Principal Activities
Operating Results
Financial Position
The principal continuing activities constituted by PharmAust Limited and the entities it controlled during the year were to develop its
own drug discovery intellectual property for the treatment of different types of cancers in humans and animals, as well as providing
highly specialised medicinal and synthetic chemistry services on a contract basis to clients.
The results of the consolidated entity for the year ended 30 June 2017 was a loss, after income tax expense, of $1,343,614 (2016: loss of
$3,927,256).
The net assets of the consolidated entity were $6,915,047 as at 30 June 2017 (2016: $5,023,261).
Review of Operations
PITNEY PHARMACEUTICALS PTY LIMITED – 100% OWNED SUBSIDIARY
Phase II Canine Clinical Trial
PharmAust reported that following the signing of a Materials Transfer Agreement with the University of Cambridge, Department of
Veterinary Sciences, Dr Jane Dobson will oversee and evaluate the role of monepantel as a treatment for canine cancers.
The Phase II trial will be undertaken in canines which have failed standard of care and follows on from the Phase I trial undertaken
in Sydney, Australia by Dr Angela Frimberger. The Phase I trial showed excellent safety with suppression of tumour markers and the
Phase II will build on these successful earlier results.
PharmAust has a Research and Option Agreement with Novartis Animal Health and, as such, the outcome of this study will be
important in understanding the commercial potential of MPL in veterinary cancer therapy.
Since receiving agreement from the University of Cambridge to begin canine cancer trials, PharmAust has continued to recruit
canines to evaluate the anticancer activities of MPL. The current phase II study is exploratory and is intended to provide an
indication of either tumour regression or progression-free survival in a small number of dogs in order to facilitate further phase II
work. Successful demonstration of these parameters not only confirms the value of MPL in veterinary cancers but also underpins
the potential use of the drug in man.
PharmAust was delighted to announce preliminary results from our Phase II pilot trial being undertaken in dogs diagnosed with
lymphoma, where MPL is being used as a front-line therapy. Preliminary analysis showed 3 of 4 (75%) dogs achieved stable disease
and tumour reduction when dosed daily with MPL over the designated 2 week trial period. Given that dogs would typically show
progressive disease over this time, we believe these data provide strong evidence for MPL clinical efficacy.
When considered alongside results from previous Phase I/II MPL clinical trials undertaken in dogs, the company believes it has now
achieved all key clinical endpoints relating to safety and efficacy. To our knowledge, this is also the first report of an mTOR inhibitor,
such as MPL, showing clinical activity against lymphoma in dogs. As lymphoma is one of the more common types of cancer
diagnosed in dogs, this outcome has positive implications for our ability to impact the veterinary oncology market, particularly
when one considers the very low toxicity of MPL.
A successful outcome to the Phase II pilot trial will also meet one of the key requirements to progress discussions with Novartis Animal
Health/Elanco regarding the Option Agreement.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities
DIRECTORS' REPORT (Cont.)
New Executive Appointments
In March 2017, PharmAust was delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Richard Hopkins as Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
and Dr Richard Mollard as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO)
Dr Hopkins is an experienced pharmaceutical executive with over 10 years of experience in corporate leadership roles.
He has a strong background in corporate strategy, business development and intellectual property specialising in early-
stage cancer drug development.
Dr Mollard is an experienced pharmaceutical executive with over 15 years of experience in lead scientific roles in the
Australian and International Biotechnology sectors. Dr Mollard has been a consultant to PharmAust for the past 2 years
where he has played a key role in preparation, design and submission of regulatory and clinical documents for
PharmAust’s human and canine trials.
PharmAust secures core patent in China & Japan
During the year PharmAust announced the grant of core patents in China and Japan. The patents entitled “Kinase Inhibitors for
the Treatment of Cancer”, claim the use of aminoacetonitrile derivatives as potent kinase inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.
‘Aminoacetonitrile derivatives’ include the Novartis Animal Health/Elanco compound MPL, which PharmAust has patented for
cancer applications and is being evaluated in clinical trials.
Dr Richard Hopkins, PharmAust’s CEO commented, “We are delighted with the allowance of this “Method of Use” patent that
further extends PharmAust’s core intellectual property in these key markets. We have now secured granted patents for this family
in Australia, China, the US and Japan, providing us with strong strategic protection for this class of molecule.”
PharmAust secures broad European patent for non-cancer applications
During the year PharmAust announced the grant of a new patent in Europe covering the use of its lead drug for non-cancer
applications including neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and age-related disorders. The patent (EP2880014) entitled
“Compounds For The Treatment Of mTOR Pathway Related Diseases”, relates to the use of aminoacetonitrile derivatives (AADs) for
the treatment of mTOR pathway-related diseases and provides the company with protection for this IP until 2033.
‘Aminoacetonitrile derivatives’ include the Novartis animal health compound MPL.
PharmAust CEO Dr Richard Hopkins commented, “We are delighted with the grant of this Method of Use patent for non-cancer
applications of MPL in Europe. This patent provides coverage for our intellectual property in a major market that expands our
commercial opportunities.”
“PharmAust has shown that MPL acts via the mTOR pathway, which is increasingly recognised as playing a major role in non-cancer
indications such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and age-related disorders. The company is assessing potential
applications of MPL in these fields along with its core focus on developing MPL as a cancer therapy.”
Decision to Postpone Nasdaq Listing
PharmAust took the strategic decision to postpone its Nasdaq listing. PharmAust considered that it had sufficient funds to achieve
several key technical and commercial milestones including reformulation of MPL into a solid powder and progression of its currently
approved canine trial. If successful, these outcomes will provide better traction in PharmAust’s capital value and enable the
company to explore the Novartis Animal Health position in regard to their “Collaborative Research and Option Agreement”. The
postponement in pursuing a Nasdaq listing will also allow the Board and the new management team time to prepare the
foundations for the next stage.
Accordingly, PharmAust has agreed with its New York-based investment bank, Joseph Gunnar & Co LLC, to delay the Registered
Public Offering in the USA.
Dr Roger Aston, PharmAust’s Executive Chairman, said: “Terminating the current engagement with Joseph Gunnar will allow us to
further strengthen the company’s value proposition before re-considering a listing on the Nasdaq in 2018”.
Rights Issue
During the year, PharmAust successfully raised $3.24m under a Rights Issue on the basis of 1 new share for every 1 share held at an
issue price of 5 cents per share together with 1 free option for every 3 new shares subscribed for under the Prospectus. The options
have an exercise price of 12 cents and an expiry date of 30 November 2019. PharmAust’s new CEO, Dr Richard Hopkins, took-up
$50,000 of the shortfall, investing alongside each of the other Directors who took up their full Entitlement (together totalling
$490,326).
PharmAust Receives $406K R&D Rebate from ATO
On 30 January 2017, PharmAust announced that it has received $406,237 from the Australian Taxation Office in recognition of the
innovation of the Research and Development being developed by wholly owned subsidiaries, Epichem and Pitney
Pharmaceuticals.

During the period, PharmAust announced that it had appointed Canadian-based BRI Pharmaceutical Research Inc to reformulate
monepantel (MPL) for its clinical trial studies. BRI will evaluate a range of well validated platforms to determine the optimal
formulation for oral delivery of MPL. This work will build-on initial efforts from Juniper who reformulated liquid MPL in the form of
Zolvix into capsules. These capsules are now being used in an ongoing phase II clinical trial to treat dogs diagnosed with lymphoma.
Encouraging preliminary data have recently been recorded from these trials. However, it has also become apparent the current
capsule formulation is not suitable for more advanced clinical trials due to the low dosing of monepantel as Zolvix, even when
encapsulated. Further, and although improved, palatability of the product remains suboptimal.
To address these issues, we have selected BRI to prepare a fully optimised MPL formulation that meets the exacting requirements
for scaled manufacture, late-stage clinical trials and ultimately registration. BRI will address the taste issues associated with Zolvix,
and increase the amount of MPL contained in each tablet or capsule to facilitate higher dosing.
EPICHEM PTY LTD - 100% OWNED SUBSIDIARY
Epichem has been delivering synthetic and medicinal chemistry services to the drug discovery and pharmaceutical industries
worldwide since 2003. Epichem offers a range of rare and hard to find pharmaceutical impurities, degradants and metabolites of
active ingredients and excipients, particularly for OTC and generic drugs.
Epichem has been at the forefront of synthesizing new and difficult to obtain standards and many of these are exclusive to Epichem
and not available elsewhere. This range is continually expanding in response to customer requests and developments in the
industry. Epichem is globally competitive with clients in 32 countries and is rapidly expanding its reach.
Epichem also excels in custom synthesis and contract drug discovery, boasting a highly skilled team of scientists, most with a PhD
and industry experience. This valuable investment in people allows Epichem to lead drug discovery programs, perform custom
synthesis, conduct optimisation and method development for scale-up and engage in high-level problem solving.
Epichem has a long history of helping pharmaceutical companies identify trace impurities and has produced a range of
pharmaceutical reference standards to aid the industry in detecting and measuring these impurities, ultimately assisting in the
quality assurance and control of its clients’ medicines.
Epichem's expert team of medicinal chemists is also supporting PharmAust's oncology programmes and has made a number of
novel analogues of MPL. While still at the early pre-clinical research stage, if successful, this research could ultimately lead to a new
drug with improved properties which is wholly owned by PharmAust.
Epichem continued to promote its products and services both within Australia and overseas with staff attending a number of
conferences and tradeshows including AusBiotech in Melbourne and a Tropical Medicine Conference in Brisbane. Most notably,
Epichem attended CPhI WorldWide in Barcelona, Spain, which is the world's premier trade show for the pharmaceutical industry
attended by 36,000 delegates. Feedback from CPhI was excellent with a number of new customers and prospects resulting.
Epichem Reports Record $3m Revenues and Expands Laboratory to Accelerate Growth
Epichem has generated a record $3.05m in revenues for the 2017 financial year, a 30 per cent increase over the previous year
(subject to final audit sign-off). Epichem is targeting $4m in revenues for the 2018 financial year.
Growth occurred in all of Epichem’s business divisions. These included Epichem’s Drug Discovery Services arm, which benefitted
from a significant new customer based in the USA. Growth in Epichem’s Fine Chemicals & Technical Services business, which
includes the company’s catalogue of pharmaceutical reference standards, was assisted by Epichem’s certification to the ISO9001
Quality Management System in 2016.
Epichem’s Managing Director, Dr Wayne Best, said: “Our existing laboratories, which were expanded in 2015, are now running at
full capacity. The new laboratories are needed to meet current and forecast demand.” Dr Best added:“the time could not be
better for a further expansion. The lower Australian dollar and the ongoing improvements to our quality accreditation levels are
expected to continue driving significant revenue growth for the company and shareholders”.
Quality Accreditation
Epichem Pty Ltd was certified to the international standard for quality ISO 9001:2015 on 14 September 2016. This certification covers
Epichem's Quality Management System (QMS) for the synthesis and distribution of fine chemicals, reference standards, technical
services and provision of contract research and consulting.
The certification, conducted by the accreditation body ECAAS, elevates Epichem to a select group of companies who have
demonstrated a commitment to quality at the highest level. The QMS ensures that robust procedures and practices are in place
for all aspects of Epichem's operations and is the basis for reliably providing customers with products and services of consistently
high quality.
Epichem's Managing Director, Dr Wayne Best, said “We are delighted to have been recognised by certification to ISO 9001:2015.
It is a reflection of our commitment to quality, continuous improvement and customer focus.” Dr Best added “Many of Epichem's
clients operate in the highly regulated pharmaceutical sector and our certification will be seen as a significant development in our
relationship with them.”

Non-audit Services
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or 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 any part of these proceedings.
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are

Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 28 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.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities
DIRECTORS' REPORT (Cont.)
Remuneration Report (Audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the key management personnel (KMP) remuneration arrangements for
the consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of PharmAust Limited.
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration of directors and executives of PharmAust Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based
on key performance areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The Board of PharmAust Limited believes the remuneration policy
to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company,
as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation whilst
some executives receive fringe benefits. The Board reviews executive packages periodically by reference to the Company’s
performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar
industries.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed regularly with each executive and is based on factors including
the forecast growth of profits and shareholders’ value.
The remuneration is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term
growth in shareholder wealth. The goal of the remuneration structures it to align the remuneration packages of the executives with
the Company’s performance and specifically the Company’s earnings and the consequences of the Company’s performance on
shareholder wealth including dividends, returns of capital and capital appreciation.
The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government and do not
receive any other retirement benefits. Individuals, however, have the option to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments
towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Any shares given to directors
and executives will be valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or
executive. Any options granted will be valued by an independent expert using the Black-Scholes, Binomial or any other methodologies
that the independent expert deems appropriate.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The Board (excluding the relevant director) determines payments to the directors and reviews their remuneration
regularly, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum
aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
PHARMAUST LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of PharmAust Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of
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 2017 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

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.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Impairment of intangible non-current asset
Refer to Note 8 in the financial statements
Intangible assets are stated at $3,107,476 as at 30
June 2017 and comprise the intellectual property
rights for the monepantel (MPL) oncology platform.
The MPL asset is not yet available for use and is,
therefore, subject to an annual impairment review by
management
the asset’s
to assess whether
recoverable amount is greater than its carrying
amount.
Management’s assessment involved:
• Reviewing the key assumptions for the MPL
value in use calculation, which was prepared in
the previous
to determine
financial year,
whether there were any significant changes
during the current financial year; and
• Evaluating whether any events have occurred to
indicate the MPL asset’s recoverable amount
may be less than its carrying amount.
Management’s assessment is subject to estimation
uncertainty and requires significant management
judgement. We determined this to be a key audit
matter due the risk that the outcome of the
impairment assessment could vary significantly if
different assumptions are applied.
Our audit procedures,
impairment assessment of the MPL asset, included:
in relation
to management’s
• Assessing whether there are any indicators of
impairment of the MPL asset, including enquiring
with management on the current and planned
commercialisation activities;
•
Involving our financial modelling specialists to check
the mathematical accuracy of the value in use
model, including the appropriateness of the discount
rate used;
• Assessing the reasonableness of management’s
assumptions included in the value in use model and
whether there are any indicators that would require
the re-estimation of the asset’s recoverable amount;
and
• Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures in Note
8.

Key audit matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Revenue recognition
Refer to Note 2 in the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2017 the Group has
recognised sales revenue of $2,854,176. We
determined revenue recognition be a key audit
matter due to the following:
• The balance is significant to the Group and there
are risks associated with management override,
completeness and accuracy of sales and the
timing of revenue recognition for sales occurring
on or around year end; and
• Sales generated
from
the pharmaceutical
segment are comprised of revenue streams with
varying contract terms and pricing elements,
which may result in minor errors that could, in
aggregate, have a material impact on the
financial statements.
l
y
n
o
e
s
u
l
Our audit procedures in relation to the Group’s revenue
recognition included:
• On a sample basis, we agreed the revenue amounts
to various supporting documentation including a
combination of approved contracts, price lists and
proof of delivery documents to assess that the
Australian Accounting Standards revenue recognition
criteria were met for recognised sales;
• For a sample of revenue received in advance,
recalculation of the allocation between revenue and
current liabilities;
• Reviewing sale transactions occurring near the
reporting date to ensure that revenue had been
recognised in the correct period;
• Performing
testing on
identify any
management override of internal controls related to
revenue recognition; and
journals

• Assessing the adequacy of the net sales disclosures
contained in Note 23 segment reporting.

Other information
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 2017, 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board website at: www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description
forms part of our auditor's report.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2017
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities (the
“consolidated entity” or “group”).
The separate financial statements of the parent entity, PharmAust Limited, have not been presented within this financial report
as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed within this financial
statements.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes
under Australian Accounting Standards.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has
concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and
conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply
with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on
historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets
and financial liabilities.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 31 August 2017 by the Directors of the Company.

(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of PharmAust Limited as at 30
June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. PharmAust Limited Limited and its subsidiaries together
are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity
when the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control
ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity.
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.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity.
Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit
balance.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and
non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The
consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.

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.
The parent and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax
consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own
current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach
in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets)
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax
consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts
receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the
intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither
a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
(c) Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated
recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and
impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a
revalued asset.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable
amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be
received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to
their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period
in which they are incurred.

The depreciable amount of all plant and is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated
entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Plant and equipment
Depreciation Rate
2.5-33%
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
consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.
(d) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks
and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains
substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower,
the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the
lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the
end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease.
(e) Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale
of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at
fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition
less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference
between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to
determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments
and option pricing models.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is
equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other
premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the
financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential
recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the
requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
(i)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised
in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.
(ii)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose
of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to
avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets is
managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk
management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in
carrying amount being included in profit or loss.
(iii)
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised
cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial
liability is derecognised.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been
impaired. A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence
of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated
future cash flows of the financial asset(s).
In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is
considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative
decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.
In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of
debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications
that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that
correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to
reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of
recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the
written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced
directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.
When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the
Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not
been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to
another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated
with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the
fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the group’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars 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.
(g) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from
subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists,
an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount
over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in
accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and
Equipment). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other
Standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet
available for use.
(h) 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 as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up
to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to 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 corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the
estimated future cash outflows.
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 consolidated entity 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.

o
F
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past
event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made
of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to
settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The
increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(j) 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. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash
and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement
of financial position.
(k) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective
evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the
receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial
reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the
trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows
relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.
(l) Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade
discounts and volume rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred, it is treated as the provision of
financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The
difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks
and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.
(m) 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.
(n) 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 in transit 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
(o) 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.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of PharmAust 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.
(p) Earnings per share
(q) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets
are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Intangibles Assets
Intellectual property rights- three oncology technology platforms
Intellectual property rights are recognised at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.
For intellectual property rights not yet available for use, they are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired, and are carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are
capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits
and these benefits can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets have a finite useful life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits
over the useful life of the project following commercialisation of the assets.
(s) 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.
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.
(t) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.
(u) Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the
allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

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

o
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in 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 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.

(w) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity 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.
(x) 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.
The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement
of financial position, net of transaction costs.
On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an
equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost basis until
extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance
cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders
equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not
remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.
(y) New, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations adopted
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting
period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early
adopted.
(z) 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 consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the
consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity 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.
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.
(aa) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
e

u
l
a
n

r
o
F
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.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of
the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or
Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The
accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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.
Provision for impairment of receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision
is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and
specific knowledge of the individual debtor financial position.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity 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.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting
date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all
employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay
increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
Other finite life intangible assets not yet in use
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment,
whether other finite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated
in note 1. 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,
royalty rates and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.

As of 30 June 2017, trade receivables of $74,997 (2016:$ 33,742) were past due but not impaired. These relate to a number of
independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as

Based on the credit history of these other classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due. The Group
does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables.
5d Fair value and credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties
other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 5. The class of assets described as “trade

The group has assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the Intangible Asset based on a 15 year value in use
calculation using a discounted cash flow model for the monepantel (MPL) oncology platform. The calculation is based on
budgets approved by management, assuming commercialisation through a royalty revenue stream for both human and
animal patents. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include:
-
-
Royalty rate of 10% (2016: 10%);
Post-tax discount rate of 30% (2016: 30%);
The discount rate of 30% post-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the group’s weighted
average cost of capital.
As disclosed in Note 1, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of intangible
assets. The directors have determined that the discounted cash flow model which was first used in the 2016 financial year
to test impairment of the MPL intangible asset remains appropriate and there are no indicators which would require a re-
estimation of the assets recoverable amount as at 30 June 2017.

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk and foreign exchange
risk. Other minor risks are either summarised below or disclosed at Note 5 in the case of credit risk and Note 13 in the case of
capital risk management. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.
Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s exposure to the risks of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s short-term deposits with a
floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. All other
financial assets and liabilities in the form of receivables and payables are non-interest bearing. The Group does not engage
in any hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk.
The following tables set out the carrying amount by maturity of the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective
weighted average interest rate for each class of these financial instruments.
The Group has not entered into any hedging activities to cover interest rate risk. In regard to its interest rate risk, the Group
does not have a formal policy in place to mitigate such risks.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Cont.)
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2017 if interest rates had changed by 100 basis points during the entire year with all other variables held constant,
profit for the year and equity would have been $20,422 (2016:$ 2,173) lower/higher, mainly as a result of lower/higher interest
income from cash and cash equivalents.
Based on the sensitivity analysis only interest revenue from variable rate deposits and cash balances are impacted resulting
in a decrease or increase in overall income.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and marketable securities and through the continuous
monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows.

Net fair values
For assets and other liabilities the net fair value approximates their carrying value. The Group has no financial assets where
the carrying amount exceeds net fair values at reporting date.
The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement
of comprehensive income and in the notes to the financial statements.
Financial instruments at fair value
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified
using the fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value
hierarchy consists of the following levels:
-
- inputs other than quoted prices included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1);
prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

29 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 consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2017.
The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations,
most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all
previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces 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 solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets
are to be 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) in other comprehensive
income ('OCI'). For financial liabilities, 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 will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment
will be measured under 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. The standard introduces additional new
disclosures. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be
assessed by the consolidated entity.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET MANDATORY OR EARLY ADOPTED (cont’d)
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a
single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to
depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written,
verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine
the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to
the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service,
or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance
obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods,
the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the
performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to
customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress
to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with
customers will be 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. Sufficient
quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the
significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to
obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the
impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB
117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions,
a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the
unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12
months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an
accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to
profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease
prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal
or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for
the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (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 will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in
profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated
into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor
accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The consolidated entity will
adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.
As the entity holds leases as at 30 June 2017 the impact of the new Leases standard is that leased asset will be capitalised
in the statement of financial position, measured as the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be
made over the lease term and a liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for
lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration,
removal or dismantling costs.
