like to thank our shareholders for their continued support, 
and we look forward to engaging with you in the year ahead while 
we continue along our path to changing treatments and changing 
lives for the patients we serve. 

Yours sincerely,

We believe the addition of a CPAP connector into our range 
places Oventus in a unique position to meet the needs of 
patients across the spectrum of oral appliances and existing 
CPAP devices who have mild to severe sleep apnoea.

OVERVIEW

CLINICAL TRIALS AND PEER REVIEW

Significant clinical progress was made in validating the benefit of the Oventus Airway Technology and 
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) connection, with clinical trial sites set up in Brisbane, Perth 
and Sydney. These trials will assist Oventus’ marketing efforts, particularly into the sleep clinician channel, 
and provide further clinical validation.

•   26th July 2016 – Oventus announced the recruitment of its first patient for its clinical trial for the O2Vent T 

to assess comfort, safety and efficacy (“Brisbane study”). The trial will enrol 40 patients. 

•   19th July 2016 – Oventus announced it had exhibited at the American Academy of Dental SLEEP and 

SLEEP medicine conference in Denver.

•   24th January 2017 – Oventus announced results of its pilot study for its O2Vent and strapless interface 

using CPAP (“NeuRa study”). 

 A 78% reduction in respiratory events was found for the O2Vent, treatment outcomes improved with the 
addition of the Oventus airway into an oral appliance and when connected with a CPAP device it was 
found that operating pressure could be reduced by 66%.

•   1st May 2017 – Oventus announced an expansion to its “NeuRA study”. 

 The study is funded via a grant under the government’s CRC Program totalling $2.95 million. 180 patients 
will be recruited over three years into the trial. Interim results from the trial’s first cohort will be released 
in the first half of calendar 2018.

•   3rd May 2017 – Oventus announced that a paper outlining the result of the pilot clinical trial was accepted 
as a peer reviewed article into the Journal of Dental Sleep Medicine (JDSM). It was also announced that 
two further clinical trials in Brisbane and Perth were progressing well.

The “Brisbane study” reached full recruitment of 40 patients. Results will be released in the first half of 
calendar 2018.

The “Perth study” opened for recruitment, targeting 30 patients to assess the impact on upper airway 
mechanics from various levels of lower jaw advancement. An abstract will be presented in Auckland at the 
ASA Conference in late October 2017. Results are due to be released in the first quarter of calendar 2018. 

•   7th June 2017 – Oventus announced results of its positive pilot clinical data to the American Academy of 

Dental Sleep Medicine in Boston from its “NeuRA study”. 

Further interim results of the “NeuRA” expansion study were released at the World Sleep Congress in 
Prague in October 2017.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Significant advancement was made across a number of models in the proprietary O2Vent appliance range and 
the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) connection. The O2Vent appliance range includes the O2Vent 
Mono, O2Vent Titratable and O2Vent Wings. 

These appliances allow Oventus to bridge the gap between existing oral jaw advancement appliances for 
mild OSA, and CPAP machines with a mask for severe OSA.

A number of products are under development for release in 2018 including the O2Vent trial device – a composite 
low cost entry device, Combibite - used by dentists to take an impression and bite record of patient’s mouth 
and HME - a sponge for use inside the O2Vent to control dry mouth.

CHANGING LIVES

For years, OSA has been difficult to treat, owing to the fact that many patients find it hard to tolerate 
the existing gold standard of treatment, called Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, or CPAP. In fact, 
50% of patients do not adhere to proper use of their CPAP therapy within a year of trying it8 due to 
discomfort associated with the high pressures, face mask and other factors.

Traditional  CPAP  technology  pumps  air  into  a  patient’s  throat  via  a  mask  that  is  worn  to  bed  and  is 
designed to prevent the airway from collapsing, and causing ‘sleep events’, which disrupt the sleep cycle.

Oventus’ O2Vent technology is the first major innovation in the treatment 
of sleep apnoea for years, offering a unique alternative for snorers and 
sufferers  of  mild-to-moderate  obstructive  sleep  apnoea  (OSA).  It  also 
offers an alternative to those who cannot tolerate CPAP, the treatment 
for more severe cases.

HOW OVENTUS AIRWAY TECHNOLOGY WORKS 

Nose breathing during sleep is ideal 
and patients should breathe though 
their nose to the extent they can. In 
the case of nasal resistance, nasal 
obstruction or soft palate collapse, 
a patient would normally experience 
a respiratory event or arousal and 
may then convert to mouth breathing, 
leading to an unstable airway. 

Oventus Airway Technology is 
designed to allow continued air 
flow to the oropharynx in the 
presence of nasal or soft 
palate obstruction. If device 
breathing is required 
during sleep, an oral 
seal is maintained and 
ventilation normalises.

If there is reduced flow through 
the nasal airway or a soft palate 
obstruction occurs, air can be 
drawn into the front of the device 
while the lips maintain an oral 
seal around the device extension

Air passes through to the back  
of the device in an enclosed,  
low resistance pathway 

The device advances the lower 
mandible to stabilise jaw 
position, bringing the tongue 
forward and opening the airway.

RECENT CLINICAL TRIALS HIGHLIGHT HOW 
O2VENT TECHNOLOGY CAN CHANGE LIVES

The O2Vent oral devices enable patients to 
breathe better at night and thereby reduce 
sleep events’ thanks to the proprietary 
Oventus Airway Technology’s’ ability to 
regulate breathing pressure between the 
nose and mouth.

Clinical results of the O2Vent appliances 
are indicating that they are superior to 
any of the existing oral devices currently 
on the market. Trials are consistently 
demonstrating their ability to reduce 
snoring and decrease the patient’s 

Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI - the main 
OSA measurement score) more than 
other oral appliances.

In clinical trials, we saw patients achieve 
the following outcomes: 

•   100% of patients experienced  

significant improvement in snoring 

•   82% of patients experienced  

complete elimination of snoring

•   76% of patients decreased their 

Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI) by 
more than 50%.

CLINICAL TRIALS 
ARE CONSISTENTLY 
DEMONSTRATING THE O2VENT 
ORAL APPLIANCE’S ABILITY 
TO REDUCE SNORING AND 
DECREASE THE PATIENT’S 
MAIN OSA SCORE MORE  
THAN OTHER ORAL 
APPLIANCES.

“I HAVE USED THE OVENTUS DEVICE FOR 3 YEARS AND IT IS AMAZING. 

No snoring and so easy to carry around. Used it right through Europe  
and did not have to worry about electricity or extra bags. Used a CPAP  
for 20 years. Now I am so free from all that. I love it!”

O2Vent trial device
A composite low cost entry device. The O2Vent trial device will enable patients to try the Oventus airway technology at a 
significantly cheaper price point than with the current titanium models. This new product, to be sold over the counter 
at chemists, represents a low-cost, low risk option which allows Oventus to compete with the popular ‘boil and bite’ 
devices, typically sold as dental trial devices and through pharmacy channels.

Combibite

Used by dentists to take an impression and bite record of a patient’s mouth so a personalised device can be created. 
The Combibite is an accessory that helps dentists take an accurate impression of a patient’s mouth, to enable the 
O2Vent titanium devices to be produced quickly and accurately.

Heat Moisture Exchange (HME) sponge

Sponge for use inside appliance airway opening to control dry mouth. The HME is an innovation to make the O2Vent 
oral device range more comfortable if patients are suffering from dry mouth.

PROVIDING TREATMENTS THAT PATIENTS CAN BOTH TOLERATE AND BENEFIT FROM CLINICALLY 

Oventus’ devices sit between the current ‘oral jaw advancement’ (for mild sleep apnoea) and 
‘CPAP’ standards of care (for severe sleep apnoea), providing a new treatment platform for patients 
depending on their sleep apnoea severity.

A significant innovation in the Oventus range is the Oventus O2Vent + CPAP Connector, which is 
currently under development.

CPAP CONNECTION (UNDER DEVELOPMENT) 

The Oventus CPAP connection is under development, and will 
connect the Oventus’ O2Vent with ’airway technology’ to existing 
CPAP devices (e.g. those supplied by ResMed). It will replace the 
traditional facial mask technology.

The connection will enable the  
use of smaller, lower pressure CPAP  
machines (currently in development), which can  
operate with minimum noise and are more portable for patients.

The connector is expected to provide traditional CPAP users 
with a major improvement in comfort and offer the potential to 
operate CPAP devices at significantly lower pressure, providing a 
more tolerable experience.

The CPAP connection is expected to be available through sleep 
clinicians and work is underway to prepare both the nasal only 
and nasal / oral CPAP connectors for regulatory clearance. 
Submissions for clearance are expected to be lodged in FY18.

OVERVIEW

OSA and snoring are primarily treated by two groups of practitioners – dentists and 
sleep clinicians. As such, Oventus has a dual-channel approach to driving its range of 
therapeutic devices into the market.

EXPLORING THE DENTAL CHANNEL

SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS MADE INTO THE DENTAL CHANNEL IN FY17

A major achievement was recorded at the end of FY17 when 
Oventus signed a co-manufacturing and distribution agreement 
with Modern Dental Group, the world’s largest supplier of dental 
prosthetics, with a top three position in each of the world’s major 
dental markets.

Through the agreement, Modern will assume responsibility 
for selling Oventus’ oral appliance range into its global dental 
channels, with exclusivity in the USA and a non-exclusive 
agreement across the rest of the world.  

DENTIST CHANNEL

Modern Dental Group (leading 
global dental prosthetics group) 
will undertake marketing and sales 
leveraging their large network 
(agreement signed June 2017).

THE OVENTUS O2VENT RANGE IS THE ONLY PREMIUM  
ORAL APPLIANCE RANGE THAT WILL BE SOLD BY MODERN 
DENTAL GLOBALLY.

Since signing the agreement with Modern in June 2017, work has 
commenced to prepare the Modern Dental team for a soft launch 
in October 2017, with key activities being:

•   Training of sales and customer support teams launched in 

Australia and North America

•   Development of “Modernised” marketing communications 

materials nearing completion

•   Online training platform developed for Oventus-specific 

training

•   Partnership with Tufts University Boston for dental sleep 

educational content and “independent” training

•   Manufacturing and logistics partnership with Modern 
completed testing and ready for roll out from October

While Modern will be responsible for selling and marketing into 
its global channels, the Oventus team will closely support the 

roll-out, which is expected to occur in Australia and the United 
States from calendar Q4 2017 and in Europe later in CY18. 

Revenues from the Modern agreement are expected to begin to 
make an impact in Q1 CY18.

A MAJOR MARKET OPPORTUNITY

OSA is a massive market. Currently estimated to be valued 
at US$3.8 billion globally, the OSA market is growing at a 
compound annual growth rate of 15-20% with only 20% of 
sufferers in care.

Oventus’ trial appliance and PAP connection which are currently 
under development are key to getting these patients into care. 

CLINICAL TRIAL RESULTS SUPPORT MOVE INTO SLEEP CHANNEL

Clinical results for the Oventus Airway Technology have indicated 
that many patients that are currently prescribed CPAP therapy 
would benefit from the Oventus Airway Technology and the trial 
device and PAP connection will make it easier and more cost 
effective to convince both the sleep clinician and the patient that 
the Oventus Airway Technology is the best treatment option.

OVERVIEW

SPOTL IGHT ON THE AGREE ME N T  WI TH  M O D E RN   DE N TA L

The Modern Dental agreement announced in June 2017 
sets Oventus up to fast-track global expansion.

At the time of announcement, Mr Godfrey 
Ngai, Chief Executive Officer of Modern 
Dental said: 

“With our recent acquisition of 
Microdental in the USA, we have an 
unmet need to supply an oral appliance 
for the treatment of sleep apnoea to our 
dentist customers. 

We believe the Oventus O2Vent range of 
devices provide the required features and 
benefits and clinical outcomes to meet 
the needs of our customers. 

We have selected the O2Vent range as the 
premium oral appliances that we take to 
market and distribute in the US.”

Investors are invited to watch a video 
interview between Oventus’ Founder 
and Clinical Director, Dr Chris Hart 
and CEO of Modern Dental Group in 
the US, Mike Girard in which the two 
discuss the work underway to prepare 
for a soft launch of the Modern 
agreement in the US and Australia in 
calendar Q4 2017.

SLEEP PHYSICIAN  
CHANNEL

Oventus will initially undertake sales 
and marketing directly with sleep 
physicians. Channel partnerships  
are also being investigated.

ADDRESSING THE SLEEP CHANNEL THROUGH  
PRODUCT INNOVATION

To address these issues, Oventus is developing a suite of 
products that are specifically designed to be delivered by the 
sleep physician. 

During the year, significant progress was made in the 
development of Oventus’ trial, or ‘boil and bite’ device as 
well as the Oventus’ proprietary CPAP connector, which will 
connect the O2Vent appliance range (including the trial device) 
into conventional CPAP machines. Both these developments 
are important to progressing Oventus’ products into the sleep 
clinician channel. It will mean that the sleep clinician can fit and 
trial the Oventus airway technology on the day of the patient’s 
appointment – with or without a PAP connection. This is similar 
to the current trialling of PAP therapy with a mask. Once the trial 
period is successfully completed, the patient can either continue 
with a trial appliance or have a custom made O2Vent device 
delivered by the dentist.

EXPLORING THE SLEEP PHYSICIAN CHANNEL

DIAGNOSING SLEEP APNOEA

The typical diagnosis process for sleep apnoea involves a 
patient visiting a sleep physician (usually referred by a GP) 
and then being prescribed a sleep test - either at home or in a 
specialist clinic. Based on the results of the test, the physician 
will then recommend the treatment that is believed to be best 
for that patient. 

Currently this is often the “gold standard” CPAP therapy 
especially if the patient has moderate to severe obstructive sleep 
apnoea. This is despite the non-compliance rate of CPAP therapy 
being approximately 50% after one year. Oral appliance therapy 
is growing in acceptance; however uptake is limited as that these 
devices are delivered by a different specialist – a dentist, can 
take weeks to deliver; and the patient is unsure of how well the 
therapy will suit them.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS KEY TO TAPPING THE MARKET

It is anticipated that once cleared by the FDA, both the O2Vent 
trial device and the PAP connection will be reimbursed in the 
USA, and like PAP masks, will be available through Durable 
Medical Equipment (DME) suppliers. In addition, similar to the 
way Modern Dental has been signed for distribution into the 
dental channel, Oventus will aim to sign an agreement with a 
distributor that has sleep clinicians as existing customers and/
or has products delivered into the growing home care market.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2017

The directors present their report on the Consolidated Entity consisting of 
Oventus Medical Limited (‘the Company’) and the entities it controlled (‘the 
Consolidated Entity’) at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2017. 

DIRECTORS AND COMPANY SECRETARY

The following persons were directors of Oventus Medical Limited during 
the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless 
otherwise stated:

Mel Bridges – Chairman

Neil Anderson

Christopher Hart

Sue MacLeman

Stephen Denaro – Company secretary

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the year the principal activities of the Company consisted of the 
commercialisation and distribution of the O2Vent™ T, in Australia, as well 
as development of a pipeline of products to treat segments of the snoring 
and sleep apnoea market. These segments include those that do not 
comply or adhere to existing treatment options due to nasal obstruction 
and/or inability to utilise the CPAP mask.

DIVIDENDS

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

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The loss for the Consolidated Entity after providing for income tax 
amounted to $6,510,114 (30 June 2016: loss of $2,341,078)

As planned, the Consolidated Entity has continued to operate mainly 
as a research and development (R&D) company while preparing for a 
launch into overseas jurisdictions which are large market opportunities 
for the company’s innovative product range. Development expenditure 
totalling $2,068,457 has been capitalised in the consolidated statement 
of financial position for 2017. The Consolidated Entity received $457,383 
from the Australian Federal Government in January 2017 as a credit for 
the company’s 2016 financial year R&D spend.

The Consolidated Entity signed the Modern Dental Group (MDG) to a 
global distribution agreement for the Oventus proprietary O2Vent product 
range  which is exclusive for the USA and non-exclusive for the rest-of-
the-world.  MDG is the world’s largest dental prosthetic device provider 
with over 70 sales and customer services centres covering North 
America, Europe, Australia, and the Greater China regions. It is planned 
that this distribution relationship will be the focus for appliance sales to 
dentists. Training and marketing activities are well advanced with a ramp 
up in sales planned from the end of 2017.

This followed the Consolidated Entity’s launch of its initial  
product (O2Vent T) into the USA in late January 2017 (announced  
18 January 2017) through initial pilot sites. An additional product, the 

O2Vent W was developed and subsequently cleared by the Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2017. 

The Company also signed a collaborative agreement in China with 
a large hospital service company (announced 1 February 2017). The 
collaboration includes clinician training, clinical trialling and regulatory 
approvals prior to a product launch in China.

The Consolidated Entity has completed two capital raisings in the year 
ended 30 June 2017. Oventus Medical listed on the ASX in July 2016 
raising $12 million through the issue of 24,000,000 fully paid ordinary 
shares at an issue price of $0.50 per share. A further $6,480,000 was 
received during the year ended 30 June 2017.The total transaction costs 
for the two issues amounted to $1,176,971.

It is planned that over the next 6 to 12 months most of the Consolidated 
Entity’s product portfolio will be developed and the 3 current clinical 
trials will be completed. Products being developed, especially for the 
sleep clinician channel, include a trial appliance for faster delivery and 
patient evaluation and a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) 
connection to the appliance airway for severe sleep apnoea patients.

The R&D focus has switched to the recently announced Cooperative 
Research Centre Program (CRCP) which will receive $2.95 million 
funding over the next 3 years from the Australian Federal government’s 
Department of Industry, Innovation and Science (announced 8 February 
2017). Oventus is the lead participant with Medical Monitoring Solutions 
Pty Ltd with Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA), Western Sydney 
University (WSU) and CSIRO as the other participants.

Once the company is at the point with a more expanded product range 
and with additional clinical evidence valuing the company’s novel airway, 
the emphasis for the company will switch to a wider market penetration. 
In preparation, over the next 6 months the Company plans to form 
additional collaboration for both manufacturing and distribution.

The significant factors underlying the operating performance were 
as follows:

1.   A pilot marketing launch has been initiated in Australia for the 

O2Vent™ T. As a result the Consolidated Entity earned $447,994 in 
revenue in 2017.

2.   Setup for the wider launch is now underway following the recent 
signing of the Modern Dental Group to a world-wide distribution 
agreement with an initial focus on USA, Australia and Europe.

3.   The O2Vent™ T was submitted to the FDA as a 510k and was 

subsequently cleared for market release (announced 26 September 
2016). Initial appliances were delivered through pilot or Beta clinical sites. 

4.    An FDA 510k submission for the O2Vent W was completed in May 

2017 and the product was subsequently cleared for sale in July 2017. 
The O2Vent T and O2Vent W appliances will be the main products sold 
through the global distribution arrangement with the Modern Dental 
Group. A manufacturing agreement with Modern Dental has also 
been signed which allow the Consolidated Entity to supply appliances 
in the anticipated volumes as per the distribution agreement.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2017

5.   The Consolidated Entity announced the completion of the first 

detailed physiological pilot study (24 January 2017) into the effect of 
the O2Vent T on pharyngeal pressure swings, which cause the airway 
to collapse in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and as a Continuous Positive 
Airway Pressure (CPAP) interface. The study resulted in encouraging 
data in a small sample size (n=4) which supports the benefit of the 
airway in reducing pressure swings, collapsibility and CPAP pressure 
requirements. This indicates the use of the O2Vent T as a CPAP 
alternative either as a standalone appliance, or in combination with 
CPAP using it as a strapless CPAP interface. The trial will progress to 
the next stage to confirm initial findings in a larger cohort and will be 
mainly funded by the CRC-P.

6.   The Consolidated Entity has implemented a state of the art cloud-

based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system which links the 
Consolidated Entity’s current and future operational subsidiaries to 
the Oventus Medical financial management system. The ERP system 
includes manufacturing, patient and customer management modules.

7.   The Consolidated Entity’s Quality Management System has received 
both ISO13485 and MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) 
accreditation (announced on 10 January 2017 and 8 February 2017 
respectively). ISO13485 is recognised globally as the best quality 
practice within the medical device industry. These certifications are 
a key requirement for major markets including Europe, the United 
States of America, Canada, Japan and Australia.

8.   A new machine for polishing appliances has now been received and 

installed – it is currently being commissioned. Once commissioned its 
use is expected to increase the efficiency of production.

adjustment of the screw and hook for appropriate titration. The 
correction was identified through post-market surveillance data after 
12 devices were returned to the Consolidated Entity (representing 6% 
of the devices manufactured during the period). These devices were 
recalled as a precautionary measure, to be checked and if necessary, 
reworked in production with an improved manufacturing process. The 
manufacturing process that contributed to the correction has now 
been addressed, and all devices manufactured after 30 November 
2016 have been checked and verified as safe and in full working order. 
The checking and correction of the 191 devices has been completed. 
The recall was not material to revenue or cash flow.

10.  A number of new products have advanced through the R&D process. 
All are anticipated to be completed and transferred to manufacturing 
for regulatory clearance over the next 6 to 12 months. These include 
new appliance designs including a trial version for a faster delivery 
and lower cost evaluation of the Oventus airway technology and a 
connector system to allow combination therapy with CPAP. A research 
and development project for the 3D printing of inserts is progressing 
with a focus on developing end to end digital workflow and suitable 
materials printed by state of the art equipment. When implemented 
this is anticipated to lead to a significant reduction in production costs 
compared to the current manufacturing process.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

On 19 July 2016, the Company raised approximately $12 million pursuant 
to the offer under the prospectus dated 8 June 2016 by the issue of

A share purchase plan to raise additional capital of $7 million was 
announced to the market on 22 June 2017 at an issue price of $0.36 per 
share. An initial placement of 18,000,000 shares (First Tranche Shares) 
was issued to Institutional Investors on 29 June 2017 and 30 June 2017. 
A subsequent placement of an additional 1,444,444 shares (Second 
Tranche Shares) was completed on 9 August 2017.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Subsequent to the end of the financial year Oventus Medical Limited 
raised $519,843 by issue of 1,444,009 shares (Second Tranche Shares) 
at $0.36 per share by way of a placement to Institutional Investors. This 
is in accordance with the share purchase plan announced to the market 
on 22 June 2017 which has been undertaken to raise overall additional 
capital of $7 million.

On 12 July 2017 the Company received FDA clearance for the O2Vent W 
- winged or dorsal flex appliance - to allow for the sale of the appliance 
in the US. This is a significant milestone for entry into the US market 
as the Company now has O2Vent appliances with the two most popular 
mandibular advancement mechanisms. Initial sales are anticipated for 
the October 2017 quarter with a growth expected for future periods. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The following factors are likely to affect the results of the Consolidated 
Entity in the future:

1.   Successful training and marketing activities by Modern Dental Group 

with their customers

2.   Uptake and acceptance of the O2Vent range of products by patients 

and clinicians in various geographical locations.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

Key management personnel (KMP) covered in this report

The key management personnel of the Consolidated Entity consisted of 
the following directors of Oventus Medical Limited:

–  Mel Bridges (Chairman)

–  Neil Anderson

–  Christopher Hart

–  Sue MacLeman

And the following persons:

– 

 Elise Hogan (Vice President of Global Sales, Marketing and 
Commercialisation, ceased 28 June 2017)

–  Stephen Denaro (Company Secretary)

Remuneration policy and link to performance

The Group’s remuneration policy adopted has been designed to:

a.  Align with shareholder and business objectives and expectations;

b.  Attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people;

c.   Provide a level and composition of remuneration that is reasonable, 

fair and aligned to market;

f.  Be internally consistent;

g.   Be transparent with respect to setting performance goals and the 

measurement of performance against those goals; and

h.   Align with regional and industry standards and regulatory 

requirements.

The remuneration policy links to the Group’s long-term performance 
by providing incentives to key management personnel based upon 
milestones which need to be met in the short to medium term which but 
which are essential requirements for the Group’s long term performance. 
The issue of options to key personnel aligns their compensation to 
increases in share prices and, accordingly, increases in shareholder 
wealth. The remuneration policy is not based on earnings as this is not 
seen as the appropriate indicator of performance for key management 
personnel at this stage of the  Group’s life cycle.

Elements of remuneration

Remuneration packages may consist of fixed remuneration, short-term 
incentives and long term equity-based benefits.

Remuneration packages can be tailored to an individual’s requirements 
to maximize available salary packaging options.

Total fixed remuneration consist of base salary, non-cash benefits 
provided inclusive of FBT (Fringe Benefit Tax) costs, as well as employer 
contributions to superannuation.

Short-term incentives consist of cash bonuses payable under the 
Company’s Employee Incentive Plan, and are paid on the basis of an 
individual’s performance and contributions during the year.

The Employee Incentive Plan is managed by the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee, which sets and reviews relevant performance 
targets against which an individual’s and the Company’s short-term 
performance are measured.

Long-term benefits are provided by way of equity based incentives under 
the Company’s Employee Option Plan, and are granted based on an 
assessment made by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee 
taking account of an individual’s position, service and market-based 
assessment and an individual’s capacity to influence corporate value.

The Employee Option Plan is managed by the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee who recommends grants to individuals and the 
terms and performance criteria applicable.

Responsibilities of Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for 
determining appropriate levels and structure of remuneration for 
executives.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for 
approving performance metrics for executives and measuring 
performance against those metrics.

d.   Encourage directors and executives to pursue the long term growth 
and success of the Company, balanced against the need to also 
achieve critical short term business objectives;

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee will review the 
remuneration of executives annually, taking account of market movements, 
comparative remuneration information and individual performance.

Contractual arrangements for executive KMP

Remuneration and employment terms for executive directors and other 
key management personnel are for the Managing Director, Clinical 
Director and the other key management personnel are detailed in 
employment agreements. The employment agreements do not have a 
fixed term. The Group may terminate the contracts immediately if the 
executive engages in serious misconduct, wilfully obeys a lawful and 
reasonable direction or becomes bankrupt. Otherwise, the Group or the 
executive may terminate the contracts by giving three months’ notice.

Non- executive director arrangements

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at market 
rates for comparable companies for the time, commitment and 
responsibilities undertaken by non-executive Directors.

Remuneration payable to non-executive Directors consists of fixed fees 
payable within the aggregate director fees approved by shareholders.  In 
addition, statutory employer superannuation contributions are payable 
where relevant, as are non-cash benefits in lieu of fees.

Base fixed fees payable to non-executive Directors take account of work 
undertaken on Board committees.  Additional fixed fees will be paid to 
directors who chair a Board committee.

In addition, non-executive Directors may participate under the terms of 
the Company’s Employee Option Plan, subject to the relevant approval 
of shareholders.

Other than by way of payment of statutory employer superannuation 
contributions, retirement benefits are not granted to non-executive 
Directors.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews the 
remuneration of non-executive Directors annually.  If considered 
necessary, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee will 
recommend that shareholders be asked to consider, and if considered 
appropriate, to approve any increase in the aggregate non-executive 
Director fees.  The total amount of fixed fees paid to non-executive 
Directors must not exceed the maximum amount authorised by 
shareholders from time to time. As at 30 June 2017, the Consolidated 
Entity was a listed entity and the requirement to have non-executive 
director remuneration authorised is subject to approval at the 
Company’s annual general meeting.

Where relevant, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee will seek 
advice from independent third parties to bench mark non-executive 
Director remuneration against relevant market practice.

Shares issued on the exercise of options

No options were exercised during the year ended 30 June 2017. 

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND INDEMNITIES

During the financial year, Oventus Medical Limited paid a premium of 
$109,273 to insure the directors and secretaries of the Company and its 
controlled entities.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending 
civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in 
their capacity as officers of entities in the group, and any other payments 
arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such 
proceedings. This does not include such liabilities that arise from 
conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper 
use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage 
for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the company. 
It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to 
the insurance against legal costs and those relating to other liabilities.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf 
of the Company or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is 
a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company 
for all or any part of those proceedings.

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the period.

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 17 to the 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 
17 to the 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.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

The auditor’s independence declaration is set out on the following page 
and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the period ended 30 June 2017.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2017

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the 
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.

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations 
Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial 
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical 
cost convention on an accrual basis of accounting and a going concern 
assumption.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain 
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise 
its judgement in the process of applying the 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 financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.

All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the 
Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been 
eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of controlled entities 
are consistent with the policies adopted by the parent unless otherwise 
stated below.

The Company was incorporated on 23 September 2015.  At the same time 
Oventus CRM Pty Ltd was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary 
of the Company. On 28 September 2015, the Company acquired all the 
issued shares in Oventus Manufacturing Pty Ltd, the consideration 
being the issue of 74,375,000 fully paid shares in the Company (the 
Restructure). Oventus Manufacturing Pty Ltd is the operating company in 
the Consolidated Entity. Oventus Medical Limited and Oventus CRM Pty 
Ltd have not traded during the year. 

As the shareholders of Oventus Manufacturing Pty Ltd prior to the 
Restructure were the same as the shareholders of the Company on 
completion of the Restructure, the Restructure has been treated as a 
“common control transaction” which does not meet the requirements of 
a “business combination” as set out in AASB 3 Business Combinations. 
Accordingly, no additional intangible assets (including any goodwill) have 
been recognised on completion of the Restructure. 

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.

Comparative information

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to 
changes in presentation in the current year.

Segment Reporting

The Consolidated Entity is a medical device developer operating within 
a sole industry, being the development of oral appliances for sleep 
disorders. The company operates predominantly in Australia. Operations 
commenced in the United States of America in January 2017, however the 
effect and size of the operation outside of Australia is not yet material. 

Parent entity information

Revenue recognition

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements 
present the results of the Consolidated Entity only. Supplementary 
information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 18.

Principles of consolidation

The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial 
Position as at 30 June 2017 incorporates the assets, liabilities and 
results of the Company and its controlled entities. A subsidiary is any 
entity over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and 
operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than 
one half of the voting rights.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks 
and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and 
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can 
be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered 
passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a 
proportional basis taking in to account the interest rates applicable to the 
financial assets.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2017

Government grants

Grants from government, including Australian Research and 
Development tax offsets, are recognised at their fair value where there is 
a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company 
will comply with all attached conditions.

Where a grant is received relating to research and development costs 
that have been expensed, the grant is recognised as other income when 
the grant becomes receivable. 

When the grant relates to an asset, the cost of the asset is shown net of 
the grant or receivable. 

Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on 
that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate 
for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and 
the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary 
differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are 
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are 
enacted or substantively enacted, except for:

• 

• 

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

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

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

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets 
are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised 
are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future 
taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. 
Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent 
that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover 
the asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a 
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax 
liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they 
relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or 
different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.

Manufacturing costs - Pilot phase

Manufacturing costs incurred during the pilot phase of manufacturing 
have been expensed as incurred. When the Consolidated Entity expands 
its manufacturing and distribution, expected in the year ended 30 June 
2019, it will commence recognising cost of sales. All costs directly 

associated with generating revenue, including direct materials and 
labour and indirect costs will be allocated to cost of goods for sale. 

Inventories

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are 
stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises 
direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable 
and fixed overhead expenditure. Costs are assigned to individual items 
of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased 
inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. 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.

Expenses

All expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income 
on an accrual basis.  Amounts disclosed as expenses are net of taxes 
paid except where the amount of goods and services tax incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority.  In these circumstances, the tax 
is recognised as part of the expense.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position 
based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be 
realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Consolidated 
Entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose 
of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the 
reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless 
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 
12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as 
non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled 
in the Consolidated Entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily 
for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months 
after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer 
the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting 
period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

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

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-
term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less held 
at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts 
are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Statement of 
Financial Position.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently 
shown net of provision for bad debts. Trade receivables are generally 
due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets 
unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the 
reporting date.

3434

OVENTUS MEDICAL ANNUAL REPORT 2017

OVENTUS MEDICAL ANNUAL REPORT 2017Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts 
which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the 
carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment 
of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the 
Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the 
original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the 
debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial 
reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered 
indicators that the trade receivables are impaired. The amount of the 
impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying 
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted 
at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term 
receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss 
within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment 
allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent 
year, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent 
recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other 
expenses in profit or loss.

Plant and equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, 
where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses.

Plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all property, plant and equipment is 
depreciated over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time 
the asset is held ready for use. Land and the land component of any class 
of property, plant and equipment is not depreciated.

Class of fixed asset

Computer equipment

Sleep and production equipment

Intangible assets

Patents, trademarks and licences

Depreciation rates

20- 33%

Patents, trademarks and licences are recognised at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. 
Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated 
useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are 
reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any 
changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. The 
Group’s estimate of the useful lives of its patents, trademarks and 
licenses is 20 years. 

Research and development expenditure

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development (or 
from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and 
only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

• 

 the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it 
will be available for use or sale;

•  the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

•  the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

• 

• 

• 

 how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic 
benefits;

 the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to 
complete the development and to use 

 the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the 
intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally generated intangible 
assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when 
the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. 
Any research and development tax offsets or grants received relating 
to development costs are deducted from the total development cost. 
Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, 
development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in 
which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets 
are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated 
impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis 
over the estimated useful life of 5 years. The estimated useful life and 
amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, 
with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a 
prospective basis.

Financial instruments

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets into the following 
categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans 
and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale 
financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the 
instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of 
its financial instruments at initial recognition.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and 
subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade payables, other creditors and loans 
from third parties including inter-company balances and loans from or 
other amounts due to director-related entities.

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense when 
incurred.

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, 
comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2017

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the group 
has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 
twelve months after the reporting period.

Impairment of financial assets

The carrying amount of financial assets is reviewed annually by directors 
to assess whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset 
is impaired.

Where such objective evidence exists, the company recognises 
impairment losses.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the 
Company prior to the end of financial period, which are unsecured and 
are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables 
are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 
months from reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair 
value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill, intangible assets not yet ready for use and intangible assets 
that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are 
therefore tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset 
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is 
defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

For an asset measured at cost, an impairment loss is recognised 
in profit or loss where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its 
recoverable amount.

Reversal of impairment loss for an asset measured at cost other than 
goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Provisions

A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when 
the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result 
of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits 
will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been 
reliably estimated.

Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance 
leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to 
reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks 
and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Lease incentives received under operating leases are recognised as 

a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the 
lease term.

Employee entitlements

Liabilities for salaries including annual leave expected to be settled 
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current 
employee entitlements in respect of employee services up to the 
reporting date, and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid 
when the liabilities are settled.  

The liability for long service leave is based on current salary levels, years 
of completed service and the estimated probability that the employee will 
remain with the Company.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of 
associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the 
taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as a part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST 
receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or 
payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or 
payables in the balance sheet.

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 taxation authority, are presented as operating 
cash flows.

Contributed equity

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.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been 
published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2017 reporting periods 
and have not been early adopted by the Consolidated entity. The 
Consolidated Entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards 
and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments       

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and applicable amendments, effective 
from 1 January 2018, addresses the classification, measurement and 
derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. This standard 
introduces new classification and measurement models for financial 
assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial 
asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. It has now also 
introduced revised rules around hedge accounting and impairment. The 
Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard and the amendments from 
1 July 2017 and it does not expect this to have a significant impact on 
the recognition and measurement of the Consolidated Entity’s financial 
instruments. The derecognition rules have not been changed from 

3636

OVENTUS MEDICAL ANNUAL REPORT 2017

OVENTUS MEDICAL ANNUAL REPORT 2017the previous requirements and the Consolidated Entity does not apply 
hedge accounting.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers      

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on 
or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single standard for 
revenue recognition. The new standard is based on the principle that 
revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers 
to a customer. The standard permits either a full retrospective or 
a modified retrospective approach for its adoption. The standard 
will require contracts to be identified, together with the separate 
performance obligations within the contract. The transaction price 
will be determined  adjusted for the time value of money. Revenue is 
recognised when each performance obligation is satisfied. For goods, 
the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer 
obtains control of the goods. Contracts with customers will be 
presented in an entity’s statement of financial position as a contract 
liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship 
between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment. The 
Consolidated Entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and is 
assessing the impact of its adoption.      

AASB 16 Leases             

The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or 
after 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted, provided the new 
revenue standard, AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, 
has been applied, or is applied at the same date as AASB 16. AASB 
16 will primarily affect the accounting by lessees and will result in the 
recognition of almost all leases on the balance sheet. The standard 
removes the current distinction between operating and financing leases 
and requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) 
and a financial liability to pay rentals for almost all lease contracts. 
The accounting by lessors, however, will not significantly change. The 
Consolidated Entity has not elected early adoption and is assessing the 
impact of its adoption.

2.   CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES  

AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to 
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates 
its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent 
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, 
estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other 
various factors, including expectations of future events, management 
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting 
accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related 
actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have 
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within 
the next financial year are discussed below.

Share-based payment transactions

The 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.

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.

Development costs

The Group capitalises development costs for a project in accordance 
with the accounting policy as per note 1. Initial capitalisation of costs is 
based on management’s judgement that technological and economic 
feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project 
has reached a defined milestone according to an established project 
management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalised, 
management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash 
generation of the project and the expected period of benefits. At 30 
June 2017, the carrying amount of capitalised development costs was 
$1,847,478 (2016: $920,768).

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis 
that presumes the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in 
the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.  

The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue on a going concern 
basis is dependent upon the following:

• 

 The successful development of the Consolidated Entity’s product

• 

 Success in achieving budgeted sales and positive cash flow from 
operations, and

• 

 The ability to raise further capital as required.

During the year, the Consolidated Entity made a loss before tax of 
$6,510,114 (30 June 2016: loss of $2,341,078) and has accumulated 
losses of $9,042,011. However, as at 30 June 2017, the current assets 
exceed its current liabilities by $9,077,060. Thus the directors have 
a reasonable expectation that the Consolidated Entity has adequate 
resources to continue in operational existence in the foreseeable future. 
However, additional capital raising may be required in the future to meet 
expansionary and long term goals.

The Consolidated Entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (which includes foreign currency risk), interest rate risk, credit 
risk and liquidity risk. The Consolidated Entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include 
sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rates and foreign exchange risk and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by the chief executive officer under policies approved by the directors. These policies include identification and 
analysis of risks and appropriate procedures to address these and report to the board of directors annually as to the effectiveness of the Consolidated 
Entity’s management of its key business risks. 

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates will affect the Consolidated Entity’s income.

Foreign currency risk

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations in relation to expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. 

Interest rate risk

The Consolidated Entity’s main interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents.

The Consolidated Entity has reviewed its sensitivity to market, foreign currency and interest rate risks and determined that this is not material.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS   
OF OVENTUS MEDICAL LIMITED

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S  REPORT  

TO  THE  MEMBERS  OF  OVENTUS  MEDICAL  LIMITED  

Report  on  the  Financial  Report  

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Oventus  Medical  Limited  (the  company),  which  
comprises   the   consolidated   statement   of   financial   position   as   at   30   June   2017,   the   consolidated  
statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  
equity   and   the   consolidated   statement   of   cash   flows   for   the   year   then   ended,   notes   comprising   a  
summary   of   significant   accounting   policies   and   other   explanatory   information,   and   the   directors’  
declaration   of   the   company   and   the   consolidated   entity   comprising   the   company   and   the   entities   it  
controlled  at  the  year’s  end  or  from  time  to  time  during  the  financial  year.  

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  report  of  Oventus  Medical  Limited  is  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  
Act  2001,  including:  

i)  

ii)  

Giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  consolidated  entity’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  
2017    and  of  its  performance  for  the  year  ended  on  that  date;;  and  

Complying   with   Australian   Accounting   Standards   and   the   Corporations   Regulations  
2001.  

Basis  for  Opinion  

We   conducted   our   audit   in   accordance   with   Australian   Auditing   Standards.   Those   standards   require  
that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit  engagements  and  plan  and  perform  
the   audit   to   obtain   reasonable   assurance   about   whether   the   financial   report   is   free   from   material  
misstatement.   Our   responsibilities   under   those   standards   are   further   described   in   the   Auditor’s  
Responsibility  section  of  our  report.    

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  
for  our  opinion.    

Independence  

We  are  independent  of  the  consolidated  entity  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  
ethical  requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  
Ethics  for  Professional  Accountants  (the  code)  that  are  relevant  to  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  in  
Australia.  We  have  also  fulfilled  our  other  ethical  responsibilities  in  accordance  with  the  Code.  

Key  Audit  Matters  

Key  audit  matters  are  those  matters  that,  in  our  professional  judgement,  were  of  most  significance  in  
our  audit  of  the  financial  report  of  the  current  period.  This  matter  was  addressed  in  the  context  of  our  
audit  of  the  financial  report  as  a  whole,  and  in  forming  our  opinion  thereon,  and  we  do  not  provide  a  
separate   opinion   on   this   matter.   For   each   matter   below,   our   description   of   how   our   audit   addressed  
the  matter  is  provided  in  that  context.

Why  significant  

   How  our  audit  addressed  the  key  audit  matter  

Our  work  included,  but  was  not  limited  to,  the  following  
procedures:  

•  

•  

•  

testing,  on  a  sample  basis,  development  
expenditure  incurred  during  the  year  for  
compliance  with  AASB  138  and  the  Group’s  
accounting  policy  

review  the  reasonableness  of  estimated  useful  life  
and  amortisation  method  and  check  on  a  sample  
basis  whether  they  are  properly  calculated  and  
disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  

to  assess  whether  there  are  indicators  of  
impairment:  

o  

o  

o  

obtaining  and  assessing  evidence  of  external  
changes  within  the  Group’s  market  or  internal  
changes  such  as  the  sales  performance  of  
existing  products  

holding  discussions  with  the  directors  and  
management  as  to  the  status  of  project  
developments  as  well  as  assessing  if  there  
was  evidence  that  a  product  has  been  
discontinued  

obtaining  and  assessing  evidence  of  the  
Group’s  future  intention  for  the  products,  
including  reviewing  future  budgeted  
expenditure  and  sales  forecasts.  

•   assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the  related  

disclosures  in  Notes  1,  2  and  7.  

The   Group’s   intangible   assets   as   at   30   June   2017  
include   capitalised   development   costs   with   a  
carrying   value   of   $1,847,478   (2016:   $920,768),   as  
disclosed  in  Note  7.  

The   Group’s   accounting   policy  
respect   of  
development   costs   are   outlined   in   Note   1   and   Note  
2.      

in  

Capitalised   development   costs   are   significant   to   the  
audit   due   to   the   amount   of   expenditure   being  
capitalised   and   the   specific   criteria   that   have   to   be  
met  for  capitalisation  

We  note  significant  judgement  is  required:    

•  

in   determining   the   treatment   of   development  
expenditure  in  accordance  with  AASB  138,  and  
the  Group’s  accounting  policy.  In  particular:  

o   whether   project   costs   in   the   design   and  
development  of  a  potential  product  meet  the  
recognition  conditions  for  an  asset    

o   whether   a   product   development   project   is  
technically  and  economically  feasible    

o  

in   making   assumptions  
the  
expected   future   cash   generation   of   the  
project,  discount  rates  to  be  applied  and  the  
expected  period  of  benefits.  

regarding  

•  

•  

in   determining   that   capitalised   development  
costs   have   useful   lives   of   5   years   which  
determines  the  amortisation  rate  

in  determining  whether  facts  and  circumstances  
indicate   that   development   costs   capitalised  
should   be   tested   for   impairment   in   accordance  
with  Australian  Accounting  Standard  AASB  136  
Impairment  of  Assets.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS   
OF OVENTUS MEDICAL LIMITED  (continued)

The  Other  Information  we  obtained  prior  to  the  date  of  this  Auditor’s  Report  was  the  Director’s  report.  
The  remaining  Other  Information  is  expected  to  be  made  available  to  us  after  the  date  of  the  Auditor’s  
Report.  

Our  opinion  on  the  Financial  Report  does  not  cover  the  Other  Information  and,  accordingly,  the  auditor  
does  not  and  will  not  express  an  audit  opinion  or  any  form  of  assurance  conclusion  thereon,  with  the  
exception  of  the  Remuneration  Report.  

In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the  Financial  Report,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  Other  Information.  
In   doing   so,   we   consider   whether   the   Other   Information   is   materially   inconsistent   with   the   Financial  
Report  or  our  knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit,  or  otherwise  appears  to  be  materially  misstated.  

We  are  required  to  report  if  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  Other  Information  
in  the  Financial  Report  and  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed  on  the  Other  Information  that  we  
obtained  prior  the  date  of  this  Auditor’s  Report  we  have  nothing  to  report.  

Directors’  Responsibilities  for  the  Financial  Report  

The   Directors   of   the   company   are   responsible   for   the   preparation   of   the   financial   report   that   gives   a  
true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001  
and  for  such  internal  control  as  the  Directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  
financial  report  that  gives  a  true  and  fair  view  and  is  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  
fraud  or  error.    In  Note  1,  the  Directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standard  
AASB   101   Presentation   of   Financial   Statements,   that   the   financial   report   complies   with   International  
Financial  Reporting  Standards.  

In  preparing  the  financial  report,  the  Directors  are  responsible  for  assessing  the  consolidated  entity’s  
ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  
using   a   going   concern   basis   of   accounting   unless   the   Directors   either   intend   to   liquidate   the  
consolidated  entity  or  to  cease  operations,  or  have  no  realistic  alternative  but  to  do  so.  

Auditor’s  Responsibilities  for  the  Audit  of  the  Financial  Report  

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report  based  on  our  audit.    Our  objectives  
are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  report  as  a  whole  is  free  from  material  
misstatement,   whether   due   to   fraud   or   error,   and   to   issue   and   auditor’s   report   that   includes   our  
opinion.   Reasonable   assurance   is   a   high   level   of   assurance,   but   is   not   a   guarantee   that   an   audit  
conducted  
in   accordance   with   Australian   Auditing   Standards   will   always   detect   a   material  
misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered  material  
if,  individual  or  in  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic  decisions  
of  users  taken  on  the  basis  of  this  financial  report.  

As   part   of   an   audit   in   accordance   with   Australian   Auditing   Standards,   we   exercise   professional  
judgement  and  maintain  professional  scepticism  throughout  the  audit.    

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  
in  the  financial  report.  

The   procedures   selected   depend   on   the   auditor’s   judgement,   including   assessment   of   the   risks   of  
material   misstatement   of   the   financial   report,   whether   due   to   fraud   or   error.   In   making   those   risk  
assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  of  the  financial  
report   that   gives   a   true   and   fair   view   in   order   to   design   audit   procedures   that   are   appropriate   in   the  
circumstances,   but   not   for   the   purpose   of   expressing   an   opinion   on   the   effectiveness   of   the   entity’s  
internal  control.

The  risk  of  not  detecting  a  material  misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting  
from   error,   as   fraud   may   involve   collusion,   forgery,   intentional   omissions,   misrepresentations,   or   the  
override  of  internal  control.  

An   audit   also   includes   evaluating   the   appropriateness   of   accounting   policies   used   and   the  
reasonableness   of   accounting   estimates   made   by   the   Directors,   as   well   as   evaluating   the   overall  
presentation  of  the  financial  report.  

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

We   evaluate   the   overall   presentation,   structure   and   content   of   the   financial   report,   including   the  
disclosures,   and   whether   the   financial   report   represents   the   underlying   transactions   and   events   in   a  
manner  that  achieves  fair  presentation.  

We   obtain   sufficient   appropriate   audit   evidence   regarding   the   financial   information   of   the   entities   or  
business  activities  within  the  consolidated  entity  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are  
responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  audit.  We  remain  solely  responsible  
for  our  audit  opinion.    

We  communicate  with  the  Directors  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and  timing  of  
the  audit  and  significant  audit  findings,  including  any  significant  deficiencies  in  internal  control  that  we  
identify  during  our  audit.    

The   Auditing   Standards   require   that   we   comply   with   relevant   ethical   requirements   relating   to   audit  
engagements.   We   also   provide   the   Directors   with   a   statement   that   we   have   complied   with   relevant  
ethical   requirements   regarding   independence,   and   to   communicate   with   them   all   relationships   and  
other   matters   that   may   reasonably   be   thought   to   bear   on   our   independence,   and   where   applicable,  
related  safeguards.    

From   the   matters   communicated   with   the   Directors,   we   determine   those   matters   that   were   of   most  
significance   in   the   audit   of   the   financial   report   of   the   current   period   and   are   therefore   key   audit  
matters.   We   describe   these   matters   in   our   auditor’s   report   unless   law   or   regulation   precludes   public  
disclosure   about   the   matter   or   when,   in   extremely   rare   circumstances,   we   determine   that   a   matter  
should   not   be   communicated   in   our   report   because   the   adverse   consequences   of   doing   so   would  
reasonably  be  expected  to  outweigh  the  public  interest  benefits  of  such  communication.    

Report  on  the  Remuneration  Report  

We  have  audited  the  Remuneration  Report  included  in  the  directors’  report  for  the  year  ended  30  June  
2017.    

Opinion  

In  our  opinion,  the  Remuneration  Report  of  Oventus  Medical  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2017,  
complies  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.
