Paragon Care Limited 
Chairman's report 
30 June 2019 

On behalf of the Board of Paragon Care Limited, I am pleased to present to you our 2019 Annual Report. 

The financial year ended  30th June  2019 was both productive yet challenging and there were many  highlights and issues 
that were experienced throughout the year. The most pleasing aspect of the 2019 Financial Year was the transitioning of the 
business from a very cyclical and sometimes commoditised business into a business that is significantly less seasonal and 
now comprises many high quality and higher margin products and services. Most of Paragon’s high-tech products now are 
sold with a strong trailing consumable business together with a fast-growing service and support division.  

The key highlights for the 2019 Financial year included: 

• Revenues grew 88% to $257m (Core Revenues were up 101%)
• Gross Margins were held at just over 40% which was very pleasing
•
•

The Sale of several underperforming, highly competitive and cyclical businesses effective, 30th June 2019
The  integration  of  14  businesses  into  4  ‘Pillar’  business  –  Devices,  Diagnostics,  Capital  &  Consumables  and
Services

• Organic revenue growth of 9% for the Device business – a business that now represents a third of Paragon’s total

revenue base

Paragon  has  a  key  objective  in  the  current  financial  year  to  lift  organic  growth  from  5%  to  an  average  of  7%  per  annum 
across the board. In addition to this stronger revenue growth, the recent introduction of the Microsoft Dynamics ERP System 
(single IT platform across Paragon) will greatly assist to bring operating costs down from around 29% of revenue to closer to 
26% of revenue. This major ‘cost out’ program has been well researched and has involved a ‘top to toe’ review of every cost 
category within the company. This reduction in operating costs is expected be higher than $6m over the next 18 months. 

The recent doubling of the size of the Company’s revenue base has come with some challenges. However, the revenue and 
gross  margin  performance  has  been  exceptional.  Now  a  more  effective  and  efficiently  managed  ‘back  office’  structure  is 
required.  This  will  happen  via  tighter  IT  systems,  a  more  streamlined  financial  structure  together  with  a  significant 
rationalisation  of  our  many  property  leases.  With  these  expected  improvements,  the  Company’s  dividend  program  will  be 
swiftly returned. 

On  behalf  of  the  Board,  I  would  like  to  thank  our  customers,  our  key  equipment  partners,  staff  and  shareholders  for  their 
continued support. We move into the 2020 financial year with positivity but very mindful the Company must become more 
profitable through smarter rationalisation and planning. 

Yours faithfully 

Shane Tanner 
Chairman

Significant changes in the state of affairs

plants located in Melbourne operated by 40 staff; at the date of acquisition Lovell had net assets in excess of $257,000 and

Paragon Care Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2019 

On 21 November 2018 the Company acquired 100% of the shares in Total Communication Pty Ltd. Total Communication 
is a unique acquisition  providing an  integrated vendor management and support solution to the aged care sector. These 
products cover Telephony, Nurse Calls, Access Control, CCTV, Cordless and Healthcare Wi-Fi requirements. As per the 
sale  agreement,  the  vendors  are  entitled  to  an  earnout  of  3  times  the  EBITDA  growth  on  forecasted  FY20.  Whilst  this 
payment is uncapped, it’s unlikely to go beyond the anticipated range of $1,800,000 and $2,850,000. 

Further  details  on  the  significant  changes  in  the  state  of  affairs  of  the  Group  can  be  found  in  the  Chairman's  report 
preceding this Directors' report. 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
No  matter  or  circumstance  has  arisen  since  30  June  2019  that  has  significantly  affected,  or  may  significantly  affect  the 
Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
Information on likely developments in the  operations  of the Group and the expected results of operations  have not been 
included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. 

Environmental regulation 
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Remuneration report (audited) 
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. 

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: 
● 
●

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
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 the achievement of strategic objectives 
and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of 
reward.  The  Board  of  Directors  ('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 

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  remuneration  arrangements 
for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The 
remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel. 

In consultation with external remuneration consultants (refer to the section 'Use of remuneration consultants' below), the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive 
and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group. 

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board has considered that it 
should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by: 
● 
● 

 having economic profit as a core component of plan design 
 focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering 
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value 
 attracting and retaining high calibre executives

Paragon Care Limited 
Directors' report 
30 June 2019 

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by: 
● 
● 
● 

 rewarding capability and experience 
 reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth 
 providing a clear structure for earning rewards 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive  director 
remuneration is separate. 

Non-executive directors remuneration 
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  and  responsibilities  of  their  role.  Non-executive 
directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and 
Remuneration  Committee  may,  from  time  to  time,  receive  advice  from  independent  remuneration  consultants  to  ensure 
non-executive  directors'  fees  and  payments  are  appropriate  and  in  line  with  the  market.  The  chairman's  fees  are 
determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. 
The  chairman  is  not  present  at  any  discussions  relating  to  the  determination  of  his  own  remuneration.  Non-executive 
directors do not receive share options or other incentives. 

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a  general 
meeting.  The  most  recent  determination  was  at  an  Annual  General  Meeting  and  came  into  effect  on  1  July  2015. 
Shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $350,000. 

Executive remuneration 
The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which 
has both fixed and variable components. 

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 base pay and non-monetary benefits 
 short-term performance incentives 
 share-based payments 
 other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave 

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration. 

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation  and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed  annually by  the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of 
the Group and comparable market remunerations. 

Executives  may  receive  their  fixed  remuneration  in  the  form  of  cash  or  other  fringe  benefits  (for  example  motor  vehicle 
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive. 

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration 
The  consolidated  entity  performance  is  not  directly  linked  to  remuneration.  However,  to  align  directors’  interests  with 
shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. 

In  considering  non-executive  director  and  executive  remuneration  the  Directors  take  into  consideration  the  Company’s 
share performance and shareholder wealth creation. During the financial year the Company’s share price traded between a 
low of 41.0 cents and a high of 83.0 cents. As at 30 June 2019 the Company’s share price (ASX: PGC) was 41.5 cents per 
share. 

Refer to the section 'Additional information' below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five 
years. 

Employee Incentive Plan 
During  the  year,  shareholders  approved  the  Paragon  Care  Employee  Incentive  Plan  ('EIP')  at  the  2018  Annual  General 
Meeting ('AGM'). 

The EIP is an employee equity plan developed to meet contemporary equity design standards and to provide the greatest 
possible flexibility in the design and offer choices available in respect of various new equity schemes.

The  EIP  enables  the  Company  to  offer  employees  a  range  of  different  employee  share  scheme  ('ESS')  interests.  These 
ESS interests of 'awards' include options, performance rights, service rights, deferred shares, exempt shares, cash rights 
and stock appreciation rights. 

The type of ESS interest that may be offered to employees will be determined by a number of factors, including: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 the remuneration or incentive purpose of the award; 
 the tax jurisdiction that the participating employee lives and/or works in; 
 the laws governing equity incentives where the participating employee lives and/or works; and 
 the logistics and compliance costs associated with offering quality incentives where the participating employee lives 
and/or works. 

Performance rights 

Vesting conditions and important dates 
The vesting conditions for these performance rights will depend on meeting the following: 
● 
● 

 Service up to 31 August 2021; and 
 If Paragon Care Limited achieves a compound annual growth rate ('CAGR') in earnings per share ('EPS') of between 
10% (50% vests) and 15% (100% vests) per annum above the base year (financial year ended 30 June 2018), EPS of 
5.4 cents per share over the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021. Straight line interpolation will apply between 10% 
and 15%. 

The vesting conditions for performance rights granted on 26 April 2019 will depend on meeting the following: 
● 
● 

 Service up to 31 August 2022; and 
 If Paragon Care Limited achieves a compound annual growth rate ('CAGR') in earnings per share ('EPS') of between 
10% (50% vests) and 15% (100% vests) per annum above the base year (financial year ended 30 June 2019), EPS of 
5.4 cents per share over the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022. Straight line interpolation will apply between 10% 
and 15%. 

The  first  vesting  date  of  performance  rights  issued  on  14  December  2018  is  31  August  2021  and  all  these  performance 
rights will lapse on 30 September 2021 if not vested and exercised. The first vesting date of performance rights issued on 
26  April  2019  is  31  August  2022  and  all  these  performance  rights  will  lapse  on  30  September  2022  if  not  vested  and 
exercised. 

Other conditions 
Unvested performance rights may, in certain circumstances, vest early in accordance with the terms of the EIP rules, and 
any leaver's policy that may apply from time to time, as approved by the Board. 

Any  dealing  in  shares  is  subject  to  the  constraints  of  Australian  insider  trading  laws  and  the  Company's  share  trading 
policy.  Participants  are  specifically  prohibited  from  hedging  their  Company  share  price  exposure  in  respect  of  their 
performance rights during the vesting period. 

If, in  the  Board's opinion,  an employee  acts fraudulently or dishonestly or  is in  breach of  their material  obligations to the 
Company, the Board may determine that any or all of their performance rights which have not yet vested, lapse. 

Use of remuneration consultants 
During the financial year, the Group did not engage remuneration consultants. 

Voting and comments made at the Company's 20 November 2018 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') 
At the 20 November 2018 AGM, 97.87% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the 
year  ended  30  June  2018.  The  Company  did  not  receive  any  specific  feedback  at  the  AGM  regarding  its  remuneration 
practices.

Directors' report 
30 June 2019 

Shares issued on the exercise of performance rights 
There  were  no  ordinary  shares  of  Paragon  Care  Limited  issued  on  the  exercise  of  performance  rights  during  the  year 
ended 30 June 2019 and up to the date of this report. 

Indemnity and insurance of officers 
The  Company  has  indemnified  the  directors  and  executives  of  the  Company  for  costs  incurred,  in  their  capacity  as  a 
director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith. 

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of 
the Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. 

Indemnity and insurance of auditor 
The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the 
Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. 

During  the  financial  year,  the  Company  has  not  paid  a  premium  in  respect  of  a  contract  to  insure  the  auditor  of  the 
Company or any related entity. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Company 
No  person  has  applied  to  the  Court  under  section  237  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  leave  to  bring  proceedings  on 
behalf  of  the  Company,  or  to  intervene  in  any  proceedings  to  which  the  Company  is  a  party  for  the  purpose  of  taking 
responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. 

Non-audit services 
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 34 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf),  is compatible  with the general standard  of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 34 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
●

all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity
of the auditor; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, 
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

●

Officers of the Company who are former partners of RSM Australia Partners 
There are no officers of the Company who are former partners of RSM Australia Partners. 

Rounding of amounts 
The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

Auditor's independence declaration 
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out 
immediately after this directors' report.

Paragon Care Limited 
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 1. General information 

The financial statements cover Paragon Care Limited as a Group consisting of Paragon Care Limited ('Company' or 'parent 
entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. Paragon Care Limited and its subsidiaries together 
are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'. The financial statements  are presented in  Australian dollars, 
which is Paragon Care Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

Paragon Care Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered 
office and principal place of business is: 

50-54 Clayton Road
Clayton VIC 3168

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is 
not part of the financial statements. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 23 September 2019. 
The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The  Group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. 

The Group has early adopted new Accounting Standard AASB 16 'Leases', which replaces AASB 117 'Leases'. No other 
new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have been early adopted. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group: 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models 
for  financial  assets.  A  financial  asset  shall  be  measured  at  amortised  cost  if  it  is  held  within  a  business  model  whose 
objective  is  to  hold  assets  in  order  to  collect  contractual  cash  flows  which  arise  on  specified  dates  and  that  are  solely 
principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held 
within  a  business  model  whose  objective  is  to  both  hold  assets  in  order  to  collect  contractual  cash  flows  which  arise  on 
specified  dates  that  are  solely  principal  and  interest  as  well  as  selling  the  asset  on  the  basis  of  its  fair  value.  All  other 
financial  assets  are  classified  and  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  unless  the  entity  makes  an  irrevocable 
election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent 
consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a 
financial  asset may  be  irrevocably  designated  as  measured  at fair  value through profit  or  loss  to  reduce  the effect  of,  or 
eliminate,  an  accounting  mismatch.  For  financial  liabilities  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  the  standard 
requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it 
would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the 
accounting  treatment  with  the  risk  management  activities  of  the  entity.  New  impairment  requirements  use  an  'expected 
credit  loss' ('ECL')  model to recognise  an  allowance.  Impairment  is  measured  using  a 12-month  ECL  method  unless  the 
credit  risk  on  a  financial  instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition  in  which  case  the  lifetime  ECL 
method is  adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected 
loss allowance is available.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
The  Group  has  adopted  AASB  15  from  1  July  2018.  The  standard  provides  a  single  comprehensive  model  for  revenue 
recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised 
goods  or  services  to  customers  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  entity  expects  to  be  entitled  in 
exchange  for  those  goods  or  services.  The  standard  introduced  a  new  contract-based  revenue  recognition  model  with  a 
measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting 
policies  below.  Credit  risk  is  presented  separately  as  an  expense  rather  than  adjusted  against  revenue.  Contracts  with 
customers  are  presented  in  an  entity's  statement  of  financial  position  as  a  contract  liability,  a  contract  asset,  or  a 
receivable,  depending  on  the  relationship  between  the  entity's  performance  and  the  customer's  payment.  Customer 
acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over 
the contract period. 

The  Group  manufactures  and  sells  a  range  of  medical  products  to  the  wholesale  and  end  user  market.  Sales  are 
recognised when the Company has delivered products and there is no unfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s 
acceptance  of the product. The consideration receivable  is typically on terms of between  30 to  60  days. The transaction 
price is allocated to all performance obligations identified in the contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, 
trade allowances and rebates. 

The Group has a Technology and Service platform. Revenue from services is recognised in the accounting period in which 
the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised over time using the percentage of completion 
method, based on actual service provided as a percentage of the total service to be provided. 

AASB 16 Leases 
The  Group  early  adopted  AASB  16  from  1  July  2018  notwithstanding  that  the  standard  is  mandatorily  effective  for 
accounting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2019.  The  standard  replaces  AASB  117  'Leases'  and  for  lessees 
eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-value 
assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-
line  operating  lease  expense  recognition  is  replaced  with  a  depreciation  charge  for  the  right-of-use  assets  (included  in 
operating  costs)  and  an  interest  expense  on  the  recognised  lease  liabilities  (included  in  finance  costs).  In  the  earlier 
periods  of  the  lease,  the  expenses  associated  with  the  lease  under  AASB  16  will  be  higher  when  compared  to  lease 
expenses  under  AASB  117.  However,  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and  Amortisation)  results 
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For classification 
within  the statement of cash flows, the  interest portion is  disclosed  in  operating  activities and the principal  portion  of the 
lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially 
change how a lessor accounts for leases. 

Impact of adoption 
The Group has assessed the requirement of AASB 9 and there was no impact from the adoption of AASB 9. 

The impact on the financial performance and position of the Group from the adoption of AASB 15 is immaterial. There is no 
retrospective adjustment to the financial report required. 

AASB 16 'Leases' had a material impact on the financial statements. The Group previously classified operating or finance 
leases  based  on  its  assessment  of  whether  the  lease  transferred  significantly  all  of  the  risks  and  rewards  incidental  to 
ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. Under AASB 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and liabilities for 
most leases on the statement of financial position. 

The  Group  has  applied  the  exemption  not  to  recognise  right-of-use  assets  and  liabilities  for  leases  with  less  than  12 
months remaining to the lease term. 

The Group applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not 
been restated. For the purposes of applying the modified retrospective approach to the leases, the Group has elected to 
measure the right-of-use  assets at carrying amounts  determined  as  if  it  had applied AASB  16 since the commencement 
date of the lease using its incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. 

Ongoing lease payments are split between depreciation and interest expenses. Interest expenses on the lease liability is a 
component of financial costs, which are presented in the statement of profit or loss.

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

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a 
higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the  financial 
statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  Group  only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 37. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Paragon Care Limited as at 
30 June 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  Group  has  control.  The  Group  controls  an  entity  when  the  Group  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 activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is 
transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the  Group  are  eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted 
by the Group. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised  directly  in  equity 
attributable to the parent. 

Foreign currency translation 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Paragon Care Limited's functional and presentation 
currency. 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Company's functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement  of such transactions and 
from  the  translation  at  financial  year-end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign 
currencies are recognised in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average 
exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange 
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. 

Revenue recognition 
The Group recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue  is  recognised  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  Group  is  expected  to  be  entitled  in 
exchange  for  transferring  goods  or  services  to  a  customer.  For  each  contract  with  a  customer,  the  Group:  identifies  the 
contract  with  a  customer;  identifies  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  determines  the  transaction  price  which 
takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the 
separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be 
delivered;  and  recognises  revenue  when  or  as  each  performance  obligation  is  satisfied  in  a  manner  that  depicts  the 
transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, 
rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates 
are  determined  using  either  the  'expected  value'  or  'most  likely  amount'  method.  The  measurement  of  variable 
consideration is subject to  a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it  is highly 
probable  that  a  significant  reversal  in  the  amount  of  cumulative  revenue  recognised  will  not  occur.  The  measurement 
constraint  continues  until  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  subsequently  resolved.  Amounts 
received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability. 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is 
generally at the time of delivery. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

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

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

 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
nor taxable profits; or 
 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and 
the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

● 

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

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

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

Discontinued operations 
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that 
represents  a  separate  major  line  of  business  or  geographical  area  of  operations,  is  part  of  a  single  co-ordinated  plan  to 
dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The 
results  of  discontinued  operations  are  presented  separately  on  the  face  of  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income. 

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

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

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

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

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

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 
30 days. 

The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Inventories 
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a 'first in first 
out'  basis.  Cost  comprises  of  direct  materials  and  delivery  costs,  direct  labour,  import  duties  and  other  taxes,  an 
appropriate  proportion  of  variable  and  fixed  overhead  expenditure  based  on  normal  operating  capacity,  and,  where 
applicable,  transfers  from  cash  flow  hedging  reserves  in  equity.  Costs  of  purchased  inventory  are  determined  after 
deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of 
rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion 
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

Derivative financial instruments 
Derivatives  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  on  the  date  a  derivative  contract  is  entered  into  and  are  subsequently 
remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each  reporting  date.  The  accounting  for  subsequent  changes  in  fair  value  depends  on 
whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. 

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation. 

Cash flow hedges 
Cash flow hedges are used to cover the Group's exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to particular risks 
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a firm commitment which could affect profit or loss. The effective portion of 
the  gain  or  loss  on  the  hedging  instrument  is  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  through  the  cash  flow  hedges 
reserve in equity, whilst the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts taken to equity are transferred out of 
equity and included in the measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast transaction occurs. 

Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a regular basis both retrospectively and prospectively to ensure that each 
hedge  is  highly  effective  and  continues  to  be  designated  as  a  cash  flow  hedge.  If  the  forecast  transaction  is  no  longer 
expected to occur, the amounts recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the hedge becomes 
ineffective  and  is  no  longer  a  designated  hedge,  the  amounts  previously  recognised  in  equity  remain  in  equity  until  the 
forecast transaction occurs. 

Investments and other financial assets 
Investments  and  other  financial  assets  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction  costs  are  included  as  part  of  the 
initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured 
at  either  amortised  cost  or  fair  value  depending  on  their  classification.  Classification  is  determined  based  on  both  the 
business  model  within  which  such  assets  are  held  and  the  contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the  financial  asset 
unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided. 

Financial assets  are  derecognised  when the rights to receive cash  flows have expired or  have  been  transferred and the 
Group  has  transferred  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  When  there  is  no  reasonable  expectation  of 
recovering part or all of a financial asset, it's carrying value is written off. 

Investments 
Investments  includes  non-derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  and  fixed  maturities  where  the 
Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the financial asset to maturity. This category excludes financial assets 
that  are  held  for  an  undefined  period.  Investments  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method 
adjusted for any principal repayments. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or 
impaired. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The  Group  recognises  a  loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on  financial  assets  which  are  either  measured  at 
amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon 
the  Group's  assessment  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period  as  to  whether  the  financial  instrument's  credit  risk  has 
increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without 
undue cost or effort to obtain. 

Where  there  has  not  been  a  significant  increase  in  exposure  to  credit  risk  since  initial  recognition,  a  12-month  expected 
credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable 
to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where 
it  is  determined  that  credit  risk  has  increased  significantly,  the  loss  allowance  is  based  on  the  asset's  lifetime  expected 
credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present 
value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, at least every 3 years, valuations by external independent 
valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment for buildings. The valuations are undertaken more frequently if there 
is  a  material  change  in  the  fair  value  relative  to  the  carrying  amount.  Any  accumulated  depreciation  at  the  date  of 
revaluation  is  eliminated  against  the  gross  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  and  the  net  amount  is  restated  to  the  revalued 
amount of the asset. Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited in other 
comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve in equity. Any revaluation decrements are initially taken 
in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve to the extent of any previous revaluation surplus 
of the same asset. Thereafter the decrements are taken to profit or loss. 

Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated  on  a straight-line basis to  write off the  net cost  of each item of property,  plant  and equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Land 
Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each  reporting 
date. 

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. 

Right-of-use assets 
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises the  initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as  applicable,  any lease payments made  at or  before the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in 
the  cost  of  inventories,  an  estimate  of  costs  expected  to  be  incurred  for  dismantling  and  removing  the  underlying  asset, 
and restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of 
the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted 
for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

Right-of-use  assets  that  meet  the  definition  of  investment  property  are  measured  at  fair  value  where  the  Group  has 
adopted a fair value measurement basis for investment property assets. 

The  Group  has  elected  not  to  recognise  a  right-of-use  asset  and  corresponding  lease  liability  for  short-term  leases  with 
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss 
as incurred. 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value 
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible 
assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  amortisation  and  any  impairment.  The  gains  or  losses  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. 
Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation 
method or period. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  a  business.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at 
cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment  losses  on  goodwill  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  and  are  not 
subsequently reversed. 

Website 
Significant costs associated with the development of the revenue generating aspects of the website, including the capacity 
of placing orders, are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their 
finite life of 10 years. 

Customer contracts 
Customer  contracts  acquired  in  a  business  combination  are  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  period  of  their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years. 

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 benefit over the useful life of the software.

R&D Projects 
R&D  Projects  are  capitalised  only  when  incurred.  R&D  Projects  are  amortised  when  the  items  developed  are  ready  for 
market use. They are amortised over the expected useful life of the items developed. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful  life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are  tested 
annually  for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be  impaired. 
Other  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit. 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and 
which  are  unpaid.  Due  to  their  short-term  nature  they  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  and  are  not  discounted.  The 
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Borrowings 
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the 
loans or borrowings are classified as non-current. 

Lease liabilities 
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present 
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or,  if  that  rate  cannot  be  readily  determined,  the  Group's  incremental  borrowing  rate.  Lease  payments  comprise  of  fixed 
payments  less  any  lease  incentives  receivable,  variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  a  rate,  amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option 
is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend 
on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured 
if  there  is  a  change  in  the  following:  future  lease  payments  arising  from  a  change  in  an  index  or  a  rate  used;  residual 
guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an 
adjustment  is  made  to  the  corresponding  right-of  use  asset,  or  to  profit  or  loss  if  the  carrying  amount  of  the  right-of-use 
asset is fully written down. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service  leave  expected  to  be 
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are 
measured at 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 wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures 
and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high-quality 
corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation expense 
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of 
cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  independently  determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option,  the  impact  of  dilution,  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 option, together with non-vesting conditions that do 
not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken 
of any other vesting conditions. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  recognised  as  an  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  over  the 
vesting  period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of  the award, the 
best  estimate  of  the  number  of  awards  that  are  likely  to  vest  and  the  expired  portion  of  the  vesting  period.  The  amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods. 

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was 
granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: 
● 

 during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the 
expired portion of the vesting period. 
 from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the 
reporting date. 

● 

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to 
settle the liability. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions 
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are 
satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. 
An  additional  expense  is  recognised,  over  the  remaining  vesting  period,  for  any  modification  that  increases  the  total  fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a 
cancellation.  If  the  condition  is  not  within  the  control  of  the  Group  or  employee  and  is  not  satisfied  during  the  vesting 
period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. 

If  equity-settled  awards  are  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  has  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award is treated as if they were a modification. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability,  financial or non-financial,  is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure  purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date;  and  assumes  that  the  transaction  will  take  place  either:  in  the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Fair  value  is  measured  using  the  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  when  pricing  the  asset  or  liability, 
assuming they  act  in their  economic  best  interests. For non-financial assets,  the fair value measurement is based  on  its 
highest  and  best  use.  Valuation  techniques  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are 
available  to  measure  fair  value,  are  used,  maximising  the  use  of  relevant  observable  inputs  and  minimising  the  use  of 
unobservable inputs. 

Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  reflects  the 
significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement. 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge 
and  reputation.  Where  there  is  a  significant  change  in  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  from  one  period  to  another,  an 
analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data. 

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds. 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company. 

Business combinations 
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments 
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value 
or  at  the  proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree's  identifiable  net  assets.  All  acquisition  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred  to 
profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification  and  designation  in  accordance  with  the  contractual  terms,  economic  conditions,  the  Group's  operating  or 
accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the  Group  remeasures  its  previously  held  equity  interest  in  the 
acquiree at the acquisition-date  fair value and  the difference between  the fair value  and the previous carrying amount  is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is  recognised  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent 
changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss. 
Contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within 
equity. 

The  difference  between  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed  and  any  non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment 
in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair 
value  of the identifiable  net assets acquired, being a  bargain purchase to the acquirer, the  difference  is recognised as a 
gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred 
and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based 
on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The  measurement 
period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the 
information possible to determine fair value. 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Paragon Care Limited, excluding 
any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, 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 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  shares  assumed  to  have  been  issued  for  no  consideration  in  relation  to  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

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

Rounding of amounts 
The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The Group's 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, 
are set out below. 

New Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 
A  revised  Conceptual  Framework  for  Financial  Reporting  has  been  issued  by  the  AASB  and  is  applicable  for  annual 
reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2020.  This  release  impacts  for-profit  private  sector  entities  that  have 
public  accountability  that  are  required  by  legislation  to  comply  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  other  for-profit 
entities that voluntarily elect to apply the Conceptual Framework. Phase 2 of the framework is yet to be released which will 
impact for-profit private sector entities. The application of new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on 
measurement  will  result  in  amendments  to  several  accounting  standards.  The  issue  of  AASB  2019-1  Amendments  to 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  References  to  the  Conceptual  Framework,  also  applicable  from  1  January  2020, 
includes  such  amendments.  Where  the  Group  has  relied  on  the  conceptual  framework  in  determining  its  accounting 
policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting Standards, the 
Group may need to revisit such policies. The Group will apply the revised conceptual framework from 1 July 2020 and is 
yet to assess its impact.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

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

Provision for impairment of inventories 
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree  of estimation and judgement. The level of the 
provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that 
affect inventory obsolescence. 

Fair value measurement hierarchy 
The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on 
the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) 
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other 
than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 
3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair 
value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective. 

The  fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  classified  as  level  3  is  determined  by  the  use  of  valuation  models.  These  include 
discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable 
inputs. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant 
and  equipment  and  finite  life  intangible  assets.  The  useful  lives  could  change  significantly  as  a  result  of  technical 
innovations  or  some  other  event.  The  depreciation  and  amortisation  charge  will  increase  where  the  useful  lives  are  less 
than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be 
written off or written down. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill 
and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in 
note  2.  The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been  determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital 
and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The  Group  assesses  impairment  of  non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  and  other  indefinite  life  intangible  assets  at 
each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. 
If  an  impairment  trigger  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  determined.  This  involves  fair  value  less  costs  of 
disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. 

Income tax 
The  Group  is  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement  is  required  in 
determining  the  provision  for  income  tax.  There  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  undertaken  during  the  ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax 
audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is 
different  from  the  carrying  amounts,  such  differences  will  impact  the  current  and  deferred  tax  provisions  in  the  period  in 
which such determination is made. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  only  if  the  Group  considers  it  is  probable  that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Business combinations 
As discussed in note 2, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets 
acquired,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  are  initially  estimated  by  the  Group  taking  into  consideration  all 
available  information  at  the  reporting  date.  Fair  value  adjustments  on  the  finalisation  of  the  business  combination 
accounting  is  retrospective,  where  applicable,  to  the  period  the  combination  occurred  and  may  have  an  impact  on  the 
assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported. 

Note 4. Operating segments 

The  Group  operates  within  one  operating  segment  only  -  Medical  Equipment.  The  Medical  Equipment  segment  supplies 
durable  medical  equipment  and  consumable  medical  product  to  hospitals,  medical  centres  and  aged  care  facilities  in 
Australia predominantly. The Group does not have any other reporting segments.

Write back of earn-out 
In June  2019, the conditional payments on the earn  outs for Labgear Pty Ltd were finalised with the respective vendors. 
The  amounts  agreed  to  be  paid  to  the  respective  vendors  was  different  to  the  contingent  consideration  estimated  in  the 
final acquisition accounting. Labgear Pty Ltd has no final earn-out due. The impact was a reduction of the vendor earn-out 
payable, resulting in a write back of $1,162,777. 

In  June  2018,  the  conditional  payments  on  the  earn  outs  for  Midas  Software  Solutions  and  Electro  Medical  Group  were 
finalised  with  the  respective  vendors.  The  amounts  agreed  to  be  paid  to  the  respective  vendors  was  different  to  the

and Midas Software Solutions has no final earn-out due. Total final earn-out payables due of the two entities is $695,669. 
The impact was a reduction of the vendor earn-out payable, resulting in a write back of $4,072,517.

During the year the Group implemented accounting for leases under AASB 16. The impact of adopting this standard is set 
out in note 2. 

The Group leases land and buildings for its offices under agreements of between one to eight years with, in some cases, 
options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated.

Note 19. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued) 

Impairment testing 
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. 

In testing whether goodwill is impaired, it is to be allocated to each cash generating unit ('CGU'). In identifying the groups of 
assets that constitute a CGU, it is the smallest group that generates largely independent cash inflows and cannot be larger 
than the Group’s reportable operating segments before aggregation. 

Under AASB 136, paragraph 68, an asset’s cash-generating unit is the smallest group of assets that includes the asset and 
generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets (or groups of assets). The Group 
views  that  its  past  business  combinations  giving  rise  to  Goodwill  on  acquisition  relate  to  synergistic  opportunities  for  its 
medical  equipment  operating  and  reportable  segment.  Therefore,  it  has  been  determined  that  the  Group  has  one  CGU 
which also has a common management structure. 

Based  on  the  discounted  cash  projections,  the  Company  has  anticipated  positive  operating  cash  flows  generating  a  net 
present value greater than the current book value as at 30 June 2019. 

Key assumptions used for the discounted cash flow projection: 

Revenue growth rate 
Pre-tax discount rate 
Terminal growth rate 

Rate 
% 

5.0%  
11.6%  
2.0%  

Sensitivity 
As disclosed in note 3, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. 

Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities 
are as follows: 
● 

 revenue  would  need  to  decrease  by  more  than  1%  before  goodwill  would  need  to  be  impaired,  with  all  other 
assumptions remaining constant. 

Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill 
is based would not cause the cash-generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. 

If there are any negative changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill is based, this would 
result in a further impairment charge for goodwill.

Assets pledged as security 
The bank has a first registered company charge over all assets and undertakings including uncalled capital of the Group. 

The  lease  liabilities  are  effectively  secured  as  the  rights  to  the  leased  assets,  recognised  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position, revert to the lessor in the event of default. 

The Company has entered into a trade finance facility agreement with National Australia 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  National  Australia  Bank  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.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 28. Equity - issued capital (continued) 

Capital risk management 
The  Group's  objectives  when  managing  capital  is  to  safeguard  its  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  so  that  it  can 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce 
the cost of capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  Group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to  shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding 
relative to the current Company's share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not actively pursuing additional 
investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies. 

The  Group  is  subject  to  certain  financing  arrangements  covenants  and  meeting  these  is  given  priority  in  all  capital  risk 
management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year. 

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 Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net 
debt is calculated as 'borrowings' as shown in the statement of financial position less 'cash and cash equivalents' as shown 
in  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Total  capital  is  calculated  as  'total  equity'  as  shown  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position (including non-controlling interest) plus net debt. 

The gearing ratio at the reporting date was as follows: 

Current liabilities - borrowings (note 21) 
Non-current liabilities - borrowings (note 25) 
Total borrowings 
Current assets - cash and cash equivalents (note 10) 
Net debt 
Total equity 
Total capital

Financial risk management objectives 
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign 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.  The  Group  uses 
derivative  financial  instruments  such  as  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  to  hedge  certain  risk  exposures.  Derivatives 
are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments.

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 31. Financial instruments (continued) 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors 
('the  Board').  These  policies  include  identification  and  analysis  of  the  risk  exposure  of  the  Group  and  appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating 
units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
The  Group  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currency  and  is  exposed  to  foreign  currency  risk 
through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial  transactions and recognised financial assets and financial  liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting. 

In  order  to  protect  against  exchange  rate  movements,  the  Group  has  entered  into  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts. 
These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted cash flows for the ensuing financial year. Management has a risk 
management policy to hedge between 40% and 100% of anticipated foreign currency transactions 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: 

Forward exchange contracts

Interest rate risk 
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt obligations with 
the floating interest rate. The Company’s policy is not to actively manage interest cost. At 30 June 2019, $9,371,034 (2018: 
$9,859,215) of the Group’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)

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 31. Financial instruments (continued) 

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. 

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 
Unused borrowing facilities at the reporting date: 

Bank loans

Level  1:  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities  that  the  entity  can  access  at  the 
measurement date 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
or indirectly

Note 32. Fair value measurement (continued) 

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market 
interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. 

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 
Derivative financial instruments have been valued using quoted market rates. This valuation technique maximises the use 
of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

Note 38. Business combinations 

2019 

Lovell Surgical Pty Ltd 
On 5 July 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the shares in Lovell Surgical Pty Ltd. 

Total Communications Pty Ltd 
On 21 November 2018 the Company acquired 100% of the shares in Total Communication Pty Ltd. Total Communication 
is a  unique acquisition  providing  an  integrated vendor management and support solution to the  aged care sector. These 
products cover Telephony, Nurse Calls, Access Control, CCTV, Cordless and Healthcare Wi-Fi requirements. As per the 
sale  agreement,  the  vendors  are  entitled  to  an  earnout  of  3  times  the  EBITDA  growth  on  forecasted  FY20.  Whilst  this 
payment is uncapped, it’s unlikely to go beyond the anticipated range of $1.80 million and $2.85 million. 

Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group 
AASB  3  'Business  Combinations'  requires  disclosure  of  revenue  and  profit  and  loss  of  the  acquired  entity  from  date  of 
acquisition,  and  disclosure  of  revenue  and  profit  and  loss  of  the  Group  for  the  current  reporting  period  as  though  the 
acquisition  date  for  all  business  combinations  had  been  as  of  1  July  2018.  Management  has  determined  that  this  is 
impracticable  after  consideration  of  all  relevant  factors  in  accordance  with  AASB  108  'Accounting  Policies,  Changes  in 
Accounting Estimates and Errors'.

2018 

REM Systems 
On  8  June  2018  the  Company  acquired  100%  of  the  shares  in  REM  Systems  Limited  a  medical  distribution  company 
based in New Zealand. It is the leading supplier of medical and surgical products/consumables to hospitals and specialists 
in  Australasia.  Paragon  now  has  a  platform  for  a  direct  to  market  strategy  for  the  New  Zealand  health  and  aged  care 
sectors. Paragon has inherited a highly skilled and experienced management team. 

As  the  acquisition  of  REM  Systems  Limited  occurred  on  8  June  2018  the  revenue  and  profit  of  the  Group  for  the  year 
ended 30 June 2018 reflects trading for 8 June to 30 June 2018 of the acquired business. 

The vendors are entitled to a payment of 4.5 times the EBITDA growth from 2017 in  2019 and  2020. The  payments are 
calculated on the 12 months trading to 31 March 2020 and 2021. Any payment made in respect of FY20 is deducted from 
any amount  payable in FY21. The  payment  is uncapped. The contingent consideration was  estimated by calculating the

Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2019 

Note 40. Deed of cross guarantee 

The Company and its controlled entities, as listed in note 20 'Interests in subsidiaries', are party to a deed of cross 
guarantee under which each company guarantees the debts of the others. 

By  entering  into  the  deed,  the  wholly-owned  entities  have  been  relieved  from  the  requirement  to  prepare  financial 
statements  and  directors'  report  under  Corporations  Instrument  2016/785  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission. 

The  above  companies  represent  a  'Closed  Group'  for  the  purposes  of  the  Corporations  Instrument,  and  as  there  are  no 
other parties to the deed of cross guarantee that are controlled by Paragon Care Limited, they also represent the 'Extended 
Closed Group'. 

The statement of profit  or loss and other comprehensive income and statement  of financial  position  are substantially the 
same as the Group and therefore have not been separately disclosed. 

Note 41. Cash flow information

Employee Incentive Plan ('EIP') 
During  the  year,  shareholders  approved  the  Paragon  Care  Employee  Incentive  Plan  ('EIP')  at  the  2018  Annual  General 
Meeting ('AGM'). 

The EIP is an employee equity plan developed to meet contemporary equity design standards and to provide the greatest 
possible flexibility in the design and offer choices available in respect of various new equity schemes. 

The  EIP  enables  the  Company  to  offer  employees  a  range  of  different  employee  share  scheme  ('ESS')  interests.  These 
ESS interests of 'awards' include options, performance rights, service rights, deferred shares, exempt shares, cash rights 
and stock appreciation rights. 

The type of ESS interest that may be offered to employees will be determined by a number of factors, including: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 the remuneration or incentive purpose of the award; 
 the tax jurisdiction that the participating employee lives and/or works in; 
 the laws governing equity incentives where the participating employee lives and/or works; and 
 the logistics and compliance costs associated with offering quality incentives where the participating employee lives 
and/or works. 

Performance rights 

Vesting conditions and important dates 
The vesting conditions for performance rights granted on 14 December 2018 will depend on meeting the following: 
● 
● 

 Service up to 31 August 2021; and 
 If Paragon Care Limited achieves a compound annual growth rate ('CAGR') in earnings per share ('EPS') of between 
10% (50% vests) and 15% (100% vests) per annum above the base year (financial year ended 30 June 2018), EPS of 
5.4 cents per share over the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021. Straight line interpolation will apply between 10% 
and 15%.

Any  dealing  in  shares  is  subject  to  the  constraints  of  Australian  insider  trading  laws  and  the  Company's  share  trading 
policy.  Participants  are  specifically  prohibited  from  hedging  their  Company  share  price  exposure  in  respect  of  their 
performance rights during the vesting period. 

If, in  the  Board's opinion,  an employee  acts fraudulently or dishonestly or  is in  breach of  their material  obligations to the 
Company, the Board may determine that any or all of their performance rights which have not yet vested, lapse.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF PARAGON CARE LIMITED 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Paragon Care Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 
“the Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, 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 statements, 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 2019 and of its financial performance for the 

year then ended; 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  auditor  independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical 
requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board's  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical 
responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors 
of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report. 

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

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.  

71 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Key Audit Matters (Continued.) 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Accounting for Business Combinations 
Refer to Note 38 in the financial statements 

During the year, the Group completed two acquisitions and has 
finalised the acquisition accounting for nine acquisitions effected 
in  the  financial  year  2018  as  described  in  Note  38  of  the 
consolidated  financial  statements.  The  Group  has  determined 
these  acquisitions  to  be  business  combinations  for  which  the 
purchase price includes contingent consideration.   

For the acquisitions effected in the current year, the purchase 
price  is  allocated  between  acquired  assets  and  liabilities 
(including  identified  intangible  assets),  at  their  respective  fair 
values and goodwill of $29.3 million.   

This  was  considered  a  key audit matter  as  the accounting for 
the transactions is complex and involves significant judgements 
in applying the relevant accounting standards.  This includes the 
recognition  and  valuation  of  consideration  paid,  including 
contingent  consideration,  the  identification  and  valuation  of 
intangible assets, and the determination of the fair value of the 
tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  

Impairment of Goodwill on acquisition 
Refer to Note 19 in the financial statements 

The  Group  has  goodwill  of  $196.2  million  relating  to  its 
numerous acquisitions in recent years. 

This was considered a Key Audit Matter due to the materiality of 
the goodwill balance, and because the directors’ assessment of 
the ‘value in use’ of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) involves 
judgements  about  the  future  underlying  cash  flows  of  the 
business and the discount rates applied to it. 

For the year ended 30 June 2019, management has performed 
an impairment assessment over the goodwill balance by: 

• 

calculating the value in use for the CGU using a discounted 
cash  flow  model.  This  model  used  cash  flows  (revenues, 
expenses and capital expenditure) for the CGU for 5 years, 
with a terminal growth rate applied to the 5th year. The cash 
flows were then discounted to net present value using the 
Company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC); and 

72 

Our  procedures  to  assess  the  accounting  treatment  of  the 
acquisitions included: 

•  Obtaining the securities and business purchase agreements 
and  other  associated  documents  and  ensuring  that  the 
transactions  had  been  accounted  for  in  accordance  with 
AASB 3 Business Combinations. 

• 

Testing  the  initial  consideration  to  the  signed  purchase 
agreements and to bank statements; 

•  Assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the  fair  values of  the  net 
assets  acquired  in  the  current  year  having  regard  to  the 
completeness  of  assets  and  liabilities  identified,  and  the 
reasonableness  of  any  underlying  assumptions  in  their 
respective valuations, including useful lives of the intangible 
and tangible assets acquired; 

•  Evaluating  the  contingent  consideration  included  in  the 
purchase  price  including  assessing  the  forecasts  used  for 
determining  contingent  consideration 
for  current  year 
acquisitions; 

•  Evaluating  the  contingent  consideration  included  in  the 
purchase price for prior year acquisitions to determine a final 
adjustment within the measurement period; and 

•  Assessing  the  disclosures  in  Note  38  to  the  financial 
statements in order to assess compliance with the disclosure 
requirements of AASB 3. 

Our  audit  procedures  in  relation  to  management’s  impairment 
assessment  involved  the  assistance  of  our  Corporate  Finance 
team where required, and included: 

•  Assessing  management’s  determination  that  the  goodwill 
should be allocated to a single CGU based on the nature of 
the  Group’s  business  and  the  manner  in  which  results  are 
monitored and reported; 

•  Assessing the valuation methodology used; 

•  Challenging 

the 

reasonableness  of  key  assumptions, 
including the cash flow projections, exchange rates, discount 
rates, and sensitivities used;  

•  Checking the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow model, 
and  reconciling  input  data  to  supporting  evidence,  such  as 
approved  budgets  and  considering  the  reasonableness  of 
these budgets; and 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Key Audit Matters (Continued.) 

Key Audit Matter 
Impairment of Goodwill on acquisition 
Refer to Note 19 in the financial statements 

• 

comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU to their 
respective book values. 

Management  also  performed  a  sensitivity  analysis  over  the 
value  in  use  calculations,  by  varying  the  assumptions  used 
(growth  rates,  terminal  growth  rate  and WACC)  to  assess  the 
impact on the valuations. 

Discontinued Operations 
Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements 

The Company has completed the divestment of the Capital and 
Consumable Operations on 30 June 2019, as part of the Group-
wide transformation program.  

AASB  5  Non-current  Assets  Held  for  Sale  and  Discontinued 
Operations  requires  specific  recognition,  measurement  and 
disclosure requirements relating to assets, liabilities, revenues 
and expenses of discontinued operations. 

This  was  identified  as  a  Key  Audit  Matter  as  this  transaction 
in 
involves  management  estimates  and 
identification  of  account  balances,  revenue  and  expenses 
relating  to  the  discontinued  operations  and  related  Note 
disclosures in the financial statements. 

judgements 

Inventory Valuation (including provision for obsolescence) 
Refer to Note 12 in the financial statements 

The  Group’s  inventory  balance,  as  disclosed  in  Note  12, 
consists  primarily  of 
finished  goods  of  various  medical 
equipment held for distribution. 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. 
The assessment of the net realisable value of inventory requires 
a  significant  degree  of  management  judgment.  It  includes 
assumptions concerning the provision for obsolescence, as well 
as future market conditions based on changing customer needs 
and market trends. 

On  the  basis  of  the  factors  set  out  above,  the  valuation  of 
inventory was considered to be a Key Audit Matter. 

How our audit addressed this matter 

•  Assessing  the  disclosures  in  Note  19  to  the  financial 
statements in order to assess compliance with the disclosure 
requirements of AASB136 and AASB138. 

Our audit procedures in relation to accounting and disclosure of 
Discontinued Operations included: 

•  Obtaining and reviewing the sale agreements to understand 

the key terms and conditions;  

•  Assessing  the  calculations  and  accounting  for  the  sale  of 
businesses  to  ensure  assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and 
expenses  relating 
the  discontinued  operations  are 
accurately identified and reported;  

to 

•  Assessing management’s determination of the impairment of 

goodwill relating to the discontinued operations; and  

•  Assessing accounting policy, account balance classifications 
and Note disclosures to ensure that they are in accordance 
with the requirements of AASB 5.  

Our audit procedures in relation to the existence and valuation of 
inventory included: 

•  Evaluating management assumptions and estimates applied 
to  the  provision  for  obsolescence  through  analysis  of 
inventory  ageing  and  historical  sales  levels  by  inventory 
product  from  the  date  the  product  was  purchased  in 
conjunction with assessing the quantity of products held; 

•  Assessing  the  company’s  application  of  its  policy  for 

determining the provision for obsolescence; 

•  Performing  analytical  procedures  in  respect  of  inventory 

holdings and inventory turnover; and 

• 

Testing  the  sales  prices of  inventory  to  ensure  inventory  is 
not being sold at less than cost.

Key Audit Matters (Continued.) 

Key Audit Matter 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Recognition of Revenue 
Refer to Note 5 in the financial statements 

The  Group’s  revenue  from  continuing  operations  for  the  year 
ended 30 June 2019 was $236.1 Million.  

Whilst  Revenue  recognition  does  not 
involve  significant 
management  estimates  or judgements, it  is  considered  a  Key 
Audit Matter because of its significance to the Group’s reported 
financial performance.  

The risk is heightened due to having distinct product lines within 
the  medical  equipment  business  (diagnostics,  capital  and 
technology)  across 
consumables,  devices,  services  and 
different accounting systems. 

Revenue  recognition can be impacted by a failure to correctly 
measure  revenue  in  accordance  with  applicable  accounting 
standards  and/or  by  applying  an  incorrect  approach  to  period 
end cut-off. 

Other Information  

Our audit procedures in relation to revenue recognition included:  

•  Assessing whether the Group’s revenue recognition policies 
were  in  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  AASB  15 
Revenues from Contracts with Customers;  

•  Evaluating  and 

testing 

the  operating  effectiveness  of 

management’s controls related to revenue recognition;  

•  Reviewing any large or unusual transactions close to the end 

of the financial year;  

•  Conducting  a  combination  of  tests  of  controls,  substantive 
analytical  procedures  and  tests  of  details  in  respect  of 
revenue related transactions; and  

•  Reviewing  disclosures  in  relation  to  impact  on  adoption  of 
AASB 15 and the disaggregation of revenues in the financial 
statements.  

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's 
annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, 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  accordingly  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 have 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.
