“Better pain identification 
and better medication 
management means a better 
quality of life for people 
receiving aged care.” – 
Aged Care Minister Ken Wyatt. 
29/4/19  

 
Chairman’s Letter 

Dear Shareholders, 

During the 2020 Financial Year, PainChek® like most businesses was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our initial target 
markets of residential aged care in Australia and the UK were significantly impacted from March 2020 onwards, as the sector went into 
lockdown, impacting our ability to sell to and implement new customers domestically and internationally. It is a credit to the management 
team that we were able to adjust to a digital sales and delivery model utilising the benefits of a digital technology and deliver strong 
growth in contracted and implemented bed licences, which were up 481% and 412% respectively on the prior year. 

The Company now has around 25 per cent of the aged care market in Australia under two or three-year agreements at 30 June 2020 and 
is targeting 75 per cent market penetration in Australia by June 2021 – approximately 160,000 beds of which approximately 100,000 are 
expected to be occupied by dementia or cognitively impaired residents. This growth was supported by the Australian Federal Government 
grant to PainChek® and their agreement, due to the impact of COVID-19, to extend the grant period through to May 2021. 

Our first product, the PainChek® adult dementia App, continues to be well received in residential aged care and is clearly unique. We have 
successfully integrated it into the leading clinical care systems in Australia and the UK. During FY2021 we plan to introduce it into the 
Home Care sector for elderly people living with dementia and cognitive impairment subject to successful trials which are underway. 

The COVID-19 pandemic also prevented us from commencing clinical trials for our adult dementia App in the USA, and our new infants 
App  in  Australia.  In  both  cases  we  have  done  much  of  the  planning  required  to  commence  trials  when  circumstances  allow  and 
commenced an alternate clinical research approach for the infants App in order to achieve the CE and TGA regulatory clearance goal in 
2021. In the USA we are awaiting FDA clearance for our pre-submission Application on the proposed trials for the dementia App. 

Our growth was achieved by the existing small team as we delayed plans to expand operations and contained costs. We are well placed to 
continue international expansion and expand the team when circumstances permit, as subsequent to the year-end we raised an additional 
$10m in equity capital. 

Our share price performance was disappointing falling from $0.20 on 1st July 2019 to $11.5 cents at 30 June 2020. We believe we will 
improve our share price by continuing to execute on our existing identified opportunities in Australia as well as penetrate international 
markets. 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

Review of Operations 

Initial market opportunity 

PainChek’s®  mission  is  to  give  a  voice  to  people  who  cannot 
verbalise  their  pain.  The  PainChek®  App  uses  cameras 
in 
smartphones and tablets to capture a brief video of a person that is 
analysed in real time for facial micro-expressions that indicate pain. 
These objective measures are combined with a behavioral checklist 
to assess pain severity scores for adults who cannot verbalise their 
pain or for a child who is yet to learn to speak. 

The all-digital assessment tool eliminates paperwork, automatically 
logs pain scores over time and integrates into clinical care systems. 
It  helps  care  homes  meet  accreditation  standards  and  protects 
income and revenues.  

The PainChek® Adult App has been TGA and CE mark cleared for use 
as  a  Class  I  medical  device.  The  science  behind  PainChek®  is 
validated  by  five  peer-reviewed  scientific  publications  in  leading 
journals.  PainChek®  has  received  a  Class  1  CE  Mark  and  TGA 
clearances, with FDA review in process. The Company is currently 
going  through  an  FDA  De  Novo  application  for  approval  of  the 
PainChek® Adult App to clearthe way for launch in the US market. 

Mission, Capability & Values 

Our customers are our 
focus in everything we do. 

Pain  assessments  are  subjective  and  difficult  in  the  best  of 
circumstance.  They  are  profoundly  challenging  in  two  extreme 
groups: those with dementia and other cognitive impairments who 
have  lost  their  ability  to  reliably  report  their  pain  levels,  and  
pre-verbal  children.  For  these  people,  pain  is  often  missed  or 
misdiagnosed. 

Around  the  world  there  are  an  estimated  50  million  people  with 
dementia, a number that is estimated to grow to 75 million by 2025. 
On average there are three carers for each person with dementia, 
and these carers are the primary users of the PainChek® Adult App. 
Worldwide there are estimated to be 6.96 million aged care beds, 
with 43.5 million individuals estimated to be living with dementia 
at home. 

There  are  another  400  million  children  aged  0  to  3-year-olds 
worldwide, and each year an estimated 50 million people become 
parents for the first time. Annually, 100 million children are born in 
or pass through hospitals each year. Parents and practitioners 
can have difficulty discerning whether these pre-verbal children are 
in genuine pain or just crying from discomfort or hunger. 

Traditionally, pain assessments are conducted by manual pen and 
paper methods, making it a process ready for disruption. By 
using video and artificial intelligence to automate facial expression 
assessment, PainChek® reduces subjectivity. 

We strive to innovate around the  
design and delivery of excellent  
products and services to our customers. 

The  all-digital  nature  of  the  PainChek®  app  can  eliminate 
duplication  of  paperwork,  integrate  automatically  into  medical 
records and automatically logs pain scores over time. 

We establish trust and deal with integrity 
in interactions with our customers, 
suppliers, partners and people. 

The  data  collected  using  PainChek®  is  available  to  RAC  managers 
and staff through the PainChek® portal, providing a clear snapshot 
of the status of its residents and their pain situation at any given 
point in time.

Australian sales 

Australia has been used as an important proving ground for PainChek® and has generated substantial and growing 
adoption of the technology. Particularly during the past 12 months the Company has achieved rapid growth, building on its Software 
as a Service business model. Contracted clients grew 547 per cent, going from 32 to 207. The number of contracted aged care facilities 
increased 509 per cent, from 142 to 722. The number of total approved beds increased 481 per cent, from 10,590 to 61,571.

Total Contracted Clients 

Contracted RAC Facilities 

Major clients acquired  during the year include Aegis Aged Care 
Group,  Juniper  (Uniting  WA),  Ozcare,  Infinte  Aged  Care,  Royal 
Freemasons, RSL Lifecare and Baptistcare NSW & ACT. 

Assessments conducted 
under COVID-19 

The  Company  had  approximately  27  per  cent  of  the  aged  care 
market in Australia under two or three-year agreements at 
30 June 2020, and is targeting 75 per cent market penetration in 
Australia  by  June  2021  –  approximately  160,000  beds  of  which 
approximately 100,000 are expected to be occupied by dementia 
or cognitively impaired residents. 

The  61,571  total  beds  now  under  license  translate  to  $2.66 
million in normalised contracted Annualized Recurring Revenue 
(ARR)  in  Year  2  of  client  contracts,  on  the  assumption  that  the 
clients do not terminate their contracts after the initial 12-month 
grant period. 

In recognition of the importance of caring for vulnerable citizens 
with dementia, in April 2019 the Federal Government agreed to 
pay $5 million for a national trial of PainChek® in the Australian 
residential aged care market. 

“Better  pain  identification  and  better  medication  management 
means a better quality of life for people receiving aged care.” | 
– Aged Care Minister Ken Wyatt. 

In December 2019, PainChek® received its first revenue from the 
support program, receiving an upfront payment of 
$500,000 from the Department  of Health. It later  received two 
payments of $1.25 million each, in March 2020 and June 2020, 
with the first of these recognised as revenue in FY2020 for hitting 
license targets. 

Due  to  the  impact  of  COVID-19,  the  original  grant  term  of  one 
year  has  been  extended  by  another  seven  months,  to  31  
impairment  
If  100,000  dementia/cognitive 
May  2021. 
related  licenses  are  not  activated  by  then,  a  pro-rata  amount 
based on the number of such licenses issued will be paid. 

As of 30 June 2020, there had been more than 135,000 PainChek® 
assessments  conducted,  up  from  40,000  as  of  July  2019.  There  
have  been  34,000  assessments  per  quarter,  and  the  trend  is 
increasing.Regular  pain  assessments  are  of  even  greater 
importance for the vulnerable during COVID-19, as chronic pain may 
be associated with an impaired immune system. 

The PainChek® design is unique and its availability is timely given 
the  COVID-19  challenges,  allowing  carers  to  safely  and  rapidly 
conduct  a  pain  assessment  that  complies  with  social  distancing 
requirements and infection control procedures, minimising the risk 
for patients, residents and their carers. 

“PainChek®  has  transformed  the  way  we  monitor  and  treat  pain 
with  those  residents  living  with  dementia.  Under  the  restrictions 
required for COVID-19, PainChek ® has been even more beneficial. 
As a non-contact digital healthcare solution supportive of our social 
distancing  requirements,  we  have  continued  to  use  PainChek  ®  
to  safely  assess  our  residents  living  with  dementia  and  cognitive 
impairment.”  –  Jim  Murray,  Facility  Manager,  Allambie  Heights 
Village. 

PainChek® remote digital delivery capability allows for full business 
continuity during COVID-19. 

COVID-19  has  significantly  impacted  the  normal  routines  of 
hospitals and the residential aged care sector, with facilities going 
into  lockdown  mode  to  focus  on  protecting  their  vulnerable 
residents during the pandemic. 

The  Company  has  successfully  pivoted  to  using  its  remote  digital 
capability  to  continue  to  deliver  PainChek®  to  clients  around  the 
world. The digital capability allows the Company to sell, install, train 
and  provide  technical  support  to  the  PainChek®  App  to  all 
residential aged care facilities, even during lockdown. This is a key 
capability which can be leveraged on a global basis as the Company 
extends further into international markets.

We are seeking to confirm that these studies will provide FDA with 
all the necessary data to support a successful PainChek® Adult de 
novo US clearance application. 

Commencement  of  all  clinical  trials  in  the  USA  has  been  delayed 
because of COVID-19. The Company remains in close contact with 
the  relevant  trial  partners  and  is  ready  to  progress  once  the 
situation improves. 

While the UK market expansion has also been impacted due to the 
current global pandemic, PainChek® UK received its first orders in 
December, from aged care Person Centred Software UK. 

The PainChek® UK team has taken the opportunity to build 
a  revised  marketing  strategy  to  support  aged  care  during  the 
pandemic  and  accelerate  sales  as  aged  care  facilities  can  re- 
commence with new projects. The team successfully created and 
led  a  number  of  sector  webinars  to  raise  awareness  across 
residential aged care. 

In November 2019, PainChek® signed its first license agreement in 
New  Zealand,  with  Enliven  (Presbyterian  Support  Southland),  to 
integrate  across  the  five  Enliven  aged  care  homes  in  the  South 
Island.  The  agreement  followed  a  successful  trial  at  Enliven’s 
Peacehaven Village home. 

“With  this  app,  we  can  unobtrusively  carry  out  a  clinical  pain 
assessment in just a few minutes and even in circumstances when 
a patient is resting. You know it’s a win-win situation when you’re 
embracing  new  technology  which  helps  deliver  timely  and better 
client care, and it’s also providing your staff, as carers, with an easier 
and  improved  work  environment.”  –  Carol  Riddle,  Peacehaven 
Manager. 

PainChek® remote digital delivery 
capability allows for full business 
continuity during COVID-19 

This  digital  capability  also  leverages  the  PainChek®  e-learning 
platforms, providing education to the clients and allowing 
them to continue with their work without face to face interaction. 

As of 30 June 2020: 

192 providers managing 612 
facilities have been given access 
to PainChek® and training 

1,338 staff have 
been trained 

144 on-line workshops which 
have trained 932 staff 

406 staff have completed the 
PainChek® e-learning platform 

Based on the PainChek® “train-the-trainer” 
approach, a total of 3,875 staff are now  
registered to use PainChek®. 

“With  the  advent  of  COVID-19,  IRT  Group  rapidly  changed  its 
rollout  approach  to  PainChek®,  adopting  a  remote  training 
approach  and  running  in  excess  of  72  video  conferencing 
sessions  across  its  21  residential  aged  care  centres.  The 
PainChek® app has allowed IRT to provide employees with an 
innovative pain assessment and management tool that enables 
them to practice safe distancing whilst assessing and managing 
resident pain.” – Alex Reed, Strategic Projects Manager, Aged 
Care Centres at Illawarra Retirement Trust (IRT) 

Global growth 

In  June,  PainChek®  submitted  for  regulatory  clearance  with 
Canada Health to enter Canadian markets as a Class 1 regulatory 
cleared device. Canada Health has a 120-day review timeframe 
for  PainChek’s®  application,  which  could  allow  PainChek®  to 
enter  the  Canadian  market  as  a  cleared  regulatory  device  as 
early as fourth quarter of calendar 2020. 

The  Canadian  opportunity  is  considerable,  consisting  of  250,000 
aged  care  beds  and  strong  government  funding  for  health  care. 
Entry into Canada will serve as a beachhead in North America in 
preparation for US FDA De Novo clearance targeted in 2021 and 
launch in 2022. 

In the United States, the Company has submitted a Supplement to 
its  initial  Pre-submission  Application  to  the  FDA  seeking  their 
feedback  on  the  planned  human  factors  validation  testing  and 
clinical  trials  protocols  developed  by  our  research  partners, 
Healthcare Human Factors and Donawa Lifesciences.

Home care market 

PainChek® has recently started a number of pilot trial sites with 
the PainChek® “Shared Care” App in the Australian Home Care 
market. This includes a pilot in Victoria with a large international 
broker of home care services and with two of our existing aged 
care clients, both of whom are amongst the top 20 largest Home 
Care providers. 

The Company has formed a working team to manage these pilots 
and build a sustainable market entry strategy, with the intention 
of entering the Australian market in the fourth quarter of 2020 
and  overseas  in  2021.  A  recent  KPMG  report  confirmed  
the  government  funded  Home  Care  market  to  be  valued  at 
$2.1 billion. 

Intellectual property 

Over  the  course  of  the  year  PainChek®  strengthened  its 
intellectual property portfolio, securing patents in Australia, the 
United States and Japan for its pain assessment app. A patent in 
China  was  granted  in  August  2020.  Patent  applications  have 
been submitted in Europe and the United Kingdom. 

PainChek®  also  completed  the  registration  of  its  trademark  in 
the  USA  and  the  European  Union.  Protecting  intellectual 
property  is  a  crucial  step  forward  for  growing  the  PainChek® 
brand internationally. 

PainChek® Infant app 

PainChek® has leveraged the same facial recognition technology 
from  its  app  to  measure  pain  in  people  with  dementia  and 
cognitive impairments, to create a trial app for use on babies and 
toddlers. 

A  research  agreement  is  in  place  with  Melbourne’s  Murdoch 
Children’s  Research  Institute  to  conduct  a  clinical  trial  of  
a  PainChek®  Infant  App  on  100  infants  undergoing  painful 
procedures. 

Considerable preparatory work has been done to set up for this 
including ethics approvals, trial protocols and the development 
of the trial Infant App. 

However, with the developments related to the COVID-19 crisis 
in  Melbourne,  this  trial  is  on  hold.  Once  restrictions  on  non-
COVID-related research are lifted the study will resume. 

In  the  interim,  PainChek®  is  pursuing  other  methods  and 
partners  to  evaluate  the  performance  of  the  PainChek®  Infant 
App without relying on live trials with the goal of achieving TGA 
and CE mark regulatory clearance during calendar 2021. 

Philips Healthcare collaboration 

PainChek® was selected from more than 2,000 start-ups to work 
with  Phillips  Healthcare’s  global  collaboration  program  with 
early stage companies. The HealthWorks programme is designed 
to identify best in class new healthcare technologies that fit with 
the Philips’ business and strategy. 

The Company has  been working with Philips to use PainChek® 
facial  pain  indicators  along  with  other  classic  patient  vital  
signs  measures  to  assess  the  risk  of  delirium  for  a  patient  in 
hospital care. 

The  parties  have  also  been  communicating  around  how 
PainChek’s® pain assessment technology fits into the Philips global 
pain  management  strategy,  following  the  Philips  HealthWorks 
Global  Breakthrough  sessions  in  Eindhoven,  the  Netherlands,  in 
December 2019. 

The parties are aiming to progress and finalise these collaborations, 
so  they  are  ready  to  jointly  execute  immediately  following  the 
easing of COVID-19 restrictions. 

Summary 

While  COVID-19  impacted  the  Company’s  research  programmes 
and  international  expansion  in  the  second  half  of  the  year,  the 
Company successfully pivoted to continue to deliver its product and 
services and maintain solid growth. 

PainChek® has become the most licensed digital clinical tool across 
Australian Residential Aged Care and the Company now plans on 
expanding into the Home Care sector. 

The  upcoming  goals  for  the  year  include  continued  market 
penetration with our dementia App into aged care in Australia and 
the UK and developing our market entry strategy into aged care in 
continental  Europe  where  we  have  regulatory  clearance.  We  will 
also  expand  into  the  Canadian  aged  care  sector  subject  to 
regulatory approval. We aim to significantly progress our path to 
the  aged  care  market  in  the  USA  through  conducting  successful 
clinical  trials  we  have  planned  for  the  FDA  clearance  process.  In 
Australia  we  aim  to  expand  use  of  our  dementia  App  into  home 
aged  care  if  our  pilots  are  successful.  Finally,  we  aim  to  conduct 
successful trials and obtain regulatory clearance in Australia for our 
infant App. 

The company continues to gain recognition internationally and will 
continue to work with partners such as Phillips Healthcare to enter 
new geographic markets and new healthcare segments.

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 2020, after accounting for income tax benefit, amounted 
to $12,392,659 (2019: $3,262,418). The year ended 30 June 2020 operating results are attributed to the 
following:

In addition, the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020 was impacted by: 

•  Proceeds from capital raising of $1,000,000; and 
•  Proceeds from the exercise of 121,967,121 options which raised $2,561,704. 

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, such 
people with dementia. 

The PainChek® Adult App has been clinically proven and regulatory cleared, and in April 2019 the Federal 
Government  announced  it  would  invest  $5M  to  facilitate  the  implementation  of  the  PainChek®  app  in 
Australian residential aged care centers (RAC’s). More than 150,000 clinical pain assessments have been 
conducted in Australian aged care, with an increasing number of case study reports confirming the clinical 
and cost benefit. 

There  are  now  more  than  61,000  beds  in  722  RAC  facilities  that  have  been  contracted  with  annual 
subscription  agreements  in  Australia  and  annual  recurring  revenue  (ARR)  exceeding  $2.6  million  when 
implemented.  This  varies  to  the  revenue  recognised  in  the  income  statement  in  accordance  with  the 
Group’s  accounting  policy  for  Reveue  set  out  on  page  29.  ARR  is  projected  to  accelerate  with  the 
government funding initiative and international expansion. 

At 30 June 2020 there were 24,435 active licensed beds in RACs, up from 4,725 beds at 30 June 2019. There 
was a backlog of over 35,000 contracted beds at 30 June 2020 planned to be implemented after the year 
end. 

We have entered international markets in the UK through the establishment of our fully owned subsidiary 
PainChek UK and a distribution partnership with PCS UK. New sales have commenced in New Zealand and 
Singapore  and  we  continue  to  finalize  other  international  agreements  to  address  the  large  market 
opportunities and the 50 million people living with dementia globally. 

While COVID 19 has significantly impacted the PainChek® Adult App FDA studies, we have completed the 
clinical protocols and established a range of clinical partners to commence the US based clinical work once 
as  soon  as  it  is  possible.  In  addition,  as  the  Children’s  clinical  study  work  with  the  Murdoch  Children’s 
Research Institute has been delayed, we have commenced with an alternate clinical study approach for 
the Children’s App. The Children’s App serves an even larger market, where globally there are more than 
400 million children between the aged of 0-3 years. 

These  achievements  are  a  reflection  of  the  transformational  impact  PainChek  App  has  on  pain 
management  and  the  provision  of  better  medication  treatment  for  residents  living  with  dementia  and 
other communication difficulties. 

Likely Developments and Overview of Group Strategy 

The Company will continue with the commercialisation of the PainChek® technology in Australia and the 
UK as the priorities and continue to assess global opportunities. We have applied for regulatory clearance 
in Canada to allow for a 2021 entry into the Canadian market. We continue to receiving overseas interest 
including UK, Germany, US and Asia, which will support our international market expansion strategy.

Our collaboration with  Philips Healthcare was established  in  2019  and  both  parties are entering into a 
research  collaboration  in  Europe  and  assessing  a  range  of  the  global  technology  collaboration 
opportunities in the hospital sector. The business market segments being pursued by the Company include 
RAC Operators, Health Care Professionals, Home Care Operators and Direct to Home Carers. In parallel, 
we are developinga strategy for the consumer version of the Painchek® Adult. This will be commercialised 
initially through a “shared care” model that allows healthcare professionals to provide access to PainChek® 
for  family  and  friends  caring  for  dementia  patients  in  the  home  to  use.    We  have  finalised  the  agreed 
additional clinical validation work required for the de novo regulatory application with FDA for approval of 
our  PainChek®  Adult  App  in  the  US  market.  This  work  is  budgeted,  and  we  continue  to  project  FDA 
clearance for the PainChek® Adult App during 2021. 

The adapted PainChek kids PainFaces clinical study provides for the use of video analysis to asses clinical 
pain levels. The results and learnings from the research will support applications for regulatory approval 
of PainChek® Infant’s App with the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA), CE Mark, Europe in 2021 
and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA in 2022. This will be in addition to any outcomes 
derived from planned clinical studies with Murdoch Children’s Research Institute during 2021. 

Subsequent events 

On  11  August  2020,  the  group  announced  a  capital  raising  of  $10,000,000  (before  costs)  by  way  a 
placement of 90,909 091 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.11 per share. The funds were received and the 
shares allotted on 17 August 2020. Otherwise, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of 
the year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results 
of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years. 

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

Remuneration Policy 

The remuneration policy of the Group has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and 
business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in  
line with market rates. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and 
effective in its ability to attract and retain the best Directors to run and manage the Company, as well as 
create goal congruence between Directors and shareholders. 

The  Board’s  policy  for  determining  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for  board  members  is  as 
follows: 
•  The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive Directors and other senior 

• 

staff members, was developed and approved by the Board. 
In  determining  competitive  remuneration  rates,  the  Board  considers  local  and  international  trends 
among comparative companies and the industry generally so that executive remuneration is in line with 
market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward practices. 

•  All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), 

superannuation and fringe benefits. 

Performance Based Remuneration 

The  Company  is  a  technology  development  entity  and  therefore  speculative  in  terms  of  performance. 
Consistent  with  attracting  and  retaining  talented  executives,  Directors  and  senior  executives  are  paid 
market  rates  associated  with  individuals  in  similar  positions  within  the  same  industry.  Options,  equity-
based  performance  incentives  and  cash  bonus’  have  been  and  may  be  further  issued  to  provide  a 
performance- linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Directors and for the future 
performance by the Directors and key management personnel in managing the operations and strategic 
direction of the 

14 | PAINCHEK LIMITED 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Company. All remuneration paid to Directors is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options 
are valued using an appropriate valuation methodology. For details of Directors’ and executives’ interests 
in options and performance rights at year end, refer to section (d) of this remuneration report. 

Short term incentive 

Generally paid in cash and structured, with a focus on delivery of specific short-term objectives aligned with 
the company’s strategies and goals and the Executives role in meeting these targets. 

Remuneration Consultant 

In August 2019, the Company  engaged Eagan Associates Pty Ltd (“Eagan”) to undertake a remuneration 
review of the executive director and non-executive directors salary and fees. Eagan received a fee of $14,700 
to undertake the review and provide remuneration recommendations which are set out below. No other 
advice has been sought from Eagan. 

Non-executive chairman John Murray sought a proposal from Eagan and was the sole contact, therefore 
ensuring as much as possible that Eagan’s recommendations were free from undue influence from KMP to 
whom the recommendations relate. The Board is satisfied that Eagan’s remuneration recommendation was 
made free from  undue  influence by the KMP to whom the  recommendations relate given only the non- 
executive chairman had made contact, Eagan does not provide any other consulting services to the Group 
and does not have any prior or continuing relationship or association with the company or any members of 
the KMP. 

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration 

The remuneration policy has been tailored to align the strategic goals of the Company to create value for 
shareholders, Directors and executives. The Company believes the policy has been effective in in aligning 
the interests of the Company’s key management personnel with the interests of its shareholders. For details 
of  Directors’  and  executives'  interests  in  equity  securities  at  year  end,  refer  to  section  (c)  of  this 
remuneration report.

CEO remuneration review 
The Eagan report recommended that the Company’s CEO remuneration be supplemented with an annual 
grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights for the financial years ended 30 June 2020, 2021 and 2022. 

The  Company  entered  into  a  new  agreement  with  Philip  Daffas  to  increase  his  fixed  and  variable  cash 
remuneration to a maximum of $400,000 per annum which together with the proposed $200,000 grant of 
Performance Rights, will result in total statutory remuneration of $600,000 for FY20. The notional value of 
performance rights  as  set out in the AGM Notice will differ  to  the value  required to be recognised for 
accounting purposes in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments. 
In FY19 total statutory remuneration paid to Philip Daffas was $337,500 (there was no LTI component of 
his statutory remuneration in FY19 as the original 2016 options were expensed in FY17 and FY18). 

The  total  statutory  remuneration  of  $600,000  for  Philip  Daffas  represents  124%  of  the  median  total 
statutory remuneration of $483,812 benchmark in the Health and IT sector for companies with a market 
capitalisation of between $50 million and $200 million. 

The Company received Shareholder approval at the 2019 AGM for the issue of Performance Rights to Philip 
Daffas to the value of $600,000 over the next 3 years with an annual limit of $200,000 for Philip Daffas or 
his nominee(s) to acquire one Share for each Performance Right held pursuant to the LTI Plan and as part 
of Philip Daffas' remuneration. 

The Performance Rights issued for a year will be issued at the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares 
calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory 
results for the financial year preceding the financial year of the grant of the Performance Rights (Award 
Issue Price). 

Vesting of the Performance Rights is conditional on the following: 

a)  50% of the annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights will vest two years after the 
commencement  of  each  vesting  period  on  1  October  of  the  year  of  grant,  subject  to  the 
Company's  Share  price  achieving  a  compounded  annual  increase  in  Share  price  of  15%  p.a. 
(Award Target Price) from the relevant Award Issue Price and provided that Philip Daffas remains 
employed by the Company at that date (unless he is a Good Leaver as defined in the LTI Plan in 
which case he retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share 
price vesting condition); and 

b)  50% of the annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights will vest three years after the 
commencement  of  each  vesting  period  on  1  October  of  the  year  of  grant,  subject  to  the 
Company's Share price achieving a compounded annual increase in Share price of 15% p.a. from 
the  relevant  Award  Issue  Price  and  provided  that  Philip  Daffas  remains  employed  by  the 
Company on that date (unless he is a Good Leaver as defined in the LTI Plan in which case he 
retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share price vesting 
condition). 

The Award Target Price will be calculated based on the  10 days VWAP leading up to and including the 
relevant vesting date.

Director 2016 options – variation of vesting terms 

At the 2019 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the variation of 1/3 of the directors’ 2016 
option terms so that the options vested and were immediately exercisable. 

At the 2016 annual general meeting, shareholders approved the issue of 90,188,155 Options (subject to 
vesting conditions) to directors exercisable at 2 cents per share and expiring on 24 November 2019. Two 
thirds (2/3) of the 2016 Options had vested whilst the remaining one third (1/3) vest once the Company 
generates cumulative revenue of $1 million. 

The number of 2016 Options applicable to each director is set out as follows:

The original vesting condition for 30,066,051 unvested options is that the Company generates 
“cumulative revenue of $1,000,000” by the expiry date of 24 November 2019. 

On  20  November  2019,  shareholders  approved  modification  of  the  vesting  condition  of  30,066,051 
unvested  2016  Options  to  the  Directors  to  achieving  signed  customer  contracts  with  total  annualised 
contracted revenue of at least $1 million by 24 November 2019. Annualised contracted revenue will be 
calculated  based  on  MRR  for  contracts  with  at  least  a  12  month  term,  and  on  the  assumption  that  a 
contract  is  fully  implemented  in  accordance  with  the  contract  terms  and  rolled  out  across  all  the  RAC 
facilities and beds covered under the contract.

Financial impact of the modification of vesting condition of Unvested 2016 Options 

The  Company  incurred  an  additional  non-cash,  share  based  payment  expense  in  FY2020  arising  from 
Shareholder approval to modification of the terms of the unvested 30,066,051 Options. The amount of this 
expense is the increase in fair value of the unvested Options arising from the modification. This increase 
in fair value was calculated on the difference between the market value of the Company’s shares on the 
date  of  approval  and  the  exercise  price  of  2  cents  per  Share  Option,  and  the  adjusted  probability  of 
achieving the modified condition of vesting. If at the date of Shareholder approval, the original condition 
was not met the unvested Share Options would have a nil fair value. If at the date of approval, the Company 
has however achieved the modified condition of vesting there will be a 100% probability of achieving the 
modified vesting condition. The unvested Share Options had a fair value of $8.1m resulting in a non-cash, 
share based payment expense of $8.1 million. 

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

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  $400,000  as  approved  by 
shareholders at the 2019 AGM. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the 
Company. 

Directors’ Fees 

A Director may be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors  determine  where a Director  performs 
special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. A 
Director  may  also  be  reimbursed  for  reasonable  out  of  pocket  expenses  incurred  as  a  result  of  their 
Directorship or any special duties.

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS 
To  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  the  Company  has  indemnified  (fully  insured)  each  director  and  the 
secretary  of  the  Company.  The  liabilities  insured  include  costs  and  expenses  that  may  be  incurred  in 
defending  civil  or  criminal  proceedings  (that  may  be  brought)  against  the  officers  in  their  capacity  as 
officers of the Company or a related body, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the 
officers  in  connection  with  such  proceedings,  other  than  where  such  liabilities  arise  out  of  conduct 
involving a willful 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. The company has not insured against or indemnified its auditor. 

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE GROUP 
The Group is not aware that any person has applied to the court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 
2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group, or to intervene in any proceedings in which the 
Group is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all or part  of those 
proceedings.

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Group with leave of the court under 
section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001. 

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 
The Group may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties 
where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Group and/or the Group are important. 

The Board of Directors has considered the position and is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit 
services  is  compatible  with  the  general  standard  of  independence  for  auditors  imposed  by  the 
Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, 
as set out below, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 for the following reasons: 
• 

all  non-audit  services  have  been  reviewed  to  ensure  they  do  not  impact  the  impartiality  and 
objectivity of the auditor; 
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out 
in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants. 

• 

Details of the  amounts  paid or payable to the auditor, BDO  Audit  Pty Ltd  for  audit services provided 
during the year are set out in note 20 to the financial report.

Notes to the financial statements for  
the year ended 30 June 2020 
1.  Significant accounting policies 

Basis of preparation 
PainChek Ltd (the “Group”) is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The 
group’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 28 August 2020. 

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”). 

Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted 
There are no new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not 
mandatory for 30 June 2020 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. 

Going concern basis 
As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity has net operating cash outflows for 
the year of $1,886,689 (2019: $3,074,896) and as at 30 June 2020 has cash and cash equivalents of 
$6,120,090  (30  June  2019:  $4,562,476). The  consolidated entity  also  generated a  loss after tax of 
$12,392,659 (2019: $3,262,418).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 such, the Group’s ability to continue to 
adopt the going concern assumption will depend upon a  number  of matters including subsequent 
successful raisings in the future of necessary funding and the the successful commercialisation of its 
intellectual property in a manner that generates sufficient operating cash inflows. 

On 11 August 2020 the Group completed a placement from professional and sophisticated investors 
and raised $10,000,000 before costs. Accordingly, existing cash reserves and the proceeds from the 
placement are considered to be adequate to fund the planned expenditure for at least 12 months 
from the date of this report. 

PAINCHEK LIMITED | 33 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Having  carefully  assessed  the  consolidated  entity’s  forecasts  and  its  ability  to  effectively  manage 
expenditures and cash flows from operations, the Directors believe that the Group will continue to 
operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future. 

Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for the current 
reporting period 

AASB 16 Leases became applicable for the current reporting period and the group had to change its 
accounting  policies  as  a  result  of  adopting  AASB  16  Leases.  The  impact  of  the  adoption  of  this 
standard and the new accounting policies are disclosed below. 

AABS 16 Leases 
The Company has adopted AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 which resulted in changes in accounting 
policies. There was no material impact on the amounts disclosed previously and as a result there has 
been no restatement required as a result of reclassification or remeasurement. 

As at the reporting date, the Group had one short-term lease for its premises at suite 401, 35 Lime 
Street, Sydney NSW 2001 for $46,971 as disclosed in Note 6 where the practical experdient has  been 
adopted. Therefore, there has been no amount recognised as a right-of-use asset and lease liability 
recognised  on  adoption  of  the  new  standard  and  no  effect  on  the  Group’s  profit  or  loss  and 
classification of cash flows going forward. 

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: 

Fair Values 
The fair values of Consolidated Entity’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their 
carrying values due to short –term in nature. No financial assets or financial liabilities are readily 
traded on organised markets in standardised form. 

(a) 

Principles 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. 

34 | PAINCHEK LIMITED 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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. 

(b) 

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: 

•  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.

(c) 

Impairment of non – financial 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 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. 

(d) 

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.  

36 | PAINCHEK LIMITED 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The profit or loss 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. 

(e) 

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. 

(f) 

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. 

The group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected 
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Management has 
determined that assessment of expected credit loss associated with trade receivables is 
immaterial. 

(g) 

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 theGroup. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal 
proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

(h) 

Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method These amounts represent liabilities for goods 
and services provided to the Group 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. 

(i) 

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. 

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.. 
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 corporatebonds 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. 

(j) 

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. 

(k) 

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.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Government Grants 

Software subscriptions 

Revenue from the sale of term (subscription) licences is recognised on a straight line basis over the 
subscription term. 

ii) 

Training 

Revenue from the provision of training services is recognised typically at a point in time when the 
Company  has  provided  training  and  has  an  enforceable  right  to  payment  for  its  performance 
completed to date. 

iii) 

Software support (maintenance) 

Revenue  for  software  support  is  recognised  on  a  straight  line  basis  over  the  service  period  as 
performance  obligations  require  the  company  to  respond  to  requests  made  by  customers  to 
provide  technical  product  support  and  unspecified  updates,  upgrades  and  enhancements  on  a 
when-available and if-available basis. 

iv) 

Incremental Costs of obtaining Customer Contracts 

Commissions on software subscriptions are capitalised and amortised over the term, where the 
term is greater than 12 months. 

v) 

Contract Assets (Trade Receivables and Work in progress) 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the 
ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore 
are  all  classified  as  current.  Trade  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  the  amount  of 
consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when 
they are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to 
collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. 

Work in progress represents costs incurred and profit recognised for services that are in progress 
at  balance  date  and  the  Company  has  an  enforceable  right  to  payment  for  its  performance 
completed to date. 

vi) 

Unsatisfied performance obligations 

The  Company  continues  to  recognise  its  contract  liabilities  under  AASB  15  in  respect  of  any 
unsatisfied performance obligations, which are disclosed as Unearned revenue in the Statement of 
Financial Position. 

vii) 

Financing components 

The Company does not recognise adjustments to transition prices or Contract balances where the 
period  between  the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to  the  customer  and  payment  by 
customer does not exceed one year. 
The Company reviewed its prior year contracts and did not identify material adjustments in timing 
and amounts recognised as revenue in prior years. 

Government grants 

viii) 
Government  grants  are  recognised  where  there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  the  grant  will  be 
received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense 
item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for 
which  it  is  intended  to  compensate,  are  expensed.  When  the  grant  relates  to  an  asset,  it  is 
recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

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. No adjustments was made to prior year numbers. 

(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. 

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 15. 
In addition, the Group has formed a view of whether the hurdles of the Government Grant are 
reasonably assured of being met as detailed in notes 5 and 11. 

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.

On 29 April 2019, the Australian Government announced a one-year funded trial of the PainChek 
application for Australians with dementia living in residential aged care facilities. Subsequently in 
December 2019, the Australian Government signed a grant funding contract (total amounting to 
$5 million) with the Company for the national trial of the PainChek application. 

The intended outcome of the grant is to improve diagnosis and management of pain in people 
living with dementia in residential aged care. During this period, PainChek Limited also entered 
into agreements with end users acknowledging the Australian Government grant and allowing for 
the first period of those agreements to be funded in accordance with the Australian Government 
grant agreement. 

During the year, the Group received $3,000,000 pursuant to the terms of the funding contract of 
which  $1,750,000  has  been  recognised  as  income  and  the  balance  of  $1,250,000  has  been 
recognised as deferred income – see note 11.

which case he retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share 
price vesting condition); and 

b)  50% of the annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights will vest three years after the 
commencement  of  each  vesting  period  on  1  October  of  the  year  of  grant,  subject  to  the 
Company's Share price achieving a compounded annual increase in Share price of 15%  p.a. from

16.3  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. 

16.4  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). 

16.5 

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 2020 would increase/decrease by $61,000 (2019: 
$45,000). 

16.6  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. 

54 | PAINCHEK LIMITED 

 
 
 
 
 
 
16.7  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.

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 2020, 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) 

(ii) 

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its 
financial 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. 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  (including  Independence  Standards)  (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. 

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.

Recognition of Revenue & Other Income 

Key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Refer to Notes 3, 5, 11 and Note 1(l) of the  
financial report. Recognition of Revenue and  
Other Income was identified as a key audit matter 
due to the significance to the financial report and 
the complex nature of the agreements entered 
into by the Group during the year.  
•  On 29 April 2019, the Australian Government 
announced a one-year funded trial of the 
•  PainChek application for Australians with 

dementia living in residential aged care facilities 
and subsequently in December 2019, the 

•  Australian Government signed a grant funding 
contract (total amounting to $5 million) with 
the Group for the national trial of the PainChek 
application. 

Our audit procedures included, amongst others: 
• 

Reviewing the terms and conditions of the   
agreements to determine the relevant accounting 
standard to be applied to the various revenue and 
income streams. 

• 

• 

• 

Assessing the accounting policy adopted for 
recognition of revenue and other income and    
assessing compliance with AASB 15 Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers or AASB 120 Accounting for 
Government Grants and Disclosure of Government 
Assistance. 

For a sample of transactions, vouching to supporting 
documentation such as invoices and receipts and 
assessing compliance against the accounting policy 
adopted including the recognition of any contract 
liability or deferred income. 

Assessing the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures 
within the financial statements. 

Accounting for share-based payments 

Key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Refer to Notes 15.1, 15.2 and 
Note 1(d) of the financial report. 
Share based payments is a key 
audit matter as the accounting 
can be complex and requires 
judgement and the use of 
assumptions regarding their 
recognition and measurement. 

Our audit procedures included, amongst others: 
• 

Reviewing relevant supporting documentation to obtain an 
understanding of the contractual nature and terms and 
conditions of the share-based payments. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Considering the accounting requirements for modifications of 
existing share based payments under AASB 2 Share Based 
Payments. 

Reviewing the valuation methodology adopted in valuing the 
incremental cost for the modification of existing share based 
payments. 

Testing management's methodology for calculating the fair value 
of the performance rights including assessing the valuation 
inputs using internal specialists where required. 

Assessing the allocation of the share-based payment 
expense over management's expected vesting period. 

Reviewing the disclosures to ensure they reflected both the 
valuation of and the accounting for the share based 
payments.

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the 
Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s 
report thereon. 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 and, in 
doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  financial  report  or  our 
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and 
fair  view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  for  such 
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis 
of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or 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. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and 
Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
