During the 2018 Financial Year, PainChek® has focused on commercialisation of the PainChek®
Adult “Dementia” App for the enterprise health care market within Australia. We have done
this in a cost effective way, with a small but highly effective “go to market” team, while we
have validated our business model and the market opportunity. We have accelerated sales
growth in the Residential Aged Care (“RAC”) sector in Australia over the past few months, and
start the FY2018/19 with a strong sales pipeline in this sector. We have also agreed to integrate
and distribute our App with two leading Australian clinical care software providers, which will
expand our market reach. We have strong customer satisfaction levels, and this is reflected in
our first contract renewal with Dementia Support Australia.
PainChek® needs to be considered like a Thermometer or Blood Pressure meter in that it can
be used by multiple Health Care Professionals (“HCPs”) to assess and monitor pain levels. The
PainChek® “Shared Care” model is exciting as it will take PainChek® into the home consumer
environment through our established RAC network and with HCP support. We are now well
poised for expansion both domestically and internationally during 2019.
We continue to invest in research and development and have expanded our inhouse
technology capabilities. Development of our Infant App is progressing, and we remain excited
about the prospects for this important new product.
The Managing Directors report which follows provides more detail on the initiatives
undertaken during the year and the exciting plans we have going forward.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank all of our shareholders for continuing
to support the Company.
Yours sincerely,
John Murray
Chairman
Managing Directors Report
Review of operations
The PainChek® technology uses cameras in smartphones and tablets to capture a brief video
of the person, which is analysed in real time using facial recognition software to detect the
presence of facial micro- expressions that are indicative of the presence of pain. The initial
PainChek® App has been TGA and CE mark cleared for use as a class 1 medical device to assess
pain in people who are unable to verbalise.
Initial market Opportunity:
At a global level there are 50 Million people living with dementia with projections estimated
to grow to 75 Million by 2025. It is estimated there are on average three carers for each person
with dementia and it is the carers who are the primary users of the PainChek® App. Dementia
is currently the second major cause of death globally (after cardiovascular disease) and is
projected to become the leading cause of death during this period.
Pain often goes unrecognised and under-treated in people with advanced dementia who can
no longer communicate that they are in pain. Currently available pain assessment tools can
be subject to user bias and are generally paper-based, as a result they are under-utilized.
The Company has focused on commercialisation of the PainChek® Adult “Dementia” App
within Australia and has built a small but highly effective “go to market” team comprised of
experienced sales, marketing, clinical and technical personnel to drive the process. In
Australia, there are 950 RAC operators who manage a total of 2,700 RAC’s with 210,000
resident beds. There are 400,000 people living with dementia in Australia of which 115,000
are within Residential Aged Care(1).
Business Model:
Typically, we license a RAC facility based on the total number of approved beds (licensed beds)
for the facility, although on average we estimate approximately 50% of residents in a facility
may be suffering from dementia at any time. The monthly Average Revenue per Licensed Bed
(ARLB) across the RAC customers based on the agreements signed to date is $5 per month,
and the Average Revenue per Active Resident is in the range of $10 per month based on actual
resident usage.
We have conducted a significant number of customer trials, typically spanning a 4-6-week
period, across large, medium and small sized Residential Aged Care (RAC) clients with the vast
majority of them either resulting in a commercial agreement or moving forwards towards
negotiating an agreement.

As of 30th June 2018, we had one-year subscription license agreements in place with 6 clients
including 5 Residential Aged Care clients and Dementia Support Australia. In addition, more
than 2,000 PainChek® clinical pain assessments had been conducted on more than 500 people
living with dementia within Australia, thus establishing PainChek® as a new, valid pain
assessment tool for people unable to verbalise their pain within the Australian Aged Care
market.
As of 30th September 2018, we have a total of 16 clients covering 20 RAC’s and including
Dementia Support Australia, with one-year subscription agreements in place, with a Monthly
Recurring Revenue (MRR) (2) of $10,600 which equates to an Annualised Recurring Revenue
(ARR) of $127,000. We also have a large pipeline of opportunities which is summarised in
the segment analysis below. In addition, more than 6,000 PainChek® clinical pain
assessments have been conducted on more than 800 people living with dementia within
Australia since market launch in November 2017, thus establishing PainChek® as a new, valid
pain assessment tool for people unable to verbalise their pain within the Australian Aged
Care market.
(1) Australian Government Dept of Health data at 30 June 2015
(2) Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) includes subscription revenue on contracts of 12 months or longer and excludes one off fees for
professional support and training. MRR and ARR are calculated on the basis of the total number of contracts signed as of specific month
end date. As such, the MRR and ARR do not represent revenue recognised in the accounts for the period ending on that date.
Customer feedback:
PainChek® has been shown to accurately and rapidly assess pain, which facilitates better pain
management, leading to reduced pain related behavioural issues in those living with
dementia. It is the focus on improving the quality of resident care that is driving the rapid
adoption of PainChek® within Australian RAC’s.
The feedback from our initial client base has provided revealing insights. It is clear that
PainChek® provides carers across multiple clinical areas with three important new clinical
benefits;
•
the ability to identify the presence of pain, when pain isn’t obvious
•
to quantify the severity level of pain, when pain is obvious, and
• monitor the impact of pain treatment to optimise overall care.
We are building on these positive learnings as we expand our reach in Australia and prepare
to internationalise the business into larger markets commencing with Europe, where there
are 7,500,000 people living with dementia, and selected Asia Pacific markets in 2019.
New Market Opportunities and New Product Pipeline:
The Company will continue with the commercialisation of the PainChek® technology in Australia and
globally. We are receiving overseas interest including UK, Germany and US and Asia, which will support
our international market strategy. We are currently working to complete a PainChek® pre-market
submission for regulatory clearance with FDA in the United States.
The market segments being pursued by the Company include Residential Aged Care Operators, Health
Care Professionals, Home Care Operators and Direct to Home Carers. In parallel, development of the
next phase of Apps remains on track with the adult’s consumer version scheduled for Q3 2018. This
will be commercialised initially through a “shared care” model that allows healthcare professionals to
provide access to PainChek® for home carer use.
We are also making good progress on the development of the PainChek® App for Infants. The software
development is on schedule, and we anticipate having a version ready for beta testing and validation
studies by 30 September 2018. We are currently in discussions with groups in Melbourne and Sydney
for the validation study, with the objective of having a partner signed for the study by October 2018.
We have also completed the collection of our own video libraries to enable the machine learning for
both face and voice analysis.
All national patent filings around the technology remain on track and we have received a registered
trademark in Australia for the use of the PainChek® name and logo.
Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care:
September 2018 saw the Government announce a Royal Commission into Aged Care and call for input
on the Terms of Reference. Painaustralia provided a submission drawing upon successive reviews
which have recommended improved pain management in aged care. Painaustralia CEO Carol Bennett
quoted “Given that 80% of residents in aged care live with pain, it seems reasonable to expect best
practice pain management would be a requirement of government funding for aged care. This will
continue to be a high priority for Painaustralia as the Royal Commission gets underway”. PainChek®
is working closely with our RAC clients, Painaustralia and the Government to support this initiative.
Third Party Software Providers:
Health Metrics (HM) integration: PainChek® Ltd and Health Metrics Pty Ltd have now completed the
integration of the PainChek® App form into the eCase care management system. This work
eliminates duplicate resident data entry in the Aged Care environment by automatically creating new
eCase residents in PainChek®. The PainChek® assessments can be loaded into the eCase charting
system for review and analysis purposes within the Aged Care setting. This feature is now available
for production use by eCase clients.
Leecare Solutions (LS) Integration: We entered into an agreement with Leecare Solutions to integrate
PainChek® into the Leecare care management system in October 2018. The integration is projected to
be completed during Q4 2018.
PainChek® accurately assess pain severity at the point of care and now, combined with the backend
integration, these assessments can be documented automatically into our clients care management
system. The benefits to our clients include; eliminating the need for double handling of data or
duplication of effort creating greater efficiencies and addressing quality standard requirements.
These two software integration agreements allow PainChek® to fully automate pain assessment
testing for more than 100,000 approved places/beds (which is around 50% of the Australian Aged Care
market) and gain access to international markets where our integration partners have overseas
presence. This includes NZ, Singapore, UK and other European markets.
Key strategic objectives for the remainder of 2018 and into 2019
1. Continue to build sales and a sustainable and cost effective RAC business model
The local sales and business model continue to progress very positively within RAC setting. We will
continue to grow sales within the Australian RAC market and build strong customer satisfaction levels.
We have significantly increased the rate of sales take up within the RAC sector throughout 2018 and
have a strong sales pipeline to continue sales growth in 2019. The business model will continue to
evolve as we now have a good understanding of the sales cycle and the use of trials and on-line training
to shorten the sales cycle, optimise training, and reduce the overall cost of sale. This will provide a
base business model for overseas expansion.
2. Enter new market segments with the Adult App
We are now entering multiple market segments which have cross over and will expand our market
potential beyond dementia care and aged care segments. PainChek® has a broad range of
applications, similar to a thermometer or blood pressure meter, in that it will be used by multiple
Health Care Professionals to validate and revalidate pain levels - in many instances for the same
person. The PainChek® “Shared Care” model is exciting as it will take PainChek® into the person living
at home with dementia environment through our established RAC network and with Health Care
Professional support.
3. Market introduction of the Children’s App
We are finalising the clinical trials for the Children’s App in Australia and preparing the regulatory and
clinical documentation for market introduction in 2019 initially in Australia. The first version Children’s
App will be targeted to the 0-1 years age group and will be rapidly followed by a second version
covering the 1-3 years age group. The Children’s App has the potential to far exceed the adult
(dementia) App market. There are 400 Million children aged between 0-3 years of age at any one time,
a clear market needs and a strong consumer and family home carer market opportunity.
4.
Internationalise the Business
The learnings in 2018 hold us in good stead to accelerate the business in Australia and more
importantly to now enter into overseas markets where the large business opportunity exists for the
company. It is our strategic intent to globalise the business and we have the management capability
to do so.
We have established aged care and business contacts for the PainChek® dementia App in overseas
markets including New Zealand, Singapore, UK, Europe and USA during 2018. We plan to enter into
the UK and European markets in 2019 (with the CE Mark clearance) and other opportunistic markets
including New Zealand and Singapore where there is strong interest in PainChek®. This will be
achieved through a combination of setting up direct operations in key markets and through strategic
partnership including working with our existing clients and 3rd party software providers who have
overseas operations.
5. Regulatory Clearance in USA
As part of the international expansion, we are now in communication with the FDA to complete the
PainChek® adult App de-Novo pre-submission. This is projected to be completed by early 2019 in order
to achieve FDA clearance and market introduction during 2020 and in doing so use the adult FDA
clearance as a predicate device for the forthcoming Children’s App FDA submission.
6. Continue to Build Internal Capability
The PainChek® team has already been strengthened in sales, marketing, clinical and technical areas
during 2018. We will continue to build capability in all areas to reflect the business strategies and to
achieve the local and overseas market expansion goals.
Summary:
PainChek® has evolved from a conceptual healthcare product to a market reality with strong sales and
customer satisfaction in less than 2 years. This outstanding achievement has been accomplished with
minimal investment. We are addressing large untapped global markets with a business model that is
sustainable, low cost and scalable. In addition, we have the core technology, patents and trademarks
to protect our unique position, a pipeline of new products and a team that can execute the global
strategy.

OPERATIONS REPORT
Principal Activities
The principal activity of the Company is the development and commercialisation of mobile medical
device applications, that automate intelligent pain assessment of individuals who are unable to
communicate their pain with carers.
Financial and operational review
The loss of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2018, after accounting for income tax benefit,
amounted to $4,810,532 (2017: $8,473,802). The year ended 30 June 2018 operating results are
attributed to the following:
• Expensing license acquisition and fees of $1,709,510 (non-cash $1,312,500) (30 June 2017: $Nil);
• Research & Development expense of $1,699,292 (30 June 2017: $821,427);
• Share based payments in respect of options issued to Directors and employees of $345,172 (non-
cash) (30 June 2017: $ 2,220,842);
• Corporate and administration expenses of $1,198,311 (30 June 2017: $962,971); and
• Corporate restructure cost (non-cash) of $Nil following the acquisition (30 June 2017: $4,574,424).
In addition, the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018 was impacted by:
• A share placement of 75,000,000 shares to raise $3,750,000; and
• Proceeds from the exercise of 18,500,000 options which raised $370,000.
Review of operations
The PainChek® technology uses cameras in smartphones and tablets to capture a brief video of the
person, which is analysed in real time using facial recognition software to detect the presence of facial
micro- expressions that are indicative of the presence of pain. The PainChek® technology has been TGA
and CE mark cleared for use as a class 1 medical device to assess pain in people who are unable to
verbalise.
The Company has focused on commercialisation of the PainChek® Adult “Dementia” App within Australia
and has built a small but highly effective “go to market” team comprised of experienced sales, marketing,
clinical and technical personnel to drive the process. We have conducted a significant number of
customer trials, typically spanning a 4-6-week period, across large, medium and small sized Residential
Aged Care (RAC) clients with the vast majority of them either resulting in a commercial agreement or
moving forwards towards negotiating an agreement.
As of 30th June 2018, we had one-year subscription license agreements in place with 6 Residential Aged
Care clients and Dementia Support Australia and a large pipeline of new commercial opportunities which
represents around 9% of the total beds in Australian Residential Aged Care. In addition, more than 2,000
PainChek® clinical pain assessments had been conducted on more than 500 people living with dementia
within Australia, thus establishing PainChek® as a new, valid pain assessment tool for people unable to
verbalise their pain within the Australian Aged Care market.

Performance Income as a Proportion of total compensation
In December 2017, a discretionary performance based bonus totaling $25,000 plus superannuation was paid
to Mr Philip Daffas, the Company’s managing director for services rendered for the year ended 30 September
2017. A further discretionary performance bonus of $40,000 including superannuation has been agreed to
be paid to Mr Daffas for the 9 months ended 30 June 2018. As this is discretionary and not predetermined,
there is no non-vesting proportion for cash bonuses.
Remuneration Policy of Key Management Personnel
The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is set to attract and retain the most
qualified and experienced Directors and senior executives. The Board ensures that executive reward
satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
• Competitiveness
• Acceptability to shareholders
• Performance linkage
• Capital management
Non-executive Directors
The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for
time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and
reviews their remuneration annually based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum
aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at
the Annual General Meeting and is currently set at $250,000. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked
to the performance of the Company.
As at 30 June 2018, Non-Executive Directors fees were payable as follows:
• Non-Executive Chairman receives a fee of $80,000 per annum including superannuation.

in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2018
1.
Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
PainChek Ltd (formerly known as EPAT Technologies Ltd), (the “Group”) is a listed public company,
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The entity’s principal activities are development and
commercialization of mobile medical device applications that provide pain assessment for
individuals that are unable to communicate with their carers.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance
with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies
with other requirements of the law.
The financial information has been prepared on the accruals basis and is based on historical costs
and does not take into account changing money values. Cost is based on the fair values of the
consideration given in exchange for assets.
Statement of Compliance
The financial report was authorised for issue on 27 August 2018.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian
equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures
that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Adoption of New and Revised Standards
In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards
and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current
annual reporting period.
As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new
and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no material change is
necessary to Group accounting policies.
Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for
30 June 2018 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment
of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
Title of standard
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
Nature of change
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial
assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a
new impairment model for financial assets.
Impact
The Group has reviewed its financial assets and liabilities and is expecting the
following impact from the adoption of the new standard on 1 July 2018:
The financial assets held by the Group primarily comprise cash and debt
instruments currently measured at amortised cost which meet the conditions for
20
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
classification at amortised cost under AASB 9.
Accordingly, the Group does not expect the new guidance to affect the
classification and measurement of these financial assets.
There will be no impact on the Group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the
new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are
designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Group does not have any
such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been
changed.
The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions
based on expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as is
the case under AASB 139. It applies to financial assets classified at amortised
cost, debt instruments measured at FVOCI, contract assets under AASB 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers, lease receivables, loan commitments
and certain financial guarantee contracts. Based on the assessments undertaken
to date, the Group expects no significant increase in the loss allowance for trade
debtors.
The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and
changes in presentation. These may change the nature and extent of the Group’s
disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption
of the new standard.
Date of adoption
by Group
Must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2018. The
Group will apply the new rules retrospectively from 1 July 2018, with the
practical expedients permitted under the standard.
Title of standard
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Nature of change
The AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will
replace AASB 118 which covers revenue arising from the sale of goods and the
rendering of services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts.
Impact
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 the adoption.
Management has assessed the effects of applying the new standard on the
group’s financial statements and has not identified any areas that will be
affected.
The application of AASB 15 may result in the identification of separate
performance obligations in relation to certain contracts which could affect the
timing of the recognition of revenue going forward.
In the early stages of this business, revenue is not significant and the impact from
this change is not material.
Date of adoption
by Group
Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2018. The Group
intends to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach which
means that the cumulative impact of the adoption, if any, will be recognised in
retained earnings as of 1 July 2018 and that comparatives will not be restated.
21
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
Title of standard
AASB 16 Leases
Nature of change
Impact
AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It will result in almost all leases being
recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and
finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the
leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only
exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.
The accounting for lessors will not significantly change.
The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the Group’s operating
leases. As at the reporting date, the Group has no non-cancellable operating
lease commitments. It is therefore not yet possible to estimate the amount of
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that will have to be recognised on
adoption of the new standard and how this may affect the Group’s profit or loss
and classification of cash flows going forward.
Mandatory
application
date/Date
of
adoption by Group
Mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2019. At this stage,
the Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date. The
Group intends to apply the simplified transition approach and will likely not
restate comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption.
Comparatives - Reverse acquisition
PainChek Ltd (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited) acquired Electronic Pain Assessment
Technologies (EPAT) Pty Ltd on 23 September 2016. From a legal and taxation perspective PainChek
is considered the acquiring entity. However, the acquisition has the features of a reverse acquisition
as described in the Australian Accounting Standard AASB3 “Business Combinations” (AASB 3)
notwithstanding PainChek Limited being the legal parent of the Group. At the time of the
acquisition PainChek Ltd divested all of its operations, and its activities were limited to managing its
cash balances, filing obligations (ie, a listed shell), and completion of the acquisition. It is therefore
considered that PainChek Ltd will not be a business for the purposes of AASB3 as it will have no
processes or outputs.
The transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse acquisition from a consolidated
perspective, where Electronic Pain Assessment Technologies (EPAT) Pty Ltd is the accounting
acquirer and PainChek Ltd is the legal acquirer. The comparatives in the financial report includes
the consolidated financial statements of the PainChek Limited group for the period 23 September
2016 to 30 June 2017 and represents a continuation of Electronic Pain Assessment Technologies
(EPAT) Pty Ltd financial statements with exception of the capital structure. The amount recognised
as equity instruments in these consolidated statements represents the issued equity of PainChek
Limited adjusted to reflect the equity issued by PainChek Ltd on acquisition. Refer to note 13 on
issued capital and note 19 on the accounting for the acquisition.
Under the reverse acquisition principles, the consideration provided by Electronic Pain Assessment
Technologies (EPAT) Pty Ltd was determined to be $4,422,069 which is the deemed fair value of the
222,103,433 shares owned by the former ePAT Technologies Limited / MinQuest Limited
shareholders at the completion of the acquisition, valued at the capital raising share price.
The excess of the deemed fair value of the shares owned by the PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT
Technologies Limited / MinQuest Limited) shareholders and the fair value of the identifiable net
liabilities of PainChek Limited immediately prior to the completion of the merger is accounted for
under “AASB 2 “Share–based Payment” and resulted in the recognition of $4,574,424 being
recorded as “Corporate Restructure Expense”. The net assets of PainChek Limited were recorded at
fair value at completion of the merger. No adjustments were required to the historical values.
22
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
Going concern basis
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in
the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity has net operating cash outflows for
the year of $2,913,032 (30 June 2017: $1,577,879) and as at 30 June 2018 has cash and cash
equivalents of $3,606,115 (30 June 2017: $2,630,019). The consolidated entity also generated a loss
after tax of $4,810,532 (30 June 2017: $8,473,802).
The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon
one or more of the following conditions:
•
•
the ability of the consolidated entity to raise sufficient capital and when necessary; and
the successful commercialisation of its intellectual property in a manner that generates
sufficient operating cash inflows.
These conditions give rise to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the
consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors believe that the going
concern basis of preparation is appropriate due to its recent history of raising capital and the
significant progress made on exploiting its intellectual property.
Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to
realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at
amounts that differ from those stated in the financial report. This financial report does not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the
consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern.
Significant accounting policies of the Company
Set out below are the significant accounting policies that have been applied in the preparation of
the consolidated financial statements:
(a)
Revenue and other income
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the company
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable.
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken
delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid
sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts.
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a
method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income
over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying
amount of the financial asset.
Grants and other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment
is established.
23
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
(b)
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of all subsidiaries of the
Company and the results of all subsidiaries from the date that control was obtained. The
Company controls another entity when the Company is exposed to, or has the 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 fully transferred. They are
deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
The financial statement of the subsidiary is prepared for the same reporting period as the parent
company, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions,
income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been
eliminated in full.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A
change in ownership interest without a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the
financial statements. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-
controlling interests in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets
including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary, together with any
cumulative translation differences in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of
the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gains
or losses in profit or loss.
(c)
Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws
used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance
date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
▪
▪
when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of
goodwill or of 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 profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the
reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-
forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward
of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
24
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
▪
▪
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary
difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax
asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary
difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow
all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax
assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in
profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists
to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and
liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(d)
Impairment of Assets
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired.
If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount
is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an
individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to
be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash
generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating
unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are
recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless
the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a
revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that
previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such
indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss
is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot
25
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit
or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a
revaluation increase.
After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s
revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful
life.
(e)
Share-based Payment Transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured 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 a suitable option pricing model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other
than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in
equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending
on the date on which the relevant recipient of the equity becomes fully entitled to the award
(the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until
vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s
best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is
made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these
conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The income statement
charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at
the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where
vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if
the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that
increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial
to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation,
and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new
award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date
that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the
original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
(f)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current
liabilities in the statement of financial position.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes on hand and other funds held at
call net of bank overdrafts.
26
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
(g)
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are
generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be
uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for
impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the 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 (more than 60 days overdue) are
considered indicators that the trade receivable may be 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.
(h)
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 plant
and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant and equipment
Less than 5 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future
economic benefit to the company. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the
disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
(i)
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company 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.
(j)
Employee benefits
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.
27
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
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 are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional
right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the
reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expect future
wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected
future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national
government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the
estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which
they are incurred.
(k)
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.
(l)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group,
adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity, divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group,
adjusted for:
•
•
costs of servicing equity;
the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been
outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares;
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary
shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
•
• other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result
from the dilution of potential ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
(m)
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective
restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional (third) statement of
financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum
comparative financial statements is presented.
(n)
Significant accounting judgements and key estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
28
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
In preparing these statements, the key estimates made by management in applying the
Company’s accounting policies have been applied to the valuation of share-based payments,
refer to note 14.
In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty have
been applied to the reverse acquisition, refer to note 19.
(o)
Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for
the current reporting period
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and
effective for the current year.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current
year that are relevant to the Consolidated Entity do not have any material impact on the disclosures
or the amounts recognised in the Company’s financial statements.
2.
Segment information
Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where 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. The Group operates predominantly in one segment, being the sale of
its pain assessment solutions. The primary financial statements reflects this segment.

15.3 Financial risk management objectives
In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of
financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for
managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in
respect of those risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its
objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them
from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.
The board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management
objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the
authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the
objectives and policies to the Group’s finance function.
The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the
potential impacts of these risks on the Group where such impacts may be material. The board
receives monthly financial reports through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put
in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. The overall objective of the
board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the
Group’s competitiveness and flexibility.
15.4 Market risk
Market risk for the Group arises from the use of interest bearing financial instruments. It is the
risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in interest rate (see 15.5 below).
15.5
Interest rate risk management
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for
both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end on the reporting period.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for
both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end on the reporting period.
If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant,
the Group’s loss for the year ended 30 June 2018 would increase/decrease by $36,000 (2017:
$26,300).
38
PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
15.6 Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting
in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the
risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group only transacts with entities that are rated the
equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating
agencies where available and, if not available, the Group uses other publicly available financial
information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and
the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of
transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-
ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
15.7 Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has
established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the
Group’s short-, medium- and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The
Group manages liquidity by maintaining adequate banking facilities, by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and
liabilities.

PainChek Limited (formerly ePAT Technologies Limited)
19. Business Combination – Reverse acquisition (comparatives)
Subsidiary acquired
On 25 July 2016 the Company executed a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of one
hundred percent of the issued capital of Electronic Pain Assessment Technologies (EPAT) Pty Ltd.
The consideration for this acquisition was made up as follows:
(i) 213,219,616 shares to be issued at completion; and
(ii) $1,000,000 worth of shares to be issued if the Company announces that either of
the following milestones have been met within 12 months from the date of
completion of the acquisition:
(A) Regulatory approval having been received to enable commercial use of
the PainChek App in Australia, the United States of America or Europe. (In
this context, “Regulatory Approval” means approval by the Therapeutic
Goods Administration of Australia, Food and Drug Administration of the
United States, or a CE mark from the relevant authority in Europe); or
(B) the execution of a binding licence agreement to licence the PainChek App
to:
▪
▪
▪
one or more residential aged care facility owners managing in
total in excess of 150 beds;
one or more medical clinics which service in total in excess of
2,000 patients per year;
a metropolitan hospital with in excess of 200 beds;
(each an "End User”) or
▪
a global distribution partner with multiple End Users as existing
customers.
From a legal and taxation perspective PainChek Ltd is considered the acquiring entity. However,
the acquisition has the features of a reverse acquisition as described in the Australian Accounting
Standard AASB 3 “Business Combinations” notwithstanding PainChek Ltd being the legal parent of
the Group. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition from a consolidated
perspective, where Electronic Pain Assessment Technologies (EPAT) Pty Ltd is the accounting
acquirer and PainChek Limited is the legal acquirer.
The excess of the fair value of the shares owned by the PainChek Ltd shareholders and the fair
value of the identifiable net assets of PainChek Ltd immediately prior to the completion of the
merger is accounted for under “AASB 2 “Share –based Payment” and resulted in the recognition
of $4,574,424 being recorded as “Corporate Restructure Expense”. The net assets of PainChek Ltd
were recorded at fair value at completion of the merger. No adjustments were required to the
historical values.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the members of PainChek Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of PainChek Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, 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, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the 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.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which
give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s
ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and
discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.
Purchase of nViso license
Key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included, but were not limited
to:
•
•
•
•
Reviewing the licence agreement to
understand the key terms and conditions,
and confirming our understanding of the
transaction with management;
Reviewing the basis for the accounting
treatment adopted by management which
included confirming that the recognition
criteria for intangible assets were not met;
Reviewing the measurement of the share
based payment and deferred cash elements
of the consideration; and
Assessing the adequacy of the Group's
disclosures of the acquisition.
As disclosed in Note 5 (Loss for the year) and Note
13 (Issued capital) of the financial report, the
Group entered into a licence agreement for the
use of certain artificial intelligence technology.
The consideration amount comprised the following:
•
•
•
31,250,000 fully paid ordinary shares;
$300,000 in cash on signing the agreement;
and
$92,500 in deferred cash consideration.
The audit of the accounting for this licence is a key
audit matter due to the:
•
•
•
•
Significant judgement involved in assessing
whether the recognition criteria for intangible
assets were not met and why the licence was
expensed;
Measurement of the share based payment and
deferred cash elements of the consideration;
The transaction is material in the context of
the audit and significant to the financial
statements; and
The presentation, measurement and
disclosures around this transaction are
important in the users’ understanding of the
financial statements.

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information contained in Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
