NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in Australian dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1: Basis of Preparation

 

This condensed consolidated interim report for the half-year reporting period ending 31 December 2019 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), as applicable to interim financial reporting.

 

This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report on the Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2019 and any public announcements made by Alterity Therapeutics Limited (“the “Group”) during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period except as discussed below.

 

Reclassification of comparatives

 

The Group has reclassified certain expenditure items in prior year comparatives in order to be consistent with the current year classification and presentation.

 

(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

 

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ‘AASB’ that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The Group has changed its accounting policies and applied the modified retrospective method where required as a result of adopting the new standards.

 

The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed below and in note 14.

 

(b) Going concern

 

The Group is a development stage medical biotechnology company and as such expects to be utilising cash until the results of its research activities have become marketable. For the six months ended 31 December 2019, the Group incurred an operating loss of A$5,640,258 and an operating cash outflow of A$2,585,626 compared with an operating loss of A$5,340,227 and an operating cash outflow of A$7,221,765 for the six months ended 31 December 2018. As at 31 December 2019 the net assets of the Group stood at A$11,197,670 compared with A$16,554,773 at June 30, 2019 and our cash position decreased to A$12,178,695 from A$14,399,904 at 30 June 2019.

 

The Directors intend to raise new equity funding within the next six months to meet our forecasted cash requirements to enable progression of the Group’s planned research and development programs.

 

The continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debt and commitments as they fall due are dependent on this funding, together with maintaining implemented cost containment and deferment strategies.

 

Management and the Directors believe the Group will be successful in raising new equity funding and accordingly have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis, notwithstanding there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and that it may be unable to realise its assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

 5 

 

 

Note 1: Basis of Preparation (continued)

 

References to matters that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern also raise substantial doubt as contemplated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).

 

Note 2: Significant changes in the current reporting period

 

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the period.

 

Note 3: Segment information

 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. For the current and previous reporting periods, the Group operated in one segment, being research and development in the field of Parkinsonian movement disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.

The Group has not declared any dividends in the period ended 31 December 2019 (2018 : nil)

Where dilutive, potential ordinary shares are included in the calculation of diluted loss per share. All the options on issue do not have the effect to dilute the loss per share. Therefore, they have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

Note 8: Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

 

R&D tax incentive receivable represents the amount of R&D tax incentive the Group expects to recover. For further details, see note 15(a).

 

(i) Classification as trade and other receivables

 

Trade receivables and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. If collection of the amounts is expected in one year or less they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within one year and therefore are all classified as current.

 

(b) Recognised fair value measurements

 

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

 

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);

 

inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and

 

inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

 

During the period, none of the Group’s assets and liabilities had their fair value determined using the fair value hierarchy. No transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy occurred during the current or previous periods.

Note 14: Changes in accounting policies

 

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 July 2019 in note 14(c) below.

 

 10 

 

 

Note 14: Changes in accounting policies (continued)

 

(a) Impact on the financial statements

 

The Group has adopted AASB 16 retrospectively from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.

 

(b) AASB 16 Leases – Impact of adoption

 

On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 5.20%.

 

The associated right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2019. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application.

 

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

 

the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics

 

reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous

 

the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases, and

 

the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

 

The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Note 14: Changes in accounting policies (continued)

 

(c) Accounting policies applied from 1 July 2019

 

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

 

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

 

variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate

 

amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees

 

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

 

payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

 

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

 

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

 

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

 

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

 

any initial direct costs, and

 

restoration costs.

 

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

 

Note 15: Significant estimates and assumptions

 

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

 

The Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Group”) makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below.

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. The Group has adopted new accounting standards AASB 16 as disclosed in note 14 and has appropriately changed accounting policies where needed.

 

(a) R&D Tax Incentives

 

A refundable research and development tax incentive offset of 43.5%, equivalent to a deduction of 150%, will be available to eligible small companies with an annual aggregate turnover of less than $20 million. Eligible companies can receive a refundable research and development tax incentive offset of 43.5% of their research and development spending.

 

The Group’s research and development activities are eligible under an Australian Government tax incentive for eligible expenditure from 1 July 2011. Management has assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. For the period to 31 December 2019 the Group has recorded an item in other income of A$1,855,172 compared with A$2,426,518 for the comparable 2018 period to recognise this amount which relates to this period.
