Directors' report

Directors' report

Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the Group) consisting of QRxPharma 
Limited (referred to hereafter as the Company) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 
2017.

Directors
The following persons were directors of QRxPharma Limited during the whole of the financial year and up until the date of 
this report, unless otherwise indicated:

Richard S Treagus (resigned 11 October 2016)
Bruce A Hancox (resigned 11 Octoboer 2016)
Timothy P Heesh (appointed 11 October 2016)
John P Rainbow (appointed 11 October 2016)

Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group has been the development and commercialisation of biopharmaceutical products based 
on  largely  Australian  research,  targeting  global  markets  with  the  initial  efforts  being  focused  on  the  US  and  European 
markets.

On 22 May 2015 the Board of Directors (Board) formed a view that the Company's circumstances rendered its ongoing 
solvency  unlikely  and  that  the  best  possible  interests  of  shareholders  may  be  achieved  by  placing  the  Company  into 
Voluntary Administration. A Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) was wholly effectuated on 23 December 2015, thereby 
returning  the  management  and  control  of  the  Company  to  the  Board.  The  Board  is  now  in  a  position  where  all  historic 
liabilities have been accounted for including through the DOCA process and the future focus is identifying the business 
opportunities that will assist the reinstatement of the Company’s securities to official quotation on the Australian Securities 
Exchange.

Results and Review of Operations

The Company reported total comprehensive loss for the year ended 30 June 2017 of $422,282 (30 June 2016: $1,762,120). 
The year ended 30 June 2017 operating results are attributed to the following:

o Restructuring expense of $5,639 (2016: $854,409)
o General and administration expense of $374,910 (2016: $695,575); and
o

Employment benefit expense of $44,224 (2016: $379,866).

At 30 June 2017, the Group holds cash and cash equivalents of $626,297 (30 June 2016: $1,193,886). As
detailed in Note 1 (b) of the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Certain former Directors of the Company have been sued for damages in a Court class action brought by former and current 
shareholders.  Whilst  the  company  is  not  a  party  to  the  litigation  it  has  been  required  to  disclose  to  the  litigants  a  great 
number of documents in its possession. This has involved time and expense and required the Company to maintain the 
office facility in North Sydney and to retain solicitors to advise on questions of privilege and disclosure of relevant documents 
and to keep Chubb Insurance informed at every stage of involvement. Chubb Insurance issued the Directors and Officers 
Insurance Policy which has been engaged by the defending Directors.

The Company has negotiated that Chubb meet most of the legal costs involved in complying with requirements for provision 
of documents to the litigating parties and asserting privilege claims as advised.

To date the Company has not been joined or threatened to be joined as a party in the class action, and it seems ever less 
likely that it will as time passes.

Former  directors  and  agents  of  QRx  are  respondents  to  proceedings  commenced  in  the  Federal  Court  of  Australia 
Proceeding in 2015 (Proceeding). Subject to the matters referred to below, QRx is not a party to the Proceeding. 

On 15 September 2017, the Applicant in the Proceeding made an application seeking orders dealing with, amongst other 
things, the form of lists of documents provided on discovery by the Respondents (Application). The relevant lists include 
claims for legal professional privilege made on behalf of QRx. Because the Application concerns claims for privilege made 
on  behalf  of  QRx,  QRx  was  joined  to  the  Proceeding  as  a  respondent  on  the  basis  that  it  be  treated  as  a  party  to  the 
Proceeding but only in respect of the Application and matters incidental thereto. On 18 September 2017, QRx was served 
with the Application and, accordingly, QRx is to be treated as a party to the Proceeding but only in respect of that Application. 

The Application is listed for hearing on 5 October 2017.

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

• remuneration levels of executive directors and other key management personnel;
• the over-arching executive remuneration framework and operation of the incentive plan; and
• key performance indicators and performance hurdles for the executive team.

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-
term interests of the Group. In doing this, the remuneration committee may seek advice from independent remuneration 
consultants. No remuneration consultants were engaged during the current financial year.

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

Non-executive directors remuneration policy
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands  which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the 
directors.

$5,475 per month

The annual director remuneration at the time of this report for Timothy P Heesh and John P Rainbow is $65,700 each

Non-executive  directors’  fees  are  determined  within  an  aggregate  directors’  fee  pool  limit,  which  is  periodically 
recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $400,000 per annum and was approved by 
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 24 April 2007.

Council  on non-executive  directors’  remuneration. Superannuation  contributions  required  under  the  Australian

Executive remuneration policy and framework
The  objective  of  the  Group’s  executive  reward  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is  competitive  and 
appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and 
the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms with market practice for delivery of reward. The board ensures that 
executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)

competitiveness and reasonableness
acceptability to shareholders
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation
transparency
capital management

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

Executive remuneration policy and framework
Alignment to shareholders’ interests:
(cid:120)
(cid:120)

focuses on sustained growth in share price as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
attracts and retains high calibre executives.

Alignment to program participants’ interests:
rewards capability and experience
(cid:120)
reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
(cid:120)
provides recognition for contribution.
(cid:120)

The framework provides a blend of fixed pay, and short and long-term incentives. 

The executive pay and reward framework has three components:
base pay and benefits, including superannuation
(cid:120)
short-term performance incentives, and
(cid:120)
long-term incentives through participation in the QRxPharma Limited Employee Share Option Plan.
(cid:120)

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

Base pay and benefits
Structured as a total employment package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial 
benefits at the executives’ discretion.

Executives  are  offered  a  competitive  base  pay  that  comprises  the  fixed  component  of  pay  and  rewards.  Base  pay  for 
executives  is  reviewed  annually  and  every  two  years  a  market  survey  is  conducted  to  ensure  the  executive’s  pay  is 
competitive with the market. An executive’s pay is also reviewed on promotion.

There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any executives’ contracts.

Executives receive other incidental benefits.

Superannuation
The Group does not maintain a Group superannuation plan. The Group makes fixed percentage contributions for Australian 
resident employees to complying third party superannuation funds and where requested, for US resident employees to 
complying pension plans.

Short-term incentives
A variable cash incentive component is payable annually dependent upon achievement of performance targets. Individual 
performance targets are set by reference to components of the Group's business plan for which the individual executive is 
responsible. Maximum bonuses are available to 50% of base pay.  

Each executive has a target short-term incentive opportunity depending on the accountabilities of the role and impact on 
the organisation. Each year, the remuneration committee considers the appropriate targets and key performance indicators 
(KPI’s) for each executive. For the year ended 30 June 2017, no short-term incentives were set.

Long-term incentives
Long-term incentives are provided to certain executives through participation in the QRxPharma Limited Employee Share 
Option Plan, which was approved by shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of members held on 24 April 2007.

QRxPharma Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2017
(continued)

Remuneration report (continued)

The QRxPharma Limited Employee Share Option Plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for executives to deliver 
long-term shareholder value and as an additional mechanism to attract and retain high calibre executives. Participation in 
the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any 
guaranteed benefits. The vesting period for each option issued up to 31 December 2008 is 3 years, or as varied by the 
board, one-third vesting 12 months from the date of grant and the balance vesting equally each year over the remaining 
two  year  period.  Options  issued  from  1  January  2009  generally  vest  over  3  years  with  the  initial  vesting  on  the  first 
anniversary of the date of the grant and subsequent vestings in 8 equal tranches on the first day of each calendar quarter 
over the following 2 years.  Most option grants generally have a seven year life, after which time, if they are not exercised, 
the options are forfeited.  Options are granted under the plan for no consideration. 

Details  of  the  remuneration  of  the  directors  and  the  key  management  personnel  (as  defined  in  AASB  124  Related  Party 
Disclosures) of QRxPharma Limited and the Group are set out in the following tables.

Corporate governance statement
30 June 2017

Corporate governance statement

QRxPharma  Limited  (Company)  and  the  board  are  committed  to  achieving  and  demonstrating  the  highest  standards  of 
corporate governance. The board guides and monitors the Group’s activities on behalf of shareholders. In developing policies 
and setting standards, the board considers the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations  (3rd  Edition). The  Company  and  its  controlled  entities  together  are  referred  to  as  the  Group  in  this 
statement.

During the 2015 financial year, the board was reduced to two non- executive directors and with no executive directors. With 
the decision during that financial year to discontinue the development of the Company’s principal asset, the board considered 
it prudent not to pursue the appointment of any additional director(s) until it had explored all strategic alternatives for the Group
and  its assets.  With the board placing the  Company into  Voluntary Administration on 22 May 2015 the management and 
control of the Company vested in Timothy Heesh and Amanda Lott as Joint and Several Administrators (Administrators) to the 
Company.  This  situation  prevailed  until  a  Deed  of  Company  Arrangement  was  wholly  effectuated  on  23  December  2015, 
returning the management and control of the Company to the board. The Company has been suspended from quotation on
the ASX since 22 May 2015.

On 19 May 2016 the only senior executive Chief Financial Officer (CFO) / Company Secretary Chris Campbell received notice 
of his termination and his employment ceasing on 19 August 2016. From this point on the Group did not employ any senior 
executives. This remained at 30 June 2017. 

A description of the Group’s main corporate governance practices is set out below. Given the above circumstances, the Group 
could  not  fully  comply  with  all  aspects  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  - 3rd  Edition
(Principles) through the 2017 financial year.

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The relationship between the board and senior management is critical to the Group’s long-term success. The directors are 
responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the Group in both the short and the longer term and seek to balance 
sometimes  competing  objectives  in  the  best  interests  of  the  Group  as  a  whole.  Their  focus  is  to  enhance  the  interests  of 
shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly managed.

1.1 Responsibilities of the Board

The responsibilities of the board include:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

facilitating accountability to the Group and its shareholders; 
ensuring timely reporting to shareholders; 
providing strategic guidance to management including contributing to the development of and approving the corporate 
strategy
reviewing and approving business plans, the annual budget and financial plans including available resources and major 
capital raising or expenditure initiatives
overseeing and monitoring:

o

organisational performance and the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals and objectives
compliance with the Group’s corporate governance policies and procedures 
progress in relation to the Company’s diversity objectives and compliance with its diversity policy
progress  of  major  capital  expenditures  and  other  significant  corporate  projects  including  any  acquisitions  or 
divestments

monitoring  financial  performance  including  approval  of  the  annual  and  half-year  financial  reports  and  liaison  with  the 
Company’s auditors
appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the CEO
ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the members of the senior 
management team 
ensuring there are effective management processes in place and approving major corporate initiatives
enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organisation
overseeing the operation of the Group’s system for compliance and risk management reporting to shareholders
ensuring appropriate resources are available to senior management.

Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are 
formally  delegated  by  the  board  to  the  CEO  and  senior  executives. With  a significant reduction  in  headcount, many  of 
these delegations reverted to the board, particularly as the office of CEO has been vacant since 16 January 2015.

-14-

QRxPharma Limited
Corporate governance statement
30 June 2017
(continued)

Subject to the Administrator being in place through to 23 December 2015 and the limitations of there being only two directors,
the  board  operated in  accordance  with  the  broad  principles  set in  the  Board  Charter  a  copy  of  which is  available  at 
www.qrxpharma.com/corporate-governance.

1.2 Director appointment and election

The Company conducts appropriate background checks before it appoints a person or puts forward to shareholders a new 
candidate for election as a director. The Company also provides shareholders with all material information in its possession 
relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director in the notice of meeting provided to shareholders. This 
includes information relevant to shareholders to be able to assess the director’s skills and competencies, industry experience, 
time commitments and other relevant information in their consideration of that election.

The commitments of non-executive directors are considered by the nomination committee prior to the directors’ appointment 
to the board of the Company.

The Company’s Constitution specifies that all directors excluding the Managing Director (if appointed) must retire from office 
no later than the third annual general meeting (AGM) following their last election. 

1.3 Written Agreements with Directors and Senior Executives

Formal letters of appointment were issued to Timothy Heesh and John Rainbow upon appointment in October 2016.

Senior executives are required to sign employment agreements that set out the key terms of their employment.

1.4 Company Secretary

The  Company  Secretary  supports  the  effective  functioning  of  the  board  and  its  committees.  The  Company  Secretary  is 
accountable directly to the board, through the Chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the board. The directors 
have direct access to the Company Secretary.

1.5 Diversity objectives and achievement

The  Company  values  diversity  and  recognises  the  benefits  it  can  bring  to  the  organisation’s  ability  to achieve  its  goals. 
Accordingly, the Company has a Diversity Policy a copy of which is available at www.qrxpharma.com/corporate-governance.

This policy outlines the establishment of the Company’s diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background 
and ethnicity. It includes requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving  diversity, and for the 
board to assess annually both the objectives, and the Company’s progress in achieving them.

With the significant reduction in headcount the board set aside establishing and reviewing measurable objectives to achieve 
diversity. At 30 June 2017 there were no females on the board nor holding a senior executive role.

1.6 Board, committee and director performance 

The performance of the board and board committees are reviewed periodically. Given the circumstances that prevailed during 
the 2017 financial year the board has not undertaken a self-assessment of its collective performance and its committees.    

1.7 CEO and senior executive performance

The performance of the CEO and senior executives are reviewed annually. With the significant reduction in headcount the 
board  set  aside  the  review  process.  No senior  executive  roles  remained  at  30  June  2017. The  CFO  received  notice  of
termination on 19 May 2016 with employment ceasing on 19 August 2016. 

The office of CEO has been vacant since 16 January 2015.

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value

2.1 Board committees

The board has established a number of committees to assist in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed consideration
of  complex  issues.  Current  committees  of  the  board  are  the  Nominations,  Remuneration  and, Audit  and Risk  committees. 
Details of the composition of each committee are included later in this report. Details of directors’ qualifications and attendance 
at committee meetings are set out in the directors’ report on page 5.

Each  committee  has  its  own  written  charter  setting  out  its  role  and  responsibilities,  composition,  structure,  membership 
requirements and the manner in which the committee is to operate. Where applicable, matters determined by committees are 
submitted to the full board as recommendations for board decisions.

-15-

QRxPharma Limited
Corporate governance statement
30 June 2017
(continued)

2.1.1 Nominations committee

The members  of  the  Nominations  Committee  are  John  Rainbow  and  Timothy  Heesh  being  independent,  non-executive 
directors.

During the 2017 financial year, the committee’s composition did not comply with the Principles in that it did not include at least 
three  members  but  was  suitably  structured  and  qualified  to  fully  discharge  its  responsibilities  at  the  relevant  stage  of  the 
Company’s development.

Given the circumstances that prevailed during the year the Nomination Committee did not meet.

The main responsibilities of the committee are to:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)
(cid:120)

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

conduct an annual review of the membership of the board having regard to present and future needs of the Company 
and to make recommendations on board composition and appointments
conduct an annual review of and conclude on the independence of each director
propose candidates for board vacancies
oversee the annual performance assessment program
oversee board succession, including the succession of the Chair, and reviewing whether succession plans are in place 
to maintain an appropriately balanced mix of skills, experience and diversity on the board
manage the processes in relation to meeting board diversity objectives
assess the effectiveness of the induction process.

Whilst the Nominations Committee may recommend new  director candidates, it is the full board that is responsible for the 
actual appointment of new directors, and any candidate appointed must stand for election at the next annual general meeting 
of the Company. The committee’s nomination of existing directors for reappointment is also not automatic and is contingent 
on their past performance, contribution to the Company and the current and future needs of the board and Company.

2.2 Board skills

The board seeks to ensure that:

(cid:120)

at any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between directors with experience and knowledge 
of the Group and directors with an external or fresh perspective
the size of the board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision-making
the board is giving careful consideration to the composition of the board and the optimum mix of skills and experience 

(cid:120)
(cid:120)
required for the Company at this stage.

The board assessed its capabilities against the above and considered that it collectively had the appropriate experience given 
the circumstances that prevailed during the 2017 financial year.

2.3 Board members

Details of the members of the board, their experience, expertise, qualifications and term of office are set out in the directors’ 
report under the heading “Information on directors” on page 4. At the end of the 2017 financial year and up to the date of 
signing of the directors’ report there are only two non-executive directors.

Timothy Heesh and John Rainbow are considered independent directors.

The number of meetings of the Company’s board of directors and of each board committee held during the year ended 30 
June 2017, and the number of meetings attended by each director is disclosed on page 5 of the Annual Report.

2.4 Directors’ independence

The board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors’ independence. These state that to be deemed independent, 
a director must be a non-executive and the board should consider whether the director:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

is  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the  Company  or  an  officer  of,  or  otherwise  associated  directly  with,  a  substantial 
shareholder of the Company
is or has been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or any other Group member, within three years before 
commencing to serve on the board
within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company 
or any other Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or any other Group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated 
directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or a controlled entity other than as a director of the Group
is free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with 
the director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Group.

The board regularly assesses director independence having regard to the criteria outlined in the Principles. To enable this 

-16-

QRxPharma Limited
Corporate governance statement
30 June 2017
(continued)

process, the directors must provide all information that may be relevant to the assessment. During the 2017 financial year 
Timothy Heesh and John Rainbow consider themselves to be independent.

2.5 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The Chair is responsible for leading the board, ensuring directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and 
responsibilities, facilitating board discussions and managing the board’s relationship with the Group’s senior executives. With 
the current board of two independent non-executive directors, the Company has yet to appoint a Chair of the board 

The CEO is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. As part of the headcount reduction, the office of CEO 
has been vacant since 16 January 2015.

2.6 Director induction and professional development

All new directors participate in an informal induction programme that covers the operation of the board and its committees, 
and an overview of the Group’s core programmes, key strategy, financial and relevant operational documents. 

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly

3.1 Code of Conduct

The Company adopted a statement of values and a Code of Conduct (the Code) which has been fully endorsed by the board 
and applies to all directors and employees. The Code is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the
highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity 
and to take into account legal obligations and reasonable expectations of the Company’s stakeholders.

In  summary,  the  Code  requires  that  at  all  times  all  Company  personnel  act  with  the  utmost  integrity,  objectivity  and  in
compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and Company policies. 

A copy of the Code is available on the company’s website at www.qrxpharma.com/corporate-governance.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting

4.1 Audit and Risk Committee

The members of the Audit and Risk Committee are Timothy Heesh and John Rainbow, being independent, non-executive 
directors.

Details of directors’ qualifications and attendance at audit committee meetings are set out in the directors’ report on pages 
4 to 5.

During the 2017 financial year, the committee’s composition did not comply with the Principles in that it did not include at 
least three members but was suitably structured and qualified to fully discharge its responsibilities at the relevant stage 
of the Company’s development.

The main responsibilities of the committee include:
(cid:120)

effectiveness and efficiency of operations
reliability of financial reporting

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

-17-

Corporate governance statement
30 June 2017
(continued)

from any employee or external party.

4.2 CEO and CFO Declarations for financial statements

Before the board approves the Company’s financial statements, the CEO and CFO/or CFO equivalent are required to 
provide a declaration that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and that the 
financial  statements  comply  with  the  appropriate  accounting  standards  and  give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  financial 
position  and  performance  of  the  entity  and  that  the  opinion  has  been  formed  on  the  basis  of  a  sound  system  of  risk 
management and internal control which is operating effectively.   

As the office of CEO has been vacant since 16 January 2015, and the office of CFO vacant from 19 August 2017 the 
current Company Secretary, Cameron Jones provided a declaration to the board in respect of the financial statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2017.

4.3 External auditors

The Company and Audit and Risk Committee policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and 
independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually. The current external auditors, Pitcher 
Partners were appointed in December 2016. It is Pitcher Partners’ policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed 
companies at least every five years.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a breakdown of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the 
directors’ report and in note 18 to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditors to provide an annual 
declaration of their independence to the Audit and Risk Committee.

The external auditor attends each annual general meeting (AGM) and is available to answer shareholder questions about 
the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report.

Principles 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure

5.1 Continuous disclosure

The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy that focuses on continuous disclosure of any information concerning 
the Group that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the Company’s securities. 

The  Company  Secretary  has  been  nominated  as  the  person  responsible  for  communications  with  the  ASX.  This  role 
includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and 
overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

All disclosures made to the ASX, and all information provided to analysts or the media during briefings are promptly posted 
on the Company’s website. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information 
has  been  inadvertently  disclosed  and, if so,  this  information  is  also  immediately  released  to  the  market. A copy  of  the 
Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.qrxpharma.com/corporate-governance.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders

6.1 Information on website

The Company provides information about itself and its governance on its website at www.qrxpharma.com.

6.2 Communication with investors

The  Company  has  a  Shareholder  Communication  Policy  to  promote  communication  with  shareholders. The  Company 
recognises that shareholders may not be aware of all company developments at all times, notwithstanding the release of 
information to the ASX in accordance the Company’s continuous disclosure policy and the law. A copy of the Shareholder 
Communication Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.qrxpharma.com/corporate-governance.

6.3 Participation at Annual General Meeting (AGM)

The  board  encourages  full  participation  by  shareholders  at  the  AGM  to  ensure  high  level  of  director  accountability  to 
shareholders  and  to  enhance  shareholders’  identification  with  the  Group’s  strategy  and  goals.  The  AGM  provides  an 
opportunity for the board to communicate with shareholders through both the Chairman’s and CEO address. Shareholders
are given the opportunity, through the Chairman, to ask general questions of the board.

The AGM is generally held in November each year. The Notice of Meeting and related Explanatory Notes are distributed 
to shareholders in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act.

(continued)

6.4 Electronic communication with the company and its share registry

The Company gives shareholders the option to receive communications from, and send communications to the Company 
and its share registry. All shareholders have the option to receive a copy of the Company’s annual report electronically. In 
addition,  the  Company  seeks  to  provide  opportunities  for  shareholders  to  participate  through electronic  means.  All 
Company announcements, details of Company meetings and financial reports for the last three years are available on the 
Company’s  website. Where possible, the Company arranges for advance notification of significant Group briefings and 
makes them widely accessible, including through the use of mass communication mechanisms as may be practical.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

7.1 Audit and Risk Committee

The board is responsible for satisfying itself annually, or more frequently as required, that management has developed 
and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control. Detailed work on this task is delegated to the 
Audit and Risk Committee and reviewed by the full board as detailed in the Risk Management Policy. A copy of the Risk 
Management Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.qrxpharma.com/corporate-governance.

7.2 Risk assessment and management

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring there is an adequate framework in relation to risk 
management, compliance and internal control systems. In providing this oversight, the committee:
(cid:120)

reviews the framework and methodology for risk identification, the degree of risk the Company is willing to 
accept, the management of risk and the processes for auditing and evaluating the Company’s risk management 
system
reviews Group-wide objectives in the context of the abovementioned categories of corporate risk
reviews and, where necessary, approves guidelines and policies governing the identification, assessment and 
management of the Company’s exposure to risk
reviews and approves the delegations of financial authorities and addresses any need to update these 
authorities on an annual basis, and
reviews compliance with agreed policies.

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

The committee recommends any actions it deems appropriate to the board for its consideration.

Management is responsible for designing, implementing and reporting on the adequacy of the Company’s risk 
management and internal control system and has to report to the Audit and Risk Committee and the board on the 
effectiveness of:
(cid:120)
(cid:120)

the risk management and internal control system during the year, and
the Company’s management of its material business risks.

No formal review was undertaken in the financial year ending 30 June 2017.

7.3 Internal audit function

Given the size of the Company, there is no internal audit function. As detailed in section 7.2 detailed risk assessments 
are carried out in respect of a wide range of items, and where appropriate and possible, risk mitigation strategies are 
implemented to minimise the chance of the risks occurring, and to minimise any impact where a risk eventuates.   

7.4 Sustainability risks and management   

The Company monitors its exposure to risks, including economic, environmental and social sustainability risks. Material 
risks identified for the Company, including economic risk, are set out in the Directors’ Report at page 4.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

8.1 Remuneration Committee

The members of the Remuneration Committee are Timothy Heesh and John Rainbow, being independent, non-executive 
directors. Given the circumstances that prevailed during the year the Remuneration Committee did not meet.

The Remuneration Committee assists the board to discharge its responsibilities to attract and retain senior executives and 
directors who will create value for shareholders. The Remuneration Committee advises the board on remuneration and 
incentive  policies  and  practices  generally,  and  makes  specific  recommendations  on  remuneration  packages  and  other 
terms of employment for senior executives and directors.

8.2 Non-executive and executive remuneration

Each member of the senior executive team signs a formal employment contract at the time of their appointment covering 
a  range  of  matters  including  their  duties,  rights,  responsibilities  and  any  entitlements  on  termination.  Each  role  has  a 
position description which is reviewed by the CEO (or the committee in the case of the CEO) and the relevant executive. 
Further  information  on  directors’  and  executives’  remuneration  is  set  out  in  the  Directors’  Report  under  the  heading
''Remuneration Report''. 

Executive  directors  and  senior  management  receive  a  mix  of  fixed  pay,  performance based  remuneration  and  stock 
options.

Non-executive director remuneration consists of director fees and does not include any bonus payments. No stock options 
have been issued to the current board members. Non-executive directors do not receive termination/retirement benefits,
whereas executive directors and senior management are entitled to termination payments in accordance with the terms of 
their contracts.

8.3 Prohibition on hedging of unvested/restricted entitlements

Participants in the Company’s equity based remuneration plan (QRxPharma Limited Employee Share Option Plan) are not 
permitted to enter into any transactions that would limit the economic risk of issued Options. This prohibition is specifically 
addressed  in  the  rules  of  the  Share Option  Plan (rather  than  in  the  Company’s  Securities Trading  Policy). Pursuant  to 
these rules an Option holder may not assign, transfer or encumber in any way issued Options. This does not prevent the 
exercise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Share Option Plan of Options by the estate of a deceased 
Option holder. The Company has not issued any other unvested entitlements that could be subject to hedging.

QRxPharma Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2017
(continued)

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

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

a)

Basis of preparation

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards, 
Interpretations  and  other  authoritative  pronouncements  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the 
Corporations Act 2001. QRxPharma Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

(i)
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 
1 July 2016 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future 
periods.

(ii) Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of QRxPharma Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (IASB). The  consolidated  financial  statements  were 
authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 September 2017.

(iii) Historical cost convention
These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  as  modified  by  the  revaluation  of 
available-for-sale financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

(iv) Critical accounting estimates
The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity with Australian  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards (AIFRS)
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process
of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where 
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

(v) Early adoption of standards
The Group has elected not to apply any pronouncement before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 
1 July 2016.

b) Going concern  

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  the  continuity  of  normal 
business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Group incurred a net loss of $422,282 (2016: $1,762,120) and had net cash outflows 
from operating activities of $547,636 (2016: $2,420,437). As at 30 June 2017, the Group holds cash and cash equivalents of 
$626,297 (2016: $1,193,886). 

The going concern assessment has been made on the assumption that the Group will continue to settle its liabilities arising in
the ordinary course of its existing business with minimal operations.

The Board will continue to review potential opportunities for the Group and consider additional strategies to be undertaken by 
the  Group.  In  the  event  that  the  Group  commences  any  due  diligence  activities  associated  with  any  of  the  opportunities 
identified, then the Group is likely to incur additional costs for which it is likely to seek funding. At the date of this report no 
such  opportunities  have  been  identified.  The  cash  flow  forecast  prepared  by  the  Company  does  not  include  the  costs 
associated with any due diligence activities. 

In the event the potential opportunities are identified and the Company is unable to obtain funding to pursue such opportunities, 
significant uncertainty would exist as to the ability of the Company and the Group to continue as going concerns and therefore
whether they will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business. 

The  financial  statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and  classification  of  recorded  asset 
amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and the Group not 
continue as going concerns.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2017

c)

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries

(i)
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  QRxPharma  Limited 
(''Company'' or ''parent entity'') as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. QRxPharma 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) which are controlled by the Company. Control is achieved 
when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to 
affect  those  returns  through  its  power  over  the  investee.  Specifically,  the  Company  controls  an  investee  if  and  only  if  the 
Company has all the following:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

power  over  the  investee  (i.e.  existing  rights  that  give  it  the  current  ability  to  direct  the  relevant  activities  of  the 
investee);
exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to 
one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

(ii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity 
owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling 
and  non-controlling  interests  to  reflect  their  relative  interests  in  the  subsidiary.  Any  difference  between  the  amount  of  the 
adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity 
attributable to owners of QRxPharma Limited.

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured 
to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for 
the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset.
In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as 
if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets and liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in
other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If  the  ownership  interest  in  a  jointly-controlled  entity  or  an  associate  is  reduced  but  joint  control  or  significant  influence  is 
retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to 
profit or loss.

d)

Segment reporting

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

e)

(i)

Foreign currency translations

Functional and presentation currency 

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of  the  Group’s  entities  are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary 
economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (‘the  functional  currency’).  The  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is QRxPharma Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii)

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of 
the  transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in 
the statement of comprehensive income, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying 
net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement on a net basis within other income or net foreign 
exchange loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date 
when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part
of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held 
at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences 
on  non-monetary  assets  such  as  equities  classified  as  available-for-sale  financial  assets  are  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(continued)

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) 
that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date 
of that statement of financial position

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

income and expenses for each profit and loss item are translated at the exchange rate on the date of the transactions, 
and

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings 
and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to other comprehensive income.  When 
a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of  the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such 
exchange  differences  are  recognised  in  the  profit  and  loss  as  part  of  the  gain  or  loss  on  sale  where  applicable.

f)

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of
returns and trade allowances. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is
probable  that  future  economic  benefits  will  flow  to  the  entity  and  specific  criteria  have  been  met  for  each  of  the  Group's 
activities as described below. The Group bases its estimates on current available information, taking into consideration the 
type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

g)

Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable/receivable on the current period’s taxable income based 
on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is
not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination 
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using
tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply 
when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

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

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases 
of  investments  in  controlled  entities  where  the  parent  entity  is  able  to  control  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary 
differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Tax consolidation legislation
QRxPharma Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

The head entity, QRxPharma Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current 
and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a 
stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.

h)

Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not
be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable 
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of 
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which 
are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units).  

Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at 
each reporting date.

i)

Cash and cash equivalents

For the statement of cashflows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at 
call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that 
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank 
overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Investments and other financial assets

Classification
The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and 
receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose 
for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition 
and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

(i)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this 
category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless 
they are designated as hedges. 

Loans and receivables

(ii)
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet 
date  which  are  classified  as  non-current  assets.  Loans  and  receivables  are  included  in  trade  and  other  receivables  in  the 
balance sheet (note 9).

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that 
the  Group’s  management  has  the  positive  intention  and  ability  to  hold  to  maturity.  If  the  Group  were  to  sell  other  than  an 
insignificant  amount  of  held-to-maturity financial  assets,  the  whole  category  would  be  tainted  and  reclassified  as 
available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less 
than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in 
this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment 
matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.  Investments 
are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management 
intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value 
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs 
of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. 
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are 
presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.

Impairment
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of 
financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred
only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of 
the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset 
or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a 
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are 
impaired.

(i)  Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the 
present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the 
financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is
recognised  in  the  consolidated  income  statement.  If  a  loan  or  held-to-maturity  investment  has  a  variable  interest  rate,  the 
discount  rate  for  measuring  any  impairment  loss  is  the  current  effective  interest  rate  determined  under  the  contract.  As  a 
practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market 
price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an 
event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of
the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

(ii) Assets classified as available-for-sale
If  there  is  objective  evidence  of  impairment  for  available-for-sale  financial  assets,  the  cumulative  loss – measured  as  the 
difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously 
recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment  losses  on  equity  instruments  that  were  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  are  not  reversed  through  profit  or  loss  in  a 
subsequent period.

If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be 
objectively  related  to  an  event  occurring  after  the  impairment  loss  was  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  the  impairment  loss  is 
reversed through profit or loss.

k)

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at historical costs less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual
values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

- Plant and equipment

4-5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.

l)

Intangible assets

Intellectual property

(i)  
Costs  incurred  in  acquiring  intellectual  property  are  capitalised  and  amortised  on  a  straight  line  basis  of  the  period  of  the
expected benefit. 

Costs include only those costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the intellectual property.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(h)).

(ii)   Research and development
Research  expenditure  on  internal  development  projects  is  recognised  as  an  expense  as  incurred.  Costs  incurred  on 
development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets 
when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate 
future economic benefits and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable 
costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development 
expenditures  that  do  not  meet  these  criteria  are  recognised  as  an  expense  as  incurred.    Development  costs  previously 
recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are recorded 
as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight-line basis over its useful 
life.

m) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting 
date.

n)

Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are 
classified as operating leases (note 19). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) 
are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

o)

Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits  expected  to  be  settled  wholly  within  12  months  of  the 
reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured 
at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

-31-

QRxPharma Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2017
(continued)

(ii) Annual leave and long service leave
The liability for long service leave and annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits 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. 
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 currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(iii) Retirement benefit obligations
The Group does not maintain a Group superannuation plan. The Group makes fixed percentage contributions for all Australian 
resident employees to complying third party superannuation funds. The Group's legal or constructive obligation is limited to 
these contributions.

Contributions to complying third party superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid 
contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(iv) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the QRxPharma Limited Employee Share Option Plan. 
Information relating to this scheme is set out in note 24.

The fair value of options granted under the QRxPharma Limited Employee Share Option Plan is recognised as an employee 
benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the 
period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the 
exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the 
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market 
vesting  conditions  (for  example,  profitability  and  sales  growth  targets).    Non-market  vesting  conditions  are  included  in 
assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable.  At each balance sheet date, the entity 
revises  its  estimate  of  the  number  of  options  that  are  expected  to  become  exercisable.  The  employee  benefit  expense 
recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.  The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any,
is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

(v) Bonus plans
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses in accordance  with the terms of employment contracts. The 
Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive 
obligation.

(vi) Employee benefit on-costs
Employee  benefit  on-costs,  are  recognised  and  included  in  the  employee  benefit  liabilities  and  costs  when  the  employee 
benefits to which they relate are recognised.

(vii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee 
accepts  voluntary  redundancy  in  exchange  for  these  benefits.  The  Group  recognises  termination  benefits  when  it  is 
demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without 
possibility of withdrawal or to providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. 
Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.

p) 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. 

q)

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

(i)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs
of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the  weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 
financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

(cid:120)
(cid:120)

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion 
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

r)

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST, unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 
the expense.

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable or  payable.    The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

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

s)

Rounding of amounts

In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Director’s Reports) Instrument 2016/191, the amounts in the 
directors’ report and in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar (where indicated).

t)

Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, QRxPharma Limited, disclosed in note 23 has been prepared on the same basis 
as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities

(i)
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of QRxPharma Limited. 

Tax consolidation legislation

(ii)
QRxPharma Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

The head entity, QRxPharma Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current 
and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a 
stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.

(iii) Share-based payments
The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is 
treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee services received, measured by 
reference  to  the  grant  date  fair  value,  is  recognised  over  the  vesting  period  as  an  increase  to  investment  in  subsidiary 
undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

u) New accounting standards and interpretations

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting 
period, resulting in no changes to accounting policy changes and no changes to recognition and measurement.  

Various other Standards and Interpretations were on issue but were not yet effective at the date of authorisation of the 
financial report. The issue of these Standards and Interpretations does not affect the Group’s present policies and 
operations. The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will not 
materially affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements of the Group but may change the disclosure presently 
made in the financial statements of the Group.

      v)

Prior period error

During the year, certain prior period errors were discovered in the historical accounting treatment. The comparative financial
information has been retrospectively restated in accordance with AASB 108 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting 
Estimates and Errors’.

The Company provides staff with the opportunity to invest in the shares of the Company under an Employee Share Option 
Plan agreement. The options were granted to staff with an expiry date of four years and a non-market performance condition 
linked to the successful approval of the MoxDuo product by the United States Food and Drug Administration. As at August 
2014 the MoxDuo program was halted and the Company was placed in Administration from 22 May 2015. It is at the date 
that the Company entered Administration that the options were considered to have expired.
The effect of the prior period error is a decrease in the Accumulated Losses and a decrease in the share based payment 
reserve of $131,976 for the period ended 30 June 2015 and subsequent periods.

The impact of these errors is summarized below:

2 Financial risk management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit 
risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets 
and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial
instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures from time to time. Derivatives are exclusively 
used  for  hedging  purposes,  not  as  trading  or  other  speculative  instruments.  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  invested 
exclusively with ‘A’ rated financial institutions, at a minimum, with capital preservation being the stated investment objective. 
Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the board of directors.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Other financial assets

Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is currently exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposure to the US dollar. Foreign exchange 
risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not 
the entity’s functional currency.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Cash at bank
Other financial asset

Group sensitivity
The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange movements is not material.

-

(ii) Price risk 
The Group and the parent entity are not exposed to equity securities price risk or commodity price risk.

(iii) Cash flow and interest rate risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from the holding of cash and cash equivalents. During the year, the Group held its
funds at bank which limited the exposure of the Group’s income and operating cash flows to changes in market interest rates.

The value of borrowings at 30 June 2017 was $nil (2016: $nil), thus limiting the Group’s exposure to any cash flow risk in 
relation to liabilities.  

Group sensitivity
The Group’s exposure to interest rate movements is not material.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk  is  managed  on a Group basis.  Credit risk  arises from cash  and cash  equivalents and deposits  with banks and 
financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are
acceptable. At 30 June 2017, cash equivalents were held with financial institutions rated Aa2 / A2 by Moody’s.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities.

The Group has experienced recurring operating losses and operating cash outflows since inception to 30 June 2017. Due to 
negative operating cash flow position, the Group has not committed to any credit facilities and relied upon equity financing 
through private and public equity investors. 

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected 
cash flows. The Group’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the 
level of liquid assets necessary to meet these.

(d) Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure
purposes.

AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value 
measurement hierarchy: 

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

inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within  level  1  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or  liability,  either  directly  (as 
prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2), and
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

(c)

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The 
Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at the end of each 
reporting period. Quoted market prices for similar instruments and recent transactions are used to estimate fair value. 

The carrying value of trade and other payables and receivables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their 
short-term nature.

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including 
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.

4 Segment information

Based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (the chief operating decision makers) in 
assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources, the Group has determined that it operates  within a 
single operating segment. The operating segment is that of the research and development of biopharmaceutical products for 
commercial sale.

The QRxPharma Limited Employee Share Option Plan (Limited ESOP) was approved by shareholders at the extraordinary 
general meeting of members held on 24 April 2007. 

Under the Limited ESOP shares may be issued by the Company to eligible employees at an exercise price as determined 
by the remuneration committee, being not less than the share price on the grant date of the options.  Any person who is 
employed by, or is a director, officer, executive or consultant of the Company or any related body corporate of the Company 
and whom the remuneration committee determines is eligible to participate in the option plan are eligible to participate in 
the plan. Employees may elect not to participate in the scheme.

QRxPharma Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2017
(continued)

The total number of shares that shall be reserved for issuance under the option plan shall not exceed ten per cent (10%) 
of the Diluted Ordinary Share Capital in the Company as at the date of issue of the relevant options under the option plan, 
subject to changes in capitalisation as provided in clause 16.3 of the option plan. The approval of the Company’s 
shareholders must be obtained for any amendment to the option plan in relation to:
(a) increasing the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the option plan;
(b) any change in the class of employees eligible to receive options under the option plan;
(c) any change in the shares reserved for issuance under the option plan; and
(d) substitution of another entity in place of the Company as the issuer of shares under the option plan.

Options will lapse if they are not exercised before the expiration date or if the option holder leaves the employment of the 
Group. 

Options  granted  under  the  plan  carry  no  dividend  or  voting  rights.  The  vesting  period  for  each  option  issued  up  to  31 
December 2008 is 3 years, or as varied by the board, one-third vesting 12 months from the date of grant and the balance 
vesting equally each year over the remaining two year period. Options issued from 1 January 2009 generally vest over 3 
years with the initial vesting on the first anniversary of the date of the grant and subsequent vestings in 8 equal tranches 
on the first day of each calendar quarter over the following 2 years. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one 
ordinary share and entitles the holder to the same ordinary share rights as set out in note 15. Shares issued under the 
scheme may be sold at the expiration of any Restriction Agreement between the eligible employee and the Company. Such 
restrictions  may  be  imposed  by  the  remuneration  committee  upon  the  grant  of  options  under  the  option  plan  and  such 
restrictions will be contained in the Option Agreement between the eligible employee and the Company. In all other respects 
the shares rank equally with other fully paid ordinary shares on issue (refer to note 15(c)).

Key Audit Matters 

Key  audit matters are those  matters that,  in  our professional judgement, were of most significance  in  our audit of 
the financial  report of the current year.  These  matters were addressed  in  the context of our audit of the financial 
report as  a whole, and  in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Key Audit Matter 
Going Concern 

Refer to Note l(b) of the summary of 
significant accounting policies. 

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter 

The  Directors  have  determined  that the  use  if  Our procedures included, amongst others: 
the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting 
is 
appropriate  in  preparing  the  financial  report 
taking  into  consideration  the  forecast  cash 
flows for the following twelve months. 

•  Reviewing  and  challenging  the  judgements,  assumptions 
and  estimates  used  in  the  cash  flow  forecast  for  the  year 
ending 30 June 2018, approved  by the directors; 

Note l(b) discloses that for the year ended  30 
June  2017,  the  Group  reported  a  net  loss  of 
$422,282  and  had  net  cash  outflows  from 
operating  activities  $547,636  for  the  year 
ended  30  June  2017 . As  at  30  June  2017,  the 
Group  had  cash  assets  of  $626,297  and  net 
assets of $616,922. 

The  cash  flow  forecast  includes  significant 
judgements,  assumptions  and  estimates  such 
as future revenue and  expenditure. 

In  assessing  this  key  audit matter, we  involved 
senior  audit  team  members  who  understand 
the Group's structure. 

•  Checking  the  mathematical  accuracy  of  the  cash  flow 
forecast  for  the  year  ending  30  June  2018  and  agreed 
opening cash  balances to third  party reports; 

•  Performing sensitivity analysis  on  the cash  flow forecast to 
determine the extent of changes  necessary to result in  the 
Group  not  having  sufficient  resources  to  meet its  forecast 
liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the 
date of the report; 

•  Assessing  the  ability of the Group to  curtail  expenditure as 
required  in  order  to  manage  cash  outflows  within  the 
existing levels of available funding; 

•  Considering the adequacy of the disclosures in  Note l(b) . 

Other Information - The  annual report is not complete at the date of the audit report. 

The  directors are  responsible for the other information. The  other information comprises the information 
included  in the Corporate Directory,  Directors Report,  Shareholders Information and  Corporate Governance 
Statement, which was obtained as  at the date of our audit report, and  any other information included in the 
Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June  2017,  but does not include the financial  report and  our 
auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on  the financial  report does not cover the other information and 
accordingly we do  not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon . 

In  connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read  the other information above and, 
in  doing so,  consider whether the other information is  materially inconsistent with the financial  report or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be  materially misstated . If,  based  on the work we have 
performed, we conclude that there is  a material misstatement of this other information, we  are  required to 
report that fact. We  have  nothing to  report in this regard.

When we  read the other information not yet received  as  identified above, if we conclude that there is  a material 
misstatement therein, we are  required to communicate the matter to the directors and  use  our professional 
judgment to determine the appropriate action to take. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The  directors of the Company are  responsible for the preparation of the financial  report that gives a true and  fair 
view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Act 2001  and  for  such  internal 
control  as  the directors determine  is  necessary to enable  the  preparation of the  financial  report that gives  a true 
and fair view and  is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In  preparing the financial  report, the directors are  responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as 
a going concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters related  to going concern  and  using  the going concern  basis  of 
accounting  unless  the  directors  either intend  to  liquidate  the  Group  or to  cease  operations,  or  has  no  realistic 
alternative but to do so. 

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial report as  a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue  an  auditor's report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance  is  a high  level of assurance,  but is  not a guarantee that an  audit conducted in  accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists . Misstatements 
can  arise from fraud or error and  are  considered  material if, individually or in  the aggregate, they could 
reasonably be  expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on  the basis of this financial  report. 

As  part of an  audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise  professional judgement and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and  assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial  report, whether due to fraud  or error, 
design and  perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,  and  obtain audit evidence that is sufficient 
and  appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The  risk of not detecting a material misstatement 
resulting from fraud  is  higher than for one  resulting from error, as fraud  may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions,  misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an  understanding of internal control  relevant to the audit in  order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in  the circumstances,  but not for the purpose of expressing an  opinion on the effectiveness of 
the Group's internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used  and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and  related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use  of the going concern  basis  of accounting and,  based  on 
the audit evidence  obtained,  whether a material  uncertainty exists  related  to events or conditions that may 
cast  significant  doubt on  the  Group's  ability to  continue  as  a going  concern.  If we  conclude  that  a material 
uncertainty exists,  we  are  required  to draw attention in  our auditor's report to the  related  disclosures  in  the 
financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are  based  on the 
audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report . However, future events or conditions may cause 
the Group to cease to continue as  a going concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and  content of the financial  report, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial  report represents the underlying transactions and  events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation. 

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of the  entities  or  business 
activities within the Group to express an  opinion on the financial  report. We are  responsible for the direction, 
supervision and  performance of the Group audit. We  remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We  communicate  with the  directors regarding,  among  other matters,  the  planned  scope  and  timing of the  audit 
and  significant  audit findings,  including  any  significant deficiencies  in  internal  control that we  identify during our 
audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all  relationships and  other matters that may reasonably be thought 
to bear on  our independence, and  where applicable,  related  safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we  determine those matters that were of most significance in 
the audit of the financial  report of the current period  and  are therefore the  key  audit matters. We  describe these 
matters in  our auditor's report  unless  law or regulation  precludes  public disclosure  about the  matter or when,  in 
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should  not be  communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so  would  reasonably be  expected to outweigh the  public interest benefits of such 
communication.
