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

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

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
Sandra McIntosh is the Company Secretary and HR
Manager. Sandra has been with the Company since
2009, and has 20 years management experience in HR,
Customer Service and Finance.
Principal activities
The principal activities of the Group during the financial
year were the development and commercialisation
of proprietary adipose-derived stem cell technologies
used by physicians and veterinarians to treat
musculoskeletal conditions in humans and animals.
No significant change in the nature of these activities
occurred during the year.
Financial Summary
Operating results
The loss of the Group for the financial year after
providing for income tax amounted to $ 7.5m (2013:
$5.2m) which is in line with expectations. The loss
includes an anticipated R and D Tax Concession
refund of $3.7m (2013: $2.3m)
Review of operations
Income

revenue mix between commercial activities (sale of
goods) and license fees as detailed above.
Income from Commercial Activities:
Human Health – HIQCell revenues increased to
$765k (2013: $750k). At the end of the year HiQCell
procedures were being performed primarily by 7
active practitioners in Sydney and Melbourne at 3

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.

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.

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
Financial Statements
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
32
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014
08
Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements
groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot
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.
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

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
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014
08
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:
2014

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.
