Paragon Care Limited Financial Report 2014/15Chairman’s Report
For the year ended 30 June 2015

Introduction

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Paragon Care Limited,  
I am pleased to present to you our 2015 Annual Report.

The Period in Review

The financial year ended 30 June 2015 proved to be a rewarding one for 
the Paragon business and for our shareholders. It was characterised 
by a strong operating performance from our core businesses which 
continue to benefit from the favourable macroeconomic backdrop 
underpinning growth in the healthcare industry. 

Our organic and inorganic growth was particularly strong, on the 
acquisition front, in October we successfully entered complimentary 
lines of business through the acquisition of Scanmedics. Based in 
New South Wales, Scanmedics is a leading provider of healthcare 
solutions with expert interest in specialist ultrasound, newborn care, 
aesthetics and cosmetic medicine in Australia and New Zealand. 
The acquisition of Scanmedics offers Paragon exposure to these fast 
growing specialist healthcare markets and further diversifies the 
company’s revenue streams across the healthcare spectrum, both with 
new products and new geographies to do business in.

Financial highlights for the year ended 30 June 2015 included:

 - Revenue up 66% to $32.2m

 - EBITDA of $3.74m, up 110% over the prior period and in line with 

market guidance.

 - Net profit after tax of $2.1m, up 90% over the prior year.

 - Earnings per share of 3.2 cents, up 60% after allowing for additional 

shares issued as part of the consideration for Scanmedics.

 - The company’s balance sheet remains sound with Net Debt to  

EBITDA ratio around 2.3 times.

 - Paragon’s share price more than doubled over the course of the 

financial year as investors continued to embrace our story.

To help facilitate our strong growth, from the end of calendar 2015 
Paragon is consolidating most of its office and warehouse facilities to 
a larger premises in Scoresby in suburban Melbourne. Our physical 
space and human capital requirements continue to grow as the Group 
successfully expands. I would also like to welcome Stephen Munday 
as our new Chief Financial Officer who commenced with the company 
in May. Stephen brings a wealth of experience having been in financial 
roles with various listed companies prior to joining Paragon and has 
already made a very solid contribution.

Going forward I anticipate the favourable ongoing conditions 
underpinning the healthcare sector to persist as the population 
continues to age. Our existing business portfolio should be able to 
continue generating organic growth. The highly fragmented nature 
of the industry should provide ongoing value accretive acquisition 
opportunities, which will further strengthen the growth outlook  
for Paragon.

Our strategy revolves around building critical mass and leveraging the 
integrated manufacturing and distribution platform the company has 
created. Although still a relatively young company, I believe Paragon 
is building a strong track record of year on year revenue and earnings 
growth that would be the envy of many other smaller companies listed 
on the ASX.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank the employees, customers, 
suppliers and shareholders of Paragon Care for their continued 
support. We have a first class management team led by Managing 
Director, Mark Simari, and I remain very confident in the company’s 
ability to continue to generate value for all key stakeholder groups 
moving forward.

 - Fully franked dividends for the year of 1.4 cents, up 12% from the 

1.25 cents in the prior year. Paragon’s growing fully franked dividend 
income stream is another attractive feature for investors.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

Contributed equity increased by $802,298 (from $22,808,822 to

Mr Shane Tanner 
Mr Mark Simari 
Mr Michael Newton
Mr Brett Cheong 
Mr Michael Rice (Alternate Director for Mr Mark Simari)

Principal Activities

The principal continuing activity of the Group is supply of durable

and New Zealand.

There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of

The Group’s performance improved considerably in the 2014–15 
financial year compared with 2013–14. Revenue increased by 66% to 
$32.2 million whilst net profit improved from profit of $1,084,891 in 
2013–14 to $2,103,156 for 2014–15.

The 66% increase in revenue was due primarily to the recent addition  
of our medical devices products portfolio acquired in October 2014.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2015 that has 
significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

(a) The group’s operations in future financial years, or 

(b) The results of those operations in future financial years, or 

(c) The group’s state of affairs in future financial years. 

(d) Paragon Care has entered into conditional term sheets to acquire
Western Biomedical Pty Ltd, Designs For Vision Pty Ltd and 
Meditron Pty Ltd for an upfront consideration of $66.1m. 
Please refer to note 25 of the Notes to and forming part of the 
Financial Statements for further information.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

The Company’s focus for the coming year will be to continue to 
implement its strategy to become one of Australia’s leading providers 
of medical equipment and consumable products to the health and 
aged care sector throughout Australia and New Zealand.  
Leveraging the diverse product portfolio, Paragon Care will continue  
to penetrate high growth markets driven by the ageing of the 
population and continuously rising consumer expectations and 
increasing government spending.

The Company will continue to seek and attempt to secure suitable 
investments or businesses that are complimentary to its existing 
operations and further enhance its product and service offering to  
the health and aged care markets.

Further information on likely developments in the operations of the 
Group and the expected results of operations have not been included 
in this Annual Financial Report because the Directors believe it would  
be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Highlights for the year included:

Environmental Regulations

 - Revenues in excess of $32m and an EBITDA of $3.74m, a substantial 

increase from previous years and validation that the strategy of  
creating a healthcare platform for a vast range of products and  
servicing is successfully being implemented into the health care sector.

 - Successful integration of the Scanmedics acquisition. The introduction 
of Medical devices to the Paragon Care platform has been extremely 
successful with numerous opportunities being created by the merged 
businesses. 

 - Establishment of a New South Wales (Sydney) operations and presence 
to facilitate the expansion into the region for the entire Paragon Care 
suite of products.

The Group’s operations are not regulated by any significant 
environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of  
a State or Territory.

Dividends Paid 

In keeping with the Directors’ confidence in Paragon Care, the Directors 
have recommended the payment of a fully franked final dividend 
of 0.80 cents per fully paid ordinary share ($574,247) to be paid on 
18 September 2015 in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 
2015. The dividend will be paid to all shareholders on the register of 
members as at the Record Date of 31 August 2015. This dividend has 
not been included as a liability in these financial statements.

 - The GM Medical and Rapini product ranges both achieved record years 
from a sales perspective on the back of increased penetration into the 
sector and new product development.  

In March 2015, a fully franked interim dividend of 0.6 cents per fully 
paid ordinary share ($404,539) was paid. The record date was 10 
March 2015 with the payment date of 31 March 2015.

During the year Paragon Care has continued to grow and achieve its 
vision of offering its customers a broad platform of products and 
services designed to assist health professionals easily access high 
quality medical products, devices and consumables to deliver better  
and more affordable medical outcomes to their patients.

The continued expansion of hospital, aged care and allied health and 
medical facilities in Australia and the underlying strength of the health 
care sector provide strong growth markets in which Paragon Care’s 
products and services are sold.

Paragon Care paid a fully franked dividend of 1.25 cent per share with 
the value of $813,565 for the year ended 30 June 2014 on 31 March 
2014 (0.5 cents per share) and 31 October 2014 (0.75 cents per share). 

The dividends attributable to June 30 2014 and the interim divided 
have been included in these financial statements.

Combined with the interim dividend of 0.60c per fully paid ordinary 
share paid in March 2015 in respect of the half year ended 31 
December 2014, the full year dividend for 2015 will be 1.40c per fully 
paid ordinary share, a 12% increase on the full year dividend of 1.25c 
per fully paid ordinary share for the 2014 financial year.

Remuneration governance

The remuneration committee is a committee of the Board. It is 
primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:

 - The over-arching Executive remuneration framework

 - Remuneration levels of Executive Directors and other key management 

personnel, and

 - Non-Executive Directors fees

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures 
are fair, competitive and aligned with the long term interests of the 
Company.

The objective of the Group’s Executive reward framework is to ensure 
reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results 
delivered. The framework aligns Executive reward with achievement 
of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and 
conforms to market practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures 
that Executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good 
reward governance practices:

 - Competitiveness and reasonableness

 - Acceptability to shareholders

 - Performance linkage / alignment of Executive compensation

 - Transparency

 - Capital management

The Group has structured an Executive remuneration framework that  
is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of 
the organisation. 

The remuneration committee is responsible for determining and 
reviewing compensation arrangements. The remuneration committee 
assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments 
of company Executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant 
employment market conditions and capacity to pay with the overall 
objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention 
of a high quality Board and Executive team. Remuneration packages 
are set at levels that attract and retain Executives capable of 
managing the Company’s operations. Remuneration and other terms 
of employment for the Managing Director and Executives have been 
formalised in service agreements. 
Agreements are structured as a total employment cost package which 
may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-
financial benefits at the Executives’ discretion.

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on 
the role of this committee.

The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or 
throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Details of remuneration and service agreements 

Non-Executive Directors

Service Agreements

On appointment to the Board, all Non-Executive Directors enter 
into a service agreement with the company in the form of a letter of 
appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, 
including compensation, relevant to the office of Director.

Remuneration and other terms of employment for Executive Directors 
and other senior executives and key management are also formalised 
in service agreements.

The Board’s policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at 
market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and 
responsibilities. Detail of the remuneration of each Non-Executive 
Director is shown below. The Chairman in consultation with 
independent advisors 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 in a General Meeting, and is currently 
$250,000 per annum. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked 
to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ 
interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged  
to hold shares in the Company. 

Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration reflects the additional 
responsibilities each Director may take on from time to time.  
There are no termination benefits for Non-Executive Directors.

The Company has entered into an Indemnity Deed with each of the 
Directors which will indemnify them against liability incurred to a 
third party (not being the Company or any related company) where the 
liability does not arise out of the conduct involving a lack of good faith. 
The Indemnity Deed will continue to apply for a period of 10 years after 
a Director ceases to hold office. There is also a Directors’ Access and 
Insurance Deed with each of the Directors pursuant to which a Director 
can request access to copies of documents provided to the Director 
whilst serving the Company for a period of 10 years after the Director 
ceases to hold office. There will be certain restrictions on the Directors’ 
entitlement to access under the deed.

Proceedings on Behalf of Company

Paragon Care Limited Financial Report 2014/15Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2015

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(d) Foreign Currency Translation

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of 
these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These 
policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless 
otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated 
entity consisting of Paragon Care Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the 
Corporations Act 2001. Paragon Care Limited is a for-profit entity  
for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that 
the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing 
relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and 
conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting 
Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)  
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these 
financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently 
applied unless otherwise stated.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical 
costs convention modified, where applicable, by the measurement  
at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and 
financial liabilities.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, 
liabilities and results of entities controlled by the Company at the 
end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over 
which Company has the power to govern the financial and operating 
policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will 
generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through 
subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity.  
In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings 
of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the 
year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for 
the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled 
entities is contained in Note 20 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group 
balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated 
group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies 
of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure 
consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not 
attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately 
within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial 
Position and Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their 
interests at the date of the original business combination and their 
share of changes in equity since that date.

(c) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the 
internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. 
The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating 
resources, and assessing performance of the operating segments has, 
been identified as the Board of Directors.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency 
using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 
Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end 
exchange rate. 

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried 
at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary 
items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the 
date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are 
recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or 
net investment hedge.

(e) Revenue Recognition

Sale of goods

The group manufactures and sells a range of goods to the wholesale 
and end user market. Sales of goods are recognised when a group 
entity has delivered product and there is no unfulfilled obligation that 
could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. Delivery does 
not occur until the products have been shipped to the customer, the 
risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred, the customer 
has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, 
the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the group has objective 
evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. 
Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, 
duties and tax paid.

No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made 
with a credit term of between 30 and 60 days which is consistent with 
market practice.

Service

Revenue from service is recognised in the accounting period in which 
the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is 
recognised under the percentage of completion method, based on 
the actual service provided as a percentage of the total services to be 
provided.
Interest revenue is recognised on an accrual basis taking into account 
the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. 

Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the Group’s 
right to receive payment has been established. 

(f) Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current 
income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax 
payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax 
rates enacted, or substantively enacted, as at the end of the reporting 
period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation 
authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset 
and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused 
tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or 
credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax 
relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

17

Paragon Care Limited Financial Report 2014/15 
Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued
For the year ended 30 June 2015

(f) Income Tax (continued)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary 
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and 
their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets 
also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax 
deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised 
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business 
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit 
or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated 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 enacted or substantively enacted 
at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the 
manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying 
amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused 
tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that 
future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the 
deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist 
in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and 
joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised 
where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the 
foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable 
right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or 
simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and 
liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where 
a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets 
and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities 
where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation 
and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in 
future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or 
liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Tax consolidation

Paragon Care Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries 
have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation 
legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and 
deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes 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 head 
entity. The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had 
formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2008. 
The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding arrangement 
whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax 
payable by the Group in proportion to their contribution to the Group’s 
taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets 
and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant 
to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, 
or distribution to the head entity.

(g) Leases

Leases of plant and equipment where the Group as lessee has 
substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as 
finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at 
the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property 
or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any 
guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between 
the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for 
the period.

18

Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight-
line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease 
term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks 
and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the 
periods in which they are incurred.

(h) Business Combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over 
one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets 
and liabilities.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition 
method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses 
under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each 
business combination one of the combining entities must be identified 
as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The business combination will be 
accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control 
over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the 
parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to 
certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of 
the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been 
incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain 
from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement 
of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling 
interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% 
ownership interest is held in the acquiree.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for 
a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any 
previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in 
the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the 
sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the 
acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests 
issued by the acquirer.

Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken 
to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously 
been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are 
recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset 
or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any 
obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified 
as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon 
the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration 
previously paid are recognised as a receivable.

Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified 
as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is 
accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as 
an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value 
through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at 
acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination 
are expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income.

(i) Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there 
is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment 
will include the consideration of external and internal sources of 
information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates 
or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition 
profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on 
the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the 
higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, 

Paragon Care Limited Financial Report 2014/15Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued
For the year ended 30 June 2015

(i) Impairment of Assets (Continued)

Classification and subsequent measurement

to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value 
over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or 
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an 
individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible 
assets with indefinite lives.

(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at  
call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with  
original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. 
Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current 
liabilities on the balance sheet.

(k) Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised when the risks and rewards of 
ownership or provision of services of the underlying sales transactions 
have passed to customers. This event usually occurs on delivery 
of product or provision of services to customers. Trade receivables 
are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for 
impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement 30 
days after the end of the month in which the invoice was raised.  
The collection of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off.  
An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when the Directors consider 
it is probable that the debt is impaired and that it will not be collected.

(l) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and 
condition are comprised of direct material and direct labour and an 
appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure,  
the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. 
Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of 
weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling 
price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs 
necessary to make the sale.

(m) Financial Instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial 
liabilities, are recognised when the group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus 
transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair 
value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments 
classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit 
or loss immediately. Those financial instruments entered into by the 
group are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to 
receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another 
party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing 
involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. 
Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are 
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying 
value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another 
party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of 
non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.

(i)  Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with 
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest rate method.

Trade receivables, being generally on 30 day terms, are recognised 
and carried at original invoice amount less provision for any 
uncollectible debts. An estimate for impaired debtors is made 
when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts 
are written off as incurred.

(ii) 

 Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest rate method.

Due to their short term nature trade and other payables are not 
discounted. They 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. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 
30 days of recognition.

Hedge accounting

The group designates certain derivatives as either:

(i)  Hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm    

commitment (fair value hedge); or

(ii)  Hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges).

At the inception of the transaction the relationship between 
hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the Group’s risk 
management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge 
transactions is documented. Assessments, both at hedge inception 
and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in 
hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective 
in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items, are 
also documented.

(i)  Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and 
qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in the Statement of 
Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, together with any 
changes in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities that are 
attributable to the hedged risk.

(ii)  Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that 
are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred to a 
hedge reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective 
portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit or 
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Amounts accumulated 
in the hedge reserve in equity are transferred to the Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the periods 
when the hedged item will affect profit or loss.

Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must 
be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure 
purposes. Unless otherwise disclosed in the notes to the financial 
statements, the carrying amount of the Group’s financial instruments 
approximates their fair value. 

19

Paragon Care Limited Financial Report 2014/15 
 
Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued
For the year ended 30 June 2015

(n) Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the historical cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually 
by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount 
from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis 
of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s 
employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash 
flows have been discounted to their present values in determining 
recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group 
includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an 
appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or 
recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will 
flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. 
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during 
the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and 
capitalised leased assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated 
on either a straight-line or diminishing value basis over the asset’s 
useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held 
ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the 
shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset

Depreciation Rate

Furniture, Fittings  Equipment

Motor Vehicles

10–33%

14–25%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted 
if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its 
recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its 
estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds 
with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. When 
revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus 
relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

(o) Investments in Associates

Associate companies are companies in which the Group has significant 
influence through holding, directly or indirectly, between 20% and 
50% of the voting power of the Company. Investments in associates 
are accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity 
method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recognised 
at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the 
Group’s share of net assets of the Associate Company. In addition the 
Group’s share of the profit or loss of the Associate Company is included 
in the Group’s profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to 
the associate. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of 
the associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities 
over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of 
the investment and is instead included as income in the determination 
of the investor’s share of the associate’s profit or loss in the period in 
which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and 
the associate are eliminated to the extent of the relation to the Group’s 
investment in the associate.

When the reporting dates of the Group and the associate are different, 
the associate prepares, for the Group’s use, financial statements 
as of the same date as the financial statements of the Group with 
adjustments being made for the effects of significant transactions 
or events that occur between that date and the date of the investor’s 
financial statements.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its 
interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share 
of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations 
or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate 
subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume the recognition of 
its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share 
of the losses not recognised.

(p) Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the 
fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the 
acquired business at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment 
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances 
indicate it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated 
impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity 
include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of 
impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating 
units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit 
from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Software development 

Software development costs are capitalised only when incurred.

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic 
basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of 
the software, generally about three years. Initial TGA registration costs 
have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched 
to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the product, 
generally 2–3 years.

(q) Trade and other Payables

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which are 
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 
days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as  
current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from  
the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value  
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective  
interest method. 

(r) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive 
obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an 
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the 
amount has been reliably estimated. 

20

Paragon Care Limited Financial Report 2014/15Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued
For the year ended 30 June 2015

(s) Employee Benefits

Wages and salaries and annual leave 

(v) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating profit 
after income tax attributable to the Group by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, 
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the 
financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the 
determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account 
amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per 
share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding 
during the year.

(w) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have 
been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current 
financial year.

When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes 
a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial 
statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the 
earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

(x) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

At the date of this financial report the following standards and 
interpretations, which may impact the entity in the period of initial 
application, have been issued but are not yet effective. Other than 
changes to disclosure formats, it is not expected that the initial 
application of these new standards in the future will have any material 
impact on the financial report.

Liabilities in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave  
are recognised, and are measured as the amount unpaid at the  
reporting date at current pay rates in respect of employees’  
service up to that date. 

Long service leave 

A liability for long service leave is recognised, and 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 expected future wages and salary levels, 
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected 
future payments are discounted using interest rates on national 
corporate bond rates with terms of maturity that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Superannuation 

The Company contributed to multi-employer industry funds which 
provide retirement, disability and death benefits for employees.  
The Company is under no legal obligation to make up any shortfall  
in any of these funds. 

Share Based Payments 

Share-based compensation benefits may be provided directly by the 
issue of ordinary shares or options to employees. The fair value of 
options granted is recognised as an employee benefits expenses with 
a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is 
determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. 

The fair value of ASX listed ordinary shares or options is measured  
by the last sale price of the relevant ordinary shares or options on  
the ASX on or immediately prior to the date of issue. The fair value of 
unlisted options at grant date is determined using the Black-Scholes 
model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution,  
the non-tradeable nature of the option, the share price at grant date 
and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected 
dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the 
arrangement. An expense is taken up over the period during which  
the employees become entitled to the option.

(t) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of 
GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from 
the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are 
shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross 
basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing 
activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(u) Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares 
or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the 
proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new 
shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in 
the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example, 
as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted 
from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss 
is recognised in profit or loss and the consideration paid including 
any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is 
recognised directly in equity.

Note 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions concerning 
the future, which, by definition will seldom represent actual results. 
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant inherent risk 
in respect of estimates based on future events, which could have a 
material impact on the assets and liabilities in the next financial years, 
are discussed below: 

Impairment of Goodwill

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period 
by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that 
may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts 
of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations 
which incorporate various key assumptions. With respect to cash 
flow projections for the Group’s businesses based in Australia, 
revenue growth rates of between 5% and 12% have been factored 
into valuation models for the next five years. This is on the basis of 
management’s expectation of increased government expenditure 
in both the acute and aged care market sectors, much of which has 
already been publicly announced, and their belief in the Group’s 
continued ability to capture a significant share of this expenditure. 
The rates used incorporate allowance for inflation. Pre-tax discount 
rates of 16.3% have been used in all models. No impairment has been 
recognised in respect of goodwill at the end  
of the reporting period.

The amount of deferred tax assets which may be realised in the future is dependant on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in 
income tax legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be 
realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Foreign exchange forward contracts—Cash flow hedges

Companies within the group import materials from the United States, Europe and Asia. In order to protect against exchange rate 
movements, the group has entered into forward exchange contracts to purchase US dollars and Euro. These contracts are hedging 
highly probable forecasted purchases for the ensuing financial year. The contracts are timed to mature when payments for major 
shipments are scheduled to be made.

The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other 
comprehensive income. When the cash flows occur, the group adjusts the initial measurement of the component recognised in the 
balance sheet by removing the related amount from other comprehensive income.

After initial recognition, goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not 
amortised but is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to the 
profitability of the business acquired. Impairment testing is undertaken by assessing the cash generated from the businesses and estimating the 
value of the businesses using cash flow projections. Refer to note 2 for further details.

The bank has a first registered company charge over all assets and undertakings including uncalled capital of the consolidated entity.
Lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assets recognised in the financial statements revert to the lessor in the  
event of default.

The company has entered into a trade finance facility agreement with Westpac Bank to facilitate the importation of goods into Australia from 
overseas. Individual import transactions are financed for a period not exceeding 180 days after the arrival of goods in Australia. This facility has 
been extended as part of the company’s overall banking arrangements with Westpac and is therefore covered by the charge. Unlike the Bank loans 
this revolving trade finance facility does not have a reducing principal balance and is continuously utilised to provide a source of working capital 
more closely matching the inventory life cycle of imported products.

(b) Capital Management

When managing capital, the Directors’ objective is to ensure the Company continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns 
to shareholders. The Directors also aim to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Company. The 
Directors are constantly monitoring the Company’s capital requirements and capital structure to take advantage of favourable opportunities 
for raising capital. The Directors have no current plans to issue further shares or options on the market unless they conclude a further business 
acquisition. The Directors monitor capital through the gearing ratio (net debt divided by total capital). The target for the Group’s gearing ratio is 
below 50%.

The gearing ratios for the years ending 30 June 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Total Borrowings

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

NOTE 19 Financial Risk Management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risk: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity 
risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse 
effects on the financial performance of the Group. Derivative financial instruments are used by the Group to hedge exposure to exchange rate 
risk associated with foreign currency transactions. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes, ie not as trading or other speculative 
instruments.

(a) Market Risk

(i) Forward exchange risk

The Group enters into forward exchange contracts to buy and sell specified amounts of foreign currencies in the future at stipulated rates. 
The objective in entering into the forward exchange contracts is to protect the economic entity against unfavourable exchange rate movements  
for the purchases undertaken in foreign currencies.

The Group’s risk management policy is to hedge between 40% and 100% of anticiptated cash flows (purchase of inventory) in Euro/US Dollars  
for the subsequent 12 months.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

NOTE 19 Financial Risk Management (Continued)

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s debt obligations with the floating 
interest rate. The Company’s policy is not to actively manage interest cost. At 30 June 2015 $3,337,815 (2014: $483,000) of the Company’s debt is 
at a variable rate of interest.

The financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk are as follows:

Financial Assets

Cash and cash equivalents (interest bearing)

Financial Liabilities

Interest bearing liabilities — variable rate (current)

Interest bearing liabilities — fixed rate (current)

Interest bearing liabilities — variable rate (non-current)

Interest bearing liabilities — fixed rate (non-current)

(4,305,020)

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with 
banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For 
banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of “A” are accepted. For customers, risk control assesses 
the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The compliance with credit limits by 
customers is regularly monitored by line management.

The Group has no significant exposure to any individual debtor of the Group and the credit risk is low for the majority of the balance. Receivables 
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and given the low risk profile of customers the Group’s exposure to bad debts is insignificant. 
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit 
facilities. Forecasted cash flows are used to calculate the forecasted liquidity position and to maintain suitable liquidity levels.

Financing Arrangements

(d) Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement 
hierarchy:

(a)  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);

(b)  inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or

liability either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF

PARAGON CARE LIMITED

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Paragon Care Limited, which comprises the consolidated
statement  of  financial  position as  at 30  June  2015,  and  the consolidated statement  of  comprehensive  income,
consolidated statement of changes  in  equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the  year then ended,
notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies and  other  explanatory  information, and  the 
directors'  declaration  of  the  company  and  the  consolidated  entity  comprising  the  company  and  the  entities  it 
controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility 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 is free from 
material  misstatement,  whether  due  to fraud  or  error.
In  Note 1,  the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with 
Accounting  Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial  Statements, that the financial statements comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant 
ethical  requirements  relating  to audit  engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the 
financial  report.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor's  judgement,  including  the  assessment  of  the 
risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  report,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error. 
In  making  those  risk 
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the 
financial  report  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the 
purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity's  internal  control.  An  audit  also  includes 
evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates 
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

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