Results of Operations

Revenues decreased from US$7.7 million during the six months ended 31 December 2015 to US$4.1 million during the six months ended 31 December 2016. This decrease was primarily related to timing of achievement of milestones under customer programs.

Net loss decreased from US$51.3 million during the six months ended 31 December 2015 to US$33.3 million during the six months ended 31 December 2016. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to the decrease in operating expenses and change in fair value of financial instruments offset by a decrease in revenue and an increase in interest expense.

Basis of the Preparation of the Half Year Report

The half year report has been prepared in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.2A.3 and the disclosure requirements of ASX Appendix 4D.

The half year report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors does not recommend that a dividend relating to the six months ended 31 December 2016 be paid. As such, there is no applicable record date.
