PAPYRUS AUSTRALIARenewable source, sustainable futureLetter from 
the Chairman

On behalf of the Directors of Papyrus Australia Limited 
(Papyrus), I am pleased to present the Annual Report for 
the financial year ending 30 June 2022 (FY22). 

Papyrus  recognises  that  the  sovereignty  of  Aboriginal  and  Torres 
Strait  Islander  peoples  over  their  land  was  never  ceded,  and  the 
impact  of  this  ongoing  dispossession  continues  to  this  day.  Our 
diverse  team  in  Australia  work  in  different  locations  on  traditional 
lands and we recognise the traditional custodians of these lands. We 
pay  our  respects  to  all  Aboriginal  and  Torres  Strait  Islander  Elders 
past, present and emerging future leaders.

Environmental asset

In  the  spirit  of  embracing  the  Indigenous  respect  for  the  land  and 
understanding  global  stewardship,  Papyrus  has  developed  a  world-
first  technology  which  promotes  a  circular  economy,  whereby  it 
creates valuable products from abundant waste materials that would 
otherwise negatively contribute to climate change and a deteriorating 
environment. 

Rapidly converging global events have caused a year of accelerated 
change  in  thinking  around  the  globe,  prompting  the  prioritisation 
of  improved  practices,  new  initiatives  and  innovations,  which  has 
provided an opportunity for Papyrus to demonstrate our uniqueness. 

Our  patented,  zero-waste  process  enables  the  development  and 
distribution  of  sustainable  alternatives  to  plastic,  timber  fibre  and 
chemicals, which is more than just a goal or a vision – it’s our reason for being 
and the core element of our present and future operations internationally. 
Our emerging technology can contribute to a better tomorrow for diverse 
and emerging economies, banana growing communities and agricultural 
regions, and will have a significant decarbonising global impact.

Operations

Growth relationships

We work to meet global demands for sustainable, 
economic, environmental and social production 
expectations. Our technology processes and re-
purposes problematic banana plantation waste, 
which  is  abundant  in  banana  growing  areas, 
mostly  located  in  developing  countries  and 
often in impoverished communities. 

Our  Papyrus  showcase  operational  facility  in 
Sohag,  Egypt  has  proven  the  success  of  our 
technology  and  in  September  2021  we  lodged 
the Australian patent application for our banana 
fibre  production  process  to  produce  banana 
fibre pulp to be used for moulded food packaging 
products. 

In November 2021 we leased a fully operational 
moulded  fibre  packaging  facility  in  Sharqiah 
Egypt  to  utilise  the  Sohag-produced  banana 
fibre pulp, for the production of food packaging 
products.  The  success  at  Sharqiah  has  led  to 
an  agreement  with  Sohag-based  Al  Ahram  for 
Plastic Manufacturing, to enable their transition 
from  plastic  packaging  to  banana  fibre-based 
food  packaging  –  the  first  such  transition 
worldwide.

Our Australian technology has achieved strategic 
growth  and  attracted  significant  attention  this 
year, as the world grapples with the urgency of 
climate  change.  In  April  2022,  we  entered  into 
an  agreement  with  the  Egyptian  Government, 
via the National Authority for Military Production 
(the  Ministry),  as  part  of  their  ‘national  waste 
retrieval and re-purposing program’. 

The  Cooperation  Protocol  and  subsequent 
Roadmap  we  signed  with  the  Ministry,  will 
establish a national industry in Egypt to retrieve, 
process  and  repurpose  banana  plantation 
waste  utilising  the  Papyrus  technology  and  IP. 
The  key  structural  elements  establish  a  long-
term relationship as it is estimated there is the 
potential for at least 40 banana waste processing 
factories in Egypt based on the current banana 
plantation areas.

Following  that  announcement  of  the  Papyrus 
agreement  with  the  Egyptian  Government, 
the  European  Bank  for  Reconstruction  and 
Development  (EBRD)  in  June  2022  agreed  to 
provide  funding  support  to  develop  a  five-year 
business  plan  for  the  full  commercialisation  of 
the Papyrus production facilities in Egypt. This 
plan will underpin the expansion in Egypt which 

5

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAhas  an  estimated  6.7  million  tonnes  of  banana 
plantation  waste  each  year  and  provides  a 
model for potential expansion into Africa, which 
has  an  estimated  annual  1.5  billion  tonnes  of 
banana and plantain plantation waste that could 
be processed using Papyrus’ technology.

Another  strategic  partnership  developed  this 
year  in  Egypt  is  with  Al  Ahram  for  Plastics 
technology, 
Manufacturing.  The  Papyrus 
producing  a  regular  and  significant  supply 
of  banana  fibre  pulp,  will  enable  Al  Ahram  to 
transition from their current plastic-based food 
packaging  to  environmentally  friendly  banana 
fibre packaging. This is the first such transition 
worldwide  and  the  beginning  of  a  new  era  of 
sustainable  packaging  products  in  Egypt  in 
which Papyrus will proudly play a part.

Our team 

It  has  been  a  privilege  to  work  with  my  Board 
colleagues this past year and with our growing 
team  across  the  company  who  each  play  such 
an  integral  role  in  our  work,  and  I  thank  them 
for  their  personal  contributions.  In  November 
2021,  we  welcomed  Ms  Kerry  Chikarovski  AM 
as  Executive  Director  –  Government  Relations, 
which  is  an  important  next  step  in  facilitating 
the  Company’s  strategic  objectives 
in  the 
Australian market. 

We also strengthened our leadership capabilities 
to  support  our  growth  strategy  in  March  2022, 
with the appointment of Mr Daniel Schmidt, who 
joined  the  executive  team  as  Chief  Operating 
Officer  to  support  the  next  stage  of  growth-
oriented  initiatives  and  commercialising  the 

business.  Papyrus  enjoys  a  shared  culture  and 
vision of a just and sustainable world across our 
diverse and unique team that we are confident 
will deliver long-term, profitable growth for our 
shareholders.

The outlook 
In  the  coming  year,  our  key  focus  will  be  to 
deliver  on  agreements  with  our  new  business 
partners and deliver operational efficiencies in 
our current processes in Sohag and Sharqiah.

We believe the continual development of long-
term growth partnerships align with our goal of 
playing a major role in the global economy and 
in carbon reduction in the environment and our 
current opportunities certainly give us a chance 
to test our belief. 

introducing  the 

As  Egypt  steps  into  the  spotlight  in  November 
2022  to  host  the  United  Nations  Climate 
Conference  at  COP27,  the  Papyrus  technology 
will  be  showcased  as  part  of  the  Egyptian 
‘Global  Waste 
Government 
Initiative  50  by  2050’  concept  to  increase 
the  treatment  and  recycling  rate  of  banana 
plantation  and  other  waste 
in  Egypt  and 
Africa.  This  initiative  along  with  the  proposed 
formation of a ‘global coalition for global impact’, 
could  propel  the  Papyrus  technology  onto  the 
world  stage  and  we  welcome  the  Egyptian 
Government’s 
future  global 
initiative  and 
cooperation.

Board & 
Management

Manufacturing 
Facilities

Papyrus benefits from a 
strong Board and Executive 
team, with significant 
global experience in 
commercialisation, 
technology, R&D, compliance, 
investment and operations.

Papyrus operates two proven 
commercial scale facilities in

the objective of developing 
new products, enhanced 
processes, more efficient 
equipment and wider 
applications for the  
banana fibre.

Technology 
& Intellectual 
Property

Our patents protect innovative 
processes, methodologies 
and equipment that Papyrus 
has developed to efficiently 
convert banana plantation 
waste into high quality 
consumable products.

•  Two patents granted

•  One patent pending  

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAOur Purpose

Seeking a sustainable, eco-friendly 
response to growing environmental 
uncertainty, we have developed our 
world-first technology to directly 
address the negative impacts of 
agri-waste, deforestation and 
plastic polution.

banana plantation waste into 
consumable products.

Mission

Replace plastic and forest 
sourced food packaging 
products by a 100% 
biodegradable, renewable, 
circular economy product.

Goals

packaging manufacturers and 
other stakeholders in a global 
commercialisation of the 
technology.

Create a global waste 
management supply chain 
across the key banana growing 
regions of Africa, Asia-Pacific 
and Latin America.

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAOur Purpose

Our Environmental Impact

The Papyrus technology alleviates three key 
environmental and sustainability issues.

1.

2.

3.

Reducing 
greenhouse gas 
emissions 

Global banana farm practices 
leave cut down trunks, stalks 
and leaves to rot on the land 
which emit considerable 
methane gases as they 
decompose. 

Papyrus processes the banana 
waste so that they no longer 
rot or decompose.

Replacing 
Plastics used in 
food packaging

Plastic food packaging causes 
serious environmental and 
health issues. Many fibre 
mould manufacturers use 
natural stock such as bagasse 
or wood which are expensive 
and energy intensive. Papyrus 
pulp replaces plastics, 
bagasse and wood pulp in 
many food packaging uses.

Replacing 
synthetic 
fertiliser

Synthetic fertilisers made 
from chemicals and non-
organic material leach into 
groundwater causing water 
pollution as well as having 
detrimental long-term impacts 
on soil and ecosystem health. 
Papyrus’ organic extracted 
fertiliser from banana waste 
replaces synthetic fertiliser.

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPrinciple 1:  
Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The  relationship  between  the  Board  and  senior 
management  is  critical  to  the  Group’s  long-term 
success.  The  Directors  are  responsible  to  the 
shareholders  for  the  performance  of  the  group 
in  both  the  short  and  the  longer  term  and  seek  to 
balance objectives in the best interests of the group 
as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests 
of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to 
ensure the Group is properly managed.

The responsibilities of the Board include:

•  providing strategic guidance to the Group 

including contributing to the development of 
and approving the corporate strategy;

• 

reviewing and approving business plans, the 
annual budget and financial plans including 
available resources and major capital 
expenditure initiatives;

•  overseeing and monitoring the 

organisational performance and the 
achievement of the Group’s strategic goals 
and objectives;

•  monitoring financial performance including 
approval of the annual and half-year financial 
reports and liaison with the Company’s 
auditors;

•  appointment and performance assessment 

of the Managing Director (MD);

• 

ratifying the appointment and/or removal 
and contributing to the performance 
assessment for the members of the senior 
management team, including the Company 
Secretary;

•  ensuring there are effective management 
processes in place and approving major 
corporate initiatives;

•  enhancing and protecting the reputation of 

the organisation;

1 2

•  overseeing the operation of the Group’s system 
for compliance and risk management reporting 
to shareholders; and

•  ensuring appropriate resources are available 

to senior management.

Due  to  the  size  of  the  Group,  the  day  to  day 
management  of  the  Group’s  affairs  and  the 
implementation  of  the  corporate  strategy  and 
policy initiatives are managed by the Board.

The Board has not publicly disclosed a statement 
of  matters  reserved  for  the  Board,  or  the  Board 
charter.  Given  the  size  of  the  Company  at  this 
time, the Board does not consider the formation 
of a Board charter necessary.

The Board is presently responsible for evaluating 
Board candidates and recommending individuals 
for  appointment  to  the  Board.  The  Board 
evaluates  prospective  candidates  against  a 
range of criteria including the skills, experience, 
expertise and diversity that will best complement 
Board  effectiveness  at  the  time.  The  Board 
and 
undertakes 
screening checks prior to nominating a director 
for  election  by  shareholders,  and  provides  to 
shareholders  all  material 
its 
possession concerning the director standing for 
election  or  re-election  in  the  explanatory  notes 
accompanying the notice of meeting.

background 

appropriate 

information 

in 

A  written  agreement  has  not  been  executed 
with  each  director  setting  out  the  terms  of  their 
appointment;  therefore  the  Group  does  not 
comply with recommendation 1.3 of the Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations. The 
Company believes that due to their size and nature 
of operations that this is acceptable, however will 
ensure  written  agreements  are  executed  with 
future directors and senior executives.

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAThe  Company  Secretary  is  accountable  directly 
to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to 
do with the proper functioning of the Board. The 
Company Secretary is responsible for maintaining 
the  information  systems  and  processes  that 
are  appropriate  for  the  Board  to  fulfill  its  role 
and  to  achieve  the  objective  of  the  Company. 
The  Company  Secretary  is  also  responsible  for 
ensuring that the Board procedures are complied 
with  and  advising  the  Board  on  governance 
matters.  All  Directors  and  Committees  have 
access  to  the  Company  Secretary  for  advice 
and  services.  Independent  advisory  services 
are  retained  by  the  Company  Secretary  at  the 
request of the Board or Committees.

The  Company  does  not  have  a  diversity  policy, 
which 
the  principles 
and  commitment  in  relation  to  maintaining 
a  diverse  group  of  employees  within  the 
Company,  and  therefore  has  not  complied 
with  recommendation  1.5(b)  of  the  Corporate 
Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations. 
However  the  Board  continually  assesses  the 
composition of the Board. The Company believes 
this  to  be  appropriate  at  this  time,  but  notes  it 
uses diversity as a driver for staff recruitment.

The  total  proportion  of  men  and  women  on 
the  board, 
(being  Key

the Company) and across the whole organisation

The  Group  has  not  disclosed  in  this  Corporate

its  measureable 
objectives 
for  achieving  gender  diversity 
therefore  has  not  complied  with 
and 
the  Corporate

Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations. 
Due to the size of the Company and its number 
of  employees,  the  Board  does  not  consider 

1 3

it  appropriate,  at  this  time,  to  formally  set 
measurable objectives for gender diversity.

The  Board  will  at 
least  annually  evaluate 
its  performance  and  the  performance  of 
its  committees  and  individual  directors  to 
determine  whether  or  not  it  is  functioning 
effectively  by  reference  to  the  current  best 
practices.  The  Board  continually  evaluates 
the  composition  of  the  Board,  however  a 
formal  evaluation  of  its  performance  and  the 
performance  of  its  committees  and  individual 
directors  is  yet  to  be  conducted.  Due  to  the 
size of the Company, the Board has determined 
that  this  is  appropriate  at  Company’s  stage  to 
date,  however  it  does  recognise  that  ongoing 
performance evaluation is important to ensure 
that  the  Board,  committees  and  individual 
director’s  remain  relevant  and  committed 
to  the  Company’s  business  operations  and 
changing  business  requirements.  At  the  date 
of  this  report,  the  Company  has  not  complied 
with  recommendation  1.6(b)  of  the  Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations.

The Group currently has three senior executives 
and  has  no  formal  process  for  evaluating  the 
performance of its senior executives.

Principle 2: Structure the 
board to add value

The  Board  has  not  established  a  nomination 
committee,  and  thus  not  complied  with 
recommendation  2.1(a)  of 
the  Corporate 
Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations. 
The  Directors  takes  ultimate  responsibility  in 
addressing  board  succession  issues  and  to 
ensure  the  Board  has  the  appropriate  balance 
of skills, knowledge, experience, independence 
and  diversity  to  enable  it  to  discharge  its 
duties  and  responsibilities  effectively.  The 
Board  closely  assesses  diversity  criteria  when 
considering Board candidates.

The  Group’s  desired  mix  of  skills  and  competence 
is  listed  below.  The  Board  considers  its  current 
composition  adequately  meets  these  required 
competencies.

Director/Company Secretary.

The  Board  considers  this  to  be  an  appropriate 
composition given the size and development of 
the  Group  at  the  present  time  and  continually 
assesses the composition of the Board to ensure 
its  membership  maintains  a  combination  of 
skills and experience that ensure the Board has 
the  expertise  to  meet  both  its  responsibilities 
to  stakeholders  and  its  strategic  objectives. 
The names of directors including details of their 
qualifications  and  experience  are  set  out  in 
the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report and 
also available on the Company’s website: www.
papyrusaustralia.com.au

Independence

The  Board 
is  conscious  of  the  need  for 
independence and ensures that where a conflict 
of  interest  may  arise,  the  relevant  Director(s) 
leave  the  meeting  to  ensure  a  full  and  frank 
discussion of the matter(s) under consideration 
by  the  rest  of  the  Board.  Those  Directors 
who  have  interests  in  specific  transactions 
or  potential  transactions  do  not  receive 
Board  papers  related  to  those  transactions  or 
potential transactions, do not participate in any 
part  of  a  Directors’  meeting  which  considers 

those  transactions  or  potential  transactions, 
are not involved in the decision making process 
in  respect  of  those  transactions  or  potential 
transactions,  and  are  asked  not  to  discuss 
those  transactions  or  potential  transactions 
with other Directors.

Directors  of  the  Company  are  considered  to 
be  independent  when  they  are  independent 
of  management  and  free  from  any  business 
or  other  relationship  that  could  materially 
interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived 
to materially interfere with, the exercise of their 
unfettered and independent judgment.

The Board has accepted the following definition 
of an independent Director:

An independent director is a director who is not 
a member of management, is a Non-Executive 
Director and who:

• 

• 

• 

is not, or has not been, employed in an 
executive capacity by the Group and there 
has been a period of at least three years 
between ceasing such employment and 
serving on the Board;

is not, or has not within the last three years 
been, a partner, director or senior employee 
of a provider of material professional 
services to the Group;

is not, or has not within the last three years 
been, in a material business relationship (e.g. 
as a supplier or customer) with the Group, or 
an officer or, or otherwise associated with, 
someone with such a relationship;

1 4

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA• 

is not a substantial security holder of 
the entity or an officer of, or otherwise 
associated with, a substantial security 
holder of the entity;

•  does not have a material contractual 

relationship with the Group other than as a 
director; or

•  has not been a director of the entity for such 
a period that his or her independence may 
have been compromised.

Mr David Attias and Mr Vincent Rigano are Non-
Executive Directors and have no other material 
relationships  with  the  Group  other  than  their 
directorship. Mr Rigano has some shareholding 
in  the  Group,  he  is  not  a  substantial  security 
holder. As such, the Group assesses that it has 
two  independent  directors  during  the  year  as 
those relationships are defined.

The  Board  considers  its  current  structure  to 
be  an  appropriate  composition  of  the  required 
skills  and  experience,  given  the  experience 
of  the  individual  Directors  and  the  size  and 
development  of  the  Company  at  the  present 
time.  Each  individual  member  of  the  Board 
is  satisfied  that  whilst  the  Company  may  not 
comply with Recommendation 2.4, all Directors 
bring an independent judgment to bear on Board 
decisions.

The  Company’s  Chairman,  Mr  Edward  Byrt 
is  not  an  independent  director,  due  to  his 
shareholding,  but  he  does  not  fulfil  the  role  of 
CEO. The Company therefore has not complied 
with  recommendation  2.5  of  the  Corporate 
Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations. 
The  Company  believes  this  to  be  appropriate 
at  this  time  given  the  size  and  nature  of  the 
Company’s  operations,  but  will  continue  to 
consider  the  composition  of  the  board  in  the 
future.

The  Company  does  not  maintain  a  formal 
program  for  inducting  new  Directors,  however 
the  Company  Secretary  ensures  all  new 
directors  receive  adequate  information  and 
documentation  on  appointment.  The  Company 
also  ensures  that  appropriate  professional 
development  opportunities  are  provided  to 

directors  to  ensure  they  develop  and  maintain 
the  skills  and  knowledge  needed  to  perform 
their role as directors effectively.

Principle 3: Act lawfully, 
ethically and responsibly

The Company has developed a Code of conduct 
(the Code) which has been fully endorsed by the 
Board and applies to all directors and employees. 
The  Code  is  regularly  reviewed  and  updated 
as  necessary  to  ensure  it  reflects  the  highest 
standards of behaviour and professionalism and 
the practices necessary to maintain confidence 
in the group’s integrity and to take into account 
legal  obligations  and  reasonable  expectations 
of the Company’s stakeholders.

In summary, the Code requires that at all times 
all  Company  personnel  act  with  the  utmost 
integrity,  objectivity  and  in  compliance  with 
the letter and the spirit of the law and company 
policies.

Principle 4:  
Safeguard integrity in 
corporate reporting

Audit Committee (the Committee) 
The Committee consists of the  
following directors:

Mr  Vincent  Rigano  (Committee  Chair)  (Non-
Executive  Director),  Mr  Edward  Byrt  (Non-
Executive  Chairman),  Mr  David  Attias  (Non-
Executive Director) and Mr Ramy Azer (Managing 
Director)

Mr  Vincent  Rigano  is  an  independent  member 
as discussed above in Principle 4 and the Chair 
of the Committee. The chair of the Committee 
is  not  the  chair  of  the  Board;  however,  the 
independent  members  do  not  comprise  the 
majority of the Committee, therefore the Group 
does  not  comply  with  recommendation  4.1(a) 
(1)  of  the  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and 
Recommendations. As three out of six Directors 
are members of the audit committee, and given

the  external  auditor  is  reviewed  annually  and 
applications for tender of external audit services 
are  requested  as  deemed  appropriate,  taking 
into consideration assessment of performance, 
existing value and tender costs. BDO Audit (SA) 
Pty  Ltd  (‘BDO’)  was  appointed  as  the  external 
auditor at the Company’s AGM in 2021. It is BDO’s 
policy  to  rotate  audit  engagement  partners 
on  listed  companies  in  accordance  with  the 
requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001, 
which  is  generally  after  five  years,  subject  to 
certain exceptions.

The amount of fees paid to the external auditors 
is provided in a note to the financial statements. 
It is the policy of the external auditors to provide 
an annual declaration of their independence to 
the Committee.

The  external  auditor  will  attend  the  Annual 
General  Meeting  and  be  available  to  answer 
shareholder questions about the conduct of the

understanding  of  the  industries  in  which  the 
group operates.

The  number  of  times  the  Committee  met 
throughout  the  period  and  the 
individual 
attendance of the members at those meetings 
are outlined within the Annual Report.

The  Audit  Committee  does  not  have  a  formal 
charter  and  has  therefore  not  complied  with 
the  Corporate 
recommendation  4.1(3)  of 
Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations. 
The Board believes this is appropriate given the 
size of the Company and the composition of the 
Committee.

The  Audit  Committee  has  authority,  within 
the  scope  of  its  responsibilities,  to  seek  any 
information  it  requires  from  any  employee  or 
external party.

have  certified  to  the  Board  that  the  financial 
statements  are  founded  on  a  sound  system 
of  risk  management  and 
internal  control 
and  that  the  system  is  operating  efficiently 
and  effectively  in  all  material  respects.  This 
declaration  is  provided  to  the  Board  before  it 
approves  the  Company’s  financial  statements 
for  a  financial  period,  and  declares  that  in 
their  opinion,  the  financial  records  of  the 
Company  have  been  properly  maintained  and 
that  the  financial  statements  comply  with  the 
appropriate accounting standards and give and 
true  and  fair  view  of  the  financial  position  and 
performance of the entity.

The  Company  does  not  have  an  internal  audit 
function  due  to  the  size  and  nature  of  the 
Group,  however  the  Audit,  Business  Risk 
and  Compliance  Committee 
is  responsible 
for  ensuring  there  are  adequate  policies  in

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA•  Developing the business commercialisation 

model.

The Technology

•  Developing key customer relationships 

for early adoption of the technologies and 
development of the banana plantation waste 
processing industry

As  the  world  confronts  the  growing  threat  of 
climate change, there is an increasing demand 
for  innovations  to  reduce  our  global  impact, 
which continues to drive Papyrus Australia.

This  has  built  a  platform  for  the  future  growth 
plans  for  Papyrus  and  delivered  the  following 
key results in financial year 2021/2022.

Key Highlights:

• 

Initial selection of two key end products to 
support the drive for commercialisation:

1.  Banana plantation waste fibre for 

moulded food packaging

2.   Liquid fertiliser (Musa)

•  Refining the technology, process and 

equipment to manufacture the two key end 
products identified at the Papyrus Egypt 
factory in Sohag and leased factory in 
Sharqiah Egypt.

•  Development of the business model with two 

main operating and revenue pillars:

1.  Equipment manufacturing, sales and 

licencing

2.  Products trading to connect producers 

to users

•  Secured Grant funding from the European 
Bank for Reconstruction and Development 
to develop the commercialisation plan and 
five-year business plan

•  Secured two cornerstone business partners 
and customers for the initial adoption of the 
technology outside our demonstration plant:

1.  Egyptian Government

2.  Al Ahram for Plastics Manufacturing (Al 

Ahram)

Papyrus’  world-first,  patented  technologies 
displace  plastic  packaging  by  providing 
alternatives from banana fibre. This is done via 
a  zero-waste  process  that  is  fully  sustainable, 
does  not  consume  any  chemicals  or  water 
during manufacture and does not contribute to 
the destruction of the environment, addressing 
growing  environmental  uncertainty.  The  global 
impact of this technology on banana producing 
countries has the potential to address economic 
and  social  disadvantage  and  significantly 
reduce  the  environmental  degradation  from 
banana plantation waste.

lodged 

In  September  2021,  Papyrus 
the 
Australian  patent  application  for  banana  fibre 
production process for moulded food packaging. 
This  Australian  patent  was  an  important  first 
step  in  the  Company  acquiring  broad-ranging 
international  patent  protection  for  this  state-
of-the-art  zero  waste,  dewatering  and  fibre 
production process.

Dewatering process

The  market  success  of  the  Papyrus  fertiliser 
product  ‘MUSA’,  led  to  the  registration  of  this 
trademark  product  in  Egypt  and  as  ‘MUZA’  in 
Australia. With continued high demand, trials to 
increase Musa production from the dewatering 
plant  demonstrated  positive  results  with  the 
capability of doubling its output.

Fibre production process

The significant commercial value of this process 
was  proven  in  a  series  of  trials  undertaken 
this  year,  in  which  the  Company  successfully 
produced commercial quantities of high-quality 
biodegradable  moulded  food  packaging  using 
off-the-shelf moulding machines.

Future market opportunity also exists from the 
valuation  of  emissions  reduction  from  banana 
tree waste stockpiles.

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAEngineering Development

In  the  second  half  of  the  financial  year,  on  the 
back  of  selecting  two  end  products  to  focus 
on, Papyrus has been able to refine the process 
design to five key stages of production:

1.  Shredding

2.  Crushing and dewatering

3.  Liquid fertiliser production

4.  Refining

5.  Moulding

Upon  completing  the  process  design  the  team 
has  also  completed  the  proposed  plant  layout 
and equipment design for the process. Papyrus 
has  completed  the  prefeasibility  estimate  for 
the  sale  of  processing  equipment  from  the 
Equipment  Manufacturing  arm  of  its  business. 
This will form the foundation for initial equipment 
sales  to  prospective  customers.  Papyrus  has 
developed  the  initial  equipment  supply  chain 
model  and  commenced  engagement  of  key 
suppliers for each of key components.

Papyrus  
Egypt Joint Venture

Fiber Production Demonstration 
Plant (Sohag, Egypt)

An  increase  in  demand  for  Papyrus  products 
in  Egypt  earlier  this  year  led  to  the  upscale  of 
the  production  capacity  in  our  operations  in 
Sohag. The upscaling along with the mechanical 
improvements  in  the  dewatering  of  the  fibre 
resulted in more Musa and other agri-products 
being  produced  and 
in  the 
quality  of  the  fibre  and  pulp  produced.  These 
important  to  the  overall  technology 
were 
improvement and has led to increased sales and 
revenues.

Fiber Moulding Plant  
(Sharqiah, Egypt)

Increased  production  enabled  the  Papyrus’ 
joint  venture  company,  Papyrus  Egypt  to  lease 

2 4

a  fully  operational  moulded  fibre  packaging 
facility in Sharqiah Egypt from November 2021. 
This enabled the Company to fast-track testing 
and  production  of  products  such  as  the  world 
first  100%  banana  fibre  burger  clam  shell.  The 
plant is producing at scale and selling moulded 
egg trays utilising fibre produced at the Sohag 
factory.

It is also important to note that Papyrus Australia 
has increased its equity in the Egyptian Banana 
Fibre Company to 39.22% which gives it a direct 
and indirect interest in Papyrus Egypt of 69.61%.

Business Development

Al Ahram for Plastics Manufacturing

The  success  at  the  Sharqiah  facility  led  to  the 
signing  of  a  partnering  agreement  with  the 
long  established  and  successful  Sohag  based 
Egyptian corporation Al Ahram, to enable their 
transition  from  plastic  packaging  to  banana 
fibre-based  food  packaging.  This  first  such 
transition worldwide, marks the beginning of a 
new era of sustainable and compostable 100% 
banana fibre packaging products in Egypt that 
will  propel  the  Papyrus  technology  onto  the 
world stage.

Egyptian Government

Of significant note to showcase our philosophy 
and  technology  is  the  Co-operation  Protocol 
and  Roadmap  Agreement  that  Papyrus  has 
signed  with  the  Egyptian  Government  via  the 
National  Authority  for  Military  Production  (The 
Ministry).  This  agreement  is  to  establish  a 
national  industry  in  Egypt  to  process  banana 
plantation waste, as part of the national waste 
retrieval and repurposing program.

The  Egyptian  Government 
the 
implementation  of  Papyrus  Technology  will  be 
enabled to

through 

•  build facilities to convert banana tree 

waste into useable products such as liquid 
fertiliser and refined fibre

•  create local employment by expanding 

across Egypt

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA•  use the agri-waste productively and reduce 

methane emissions, and

• 

replace plastics and industrially produced 
fertilizers.

This  agreement  will  see  Papyrus  build  its  first 
scale production facility with a strategic partner 
and creating a model for future expansion.

IP, 

the 

In  the  licence  agreement  with  the  Egyptian 
Government,  Papyrus  will  supply  technology 
and 
integrated  control  systems, 
specialised components and technical support. 
The  Ministry  will  operate  the  facility  under 
commercial agreement and Papyrus will be the 
sole  distributor  of  the  output  of  the  factories. 
It  is  estimated  there  is  the  potential  for  up  to 
40 banana waste processing factories in Egypt 
based on the current area of banana plantations.

This  project  will  substantially  benefit  Papyrus’ 
Egyptian business and help propel this innovative 
Australian  technology  onto  the  world  stage,  as 
it  promotes  a  circular  economy  and  produces 
valuable  product  from  waste  material  with  a 
process  that  has  no  negative  environmental 
impact.

Grant funding from the European 
Bank for Reconstruction and 
Development

A  substantial  opportunity  for  Papyrus  arose  at 
the end of the financial year, when the European 
Bank  for  Reconstruction  and  Development 
(EBRD)  agreed  to  provide  funding  support 
for  the  development  of  a  five-year  business 
plan.  This  business  plan  will  address  the  full 
commercialisation  of  the  Papyrus  production 
facility  in  Sohag,  Egypt  and  the  anticipated 
expansion of Papyrus in Egypt.

The  EBRD  funded  business  plan  which  will 
look  at  key  factors  including  growth  over  the 
next  five  years,  the  profitable  utilisation  of 
production  facilities 
in  Egypt,  employment 
in  local  communities  and  the  reduction  of 
agricultural  waste  and  its  negative  impact  on 
the surrounding environment.

This plan will underpin the Company’s expansion 
in  Egypt  which  produces  an  estimated  6.7 

2 5

million tonnes of banana plantation waste each 
year. It also provides a model for expansion into 
Africa, which has an estimated annual 1.5 billion 
tonnes  of  banana  plantation*  waste  that  could 
be processed using the Papyrus technology.

Building Capability

to 

facilitate 

In  November  2021  Papyrus  appointed  Kerry 
Chikarovski  AM  as  Executive  Director  – 
Government  Relations 
the 
Company’s strategic objectives in the Australian 
market.  As  a  former  MP  and  leader  of  the 
New  South  Wales  Liberal  Party  from  1999  to 
2002,  Ms  Chikarovski  brings  highly  valuable 
firsthand government knowledge and extensive 
community and stakeholder relations expertise 
to the Company.

In  January  2022  Daniel  Schmidt  joined  the 
Papyrus  executive  team  to  support  the  next 
stage  of  commercialising  the  business.  Daniel 
brings over 15 years’ experience in senior roles 
in  the  mining  and  metals  industry,  specifically 
focused  on  the  management  of  processing 
operations,  supply  chains  and  procurement. 
In  his  role  as  Chief  Operating  Officer,  Daniel 
will  draw  upon  his  experience 
in  project 
management  and  delivering  organisational 
change  to  support  the  commercialisation  of 
Papyrus.

Outlook

The  selection  of  two  key  end  products  and 
securing  the  Egyptian  Government  and  Al 
Ahram  as  initial  adopters  of  the  technology 
has  tightened  the  focus  for  the  business 
going  forward  and  established  a  framework  to 
commence the initial commercialisation in line 
with the business model. The proposed sale of 
fibre  processing  equipment  and  implementing 
the  business  model  with 
the  Egyptian 
Government  provides  a  critical  platform  and 
launchpad  for  sales  of  the  fibre  processing 
technology in the region and more significantly, 
into  the  African  market,  where  60%  of  the 
global  banana  and  plantain  plantations*  exist. 
The establishment of a dedicated banana waste 
fibre  moulding  line  with  Al  Ahram  producing 
finished moulded food packaging will also be a 
significant  step  to  realising  commercialisation 

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAof the technology. The successful establishment 
of these factories with our partners this coming 
year is the final step in realising the value of the 
technology at a commercial scale.

technology in response to market demand. We 
are  continuing  to  invest  in  growth  to  achieve 
greater outcomes for economies, communities, 
and our environment.

Papyrus continues to receive strong interest in its 
technology  from  many  banana  growing  regions 
around the world including Australia, Philippines, 
Thailand,  Indonesia,  Africa  and  South  America. 
With approximately 10 million hectares of banana 
plantation  worldwide  producing  an  estimated 
2.2  billion  tonnes  of  agri-waste  annually  that  is 
mostly  unutilised  and  readily  accessible,  there 
is  a  significant  future  potential  to  license  and 
sell  the  Papyrus  technology  to  growing  regions 
throughout the world.

In  November  2021,  Ms  Kerry  Chikarovski 
was  appointed  as  an  Executive  Director  – 
Government Relations.

The  Non-Executive  Directors  continued  to 
forego their remuneration during the year.

The Annual General  Meeting of  the  Company was 
held on 26 November 2021, where the Chairman and 
Managing  Director  gave  a  comprehensive  review 
of  Company’s  operations  and  strategic  activities 
including  the  introduction  of  UPE  director  Siew 
Hong Koh and the team from L39 Capital.

In summary, Papyrus has achieved a significant 
shift  in  capability,  capacity,  and  operational 
performance  this  year  and  with  a  strong 
and  energetic  commitment  to  purpose, 
is 
scaling  up  the  commercialisation  of  Papyrus

Significant Changes In 
The State Of Affairs

There  have  been  no  significant  changes  in  the 
state of affairs of the Company during the year 
ended 30 June 2022.

Likely Developments And 
Expected Results

The  Company  continues  to  investigate  new 
opportunities  for  approval  by  the  Company’s 
shareholders  and  the  ASX  if  required.  The 
outcome  of  these  investigations  cannot  be 
predicted  at  this  time.  The  Group  may  require 
further capital to sustain its activities.

Environmental Regulation

The  Group’s  operations  are  not  subject  to  any 
significant  environmental  regulations  under 
either Commonwealth or State legislation. The 
Group  however  believes  that  it  has  adequate 
systems  in  place  for  the  management  of  any 
future environmental regulations.

Key management personnel 
remuneration and equity holdings

The Board currently determines the nature and 
amount  of  remuneration  for  key  management 
personnel  of  the  Group.  The  policy  is  to  align 
key  management  personnel  objectives  with 
shareholder  and  business  objectives  by 
providing a fixed remuneration component and 
offering specific long-term incentives.

The  non-executive  directors  and  other 
executives receive a superannuation guarantee 
contribution required by the government, which 
is currently 10.5%, and do not receive any other 
retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, 
may  choose  to  sacrifice  part  of  their  salary  to 
increase  payments  towards  superannuation. 
All  remuneration  paid  to  key  management 
personnel  is  expensed  as  incurred.  Executives 
are  also  entitled  to  participate  in  the  Group 
share option scheme. Options are valued using 
the Black-Scholes methodology.

The  Board  policy 
is  to  remunerate  non-
executive  Directors  at  market  rates  based  on 
comparable  companies  for  time,  commitment 
and  responsibilities.  The  Board  determines 
payments  to  non-executive  directors  and 
reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on

Independent  external  advice  is  sought  when 
required.

with a vote total of more than 95%. The Company 
did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM 
on its remuneration report.

Non-executive  Directors’  fees  are  determined 
within  an  aggregate  director’s  fee  pool  limit, 
which is periodically recommended for approval 
by shareholders. The pool does not include the 
remuneration payable to the Managing Director 
Mr  Ramy  Azer.  The  maximum  currently  stands 
at  $300,000  per  annum  and  was  approved  by 
shareholders  prior  to  the  Company  listing  in 
April  2005.  It  should  be  noted  that  other  than 
the Managing Director, no other directors have 
received  any  remuneration  during  the  2022

Notes to the Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2022

This financial report covers the consolidated financial statements and notes of Papyrus Australia 
Ltd  (‘the  Company’)  as  an  Individual  entity  and  the  consolidated  Group  comprising  Papyrus 
Australia Ltd and its Controlled Entities (‘the Group’). Papyrus Australia Ltd is a for- profit Group 
limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on 
the Australian Securities Exchange. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the 
Board of Directors on 26 September 2022.

Each of the entities within the Group prepare their financial statements based on the currency 
of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (functional  currency).  The 
consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s 
functional and presentation currency.

The separate financial statements and notes of the parent entity, Papyrus Australia Ltd, have 
not  been  presented  within  this  financial  report  as  permitted  by  amendments  made  to  the 
Corporations Act 2001.

1.  Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared 
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, 
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under 
Australian Accounting Standards.

These  financial  statements  and  notes  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The  significant  accounting  policies  used  in  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  these 
financial  statements  are  provided  below  and  are  consistent  with  prior  reporting  periods 
unless otherwise stated.

Except for the cash flow information, the financial statements are prepared on an accruals 
basis and are based on historical costs, except for the measurement at fair value of selected 
non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  financial  position  and  performance  of 
controlled entities from the date on which control is obtained until the date that control is lost.

Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions 
between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated in full for the purpose of 
these financial statements.

3 9

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAAppropriate  adjustments  have  been  made  to  a  controlled  entity’s  financial  position, 
performance and cash flows where the accounting policies used by that entity were different 
from those adopted by the consolidated entity. All controlled entities have a June financial 
year end.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 16 to the financial statements.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the parent has control. 
Control is established when the parent is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to 
direct the relevant activities of the entity.

(c) Business combinations

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  all  business  combinations 
regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as 
the fair value of the assets given, shares issued, or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date 
of exchange. Costs directly attributable to the combination are expensed as incurred. Where 
equity instruments are issued in a business combination, the fair value of the instruments is 
their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can 
be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator 
of fair value, and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure 
of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised 
directly in equity.

Except  for  non-current  assets  or  disposal  groups  classified  as  held  for  sale  (which  are 
measured  at  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell),  all  identifiable  assets  acquired,  liabilities  and 
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair 
values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess 
of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the 
identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less 
than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the 
difference is recognised as a gain in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of 
the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

(d) Revenue and other income

Revenue  is  recognised  when  the  amount  of  the  revenue  can  be  measured  reliably,  it  is 
probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and 
specific criteria relating to the type of revenue has been satisfied.

Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  received  or  receivable  and  is 
presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.

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

4 0

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAInterest revenue

Interest is recognised using the effective interest method.

Grant revenue

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the 
grant will be received, and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items 
are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they 
are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value 
and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight- line basis.

(e) Finance costs

Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets 
that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, 
are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready 
for their intended use or sale.

All other finance costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  on  hand,  demand  deposits  and  short-  term 
investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject 
to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Bank  overdrafts  also  form  part  of  cash  equivalents  for  the  purpose  of  the  consolidated 
statement  of  cash  flows  and  are  presented  within  current  liabilities  on  the  consolidated 
statement of financial position.

(g) Trade and other receivables

For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating Expected Credit 
Losses (‘ECLs’) as allowed in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments.

Therefore,  the  Group  does  not  track  changes  in  credit  risk,  but  instead  recognises  a  loss 
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

(h) Income Tax

The  tax  expense  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income relates to current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense (being 
the movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities and unused tax losses during the year).

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable 
profit (tax loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered 
from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

4 1

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIADeferred  tax  is  provided  on  temporary  differences  which  are  determined  by  comparing 
the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the 
financial statements.

Deferred tax is not provided for the following:

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 accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled 
entities to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the 
temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply 
to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred  tax  consequences  relating  to  a  non-  monetary  asset  carried  at  fair  value  are 
determined using the assumption that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered 
through sale.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax 
losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the 
deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.

The  carrying  amount  of  deferred  income  tax  assets  is  reviewed  at  each  reporting  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  a  each  reporting  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.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to set 
off  the  recognised  amounts and there is an intention  either  to settle on a  net basis  or to 
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legal right to set off current 
tax  assets  against  current  tax  liabilities  and  the  deferred  tax  assets  and  the  deferred  tax 
liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same 
taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities 
and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously 
in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are 
expected to be settled or recovered.

Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss 
for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other 

4 2

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAcomprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive 
income or equity respectively.

Tax consolidation legislation

Papyrus Australia Ltd and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income 
tax consolidated group.

Each entity in the tax consolidated group accounts for their own current and deferred tax 
amounts.  These  tax  amounts  are  measured  using  the  ‘stand-alone  taxpayer’  approach  to 
allocation.

Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax 
credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the parent entity.

(i) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenue,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  goods  and  services 
tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian 
Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.

The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  is  included  as  part  of 
receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and 
the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, 
or payable to, the taxation authority.

(j) Plant and Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment are measured using the cost model as specified below.

Where the cost model is used, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation 
and any impairment losses. Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs 
and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.

Depreciation

The depreciable  amount  of  all plant and  equipment is  depreciated on a  straight- line and 
diminishing value basis from the date that management determine that the asset is available 
for use.

Assets  held  under  a  finance  lease  and  leasehold  improvements  are  depreciated  over  the 
shorter of the term of the lease and the assets useful life.

comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. 

(i) Financial assets

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics 
and the Group’s business model for managing them. 
Initial recognition and measurement

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to 
cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is 
referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. 

Financial  assets  are  classified,  at  initial  recognition,  as  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised  cost,  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  (OCI),  and  fair  value 
through profit or loss.

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash 
flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial 
assets, or both. 

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s 
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention 
in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell 
the asset.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets at amortised cost

The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions 
are met:

4 4

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial 

assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

•  The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows 
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial  assets  at  amortised  cost  are  subsequently  measured  using  the  effective 
interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit 
or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar 
financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated 
statement of financial position) when:

•  The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

•  The  Group  has  transferred  its  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  asset  or  has 
assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a 
third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred 
substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  the  asset,  or  (b)  the  Group  has  neither 
transferred  nor  retained  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  the  asset,  but  has 
transferred control of the asset

When  the  Group  has  transferred  its  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  an  asset  or  has 
entered  into  a  pass-through  arrangement,  it  evaluates  if,  and  to  what  extent,  it  has 
retained  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  When  it  has  neither  transferred  nor 
retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control 
of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its 
continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. 
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects 
the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is 
measured  at  the  lower  of  the  original  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  and  the  maximum 
amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

The  Group  recognises  an  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  (ECLs)  for  all  debt 
instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference 
between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash 
flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original 
effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of 
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been 

4 5

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAa  significant  increase  in  credit  risk  since  initial  recognition,  ECLs  are  provided  for 
credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months 
(a  12-month  ECL).  For  those  credit  exposures  for  which  there  has  been  a  significant 
increase  in  credit  risk  since  initial  recognition,  a  loss  allowance  is  required  for  credit 
losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the 
default (a lifetime ECL).

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days 
past  due.  However,  in  certain  cases,  the  Group  may  also  consider  a  financial  asset  to 
be  in  default  when  internal  or  external  information  indicates  that  the  Group  is  unlikely 
to  receive  the  outstanding  contractual  amounts  in  full  before  taking  into  account  any 
credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no 
reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for 
transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through 
profit  or  loss.  Subsequently,  financial  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using 
the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated 
at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised 
in  profit  or  loss  (other  than  derivative  financial  instruments  that  are  designated  and 
effective as hedging instruments).

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged 
or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from 
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are 
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition 
of  the  original  liability  and  the  recognition  of  the  new  liability.  The  difference  in  the 
respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

(l) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group determines whether there is an evidence of 
an impairment indicator for non-financial assets.

Where this indicator exists and regardless for goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets and 
intangible assets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated.

Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the 
relevant cash- generating unit (CGU) is estimated.

The  recoverable  amount  of  an  asset  or  CGU  is  the  higher  of  the  fair  value  less  costs  of 
disposal and the

value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived 
from an asset or cash- generating unit.

Where  the  recoverable  amount  is  less  than  the  carrying  amount,  an  impairment  loss  is 

4 6

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIArecognised in profit or loss.

Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered 
an impairment loss, except for goodwill.

(m) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods 
and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and 
arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase 
of these goods and services.

(n) Interest bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received 
less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest- bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost.

(o) Equity settled compensation

Group provides benefits to employees of the Group in the form of share- based payments, 
whereby employees receive options incentives (equity- settled transactions).

There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits, the Employee Share Option 
Plan (ESOP) which provides benefits to employees.

The cost of these equity- settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to 
the fair value at the date at which they were granted. The fair value is determined using the 
Black- Scholes option pricing model.

The  cost  of  equity-  settled  transactions  is  recognised  as  an  expense  in  the  consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, together with a corresponding 
increase in the share option reserve, when the options are issued. However, where options 
have  vesting  terms  attached,  the  cost  of  the  transaction  is  amortised  over  the  vesting 
period.

Upon  the  exercise  of  options,  the  balance  of  share-based  payments  reserve  relating  to 
those options is transferred to issued capital.

(p) Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue 
of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction 
from equity, net of any tax effects.

(q) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share information for its ordinary shares.

4 7

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIABasic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to members of the 
Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic earnings per share to take into account the after 
income  tax  effect  of  interest  and  other  financing  costs  associated  with  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would 
have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

In accordance with AASB 133 ‘Earnings per Share’, as potential ordinary shares may only result 
in a situation where their conversion results in an increase in loss per share or decrease in 
profit per share from continuing operations, no dilutive effect has been taken into account 
in 2021 and 2022.

(r) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates 
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts 
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Except  as  described  below,  in  preparing  this  report,  the  significant  judgements  made  by 
management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation 
uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial report for the year 
ended 30 June 2022.

Key estimates Impairment of assets

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to 
the Group that may lead to an impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the 
recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

4 8

PAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIAPAPYRUS AUSTRALIA(s) Investment in associate and joint venture

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence 
is the power to participate in the financial and operational policy decisions of the investee, 
but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A  joint  venture  is  a  type  of  joint  agreement  whereby  the  parties  that  have  joint  control 
of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the 
contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions 
about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The  considerations  made  in  determining  significant  influence  or  joint  control  are  similar 
to  those  necessary  to  determine  control  over  subsidiaries.  The  Group’s  investment  in  its 
associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method.

Under  the  equity  method,  the  investment  in  an  associate  or  joint  venture  is  initially 
recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes 
in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition 
date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of 
the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.

The  Statement  of  profit  or  loss  reflects  the  Group’s  share  of  the  results  of  operations  of 
the  associate  or  joint  venture.  Any  change  in  OCI  of  those  investees  is  presented  as  part 
of  the  Group’s  OCI.  In  addition,  when  there  has  been  a  change  recognised  directly  in  the 
equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when 
applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains or losses resulting from 
transactions between the Group and associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent 
of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of the profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is 
shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit and represents 
profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interest in the subsidiaries of the associate or 
joint venture.

The  financial  statements  of  the  associate  or  joint  venture  are  prepared  for  the  same 
reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring to account 
policies in line with those of the Group.

(t) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective  
And Not Been Adopted Early By The Group

There are a number of standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations which have 
been issued by the IASB that are effective in future accounting periods that the group has 
decided not to adopt early. The Group has reviewed and assessed that none of these new 
accounting standards, used but not yet effective, are expected to have material impact on 
the group.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations 
resulting in a financial loss to the Group.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means 
of mitigating the risk of financial loss from activities.

The  Group  does  not  have  any  significant  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  counterparty 
or  any  Group  of  counterparties  having  similar  characteristics.  The  credit  risk  on  liquid 
funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by 
international credit-rating agencies.

The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  recorded  in  the  financial  statements,  net  of  any 
allowances for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Market risk

(i) Cash flow interest rate sensitivity

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it holds some bank deposits at floating rates.

The  Group’s  policy  is  to  minimise  interest  rate  cash  flow  risk  exposures  on  long-term 
financing.  Longer-term  deposits  are  therefore  usually  at  fixed  rates.  At  the  reporting 
date, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through its short term bank 
deposits, which are subject to variable interest rates.

(ii) Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis

The Group is not materially exposed to any effects on changes in interest rates. The Group 
has  no  borrowings  outstanding  as  at  the  reporting  date  30  June  2022  (2021:  nil).  Trade 
payables are often settled within 30 day credit term and classified as current liabilities.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity  risk  arises  from  the  Group’s  management  of  working  capital  and  the  finance 
charges and principal repayments on its debt instruments. It is the risk that the Group will 
encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, whom 
have built 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 risk by maintaining adequate reserves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF PAPYRUS AUSTRALIA LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Papyrus Australia Limited(the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, 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 2022 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 (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.  

BDO Audit (SA) Pty Ltd ABN 33 161 379 086 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO

KEY AUDIT MATTER  

HOW THE MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN OUR AUDIT 

As disclosed in Note 9, during the financial 

Our audit procedures to address the matter included, amongst 

year ended 30 June 2022, the shareholding in 

others:  

Egyptian Banana Fibre Company has increased 

to 39.22% which gives the Group a total direct 

and indirect interest in Papyrus Egypt of 

69.61%.  

This is a key audit matter because of the 

significant management judgement involved 

in the assessment of whether the Group has 

control over Papyrus Egypt and the 

consequential accounting implications.  

•

•

•

•

Reviewing investment and shareholder documents.  

Confirming the Group’s interest in each investee entity.  

Evaluating the Group’s accounting for its investments for 

consistency with Australian Accounting Standards, including 

the appropriateness of the equity accounting method.  

Assessing the appropriateness and accuracy of the disclosures 

to the financial statements in accordance with the applicable 

Accounting Standards. 

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 2022, 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:
