“Fantastic! Highly recommended. I had reser vations about buying a sunscreen 
that was natural as I was worried it wouldn’t work. However, I have been 
happily surprised.... a lovely peace of mind that my children (and us parents!) 
have protection from the sun without the product we are putting on being 
harmful to our health. We will definately be back for more after we run out.”   

Shannon N (Soléo advocate) 

under the ‘SKNLife’ banner. Under the 

SKNLife banner, the Company plans 

to deliver sales into global markets via 

existing distributors, its new SKNLife 

on-line store to be launched soon (with a 

separate dedicated SKNLife on-line store 

to be launched in the North American 

market) and other major distribution 

agreements it is pursuing.     

Developing the SKNLife on-line store 

A key component of the Company ’s sales 

and distribution strategy is its ability to 

maximise the impact and sales from its 

e -commerce channel. It has identified the 

opportunity to refine and enhance its on-

line sales offering to better reflect and 

market the entire SKNLife product range 

as one that has the potential to drive 

very significant sales growth. 

Plans to implement this strategy are well 

advanced, and will involve rationalising 

the existing Soléo Organics sunscreen 

website and McArthur sales website into 

the SKNLife on-line store, which will be 

a new fully functional on-line shopping 

and market place for the entire range of 

SKNLife skincare products.

The SKNLife on-line store will be rolled 

out and be accessible for the global 

online market. In the massive US market, 

the Company is in discussions with a 

major online retailer and plans to launch 

a separate, dedicated North 

American-focused SKNLife on-line store 

in the year ahead.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)SKIN ELEMENTS LIMITED  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2019For personal use onlyREMUNERATION REPORT (cont’d)

Remuneration Philosophy

The Board of Directors has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee shall provide 
assistance to the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities, however, ultimate 
responsibility for the Company’s nomination and remuneration practices remains with the Board. The main 
functions and responsibilities of the Committee include the following:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

assisting the Board in examining the selection and appointment practices of the Company;

ensuring remuneration arrangements are equitable and transparent and enable the Company to attract and 
retain executives and directors (executive and non-executive) who will create sustainable value for members 
and other stakeholders; 

ensuring the Board is of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its 
responsibilities and duties;

reviewing Board succession plans and Board renewal;

reviewing the processes for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors 
and ensuring that a fair and responsible reward is provided to executives and directors having regard to their 
performance evaluation; 

reviewing levels of diversity within the Company and Board and reporting on achievements pursuant to any 
diversity policy developed by the Board;

reviewing the Company’s remuneration, recruitment, retention and termination policies for the Board and 
senior executives; and

complying with all relevant legislation and regulations including the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act 
2001 (Cth).

The Group’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of board members and senior 
executives is as follows:

(i)  Non-Executive Directors

The remuneration of non-executive Directors will be determined by the Board having regard to the Remuneration 
Committee’s recommendations and evaluation of each individual director’s contribution to the Board. 

The maximum aggregate annual remuneration of non-executive directors is subject to approval by the shareholders 
in general meeting in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations 
Act 2001(Cth).  The current maximum aggregate remuneration amount to non-executive directors approved by 
shareholders under the Constitution is $500,000 per year. The directors have resolved that fees payable to non-
executive directors for Board activities are $24,000 per year with an additional fee of $2,000 per year payable to the 
Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

(ii)  Key management personnel

The Company’s remuneration policy reflects the Company’s obligation to align executive remuneration with shareholders’ 
interests and to engage appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of the Company. In particular, reward 
should reflect the competitive global market in which the Company operates, individual reward should be linked to 
performance criteria, and should reward both financial and non-financial performance of the executive.  

The Board of Directors and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee are in the process of assessing and 
implementing the Company’s executive reward framework to ensure reward for performance is competitive and 
appropriate for the results delivered. 

The Company has in place an Equity Incentive Plan to provide Performance Rights, Options, or Restricted Shares 
to directors, employees or contractor of the Company. For the year ended 30 June 2019 other than as set out in the 
share based payments – Employee Incentive Plan all executive remuneration is set at base level fixed amounts at 
commensurate market rates or lower. The Employee Incentive Plan aligns shareholder and stakeholder values with 
executives as the hurdles embedded in the incentive plans include target share price milestones which are typically 
set at prices above the current share price at the date of issue and expire within a defined timeframe.

Termination benefits

No termination benefits are payable to executive or non-executive directors.

Share-based compensation – Employee Incentive Plan

The Company has established an Employee Incentive Plan (EIP) to assist in the motivation, retention and reward 
of senior management and other employees.  The EIP is designed to align the interest of senior management and 
other employees with the interest of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for the participants to receive an 
equity interest in the Company. The securities issued under the Employee Incentive Plan currently do not include 
individual performance conditions for the recipients, instead, the milestones hurdles for these securities include 
share price targets which align all shareholder and stakeholder interests with the executives.   

During the year up to the date of this report the Company did not issue any new EIP securities and has on issue 
the following EIP securities:

*  The value at grant date calculated in accordance with AASB2 Share-based payment of rights granted during the year as part of remuneration. 
These have been valued based on the share price on the grant date of the performance rights.  No adjustment has been made for the value of 
rights which lapsed during the year.

The rights have the following performance hurdles, Tranche A, 5 Day VWAP of more than $0.34, Tranche B. 5 
Day VWAP of more than $0.51 per share.

The assessed fair value at grant date of rights granted to the individual is allocated equally over the period from 
grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above. 

The fair value of the rights has been determined as $0.05 to $0.032 per right. The Company used a Monte Carlo 
simulation model to value the rights with the following inputs:

Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. The Company is a public company limited 
by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are traded on the Australian Securities 
Exchange. The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis except for assessing the 
fair value of the business combination and the fair value of the share based payments. As at 30 June 2019 
the activities of the Company were the manufacture and distribution of skincare products. 

Reporting convention 

This annual report has been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical cost with the 
exception of the business combination, share based payments and convertible note fair values. The 
annual report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless 
otherwise stated. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with the accounting policies adopted in 
the Company’s last annual financial statements for year ended 30 June 2018. 

b.  Statement of Compliance 

The financial report was authorised for issue on in accordance with a resolution of directors on  
30 September 2019. 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents 
to International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted in Australia. Compliance with Australian 
Accounting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes 
thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the AASB. 

c.  Going concern 

For the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group recorded a loss of $1,967,761 (30 June 2018: $2,728,114 loss), 
a net working capital surplus of $200,028 (30 June 2018: $109,278) and had net cash outflows from operating 
activities of $1,818,443 (30 June 2018: $1,300,027). Included in the current liabilities there is a convertible 
liability of $200,000 which is expected to be converted to shares. 

The ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through 
issue of debt or equity, increasing revenues from sale of the Group’s products and government R&D tax rebates 
to continue to fund its operational and marketing activities. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that 
may cast a significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may 
be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  

Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the entity’s working capital requirements and as at the 
date of this report. Subsequent to year end the entity expects to receive additional funds by the placement 
of equity. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which 
contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the 
normal course of business for the following reasons: 

Positive cash flows from securing major distribution agreements,  

• 
•  Will be able to raise additional equity to contribute to the Group’s working capital position in the near term, 
• 
• 

The group expects to continue to receive the full support of its related party creditors, and 
Ability to raise additional finance from debt or equity if and when required

NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and 
discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those 
stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to 
the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should 
the entity not continue as a going concern 

d.  Business Combination 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of 
whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition 
of a subsidiary comprises of the fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred to the former owner, 
equity interests issued and the fair value of any contingent consideration. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their 
fair value at the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. 

e.  Principles of Consolidation 

General consolidation principles 

The consolidated financial statements comprise Skin Elements Limited and its controlled entity as at  
30 June 2019.  

A subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be 
consolidated from the date at which the group ceases to have control. Intercompany transactions, balances 
and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses 
are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 
policies adopted by the Group. The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not 
result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. When the group ceases to have 
control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value 
with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. 

f.  Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The preparation of the annual report requires the use of accounting estimates and judgements which, by 
definition, will seldom equal the actual results. This note provides an overview of the areas that involve a 
degree of judgement or complexity in preparing the annual report.  

All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current 
set of circumstances known to management. Facts and circumstances may come to light after the event 
which may have significantly varied the assessment used which result in a materially different value being 
recorded at the time of preparing these annual report. The estimates and underlying assumptions are 
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it 
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current 
and future periods.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

Impairment of assets 

i. 
The Company assesses the impairment of assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific 
to the asset that may lead to impairment of the assets recoverable amount. The assessment of impairment 
is based on the best estimate of future cash flows available at the time of preparing the report. However, 
facts and circumstances may come to light in later periods which may change this assessment if these 

facts had been known at the time. 

ii.  Deferred taxes 
Deferred tax assets relating to income tax losses have not been brought to account as it is not considered 
probable that the Company will make taxable profits over the next 12 months. The Company will make a 
further assessment at the next reporting period.  

iii.  Amortisation rates  
The Company has assessed the effective life of its Soléo and McArthur intangible assets taking into 
account sector practices, the expected product life cycle and its own internal knowledge of the sunscreen 
and skincare markets to determine an appropriate amortization rate. This rate is an estimate of what the 
Company anticipates the intangible will be able to generate future benefits from the production and sale of 
the product and this may differ from the future results. The directors will continue to assess the effective 
life at each reporting date. 

iv.  Share based payments 
The Company has assessed the fair value of the options issued using on Black Scholes Option Pricing 
model and the fair value of performance rights using a Monte Carlo simulation model. These models 
includes a number of estimated inputs including the Company’s volatility, the risk-free rate and an 
estimated shares price of the Company’s shares into the future. These inputs were considered to be a 
reasonable basis available information at the time the valuations were undertaken but the outcome may be 
materially difference if the Company had used other inputs. 

v.  Convertible notes 
During the previous period the Company extinguished debt by way of issuing convertible notes. The 
Company assessed the fair value of instruments issued using the fair value of the equity instruments 
issued to extinguish the debt. The fair value of the instruments included the fair value of ordinary shares 
issued and the fair value of options using a Black Scholes Option Pricing model. This model includes a 
number of estimated inputs including the Company’s volatility, the risk-free rate and the shares price of 
the Company’s shares. These inputs were considered to be a reasonable basis available information at 
the time the valuations were undertaken but the outcome may be materially difference if the Company had 
used other inputs.

g.  Segment Reporting 

Operating Segments – AASB 8 requires a management approach under which segment information 
is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This is consistent to the 
approach used for the comparative period. Operating segments are reported in a uniform manner to which 
is internally provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been 
identified as the Board of Directors. 

An operating segment is a component of the group that engages in business activity from which it 
may earn revenues or incur expenditure, including those that relate to transactions with other group 
components. Each operating segment’s results are reviewed regularly by the Board to make decisions 
about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance, and for which discrete 
financial information is available. 

37

SKIN ELEMENTS LIMITED  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2019For personal use only 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

The Board monitors the operations of the Company based on two segments, operational and corporate. 
The financial results of each segment are reported to the board to assess the performance of the Group. 
The Board has determined that strategic decision making is facilitated by evaluation of the operations of 
the legal parent and subsidiary which represent the operational performance of the group’s revenues and 
the research and development activities as well as the finance, treasury, compliance and funding elements 
of the Group. 

h.  Foreign Currency Translation 

Both the functional and presentation currency of the Company and its Australian subsidiary is Australian dollars. 

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange 
rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 
are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All exchange differences in the annual 
report are taken to profit or loss. 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using 
the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 

i.  Revenue Recognition 

AASB 15 was adopted without restating comparative information.  This means that revenue will be 
recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as 
is currently the case under IAS 18 Revenue.  The Company generates revenue from the delivery of goods as 
follows:  Revenue from selling goods The Company sells products to external customers using a number of 
mediums which include internet sales, employees direct selling and the use of wholesalers and businesses 
whom purchase the product and are then responsible for their own on selling processes.  The internet sales 
are driven by the Company’s website which sets out pricing for the product and delivery.  Each wholesalers 
and business customer order is specific to the client’s requirements, however, for each category of customer 
the performance obligations cease when the Company has delivered the goods to the customers.  As at 30 
June the Company did not have any material customer contracts at the reporting date: 

i.  Sale of goods 
Revenue for sale of suncare and skincare products, is recognised when the customers obtain control of 
the goods. This usually occurs when the goods are delivered. No other products or services are bundled in 
such contracts. Invoices are usually payable within 30 days and no element of financing is deemed present 
as the services are charged within standard credit terms which is consistent with industry practice.

j. 

Income Tax 

The income tax expense or benefit for the year is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income 
based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets 
and liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses.  

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted 
at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates 
operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns 
with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes 
provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected 
to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the 
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: 

.  when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or 
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, 
affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or 

.  when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or 

interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled 
and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of 
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be 
available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits 
and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

.  when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the 

initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination 

. 

and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or 

.  when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or 
interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is 
probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be 
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the 
deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the 
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the 
year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been 
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off 
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same 
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

k.  Goods and services taxes 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:.

.  when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation 

authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense item as applicable; and

. 

receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of 
receivables or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST 
component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or 
payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, 
the taxation authority.

l. 

Impairment of assets 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. 
If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, 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 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. 

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a 
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks 
specific to the asset. 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). 

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously 
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, 
the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there 
has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last 
impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its 
recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such 
reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the 
reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in 
future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic 
basis over its remaining useful life. 

m.  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash comprises cash at bank and on hand. 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of 
financial position. 

For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash 
and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. 

n.  Trade and other receivables 

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables 
are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from prepaid or cash on delivery to 60 days.  

Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible 
are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is 
objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original 
contractual terms.

o.  Inventories 

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable 
and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs 
are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased 
inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated 
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated 
costs necessary to make the sale inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

p.  Intangible assets 

i.  Formula and technology 
Separately acquired formula and technology are shown at historical cost. Formula and technology acquired in 
a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and 
are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 

ii.  Software 
Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs 
that are directly attributable to the improvement of identifiable and unique software products controlled 
by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the Company meets to capitalisation criteria to 
recognise the asset list in development costs above. 

iii.  Criteria for capitalising development costs of Formula and technology and Software 
Development costs of Formula and technology and Software which meet the criteria below are 
capitalised to the asset to which they relate in the year the costs were incurred. Research expenditure 
and development expenditure that do not meet the criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. 
Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent 
period. The criteria for recognising development assets are as follows: 

it is technically feasible to complete and will be available for use;

. 
.  management intends to complete the asset and use it;
. 
. 
. 

there is an ability to use or sell the asset;

it can be demonstrated how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell 
the asset are available, and

the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development can be reliably measured.

. 
.  Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the asset include employee costs and an 

appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

.  Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at 

which the asset is available for commercial production.

NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

q.  Intangible asset amortisation 

The Company commences amortisation where the development process is at a stage where the products 
can be produced in commercial quantities. The Company has assessed that the Soléo intangible assets 
and the McArthur intangibles assets are at a stage where they meet this test. The Company has assessed 
the effective life for these assets to be 25 years and amortised the asset carrying values on a straight-line 
basis for the period. The Company has a policy to regularly review the effective life of each asset. 

r.  Research and development tax incentives (government funding) 

Research and development tax incentives received or receivable from the government are recognised at 
their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the amount will be received and the Group will 
comply with all attached conditions. The value of the research and development tax incentives received 
or receivable is recognised as income where the expenses to which it relates are included in the profit or 
loss or alternatively as a reduction to the asset where the costs have been capitalised to the statement of 
financial position. 

s.  Financial assets 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash 
flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risk and rewards are 
transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Financial assets are classified according to their business model and the characteristics of their contractual 
cash flows and are initially measured at fair value adjusting for transaction costs (where applicable). 

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as 
hedging instruments, are classified into the following four categories:

Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

. 
. 
.  Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
. 

Equity instruments at FVTOCI

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

i. 
Financial assets with contractual cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest and held 
within a business model of ‘hold to collect’ contractual cash flows are accounted for at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method. The Group’s trade and other receivables fall into this category of financial 
instruments. 

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that 
are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not 
individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually 
assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with 
similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. 
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be 
recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related 
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment 
loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that 
the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

t.  Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and 
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the 
Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

u.  Borrowings 

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) 
and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the 
effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction 
costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this 
case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. 

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the 
contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial 
liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including 
any non- cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or 
finance costs. 

Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a 
creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or 
loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair 
value of the equity instruments issued. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 

v.  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of 
a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to 
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not 
recognised for future operating losses.  

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance 
contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually 
certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required 
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the 
present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and 
the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as 
interest expense.

w.  Employee leave benefits 

i.  Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled 
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up 
to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 
Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the 
rates paid or payable. 

ii.  Long service leave 
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits however due to the 
infancy of the Group, no long service leave has been accrued. 

x.  Share-based payment transactions 

The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to contractors or to its employees is measured 
at the fair value of contractor’s services (where the services can be valued) or at the fair value of the equity 
instruments provided (which includes employee services received) during the period. The measurement date is 
the grant date and the cost is recognised over the vesting period for the services received by the Company with 
an increase to the expense (or asset if it directly relates to the development of an asset) with a corresponding 
increase to equity or reserves. 

y. 

Issued capital 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable 
to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of 
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

z.  Earnings per share 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or 
options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable 
to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of 
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Parent, adjusted to exclude 
any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Parent, adjusted for: 

• 

•

NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 

aa. Convertible note 

The financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes and attaching options that can 
be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder. The number of the shares and options to be 
issued is fixed. These convertible notes are recognised as equity and are not re-measured subsequent to 
initial recognition. 

bb. New standards and interpretations adopted during the current year 

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 15 Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers  on the Group’s financial statements, and also discloses the new accounting 
policies that have been applied from 1 July 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.

Impact on Financial Statements
AASB 9 was adopted without restating comparative information. This change in methodology has not 
had an impact on the financial statements. The Company applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to 
measuring expected credit losses, which requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognised from 
initial recognition of trade receivables with maturities of 12 months or less.  The Company has made an 
assessment of the expected credit losses within its debtors balance. For the periods presented, a majority 
of the Groups’ sales are made directly to retail customers who pay in advance for the products. The 
Company’s history of returns is extremely low and therefore the historical credit losses will not be material.

AASB 15 was adopted without restating comparative information.  This means that revenue will be 
recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards 
as is currently the case under IAS 18 Revenue.  The Company generates revenue from the delivery of 
goods as follows:  Revenue from selling goods The Company sells products to external customers using 
a number of mediums which include internet sales, employees direct selling and the use of wholesalers 
and businesses whom purchase the product and are then responsible for their own on selling processes. 
The internet sales are driven by the Company’s website which sets out pricing for the product and delivery.  
Each wholesalers and business customer order is specific to the client’s requirements, however, for each 
category of customer the performance obligations cease when the Company has delivered the goods to 
the customers. As at 30 June the Company did not have any material customer contracts at the reporting 
date and will assess the impact of AASB 15 going forward.

The Group has applied AASB 15 using the cumulative effect method and therefore the comparative 
information has not been restated and continues to be reported under AASB 118. The details of accounting 
policies under AASB 118 are disclosed separately if they are different from those under AASB 15.

cc. New accounting standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory 

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have 
not been early adopted.

AASB 16 Leases eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for leases currently accounted 
for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases onto its Statement of 
Financial Position in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity 
will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its Statement of Financial Position 
for most leases. As at 30 June 2019, the Company has identified one contract that would be classified as 
leases under the new standard being the lease of office premises. Due to the short term and low value 
nature of this lease, the Company will apply the exemption and elected to recognise the lease payments in 
profit and loss on a straight line basis instead of applying the recognition and measurement requirements 
in AASB 16.

(i) Classification and impairment of trade and other receivables

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business. The 
trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are classified as current. The 
group does not currently have any provision for expected credit loss in respect to their receivables as at 30 
June 2019 (30 June 2018: Nil). Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amounts 
approximate their fair value. The trade debtor’s balance does not currently have any amounts that are past due 
but not impaired.

The Group may enter into agreements for services rendered with individuals (or an entity that is associated with 
the individuals) during the ordinary course of business.

A number of entities associated with the directors and select technical staff have consulting agreements in 
place which have resulted in transactions between the Group and those entities during the year.  The terms and 
conditions of those transactions were no more favourable than those available, or which might reasonably be 
expected to be available, on similar transactions to unrelated entities on an arm’s length basis.

Financial Risk Management Policies

The Boards overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets, 
while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management policies are approved 
and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. These include the credit risk policies and future cash flow 
requirements. Senior executives meet on a regular basis to analyse financial risk exposure in the context of 
the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the 
Group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. 

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management   

The main risk of the Company is exposed to, through its financial instruments, are credit risk, liquidity risk, 
and market risk relating to interest rate risk and other price risk. There have been no substantive changes in 
the types of risks the Company is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Boards objectives, policies and 
processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.

Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties 
of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Company. The Company’s objective in managing 
credit risk is to minimise the credit losses incurred, mainly on trade and other receivables. Credit risk is 
managed through maintaining procedures that ensure, to the extent possible, that clients and counterparties to 
transactions are of sound credit worthiness and their financial stability is monitored and assessed on a regular 
basis. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment.  Credit terms for normal sales income 
are generally 30 days from the day of invoice.  For sales with longer settlements, terms are specified in the 
individual client contracts. The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the 
end of the reporting period is equivalent to the carrying amount and classification of those financial assets as 
presented in the statement of financial position. The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk 
with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details with respect to credit risk of trade and other 
receivables are provided in note 5. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are 
considered to be of high credit quality. All cash and cash equivalents are held with large reputable financial 
institutions within Australia and therefore credit risk is considered minimal. 

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or 
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Company is not currently exposed to any 
significant liquidity risk on the basis that the realisable value of financial assets is significantly greater than 
the financial liabilities due for settlement after the receipt of cash from the capital raising in August 2018. The 
Company manages its liquidity risk through the following mechanisms: preparing forward looking cash flow 
analysis in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities; maintaining a reputable credit profile; 
managing credit risk related to financial assets; only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and 
comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. Cash flows 
realised from financial liabilities reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation timing may 
therefore differ from that disclosed.

Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for 
disclosure purposes. The directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities 
recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair values as the carrying value less impairment 
provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-
term nature. 

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Company does not currently have a significant fair value issues with regard to level 1 (active market for 
the financial instruments, level 2 (not traded in an active market) or level 3 (significant inputs is not based on 
observable market data) as the fair value estimates relate trade payables and receivables.

The Company considers capital to include, share capital, loans and borrowings and convertible notes.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of Skin Elements Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Qualified opinion

We have audited the financial report of Skin Elements Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section
of our report, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for qualified opinion

Included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019 is technology and
formula Intangible assets of $8,995,117 as disclosed in note 9 and note 1(p)(i). Due to sustained
operating losses, the Group has undertaken an impairment assessment of its Intangible in accordance
with AASB 136 Impairment of assets.

Due to the significant variability of the future cash flows of the asset, we were unable to satisfy
ourselves as to the appropriateness and reliability of the forecast of future cashflows that was included
in the impairment model. Therefore we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
about the carrying value of the Intangible assets as at 30 June 2019.

Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the carrying value of the
Intangible asset in the statement of financial position are necessary for the year ended 30 June 2019.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275,

63

SKIN ELEMENTS LIMITED  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2019INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTFor personal use onlyWe believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our qualified opinion.

Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to Note 1(c) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions
which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in
respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for qualified
opinion and Material uncertainty related to going concern sections, we have determined there are no
key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the
information contained in Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s
report, and the Annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date
of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

When we read the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected.  If it is not
corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom
our report is prepared.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

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

64

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTSKIN ELEMENTS LIMITED  |  ANNUAL REPORT 2019For personal use onlyIn preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:

http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 19 to 28 of the directors’ report for the
year ended 30 June 2019.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Skin Elements Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2019,
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards.
