and  the CEO

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN & CEO

IPO and ASX Listing

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it gives us great 
pleasure to report on our progress to shareholders over 
the 12 months to 30 June 2014. The past year has seen 
several important milestones achieved for Regeneus 
and good progress in the development of our research 
and its commercialisation pathways. We completed 
our IPO and listed on the ASX; progressed our adipose 
(fat) derived stem cell product developments and 
early commercialisation activities; established an 
improved research facility to increase the capability 
and output of our research and development 
activities; and secured exclusive worldwide human 
and veterinary commercialisation rights to a novel 
therapeutic cancer vaccine developed by the Kolling 
Institute of Medical Research in Sydney. We can report 
a year of positive momentum and progress to our 
shareholders in the fast growing field of regenerative 
cell therapies.

Our financial results for the period were in line with 
expectations. A more detailed analysis of operations 
and financial results is set out in the Directors’ Report.  

In September 2013, we listed on the Australian 
Securities Exchange (ASX code – RGS) following an 
Initial Public Offer which raised $10.5 million in new 
equity via the issue of 42 million new shares at an issue 
price of $0.25 per share. This valued the company at 
$46 million post the IPO. The IPO introduced a number 
of new shareholders to the company and we welcome 
these new shareholders to our company. In addition to 
raising capital to fund the development of activities, 
this has raised the profile of Regeneus and what we 
are doing, as well as facilitating access to funding to 
accelerate our R&D and product development and 
commercialisation pathways.

Competitive Positioning and Product 
Pipeline Overview 

Regeneus is competitively positioned as an emerging 
leader in cell-based regenerative medicine with  a 
diversified and proprietary portfolio of innovative

00 Message from the Chairman  

and  the CEO

for human and veterinary health markets with a 
primary focus on musculoskeletal and oncology 
applications.   

We have been able to accelerate our product 
development pipeline through using personalised stem 
cell therapies to treat musculoskeletal conditions for 
both humans and animals.  Personalised cell therapies 
that use a patient’s own stem cells have much lower 
regulatory hurdles than off-the-shelf therapies that use 
donor cells.   

We have been able to use our clinical development 
experience in personalised cell therapies to advance 
our off-the-shelf cell therapies and we have used 
know-how from product developments for the 
veterinary applications to accelerate the development 
of similar products for human applications.

Our product pipeline is underpinned by 11 patent 
families which are owned and controlled by the 
company except for intellectual property licensed 
from the Kolling Institute of Medical Research in Sydney 
relating to the therapeutic cancer vaccine for both 
human and veterinary applications.

HUMAN HEALTH

HiQCell – a personalised (autologous) adipose (fat) 
derived stem cell therapy for human osteoarthritis and 
other musculoskeletal conditions

HiQCell is a simple, same day medical procedure 
supervised by a Regeneus licensed treating medical 
practitioner (TMP). 

Regeneus provides the TMP with optimal in-clinic cell 
processing, handling and storage facilities.  As the 
procedure uses a patient’s own cells, it is an exempt 
biological under the Australian Therapeutic Goods 
Administration regulatory framework.

HiQCell is focussed on the treatment gap between 
symptomatic pain medication and joint replacement. 
Osteoarthritis is a leading chronic disease in Australia 
(and other developed countries) with no current cure. 
It affects approximately 4 million Australians (17% of 
the population) and is estimated to grow to around 
7 million people by 2050. Currently, more than 80,000 
knee and hip replacements are performed annually 
in Australia, with numbers continuing to grow as the 
population ages.

HiQCell was launched in FY12 through a leading 
sports medicine practice in Sydney and expanded to 
Melbourne in FY14.

As at 30 June 2014, we had 12 sports medicine and 
orthopaedic specialists trained to perform the HiQCell 
treatments in Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast 
– an increase of 4 over the past 12 months. To date, 
more than 530 patients have received HiQCell with 
over 1,200 joints being treated. 

In June 2014, a HiQCell processing centre was 
established at the new East Sydney Private Hospital. 
HiQCell was the first ever procedure to be performed 
at the hospital. Five HiQCell treating medical 
practitioners are now accredited at the hospital.

We have identified Singapore as our first off-shore 
location to launch HiQCell for the treatment of arthritic

joints. Singapore is a hub for high end and innovative 
medical treatments in South East Asia. We are on track 
to launch our Singapore presence with first treatments 
likely in Q4 2014.  We are also exploring the market 
opportunity for HiQCell in the UK and are currently in 
discussions with potential UK medical partners. 

Our aim in FY15 is to continue growing treatment 
numbers by:

•  driving our new direct marketing and social 
media initiatives which we launched in  
June 2014

• 

increasing the activity levels and number of 
HiQCell licensed medical specialists in Australia

•  promoting the cryostorage option with  

HiQCell – as an enhancement to treatment 
outcomes, product differentiator and  
additional revenue stream 

•  publication of further positive HiQCell  

clinical data and a commitment to further 
clinical studies 

•  HiQCell being made available to treat 

neuropathic pain following the publication of 
the positive results of treatments in the Journal  
of Pain Research in May 2014

•  exploring other international markets and 

licensing options

Progenza – off-the-shelf (allogeneic) cell therapy 
treatment for human osteoarthritis

There is a significant opportunity for an effective 
off-the-shelf allogeneic cell therapy for human 
osteoarthritis. This is a large potential market. We have 
developed a proprietary product composition and 
production method for Progenza, leveraging our 
CryoShot technology platform and expertise.

We are on track to start our first-in-man trial (safety 
study) of Progenza in Q2 2015. 

After receiving ethics approval, we have procured 
adipose tissue from human donors and are producing 
stem cell banks for our clinical trial to assess initial safety 
and preliminary efficacy in human volunteers with 
knee OA.  We have partnered with Cryosite, which has 
a TGA registered facility for biologicals handling and 
storage, to establish a cell production facility in Sydney. 
This is part of a broader R&D exchange between 
the companies in relation to tissue handling, cell 
extraction and cell manufacturing.  This is an important 
milestone in taking our human allogeneic product for 
osteoarthritis through the regulatory approval process. 

The first batch of Progenza has been produced for 
a pre-clinical study that is now underway in the US.  
We are on track to have Progenza manufactured in 
preparation for the human safety trial in Sydney in Q2 
2015. Experiments demonstrate that more than 500,000 

units of product can be manufactured from one donor.

We have targeted the Japanese market following 
announcement in November 2013 of new accelerated 
cell therapy approval processes in Japan which  
may provide:

• 

limited safety and efficacy data for conditional 
licence

•  data reporting requirements through registry 

•  70% government reimbursement 

We understand that the Japanese regulations to 
support the new laws will be released later this year.  
This will provide important detail on the new framework 
for cell therapies which has been specifically designed 
to fast-track the approval of cell therapies like 
Progenza without the need for large and expensive 
Phase III trials. As part of our strategy, we are actively 
seeking to identify Japanese partners to work with in 
launching Progenza in the Japanese market.

Stem Cell Cream for inflammatory skin conditions

There is an increasing understanding in the scientific 
community of the importance of the role played 
by the secretions of stem cells. Stem cells secrete 
bioactive molecules (cytokines and growth factors) 
that modulate the immune system to decrease 
inflammation, stimulate repair and reduce scarring.  
We have developed a proprietary technology to 
process, capture and concentrate these cytokines 
and have identified that the cell secretions in a 
cream formulation have potential in the treatment of 
inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, rosacea 
and psoriasis. 

We are pursuing a commercialisation pathway through 
NICNAS (National Industrial Chemicals Notification and 
Assessment Scheme), the Federal Government body 
responsible for regulating cosmetics.

We have commenced a pre-clinical safety study on 
the secretions cream which will be completed by Q4 
2014. We also propose to complete additional safety 
and efficacy studies as part of NICNAS requirements.

We are optimising the scale-up of the cream 
manufacturing process to enable a cost effective 
product for early commercialisation.

Human Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine

In July 2014, Regeneus secured the exclusive 
worldwide rights for human applications of a new  
therapeutic cancer vaccine technology developed 
by the KolIing Institute of Medical Research at Royal 
North Shore Hospital in Sydney.  

The therapeutic cancer vaccine has the potential to 
target a wide range of cancers with a single product. 
As the vaccine uses the patient’s own tumour cells 
and can be prepared under the supervision of the 
treating clinician, the local regulatory environment 

  6

00 Message from the Chairman  

and  the CEO

for biological therapies in Australia (and other major 
markets) may allow for an accelerated clinical 
pathway for the autologous cancer vaccine removing 
the need for expensive and time consuming Phase  
III trials.  

Regeneus will fund a first-in-man trial (safety study) 
scheduled to commence in Q1 2015. Leading 
oncologists Professor Stephen Clarke and Associate 
Professor Nick Pavlakis, from the University of Sydney’s 
Northern Clinical School at the Kolling Institute, will be 
the investigators on the trial and good progress is being 
achieved in preparing for the submission of the ethics 
approval. 

VETERINARY HEALTH

CryoShot – Allogeneic adipose-derived stem cells to 
treat canine and equine osteoarthritis

One in five dogs suffer from osteoarthritis, with no 
current cure. The current treatment options are 
generally anti-inflammatories, which have a short term 
impact and can have side effects. The global market 
for animal anti-inflammatories is estimated to be about 
$500 million pa.

CryoShot targets a longer term and more effective 
pain management market for dogs and horses.

Our opportunity is for CryoShot to be the first registered 
allogeneic canine cell therapy for osteoarthritis.

Regeneus has been conducting extensive field trials 
in Australia collecting clinical data during product 
development. We currently have more than 80 vet 
practices in Australia participating in our CryoShot field 
trials for canine and equine musculoskeletal conditions; 
with more than 2,500 treatments administered to date. 
These results have been encouraging with a reduction 
in pain and improvement in mobility noted within 10 
days, with continued improvement for at least a month 
and then that improvement continuing up to  
12 months.

While CryoShot remains unregistered we will continue  
to focus on Clinical trials rather than significant  
revenue growth.

We are preparing a US registration trial for canine 
CryoShot and have commenced a supporting pilot 
double-blind placebo controlled trial in Australia with 
the latest specification of CryoShot. Initial data from 
the Australian trial should be available for analysis in  
Q4 2014.

In addition, we are well underway with leading 
biological manufacturer, Lonza, in the US on GMP 
(good manufacturing practice) of CryoShot for the 
registration trial.  
On an indicative basis, we are targeting the  
following dates:

•  Sign off on trial design, product characterisation 

and manufacture for FDA trial by Q2 2015

•  Target animal trial commenced by Q4 2015 

•  Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls  

package completed by Q2 2016 and  
approved in Q4 2016   

• 

 Product registered for US market by Q1 2017   

We will continue to explore our commercial partnering 
opportunities for the sales and marketing of CryoShot.    

Kvax – autologous canine cancer vaccine 

Kvax is a novel cancer vaccine technology that uses  
a dog’s own tumour cells as a source of therapy.  
The technology was developed at the Kolling Institute, 
Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney. Approximately  
27% of dogs will be diagnosed with cancer and  
48% of dogs over the age of 10 will die of tumour-
related illnesses.

Regeneus holds the exclusive worldwide commercial 
rights for the veterinary market. We will launch our Kvax 
product in Australia in Q3 2014. We have established a 
manufacturing capacity for the vaccine at our facility 
in Sydney and have commenced a marketing trial in 
connection with the launch of the product.      

We are actively exploring our commercial partner 
options for Kvax in the US market now that we have 
US Department of Agriculture (Center for Veterinary 
Biologics) regulatory clearance to proceed with 
commercialisation.  We have appointed Hennessey 
Research in the US to manufacture the vaccine. A US 
marketing trial for bone cancer has commenced. 

In addition, we are exploring the regulatory pathway 
for the launch of Kvax in the UK.

POST BALANCE DATE

On 15 August 2014, we raised $3.0m via a placement 
to institutional and sophisticated investors and 
announced a Share Purchase Plan for shareholders 
to raise up to a further $3.0m. These funds together 
with cash reserves at 30 June 2014 ($2.5m), an R&D 
tax rebate of approximately $3.7m (expected in 
late September 2014) and expected sales revenues 
provides Regeneus with a sound funding platform to 
progress our initiatives outlined above.

THANKS TO THE REGENEUS TEAM

We would like to thank the Board, executive 
management and the entire Regeneus team, 
including our R&D and commercial partners for  
their outstanding efforts, energy and passion in  
their work over the past year. Finally thank you to  
our shareholders for their continued support of 
Regeneus and commitment to the development  
of regenerative medicine.

allowing patients to have their regenerative cells 
cryogenically stored for future treatments, has created 
another source of revenue for Regeneus. 

Veterinary Health –  revenues, mostly from veterinarians 
using  Cryoshot in field trials, increased to $233k. This 
excludes the substantial amount of product that is 
provided at no charge to clinics for research purposes. 
The focus continues on generating clinical trial data, 
rather than revenue, for the off-the-shelf product. 
Cryoshot is made available to veterinarians , on a trial 
basis, under the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary 
Medicines Authority Permit 7250.  

There was no revenue for the period, from the sale of 
the new product Kvax. 

Licence Fees – technology licence fees for Research 
and Development continue to be an important part of 
the ongoing relationships Regeneus has with key R&D 
partners. In December 2013 a new agreement was 
reached with Cryosite Ltd to expand our R&D activities 
relating to the manufacture of our off-the-shelf human 
stem cell product, for clinical trials.

Expenditure

Research and Development expenses – these have 
increased to $5.8m (2013: $4.1m) from both internal 
and external costs. To comply with the accounting 
standards, all costs are expensed, in accordance 
with the Company’s policy on Capitalisation of 
Development Costs. 

The internal costs are related to employees, 
laboratories supplies and equipment expenses. The 
new premises include a new expanded laboratory for 
research and production purposes.

Selling expenses – there has been significant planned 
growth in the sales and support teams for all products.  

Occupancy expenses – these continue to increase in 
line with the growth of the Group. In February 2014, 
the Company moved into premises in Pymble that 
comprise new laboratories, warehouse and offices.

Corporate expenses – these include employment, 
options, patents, compliance and overheads. There 
were also one-off costs relating to the IPO of $208k, 
and an asset disposal of $103k.

Income Tax benefit - the Company estimates receiving 
a R&D Taxation concession rebate of $3.7m for FY14 
(2013: $2.3m).

Company Secretary

occurred during the year.

Significant	changes	in	state	of	affairs

In September 2013, Regeneus raised $10.5m through 
an IPO, and became a listed entity on the ASX.

On 24 February 2014, Regeneus South East Asia Pte 
Ltd was incorporated in Singapore, as a wholly owned 
subsidiary. This company will be the operating arm for 
HiQCell procedures to be made available in Singapore 
later this year.

Change in accounting policy

During the year the Group changed its accounting 
policy with respect to the disclosure of the R&D Tax 
Incentive. This government run program helps to offset 
some of the costs of R&D. Annually, the Group claims 
a refundable tax offset, this incentive is by its nature 
similar to a grant. The industry generally recognises 
these grants as other income rather than an income 
tax benefit.  The Group believes that for clarity due 
to the nature of this item it is more appropriate to 
disclose as other income enhancing the quality of the 
information and comparability. 

Events subsequent to the end of the reporting date

On 15 August 2014, a private placement of $3m was 
made to institutional and professional investors and  
the Company announced it would raise up to a  
further $3m by way of a Share Purchase Plan in 
September 2014.

1 .4  REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 

The Directors of the Group present the Remuneration 
Report for non-executive Directors, executive Directors 
and other key management personnel prepared in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the 
Corporations Regulations 2001. 

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following 
main headings: 

a - Principles used to determine the nature and     
  amount of remuneration 

b - Details of remuneration 

c - Service agreements

d – Share based remuneration

• 

• 

• 

to align rewards to business outcomes that 
deliver value to shareholders; 

to drive a high performance culture by setting 
challenging objectives and rewarding high 
performing individuals; and 

to ensure remuneration is competitive in the 
relevant employment market place to support 
the attraction, motivation and retention of 
executive talent. 

Regeneus has structured a remuneration framework 
that is market competitive and complementary to the 
reward strategy of the Group. 

The Board has established a Remuneration and 
Nominations Committee which operates in 
accordance with its Charter as approved by the Board 
and is responsible for making recommendations to 
the Board for reviewing and approving compensation 
arrangements for the Directors and the executive 
team. 

The remuneration structure that has been adopted by 
the Group consists of the following components: 

•  fixed remuneration being annual salary; and

•  short and long term incentives, being employee 

bonuses and options. 

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee 
assesses the appropriateness of the nature and 
amount of remuneration on a periodic basis by 
reference to recent employment market conditions 
with the overall objective of ensuring maximum 
stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality 
Board and executive team. 

All bonuses, options and incentives are linked to pre-
determined performance criteria. 

Short term incentive (STI) 

Regeneus performance measures involve the use of 
annual performance objectives, metrics, performance 
appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the 
Company values. 

The performance measures are set annually after 
consultation with the Directors and executives and 
are specifically tailored to the areas where each 
executive has a level of control. The measures target 
areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential 
for expansion and profit and cover financial and non-
financial measures.

may be brought against the officers in their capacity 
as officers of the Group, and any other payments 
arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in 
connection with such proceedings, other than where 
such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful 
breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by 
the officers of their position or of information to gain 
advantage for themselves or someone else to cause 
detriment to the Group. 

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect 
of the insurance policies is not disclosed as such 
disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract. 

The Group has not otherwise, during or since the end 
of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by 
law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or 
former officer or auditor of the Group against a liability 
incurred as such by an officer or auditor.

1 .7  NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the year, Grant Thornton, the Company’s 
auditors, performed certain other services in addition 
to their statutory audit duties. 

The Board has considered the non-audit services 
provided during the year by the auditor and, in 
accordance with written advice, is satisfied that the 
provision of those non-audit services during the year is 
compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 for the following reasons: 

•  all non audit services were subject to the 

corporate governance procedures adopted 
by the Company to ensure they do not impact 
upon the impartiality and objectivity of the 
auditor: and

• 

the non-audit services do not undermine 
the general principles relating to auditor 
independence as set out in APES 110 Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did

annually reviews and determines the remuneration 
arrangements for the Executive Chairman 
and CEO and executive team, submitting their 
recommendations to the Board for approval.

experience in the industries that the Group 
operates in.  With those that do not, having 
extensive experience in significant aspects of 
financial reporting and risk management in ASX

with a material supplier or customer of the 
Group.

The Board undertakes an annual review of the extent 
to which each non-executive Director is independent, 
having regard to the criteria set out in its Charter. As 
part of this review, each Director is required to make 
an annual declaration stating their compliance with 
the independence criteria to the Board. As at the 
date of this report, the three non-executive Directors 
have submitted their annual declaration to the Board, 
and the Board is satisfied that two of the three have 
retained their independence throughout the reporting 
period.

PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY 

Remuneration and Nominations Committee 

As previously stated in Principle 2, the Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee whose

3 .9  ASX LISTING RULE DISCLOSURE – EXCEPTION REPORTING

The following table discloses the extent to which Regeneus, as at the 30th June 2014, has not followed the best 
practice recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (2nd Edition). As the Company was listed on the ASX on 19 September 2013, it is now focusing 
on putting into place the best practice recommendations.

The chair should be 
an independant 
director

Currently, the Company 
has an Executive 
Chairman.

The person has been selected as Chairman to bring specific 
skills and industry experience relevant to the Company. Given 
the size of the Company and the stage of its development, the 
Board considers that this appointment is appropriate until such 
time that a better alternative can be identified.  

The audit committee 
should be structured 
so that it consists only 
of non-executive 
directors

The Company’s Audit 
and Risk Committee 
currently has three 
members, two who are 
Non executive Directors.

Given the present size of the Company and the Board, the 
Audit and Risk Committee currently has only 2 independent 
Non-executive Directors as members. The Board believes no 
efficiencies or other benefits could be gained by altering the 
structure of the Audit and Compliance Committee.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), other authoritative pronouncements of the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Regeneus Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements cover Regeneus Ltd and its controlled entities as a consolidated entity (“The Group”). As at 
the 30 June 2014, Regeneus is a Public Group, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

The address of its registered office and its principal place of business is 25 Bridge St, Pymble, NSW 2073, Australia.

Statement of compliance

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of Regeneus 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 were approved and authorised for issue by 
the Board of Directors on 22 August 2014.  

Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified by 
the revaluation of selected non-current assets and financial instruments for which the fair value basis of accounting 
has been applied. 

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual 
reporting period. 

Significant effects on current, prior or future periods arising from the first-time application of the standards discussed 
above in respect of presentation, recognition and measurement of accounts are described in the following notes;

Changes in accounting policy

During the year, the Group changed its accounting policy with respect to the disclosure of the R&D Tax Incentive 
The Group now recognises the R&D Tax Incentive as Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income. The Group believes the new policy is preferable as it more closely aligns the 
accounting for these incentives as income rather than a tax offset and it is now included with other similar income.

Additionally, as it is widely recognised that these grants are other income the change will provide clarity and  
enhance the comparability of the reports. The impact of this change in accounting policy, on the consolidated 
financial statements, is to reduce the tax benefit to nil and increase the other income in both years being reported. 
The impact on each line item of the financial statements is shown in the table on the next page:

New	and	revised	standards	that	are	effective	for	these	financial	statements

A number of new and revised standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July  
2013. Information on these new standards is presented below.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

AASB 10 supersedes AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (AASB 127) and AASB Interpretation 
112 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 revises the definition of control and provides extensive new 
guidance on its application.  These new requirements have the potential to affect which of the Group’s investees 
are considered to be subsidiaries and therefore to change the scope of consolidation. The requirements on 
consolidation procedures, accounting for changes in non-controlling interests and accounting for loss of control of 
a subsidiary are unchanged.

Management has reviewed its control assessments in accordance with AASB 10 and has concluded that there is 
no effect on the classification (as subsidiaries or otherwise) of any of the Group’s investees held during the period or 
comparative periods covered by these financial statements.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 clarifies the definition of fair value and provides related guidance and enhanced disclosures about fair 
value measurements. It does not affect which items are required to be fair-valued. The scope of AASB 13 is broad 
and it applies for both financial and non-financial items for which other Australian Accounting Standards require or 
permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements, except in certain circumstances.

AASB 13 applies prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Its disclosure requirements 
need not be applied to comparative information in the first year of application. The Group has however included 
as comparative information the AASB 13 disclosures that were required previously by AASB 7 Financial Instruments: 
Disclosures.

Amendments	to	AASB	119	Employee	Benefits

The 2011 amendments to AASB 119 made a number of changes to the accounting for employee benefits. 
The amendments which impact the Group related to the following:

Under the amendments, employee benefits ‘expected to be settled wholly’ (as opposed to ‘due to be settled’ 
under the superseded version of AASB 119) within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are short-term 
benefits, and are therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. As the Group does not expect all 
annual leave for all employees to be used wholly within 12 months of the end of reporting period, annual leave 
is included in ‘other long-term benefit’ and discounted when calculating the leave liability. This change has had 
no impact on the presentation of annual leave as a current liability in accordance with AASB 101 Presentation of 
Financial Statements. 

Management have assessed the impact of this change and noted that it is not material to the Group for the year 
ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013.

Notes to the Consolidated

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the 
classification and measurement of financial assets 
and 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: 

(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; and (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 (instead of in profit or loss). 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); and 

-   The remaining change is presented in profit 

or loss. 

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting 
mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes 
in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. 

Accounting Standards issued but not yet 
effective and not been adopted early by 
the Group

At the date of authorisation of these financial 
statements, certain new standards, amendments 
and interpretations to existing standards have been 
published but are not yet effective, and have not 
been adopted early by the Group. Management 
anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements 
will be adopted in the Group’s accounting policies for 
the first period beginning after the effective date of 
the pronouncement. Information on new standards, 
amendments and interpretations that are expected 
to be relevant to the Group’s financial statements is 
provided below. Certain other new standards and 
interpretations have been issued but are not  
expected to have a material impact on the Group’s 
financial statements.

AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards 

Part A of AASB 2014-1 makes amendments to various 
Australian Accounting Standards arising from the 
issuance by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (IASB) of International Financial Reporting 
Standards Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 
Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 
Cycle. Among other improvements, the amendments 
arising from Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010- 
2012 Cycle: 

(a) clarify that the definition of a ‘related party’ 
includes a management entity that provides 
key management personnel services to the 
reporting entity (either directly or through a 
group entity); and 

(b) amend AASB 8 Operating Segments to  

explicitly require the disclosure of judgements 
made by management in applying the 
aggregation criteria. 

Part E of AASB 2014-1 makes amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards to reflect the AASB’s decision 
to defer the mandatory application date of AASB 
9 Financial Instruments to annual reporting periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Part E also makes 
amendments to numerous Australian Accounting 
Standards as a consequence of the introduction of 
Chapter 6 Hedge Accounting into AASB 9 and to 
amend reduced disclosure requirements for AASB 
7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and AASB 101 
Presentation of Financial Statements.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES

Overall Considerations

The significant accounting policies that have been 
used in the preparation of these consolidated financial 
statements are summarised below.

The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared using the measurement bases specified by 
Australian Accounting Standards for each type of 
asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement 
bases are more fully described in the accounting 
policies below.

a .  Basis of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity that Regeneus has the 
power to control the financial and operating policies 
of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 
In assessing the power to govern, the existence and 
effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights 
are considered.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 4 to the 
financial statements. All controlled entities have a June 
financial year end.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all 
controlled entities have been incorporated into the 
consolidated financial statements as well as their results 
for the year then ended. All inter-Group balances and 
transactions between entities in the Group have been 
eliminated on consolidation. 

b .  Segment Reporting 

The Group has two operating segments: Human Health 
and Veterinary Health. In identifying its operating 
segments, management generally follows the Group’s 
service lines, which represent the main products and 
services provided by the Group. (see note 5)

There has been a change from prior periods in the 
measurement methods used to determine reported 
segment profit or loss. Research and Development  
is now not considered to be a commercial  
operating segment.

Each of these operating segments is managed 
separately as each of these service lines require 
different technologies and other resources as well as 
marketing approaches. 

The measurement policies the Group uses for segment 
reporting under AASB 8 are the same as those used in 
its financial statements, except that expenses related 
to share-based payments are not included in arriving 
at the operating profit of the operating segments. 
In addition, corporate assets which are not directly 
attributable to the business activities of any operating 
segment are not allocated to a segment.

c .  Going concern basis of accounting

Notwithstanding the consolidated entity incurring a net 
loss for the year, negative operating cash flows from 
operations and accumulated losses, the Directors have 
prepared the financial statements on a going concern 
basis. As at 30 June 2014 Regeneus had positive net 
assets. On 15 August 2014 the Company raised $3m 
in additional equity which along with the R&D rebate 
ensures available funds for its ongoing operations.

d .  Comparative Figures 

When required by accounting standards, comparative 
figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
the presentation for the current financial year. 

e .  Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand 
deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly 
liquid investments that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an 
insignificant risk of changes in value. 

f . 

Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year 
comprises current income tax expense (income) and 
deferred tax expense (income). Current and deferred 
income tax expense (income) is charged or credited 
directly to other comprehensive income instead of  
the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that  
are credited or charged directly to other 
comprehensive income.

Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the 
sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise 
those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian 
Taxation Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities 
relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that 
are unpaid at the reporting date. Calculation of 
current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that 
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 
end of the reporting period. 

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the 
liability method on temporary differences between 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their 
tax bases.  However, deferred tax is not provided 
on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability unless the related 
transaction is a business combination or affects tax 
or accounting profit.  Deferred tax on temporary 
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries 
and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these 
temporary differences can be controlled by the Group 
and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the 
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, 
without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 

31

 
 
 
08

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements 

apply to their respective period of realisation, provided 
they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end 
of the reporting period. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent 
that it is probable that they will be able to be utilised 
against future taxable income, based on the Group’s 
forecast of future operating results which is adjusted 
for significant non-taxable income and expenses and 
specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit.  
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only  
when the Group has a right and intention to set off 
current tax assets and liabilities from the same  
taxation authority.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are 
recognised as a component of tax income or expense 
in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that 
are recognised in other comprehensive income (such 
as the revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which 
case the related deferred tax is also recognised in 
other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

g . 

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. The average cost method has been 
used to value inventory. Net realisable value represents 
the estimated selling price for inventories less all 
estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to 
make the sale.

h .  Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried 
at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying 
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future 
economic benefits associated with the item will 
flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance 
are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income during the financial period in 
which they are incurred. 

i .  Depreciation

The depreciable amount of fixed assets are 
depreciated on either a straight line or reducing 
balance basis over their useful lives to the 
Consolidated entity commencing from the time 
the asset is held ready for use. Leased assets are 
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired 
period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of  
the assets. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of 
depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset

Depreciation Rate

Office equipment  
reducing balance

Laboratory equipment 
reducing balance

Office fit out 
straight line

Leasehold improvements 
straight line

2.5% - 67% 

20% - 30% 

20% 

20% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are 
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each 
reporting period date. 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. Gains and losses on 
disposals are determined by comparing proceeds 
with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are 
included in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income. 

j . 

Intangibles 

Intangible assets include acquired software. Intangible 
assets are accounted for using the cost model 
whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a reducing 
balance basis over their estimated useful lives, as these 
assets are considered finite. Amortisation commences 
from the date the asset is brought into use. Acquired 
computer software licences are capitalised on the 
basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the 
specific software. Subsequent expenditure is expensed 
as incurred.

Costs associated with maintaining intangibles are 
expensed as incurred.

The amortisation rate used for acquired software is 25% 
reducing balance.

The company has reviewed its policy not to capitalise 
development costs unless they meet the criteria  
as set in AASB 118. All not meeting these criteria  
are expensed.

k.	

Impairment	of	non-financial	assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the 
carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets 
to determine whether there is any indication that 
the assets may be impaired. If any such indication 
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an 
asset is required (i.e. Intangible assets with indefinite 
useful lives and intangible assets not yet available 
for use), the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s 
recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount 
is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its 
value in use and is determined for an individual asset, 
unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that 
are largely independent of those from other assets or

be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases 
the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash 
generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying 
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds 
its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating 
unit is considered impaired and is written down to its 
recoverable amount.

To determine the value-in-use, management estimates 
expected future cash flows from each asset or cash-
generating unit and determines a suitable interest 
rate in order to calculate the present value of those 
cash flows.  The data used for impairment testing 
procedures are directly linked to the Group’s latest 
approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude 
the effects of future reorganisations and asset 
enhancements.  Discount factors are determined 
individually for each asset or cash-generating unit and 
reflect management’s assessment of respective risk 
profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks factors. 

Impairment losses relating to continuing operations 
are recognised in those expense categories consistent 
with the function of the impaired asset unless the 
asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the 
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

l . 

Leases 

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the 
risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the 
asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to 
entities in the Group are classified as finance leases. 
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset 
and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to 
the fair value of the leased property or the present 
value of the minimum lease payments, including any 
guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are 
allocated between the reduction of the lease liability 
and the lease interest expense for the period. 

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the 
lease term. 

Lease payments for operating leases, where 
substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the 
lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which 
they are incurred. Lease incentives under operating 
leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a 
straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

m .  Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency 

The functional currency of each entity is measured 
using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which that entity operates. The 
consolidated financial statements are presented in 

Australian dollars which is the Consolidated entity’s 
functional and presentation currency. 

Transaction and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into 
functional currency using the exchange rates 
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign 
currency monetary items are translated at the year-
end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at 
historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange 
rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary 
items measured at fair value are reported at the 
exchange rate at the date when fair values were 
determined. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of 
monetary items are recognised in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

n .  Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised 
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets are de-recognised when the 
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial 
asset expire, or when the financial asset and all 
substantial risks and rewards are transferred. 

A financial liability is de-recognised when it is 
extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured 
initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, 
except for financial assets and financial liabilities 
carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are 
measured initially at fair value. 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured 
subsequently as described below. 

Loans and receivables  

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial 
assets with fixed or determinable payments that 
are not quoted in an active market and are stated 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade 
and most other receivables fall into this category of 
financial instruments.

Individually significant receivables are considered 
for impairment when they are past due or when 
other objective evidence is received that a specific 
counterparty will default. Receivables that are not 
considered to be individually impaired are reviewed 
for impairment in groups, which are determined by 
reference to the industry and region of a counterparty 
and other shared credit risk characteristics. The 
impairment loss estimate id then based on recent 
historical counterplay default rates for each  
identified group.

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements 

Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other 
payables, and finance lease obligations. 

Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method, 
except for financial liabilities held for trading or 
designated at fair value through profit or loss, that are 
carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses 
recognised in profit or loss. 

o .  Equity and Reserves

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that 
have been issued. Any transaction costs associated 
with the issuing of shares are deducted from share 
capital, net of any related income tax benefits. 

Other components of equity include the following:

•  Option reserve - comprises equity-settled share 

based remuneration plans for the Groups 
employees.

•  Retained earnings/(Accumulated losses) 

 include all current and prior period retained 
profits/(losses). 

p.		 Post-employment	benefits	and	short-term	
employee	benefits

The Group pays fixed contributions into independent 
entities in relation to several plans.

The Groups has no legal or constructive obligations 
to pay contributions in addition to fixed contributions, 
which are recognised as an expense in the period that 
the relevant employee services are received.

Short-term employee benefits, including annual leave 
entitlement, are current liabilities included in employee 
benefits, measured at the undiscounted amount that 
the Group expects to pay as a result of the unused 
entitlement. All amounts are expected to be settled 
within 1 year.

q .  Share-based employee remuneration

The Group operates equity-settled share-based 
remuneration plans for its employees. 

All goods and services received in exchange for the 
grant of any share-based payment are measured at 
their fair values. Where employees are rewarded using 
share-based payments, the fair values of employees’ 
services are determined indirectly by reference to the 
fair value of the equity instruments granted. This fair 
value is appraised at the grant date and excludes the 
impact of non-market vesting conditions (for example 
profitability and sales growth targets and performance 
conditions). 

All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised 
as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding 

credit to share option reserve. If vesting periods 
or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is 
allocated over the vesting period, based on the best 
available estimate of the number of share options 
expected to vest. 

Non-market vesting conditions are included in 
assumptions about the number of options that are 
expected to become exercisable. Estimates are 
subsequently revised if there is any indication that 
the number of share options expected to vest differs 
from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment 
prior to vesting is recognised in the current period. No 
adjustment is made to any expense recognised in 
prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are 
different to that estimated on vesting. 

Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received 
net of any directly attributable transaction costs are 
allocated to share capital. 

r .  Revenue

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that 
economic benefits associated with the transaction will 
flow to the Consolidated Group. Revenue is measured 
at the fair value of the consideration received or 
receivable. Licence fee revenue is recognised on 
a straight line basis over the period that the licence 
covers. 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the 
point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of 
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods 
and the cessation of all involvement in those goods. 

Revenue relating to the provision of services is 
recognised when the services are provided. 

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective 
interest rate method.  

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and 
services tax (GST).

s .  Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation 
Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as 
part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 
an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in 
the statement of financial position are shown inclusive 
of GST. 

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash 
flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component 
of investing and financing activities, which are 
disclosed as operating cash flows.

t .  Research and development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is 
recognised as an expense when incurred. The research 

  34

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements 

and development tax incentive is calculated and accrued at year end. The amount is credited to income tax 
expense and the receivable is included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a current tax asset.

u .  Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. 
Expenditure for warranties is recognised and charged against the associated provision when the related revenue is 
recognised.

v.	 Significant	management	judgements	and	estimates	in	applying	accounting	policies

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events 
and are based on current trends and economic data.

When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and 
assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Estimation Uncertainty

Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and 
measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expense is provided below. Actual results may be substantially 
different.

Useful lives of depreciable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the 
expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolence that may change the 
utility of certain software and IT equipment.

Inventories

Management estimates the net realisable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence 
available at each reporting date.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Both the basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the loss attributable to shareholders of 
the Parent Company as the numerator (i.e. no adjustments to the loss were necessary in 2014 or 2013).  

The reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share to the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share is as follows:

The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to 
financial instruments. The main types of risks are foreign 
currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group’s risk management is coordinated in close 
operation with the Board of Directors, and focuses on 
actively securing the Group’s short to medium term cash 
flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets. 

The Group does not actively engage in the trading 
of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most 
significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed 
are described below.  

(d)  Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk of an adverse impact 
on the Group’s financial performance as a result of 
exchange rate volatility.

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial 
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s 
functional currency.

51,917

(c)  Financial risk management objectives

  48 

Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

08

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements 

(f)  Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will 
default on its contractual obligations resulting in a 
financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, 
deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as 
credit exposure to customers, including outstanding 
receivables and committed transactions.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with 
creditworthy counter parties as a means of mitigating 
the risk of financial loss from defaults. 

(g) Capital management policies and procedures  

The Group’s capital management objectives are: 

• 

to ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a 
going concern; and 

• 

to provide an adequate return to shareholders

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying 
amount of equity less cash and cash equivalents as 
presented on the face of the statement of financial 
position and cash flow hedges recognised in other 
comprehensive income.  

Management assesses the Group’s capital 
requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall 
financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. 
The Group manages the capital structure and makes 
adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic 
conditions and the risk characteristics of the  
underlying assets.  

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising 
primarily from transactions with foreign suppliers. 
Exposure to currency risk arising from foreign currency 
transactions is limited to trade payables. The Group 
does not frequently transact with foreign suppliers and 
the total balance of trade payables denominated in a 
foreign currency is not material, therefore the Group’s 
exposure is minimal.

Management have assessed the risk of movement 
in interest rates, and foreign exchange, and do not 
believe the impact would be material to the accounts.

(e)  Liquidity Risk Analysis

Liquidity risk is risk that the Group might be unable to 
meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity 
needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing 
payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as 
forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day 
business. The data used for analysing these cash flows 
is consistent with that used in the contractual maturity 
analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in a 
rolling 365 day projection. 

The Group’s objective is to maintain cash and 
marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements 
for 180-day periods at a minimum. This objective was 
met for the reporting periods.

The Group considers expected cash flows from 
financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk 
in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. 

As at June 2014, the Group’s non-derivative financial 
liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest 
payments where applicable) as summarised below:

10 Independent Auditors Report

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 
report, whether due to fraud or error.  

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the 
Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 Company’s internal control. An audit 
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the financial report. 

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

Independence 
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001.   

Auditor’s opinion
