Review of Operations 

PITNEY PHARMACEUTICALS PTY LIMITED – 100% OWNED SUBSIDIARY

PharmAust Limited is primarily focused on cancer therapy in humans and canines. Pitney Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd owns a number 
of  patent  families  offering  protection  for  the  use  of  Monepantel  (MPL)  in  cancer  therapy  and  potentially  for  other  diseases 
governed by the mTOR pathway (mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin). The discovery of this possible mechanism of action for the 
lead  product  MPL  diversifies  the  potential  applications  of  this  molecule  for  diseases  of  the  central  nervous  system.  MPL  is  an 
approved anthelminthic drug distributed by global major Elanco Animal Health Inc, for the treatment of parasitic diseases in sheep. 
PharmAust  is  repurposing  MPL  for  the  treatment  of  cancer  in  both  veterinary  clinical  markets  and  in  the  treatment  of  human 
cancer.. The fact that MPL is already approved for use in animals in a number of major jurisdictions (EU/UK, Australia) means that 
the development process for PharmAust is simpler and cheaper than it would be if MPL were a new API (Active Pharmaceutical 
Ingredient). 

PharmAust has signed an agreement with UNSW-NSI, the commercial arm of the University of NSW to acquire all the rights to MPL 
in exchange for all of the rights to the “mucin” project. PharmAust believes that divesting the mucin IP to consolidate the MPL IP, 
places PharmAust in a strong position for licensing and co-development of MPL with partners.  

In order to further the development of its products and add value for shareholders, PharmAust has executed an Option to License 
Agreement with Elanco during 2018. The new Agreement between PharmAust and Elanco supersedes the Research and Option 
Agreement signed with Novartis Animal Health, which prevailed since 2012. In the period 2018-2019 financial year, PharmAust has 
worked closely with Elanco to prepare the ground for the undertaking of a key Phase II trial in canines with cancer. Successful 
completion of this trial is a key aspect of the Option Agreement with Elanco.  

Achievements during the financial year include: 

The receipt of 25 kg of GMP grade monepantel from Elanco Animal Health Inc in accordance with the Option Agreement, 
announced on the 18th of  April 2018 to support the clinical trial program and to support a series of Phase I studies on 
pharmacokinetics, safety and palatability of MPL, 

The execution by PharmAust of a Data and Regulatory Rights Agreement with Elanco US Inc to facilitate the development 
of  monepantel  as  an  anticancer  therapeutic  in  dogs.  Under  this  agreement,  Elanco  has  permitted  PharmAust  to 
reference certain Elanco controlled safety and blood chemistry data that were generated for the regulatory approval 
of monepantel in Australia, New Zealand and 27 countries within the European Union, as an anti-parasitic drug in livestock 
animals. Given that livestock animals are destined for human consumption, data and documentation generated for this 
purpose are required to be extremely comprehensive, adhering to a very high level of precision and detail.

3.

The  completion  of  preclinical  studies  to  reformulate  monepantel  (MPL)  into  a  tablet.  This  work  was  conducted  in 
collaboration with BRI Biopharmaceutical Research Inc., Vancouver, Canada. The new tablet will be taken into trials in 
canines with cancer and PharmAust expects this new tablet to also be taken into trials in humans with cancer as well as 
in neurological diseases, 

4.

The  completion  of  several  optimisation  steps  resulting  in  the  successful  scale  up  manufacture  of  PharmAust’s  new 
monepantel tablets to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.  

a.

b.

c.

d.

In  collaboration  with  BRI  Pharmaceutical  Research,  PharmAust  showed  that  micronisation  of  monepantel 
successfully meets the company’s minimal requirements for dosing and oral bioavailability, 
In collaboration with BRI Pharmaceutical Research and Catalent Pharma Solutions in San Diego, USA, PharmAust 
also  successfully  completed  its  monepantel  taste  masking  program in  healthy  beagle  dogs,  eradicating  the 
poor taste associated with the previous liquid formula, 
In  collaboration  with  BRI  Pharmaceutical  Research  and  Catalent  Pharma  Solutions  in  San  Diego,  USA., 
PharmAust demonstrated specific dietary requirements for optimal uptake of monepantel into the blood, 
In collaboration with Catalent San Diego Inc, USA, both GLP and GMP-grade monepantel tablets suitable for 
use in the upcoming trials in pet owner’s dogs with cancer were successfully manufactured to scale in sufficient 
numbers for both its Phase I and Phase II trials in dogs. Catalent is a #1 pharma/biotech contract provider in the 
US for scaled GMP tablet formulation in preparation for clinical trials. 

5.

6.

7.

The signing of an  Agreement  with a major US CRO  to conduct Phase I  Trials in healthy beagle dogs using the tablets 
manufactured  by  Catalent.  These  trials  enabled  determination  of  tablet  dosing  requirements  to  reach  anticipated 
anticancer levels of monepantel in the blood, as well as confirming the very high safety profile of monepantel at these 
levels. 

The completion of development of an independent prototype GMP method applicable for the scale up manufacture of 
the drug monepantel, as well as PharmAust’s library of monepantel analogues for use in clinical trials as next generation 
products. This work was conducted in collaboration with Syngene International Ltd 

The demonstration of anticancer activity of monepantel’s major metabolite monepantel sulfone against cancer types 
treated in PharmAust’s earlier Phase I/II clinical trial in humans. This work was conducted in collaboration with the Olivia 
Newton-John Cancer Research Institute where work on the mechanism of action of monepantel at the molecular level 
has continued. 

8.

The  successful  accreditation  of  PharmAust  as  an  Animal  Research  Authority  for  conducting  clinical  trials  in  dogs  with 
cancer. 

9. Commencement of the Phase II anti-cancer trial in dogs. The trial will formally determine activity in pet owners’ dogs with 

treatment naïve B cell lymphoma employing the new palatable and high dose tablet form of MPL. 

Research and Development Targets 2019-2020: 

1. To execute an agreement with Elanco Inc. which provides PharmAust with the freedom to evaluate and develop an anticancer 
product  based  on  MPL  for  the  treatment  of  human  cancers.  PharmAust  has  commenced  discussions  with  Elanco  as  regards 
permission to commercially develop a human cancer product based on MPL. It should be noted that Novartis/Elanco patents on 
MPL begin to expire in 2023, following such expiration, the PharmAust patents are expected have Freedom to Operate.  

2. To identify Clinical Centers prepared to evaluate the new MPL tablet in humans in Phase I/II trials, as a follow on from the Phase 
I  clinical  trial  undertaken  at  the  Royal  Adelaide  Hospital  in  2015.  Furthermore,  to  determine  the  pharmacokinetic  parameters, 
dietary enhancements and safety of the newly formulated tablet in humans in Phase I/II trials, 

3. To undertake a “First Line Therapy” clinical trial, mutually agreed upon with Elanco, in canines with a naturally occurring cancer 
to determine the safety and value of MPL as a cancer therapy. The outcome of this trial will be an important milestone in developing 
the future collaboration and Licence with Elanco. 

EPICHEM PTY LTD - 100% OWNED SUBSIDIARY 

Epichem, PharmAust’s wholly owned subsidiary, has continued to make strong progress towards key operational milestones as well 
as build the contract sales and income activities.   

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 39 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

PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities

DIRECTORS' REPORT (Cont.) 

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.  

During  the  year,  Epichem  gained  accreditation  from  NATA  (The  National  Association  of  Testing  Authorities,  Australia)  to 
ISO17034:2016.  Epichem  is  one  of  the  first  companies  in  Australia  to  achieve  this  internationally  regarded  standard  of  quality 
assurance  for  reference  material  production  to  support  pharmaceutical  drug  manufacturing.  Accreditation  by  NATA  is  highly 
regarded both locally and internationally and elevates Epichem’s status, global market access and competitiveness in a growing 
world market. 

Epichem’s laboratory expansion works are completed and deliver an additional six fumehoods. In conjunction with the expanded 
facilities and the additional accreditation, we expect to see accelerating Epichem revenues in FY20.  

On 8 November 2018, Epichem hosted the official opening of its laboratory expansion, following the earlier move to its new facility 
in September 2015. It is was an honour to have the Hon. Ben Wyatt MLA, the Treasurer of Western Australia, and Professors Robert 
Stick and Dieter Wege, whose names the laboratories carry, at the event. 

During the year, Epichem  was  awarded an extension to its contract  with a leading Californian biotechnology Company,  Unity 
Biotechnology,  Inc.  Epichem  was  also  awarded  another  one  year  extension  to  its  current  contract  with  Drugs  for  Neglected 
Diseases initiative (DNDi), extending that relationship to 11 years. The contract, which will see Epichem continue to provide synthetic 
& medicinal chemistry support to DNDi's drug discovery projects and will generate $1.24M in revenues in the 2019 calendar year. 

During the year, PharmAust announced that Epichem had paid off its debt liability on time for a major state-of-the-art laboratory 
purpose built in 2015 and expanded in 2018. Epichem’s revenues have made a significant upturn over the period 2015 to 2019, 
increasing 74% to $3.8 million in FY19. Budgeted revenues for FY20 are $4.2 million (subject to continuation of existing contracts).  
With the loan facility repaid the money saved on interest and principal will go straight to improving the bottom line.

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. 

Voting and comments made at the Company's 2018 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') 
At the 2018 AGM, 99% 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. 

Details of remuneration 

Details of the nature and amount of each element of remuneration of each key management personnel of the consolidated entity

Non-Audit Services

DIRECTORS' REPORT (Cont.) 

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 28 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 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. 

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. 

Auditor’s Independence Declaration 

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included within 
these financial statements. 

Auditor 

RSM Australia Partners continues in office in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001. 

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of directors, pursuant to section 298(2)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF PHARMAUST LIMITED 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  PharmAust  Limited  (Company)  and  its  subsidiaries  (Group),  which 
comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2019,  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  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 (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. 

For personal use only 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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. 

How our audit addressed this matter 

Our audit procedures included: 

•  Assessing  whether  there  are  any  indicators  of 
impairment  of  the  MPL  asset,  including  enquiring 
with  management  on  the  current  and  planned 
commercialisation activities; 

•  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  the 

financial statements. 

Key audit matter 
Intangible Assets 
Refer to Note 8 in the financial statements 
Intangible assets of the Group are $3,107,476 as at 
30  June  2019.  This  relates  to  the  intellectual 
property rights for the monepantel oncology platform 
(MPL). 

The  MPL  asset  is  not  yet  available  for  use  and 
remains  subject  to  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  model,  which  was 
prepared  in  the  previous  financial  year,  to 
determine  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.

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 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.  

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

PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
For the year ended 30 June 2019 

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 in Note 25. 

1 

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. 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25. 

The financial report was authorised for issue on 19 September 2019 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 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then  ended. PharmAust Limited and its subsidiaries together are 
referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over  which the parent has  control. The consolidated entity controls an entity  when the 
parent entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) 

(b)     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. 

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) 

(c)    Plant and Equipment (Cont.) 

Depreciation

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 

3-20 years 

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) 

(e)    Financial instruments (Cont.) 

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 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.

(f)

Foreign currency transactions and balances 

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) 

(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. 

(i)     Provisions 

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 recognition 

The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be 
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated 
entity:  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. 

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. 

Rendering of services 
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed 
price or an hourly rate. 

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. 

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.  

(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. 

(p)     Earnings per share 

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. 

(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. 

(r) 

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.

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

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 or amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity 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. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.  

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

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
The consolidated entity 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. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
The consolidated entity 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. 

Impact of adoption
AASB 9 and AASB 15 were adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such comparatives have not been 
restated. There was no impact of adoption. 

(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.

(z)   Business combinations (Cont.) 

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 

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. 

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(r). 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.

PharmAust Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary have formed an income tax consolidated group under the Tax 
Consolidation Regime.  PharmAust Limited is responsible for recognising the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities for 
the tax consolidated group. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each Company in 
the consolidated entity contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax 
of the tax consolidated group.

Trade receivables: Payment terms are 30 days from the date of recognition and carried at fair value. 

5b        Provision for impairment of receivables 

Current trade and term receivables are non-interest bearing and generally on 30-day terms.  Non-current trade and term 
receivables are assessed for recoverability based on the underlying terms of the contract.  A provision for impairment is 
recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade or term receivable is impaired.   

5c        Past due but not impaired 

As of 30 June 2019, trade receivables of $9,585 (2018: $31,202) 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 
follows: 

31 to 60 days
             61 days and above

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 
and other receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.

             The Group has assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the Intangible Asset based on a 16-year value in use 
calculation  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  model  for  the  intellectual  property  rights  to  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:

Terms and Conditions 
Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per 
share at shareholders’ meetings. 

In the event of winding up the Company, ordinary shares rank after all other shareholders and creditors and are fully entitled 
to any proceeds from liquidation. 

Ordinary shares issued as a result of the exercise of options, will rank equally and on the same terms and conditions as all 
other shareholders. 

13c     Capital Management 

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders 
with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. 

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. 

There are no externally imposed capital requirements. 

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing its financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in 
response to changes in these risks and in the market.  These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions 
to shareholders and share issues. 

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior 
year. The gearing ratios for the year ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 are as follows:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Cont.) 

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 2019 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 $17,004 (2018: $ $38,411) 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.

The 10,000,000 Options granted to consultants in 2018 were valued at the fair value of services provided which was determined 
to be $7,050.

The  valuation  of  these  options  was  recognised  as  share-based  payment  expense  over  the  related  vesting  period  based  on 
management’s estimate of the number expected to vest resulting from satisfaction of the related other than market performance 
conditions.

Share-based payments to KMP – Performance Rights 

During  2019,  the  Class  A  performance  rights  vested  and  were  converted  resulting  from  satisfaction  of  the  related  vesting 
conditions. The cumulative expense recognised in the share-based payment reserve for the grant of these performance rights 
was reversed to issued capital. 

The  Class  B  and  Class  C  performance  rights  lapsed  resulting  from  the  lack  of  satisfaction  of  the  related  other  than  market 
performance  conditions.  The  cumulative  expense  recognised  in  the  share-based  payment  reserve  for  the  grant  of  these 
performances rights was reversed and recognised within profit and loss as an offset to administration expenses. 

During 2018, share-based payments expense was recognised for performance rights granted to KMP as follows:

23       SEGMENT REPORTING
Segment Information 

Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Directors (chief 
operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.  

Descriptions of segments 

i.

ii. 

Corporate
The corporate segment covers all the corporate overhead expenses.   

Pharmaceutical
The  pharmaceutical  segment  provides  products  and  services  in  synthetic  and  medicinal  chemistry  to  the  drug 
discovery and pharmaceutical industries.  

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 

a. 

Accounting policies adopted 

All  amounts  reported  to  the  Directors,  being  the  chief  decision  makers  with  respect  to  operating  segments,  are 
determined  in  accordance  with  accounting  policies  that  are  consistent  to  those  adopted  in  these  financial 
statements.

b. 

Intersegment transactions 

There are intersegment sales and purchase within the consolidated entity. 

Intersegment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net 
of transaction costs.  

c. 

Segment assets 

Where  an  asset  is  used  across  multiple  segments,  the  asset  is  allocated  to  the  segment  that  receives  majority 
economic value from the asset.  In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of 
their nature and physical location. 

d. 

Segment liabilities 

Liabilities  are  allocated  to  segments  where  there  is  a  direct  nexus  between  the  incurrence  of  the  liability  and  the 
operations of the segment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
For the year ended 30 June 2019 

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 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. 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 Group has not yet finalised its assessment of the impact of the adoption of 
this standard as at the date this report.
