Research and development (R&D): income and expenses directly attributable to the group’s R&D projects performed in Australia, Israel and United States.

 

Hyperimmune products: income and expenses directly attributable to Travelan and Protectyn activities which occur predominantly in Australia, the United States and Canada.

(b)Accounting policies

 

(i)Sale of hyperimmune products

 

Revenue arises mainly from the sale of products in the hyperimmune category. To determine whether to recognise revenue, the group follows the process of identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognising revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Revenue from the sale of hyperimmune products is recognised when or as the group transfers control of the assets to the customer.

 

There is no variable consideration or significant cost to obtain the contract. There is no warranties and no refunds. Returns are provided where this is outlined in a customer agreement.

(i)Fair value of R&D tax incentive

 

The group’s research and development (R&D) activities are eligible under an Australian government tax incentive for eligible expenditure. Management has assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. Amounts are recognised when it has been established that the conditions of the tax incentive have been met and that the expected amount can be reliably measured. For the year ended 30 June 2021, the group has included an item in other income of $306,154 (2020: $308,225) to recognise income over the period necessary to match the R&D tax incentive on a systematic basis with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Furthermore, the group subsequently received additional $50,055 in current financial year as part of the R&D claim for financial year ended 30 June 2020.

(i)Classification as trade receivables

 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current.

 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details about the group’s impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in note 10(b).

 

(ii)Accrued receivables

 

These amounts primarily comprise receivables from the Australian Taxation Office in relation to the R&D tax incentive.

 

(iii)Fair value of trade and other receivables

 

Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

 

(iv)Impairment and risk exposure

 

Information about the impairment of trade receivables and the group’s exposure to credit risk and foreign currency risk can be found in note 10.

Trade payables are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

 

The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

(i)Depreciation methods and useful lives

 

Property, plant and equipment is recognised at historical cost less depreciation.

 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:

 

Plant and equipment 2 - 5 years
     
Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 - 15 years
     
Right-of-use assets 3 years

 

See note 20(o) for the other accounting policies relevant to property, plant and equipment.

(i)Impairment

 

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and in particular the shelf life of inventories that affect obsolescence. Expected shelf-life is reassessed on a regular basis with reference to stability tests which are conducted by an expert engaged by the group. A comprehensive stability study was completed in September 2019 and the reported findings support a shelf life of at least 130 months for the colostrum drug substance.

 

There was a $328,833 (2020: Nil) finished goods impairment and a $430,932 (2020: Nil) raw materials impairment of inventories recognised during year ended 30 June 2021 for inventory obsolescence in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

 

(ii)Inventory split

 

During the year ended 30 June 2021, management performed an assessment on its raw materials and its utilisation within 12 months from reporting date. Management determined that no raw materials relating to Colostrum will be consumed within 12 months from reporting date; the remaining balance of $1,266,587 (2020: $1,722,349) will be consumed after 12 months from reporting dates.

(i)Leave obligations

 

The leave obligations cover the group’s liabilities for long service leave and annual leave which are classified as either other long-term benefits or short-term benefits, as explained in note 20(r).

 

The current portion of this liability includes all of the accrued annual leave, the unconditional entitlements to long service leave where employees have completed the required period of service and also for those employees that are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision of $129,837 (2020:

 

$89,838) is presented as current, since the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

Expense relating to variable lease payments not included in lease liabilities (included in other expenses)   -    - 
Cash paid for principal payments   40,607    41,390 

 

The total finance cash outflow for leases in 2021 was $1,152.

 

(iii)The group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for

 

In January 2019 the group entered into a three-year commercial lease in Blackburn North. The lease is for the use of warehousing and office facilities. This lease includes an extension option for a further 3 years by written request to the landlord before 31 December 2021. There is no variability and no covenants included in the lease.

 

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.

6Non-financial assets and liabilities (continued)

 

(d)Leases (continued)

 

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 can be determined, or the group’s incremental borrowing rate.

 

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.

 

Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture.

(iii)Revaluation of options issued in prior period

 

Options granted to Dr Gary Jacob on 11 February 2019 and valued at $975,000 in the 30 June 2020 financials were subject to shareholder approval. In line with IFRS 2, these were re-valued at the issue date of 6 November 2019 after being approved by shareholders with a value of $368,000, being a revaluation of $607,000.

 

(iv)Share-based payment expenses

 

Due to the ongoing crisis of COVID-19, the groups directors decided to forgo cash payments of their director fees from 1 April 2020 to 31 December 2020 and instead receive shares of that value. In prior year, no shares were issued to directors, however the expense of the shares owed to them was $73,088. As at 30 June 2021, shares have been issued to directors given the shareholders’ approval at the AGM held on 29 October 2020.

9Critical estimates, judgements and errors

 

(a)Significant estimates and judgements

 

The areas involving significant estimates or judgements are:

 

Estimation of R&D tax incentive income accrual - note 3(a)(i)

 

Estimation of inventory impairment - note 6(b)(i) and 20(j)

 

Estimation of inventory split - note 6(b)(ii)

 

Estimation of employee benefit obligations - notes 6(c)(i), 20(r)(i) and 20(r)(ii)

 

Estimation of share-based payments - notes 16 and 20(r)(iii)

 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They 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.

 

(i)Going concern

 

The group is in a position to meet future commitments in the current business cycle and pay its debts as and when they fall due. Furthermore, the group is able to progress its research and development programs for at least the next 12 months.The annual report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Accordingly, the annual report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the group not continue as a going concern.

(a)Significant estimates and judgements (continued)

 

(ii)COVID-19

 

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the group operates.Sales of Travelan have significantly dropped from March 2020 and as at reporting date it is unknown the prolonged effect that COVID-19 will continue to have on sales.

 

10Financial risk management

 

This note explains the group’s exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the group’s future financial performance.

 

The group’s risk management is predominantly controlled by the board. The board monitors the group’s financial risk management policies and exposures and approves substantial financial transactions. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

 

(a)Market risk

 

(i)Foreign exchange risk

 

The group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

 

Foreign exchange rate risk arises from financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the group’s functional currency. Exposure to foreign currency risk may result in the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to the movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the group holds financial instruments which are other than the Australian dollar (AUD) functional currency of the group including United States dollar (USD), Canadian dollar (CAD) and Israeli Shekel (ILS). This risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The cost of hedging at this time outweighs any benefits that may be obtained.

 

Exposure

 

The group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

 

   2021           2020     
   USD   CAD   USD   CAD   ILS 
   $   $   $   $   $ 
Cash and cash equivalents   2,742,688    108,688    2,954,589    107,605    - 
Trade receivables   23,801    -    45,591    -    - 
Trade payables   18,556    43,466    29,946    1,923    41,771 
Total exposure   2,785,045    152,154    3,030,126    109,528    41,771 

 

Sensitivity

 

As shown in the table above, the group is primarily exposed to changes in USD/AUD exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from USD denominated financial instruments. The impact on other components of equity arises from the translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements into AUD.

 

The group has conducted a sensitivity analysis of its exposure to foreign currency risk. The group is currently materially exposed to the United States dollar (USD). The sensitivity analysis is conducted on a currency-by-currency basis using the sensitivity analysis variable, which is based on the average annual movement in exchange rates over the past five years at year-end spot rates. The variable for each currency the group is materially exposed to is listed below:

 

USD: 4.9% (2020: 3.3%)

USD/AUD exchange rate - change by 4.9% (2020: 3.3%)   136,467    99,994    5,219    4,035 

 

*Holding all other variables constant

 

Profit is more sensitive to movements in the AUD/USD exchange rates in 2021 than 2020 because of the increased amount of USD denominated cash and cash equivalents and the increased variability of the AUD/USD exchange rate. Equity is less sensitive to movements in the AUD/USD exchange rates in 2021 than 2020 because of the decreased size of the foreign currency translation reserve for the subsidiary with USD functional currency. The group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

 

(b)Credit risk

 

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the group.

 

(i)Risk management

 

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such as the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Credit terms are normally 30 days from the invoice date.

 

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating.

 

(ii)Security

 

For some trade receivables the group may obtain security in the form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters of credit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.

 

(iii)Impairment of financial assets

 

The group has one type of financial asset subject to the expected credit loss model:

 

trade receivables for sales of inventory

 

While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

 

Trade receivables

 

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 assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 60 months before 30 June 2021 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. 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.

10 Financial risk management (continued)

 

(b)Credit risk (continued)

 

On that basis, the loss allowance as at 30 June 2021 was determined as follows for trade receivables:

 

   Days past due 
30 June 2021   Current   1-30   31-60   61-90   91-120   121+   Total 
   $   $   $   $   $   $   $ 
Expected credit loss rate   0.00%   0.00%   13.07%   21.88%   34.09%   53.58%     
Gross carrying amount   23,801    4,752    -    -    -    -    28,553 
Loss allowance   -    -    -    -    -    -    - 

 

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 121 days past due.

 

Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

 

preparing forward looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;

 

obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

 

maintaining a reputable credit profile;

 

managing credit risk related to financial assets;

 

investing cash and cash equivalents and deposits at call with major financial institutions; and

 

comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

 

(i)Maturities of financial liabilities

 

The tables below analyse the group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

11Capital management

 

(a)Risk management

 

The group’s objectives when managing capital are to

 

safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and

 

maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may issue new shares or reduce its capital, subject to the provisions of the group’s constitution. The capital structure of the group consists of equity attributed to equity holders of the group, comprising contributed equity, reserves and accumulated losses. By monitoring undiscounted cash flow forecasts and actual cash flows provided to the board by the group’s management, the board monitors the need to raise additional equity from the equity markets.

 

(b)Dividends

 

No dividends were declared or paid to members for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: nil). The group’s franking account balance was nil at 30 June 2021 (2020: nil).

(a)Employee Option Plan

 

The establishment of the ‘executive employee option plan’ (ESOP) was approved by shareholders at the 2020 annual general meeting. The plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for executives (including directors) to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

 

Options issued to Dr Gary Jacob are forfeited upon his resignation without good reason or termination. All other options issued expire upon departure from the company if they are determined to be a ‘bad leaver’.

1.Options granted to a former managing director on 11 February 2019 and valued at $975,000 in the 30 June 2019 financials were subject to shareholder approval. In line with AASB 2, these were measured at the issue date of 6 November 2019 after being approved by shareholders with a value of $368,000.

 

2.Due to the ongoing crisis of COVID-19, the groups directors decided to forgo cash payments of their director fees and instead receive shares of that value. As at 30 June 2021, shares have been issued to directors for the director fees of $145,913 incurred during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 and $73,088 incurred during the financial year ended 30 June 2020, given the shareholders' approval at the AGM held on 29 October 2020.

20Summary of significant accounting policies

 

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the group consisting of Immuron Limited and its subsidiaries.

 

(a)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. Immuron Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

 

(i)Compliance with IFRS

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Immuron Limited group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

(ii)Historical cost convention

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

 

(b)Principles of consolidation

 

(i)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 the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group.

 

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.

 

(c)Segment reporting

 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. This has been identified as the executive management team consisting of the CEO and COO.

 

(d)Foreign currency translation

 

(i)Functional and presentation currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollar ($), which is Immuron Limited's functional and presentation currency.

 

(ii)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.

 

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).

20Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(d)Foreign currency translation (continued)

 

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 at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.

 

(iii)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:

 

assets and liabilities for each consolidated balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated balance sheet

 

income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless 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

 

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.

 

(e)Revenue recognition

 

The accounting policies for the group’s revenue from contracts with customers are explained in note 2.

 

(f)Government grants

 

Grants from the government 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. Note 3(a) provides further information on how the group accounts for government grants.

 

(g)Income tax

 

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

 

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

 

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. 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.

(continued)

 

20Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(g)Income tax (continued)

 

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

 

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

 

(h)AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

 

Interpretation 23 requires the assessment of whether the effect of uncertainty over income tax treatments should be included in the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates. The Interpretation outlines the requirements to determine whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately, the assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities, how an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates and how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.

 

The group has adopted Interpretation 23 from 1 July 2019, based on an assessment of whether it is ‘probable’ that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. This assessment takes into account that for certain jurisdictions in which the group operates, a local tax authority may seek to open a group’s books as far back as inception of the group. Where it is probable, the group has determined tax balances consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. Where the group has determined that it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the most likely amount or the expected value has been used in determining taxable balances (depending on which method is expected to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty). There has been no impact from the adoption of Interpretation 23 in this reporting period.

 

(i)Leases

 

The accounting policies for the group's leases are explained in note 6(d)(iii).

 

(j)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 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.

 

(k)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 balance sheet.

 

(l)Trade receivables

 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See note 5(b) for further information about the group’s accounting for trade receivables and note 10(b) for a description of the group's impairment policy.

20Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(m)Inventories

 

(i)Raw materials and 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. 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.

 

(n)Investments and other financial assets

 

(i)Classification

 

The group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

 

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through 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.

 

(ii)Recognition and 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.

 

(iii)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.

 

(iv)Impairment

 

The group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

 

For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables, see note 10(b) for further details.

 

(v)Income recognition Interest income

 

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

 

(o)Property, plant and equipment

 

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.

20Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(o)Property, plant and equipment (continued)

 

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 or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:

 

Plant and equipment 2 - 5 years
Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 - 15 years
Right-of-use assets 3 years or lesser of useful life and lease term.

 

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 (note 20(j)).

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

 

(p)Intangible assets

 

(i)Research and development

 

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of obtaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an expense when it is incurred.

 

Expenditure on development activities, being the application of research findings or other knowledge to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or services before the start of commercial production or use, is capitalised if it is probable that the product or service is technically and commercially feasible, will generate probable economic benefits, adequate resources are available to complete development and cost can be measured reliably. Other development expenditure is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an expense as incurred.

 

(q)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.

 

(r)Employee benefits

 

(i)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.

(r)Employee benefits (continued)

 

(ii)Other long-term employee benefit obligations

 

In some countries, the group also has liabilities for long service leave and annual leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. These obligations 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. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes 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.

 

(iii)Share-based payments

 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the 'executive share and option plan' (ESOP). Information relating to these schemes is set out in note 16.

 

Employee options

 

The fair value of options granted under the ESOP is recognised as a share-based payment expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

 

including any market performance conditions (e.g. the company’s share price)

 

excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the company over a specified time period), and

 

including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save or holdings shares for a specific period of time).

 

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

 

(s)Contributed equity

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

 

(t)Loss per share

 

(i)Basic loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing:

 

the loss attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares

 

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii)Diluted loss per share

 

Diluted loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss 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.

 

(u)Rounding of amounts

 

The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, relating to the 'rounding off' of amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with the instrument to the nearest dollar.

 

(v)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.

 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

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.
