Whilst North American revenue increased by 26.9% this was offset by decreases in the company’s European operations as well as increased costs associated with the ongoing commercialisation of Coral, the company’s new technology platform. In July 2012, the company sold the Amira software platform business to a European IT company for €12.1 million (approximately A$14 million), having bought the business in February 2009 as part of its acquisition of Visage Imaging from Mercury Computer Systems. The sale generated a one-off, after- tax profit of $8.45 million. This was partially offset by an assessment of the carrying value of the company’s intangible assets which yielded an after-tax impairment loss of $3.22 million resulting in a full year profit of $5.13 million. During the year significant progress was made on the ongoing deployment and implementation of Coral, the company’s new RIS technology platform in Australia. The company is pleased to announce that the new RIS technology platform has been successfully implemented at a number of new client sites and is scheduled to be rolled out to our existing customer base in the near future. To date, feedback for the product has been very positive reconfirming our belief that this new system represents a quantum improvement over anything currently in the market. The company has also continued investing in ongoing R & D of the Visage 7 suite of products which, based on the company’s unique thin client technology, combines conventional 2D x-ray imaging with the new 3D volume rendering of images. The company continues to see the benefits resulting from management changes made late in 2010 and we anticipate these will continue to be instrumental in maintaining the company on a long term course of profitable growth. The company announced in May 2013 that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Visage Imaging Inc, has signed a pivotal five-year agreement with US group vRad (Virtual Radiologic), one the world’s largest radiology groups. vRad, whose more than 400 radiologists read more than 7 million radiology studies annually, will implement Visage 7 as a central component of its new technology platform focused on delivering a real- time, ‘read anywhere, read anytime’ environment. This agreement represented a key milestone for Pro Medicus in North America. Revenue from this contract is expected to commence in the October/November timeframe and build as the Visage software is progressively rolled out to vRad sites thereby providing significant upside potential. The company is also experiencing increased interest in Visage from others in the North American market which your directors feel is encouraging. The vRad deal continues the trend towards the increased adoption of a pay per use pricing model. Whilst this does not have the same degree of upfront payment as an outright purchase (capital) model, it provides a growing recurring revenue stream which longer term will provide greater predictability of future earnings. Pro Medicus now has the strongest balance sheet in its history with a cash position of $18.02 million as at the end of June 2013, up from $5.19 million in June 2012 an increase of 247.2%. This provides sufficient reserves to fund the anticipated growth of the business from internal sources. The company continues to be debt free. As a result, your directors were pleased to announce an increased dividend of 2c per share fully franked and believe that our strong balance sheet leaves us well placed to maintain our dividend policy in the coming years. We would also like to express our sincere thanks to our fellow directors and to the energetic team we have at both Pro Medicus and Visage Imaging, each of whom has contributed to a year that continues to put us on a solid path for the future. Yours faithfully, Peter Kempen CHAIRMAN Dr Sam Hupert CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE I N A M R A H C D N A O E C R E T T E L 2 Annual Report 2013 3 YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 All figures in $A thousands unless otherwise stated 2013 $’000 11,374 -0.04% 327 -89.1% 11,701 -18.7% 7,327 +190.2% 5,131 +186.5% 2012 $’000 11,379 +1.8% 3,013 +4.3% 14,392 +2.3% 2,525 +321.5% 1,791 +256.1% 29,418 23,144 Revenues from Continuing Operations Revenues from Discontinued Operations (Amira) Total Revenues Operating Profit Before Interest and Income Tax Net Profit After Tax Total Assets 30 June Shareholders’ Funds 30 June 20,959 16,002 Net Tangible Assets per Share at 30 June (cents) Earnings per Share (cents) 15.0 5.1 +183.3% 5.0 1.8 +260.0% I L A C N A N F I Y R A M M U S 4 Annual Report 2013 5 PRO MEDICUS IS A LEADING PROVIDER OF IT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. WORKING TOGETHER WITH OUR CLIENTS WORLDWIDE, PRO MEDICUS IS HELPING TO SOLVE OUR CLIENT’S DAILY CHALLENGE OF DELIVERING IMPROVED LEVELS OF HEALTH CARE BY MAKING SURE OUR USERS HAVE THE RIGHT INFORMATION AT THE RIGHT TIME, AND ARE ABLE TO PUT IT TO USE IN THE MOST EFFICIENT MANNER. BUILDING ON OUR CLINICAL AND PRACTICE MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE, WE HAVE FOUND INCREASINGLY INNOVATIVE WAYS TO DELIVER VALUE TO OUR CLIENTS. In February of 2009, the company acquired Visage Imaging in the US which has expanded the Pro Medicus product portfolio into the clinical imaging space as well as providing the company with its own presence in both Europe and the US. The suite of Pro Medicus solutions which previously comprised of Practice Management, e-health and digital imaging integration products now includes the Visage suite of 2-D and 3-D digital radiology (PACS) and Advanced Visualisation clinical products plus a comprehensive range of services centred on the company’s numerous offerings. These include training and installation, hardware configuration and ongoing technical and end user support. In addition to the 2-D PACS and 3-D/advanced visualisation products, the Visage Imaging acquisition brought with it a number of other revenue streams including OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and dealer relationships. The activities of Pro Medicus in the financial year ending June 30, 2013 can be characterised by the following revenue streams: Radiology Information Systems (RIS)/Practice Management The business consists of a range of integrated software applications and services that are designed to aid the management of medical practices. The primary products in this area include medical accounting, clinical reporting, appointments/scheduling and marketing/management information applications. Services include network design and implementation, hardware sourcing and configuration, staff and management training and ongoing technical and end user support. E-health Pro Medicus’ Internet-based e-health offering, promedicus.net, enables referring doctors to receive encrypted clinical reports via the Internet to a centralised “In-Tray” run on a doctor’s computer. These reports are then electronically incorporated into the patients’ medical record, doing away with the need for double handling or manual filing. Over 26,000 Australian doctors are registered users of promedicus.net. Integration products Pro Medicus has developed a range of highly modular integration products which provide a seamless interface between the Pro Medicus Practice Management System and a number of 3rd party PACS/ digital imaging products allowing large diagnostic imaging providers to incrementally implement this technology across their enterprise. Revenue is generated from the sale of software licenses for the integration modules, implementation services and ongoing support. Visage 3-D Advanced Visualisation Advanced visualisation allows CT and MRI images to be reconstructed in 3D and 4D (3D with motion). A growing number of specialist areas are being revolutionised by this technology including cardiology, where it provides 3-D reconstruction of coronary arteries from high definition CT images, oncology via the introduction of PET CT and advanced areas of stroke treatment and neuro-radiology. This product can be interfaced to a broad range of third-party PACS Systems and is sold as a 3-D “plug in “. Revenue is derived by sale of licences and ongoing support. The Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer The Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer combines the 3-D/4-D and advanced visualisation capabilities with the full gamut of 2-D reading functionality creating a truly unique thin client streaming Universal viewing platform that enables radiologist to read anything from a 2-D chest x-ray to a complicated 3-D cardiac study all within the one viewer. The Enterprise viewer can be interfaced with a broad range of third party image archiving and distribution products. These include other 3rd party PACS systems upon which Visage technology can be overlaid as well as the growing industry trend for vendor neutral archives (VNA). Traditionally revenue for this product has been generated from sale of licences and ongoing support however we are seeing the increased adoption of a pay per use licensing model which is helping to build growing annuity revenue streams for the company particularly in the US. Visage 3D PACS As a result of the extensive R & D undertaken post the Visage Imaging acquisition, the company now has its own comprehensive 2D-3D / PACS offering which combines the Visage 7 Enterprise Viewer with the ability to store and archive radiological images creating one of the world’s first “3-D PACS”. The company is now selling this solution in North America, Australia, and select countries within Europe. Due to the highly modular nature of our product offering, Visage technology can be successfully deployed in the vast majority of radiology environments including private imaging centres, remote reading/teleradiology groups as well as large teaching hospitals opening up markets previously not available or only partially accessible to us. Life Sciences — Research The Amira business was sold to Visualization Sciences Group (VSG) in July 2012 for a sum of € €12.1 million.

I P H S R E D A E L L A B O L G M A E T 8 Annual Report 2013 9 United States The Group employs 8 people in North America to fulfill the sales marketing and professional services roles. Revenue from North America increased by 26.9% compared to the previous year. This was largely attributable to an increase in transaction based revenue from sales of Visage technology as more contracts come on stream as well as an increase in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sales in this region. Europe Pro Medicus established a presence in Europe with the acquisition of Visage Imaging GmbH in late January 2009. The group has 38 employees in its Berlin office who undertake research and development of Visage Imaging products worldwide as well as sales, marketing and service/support functions for the group’s European operations. Revenue from our European operations decreased by 22.6% compared to the previous year due to deteriorating European market conditions. COMPANY OFFICES Pro Medicus Limited — Melbourne This is the company’s Global and Australian headquarters and is the base for all Australian sales, marketing, service and support as well as R&D for Coral the company’s new technology platform. Visage Imaging GmbH — Berlin This is the company’s European headquarters and houses 38 staff, the majority which are involved in product research and development and ongoing product support. This office also forms the base of the company’s European operations including order administration and both direct and OEM sales activities. Visage Imaging Inc — San Diego This is the company’s US headquarters and is the base for 8 staff who are involved in sales, marketing, training/implementation and applications support for both the Visage Imaging offerings and the existing Pro Medicus products. Australia The Group employs 28 people in Australia who undertake research and development of Pro Medicus products (RIS) as well as sales and service/support functions. The Group’s Australian revenue was marginally above last year’s result despite an increasingly competitive local market with overall profit being affected by increased costs associated with the ongoing commercialisation and roll-out of the Company’s new Coral RIS technology platform. The company now has a growing number of installations of its new technology platform (Coral) and is commencing the roll-out of this exciting technology to its existing customer base. Promedicus.net, the company’s e-health offering, continued to hold its strong market position despite increasing competition. 3 1 0 2 – 2 1 0 2 I W E V E R 10 Annual Report 2013 11 EXPANDED PRODUCT PORTFOLIO GROUND BREAKING VISAGE 7 TECHNOLOGY CONTINUED US EXPANSION ADDRESSING HOSPITAL MARKETS NEW RIS TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM PAY PER USE LICENSING MODEL E H T O T N I E R U T U F THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT BELIEVE THE COMPANY IS WELL POSITIONED TO BUILD ON THE SOLID PROGRESS IT HAS MADE THROUGHOUT THE 2013 FINANCIAL YEAR. In North America it is anticipated that the company will continue to build on its base of pay per use revenue as a result of the vRad rollout which is scheduled to commence in the October/November timeframe. This will be supplemented by growth in transaction numbers from existing contracts and any future sales the company may make throughout the period. In Australia, the ongoing roll-out of the company’s new RIS technology platform will continue to cement Pro Medicus position as the premium provider of Practice Management (RIS) systems which the company anticipates will lead to further sales of this technology. Key factors predicted to drive growth include: Expanded geographical footprint The company is looking to further build on its presence in North America as well as consolidate its position in Australia. In North America, our strategy of developing direct sales has been very successful with an increasing percentage of the company’s revenue coming from this region, a trend we feel will continue in the coming year. Multiple licencing models Over the past year, the company has seen an increase in the pay per use licensing model in both Australia and North America. We believe this will continue to gain momentum as more and more clients opt for an operational model. This has the potential to build growing annuity revenue streams to supplement the upfront, capital licence model that has traditionally been used. Fully integrated product offering With the ongoing commercialisation of Coral our new RIS technology platform, we are fulfilling our aim of fully integrating our new RIS technology platform with our leading edge Visage 7.0 suite of products thereby creating the first fourth- generation, end-to-end single-vendor ‘thin client’ PACS/RIS solution in the market. Over the past year, we have seen a clear trend in Australia where all new sales have been for the combined solution of Coral and Visage technologies providing early confirmation of our multi product strategy. New Technology The company will continue the rollout of its New Technology RIS Platform. This platform, the culmination of many years of intense R & D effort will see Pro Medicus cement its position at the forefront of radiology information system (RIS) and practice management technology. A key feature of this technology is the ability for clients to configure business-specific workflow and rules to suit their needs without the need to customize the program, a new concept for the radiology industry. The company will also continue to make significant investments in R&D for its flagship Visage 7 suite of products which it believes will continue to differentiate our offering in both the 2-D PACS and 3-D advanced visualisation space opening up more opportunities in a broad range of radiology market segments. 12 Annual Report 2013 13 CONTENTS Directors’ Report

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Investment Activities Surplus funds which are held in several currencies are invested by the Group in a cash management account and terms deposits to maximise the interest return. Performance Indicators Management and the Board monitor overall performance, from the strategic plan through to the performance of the Group against operating plans and financial budgets. The Board, together with management, have identified key performance indicators (KPIs) that are used to monitor performance. Key management monitor these KPIs on a regular basis and Directors receive appropriately structured board reports for review prior to each monthly Board meeting allowing them to actively monitor the Group’s performance. Dynamics of the Business Australia The Group employs 28 people in Australia who undertake research and development of Pro Medicus products (RIS) as well as sales and service/support functions. The Group’s Australian revenue was marginally above last year’s result despite an increasingly competitive local market with overall profit being affected by increased costs associated with the ongoing commercialisation and rollout of the Company’s new Coral RIS technology platform. Promedicus.net, the company’s e-health offering, continued to hold its strong market position despite increasing competition. North America The Group employs 8 people in North America to fulfil the sales marketing and professional services roles. Revenue from North America increased by 26.9% compared to the previous year. This was largely attributable to an increase in transaction based revenue from sales of Visage technology as more contracts come on stream as well as an increase in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sales. 18 Annual Report 2013 Europe Pro Medicus established a presence in Europe with the acquisition of Visage Imaging GmbH in late January 2009. The group has 38 employees in its Berlin office who undertake research and development of Visage Imaging products worldwide as well as sales, marketing and service/support functions for the group’s European operations. Revenue from our European operations decreased by 22.6% compared to the previous year due to deteriorating European market conditions. Financials Full year revenue of the Group from continuing operations, decreased marginally from $11.38m to $11.37m, a decrease of 0.4%. The result from the underlying operations for the year was a loss of $0.65m. The underlying loss is made up of reported profit after-tax of $5.13m, less the after-tax profit of $8.61m of Amira and after-tax net currency gain of $0.39m, and adding back the after-tax impairment expense of $3.22m. This result was impacted by additional costs, mainly associated with the ongoing commercialisation and roll out of Coral RIS to the market. Profit after tax for the period was $5.13m an increase of 186.5% from the previous year. The key driver of the profit increase was the sale of Amira business in July 2012 which generated a one-off after-tax profit of $8.45m. This was partially offset by a decrease in the carrying value of some the company’s intangible assets which resulted in an after-tax impairment loss of $3.22m. Investments for Future Performance The Company will continue to direct resources into the development of new products and is committed to the continued development of Coral, its new RIS technology platform as well as the ongoing development of the Visage Imaging PACS product. It is anticipated that this strategy of ongoing development will continue to position Pro Medicus as a market leader and enable the group to leverage its expanded product portfolio and geographical spread. The Group remains committed to providing staff with access to appropriate training and development programs, together with the resources to complete their duties. The directors express their gratitude for the efforts of the management team and all employees in achieving this year’s result. REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION Capital Structure The Company has a sound capital structure with a strong financial position, with no debt. Treasury Policy With the increase in overseas operations there is an increased currency risk as a consequence of contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies. Whilst this is offset to a degree by having operations in North America and Europe, this change in risk profile has been noted by the board and action is being taken to manage this risk. The treasury function, co-ordinated within Pro Medicus Limited, is limited to maximising interest return on surplus funds and managing currency risk. The treasury operates within policies set by the Board, which is responsible for ensuring that management’s actions are in line with Board policy. Cash from Operations Net cash flows from operating activities for the current period was a positive $3.81m, with receipts from customers totalling $11.68m compared with payments of $8.26m to suppliers and employees. The group continued to hold total cash assets of $18.02 million and increase of 247.21% from last year. Liquidity and Funding The Group is cash flow positive, has adequate cash reserves and has no overdraft facility. Sufficient funds are held to finance operations. Risk Management The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the Board. The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to participate in this process, as such the Board has not established separate committees for areas such as risk management, environmental issues, occupational health and safety or treasury. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE A Final Dividend of 1.0 cents per share has been declared post 1 July. Please refer Note 10. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include the following: ▶ Board approval of strategic plans, which encompass the Company’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholder needs and manage business risk; ▶ Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of KPIs; ▶ Overseeing of appropriate backup procedures for important company data; and ▶ Routine review by key executives of its established Quality Assurance program and corrective action recommendations stemming from it. Corporate Governance In recognising the need for the highest standards of corporate behaviour and accountability, the directors of Pro Medicus Limited support and have adhered to the principles of good corporate governance. Please refer to the separate “Corporate Governance” section for more details of specific policies. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS Shareholders’ equity increased by 31.0% from $16.00m to $20.96m. This movement was largely the result of the sale of the Amira business, offset by the impairment loss during the year. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS The Directors anticipate that the 2014 financial year will see more opportunity crystallise for the company due to improved prospects in North America and the continued commercialisation and roll out of Coral, the company’s new technology RIS platform. Key components that are likely to affect the performance of the company are: ▶ Growing interest in the Visage suite of products in the North American market has resulted in a number of sales opportunities that the Company is actively pursuing. ▶ The ability of the expanded Visage product set to address key market segments such as large public/ teaching hospitals in addition to the private radiology and teleradiology markets. ▶ The continued adoption of advanced visualisation and 3-D capability throughout the radiology profession. ▶ Increased revenue being generated from transaction based contracts including the Vrad contract that was announced in May which is anticipated to come on stream in the first half of the 2014 financial year. ▶ Improved sales prospects for Coral, the company’s New Technology RIS platform as the rollout of this new platform continues. As a result, it is anticipated that the 2014 financial year will show continued improvement in profits. However, this is dependant on many market factors over which the directors have limited or no control.

REMUNERATION REPORT (audited) This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2013 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. This information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act. The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (KMP) who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group. For the purposes of this report, the term ‘executive’ includes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), executive directors and other senior executives of the Group. Remuneration committee Remuneration and nomination issues are handled at the full Board level. The Board due to the small number of directors decided this. No Committees for these functions have been established at this time. Board members, as per groupings detailed below, are responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements. In order to maintain good corporate governance the Non-Executive Directors assume responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Executive Directors of the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Non-Executive Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full Board reviews the terms of employment for all executives. The assessment considers the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team. (i) Non – Executive Directors Peter Terence Kempen Chairman Roderick Lyle Director (non-executive) (ii) Executive Directors Dr Sam Aaron Hupert Managing Director and CEO Anthony Barry Hall Technology Director (ii) Other Executives Danny Tauber Malte Westerhoff General Manager – Pro Medicus Limited Managing Director – Visage Imaging GmbH Brad Levin General Manager – Visage Imaging Inc Remuneration philosophy The performance of the group depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives. To this end, the Company provides competitive rewards to attract high calibre Executives. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Executive’s remuneration is separate and distinct. Non-Executive Director remuneration Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non- Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the Directors as agreed. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 4 November 2005 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $500,000 per year. The amount of the aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers fees paid to Non- Executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. No additional fee is paid for time spent on Audit Committee business. Non-Executive Directors have long been encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased by the Director on market). It is considered good governance for the Directors to have a stake in the Company on whose board they sit. The Non- Executive Directors of the Company participate in the Employee Share Incentive Scheme [Option based] which was established in 2000 to provide incentive for participants. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the period ending 30 June 2013 is detailed in Table 1 of this report. Executives (including Executive Directors remuneration) Objective The Group aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group and so as to: ▶ align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders; ▶ ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. Structure Employment Contracts have been entered into with all Executives of the Group. Details of these contracts are provided on page 22. Remuneration consists predominately of fixed remuneration. Variable remuneration is provided occasionally at the Board’s discretion including both short term incentives (STI) and long term incentives (LTI). The Company does not have a policy regarding Executives entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to share options granted as part of their remuneration package. Fixed Remuneration Objective The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually and the process consisting of a review of group wide, business and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. As noted above, the company conducting the review has access to external advice independent of management. Executives, including Executive Directors are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the group. The fixed remuneration is detailed in Table 1 of this report. Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI) Roderick Lyle was granted options in 2011-12 under the Employee Share Option Scheme with a 5 year vesting period. A long term incentive plan was established during 2011-12 whereby Senior Executives of Group were offered performance rights over the ordinary shares of Pro Medicus Limited. The performance rights, issued for nil consideration, are offered for a 5 year period and vest 3 years after granting date on completion of service. This long term incentive plan includes performance hurdles related to profitability which is set on an annualised basis by the Board. Variable Pay – Short Term Incentive (STI) Short term incentives in the form of cash bonuses were paid to key staff based on a mix of company based and personal performance targets. STI bonus for 2013 For the 2013 financial year, the total amount of STI cash bonus either paid or accrued at year end was $202,898. The maximum amount payable under STI was $247,598. Key Performance Indicators Actual STI payments granted to key staff depended on the extent to which specific targets set at the time of employment were met. The targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering both financial (Sales Targets) and non-financial measures of performance. Shareholder Returns The directors are confident that the holdings of reserve cash is sufficient to underpin the development and expansion needs of the company as the business looks to increase its penetration of existing markets. The company has maintained cash holdings and the increased return on net assets and equity as shown in the table below reflects the increased level of profit in the current period.

Employment Contracts Executive Directors Executive Service Contracts, on similar terms and conditions, have been prepared for all Executive Directors of the Company. These agreements provide the following major terms: ▶ Each executive will receive a remuneration package per annum which is to be reviewed annually; ▶ The agreements protect the Company and Group’s confidential information and provide that any inventions or discoveries of an executive become the property of the Group; ▶ Non-competition during employment and for a period of 12 months thereafter; and ▶ Termination by the Company on six months notice or payment of six months remuneration in lieu of notice or a combination of both (or without notice or payment in lieu in the event of misconduct or other specified circumstances). The agreements may be terminated by the executives on the giving of six months notice. Executives (excluding Executive Directors) All Executives have rolling contracts. The Group may terminate the Executive’s employment agreement by providing six months written notice or providing payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the fixed component of the Executive’s remuneration). The Group may terminate the contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. Where termination with cause occurs the Executive is only entitled to that portion of remuneration that is fixed, and only up to the date of termination. On termination with cause any unvested options will immediately be forfeited.

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) unless otherwise stated.

(c) New accounting standards and interpretations (i) Changes in Accounting policy and disclosures The accounting polices adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows: The Group has adopted the following new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as of 1 July 2012. Adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group. AASB 2011–9 — Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income (AASB 1, 5, 7, 101, 112, 120, 121, 132, 133, 134, 1039 & 1049) This standard requires entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they might be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and those that will not: (ii) Accounting Standards and Interpretation issued but not yet effective Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2013. These are outlined in the table below. REFERENCE TITLE SUMMARY AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities AASB 10 establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and UIG-112 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. Consequential amendments were also made to this and other standards via AASB 2011–7 and AASB 2012–10. AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgments made by management to determine whether control exists, and to require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates, structured entities and subsidiaries with non- controlling interests.

REFERENCE TITLE SUMMARY AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement AASB 119 Employee Benefits AASB 2012-2 AASB 2012-5 AASB 2012-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009–2011 Cycle Amendments to AASB 1048 arising from the withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-8. The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognized in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognized in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10. AASB 2012-2 principally amends AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to require disclosure of the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set- off associated with the entity’s recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position, when all the offsetting criteria of AASB 132 are not met. AASB 2012-5 makes amendments resulting from the 2009-2011 Annual Improvements Cycle. The Standard addresses a range of improvements, including the following: ▶ repeat application of AASB 1 is permitted (AASB 1); and ▶ clarification of the comparative information requirements when an entity provides a third balance sheet (AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements). AASB 2012-9 amends AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards to evidence the withdrawal of Australian Interpretation 1039 Substantive Enactment of Major Tax Bills in Australia.

AASB 2012-3 AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements [AASB 124] This amendment deletes from AASB 124 individual key management personnel disclosure requirements for disclosing entities that are not companies. It also removes the individual KMP disclosure requirements for all disclosing entities in relation to equity holdings, loans and other related party transactions. 1 January 2013 1 July 2013 The Group will amend the future financial reports to comply with AASB 2011-4 1 January 2015 No impact 1 July 2015 AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. It was further amended by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are described below. (a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. (b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. (c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. (d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: ▶ The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) ▶ The remaining change is presented in profit or loss Further amendments were made by AASB 2012–6 which amends the mandatory effective date to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. AASB 2012-6 also modifies the relief from restating prior periods by amending AASB 7 to require additional disclosures on transition to AASB 9 in some circumstances. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10. 30 Annual Report 2013 31 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont. (d) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Pro Medicus Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group). Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a Group controls another entity. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intragroup transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values. The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair value of any pre- existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent. Losses are attributed to the non- controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it – Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary. – Derecognises the carrying amount of any non–controlling interest. – Derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity. – Recognises the fair value of the consideration received. – Recognises the fair value of any investment retained. – Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss. – Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss. (e) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non–controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non–controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition–related costs are expensed as incurred. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it shall not be remeasured. (f) Operating segments An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the board of directors. Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers – being the executive management team. The group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics and the segments are similar in each of the following respects: ▶ Nature of the products and services ▶ Type or class of customer for the products and services ▶ Nature of the regulatory environment Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements. Information about other business activities and operating segments that are below the quantitative criteria are combined and disclosed in a separate category for “all other segments”. (g) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Rendering of services Revenue from the installation and ongoing support of software applications and services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of a contract or contracts in progress. Stage of completion is measured by completion of identifiable service segments as a percentage of the total services to be provided for each contract, which is determined by a quotation with the customer. Service Revenue is recognised over the term of the contract. Where revenue is received in advance, revenue is recognised in the period during which the service is provided. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured, revenue is recognised only to the extent that costs have been incurred. Licences License revenue is recognised when control of the right to be compensated for the license can be reliably measured. License revenue is recognised when ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, which is usually after the software application has been installed and is ready for use by the buyer. Interest Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. (h) 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 dependant on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Group as a lessee Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight–line basis over the lease term. (i) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes of value. For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. (j) Trade and other receivables Trade and intercompany receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. A provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence that Pro Medicus will not be able to collect the debts. Financial difficulty of the debtors is considered objective evidence by the Group. Bad debts are written off when identified. (k) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods represents the purchase cost. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (l) Derivative financial instruments and hedging The Group has not transacted any derivative financial instruments to hedge its risk associated foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations. (m) Investments and other financial assets Investments and financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are categorised as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held–to–maturity investments, or available–for–sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired or originated. Designation is re– evaluated at each reporting date, but there are restrictions on reclassifying to other categories. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. 32 Annual Report 2013 33 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont. Recognition and derecognition All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets has expired or when the entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial assets. If the entity neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards, it derecognises the asset if it has transferred control of the assets. Subsequent measurement (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on financial assets held for trading are recognised in profit or loss and the related assets are classified as current assets in the statement of financial position. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables including loan notes and loans to key management personnel are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired. These are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after reporting date, which are classified as non–current. (n) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Both the functional and presentation currency of Pro Medicus Limited and its Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars ($). The United States subsidiaries’ functional currency is United States Dollars. The subsidiary in Germany has a functional currency of Euro. Foreign subsidiaries are translated to presentation currency (see below for consolidated reporting). (ii) Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non–monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non–monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. (iii) Translation of Group Companies’ functional currency to presentation currency The results of the United States and German subsidiaries are translated into Australian dollars (presentation currency) using an average exchange rate for the trading period. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at reporting date. Exchange variations resulting from the translation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investments in foreign subsidiaries are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. If a foreign subsidiary were sold, the proportionate share of exchange differences would be transferred out of equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. (o) Income tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: ▶ where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. ▶ when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry–forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except: ▶ where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. ▶ when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income. Tax consolidation legislation Pro Medicus Limited and its wholly– owned Australian controlled entities implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2009. The head entity, Pro Medicus Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Group has applied the Group allocation approach to determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Pro Medicus also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. Pro Medicus Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 January 2009. Pro Medicus Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. An allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities of the tax consolidated group will be made should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No such amounts have been recognised in the financial statements on the basis that the possibility of default is remote. (p) Other taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: ▶ when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or of the expense item as applicable; and ▶ receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the Cash Flow Statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (q) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the income statement. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale. (r) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: 2013 2012 Property Improvements 2 to 7 years 2 to 7 years Motor Vehicles Office Equipment 4 to 5 years 4 to 5 years 2 to 7 years 2 to 7 years Furniture and Fittings 5 years 5 years Research and Development Equipment 3 to 4 years 3 to 4 years 34 Annual Report 2013 35 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on de– recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised. Impairment The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash–generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre–tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. (s) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets with a finite life are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated on a straight–line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. The recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value. The amortisation period and method is renewed at each financial year end and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis. Research and development costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for sale or use, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of expected benefit from the related project (5 years). Development expenditure includes costs of materials and services and salaries and wages and other employee related costs arising from the generation of the intangible asset. The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually when the asset is not yet available for use or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period. Intellectual Property – Software Three separately identifiable intangible assets, in the form of software intellectual property, have previously been identified in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging; ▶ Visage CS ▶ Visage PACS and ▶ Amira Following initial recognition, Intellectual property is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation. A useful life of 5 years has been determined. Software Licenses The Group identified a separate intangible asset in the form of software licenses, in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging. Following initial recognition, software licenses are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation. A useful life of 4 years has been determined. Customer List The Group identified a separate intangible asset in the form of a customer list, in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging. Following initial recognition, the customer list is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation. A useful life of 4 years has been determined. (t) Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. (u) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. Dividends payable are recognised when a legal or constructive obligation to pay the dividend arises, typically following approval of the dividend at a meeting of directors. (v) Employee leave benefits Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. (i) Wages salaries, annual leave and sick leave Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave, expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non–accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid. (ii) Long Service Leave The liability for long service leave is recognised and 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 national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible the estimated future cash outflows. (w) Share based payment transactions (i) Equity settled transactions: The Group provides benefits to its employees (including KMP) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). There are currently two plans in place to provide these benefits: ▶ The Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP), which provides benefits to directors and senior executives. ▶ The Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), which provides benefits to directors and senior executives. The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees (for awards granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested at 1 January 2005) is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black Scholes model, further details of which are given in note 19. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Pro Medicus Limited (market conditions) if applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income is the product of: (i) The grant date fair value of the award; (ii) For options with non–market vesting conditions, the current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non–market performance conditions being met; and (iii) The expired portion of the vesting period. The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity. Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied. If the terms of an equity–settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share– based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. If an equity–settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (see note 9). (x) Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (y) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 36 Annual Report 2013 37 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group adjusted for – Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) – The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and – Other non–discretionary changes in revenue or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares and – Dilutive potential ordinary shares adjusted for any bonus element. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements. (i) Significant accounting judgements and then divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. (z) Comparatives Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. (aa) Government Grants Recovery of deferred tax assets: Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Capitalisation of Development costs: Development costs are only capitalised by the Group when it can be demonstrated that the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset is valid so that the asset will be available for use or sale. Research and Development tax credits are recognized in accordance with AASB 120: Accounting for Government Grants and Government Assistance. The Research and development tax credit is recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all conditions have been complied with. The Grant is recognised as a reduction to the cost base of the intangible and released to income as a reduction in amortization expense over the expected useful life of the related asset. The amount recognised for the period to 30 June 2013 is $654,439. (2012:$463,242). Impairment of non–financial assets The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Given the current uncertain economic environment management considered that the indicators of impairment were significant enough and as such these assets have been tested for impairment in this financial period. Taxation The Group’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from un-recouped tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences in investments, caused principally by retained earnings held in foreign tax jurisdictions, are recognised unless repatriation of retained earnings can be controlled and are not expected to occur in the foreseeable future. 38 Annual Report 2013 Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits and repatriation of retained earnings depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future sales volumes, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the statement of comprehensive income. Net investment in Foreign Operations The Group maintains inter-company loans it assesses to represent a part of its net investment in its foreign operations. The judgements made in assessing these loans to represent net investments are on the basis the loans are neither planned nor likely to be settled within the foreseeable future, the loans do not include trade receivables or trade payable and the loans represent a return of funds from their investment in the respective subsidiaries. (ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions Capitalisation of development costs The capitalisation of development costs includes an overhead rate which has been estimated from total costs. The estimated development overheads rate has been calculated by dividing the development labour costs over total labour costs to give a percentage of development labour rate. The development labour rate is then applied against the total overheads of the company, to give an estimate of the amount of overheads that relates to development. 4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The group’s principal financial instruments are cash and short–term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, interest risk and credit risk. The Board manages each of these risks as detailed below. Foreign currency risk The Group has transactional currency exposure, which arise from sales made in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency. Approximately 51% (2012: 62%) of the Group’s sales are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, and these sales would be predominately offset by currency exposure on costs.

Credit risk Credit risk arises from the financial instruments of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential defaults of the counter–party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets. Interest risk The Group exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the company’s cash and cash equivalents. The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit assessment. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. As the Group trades predominantly within the Diagnostic Imaging market there is a concentration of credit risk. Given the underlying Government funding support for Radiology in Hospital settings and the Imaging Centre and Diagnostic Imaging market, and the commercial successes achieved by the Group to date, credit risk is considered to be minimal. Cash and cash equivalents are held with several financial institutions, with the majority held with the Westpac Banking Corporation, a AA rated bank. At reporting date, the Group had the following financial assets exposed to Australian Variable interest rate risk that are not designated in cash flow hedges: Cash and Cash equivalents in the Group ($’000’s) $18,023 (2012: $5,193). The Group’s policy is to place cash balances in either 30 day term deposits or commercial bills that earn higher interest rates.

OPERATING SEGMENTS The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments are identified by management based on country of origin. Discrete financial information is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis. Types of products and services The Group produces integrated software applications for the health care industry. In addition, the Group provides services in the form of installation and support. Accounting policies and inter–segment transactions The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally is the same as those contained in note 2 to the financial statements and in the prior periods except as detailed below: Inter–entity sales Inter–entity sales are recognised based on an internally set transfer price. The price aims to reflect what the business operation could achieve if they sold their output and services to external parties at arm’s length. 40 Annual Report 2013 41 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS cont.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On 2 July 2012, the Group publicly announced the decision of its Board of Directors to sell its life sciences division of Visage Imaging, Amira. The business division of Amira is considered non-core to the operations of the Group and an offer to purchase the business was made from a French IT company, Visualization Sciences Group (VSG). The disposal of Amira was completed on 31 July 2012 for $14,144,000 in cash resulting in a pre-tax gain of $12,216,800.

Three separately identifiable intangible assets, in the form of software intellectual property, have been identified in the business acquisition of Visage Imaging; Visage CS, Visage PACS and Amira. The carrying amounts are Visage CS ($180,579) and Visage PACS ($34,986), while Amira has been sold and is a discontinued operation (refer Note 8). These intangible assets have been assessed as having a finite life and are amortised using the straight line method over a period of 5 years, commencing February 2009. ii) A Customer List was acquired in 2009 through the Visage Imaging business combination and has since been sold with the Amira discontinued operation (refer Note 8). iii) Development costs have been capitalised at cost. This intangible asset has been assessed as having a finite life and is amortised using the straight line method over a period of 5 years. As at 30 June 2013 the carrying values of capitalised development costs are Visage CS ($3,843,521) RIS ($2,428,846) and Visage PACS ($609,504), all sit within the Australian operating segment. The Group undertook an impairment assessment of the capitalised development costs as at 31 December 2012. The recoverable amount of development costs have been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by the Board of Directors covering a five-year period. The projected cash flows were updated to reflect the change in forecast revenues to a pay per view (operational) model, thereby reducing the forecasted revenue from previous periods and a post tax discount rate of 20% (30 June 2012:18%) was applied. Cash flows beyond a 5 year period have been extrapolated using a 2.5% growth rate (30 June 2012:2.5%). All other assumptions remained consistent with those disclosed in Note 2s. As a result of the updated analysis, the Group recognised an impairment charge at 31 December 2012 of $4,600,000 against the Capitalised Development costs (RIS - $870,000, Visage PACS - $3,300,000, MagicWeb - $430,000). The Group undertook an impairment assessment at 30 June 2013 and no further impairment charges were recorded at this date. Key assumptions used in value in use calculations The calculation of value in use for development costs is most sensitive to the following assumptions: - Revenue forecasts - Discount rates - Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period Revenue forecasts – Revenue forecasts are based on current year consolidated budgets for each geographical segment. Estimated growth rates are then used to forecast the following four years revenue for each product used in each geographical segment. Total forecast segment growth rates range from (22%) to 186% across the 4 year period. Discount rates – Discount rates represent the current market assessment of risks specific to each cash generating unit (CGU), taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is derived from its weighted average return on assets (WARA). The WARA takes into account the cost of equity from expected return on investments by the Groups investors, whilst there is no debt for the group to take into account. Specific risk is associated with the intangible asset nature and is incorporated by applying individual beta factors, which are evaluated annually. Growth rate estimates – rates are based on industry based customer price index (CPI) forecasts. The long term rate of 2.5% was used in the current assessment. Sensitivity to changes in assumptions With regard to the assessment of value in use of development costs, the estimated recoverable amount is equal to its carrying value and consequently, any adverse change in key assumptions could result in a further impairment loss. The key assumptions for the recoverable amounts are discussed below: Growth rate assumption – Rates are based on management’s estimated revenue forecast for the next 5 year period for each geographical segment. The revised growth rates reflect a move towards operational revenue forecast thereby reducing the forecasted revenue from previous periods, however given the economic uncertainty, further reductions to growth estimates may be necessary in the future, resulting in further impairment. Discount rates – The discount rate has been adjusted to reflect the current market assessment of the risks specific to the intangible assets and was estimated based on weighted average return on assets of the company.

CONTINGENCIES Tax related contingencies Amended assessments from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) As a result of the ATO’s program of routine and regular tax audit, the Group anticipates that ATO audits may occur in the future. The Group is similarly subject to routine tax audits in certain overseas jurisdictions. The ultimate outcome of any future tax audits cannot be determined with an acceptable degree of reliability at this time. Newvertheless, the Group believes that it is making adequate provision for its taxation liabilities (including amounts shown as deferred and current tax liabilities) and is taking reasonable steps to address potentially contentious issues with the ATO. However, there may be an impact to the Group of any of the revenue authority investigations results in an adjustment that increases the Group’s taxation liabilities. Ongoing transactions – transfer pricing The Group has offshore operations in the United States and Germany (note 24). As disclosed in note 24, there are extra Group transactions, which include the Company and its US and German based subsidiaries Visage Imaging Inc and Visage Imaging GmbH and Pro Medicus Limited.

Whilst there are no investigations currently in progress, such transactions are not subject to any statutory limit in Australia. 58 Annual Report 2013 59 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION In accordance with a resolution of the directors of Pro Medicus Limited, I state that: (1) In the opinion of the directors: (a) the financial statements, notes and the additional disclosures included in the directors’ report designated as audited, of the consolidated entity are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) (ii) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2013 and of the performance for the year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and (b) (c) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. the financial statements and notes comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as disclosed in Note 2(b).

Structure of the Board The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report. The composition of the Board was determined in accordance with the following principles and guidelines: ▶ The Board should comprise at least four directors and should maintain a majority of non–executive directors, or at least a 50/50 ratio of non– executives and executive directors; ▶ The Chairperson must be a non– executive director and not occupy the role of CEO; ▶ The Board should comprise directors with an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise; and ▶ The Board shall meet monthly and follow meeting guidelines set down to ensure all directors are made aware of, and have available all necessary information, to participate in an informed discussion of all agenda items. Directors of Pro Medicus Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. In the context of director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the company and individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the company’s loyalty. In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following directors of Pro Medicus Limited are considered to be independent: NAME POSITION P T Kempen Chairman, Non–Executive Director, Chairman Audit Committee R Lyle Non–Executive Director The Board wishes to advise that it continues to maintain responsibility for the actions of the chief executive officer and any tasks delegated to the management by the Board. Directors’ Appointment Letters have not been revised in the prescribed format as the board considered this unnecessary given the small number of fairly recently appointed current directors who understand their roles and responsibilities. The board has undertaken that the recommended format should be used for any future director appointments. Mr. Sam Hupert and Mr. Anthony Hall were directors in Pro Medicus Pty Ltd since incorporation in 1983. Mr. Peter Kempen was appointed in March 2008 and Mr Roderick Lyle was appointed in November 2010. Performance The performance of the board and key executives is reviewed regularly against both measurable and qualitative indicators. During the reporting period the board conducted performance evaluations that involved an assessment of each board member’s and key executive’s performance against specific and measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria. The performance criteria against which directors and executives are assessed are aligned with the financial and non–financial objectives of Pro Medicus Limited. In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the Chairman annually reviews the performance of all Directors who will be asked to retire from the board if not performing in a satisfactory manner. Trading policy Under the group’s security trading policy, an executive, director, or any employee of the group, must not trade in any securities of the parent company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price– sensitive information in relation to those securities. Before commencing to trade, an executive must first obtain the approval of the Company Secretary to do so and a director must obtain approval of the Chairman. Only in exceptional circumstances will approval be forthcoming inside of the period which is 30 days after: ▶ One day following the announcement of the half–yearly and full year results as the case may be. ▶ One day following the holding of the annual general meeting. ▶ One day after any other form of earnings forecast update is given to the market. As required by the ASX listing rules, the Group notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by directors in the securities of the parent company. Code of Conduct The board has developed a “Code of Conduct” consistent with the recommendations and details are disclosed on the company website. Diversity The Group recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. Pro Medicus believes its diverse workforce is the key to its continued growth, improved productivity and performance. We actively value and embrace the diversity of our employees and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequity are not tolerated. While Pro Medicus is committed to fostering diversity at all levels, gender diversity has been and continues to be a priority for the Group. To this end, the Group supports and complies with the recommendations contained in the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The Group has established a diversity policy outlining the board’s measurable objectives for achieving diversity. This is assessed annually to measure the progress towards achieving those objectives. The table below outlines the diversity objectives established by the board, the steps taken during the year to achieve these objectives and the outcomes. OBJECTIVES STEPS TAKEN/OUTCOME Increase the number of women in the workforce, including senior management positions and at board level. ▶ There were no key senior female appointments made during the year as there were no key senior appointments made during the year. ▶ Pro Medicus appointed 2 females in managerial roles ▶ As at 30 June 2013, women represented 20% in the Group’s workforce (2012:20%), 20% in key executive positions (2012:20%) and 0% at board level (2012:0%) ▶ Women represented 20% of new hires during the year (2012:23%) For the upcoming financial year, the Group targets to increase female representation in the Group’s workforce to 25-30% ▶ Pro Medicus has set a zero tolerance policy against discrimination of employees at all levels. The company also provides avenues for employees to voice their concerns or report any discrimination. ▶ No cases of discrimination were reported during the year (2012: nil). Promote an inclusive culture that treats the workforce with fairness and respect. Provide career development opportunities for every employee, irrespective of any cultural, gender or other differences. ▶ Whilst Pro Medicus place focus on gender diversity, career development opportunities are equal for all employees. ▶ During the year, representation at training and development programs was based on performance of the employees. The achievement of the measurable objectives in the current financial year was taken into consideration in assessing bonuses for employees. The Group will continue to review and update the measurable objectives to promote diversity for the upcoming year. Committees Due to the small number of Directors, the Board decided it was more appropriate to handle nomination and remuneration issues at full Board level. No Committees for these functions have been established at this time. In addition the full Board handles any matters as and when they arise concerning environmental issues, occupational health and safety, finance and treasury. In order to maintain good corporate governance the Non–Executive Directors assume responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Executive Directors of the Group. The Executive Directors in turn are responsible for determining and reviewing the compensation arrangements for the Non–Executive Directors. The CEO, in conjunction with the full Board reviews the terms of employment for all executives. The Board has delegated the responsibility of executive remuneration to the management who will assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of such executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. The appointment of appropriately skilled Non–Executive Directors, together with a broadly unchanged business base has meant no new director nominations have been required to date. Strategic planning has been an important objective of the Board. Meetings are scheduled so that all Board members can attend and are conducted in an informal fashion to allow non–executive directors to gain enhanced industry, customer, product and research knowledge. Audit Committee The board has established an audit committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board. It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes. This also includes the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and reliability of financial information as well as non–financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators. The members of the audit committee are: P T Kempen Chairman S A Hupert A B Hall R Lyle The audit committee is also responsible for nomination of the external auditor and reviewing the adequacy of the scope and quality of the annual statutory audit and half yearly audit review. Due to the small number of Directors, all members of the Board serve on the Audit Committee, whilst the Board Chairman is also the Audit Committee Chairman as his area of expertise is in Accounting and Finance. 68 Annual Report 2013 69 In accordance with ASX Principle 7, the Board has received from the Management an assurance that internal risk management and internal control systems are effective. The Board has also received a declaration from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act founded on the sound system of risk management an internal compliance and control which is operating effectively in respect to financial reporting risks. The Company up until late in the financial period was not exposed to any interest rate or significant currency sensitive loans or debts. Given the increase in overseas operations there is now an increased currency risk as a consequence of contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies. This change in risk profile has been noted by the board and action is being taken to manage this risk. The Board oversees appropriate backup procedures for important company data. Detailed annual review of insurance policies in force to ensure cover is at appropriate levels to safeguard key executives, Company assets and operations. The Board regularly considers succession planning to ensure staff of appropriate skill and experience are available to the Company.

Board Functions As the Board acts on behalf of and is accountable to the shareholders, it seeks to identify the expectations of the shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways. The Board has delegated responsibility for the operation and administration of the group to the Chief Executive Officer and the executive team (as detailed in Note 23). The Board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the Chief Executive and the executive team. The Board is responsible for ensuring that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the expectations and risks identified by the Board. The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure this is achieved. In addition to the establishment of the committee referred to above, these mechanisms include the following: ▶ approval of strategic plans, which encompass the entity’s vision, mission and strategy statements, designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk; ▶ involvement in developing the strategic plan (a dynamic document) and approving initiatives and strategies designed to ensure the continued growth and success of the entity; ▶ overseeing implementation of operating plans and budgets by management and monitoring of progress against budget – this includes the establishment and monitoring of key performance indicators (both financial and non– financial) for all significant business processes; and ▶ utilising appropriately skilled professionals to provide advice on relevant discussion topics and procedures to allow Directors, in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. Monitoring of the Board’s Performance and Communication to Shareholders — Continuous Disclosure Policy The board has developed a written policy to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules on continuous disclosure and has adopted measures to ensure the market and shareholders are fully informed. The measures in place require all potential market sensitive matters are discussed with the Chief Executive Officer who in conjunction with the Chairman and other relevant directors decide whether to make an appropriate announcement to the market. Only nominated authorised persons have the authority to release these communications to the ASX. This policy is displayed on the company website. Shareholder Communication The Board of Directors aims to ensure that the shareholders, on behalf of whom they act, are informed of all information necessary to assess the performance of the Directors. Information is communicated to the shareholders through: ▶ the annual report which is distributed to all shareholders registered to receive copies; ▶ through the release of information to the market via the ASX ▶ the annual general meeting and other meetings so called to obtain approval for Board action as appropriate; ▶ an up to date website: www.promedicus.com.au; ▶ email contact with registered users; and ▶ special written communications to shareholders distributed with the dividend notifications. The company is adopting procedures to ensure that any material given to a particular group is available to all interested parties via the company website. This includes any material presented at the Annual General Meeting. A representative of the external auditors Ernst & Young will continue to attend the Annual General Meeting. Risk Management Policies The Company takes a proactive approach to risk management. The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks are identified on a timely basis and that the Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the Board. The Company believes that it is crucial for all Board members to participate in this process; as such the Board has not established separate committees for areas such as risk management, environmental issues, occupational health and safety or treasury. The Company is committed to the identification; monitoring and management of risks associated with its business activities and has included in its management and reporting systems a number of risk management controls, such as: ▶ Annual budgeting and monthly reporting systems for all operations which enable the monitoring of progress against performance targets and to evaluate trends ▶ Guidelines and limits on capital expenditure and purchasing authority matrix ▶ Executive approvals for staffing requirements ▶ Detailed monthly management reports including cash flow reports, and to identify any foreign currency risks associated with contracts written in and cash being held in foreign currencies 70 Annual Report 2013 71 Did you know that you can access — and even update — information about your holdings in Pro Medicus Limited via the Internet.
