The “Payload”
A radioactive isotope. Can be a diagnostic 
isotope for imaging, or a therapeutic isotope 
for treatment

Our mission is to help patients with cancer 

live longer with a better quality of life.

Telix develops drugs that deliver targeted radiation 

directly to cancer. At low doses (or using diagnostic 

radionuclides), the patient can be imaged. At high 

doses (with therapeutic radionuclides) the patient 

is treated.

The use of molecular imaging with PET enables 

a precision medicine approach to treatment 

through better patient selection and 

personalised dose optimisation.

Telix Pharmaceuticals

 f   Chairman’s letter

Telix’s success in 2019 will be underpinned by clinical  
trial success, growing early product revenue and  

commercial partnerships.

Dear Shareholder,

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Telix”, the 
“Company”) has now concluded its third 
year of operations as a development-stage 
biopharmaceutical company and its first 
full year as a listed company. 

Over the past 12 months Telix has 
faithfully executed the objectives 
outlined in its IPO prospectus and made 
considerable progress on all fronts, 
including both product development 
activities and early commercialisation 
of its pipeline. The Company has 
considerably matured its processes and 
execution capability with the addition of 
key hires and the establishment of an 
excellent international operations team.

“  In terms of product 
development, Telix remains 
focused on its oncology 
development pipeline in renal, 
prostate and brain cancer.”

This past year was predominantly about 
manufacturing, clinical trial logistics and 
seeking the requisite regulatory approvals 
in the various countries that the Company 
is running trials. Telix has clinical activities 

in 17 countries around the globe, no small 
feat but necessary for the late-stage trials 
that the Company is pursuing.

Telix was a very commercially 
active company in 2018, in terms of 
collaborations and partnerships with 
leading firms in the biopharmaceutical, 
nuclear medicine and radiology fields. 
A number of these partnerships have 
led to early revenue opportunities for 
the Company’s pipeline, almost a year 
ahead of expectation. Telix also continues 
to engage in M&A activity with two 
important acquisitions this past year that 
significantly contribute to the Company’s 
IP portfolio and global reach. 

In 2019 there are three major themes 
that will underpin Telix’s ongoing growth 
and success:

1)  High quality data and timely execution 

of clinical trials. Much of Telix’s 
valuation is vested in the success of 
our clinical trials. With multiple data 
readouts during 2019, we will be in a 
strong position to inform the market of 
our progress and the clinical value of 
our products.

2)  Building our revenue. Consolidated 
product-related revenues across the 
Group in 2018 would have been $3M if 

the full year revenues from the ANMI 
kit sales in the US and Europe were 
included. We expect to continue to 
grow our revenue base in 2019.

3)  Partnerships. Telix’s pipeline has 

attracted considerable commercial 
attention. Further data readouts will 
continue to drive partnership dialogue, 
particularly for the later-stage programs 
in prostate and kidney cancer imaging.

“  I am optimistic about the 
future of the Company and 
its impact on cancer care. 
2019 will be a pivotal year 
for Telix and we look forward 
to keeping shareholders 
closely – and transparently – 
informed of our progress.”

Annual Report 2018

 f CEO’s report

I’d like to commend our outstanding team for the  
commitment and initiative taken over the past  
12 months to deliver on the business.

2018 was a huge year for Telix. When 
we commenced the year we were keenly 
aware of the responsibility to deliver on 
the performance commitments stated 
in our public offering. Launching a single 
drug development initiative is a significant 
effort, let alone a pipeline of therapeutic 
products and their associated “companion” 
imaging agents. I’d like to commend our 
outstanding team for the commitment and 
initiative taken over the past 12 months to 
deliver on the business.

The execution of Telix’s product pipeline 
appears complex but our mission is 
simple. We have a pipeline of drugs to 
treat prostate cancer, renal (kidney) cancer 
and a type of aggressive brain cancer 
called glioblastoma. These products have 
significant amounts of clinical efficacy 
data that clearly support the decision to 
develop them further and we have built a 
manufacturing supply chain and clinical 
network to deliver this. Underpinning our 
pipeline is a very significant portfolio of 
intellectual property, both in-licensed and 
company-generated.

companion diagnostic strategy for each 
of our therapeutic programs. Since we 
develop radioactive drugs, our products 
have a natural advantage over competitive 
approaches because we can use nuclear 
imaging (such as Positron Emission 
Tomography – or “PET”) to “see” the 
localisation of radiation to the cancer. We 
can then use this information to dial-in a 
personalized dose of therapy to optimise 
treatment efficacy and reduce side-effects. 
We are one of very few companies that 
has the capability and expertise to do this.

In general, 2018 was an exciting year in the 
industry. We started the year on the back 
of the USD $4B acquisition of Advanced 
Accelerator Applications (NASDAQ: AAAP) 
by Novartis and a bid for Sirtex (ASX:SRX) 
by Varian (and subsequent acquisition 
by CDH). These commercially-significant 
transactions signalled a renewed 
interest in the field of nuclear medicine 
and Novartis’ acquisition of Endocyte 
(NASDAQ:ECYT) for USD $2.1B in 
October further added to the commercial 
momentum in our space. 

However, in an era of precision medicine, 
it’s no longer acceptable – either clinically 
or economically – to simply give a patient 
a drug and hope for the best. This is the 
reason why Telix is also developing a 

When we created Telix, we created a 
company ready to partner and with well 
defined opportunities for commercial 
engagement. 2019 is the year that we 
will not only deliver multiple inflection 

points for our clinical programs but 
also the transition to becoming a 
revenue-generating business. This 
objective is partially delivered through 
the development of the illumetTM 
prostate imaging product (and the 
acquisition of Belgium-based Advanced 
Nuclear Medicine Ingredients) but also 
key commercial relationships with 
leading firms such as Cardinal Health, 
GenesisCare, Endocyte (now Novartis) and 
Nihon Medi-Physics. Healthcare is a global 
business and we have demonstrated our 
ability to commercially execute in the US, 
Europe, Japan and – of course – our home 
base of Australia.

Just as 2018 was a year of operational 
growth – 2019 is our year of opportunity 
and we look forward to unlocking the 
commercial and clinical impact of our 
pipeline and delivering this benefit to our 
shareholder base. Thank you for your 
ongoing support and we are excited to be 
in a position to take Telix to the next level 
in the coming months.

Prostate 
Cancer

Telix’s most 
advanced 
imaging program 
is TLX591-CDx 
(68Ga-PSMA-11). 
Telix is currently 

preparing to submit a new drug application 
(NDA) for this product in the United 
States and is preparing for Phase III trials 
in Europe. 

In some countries, the Company is 
already able to offer this product under 
compassionate use and it is available as 
an investigational product in the United 
States under the brand illumetTM.

“  TLX591 therapy 
(177Lu-huJ591) has been 
studied in ~200 patients in 
the US and demonstrates 
significant prolongation of life 
in patients with metastastic 
castrate-resistant prostate 
cancer (mCRPC).”

TLX591 is expected to commence 
Phase III studies in 2019, subject to 
regulatory approvals.

Renal 
(Kidney) 
Cancer

Clear cell renal cell 
carcinoma (ccRCC) 
is an aggressive 
cancer that is often 
mis-staged, and 
thousands of kidneys are unnecessarily 
removed each year.

“  TLX250-CDx (89Zr-
girentuximab) is a unique 
imaging product that can 
transform the management of 
kidney cancer.”

In a previous Phase III study, girentuximab-
based imaging has shown to be as good 
as biopsy for detecting ccRCC, offering 
a non-invasive, whole-body approach 
to staging patients. TLX250 therapy 
(177Lu-girentuximab) has demonstrated 
progression-free survival of approximately 
10 months in patients with advanced 
metastatic ccRCC with no other 
treatment options. TLX250 will commence 
further studies in 2019 in combination 
with immunotherapy.

Glioblastoma 
(GBM)

GBM is the most 
common form 
of brain cancer 
with a very poor 
prognosis for 
patients. TLX101 

(131I-IPA) is a novel therapy for the 
treatment of GBM that is designed to act 
in concert with standard care – external 
beam radiation and chemotherapy. 

“  Early evaluation of 
patients in Germany 
under compassionate use 
has demonstrated some 
impressive responses.”

A formal Phase I/II trial has been launched 
in Australia and Europe to further evaluate 
the efficacy of this treatment in recurrent 
GBM, a patient population with few 
treatment options. TLX101 has orphan 
drug status in the US and EU.

None of Telix’s products have attained a marketing authorisation in any jurisdiction.

Annual Report 2018

 f Commercial activity 
and partnerships

Telix is a highly transactional company and our partnerships span the globe. Our commercial activity over 
the past year has focused on three major growth activities – commercial and manufacturing partnerships, 
M&A and research collaborations for pipeline expansion. We completed almost 30 agreements that help to 
futureproof our company and build capability for the future.

Mergers and 
acquisitions 
(M&A)

Telix was formed through 
licensing, partnering 

and M&A and this continues to be a part of our inorganic 
growth strategy. In 2018 we acquired two companies – Atlab 
Pharma SAS (Nantes, France) and Advanced Nuclear Medicine 
Ingredients SA (ANMI) (Liège, Belgium). These acquisitions 
were made because they delivered technology, intellectual 
property and talent that materially boosts Telix’s product 
portfolio, revenues and barrier to entry for competition. The 
ANMI acquisition delivers both additional near-term revenue 
for prostate imaging (TLX591-CDx / illumetTM) in Europe and 
beyond, as well as a talent pool of radiochemists and product 
developers. The Atlab acquisition significantly enhanced Telix’s 
IP portfolio, particularly for the combination use of prostate 
cancer radiotherapy with anti-androgen drugs.

Research 
collaborations

Telix has a carefully chosen 
product pipeline that is enough 
to keep any small biotech 
company busy. As a company, 
we engage expert external 

R&D support. In-house, clinical development is our focus for 
the utilisation of our human resources and capital. However, 
we are always on the lookout for the next technology that will 
improve the ability to manufacture our products, enable new 
applications of our pipeline and potentially expand our products 
into new markets. As such Telix has a number of high-value 
collaborations with leading research institutions around the 
world. Key examples include Radboud University (Netherlands), 
University of Nantes/ARRONAX (France), the University of 
Melbourne (Australia), Osaka University (Japan) and Memorial 
Sloan Kettering (USA). In many instances these collaborations 
leverage non-dilutive funding and grants that help our modest 
R&D budget go further.

Partnerships

In the past 12 months we completed several commercial agreements with leading companies in the 
field. The purpose of most of these agreements is build a path to market for Telix’s product pipeline, 
a critically important activity given that the majority of our development involves products that are 
relatively proximal to market. As a company we need to be thinking 18-24 months in advance of launch 
in order to have the capacity in key commercial territories, in order to be ready for when our products 
attain marketing authorisation. Commercial partnerships of note include Cardinal Health, Endocyte (now 
Novartis), Nihon Medi-Physics, GenesisCare and JFE Engineering.

Clinical inflection points 
– the year ahead 

8

Annual Report 2018

 f Clinical development activity in 2018 mostly focused on establishing the manufacturing and logistics for the 
various programs, in preparation for clinical trials. Radioactive imaging and therapy products begin to decay 
as soon as they are produced and therefore require the use of “just in time” manufacturing and a robust supply 
chain in order to enable both clinical trials and commercial distribution. Telix has established a highly capable and 
sophisticated network of partnerships to deliver its programs – on a global basis.

The two major trials launched by Telix in 
2018 were the ZIRCON (Zirconium 
Imaging in Renal Cancer Oncology) 
multi-centre Phase III trial and the IPAX-1 
(IPA + XRT) multi-centre Phase I/II trial. 
ZIRCON is planned to include up to 25 
sites in Europe, Australia and North 

America with a target completion of recruitment by end-2019. 
IPAX-1 is an EU/Australian study at 7 centres and we will be able 
to report on our preliminary experience around Q3 2019. 

2019 will build on our excellent progress 
over the past year. In parallel to our 
glioblastoma and kidney imaging trials, 
we expect to significantly progress our 
prostate imaging and therapy program 
in Europe and the US. Significant clinical 
inflection points are expected around both 
a new drug application (NDA) submission 

for TLX591-CDx (prostate imaging) and TLX591 (therapy) 
around mid-year. Telix is running clinical activity in 17 countries, 
with plenty of progress updates as the year progresses.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 
OF THE COMPANY 
IN THE YEAR UNDER 
REVIEW
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited is a 
Melbourne-headquartered oncology 
company that is developing a pipeline of 
“molecularly targeted radiation”, or “MTR”, 
products for unmet needs in cancer 
care. The Company was established on 
3 January 2017. The Company completed 
an initial public offering (IPO) and listed on 
the on the Australian Securities Exchange 
on 15 November 2017.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 
2018 marked a period of rapid international expansion and operational growth for Telix. 
The Company currently has 50 headcount (43 FTEs), of which 18 FTEs are based in 
Australia and the rest operate out of Telix offices in Indianapolis (USA), Brussels/Liege 
(Belgium) and Kyoto (Japan). Headcount growth in 2019 is expected to be considerably 
more modest as most key positions have now been filled to deliver the current product 
pipeline. This growth in the execution capability of the company reflects the international 
conduct of Telix’s clinical activity, necessary to secure product approvals in key 
commercial jurisdictions. Telix has been able to keep headcount modest (relative to the 
scale of the pipeline) due to the extensive use of contract manufacturing and specialist 
service providers.

The development of MTR products is highly dependent on the establishment of a global 
supply chain and product manufacturing network. As such, a good deal of Telix’s activity 
in 2018 was centered around building a stable partner network for both clinical trials 
and early commercialisation. The result of the Company’s effort was a number of key 
commercial agreements with firms like Cardinal Health, Isologic (part of the Pharmalogic 
group), RTM, Seibersdorft Laboratories, JFE, Cyclotek and Nihon Medi-physics. 

Over the past year, Telix has established a regulatory footprint in numerous countries as 
part of its product development activities. Of particular note, the Company was able to 
operationalise both a global Phase III clinical trial (Europe/Australia) for the renal imaging 
program (TLX250-CDx) and the glioblastoma therapy program (TLX101). These are 
considerable achievements for a company of Telix’s size. Through the acquisition of ANMI 
and Atlab, we considerably augmented our program footprint in prostate cancer (TLX591) 
– both for the diagnostic and therapeutic products. 

The result has been the acceleration of those clinical programs and, in the case of 
prostate imaging, development of an early product for the US market – the illumetTM kit, 
distributed in the US by Cardinal Health. A “soft” product launch of illumetTM (illumet.com) 
took place in December 2018 and the reception of US key opinion leaders has been 
very positive. 

FORWARD STRATEGY AND 
OPERATIONAL TARGETS
The 2019 corporate objectives for the Group include material progress towards:

 f Completion of enrolment of the TLX250-CDx (kidney cancer imaging) trial by the end 
of Q4 2019 (the ZIRCON study). The Company is building up sites in Europe, Australia 
and the US (subject to regulatory approval). We are also considering the addition of 
sites in Canada and Turkey in order to drive patient volume as well as open the door for 
concurrent approval in other territories. 

 f Commencement of the Phase II portion of the TLX101 (glioblastoma) therapy program 
(the IPAX-1 study). This study has taken some additional time to launch, mainly due 

to a health authority inspection of one 
of our key manufacturing sites. The 
trial is now recruiting from sites that 
have a significant number of suitable 
patients. We have also partnered with 
GenesisCare in Australia to access 
their extensive outpatient radiation 
oncology network that also includes 
a large number of potentially eligible 
glioblastoma patients.

 f The Company expects to submit a New 
Drug Application (NDA) to the US Food 
and Drug Administration (FDA) for the 
prostate imaging product (TLX591-CDx 
/ IlumetTM). The Group has successfully 
filed Drug Master Files (DMFs) in 
the US, Canada and Investigational 
Medicinal Product Dossiers (IMPDs) 
in nine European countries. Phase III 
studies are ongoing in Europe but the 
Company, in consultation with external 
regulatory advisors and based on FDA 
guidance for industry, believes it has 
sufficient clinical and manufacturing 
data to support an NDA. Meanwhile, 
the Group’s global regulatory footprint 
supports a number of industry-led and 
investigator-led clinical trials, notably 
the Endocyte (now Novartis) VISION 
Phase III program in prostate cancer.

 f Telix has received considerable 
pharma interest in the TLX250 
(kidney cancer) portfolio and through 
several commercial and collaborative 
activities, the Company expects 
to obtain first data in combination 
with immune-oncology drugs in the 
United States. With the changes in the 
treatment landscape for kidney cancer 
and adoption of immuno-oncology 
strategies for treating systemic 
disease, Telix is in a strong position to 
play a role in treating the significant 
number of patients that have progress 
on immunotherapy.

 f The completion of the Atlab acquisition 

and subsequent analysis of the 
historical prostate cancer therapy 
data (predominantly from Weill 
Cornell Medical Centre, New York) 
has enabled the Company to identify 

17
17

Telix Pharmaceuticals
Telix Pharmaceuticals

a potential Phase III strategy for the 
TLX591 (prostate cancer) platform. 
The Company expects to engage with 
the FDA during the course of 2019 to 
plan a Phase III clinical trajectory for 
the program.

 f Telix is now a revenue-stage company, 
through the early commercialisation 
of the illumetTM product (prostate 
cancer imaging kit). With the 
acquisition of ANMI, Telix is now 
able to develop and deliver a global 
strategy for prostate cancer imaging 
and expects to conclude commercially 
significant agreements with key 
marketing and distribution partners as 
2019 progresses.

LIKELY 
DEVELOPMENTS AND 
EXPECTED RESULTS 
The likely developments in the operations 
of the Group and the expected results 
from those operations in future financial 
years will be affected by the success 
of management in reaching critical 
development and commercial milestones 
in its core programs. This will include 
developing and expanding existing and 
emerging commercial partnerships with 
leading global healthcare companies, 
securing one or more commercial 
transactions for one or more of the Group’s 
drug assets, as well as establishing a 
revenue stream for the Group via the 
commercialisation and sale of the Group’s 
TLX591 PSMA ‘kit’ and other assets 
under development.

REGULATORY AND 
ENVIRONMENTAL 
MATTERS 
Telix is required to carry out its activities in 
accordance with applicable environment 
and human safety regulations in each of 
the jurisdictions in which it undertakes its 
operations. The Company is not aware of 

any matter that requires disclosure with respect to any significant regulations in respect 
of its operating activities, and there have been no issues of non-compliance during 
the year. 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE 
BALANCE DATE 
On 24 January 2019, the Company issued 6,845,000 unlisted share options to be 
allotted to Directors (subject to shareholder approval), employees and consultants to the 
company. Options have a four-year term, with an expiry date of 24 January 2023. The 
exercise price of $1.09 per option is a 44% premium to the five-day volume weighted 
average closing price prior to the day of issue ($0.7561). Options remain unvested for a 
three-year period, and ‘cliff vest’ on 24 January 2022.

Other than the matter referred to above, there were no subsequent events that required 
adjustment to or disclosure in the Directors’ Report or the Consolidated Financial 
Statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Directors’ reportRemuneration practice 
and philosophy

The Group’s guiding principle for 
remuneration is that remuneration should 
be simple and transparent, should reward 
achievement, and should facilitate the 
alignment of shareholder and executive 
interests. The Company’s philosophy is 
that shareholder and executive interests 
are best aligned: 

 f by providing levels of fixed 

remuneration and ‘at risk’ pay sufficient 
to attract and retain individuals with 
the skills and experience required to 
build on and execute the Company’s 
business strategy; 

 f by ensuring ‘at risk’ remuneration is 
contingent on outcomes that grow 
and/or protect shareholder value; and,

 f by ensuring a suitable proportion of 
remuneration is received as a share-
based payment. 

Policy and process for 
remuneration setting 
and review 

The Group aims to reward personnel 
with a level and mix of remuneration 
commensurate with their position and 
responsibilities so as to:

 f attract and retain appropriately 

capable and talented individuals to the 
company;

 f

reward personnel for corporate and 
individual performance;

 f align the interest of personnel with 

those of shareholders; and

 f build a strong cohesive leadership team 
which can deliver execution excellence 
against the strategy.

Remuneration consists of: 

 f

 f

total fixed remuneration: base salary 
and superannuation; and

‘at risk’ remuneration: short-term 
incentives (STI) and long-term 
incentives (LTI).

Performance and remuneration reviews 
are combined and are conducted on a 
single cycle which runs from 1 January 
to 31 December. There are no automatic 
adjustments to individual total fixed 
remuneration other than those required 
by law. Position descriptions are prepared 
for all positions. Position descriptions are 
reviewed when necessary due to internal 
or external changes and are considered 
as part of the annual performance and 
remuneration review. The Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee recommends to 
the Board the remuneration packages for 
KMPs. The Committee may seek external 
advice to determine the appropriate 
level and structure of the remuneration 
packages. The CEO determines 
remuneration packages for non-KMP 
team members. 

Total fixed remuneration 

To ensure that the Company continues to 
attract, retain and motivate talented staff 
at a competitive cost, the Company will 
aim to align total fixed remuneration to the 
median rate paid by others operating in the 
relevant market, with consideration given 
to experience, qualifications, performance 
and other non-financial benefits. Total 
fixed remuneration will be reviewed using 
market data to determine what, if any, 
adjustments may need to be made to 
individual remuneration. 

‘At risk’ remuneration

‘At risk’ remuneration elements are 
paid/ issued following the performance 
and remuneration review conducted by 
executive management; assessment 
by the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee; and approval by the Board. 

Short‑term incentives (STI): 
cash bonus 

STIs comprise 30% of fixed remuneration 
for the CEO and between 10% and 25% for 
other personnel. To provide a framework 
for the assessment of performance and 
remuneration, each year, Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs) will be determined on a 

corporate and individual basis, based on 
the Board approved annual operational 
plan. Corporate KPIs will be approved 
by the Board, and individual KPIs and 
commercial targets will be set by the CEO. 
STI calculations and actual payment are 
based on achievement of KPIs. The relative 
contributions of corporate and individual 
KPIs for company personnel are:

 f KMPs = 100% corporate objectives

 f Other personnel = 75% corporate 
objectives and 25% individual 
objectives 

Long‑term incentives (LTI): 
equity grants 

LTIs are offered to incentivise, reward 
and retain personnel, and to align the 
interests of personnel and shareholders. 
On an annual basis, the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee considers the 
recommendation of the CEO regarding the 
issue of LTIs in light of the performance, 
financial position and current issued 
capital of the company. There will be no 
automatic grant of LTIs following each 
performance and remuneration review. At 
the discretion of the Board, the Company 
may also offer grants of LTIs as an award 
to incentivise high-quality prospective 
employees to join the company. As 
the Group is yet to have an ongoing 
revenue stream, the Board may also 
consider equity-based remuneration for 
consultants to the Company as a means 
of preserving capital. 

The terms of any LTI grant are determined 
by the Board. LTI grants normally take 
the form of the issue of unlisted share 
options. Share options are normally 
issued under the company’s equity 
incentive plan (EIP). All grants of equity 
are determined by the Board, following a 
recommendation by the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee. 

Prior to 31 December 2018, the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee 
reviewed the general terms of new options 
to be issued. Options will be typically 
granted with an exercise price that is 

19
19

Telix Pharmaceuticals
Telix Pharmaceuticals

between a 40-50% premium to the market 
price of shares on the day of issue, and 
with an expiry date that is between three 
and four years from the date of issue. As 
LTIs are offered to incentivise, reward and 
retain personnel, options will typically vest 
at a ‘cliff’ prior to the expiry date. 

The terms of the options, and what 
happens to options in the event of 
cessation of employment, are at the 
discretion of the Board. However generally, 
in the event that a holder of unvested 
options ceases to be employed, then at 
the absolute discretion of the Board, if the 
ceasing of employment is due to death 
or permanent disability, or in any other 
circumstances determined by the Board 
to be on a “good leaver” basis, the next 
tranche of unvested options vests and 
becomes exercisable for 30 days after 
the last day of engagement, after which 
those options expire. If at the absolute 
discretion of the Board, the ceasing of 
employment occurs for any other reason 
than in “good leaver” circumstances, 
including, but not limited to, termination for 
cause, or due to resignation, all unvested 
options lapse immediately and the expiry 
date is taken to have occurred on the 
last day of engagement. In the event 
of a change of control, the Board, at its 
absolute discretion, may determine that a 
proportion or all unvested awards will vest.

Remuneration Committee is to assist

Remuneration and Awards 
for the financial year ended 
31 December 2018 

Detailed remuneration benchmarking was 
undertaken in the financial period ended 
31 December 2017, prior to the Company 
listing on the ASX. During this review, total 
fixed remuneration was benchmarked 
against 50 comparable (market 
capitalisation, pre-revenue stage) ASX life 
sciences companies. For 2017/2018, the 
CEO salary represented a bottom quartile 
ASX-benchmarked salary, reflective of 
the ‘start-up’ mode of operation and in 
consideration of the CEO’s significant 
founding equity ownership. KMP salaries 
were benchmarked to the middle of 
the ASX for peer companies in the 
biopharmaceutical industry. The CEO and 
KMP salaries have been reviewed for the 
2019 financial year.

STI awards for the financial year ended 
31 December 2018 were applicable to 
KMPs following the achievement of 
targets determined by the Board. The 
corporate objectives set by the Board for 
the year under review included the filing 
and acceptance of the Phase III IMPD in 
Europe as well as interactions with the 
FDA and commencement of clinical trial 
recruitment for the TLX250 program; the 
successful filing of a Drug Master File and 
completion of the GMP manufacturing 

process, as well as securing a commercial 
partnership for the TLX591 program; the 
completion of the Phase I dosimetry trial 
as well as the launch of the Phase I/II 
clinical trial for the TLX101 program; and 
a number of targets around collaborations 
and cost control. Each corporate objective 
was weighted relevant to its individual 
value to the overall corporate strategy. 

Based on successful completion of 75% 
of pre-set corporate objectives, and in 
recognition of significant achievements 
against new targets set following the 
realignment of corporate strategy during 
the year, 80% of STI entitlements due 
to each eligible KMP for the year was 
awarded. The remaining 20% of STI 
entitlements due to each eligible KMP for 
the year was forfeited. 

LTIs awards made during the year, 
effective in future years

Prior to 31 December 2018, the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee, 
and as part of the FY2018 remuneration 
review, LTIs in the form of unlisted share 
options were made to new and existing 
employees, including KMPs, as a tool to 
both incentivise and retain personnel. The 
issue of unlisted share options was made 
on 24 January 2019. Options issued have 
a four-year term, with an expiry date of 
24 January 2023. The exercise price of 
$1.09 per option is a 44% premium to the 
five-day volume weighted average closing 
price prior to the day of issue ($0.7561). 
Options remain unvested for a three-
year period, and ‘cliff vest’ on 24 January 
2022. The Company considers that this 
grant of options allows the Company to 
maintain cash reserves for its operations 
whilst rewarding KMPs and personnel 
for their commitment and contribution to 
the Company.

Non‑Executive Director 
remuneration

All Non-Executive Directors enter into a 
letter of appointment which summarises 

Directors’ reportobligations, policies and terms of appointment, including remuneration, relevant to the 
office of Director of the Company. 

In accordance with the Constitution of the Company and ASX Listing Rules, the aggregate 
remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is determined from time to time by General 
Meeting. The last determination for Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited was made at the 
General Meeting of Shareholders held on 13 October 2017. At that Meeting, Shareholders 
approved an aggregate annual remuneration pool for Non-Executive Directors of 
$400,000. The total Non-Executive Director remuneration of Telix Pharmaceuticals 
Limited for the year ended 31 December 2018 utilised $294,281 of this authorised 
amount. 

Fees to Non-Executive Directors reflect the obligations, responsibilities and demands 
which are made on Directors. Non-Executive Directors’ fees will be reviewed periodically 
by the Board. In conducting these reviews, the Board will consider market information, to 
seek to ensure that fees are in line with the market, as well as the financial position of the 
Company. Although the Chairman of the Board receives a higher fee, the remuneration 
of Non-Executive Directors consists only of Directors fees, Non-Executive Directors do 
not receive committee fees or retirement benefits. Non-Executive Directors are however 
able to participate in the Group’s Equity Incentive Plan, under which equity may be issued 
subject to Shareholder approval. Annualised fees below are base remuneration fees 
inclusive of superannuation (where applicable). Fees as recorded below remain in effect at 
1 January 2019 and at the date of this report. 

the case of Messrs McCann and Nelson) 
and rewarding their commitment and 
contribution to the Company (in the case 
of Mr Buck). 

Ms Jann Skinner joined the Board as 
a Non-Executive Director on 19 June 
2018. Ms Skinner was offered 495,000 
options in the Company for agreeing to 
join the Board. Options offered have a 
four-year term, with an expiry date of 
24 January 2023. The exercise price of 
$1.09 per option is a 44% premium to the 
five-day volume weighted average closing 
price prior to the day of issue ($0.7561). 
Options offered shall remain unvested 
for a three-year period and will ‘cliff vest’ 
on 24 January 2022. The issue of these 
options to Ms Skinner is subject to the 
approval of Shareholders. This approval 
will be sought at the 2019 AGM.

(i)   In consideration for agreeing to join the Board, and in lieu of an equity grant at the time of 

appointment, the Board offered Ms Skinner an additional fee of $14,345 per annum (inclusive of 
statutory superannuation), effective to the date of the Company’s 2019 AGM. This additional fee 
will be reviewed at that date. 

Non-Executive Directors are able to participate in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan 
(EIP) under which equity may be issued subject to Shareholder approval. Options are 
however normally issued to Non-Executive Directors not as an ‘incentive’ under the EIP but 
as a means of cost-effective consideration for agreeing to join the Board.

Following Shareholder approval at the EGM held 13 October 2017, Non-Executive Directors 
were granted Director Options, the vesting of which was contingent on the company’s IPO 
and listing. These options became eligible to vest upon Listing and vest equally over three 
years from the date of issue. The options have an exercise price of $0.85 per option and 
an expiry of 14 October 2021. The Company considered that this grant of Director Options 
allowed the Company to maintain cash reserves for its operations whilst providing cost 
effective consideration to the Non-Executive Directors for agreeing to join the Board (in

The disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements of shares and options held by key management personnel are determined in 
accordance with the requirements of AASB 124, which requires that KMP holdings also include the holdings of ‘close family members’. 
Disclosure of ‘close family member’ holdings is not required by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), therefore the figures shown above may 
differ from those holdings reported in at Note 20a to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

INDEMNITY
Subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and rule 10.2 of the Constitution of Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited, the Company must 
indemnify each Director, Secretary and Executive Officer to the maximum extent permitted by law against any liability incurred by them by 
virtue of their holding office as, and acting in the capacity of, Director, Secretary or Executive Officer of the Company, other than: 

a)  a liability owed to the Company or a related body corporate of the Company; 

b)  a liability for a pecuniary penalty order under section 1317G Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or a compensation order under section 

1317H Corporations Act 2001 (Cth); 

c)  a liability owed to a person other than the Company that did not arise out of conduct in good faith. 

The Company has paid premiums in respect of a contract insuring its Directors, the Company Secretary and Executive Officers for the 
financial year ended 31 December 2018. Under the Company’s Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy, the Company cannot 
release the nature of the liabilities insured by the policy or the amount of the premium.

of its audit engagement agreement, against claims by third parties arising from the audit. No payment has been made to indemnify 
PricewaterhouseCoopers during or since the financial year.

Directors’ reportNON‑AUDIT SERVICES
During the year the Company’s auditor performed non-audit services being tax advice 
relating to group structure and incentive plan structure. The provision of non-audit 
services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), and the Directors are satisfied that the nature, scope and 
quantum of the non-audit services provided did not compromise auditor independence. 
The details of the services provided and their costs are as follows:-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1.  CORPORATE 
INFORMATION
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Telix” or 
‘Company”) is a Melbourne headquartered 
oncology company that is developing 
a pipeline of “molecularly targeted 
radiation”, or “MTR”, products for unmet 
needs in cancer care. The Company 
was established on 3 January 2017. 
The Company completed an initial 
public offering (IPO) and listed on the on 
the Australian Securities Exchange on 
15 November 2017. Telix is the Parent 
company of the Telix Pharmaceuticals 
Group (“Group”).

The principal activities during the year 
were targeted to delivery against the 
corporate objectives and key milestones 
published during and since the IPO. These 
activities included the establishment of the 
supply chain and production network for 
Telix’s three primary programs – TLX101 
(glioblastoma), TLX250 (renal cancer) 
and TLX591 (prostate cancer); clinical 
trial Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) 
manufacturing for TLX101 and TLX250; 
the launch of a confirmatory Phase III 
clinical trial for TLX250; the launch of the 
Phase I/II clinical trial for TLX101; and 
the establishment of multiple commercial 
partnerships in key markets established 
for prostate cancer and the renal cancer 
pipeline. The Company also concluded the 
acquisition of Atlab Pharma SAS (Atlab) on 
11 September 2018 and Advanced Nuclear 
Medicine Ingredients SA (ANMI) on 24 
December 2018.

This consolidated financial report of Telix 
Pharmaceuticals Limited for the year 
ended 31 December 2018 was authorised 
for issue in accordance with a resolution of 
the Directors on 28 February 2019.

2.  SEGMENT 
REPORTING
The Telix Pharmaceuticals Group is 
an oncology group with operations in 
Australia, the United States, Belgium and 
Japan. The Group does not currently 
consider that the risks and returns of the 

Group are affected by differences in either 
the products or services it provides, nor 
the geographical areas in which the Group 
operates. As such the Group operates 
as one segment. Group performance is 
evaluated based on operating profit or 
loss and is measured consistently with 
profit or loss in the financial statements. 
Group financing (including finance costs 
and finance income) and income taxes are 
managed on a Group basis.

3.  SUMMARY 
OF SIGNIFICANT 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies 
that have been used in the preparation 
of these financial statements are 
summarised below.

3.1  Going concern

The Group is a development stage 
medical biotechnology company 
and as such expects to be utilising 
cash until its research activities have 
become marketable. For the year ended 
31 December 2018, the Group incurred 
an operating loss of $13,829,825 and an 
operating cash outflow of $20,749,140. 
As at 31 December 2018 the net assets 
of the Group stood at $52,904,410 (2017: 
$49,292,795), with cash on hand at 
$25,771,055 (2017: $48,758,958).

The Group has a recorded current trade 
and other receivables in the amount of 
$7,757,864 (2017: $338,799) from the 
Australian Taxation Office in respect of its 
R&D tax incentive claim for eligible R&D 
activities undertaken in the year to 31 
December. The Group expects to receive 
this amount during the 12 months ending 
31 December 2019. The Group expects 
the R&D tax incentive to be applicable 
in subsequent years for eligible R&D 
activities undertaken.

Cash on hand at 31 December 2018 is 
considered sufficient to meet the Group’s 
forecast cash outflows in relation to 
research and development activities 
currently underway and other committed 

business activities for at least 12 months 
from the date of this report. While there 
is uncertainty in the Group’s cashflow 
forecast in relation to the proposed 
expenditure on research and development 
which may impact the forecast cash 
position, the Directors believe the Group 
will be able to maintain sufficient cash 
reserves for those activities. 

Further, in accordance with published 
strategy, the Group will seek to pursue 
options to raise additional funds. The 
Group has a history of successfully 
raising capital with $8.5 million raised in 
January 2017, and $50 million raised in 
the Initial Public Offering on the ASX in 
November 2017.

On this basis, the Directors are satisfied 
that the Group continues to be a going 
concern as at the date of this report. 
Further, the Directors are of the opinion 
that no asset is likely to be realised for an 
amount less than the amount at which it is 
recorded in the consolidated statement of 
financial position as at 31 December 2018.

As such, no adjustment has been 
made to the financial report relating 
to the recoverability and classification 
of the asset carrying amounts or the 
classification of liabilities that might be 
necessary should the Group not continue 
as a going concern.

3.2  Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial 
statements have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board and the Corporations Act 2001 
(Cth). Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 
is a for-profit entity for the purpose of 
preparing the financial statements. 
Comparative figures presented in the 
financial statements represent an 
accounting period from 3 January 2017 to 
31 December 2017.

Telix Pharmaceuticals

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

a. 

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements 
of the Telix Pharmaceuticals Group 
also comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by 
the International Accounting Standards 
Board (IASB). 

b. 

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been 
prepared on a historical cost basis, 
except for the following: available-for-sale 
financial assets, financial assets and 
liabilities (including derivative instruments) 
certain classes of property, plant and 
equipment and investment property – 
measured at fair value, and assets held 
for sale – measured at fair value less cost 
of disposal.

New and amended 

c. 
standards adopted

The Group has applied the following 
standards and amendments for the 
first time for their annual reporting 
year commencing 1 January 2018. 
The application of these standards 
has not had a material impact to the 
financial statements: AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers. 

The Group has adopted AASB 2016‑5 
Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Classification and 
Measurement of Share‑based Payment 
Transactions and Interpretation 22 
Foreign Currency Transactions and 
Advance Consideration. 

The Group has elected to early-adopt the 
following amendment: AASB 2018‑6: 
Business Combinations, Definitions of a 
Business issued in December 2018. This 
Standard makes amendments to AASB 3 
Business Combinations (August 2015). 
The Standard amends AASB 3 to clarify 
the definition of a business, assisting 
entities to determine whether a transaction 

36
36
36

Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018

should be accounted for as a business 
combination or as an asset acquisition.

d. 
New standards and 
interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and 
interpretations have been published that 
are not mandatory for 31 December 2018 
reporting periods and have not been 
early-adopted by the Group. The Group’s 
assessment of the impact of these new 
standards and interpretations is set 
out below. 

AASB 16 Leases: AASB 16 replaces the 
current dual operating/finance lease 
accounting model for lessees under 
AASB 117 Leases and the guidance 
contained in Interpretation 4 Determining 
whether an Arrangement contains a 
Lease. The new standard introduces 
a single, on-balance sheet accounting 
model, similar to the current finance lease 
accounting. Under the new standard 
the Group will be required to recognise 
a ‘right-of-use’ asset and a lease liability 
for all identified leased assets. The 
current operating lease expense will be 
replaced with a depreciation and finance 
charge. The standard is applicable from 
1 January 2019 with early adoption 
permitted with some targeted relief from 
the application of the lease accounting 
model where a lease is for a term of 
12 months or less and for low value items. 
The new standard will primarily impact 
the Group’s accounting for operating 
leases and will result in higher assets 
and liabilities on the balance sheet. 
As at 31 December 2018 the Group’s 
undiscounted non-cancellable operating 
lease commitment is $61,827 (refer note 
23). The present value of the Group’s 
operating lease payments as defined 
under the new standard will be recognised 
as lease liabilities on the balance sheet.

Earnings before significant items, interest, 
tax, depreciation and amortisation 
(EBITDA), will increase as the operating 
lease cost (expense of $163,661 for FY18) 

that is currently charged against EBITDA 
will be replaced by a depreciation and 
interest charge which are excluded from 
the EBITDA measure. The replacement of 
the lease expense with a depreciation and 
finance charge under the new standard is 
not anticipated to significantly impact the 
loss before tax result of the Group. Under 
the new standard the operating cash flow 
of the Group will increase as the element 
of cash paid attributable to the repayment 
of lease principal will instead be included 
in financing cash flows. The net increase/
decrease in cash and cash equivalents will 
remain the same.

The adoption of AASB 16 is not expected 
to have material impact on the financial 
position of the Group. It is anticipated 
that the Group will apply the modified 
retrospective approach on adoption. 
Under this approach the right of use 
asset may be deemed to be equivalent 
to the liability at transition or calculated 
retrospectively as at inception of the lease, 
the determination is made on a lease-by 
lease basis. The detailed assessment of 
the impact of AASB 16 is ongoing. To date, 
work has focused on the identification 
and understanding of the provisions of 
the standard that will most impact the 
Group, identifying the lease population 
and obtaining copies of all contracts, and 
where required adapting the contract 
review process. In FY19, work on these 
issues and their resolution will continue.

  Principles of 

3.3 
consolidation

a. 

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including 
structured entities) over which the Group 
has control. The Group controls an 
entity when the Group is exposed to, or 
has rights to, variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the 
ability to affect those returns through its 
power to direct the activities of the entity. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from 

Directors’ reportNotes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 31 December 2018the date on which control is transferred to 
the Group. They are deconsolidated from 
the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances 
and unrealised gains on transactions 
between Group companies are eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated 
unless the transaction provides evidence 
of an impairment of the transferred asset. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed where necessary to ensure 
consistency with the policies adopted by 
the Group.

3.4  Current and 
non‑current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the 
statement of financial position based on 
current and non-current classification. 
An asset is current when it is expected 
to be realised or intended to be sold or 
consumed in the Group’s normal operating 
cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of 
trading; it is expected to be realised within 
12 months after the reporting period; or 
the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless 
restricted from being exchanged or used 
to settle a liability for at least 12 months 
after the reporting period. All other assets 
are classified as non-current. A liability is 
current when it is expected to be settled 
in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is 
held primarily for the purpose of trading; 
it is due to be settled within 12 months 
after the reporting period; or there is no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after 
the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are always classified 
as non-current.

3.5  Cash and cash 
equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the 
consolidated statement of cash flows, 
cash and cash equivalents includes 
cash on hand, deposits held at call with 
financial institutions, other short-term, 
highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less that 

are readily convertible to known amounts 
of cash and which are subject to an 
insignificant risk of changes in value, 
and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts 
are shown within borrowings in current 
liabilities in the consolidated statement of 
financial position.

3.6  Provisions, contingent 
liabilities and contingent 
assets

Provisions are recognised when the Group 
has a present (legal or constructive) 
obligation as a result of a past event, it 
is probable the Group will be required 
to settle the obligation, and a reliable 
estimate can be made of the amount of 
the obligation. The amount recognised 
as a provision is the best estimate of the 
consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at the reporting date, taking 
into account the risks and uncertainties 
surrounding the obligation. If the time 
value of money is material, provisions are 
discounted using a current pre-tax rate 
specific to the liability. The increase in the 
provision resulting from the passage of 
time is recognised as a finance cost.

3.7  Foreign currency 
translation

a. 
Functional and 
presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements 
of the Group are measured in Australian 
dollars, being the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity 
operates (‘the functional currency’). The 
financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars.

b. 

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are 
translated into the functional currency 
using the exchange rates at the dates 
of the transactions. Foreign exchange 
gains and losses resulting from the 
settlement of such transactions and 
from the translation of monetary assets 
and liabilities denominated in foreign 

currencies at year end exchange rates 
are generally recognised in profit or 
loss. They are deferred in equity if they 
relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and 
qualifying net investment hedges or are 
attributable to part of the net investment 
in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange 
gains and losses that relate to borrowings 
are presented in the statement of profit 
or loss, within finance costs. All other 
foreign exchange gains and losses are 
presented in the statement of profit or 
loss on a net basis within other income or 
other expenses.

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

c. 

Group companies

The results and financial position of 
foreign operations (none of which has the 
currency of a hyperinflationary economy) 
that have a functional currency different 
from the presentation currency are 
translated into the presentation currency 
as follows:

 f assets and liabilities for each 

consolidated statement of financial 
position presented are translated 
at the closing rate at the date of 
that consolidated statement of 
financial position

 f

income and expenses for each 
consolidated statement of 
total comprehensive income 
and consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income are translated 
at average exchange rates (unless

Telix Pharmaceuticals

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

this is not a reasonable approximation 
of the cumulative effect of the rates 
prevailing on the transaction dates, 
in which case income and expenses 
are translated at the dates of the 
transactions), and

 f all resulting exchange differences 

are recognised in other 
comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences 
arising from the translation of any 
net investment in foreign entities, 
and of borrowings and other financial 
instruments designated as hedges of 
such investments, are recognised in other 
comprehensive income. When a foreign 
operation is sold or any borrowings 
forming part of the net investment 
are repaid, the associated exchange 
differences are reclassified to profit or loss, 
as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill 
and fair value adjustments arising on 
the acquisition of a foreign operation are 
treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operation and translated at the 
closing rate.

3.8  Government grant 
income (R&D tax incentive 
income)

Income from government grants are 
recognised at their fair value where there 
is a reasonable assurance that the grant 
will be received and the Group will comply 
with all attached conditions. Income 
from government grants is recognised in 
the consolidated income statement on 
a systematic basis over the periods in 
which the entity recognises as expense 
the related costs for which the grants 
are intended to compensate. See further 
information in significant judgements 
and estimates.

3.9 

Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for 
the period is the tax payable on the 
current period’s taxable income based 

38
38
38

Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018

on the applicable income tax rate for 
each jurisdiction adjusted by changes 
in deferred tax assets and liabilities 
attributable to temporary differences and 
to unused tax losses.

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

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

a. 

Tax consolidation regime

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited and its 
wholly-owned Australian resident entities 
have formed a tax-consolidated group and 
are therefore taxed as a single entity. The 
head entity within the tax-consolidated 
group is Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited. 
The Company, and the members of 
the tax-consolidated group, recognise 
their own current tax expense/income 
and deferred tax assets and liabilities 
arising from temporary differences using 
the ‘stand alone taxpayer’ approach by 
reference to the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities in the separate 
financial statements of each entity 
and the tax values applying under tax 
consolidation. In addition to its current 

and deferred tax balances, the Company 
also recognises the current tax liabilities 
(or assets), and the deferred tax assets 
arising from unused tax losses and unused 
tax credits assumed from members of 
the tax-consolidated group, as part of the 
tax-consolidation arrangement. Assets 
or liabilities arising as part of the tax 
consolidation arrangement are recognised 
as current amounts receivable or payable 
from the other entities within the tax-
consolidated group.

Nature of tax sharing 

b. 
agreement

Upon tax consolidation, the entities within 
the tax-consolidated group entered into 
a tax sharing agreement. The terms of 
this agreement specify the methods of 
allocating any tax liability in the event 
of default by the Company on its group 
payment obligations and the treatment 
where a subsidiary member exits the 
group. The tax liability otherwise remains 
with the Company for tax purposes.

3.10  Business combinations

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 the:

 f

 f

fair values of the assets transferred

liabilities incurred to the former owners 
of the acquired business

 f equity interests issued by the Group

fair value of any asset or liability 
resulting from a contingent 
consideration arrangement, and

fair value of any pre-existing equity 
interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities 
and contingent liabilities assumed in a 
business combination are, with limited 
exceptions, measured initially at their 

Directors’ reportNotes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 31 December 2018fair values at the acquisition date. The 
Group recognises any non-controlling 
interest in the acquired entity on an 
acquisition-by-acquisition basis either 
at fair value or at the non-controlling 
interest’s proportionate share of the 
acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. 
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as 
incurred. The excess of the consideration 
transferred, amount of any non-controlling 
interest in the acquired entity, and 
acquisition-date fair value of any previous 
equity interest in the acquired entity 
over the fair value of the net identifiable 
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. 
If those amounts are less than the fair 
value of the net identifiable assets of 
the subsidiary acquired, the difference is 
recognised directly in profit or loss as a 
bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash 
consideration is deferred, the amounts 
payable in the future are discounted 
to their present value as at the date of 
exchange. The discount rate used is the 
entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being 
the rate at which a similar borrowing could 
be obtained from an independent financier 
under comparable terms and conditions. 
Contingent consideration is classified 
either as equity or a financial liability. 
Amounts classified as a financial liability 
are subsequently remeasured to fair value 
with changes in fair value recognised in 
profit or loss.

If the business combination is achieved in 
stages, the acquisition date carrying value 
of the acquirer’s previously held equity 
interest in the acquiree is remeasured 
to fair value at the acquisition date. 
Any gains or losses arising from such 
remeasurement are recognised in profit 
or loss. If the initial accounting for a 
business combination is incomplete by 
the end of the reporting period in which 
the combination occurs, the Group reports 
provisional amounts for the items for 
which the accounting is incomplete. 
Those provisional amounts are adjusted 
during the measurement period (see 
below), or additional assets or liabilities 

are recognised, to reflect new information 
obtained about facts and circumstances 
that existed as of the acquisition date 
that, if known, would have affected the 
amounts recognised as of that date. The 
measurement period is the period from the 
date of acquisition to the date the Group 
obtains complete information about facts 
and circumstances that existed as of 
the acquisition date – and is subject to a 
maximum of one year.

3.11  Intangible assets

a. 

Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries 
is included in intangible assets. Goodwill 
is not amortised but it is tested for 
impairment annually, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that it might be impaired, and 
is carried at cost less accumulated 
impairment losses. Gains and losses 
on the disposal of an entity include the 
carrying amount of goodwill relating to 
the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to 
cash-generating units for the purpose of 
impairment testing. The allocation is made 
to those cash-generating units or groups 
of cash-generating units that are expected 
to benefit from the business combination 
in which the goodwill arose.

b. 
Patents, trademarks, 
licences and customer contracts

Separately acquired trademarks and 
licences are shown at historical cost. 
Trademarks, licenses and customer 
contracts 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. The useful of these 
intangibles assets is 20 years.

c. 

Intellectual property

Intellectual Property has been realised on 
the acquisition of Therapeia (2017), Atlab 
(2018) and ANMI (2018). The Intellectual 
Property associated with the Therapeia 
and Atlab acquisitions is recorded as 

indefinite useful lived assets as it is not 
yet ready for use. At the point the asset 
is ready for use, the useful life will be 
reassessed as a definite lived asset and 
amortised over an appropriate period. 
All assets will be tested annually for 
impairment and subsequently carried at 
cost less accumulated impairment losses 
and/or accumulated amortisation. The 
Intellectual Property associated with ANMI 
is recorded with a useful life of five years 
and will be amortised over the period. An 
impairment trigger assessment will be 
performed annually. 

d. 

Research and development

Research expenditure on internal projects 
is recognised as an expense as incurred. 
Costs incurred on development projects 
(relating to the design and testing of new 
or improved products) are recognised 
as intangible assets when it is probable 
that the project will, after considering 
its commercial and technical feasibility, 
be completed and generate future 
economic benefits and its costs can 
be measured reliably. The expenditure 
that could be recognised comprises 
all directly attributable costs, including 
costs of materials, services, direct 
labour and an appropriate proportion of 
overheads. Other expenditures that do 
not meet these criteria are recognised 
as an expense as incurred. As the Group 
has not met the requirement under the 
standard to recognise costs in relation to 
development as intangible assets, these 
amounts have been expensed within the 
financial statements.

3.12  Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have 
an indefinite useful life are not subject to 
amortisation and are tested annually for 
impairment, or more frequently if events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that 
they might be impaired. Other assets are 
tested for impairment whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. 
An impairment loss is recognised for the 
amount by which the asset’s carrying 

39

39

Telix Pharmaceuticals
Telix Pharmaceuticals

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 
The recoverable amount is the higher of 
an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal 
and value in use. For the purposes of 
assessing impairment, assets are grouped 
at the lowest levels for which there are 
separately identifiable cash inflows which 
are largely independent of the cash inflows 
from other assets or Groups of assets 
(cash-generating units). Non-financial 
assets other than goodwill that suffered 
an impairment are reviewed for possible 
reversal of the impairment at the end of 
each reporting period.

3.13  Investments and other 
financial assets

a. 

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets 
in the following measurement categories: 
those to be measured subsequently at fair 
value (either through other comprehensive 
income (OCI) or through profit or loss), 
and those to be measured at amortised 
cost. The classification depends on the 
entity’s business model for managing the 
financial assets and the contractual terms 
of the cash flows. For assets measured 
at fair value, gains and losses will either 
be recorded in profit or loss or (OCI). For 
investments in equity instruments that 
are not held for trading, this will depend 
on whether the Group has made an 
irrevocable election at the time of initial 
recognition to account for the equity 
investment at fair value through other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI). The 
Group reclassifies debt investments when 
and only when its business model for 
managing those assets changes.

b. 

Reclassification

The Group may choose to reclassify a 
non-derivative trading financial asset 
out of the held for trading category if 
the financial asset is no longer held for 
the purpose of selling it in the near term. 
Financial assets other than loans and 
receivables are permitted to be reclassified 

40
40
40

Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018

out of the held for trading category only in 
rare circumstances arising from a single 
event that is unusual and highly unlikely 
to recur in the near term. In addition, the 
Group may choose to reclassify financial 
assets that would meet the definition of 
loans and receivables out of the held for 
trading or available-for-sale categories 
if the Group has the intention and ability 
to hold these financial assets for the 
foreseeable future or until maturity at the 
date of reclassification.

Reclassifications are made at fair 
value as of the reclassification date. 
Fair value becomes the new cost or 
amortised cost as applicable, and no 
reversals of fair value gains or losses 
recorded before reclassification date are 
subsequently made. Effective interest 
rates for financial assets reclassified 
to loans and receivables and held-to-
maturity categories are determined at the 
reclassification date. Further increases in 
estimates of cash flows adjust effective 
interest rates prospectively.

Recognition and 

c. 
derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of 
financial assets are recognised on 
trade-date, the date on which the Group 
commits to purchase or sell the asset. 
Financial assets are derecognised when 
the rights to receive cash flows from the 
financial assets have expired or have been 
transferred and the Group has transferred 
substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership.

d. 

Measurement

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

Dividends on financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss and available-for-sale 
equity instruments are recognised in profit 
or loss as part of revenue from continuing 
operations when the Group’s right to 
receive payments is established. Interest 
income from financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss is included in the 
net gains/(losses). Interest on available-
for-sale securities, held-to-maturity 
investments and loans and receivables 
calculated using the effective interest 
method is recognised in the statement 
of profit or loss as part of revenue from 
continuing operations.

e. 

Impairment

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

Assets carried at amortised cost: For loans 
and receivables, the amount of the loss 
is measured as the difference between 
the asset’s carrying amount and the 
present value of estimated future cash 
flows (excluding future credit losses that 
have not been incurred) discounted at 
the financial asset’s original effective 
interest rate. The carrying amount of 
the asset is reduced and the amount of 
the loss is recognised in profit or loss. 
If a loan or held-to-maturity investment 
has a variable interest rate, the discount 

Directors’ reportNotes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 31 December 2018rate for measuring any impairment 
loss is the current effective interest 
rate determined under the contract. As 
a practical expedient, the Group may 
measure impairment on the basis of an 
instrument’s fair value using an observable 
market price. If, in a subsequent period, the 
amount of the impairment loss decreases 
and the decrease can be related objectively 
to an event occurring after the impairment 
was recognised (such as an improvement 
in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of 
the previously recognised impairment loss 
is recognised in profit or loss.

Assets classified as available-for-sale: If 
there is objective evidence of impairment 
for available-for-sale financial assets, 
the cumulative loss – measured as 
the difference between the acquisition 
cost and the current fair value, less any 
impairment loss on that financial asset 
previously recognised in profit or loss – 
is removed from equity and recognised 
in profit or loss. Impairment losses on 
equity instruments that were recognised 
in profit or loss are not reversed through 
profit or loss in a subsequent period. If the 
fair value of a debt instrument classified 
as available-for-sale increases in a 
subsequent period and the increase can 
be objectively related to an event occurring 
after the impairment loss was recognised 
in profit or loss, the impairment loss is 
reversed through profit or loss.

f. 

Fair value measurement

The Group’s policy is to recognise 
transfers into and transfers out of fair 
value hierarchy levels as at the end of the 
reporting period.

Level 1: The fair value of financial 
instruments traded in active markets (such 
as publicly traded derivatives, and trading 
and available-for-sale securities) is based 
on quoted market prices at the end of the 
reporting period. The quoted market price 
used for financial assets held by the Group 
is the current bid price. These instruments 
are included in level 1. 

Level 2: The fair value of financial 
instruments that are not traded in an 

active market (for example, foreign 
exchange contracts) is determined using 
valuation techniques which maximize 
the use of observable market data and 
rely as little as possible on entity specific 
estimates. If all significant inputs required 
to fair value an instrument are observable, 
the instrument is included in level 2. 

Level 3: If one or more of the significant 
inputs are not based on observable 
market data, the instrument is included 
in level 3. This is the case for contingent 
consideration liabilities.

3.14  Property, plant and 
equipment

All property, plant and equipment is 
stated at historical cost less depreciation. 
Historical cost includes expenditure that 
is directly attributable to the acquisition of 
the items. Cost may also include transfers 
from equity of any gains or losses on 
qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign 
currency purchases of property, plant 
and equipment. 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. 
The carrying amount of any component 
accounted for as a separate asset is 
derecognised when replaced. All other 
repairs and maintenance are charged to 
profit or loss during the reporting period in 
which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the 
straight-line method to allocate their cost, 
net of their residual values, over their 
estimated useful lives. The assets’ residual 
values and useful lives are reviewed, and 
adjusted if appropriate, at the end of 
each reporting period. 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. 

The useful lives of assets are as follows: 

 f Plant and equipment: 3-5 years

 f Furniture, fittings and equipment: 

3-5 years

 f Leased plant and equipment: 3-5 years

Gains and losses on disposals are 
determined by comparing proceeds 
with carrying amount. These are 
included in profit or loss. When revalued 
assets are sold, it is Group policy to 
transfer any amounts included in other 
reserves in respect of those assets to 
retained earnings.

3.15  Trade and other 
payables

These amounts represent liabilities for 
goods and services provided to the Group 
prior to the end of financial year which 
are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured 
and are usually paid within 30 days of 
recognition. Trade and other payables 
are presented as current liabilities unless 
payment is not due within 12 months after 
the reporting period. They are recognised 
initially at their fair value and subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method.

3.16  Inventories

Raw materials and 

a. 
stores, work in progress and 
finished goods

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. Cost includes 
the reclassification from equity of any 
gains or losses on qualifying cash flow 
hedges relating to purchases of raw 
material but excludes borrowing costs. 
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.

3.17  Employee benefits

Employee benefits are recognised as an 
expense, unless the cost qualifies to be 
capitalised as an asset.

a. 

Short‑term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including 
non-monetary benefits, annual leave and 
accumulating sick leave that are expected 
to be settled wholly within 12 months 
after the end of the period in which the 
employees render the related service 
are recognised in respect of employees’ 
services up to the end of the reporting 
period and are measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled. The liabilities are presented as 
current employee benefit obligations in the 
balance sheet.

Other long‑term employee 

b. 
benefit obligations

The liabilities for long service leave 
and annual leave are not expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months 
after the end of the period in which the 
employees render the related service. They 
are therefore measured as the present 
value of expected future payments to 
be made in respect of services provided 
by employees up to the end of the 
reporting period using the projected unit 
credit method. Consideration is given to 
expected future wage and salary levels, 
experience of employee departures 
and periods of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using market 
yields at the end of the reporting period of 
high-quality corporate bonds with terms 
and currencies that match, as closely 
as possible, the estimated future cash 
outflows. Re-measurements as a result 
of experience adjustments and changes 

42
42
42

Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018
Annual Report 2018

in actuarial assumptions are recognised 
in profit or loss. The obligations are 
presented as current liabilities in the 
balance sheet if the entity does not have 
an unconditional right to defer settlement 
for at least twelve months after the 
reporting period, regardless of when the 
actual settlement is expected to occur.

c. 

Share‑based payments

Equity-settled and cash-settled share-
based compensation benefits are 
provided to employees. Equity-settled 
transactions are awards of shares, options 
or performance rights over shares, that 
are provided to employees. Cash-settled 
transactions are awards of cash for the 
exchange of services, where the amount 
of cash is determined by reference to the 
share price. The cost of equity-settled 
transactions are measured at fair value 
on grant date. Fair value is determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes 
option pricing model that takes into 
account the exercise price, the term of 
the option, the impact of dilution, the 
share price at grant date and expected 
price volatility of the underlying share, the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free 
interest rate for the term of the option and 
volatility. No account is taken of any other 
vesting conditions.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is 
initially, and at each reporting date until 
vested, determined by applying either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing 
model, taking into consideration the terms 
and conditions on which the award was 
granted. The cumulative charge to profit 
or loss until settlement of the liability is 
calculated as follows:

 f during the vesting period, the liability at 
each reporting date is the fair value of 
the award at that date multiplied by the 
expired portion of the vesting period.

 f

from the end of the vesting period until 
settlement of the award, the liability is 
the full fair value of the liability at the 
reporting date.

All changes in the liability are recognised in 
profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-
settled transactions is the cash paid to 
settle the liability. Market conditions are 
taken into consideration in determining 
fair value. Therefore, any awards subject 
to market conditions are considered to 
vest irrespective of whether or not that 
market condition has been met, provided 
all other conditions are satisfied. If 
equity-settled awards are modified, as a 
minimum an expense is recognised as if 
the modification has not been made. An 
additional expense is recognised, over 
the remaining vesting period, for any 
modification that increases the total fair 
value of the share-based compensation 
benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within 
the control of the consolidated entity 
or employee, the failure to satisfy the 
condition is treated as a cancellation. If 
the condition is not within the control of 
the consolidated entity or employee and 
is not satisfied during the vesting period, 
any remaining expense for the award is 
recognised over the remaining vesting 
period, unless the award is forfeited. If 
equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is 
treated as if it has vested on the date of 
cancellation, and any remaining expense 
is recognised immediately. If a new 
replacement award is substituted for 
the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award is treated as if they were a 
modification.

d. 

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when 
employment is terminated by the Group 
before the normal retirement date, or 
when an employee accepts voluntary 
redundancy in exchange for these benefits. 
The Group recognises termination 
benefits at the earlier of the following 
dates: (a) when the Group can no longer 
withdraw the offer of those benefits; and 
(b) when the entity recognises costs for 
a restructuring that is within the scope 

Directors’ reportNotes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 31 December 2018of AASB 137 and involves the payment 
of terminations benefits. In the case of 
an offer made to encourage voluntary 
redundancy, the termination benefits 
are measured based on the number of 
employees expected to accept the offer. 
Benefits falling due more than 12 months 
after the end of the reporting period are 
discounted to present value.

3.18  Earnings per share

a. 

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by 
dividing: the profit attributable to owners 
of the company, excluding any costs of 
servicing equity other than ordinary shares, 
and by the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding during 
the financial period, adjusted for bonus 
elements in ordinary shares issued during 
the period and excluding treasury shares.

b. 

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the 
figures used in the determination of basic 
earnings per share to take into account: 
the after-income tax effect of interest and 
other financing costs associated with 
dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the 
weighted average number of additional 
ordinary shares that would have been 
outstanding assuming the conversion of 
all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

3.19  Goods and Services 
Tax (GST)

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

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

3.20  Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative information 
has been re-classified to achieve 
consistency in disclosure with current 
financial amounts and other disclosures.

cost using the effective interest rate 
method, less a loss allowance provision. 
The carrying value of trade and other 
receivables, less impairment provisions, is 
considered to approximate fair value, due 
to the short-term nature of the receivables.

3.21  Revenue

The Group provides consulting and 
support services from a single contract. 
Revenue from providing services is 
recognised in the accounting period 
in which the services are rendered. 
Revenue is recognised over time based 
on the actual service provided as the 
customer receives and uses the benefits 
simultaneously. Revenue is recognised in 
a manner which depicts the completion of 
the Group’s performance obligation. 

Where contracts include multiple 
performance obligations, the transaction 
price will be allocated to each performance 
obligation based on the stand-alone 
selling prices. Where these are not 
directly observable, they are estimated 
based on expected cost plus margin. 
Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of 
progress toward completion are revised 
if circumstances change. Any resulting 
increases or decreases in estimated 
revenues or costs are reflected in 
profit or loss in the period in which the 
circumstances that give rise to the revision 
become known by management. 

The Group does not expect to have any 
contracts where the period between the 
transfer of the promised services to the 
customer and payment by the customer 
exceeds one year. As a consequence, 
the Group does not adjust any of the 
transaction prices for the time value 
of money. 

3.22  Receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables 
are all classified as financial assets held at 
amortised cost.

a. 

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at 
fair value and subsequently at amortised 

Impairment of trade 

b. 
receivables

The collectability of trade and other 
receivables is reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Individual debts which are known 
to be uncollectible are written off when 
identified. The Group recognises an 
impairment provision based upon 
anticipated lifetime losses of trade 
receivables. The anticipated losses are 
determined with reference to historical 
loss experience and is regularly reviewed 
and updated.

3.23  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. 
To the extent there is no evidence that it 
is probable that some or all of the facility 
will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised 
as a prepayment for liquidity services and 
amortised over the period of the facility to 
which it relates. 

Borrowings are removed from the balance 
sheet 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 noncash assets transferred 
or liabilities assumed, is recognised

 f vendors in connection with preclinical 

development activities; and

the underlying activities of the accruals to 
qualify for R&D tax incentives.

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. 

3.24  Critical estimates, 
judgements and errors 

Accrued R&D expenditure 

As part of the process of preparing our 
financial statements, the Group is required 
to estimate its accrued expenses. This 
process involves reviewing open contracts 
and purchase orders, communicating with 
our personnel to identify services that 
have been performed on our behalf and 
estimating the level of service performed 
and the associated cost incurred for the 
service when the Group has not yet been 
invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual 
cost. The majority of service providers 
invoice us monthly in arrears for services 
performed or when contractual milestones 
are met. The Group estimates accrued 
expenses as of each balance sheet date 
in the financial statements based on facts 
and circumstances known to us at that 
time. The Group periodically confirms the 
accuracy of estimates with the service 
providers and make adjustments if 
necessary. Examples of estimated accrued 
expenses include fees paid to:

(CROs) in connection with clinical 
studies;

Recognition of R&D tax 
incentive income

The Australian government allows a 
refundable research and development 
(R&D) tax incentive to eligible companies 
with an annual aggregate turnover of less 
than $20.0 million. Eligible companies 
can receive a refundable tax offset 
at a rate of 43.5% of their research 
and development expenditure. On the 
3 August 2018 Telix Pharmaceuticals 
Limited was granted certificates from 
the Department of Innovation, Industry 
and Science (“Innovation and Science 
Australia”) for an advance/overseas R&D 
tax finding providing approval for activities 
that are eligible for R&D tax incentive in 
relation to qualifying expenditure of up to 
$55.2 million.

The research and development activities 
have been assessed by Management and 
also by an independent subject matter 
expert to determine which areas eligible 
under the R&D tax incentive scheme. This 
analysis includes an assessment of both 
the domestic and international spend. For 
the year ended 31 December 2018 the 
Group has recognised $10,141,969 in the 
consolidated income statement of which 
$1,236,383 related to the international 
component for the year ended 
31 December 2017 following the receipt of 
the advance/overseas R&D tax finding.

The Group has recognised $8,905,586 
of R&D tax incentive receivables, 
$1,135,571 of which has been classified 
as non-current as it relates to tax 
incentives on accrued R&D expenditure 
where services have been provided and 
accrued for but are yet to be invoiced 
by the vendor. These amounts will be 
claimed in subsequent years following 
receipt of invoice. The Group considers 

Contingent consideration liability

The Group acquired Advanced Nuclear 
Medicine Ingredients SA (ANMI) on the 
24 December 2018. The Group is liable 
for future variable payments which are 
calculated based on the percentage of net 
sales for a five year period following the 
achievement of regulatory approval. The 
percentage of net sales varies depending 
on the net sales achieved in Europe or 
the United States. The Group also holds 
an option to buy-out the remaining 
future variable payments in the third year 
following the achievement of regulatory 
approval if specified sales thresholds 
are met.

The Group has calculated a preliminary 
fair value assessment of contingent 
consideration liability for the purposes 
of the business combination. A 
preliminary fair value of $10,591,885 
has been recognised at acquisition date 
(24 December 2018) with no movement 
in the fair value from acquisition date to 
year end. The valuation involves significant 
judgement and estimation, the techniques 
used and key assumptions applied include:

a.  Valuation processes: The Group has 
adopted a process to value the 
contingent consideration liability 
internally for the purposes of a 
preliminary fair value assessment. 
This valuation has been completed by 
the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with 
inputs from the Group team members.

b.  Fair value measurement and valuation 
technique used: The contingent 
consideration liability is a Level 3 
financial instrument. The Group 
has used a discounted cash flow 
model to determine the fair value 
of measurements of this Level 3 
instrument. The key assumptions and 
inputs are presented below.

Directors’ reportNotes to the consolidated financial statementsfor the year ended 31 December 2018c.  Key assumptions and inputs: The 

key assumptions of the contingent 
consideration include product 
pricing, market population, market 
penetration, risk adjusted discount 
rates, developmental timelines and 
probability of success. The main 
Level 3 inputs used by the Group are 
evaluated as follows:

-   Risk adjusted discount rate: 16% A 
change in the discount rate by 1% 
would increase/decrease the fair 
value by 4%; 

-   Product pricing: Product price has 
been determined through the 
anticipated price following the 
achievement of regulatory approval, 
using current actual pre-approval 
selling price as a baseline. A change 
in the price per unit assumption of 
10% would increase/decrease the 
fair value by 6%; 

-   Expected sales volumes: Expected 

sales volumes determined through 
assumptions on target market 
population, and market penetration 
in the United States and Europe. 
An increase in the sales volume of 
10% would increase the fair value by 
14%, and a decrease in sales volume 
of 10% would decrease the fair value 
by 12%.

The Group anticipates to finalise fair value 
of contingent consideration measurement 
within the 12 month measurement period.

Valuation of intellectual 
property (ANMI)

AASB 3 Business Combinations requires 
the net identifiable assets acquired in 
an acquisition to be recognised at fair 
value. The Directors have identified a 
preliminary fair value of intangibles assets 
on acquisition relating to intellectual 
property of $21,546,705. The preliminary 
fair value of intellectual property has been 
determined using a discounted cash flow 
model based on the same underlying 
assumptions described above (Contingent 
consideration liability) with additional 
assumptions related to forecast costs 
to achieve regulatory approval, cost of 
goods sold and other selling, general and 
administration costs.

The main Level 3 inputs used by the Group 
are evaluated as follows and summarise 
the quantitative information about the 
significant unobservable inputs used in 
Level 3 fair value measurements including 
the impact a reasonable change to the 
assumptions will have on the fair value:

 f Risk adjusted discount rate: 16%. A 
change in the discount rate by 1% 
would increase/decrease the fair value 
by 4%. 

 f Product pricing: Product price has 

been determined as the anticipated 
price following the achievement of 
regulatory approval, using current 
actual pre-approval selling price as a 
baseline. A change in the price per unit 
assumption of 10% would increase/
decrease the fair value by 12%. 

 f Expected sales volumes: Expected 

sales volumes are determined through 
assumptions on target market 

population and market penetration 
in the United States and Europe. An 
increase in the sales volume of 10% 
would increase the fair value by 23%. A 
decrease in sales volume of 10% would 
decrease the fair value by 20%.

Atlab acquisition qualification as 
an asset purchase

The Group acquired 100% of the shares 
in Atlab on 11 September 2018 for a fair 
value of consideration of $12,796,198. 
The Directors considered the treatment 
of the transaction under AASB 3 
Business Combinations. During the year 
an amendment was made to AASB 3 
(AASB 2018-6: Business Combinations, 
Definitions of a Business, issued in 
December 2018), which has been 
adopted by the Group. This Standard 
makes amendments to AASB 3 Business 
Combinations (August 2015) and clarifies 
the definition of a business, assisting 
entities to determine whether a transaction 
should be accounted for as a business 
combination or as an asset acquisition.

In assessing the qualification as a 
business combination or asset acquisition, 
the Directors determined that the 
acquisition met the requirements of 
the ‘concentration test’ as prescribed 
by the accounting standards. When 
identifying net identifiable assets acquired, 
it was determined that the acquisition 
related to an asset acquisition – being 
predominantly intellectual property.

Research and development activities have been assessed by the Group and by an independent subject matter expert to determine which 
areas are likely to be eligible under the R&D tax incentive scheme. This assessment includes an review of both domestic and international 
spend. For the year ended 31 December 2018 the Group has recognised a total receivable of $8,905,586 of which $7,757,864 (2017: 
$338,799) has been classified as current and $1,135,571 (2017: $nil) has been classified as non-current. The R&D tax incentive receivable 
has been determined based on a combination of eligible domestic and international expenditure of $20,472,611 (2017: $778,848) at a 
rate of 43.5c tax incentive rebate per eligible R&D dollar spent. The credit risk associated with this receivable is low.

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, being intellectual property, were acquired as part of the acquisition of ANMI on 
24 December 2018 (See note 20.1). The Directors used a fair value less costs to sell approach to assess the carrying value of the 
associated goodwill and intangible assets, considering the market transaction price and any subsequent indicators of impairment. The 
Directors have identified no impairment indicators since acquisition and note the following factors in their assessment:

Impairment test for goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets: Atlab intellectual property

Indefinite life intangible assets, being intellectual property, were acquired as part of the asset purchase with Atlab on 11 September 2018 
(See note 20.2). The Directors used a fair value less cost to sell approach to assess the carrying value of the associated intangible assets, 
considering the market transaction price and any subsequent indicators of impairment. The Directors have identified no impairment 
indicators since acquisition and note the following factors in their assessment:

 f The acquisition was an arms-length transaction

 f There have been no significant changes in the business since acquisition

 f There have been no significant changes in the market that would suggest a reduction in value of the intellectual property 

since acquisition.

Impairment test for goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets: Therapeia intellectual property

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, being intellectual property, were acquired as part of the asset purchase with Therapeia 
on 10 October 2017 and are required to be tested for impairment annually. The Directors used a fair value less costs to sell approach 
to assess the carrying value of the associated goodwill and intangible assets. The model is a discounted cash flow forecast, and the 
key assumptions include: sales volumes, price per unit, costs to achieve regulatory approval, probability of success and risk adjusted 
discount rates. The Directors identified no impairment to the goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets in their assessment and the 
model is not considered sensitive to reasonable changes in key assumptions.

(i)  Development loans are provided by local and national government bodies to support the industry in which they operate in their jurisdictions. All loans 

are denominated in Euros and have been translated to Australian dollar at the exchange rate current at 31 December 2018.  

a.  Fair value: For all borrowings, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those 

borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature.

b.  Capital risk management: Capital is defined as the combination of shareholders’ equity, reserves and net debt. The key objective of 
the Group when managing its capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that the Group can continue to 
provide benefits for stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital and funding structure. The aim of the Group’s capital management 
framework is to maintain, monitor and secure access to future funding arrangements to finance the necessary research and 
development activities being performed by the Group. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis 
of the following gearing ratio: Debt as divided by Equity. At 31 December 2018 the Group’s on-balance sheet gearing and leverage ratio 
was 3.3% for 2018 and 0.7% for 2017, respectively.

The Group acquired ANMI on 24 December 2018. The Group is liable for future variable payments which are calculated based on the 
percentage of net sales for a five year period following the achievement of regulatory approval. The percentage of net sales varies 
depending on the net sales achieved in Europe or the United States. The Group holds an option to buy-out the remaining future variable 
payments in the third year following the achievement of regulatory approval if specified sales thresholds are met.

The Group has calculated a preliminary fair value assessment of the contingent consideration liability for the purposes of the business 
combination. A preliminary fair value of $10,591,885 has been recognised as at acquisition date (24 December 2018) with no movement 
in the fair value from acquisition date to year end. For further details regarding the fair value measurement techniques and key 
assumptions refer to note 3.24 - Critical estimates, judgements and errors. For further details on the business combination, refer to

19.  FINANCIAL RISK 
MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a 
variety of financial risks: market risk, 
credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall 
risk management program focuses on 
the unpredictability of markets and seeks 
to minimise potential adverse effects on 
the financial performance of the Group. 
The Group uses different methods to 
measure different types of risk to which it 
is exposed.

19.1  Interest rate risk

The majority of the Group’s borrowings 
have fixed interest rates, and therefore the 
Group is not exposed to any significant 
interest rate risk. There is some exposure 
from the Group’s $350,000 commercial 
loan, which is a variable rate overdraft 
facility, however any reasonable movement 
in interest rates is not expected to have 
a significant impact on the consolidated 
statement of total comprehensive loss.

19.2  Price risk

The Group is not exposed to any 
significant price risk as contracts are 
in place to meet current estimated 
material requirements. 

19.3  Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk of 
fluctuation in fair value or future cash 
flows of a financial instrument as a result 
of changes in foreign exchange rates. The 
Group has certain clinical and regulatory 
activities conducted internationally. The 
main currency exposure to the Group 
is research and development activities 
which are occurring in Europe, the United 
States of America, Japan and Australia. 
As a result of these activities, the Group 
has foreign currency liabilities in Euro’s 
and United States dollars. These foreign 
currency balances give to a currency 
risk, which is the risk of the exchange 
rate moving, in either direction, and 
the impact it may have on the Group’s 
financial performance.

The major foreign currency exposure is 
in US Dollars (USD). This is as a result 
of cash funds held and both receivable 
and payable contracts entered into in this 
currency. The Group maintains foreign 
currency bank accounts denominated in 
USD in order to minimise foreign currency 
risk exposure. The Group had a deficit of 
foreign currency receivables over payables 
of $3,977,604 at 31 December 2018.

The Group’s exposure to the risk of 
changes in foreign exchange rates also 
relates to the Group’s net investments in 
foreign subsidiaries, which predominantly 
include denominations in Euro’s and 
USD, however given the level of current 
investments foreign subsidiaries, the 
impact of this limited.

The Group manages the currency risk by 
evaluating the trend of foreign currency 
rates to the Australian dollar and making 
decisions as to the levels to hold in 
each currency by assessing its future 
activities which will likely be incurred in 
those currencies.

As at 31 December 2018, the Group held 28.5% of its cash in Australian dollars, 62.13% in United States dollars, 8.88% in Euros and 0.48% 
in Japanese Yen.

The balances held at 31 December 2018 that give rise to currency risk exposure are presented in Australian dollars, together with a 
sensitivity analysis which assesses the impact that a change of +/- 10% in the exchange rate as of 31 December 2018 would have on the 
Group’s reporting profit/(loss) after income tax and/or equity balance.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Given 
the absence of loan receivables, the Group’s exposure to credit risk is limited to trade receivables. The Group obtains guarantees where 
appropriate to mitigate credit risk.

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for 
all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days 
past due. The expected loss rates are based on historical payment profiles of sales and the corresponding historical credit losses 
experienced. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting 
the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. As at the 31 December 2018, the expected credit losses are $nil (2017: $nil). The 
following tables sets out the ageing of trade receivables, according to their due date:

The Group is exposed to liquidity and funding risk from operations and from external borrowings, where the risk is that the Group may not 
be able to refinance debt obligations or meet other cash outflow obligations when required. Vigilant liquidity risk management requires 
the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents). The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining 
adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets 
and liabilities. 

Remaining contractual maturities: The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial 
instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest 
date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as 
remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

For the year ended 31 December 2018, the Group has incurred a total comprehensive loss after income tax of $13,775,945 and net cash 
outflows from operations of $20,749,140. As at 31 December 2018, the Group held total cash and cash equivalents $25,771,055. The 
Group is a development stage biotechnology company and as such expects to be utilising cash reserves until its research activities are 
commercialised. To date, the Group has funded its research activities via raising $8,039,042 capital from initial shareholders, a further 
$47,521,870 (net of transaction costs) from the Initial Public Offering in November 2017, as well as utilising a R&D tax incentive rebate of 
$1,639,850 for activities undertaken in FY17. The Directors are satisfied that there is sufficient working capital to support the committed 
research activities over the coming 12 months and the Group has the ability to realise its assets and pay its liabilities and commitments 
in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the Directors have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.

20.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

a. 

Significant judgement: contingent consideration liability

The Group is liable for future variable payments which are calculated based on the percentage of net sales for a five year period following 
the achievement of regulatory approval. The percentage of net sales varies depending on the net sales achieved in Europe or the United 
States. The Group holds an option to buy-out the remaining payout period in year three following the achievement of regulatory approval 
if specified sales thresholds are met. The Group has calculated a preliminary fair value assessment of contingent consideration liability 
for the purposes of the business combination. A preliminary fair value of $10,591,885 has been recognised as at acquisition date with no 
movement in the fair value from acquisition date to year end. The valuation involves significant judgement and estimation and the below 
describe the techniques used and key assumptions applied. The Group anticipates it will finalise the fair value of contingent consideration 
within the 12 month measurement period. For further details regarding the fair value measurements and key assumptions used in 
determining the contingent consideration liability, see note 3.24 – Critical accounting estimates, judgements and errors.

b 

Revenue and profit contribution

The acquired business contributed no revenues or profit to the Group for the period from 24 December 2018 to 31 December 2018. If 
the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2018, consolidated pro-forma revenue and loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 for the 
Group would have increased by $2,607,846 and $9,097,737 respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary’s 
results adjusted for differences in accounting policies between the Company and the subsidiary, adding the additional amortisation that 
would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had applied from 1 January 2018, combined with the 
consequential tax effects.

which may comprise Rights, Options, and/or Restricted Shares, Vesting of Incentive Securities under the EIP is subject to any vesting or 
performance conditions determined by the Board and specified in the Offer document. Options are normally granted under the EIP for no 
consideration and carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercised, each Option is convertible into one Share.

Non-Executive Directors are able to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan, under which equity may be issued subject to Shareholder 
approval. Options are however normally issued to Non-Executive Directors not as an ‘incentive’ under the EIP but as a means of 
cost-effective consideration for agreeing to join the Board. The details of Options on issue to individual Directors can be found in the 
Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2018. For the purposes of this table and to illustrate the total number of Options 
on issue under the rules of the EIP, all Options issued to Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors, employees and contractors 
are included.

our opinion. 

Independence 
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of 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

material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 

The Group is focused on the development and commercialisation of molecularly-targeted radiation 
(MTR) therapy within the oncology industry. During the period ended 31 December 2018, the Group 
acquired Advanced Nuclear Medicine Ingredients SA based in Belgium, and Atlab SAS which 
predominately holds intellectual property. The Group’s finance and management teams are based in 
Melbourne. 

Materiality 

Audit scope 

Key audit matters 

  Amongst other relevant topics, 
we communicated the following 
key audit matters to the Audit 
and Risk Committee: 

  Acquisition accounting 
  Valuation of contingent 

consideration 

  Research and Development 

tax incentive  

 

These are further described in 
the Key audit matters section of 
our report. 

 

For the purpose of our audit 
we used overall Group 
materiality of $750,000, which 
represents approximately 5% 
of the Group’s loss before tax. 

  We applied this threshold, 

together with qualitative 
considerations, to determine 
the scope of our audit and the 
nature, timing and extent of 
our audit procedures and to 
evaluate the effect of 
misstatements on the financial 
report as a whole. 

  We chose Group loss before tax 
because, in our view, it is the 
benchmark against which the 
performance of the Group is 
most commonly measured. 

  We utilised a 5% threshold 
based on our professional 
judgement, noting it is within 
the range of commonly 

  Our audit focused on where 
the Group made subjective 
judgements; for example, 
significant accounting 
estimates involving 
assumptions and inherently 
uncertain future events. 

 

 

 We conducted an audit of the 
financial information of the 
parent company, Telix 
Pharmaceuticals Limited given 
its financial significance to the 
Group. The parent company 
holds the largest share of the 
Group’s total assets. 

 We performed specified risk

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 for the current period. The key audit 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. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context.  

Key audit matter 

Acquisition accounting 
(Refer to note 20.1) 

The Group acquired Advanced Nuclear Medicine 
Ingredients SA (ANMI) on the 24th December 2018. 
The Group was required to identify and estimate the 
fair value of the assets and liabilities of the business, 
and determine any goodwill arising upon acquisition. 
As referenced in note 3.24 of the financial statements, 
the Group has performed a preliminary assessment to 
determine the fair value of assets and liabilities 
acquired.  

There are complexities and a high degree of judgement 
involved in determining the fair value of assets and 
liabilities acquired, particularly relating to the 
recognition of intangible assets including intellectual 
property. The Group used a discounted cash flow model 
(the model) to determine the fair value of intellectual 
property acquired. The key assumptions used in the 
model included the market population and penetration 
over the forecast period, product pricing, timing and 
probability of regulatory approval and the risk adjusted 
discount rate applied to forecast cash flows. The basis 
of these cashflows was also used to determine the fair 
value of contingent consideration payable, as described 
in the below key audit matter. 

This is a key audit matter because of the: 
- financial significance of the acquisition purchase price 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

Our audit procedures to assess the accounting 
treatment of the ANMI acquisition included: 
- reading the key executed transaction documents to 
develop an understanding of the key terms and 
conditions of the transaction 
- comparing the assets and liabilities recognised on 
acquisition against the executed agreements and the 
historical financial information of the acquired 
business  
- assessing the Group’s estimation of the fair value of 
assets and liabilities identified in the acquisitions. In 
particular, our audit procedures over the preliminary 
valuation of the intangible assets, included: 
- evaluating the Group’s valuation methodology 
against the requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards  by considering the types of cash flows 
included, their application within the model, and 
reperforming calculations over the mathematical 
accuracy of the model 
- comparing the key inputs and assumptions 
underpinning the model to available source data 
where available 
- considering the adequacy of associated disclosures 
in the financial statements in light of the 
requirements of the Australian Accounting 
Standards.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

(fair value of consideration of $17,210,602), goodwill 
($2,807,571) and intangible assets ($21,546,705) 
recognised 
- complexities and judgement required by the Group to 
determine the fair value of assets and liabilities 
acquired. 

Valuation of contingent consideration 
(Refer to note 20.1) $10,591,885 

The contingent consideration liability arises from the 
acquisition of Advanced Nuclear Medicine Ingredients 
SA (ANMI) on the 24th December 2018. The Group is 
liable for future variable payments which are calculated 
based on the percentage of net sales for a specified 
period of time following regulatory approval, as 
discussed in note 3.24 of the financial statements. The 
Group has performed a preliminary assessment to 
determine the fair value of consideration payable and 
have recognised a contingent consideration liability of 
$10,591,885 as at acquisition date and year end. 

A significant number of judgements are made within a 
discounted cash flow model (the model) to determine 
the appropriate value of the contingent consideration 
liability as at acquisition date and year end. The Group 
uses the relevant cash flows (net sales) from the model 
used to determine the value of intangible intellectual 
property as described in the above key audit matter. 
Key assumptions within this model include the market 
population and penetration, product pricing, timing 
and probability of regulatory approval and the risk 
adjusted discount rate applied to forecasted cash flows. 

This was determined to be a key audit matter due to the 
size of the liability and the significant judgement 
required by the Group in determining the key 
assumptions. 

Our audit procedures, amongst others, to assess the 
Group's preliminary fair value of contingent 
consideration included: 
- reading key executed transaction documents to 
develop an understanding of the key terms and 
conditions of the acquisition transaction 
- assessing if the calculation of the contingent 
consideration was in accordance with the contractual 
arrangements 
- agreeing the key assumptions used in the Group’s 
contingent consideration liability calculation to 
those that were used in the valuation of intellectual 
property acquired, as described in the key audit 
matter above 
- reperforming calculations over the mathematical

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit 
matter 

The Group’s qualifying research and development 
(R&D) activities are eligible for a refundable tax offset 
under an Australian Government tax incentive scheme. 
The Group has assessed these activities and related 
expenditure to determine its eligibility under the 
incentive scheme for a refundable tax offset. The R&D 
tax incentive income recognised in the income 
statement was $10,141,969 and the R&D tax incentive 
receivable as at 31 December 2018 was $8,905,586. 

The Group makes a number of judgements and 
estimates in determining the eligibility of claimable 
expenses, including the eligibility of employee costs. 
The Group engaged a third party expert to assist with 
the review of the eligibility of expenses underlying the 
Group’s claim and with the lodgement of the R&D 
refund application.  

This is a key audit matter due to: 
- the financial significance of the amount recognised as 
income during the year and the amount receivable as at 
31 December 2018 
- the degree of judgement and interpretation of the 
R&D tax legislation required by the Group to assess the 
eligibility of the incurred R&D expenditures under the 
scheme.  

the income statement included: 
- assessing the nature of the expenses and the 
Group’s assumptions on the eligibility of employee 
costs against the eligibility criteria of the R&D tax 
incentive programme 
- comparing the prior year receivable recorded in the 
financial statements at 31 December 2017 to the 
amount of cash received from the ATO after 
lodgement of the 2017 R&D tax incentive claim to 
assess historical accuracy of the estimate 
- agreeing a sample of the eligible expenditure in the 
Group’s calculation of the R&D tax incentive 
receivable to the general ledger or other underlying 
accounting records 
- obtaining copies of correspondence with the 
Group’s third party expert and agreeing the advice to 
the R&D tax incentive calculation 
- assessing the classification of the R&D tax incentive 
in the financial statements in light of the 
requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. 

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018, but does not include 
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 

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

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
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.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report 

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or have 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 the 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 at: 
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor's report.
