D. Risk Factors

Our business faces significant risks. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this registration statement, including the following risk factors. Our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks, and in such event, the trading price of our ordinary shares, which underlie our ADSs, would likely decline and you might lose all or part of your investment. This registration statement also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and our results could materially differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of Item 5.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have experienced significant losses, expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

Although we have begun full scale marketing and sales of our RECELL System in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, such sales have been limited to date and we have not yet obtained profitability. We had a total comprehensive loss of A$16,519,155, A$11,511,024 and A$7,778,015 for our fiscal years ended June 30, 2018,

5

2017 and 2016, respectively. We have incurred a cumulative deficit of A$148,592,879 through June 30, 2018. We anticipate that we may continue to incur losses at least until margins from U.S. sales of the RECELL System are adequate to fund operating expenses. We may not be able to successfully achieve or sustain profitability. Successful transition to profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure.

We may be unsuccessful in obtaining additional approvals for our RECELL System for the treatment of pediatric burns, trauma wounds and skin conditions such as vitiligo.

Although our Premarket Approval (PMA) application for the RECELL System was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use the treatment of acute thermal burn wounds in patients 18 years and older in September 2018, it has not been approved for additional indications such as pediatric burns or trauma wounds, or for the treatment of vitiligo. We plan to expand into each of these indications and will need to apply for a supplement to our PMA approval with the FDA in connection with each proposed additional indication. While clinical trials for such uses are presently underway or planned, there can be no assurance that we will ever receive approval by the FDA for the use of our RECELL System for such additional applications. Such a failure of approval would have a material negative effect to our future prospects.

We are dependent on our contract with the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), and if we do not continue to receive funding under this contract, we may need to obtain alternative sources of funding.

We have a contract with BARDA valued currently at US$50.4 million (approximately A$68.1 million) related to funding for the development of the RECELL System and future use of the product to assist disaster preparedness and response in the U.S. for mass casualties involving burn victims. As of December 31, 2018, we had received cumulative payments of US$17.18 million (A$22.6 million) under the BARDA contract. Under the contract BARDA has agreed to fund and provide technical support for the development of the RECELL System including two randomized, controlled pivotal clinical trials, Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs, development of the health economic model demonstrating the cost savings associated with the RECELL System, and two randomized, controlled clinical trials in pediatric burn patients. Also included in the BARDA contract is a provision for the future procurement of the RECELL System by BARDA under a vendor-managed inventory system to bolster disaster preparedness. There can be no assurances that BARDA will not terminate the contract and changes in government agenda and annual budgets may result in changing priorities and funding mandates at BARDA. Any reduction or delay in BARDA funding may force us to seek alternative funding, which may not be available on non-dilutive terms, terms favorable to us or at all, or cease our development programs related to the BARDA contract.

Development and commercialization of any products requires successful completion of the regulatory approval process and may suffer delays or fail.

In the U.S., as well as other jurisdictions, we have been and will be required to apply for and receive regulatory authorization before we can market our products. Although our RECELL System has been approved for use in the treatment of acute thermal burn wounds in patients 18 years and older in the U.S., we will have to apply for a supplement to our PMA approval to market the product for use in the treatment of pediatric burns, trauma injuries and vitiligo. In China and Australia, the RECELL System is approved use for the treatment of burns, acute wounds, scars and vitiligo. In Europe the product has been approved for the treatment of burns, chronic wounds, scars and vitiligo. We will require additional approvals from regulatory authorities within these countries to market the product for the treatment of other indications, and from any other jurisdictions in which we seek to market the product. This process can be time consuming and complicated and may result in unanticipated delays or fail altogether. To secure marketing authorization, an applicant generally is required to submit an application that includes the data supporting preclinical and clinical safety and effectiveness as well as detailed information on the manufacturing and control of the product, proposed labeling and other additional

6

information. Before marketing authorization is granted, regulatory authorities may require the inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities and quality systems (including those of third parties) at which the product candidate is manufactured and tested, as well as potential audits of the non-clinical and clinical trial sites that generated the data cited in the marketing authorization application.

We cannot predict whether any additional marketing authorizations will ultimately be granted or how long the applicable regulatory authority or agency will take to do so. Regulatory agencies, including the FDA, have substantial discretion in the approval process. In addition, the approval process and the requirements governing clinical trials vary from country to country. The policies of the FDA or other regulatory authorities may change, and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay the necessary approval of any products we may develop and commercialize. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the U.S. or elsewhere. If we are slow or unable to adapt to new or changed requirements, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any marketing approval that we may have obtained, and we may not achieve or sustain profitability.

Additionally, any future regulatory approvals that we receive may also contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety and effectiveness of the product. Once a product is approved, the manufacturing processes, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion, import, export and recordkeeping for the product will be subject to extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements. These requirements include submission of safety and other post-marketing reports, registration and continued compliance with good manufacturing practices for any clinical trials that we conduct post-approval.

Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for a product candidate in one jurisdiction does not mean that we will be successful in obtaining regulatory approval for that product candidate in other jurisdictions.

Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for a product in one jurisdiction does not guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain similar approval in other jurisdictions, while a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one jurisdiction may have a negative effect on the regulatory approval process in others. For example, even if the FDA grants marketing approval for use of our RECELL System for the treatment of pediatric burns, trauma injuries and/or vitiligo, comparable regulatory authorities in foreign jurisdictions must also approve the manufacturing, marketing and promotion of the product candidate in those countries if not currently approved today. Approval procedures vary among jurisdictions and can involve requirements and administrative review periods different from, and greater than, those in the U.S., including additional preclinical studies or clinical trials as clinical trials conducted in one jurisdiction may not be accepted by regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions. In many jurisdictions outside the U.S., a medical device must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that jurisdiction. In some cases, the price that we intend to charge for our products is also subject to approval.

We may encounter substantial delays in any further clinical studies necessary to support any regulatory applications for additional commercial applications of our technology.

We cannot guarantee that any preclinical testing or clinical trials will be conducted as planned or completed on schedule, if at all. As a result, we may not achieve the expected clinical milestones necessary for approval by the FDA, or other regulators, for the use of our RECELL System for additional applications in the United States or other countries.

A failure can occur at any stage of testing. Events that may prevent successful or timely commencement, enrollment or completion of clinical development include:

7

Delays, including delays caused by the above factors, can be costly and could negatively affect our ability to complete clinical trials for our product candidates. If we are not able to successfully complete clinical trials or are not able to do so in a timely and cost-effective manner, we will not be able to obtain regulatory approval for the use of our RECELL System for additional applications, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unsuccessful in commercializing our RECELL System, or other future products, due to unfavorable pricing regulations or third-party coverage and reimbursement policies.

We cannot guarantee that we will receive favorable pricing and reimbursement for use of our products. The rules and regulations that govern pricing and reimbursement for medical products vary widely from country to country or from indication to indication, and within the U.S. can also vary widely from one health system or hospital to the next. In some foreign jurisdictions, including the European Union, the government largely controls pricing of medical products. In other countries, coverage negotiations must occur at the regional or hospital level. Pricing negotiations can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a medical product.

As a result, even after obtaining regulatory approval for a product in a particular country, we may be subject to price regulations or limited reimbursement, which may delay or limit our commercial launch of the product and negatively impact the revenue we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our total investment in our RECELL System or other future products, even after obtaining regulatory approval.

If we are unable to promptly obtain coverage and profitable payment rates from hospital budget, government-funded and private purchasers for the RECELL System or any future products, this could have a

8

material adverse effect on our operating results, our ability to raise capital needed to commercialize products and our overall financial condition.

We have limited financial resources and will likely require additional financings to continue the development and commercialization of our RECELL System or any future products, which may cause dilution to our existing shareholders or place restrictions on our operations. If additional financing is not available, we may have to postpone, reduce or cease operations.

If we are unable to achieve profitability sufficient to permit us to fund our operations and other planned actions, we may be required to raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that such capital would be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership held by existing shareholders may be reduced, and the market price of our ordinary shares which underlie our ADSs could fall due to an increased number of shares available for sale in the market. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility with respect to certain business matters. If we are unable to secure additional capital as circumstances require, we may not be able to fund our planned activities or continue our operations.

We have limited experience manufacturing our products in large-scale commercial quantities and we may face manufacturing risks that may adversely affect our ability to manufacture products and could reduce our gross margins and negatively affect our business and operating results.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to manufacture our current and future products in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis to meet demand, while adhering to product quality standards, complying with regulatory quality system requirements and managing manufacturing costs. We have a manufacturing facility located in Ventura, California where we produce, package and warehouse the RECELL System. We also rely on global third-party manufacturers, Baxter International Inc., Hospira (a division of Pfizer), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lyophilization Services of New England and Becton Dickinson and Company, for production of some of the components used in the RECELL System. If our facility, or the facilities of our third-party contract manufacturers, suffers damage, or a force majeure event, this could materially impact our ability to operate.

We are also subject to other risks relating to our manufacturing capabilities, including:

These risks could be exacerbated by our limited experience as an entity with large-scale commercial manufacturing. As demand for our products increases, we will have to invest additional resources to purchase raw materials and components, sub-assemblies and materials, hire and train employees and enhance our manufacturing processes. If we fail to increase our production capacity efficiently to meet demand for our products, we may not be able to fill customer orders on a timely basis, our sales may not increase in line with our expectations and our operating margins could fluctuate or decline. It may not be possible for us to manufacture

9

our products at a cost or in quantities sufficient to make these products commercially viable or to maintain current operating margins, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company is continually identifying additional third-party manufacturers who could serve if necessary as replacement manufacturers should the need arise.

We rely on third parties to conduct, supervise and monitor our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our drug product candidates and our business could be substantially harmed.

We rely on clinical research organizations, or CROs, and clinical trial sites to ensure our clinical trials are conducted properly and on time. While we will have agreements governing their activities, we will have limited influence over their actual performance. CROs manage and monitor the clinical trials, duties and functions, and we will control only certain aspects of our CROs’ activities. Nevertheless, we will be responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal, regulatory and scientific standards, and our reliance on the CROs does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities.

We and our CROs are required to comply with the FDA’s Good Clinical Practices, or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that the data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights, integrity and confidentiality of clinical trial participants are protected. The FDA, and comparable foreign regulatory authorities, enforce these GCPs through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, principal investigators and clinical trial sites. If we or our CROs fail to comply with applicable GCPs, the clinical data generated in our future clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may require us to perform additional clinical trials before approving any marketing applications.

If our CROs do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations, fail to meet expected deadlines, or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or regulatory requirements, or for any other reasons, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for, or successfully commercialize, our product candidates. If any such event were to occur, our financial results and the commercial prospects for our product candidates would be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate revenues could be delayed. If any of our relationships with these third-party CROs terminate, we may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative CROs or to do so on commercially reasonable terms. Further, switching or adding additional CROs involves additional costs and requires management time and focus. In addition, there is a natural transition period when a new CRO commences work. As a result, delays occur, which could materially impact our ability to meet our desired clinical development timelines. Though we carefully manage our relationships with our CROs, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter challenges or delays in the future or that these delays or challenges will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.

Product recalls or inventory losses caused by unforeseen events may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our products are manufactured, stored and distributed using technically complex processes requiring specialized facilities, highly specific raw materials and other production constraints. The complexity of these processes, as well as strict company and government standards for the manufacture, storage and distribution of our product candidates, subjects us to risks. In addition, process deviations or unanticipated effects of approved process changes may result in production runs of our RECELL System not complying with stability requirements or specifications. The occurrence or suspected occurrence of production and distribution difficulties can lead to lost inventories and in some cases product recalls, with consequential reputational damage and the risk of product liability. The investigation and remediation of any identified problems can cause production delays, substantial expense, lost sales and delays of new product launches. In the event our production efforts require a recall or result in an inventory loss, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.

10

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business could be disrupted.

Our future financial performance and ability to successfully commercialize our products, which is not guaranteed, and to compete in the market will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively. We expect to make significant investments to facilitate our future growth through, among other things:

Any failure to manage future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our growth and success depend on our ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified and skilled sales and marketing, research and development, operational, managerial and finance personnel.

Competition for skilled personnel is intense and the unexpected loss of an employee with a particular skill could have a material adverse effect on our operations until a replacement can be found and trained. If we cannot attract and retain skilled scientific and operational personnel for our research and development and manufacturing operations on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop and commercialize our products. Further, any failure to effectively integrate new personnel could prevent us from successfully growing our company.

We currently report our financial results under IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.

Currently we report our financial statements under IFRS. There have been and there may in the future be certain significant differences between IFRS and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), including differences related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, income tax and earnings per share, and in the timing, frequency and format of annual and periodic financial statements. As a result, our financial information and reported earnings for historical or future periods could be significantly different if they were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, we do not intend to provide a reconciliation between IFRS and U.S. GAAP unless it is required under applicable law. As a result, you may not be able to meaningfully compare our financial statements under IFRS with those companies that prepare financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

Risks Relating to our Industry and Intellectual Property

We face competition from the existing standard of care and any future potential changes in medical practice and technology and the possibility that our competitors may develop products, treatments or procedures that are similar, more advanced, safer or more effective than ours.

The medical device, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, specifically relating to the areas where we currently or intend to market our RECELL System, are intensely competitive and subject to significant changes due to technology and medical practice standards. We may face competition from any number of different sources with respect to any products we develop and commercialize.

Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products, treatments or procedures that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more

11

convenient or are less expensive than our RECELL System or any future products we develop. Many of our current or future competitors may have significantly greater financial resources and experience and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we may have. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology industries or wound care markets may result in increased concentration of resources among a smaller number of our competitors. Other early stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These companies compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs.

We could be subject to product liability lawsuits, which could result in costly and time-consuming litigation and significant liabilities.

The development of medical device products, such as our RECELL System, involves an inherent risk of product liability claims and associated financial liability and adverse publicity. Any products we may develop could be found to be harmful or to contain harmful substances and exposes us to substantial liability and risk of litigation or may force us to discontinue production. We may be unable to obtain or maintain insurance on reasonable terms or otherwise protect ourselves against potential product liability claims that could impede or prevent further business development of any products we may create and commercialize. Furthermore, a product liability claim could damage our reputation, whether or not such claims are covered by insurance or have merit. A product liability claim against us or the withdrawal of a product from the market could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. Furthermore, product liability lawsuits, regardless of their success, would likely be time consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management’s time and attention, which could seriously harm our business.

If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to operate our business and third parties may be able to use and profit from our technology, both of which would impair our ability to be competitive

Our success will be heavily dependent on our ability to obtain and maintain meaningful patent protection for our technologies and products throughout the world. Patent law relating to the scope of claims in the technology fields in which we will operate is still evolving. The amount of ongoing protection for our proprietary rights therefor is uncertain. We will rely on patents to protect a significant part of our intellectual property and to enhance our competitive position. However, our presently pending or future patent applications may be denied, and any patent previously issued to us or our subsidiaries may be challenged, invalidated, held unenforceable or circumvented. Furthermore, the patent protections we have been granted may not be broad enough to prevent competitors from producing products similar to ours. In addition, the laws of various foreign countries in which we plan to compete, such as China, may not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. If we fail to obtain adequate patent protection for our proprietary technology, our ability to be commercially competitive will be materially impaired.

In the ordinary course of business and as appropriate, we intend to apply for additional patents covering both our technologies and products, as we deem appropriate. Our existing patents and any future patents we obtain may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from practicing our technologies or developing competing products and technologies. In addition, because patent law is evolving in the life science industry, the patent positions of companies like ours are uncertain. As a result, the validity and enforceability of our patents cannot be predicted with certainty.

We may find it difficult to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on all of our technologies and products in every jurisdiction is expensive. Competitors could reverse engineer our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained

12

patent protection to develop their own products. These products may compete with our products and may not be covered by any patent claims or other intellectual property rights.

The laws of some countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. and many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions. This lack of protection, particularly in relation to biotechnology, could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert the efforts and attention of key personnel from other aspects of our business.

We may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights and we may be unable to protect our rights to, or use of, our technology.

If we choose to go to court to stop someone else from using the inventions claimed in our patents or our licensed patents, that individual or company has the right to ask the court to rule that these patents are invalid and/or should not be enforced against that third party. These lawsuits are expensive and would distract our key personnel, consume time and other resources, even if we were successful in stopping the infringement of these patents. In addition, there is a risk that a court will decide that these patents are invalid or unenforceable and that we do not have the right to stop the other party from using the inventions or, even if the validity or enforceability of these patents is upheld, the court may refuse to stop the other party because the competitors’ activities do not infringe our rights.

If third parties make claims of intellectual property infringement against us, or otherwise seek to establish their intellectual property rights equal or superior to ours, we may have to spend time and money in response and potentially discontinue certain of our operations.

While we currently do not believe it to be the case, third parties may claim that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization or that we are infringing on their patents. If such claims were made, we could incur substantial costs coupled with diversion of our management and key technical personnel in defending against these claims. Furthermore, parties making claims against us may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief which could effectively halt our ability to further develop, commercialize and sell products. In the event of a successful claim of infringement, courts may order us to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We may not be able to obtain these licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licenses could prevent us from commercializing available products and have a material negative effect on our business.

Any suits filed against us by third-parties alleging we infringe their intellectual property rights could harm our business and operating results as well as our reputation.

There is considerable patent and other intellectual property activity in the industry in which we operate. We may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology. Additionally, notwithstanding our receipt of a patent, a third-party may nevertheless challenge the validity of one or more claims included in the patent, which may require significant expenditure of funds, as well as time and effort by key personnel, to defend our claims.

Healthcare legislative reform measures may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In the U.S., there have been and continue to be a number of legislative initiatives to contain healthcare costs. For example, in March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or the Health Care Reform Law, was passed, which substantially changed the way health care is financed by both governmental and private insurers, and significantly impacts the U.S. healthcare industry. The Health Care Reform Law, among other things, (i) subjects biologic products to potential

13

competition by lower-cost biosimilars, (ii) addresses a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled, infused, instilled, implanted, or injected, (iii) increases the minimum Medicaid rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and extends the rebate program to individuals enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations, (iv) establishes annual fees and taxes on manufacturers of certain branded prescription drugs, and (v) promotes a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted in the U.S. since the Health Care Reform Law was enacted. On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, created measures for spending reductions by Congress. A Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, tasked with recommending a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, was unable to reach required goals, thereby triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This includes aggregate reductions of Medicare payments to providers up to 2% per fiscal year. On January 2, 2013, President Obama signed into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, or the ATRA, which, among other things, delayed for another two months the budget cuts mandated by these sequestration provisions of the Budget Control Act of 2011. On March 1, 2013, the President signed an executive order implementing sequestration, and on April 1, 2013, the 2% Medicare payment reductions went into effect. Additional state and federal healthcare reform measures may be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our product candidates or additional pricing pressures.

Our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws, including Australian bribery laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. (FCPA) and other anti-corruption laws that apply in countries where we do business.

Anti-corruption laws generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We participate in collaborations and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under these anti-corruption laws. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

There is no assurance that we will be completely effective in ensuring our compliance with all applicable anti-corruption laws or other laws including trade related laws. If we are not in compliance with these laws, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Likewise, any investigation of any potential violations of these laws by respective government bodies could also have an adverse impact on our reputation, our business, results of operations and financial condition

Risks Relating to Our Ordinary Shares and ADSs

We have never paid a dividend on our ordinary shares and do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future, and consequently, investors’ only opportunity to realize a return on their investment in our company is through the appreciation in the price of our ordinary shares.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future and intend to retain all earnings, if any, for our operations. If we decided to pay dividends at some future time, we may not have sufficient funds legally available to do so. Even if funds are legally available for distribution, we may be unable to pay any dividends to our shareholders because of limitations imposed by a lack of liquidity. Accordingly, our shareholders may have to sell some or all of their ordinary shares in order to generate cash flow from their investment. Our shareholders may not receive a gain on their investment when they sell their ordinary

14

shares and may lose some or all of their investment. Any determination to pay dividends in the future on our ordinary shares will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law, capital requirements, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

As long as we remain subject to the rules of the Australian Stock Exchange and if we list on NASDAQ, we will be unable to access equity capital without shareholder approval if such equity capital sales would result in an equity issuance above regulatory thresholds and consequently we may be unable to obtain financing sufficient to sustain our business if we are unsuccessful in soliciting requisite shareholder approvals.

Our ability to access equity capital is currently limited by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, if shareholder approval for ASX Listing Rule 7.1A additional capacity is obtained annually), which provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions (including approval by shareholders), issue or agree to issue during any consecutive 12-month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% (plus an additional 10%, if ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval is obtained) of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

Our equity issuances will be limited by Rule 7.1 (and 7.1A, if applicable) as long as we continue to be listed on the ASX and this constraint may prevent us from raising the full amount of equity capital needed for operations without prior shareholder approval. There are also restraints on a single shareholder holding more than 20% of the issued share capital. See Risk Relating to Takeovers below.

If we are successful in listing on NASDAQ (which approval is further discussed in Item 9.C under the heading “Markets”), we will be subject to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), commonly referred to as the NASDAQ 20% Rule, which requires shareholder approval of a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance, or potential issuance by a company of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares) equal to 20% or more of the ordinary shares, or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the shares. While less restrictive than ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (unless ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval is obtained, in which case it is more restrictive), the operation of the NASDAQ 20% rule could limit our ability to raise capital through issuance of shares or convertible securities without jeopardizing our listing status. If we were to violate the NASDAQ 20% rule, assuming we obtain initial listing approval, our company would be subject to delisting from NASDAQ and share prices and trading volumes would likely suffer.

There is no assurance that our NASDAQ listing application will be approved and that it will be successful.

Although our ADSs are currently quoted on the OTCQX, we intend to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market in 2019. There is no assurance that our NASDAQ listing application will be approved or that an active public market for our ADSs will further develop or be sustained (which approval is further discussed in Item 9.C under the heading “Markets”).

Further, if an active public market in the U.S. for the ADSs does not further develop, the market price and liquidity of the ADSs may be materially and adversely affected. While we have applied for the listing of the ADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market, a liquid public market in the U.S. for the ADSs may not further develop or be sustained after the transition from the OTCQX market to the NASDAQ Capital Market. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders often instituted securities class action litigation against that company. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert the attention of senior management and, if adversely determined, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

15

The market price and trading volume of our ordinary shares and ADSs may be volatile and may be affected by variability in our company’s performance from period to period and economic conditions beyond management’s control.

The market price of our ordinary shares and ADSs may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. This means that our shareholders could experience a decrease in the value of their ordinary shares regardless of our operating performance or prospects. The market prices of securities of companies operating in the medical device and biotech sectors have often experienced fluctuations that have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of these companies. In addition, the trading volume of our ordinary shares and ADSs may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our ordinary shares declines significantly, our shareholders may be unable to resell our ordinary shares at or above their purchase price, if at all. There can be no assurance that the market price of our ordinary shares will not fluctuate or significantly decline in the future.

Some specific factors that could negatively affect the price of our ordinary shares or result in fluctuations in their price and trading volume include:

16

The requirements of being a public company in the U.S. may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Act, the listing standards of the NASDAQ Capital Market as applicable to a foreign private issuer, which are different in some material respects from those required for a U.S. public company, as well as the reporting requirements under the ASX. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources. As a result of disclosure of information in this filing or future filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors, shareholders or third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business and operating results.

As a foreign private issuer, if and after our shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we will be permitted and intend to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain NASDAQ requirements applicable to U.S. issuers, affording less protection to holders of our ordinary shares.

As a foreign private issuer, if and after our ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we will be permitted to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain NASDAQ requirements. We intend to avail ourselves of all such exemptions available to us, including without limitation, the following:

Such Australian home-country practices may afford less protection to holders of our ordinary shares than would be available to our shareholders if we were incorporated in the U.S., governed by U.S. law and subject to all applicable NASDAQ regulations. At any general meeting of shareholders a resolution put to the vote of the meeting must be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is effectively demanded, and the demand is not withdrawn. On a show of hands, each member present in person and each other person present as a proxy, attorney or representative of a member has one vote. On a poll, each member present in person has one vote for

17

each share held by the member and each person present as proxy, attorney or representative of a member has one vote for each share held by such member that the person represents. Voting based on a show of hands may make it more difficult for shareholders to influence our management. NASDAQ rules require that the quorum required for a meeting of shareholders be not be less than 33 1/3 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s ordinary shares, however, we intend to follow our home-country corporate governance practices with respect to quorum, and as a result, the quorum required for an ordinary meeting of shareholders will consist of at least three shareholders present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative appointed pursuant to our Constitution. As required for foreign private issuers, each NASDAQ requirement with which we do not intend to comply, if and after our ordinary shares are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, is listed below under Item 6.C, together with a description of our applicable home-country practice. Please refer also to Item 9.C under the heading “Markets” for further discussion about the status of our NASDAQ listing application.

We are a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC and are thus exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act and will be permitted to file less information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the U.S.

As a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act and will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, or to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material nonpublic information. In addition, we will be exempt from certain disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. Our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning us than there is for a company domiciled in the U.S., and such information may not be provided as promptly as it is currently provided by companies domiciled in the U.S. If we lose our status as a foreign private issuer, we will no longer be exempt from such rules and, among other things, will be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as if we were a company incorporated in the U.S. The costs incurred in complying with these additional requirements could be substantial.

The dual listing of our ordinary shares and the ADSs may adversely affect the liquidity and value of the ADSs.

After the ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, our ordinary shares will continue to be listed on the ASX. Although the ADSs currently trade on the OTCQX market, we cannot predict the effect of the transition of this dual listing to trading on of the ADSs on NASDAQ Capital Market will have on the value of our ordinary shares and ADSs. However, the dual listing of our ordinary shares and ADSs may dilute the liquidity of these securities in one or both markets and may adversely affect the further development of an active trading market for the ADSs in the U.S. The price of the ADSs could also be adversely affected by trading in our ordinary shares on the ASX.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact amounts you receive as a result of any dividend or distribution we declare on our ordinary shares.

Any significant change in the value of the Australian dollar may impact amounts you receive in U.S. dollars as a result of any dividend or distribution we declare on our ordinary shares as a holder of our ADSs.

More specifically, at present any dividends that we may pay on our ordinary shares will be in Australian dollars. The depositary for the ADSs has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on our ordinary shares or other deposited securities after deducting its fees and expenses, including any such fees or expenses incurred to convert any such Australian dollars into U.S. dollars. You will receive any such distributions in U.S. dollars in proportion to the number of our ordinary shares your ADSs represent. Depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar would have a negative effect on any such distribution payable to you.

18

Holders of our ADSs have fewer rights than shareholders under Australian law, and their voting rights are limited by the terms of the deposit agreement.

The rights of shareholders under Australian law to take actions, such as voting their shares, receiving dividends and distributions, examining our accounting books and records, bringing derivative actions, and exercising appraisal rights, are available only to shareholders of record. Because the depositary, through its custodian agents, is the record holder of the ordinary shares underlying the ADSs, only the depositary can exercise those rights in connection with the deposited shares.

Holders of ADSs may exercise their voting rights only in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. For more information see the description of the deposit agreement in Item 12C. Upon receipt of voting instructions from them in the manner set forth in the deposit agreement, the depositary will make efforts to vote the shares underlying the ADSs in accordance with the instructions of ADS holders. The depositary and its agents may not be able to send voting instructions to holders of ADSs or carry out their voting instructions in a timely manner. Furthermore, the depositary and its agents will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. As a result, holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise their right to vote. If we do not request the depositary to solicit your voting instructions, you can still send voting instructions, and, in that case, the depositary may try to vote as you instruct, but it is not required to do so.

Holders of ADSs may not receive distributions on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical to make them available to such holders.

The depositary of our ADSs has agreed to pay holders of ADSs the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian for our ADSs receives on our ordinary shares or other deposited securities after deducting its fees and expenses. Holders of ADSs will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of our ordinary shares that such ADSs represent. However, the depositary is not responsible for making such payments or distributions if it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to a holder of ADSs if it consists of securities that require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but that are not properly registered or distributed pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. The depositary is not responsible for making a distribution available to any holders of ADSs if any registration or other governmental approval required for such distribution cannot be obtained after reasonable efforts. We have no obligation to take any other action to permit distributions on our ordinary shares to holders of ADSs. This means that holders of ADSs may not receive the distributions we make on our ordinary shares if it is illegal or impractical to make them available to such holders. These restrictions may materially reduce the value of our ADSs.

Holders of ADSs may be subject to transfer limitations.

The ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary deems it advisable to do so because of any government or governmental body or legal requirement, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason.

ADS holders may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the deposit agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any such action.

The deposit agreement governing the ADSs representing our shares provides that holders and beneficial owners of ADSs irrevocably waive the right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the deposit agreement or the ADSs, including in respect of claims under federal securities laws, against us or the

19

depositary to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If this jury trial waiver provision is prohibited by applicable law, an action could nevertheless proceed under the terms of the deposit agreement with a jury trial. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a jury trial waiver under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal court.

However, we believe that a jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable under the laws of the State of New York, which govern the deposit agreement, by a court of the State of New York or a federal court, which have non-exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising under the deposit agreement, applying such law. In determining whether to enforce a jury trial waiver provision, New York courts and federal courts will consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party has knowingly waived any right to trial by jury. We believe that this is the case with respect to the deposit agreement and the ADSs. In addition, New York courts will not enforce a jury trial waiver provision in order to bar a viable setoff or counterclaim sounding in fraud or one which is based upon a creditor’s negligence in failing to liquidate collateral upon a guarantor’s demand, or in the case of an intentional tort claim (as opposed to a contract dispute), none of which we believe are applicable in the case of the deposit agreement or the ADSs. Neither do we believe that any condition, stipulation or provision of the deposit agreement or ADSs serves as a waiver by any holder or beneficial owner of ADSs of compliance with any provision of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder. Neither does the waiver provision serve as a waiver of our or the depositary’s compliance with federal securities laws. If you or any other holder or beneficial owner of ADSs brings a claim against us or the depositary in connection with such matters, you or such other holder or beneficial owner may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to such claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us and/or the depositary. If a lawsuit is brought against us and/or the depositary under the deposit agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in any such action, depending on, among other things, the nature of the claims, the judge or justice hearing such claims, and the venue of the hearing.

We are incorporated under the laws of Australia, and U.S. investors may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

It may be difficult to bring and enforce actions against us because we are incorporated under the laws of Australia. Some or all of our directors will reside in various jurisdictions outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the U.S. upon our non-U.S. directors, or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against us or our non-U.S. directors.

In addition, there is some doubt as to whether the courts of Australia and other countries would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on the civil liabilities provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the U.S. or would hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. Some remedies available under the laws of U.S. jurisdictions, including some remedies available under the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be allowed in Australia courts. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the U.S. based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state securities laws, may not be enforceable in countries other than the U.S.

If research analysts publish unfavorable commentary or downgrade our ordinary shares it could adversely affect our share price and trading volume.

The trading market for our ordinary shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that research analysts publish about us and our business and industry. If one or more research analysts downgrade our shares, publish unfavorable commentary about the Company or cease publishing reports about us or our business, the price of our ordinary shares could decline. If one or more of the research analysts ceases coverage of our

20

company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our ordinary shares could decrease, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could subject U.S. investors in our ordinary shares to significant adverse U.S. income tax consequences.

Depending upon the value of our ordinary shares, which underlie the value of our ADSs, and the nature of our assets and income over time, we could be classified as a “passive foreign investment company”, or “PFIC”, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based upon our current income and assets and projections as to the value of our ordinary shares, we do not presently expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. While we do not expect to become a PFIC, if among other matters, our market capitalization is less than anticipated or subsequently declines, we may be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years. The determination of whether we are or will be a PFIC will also depend, in part, on the composition of our income and assets, which will be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets. Because PFIC status is a factual determination made annually after the close of each taxable year, including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and the character of each item of income we earn, we can provide no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year.

If we were to be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a U.S. holder (as defined in Item 10E under the heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the deferral of U.S. federal income tax that a U.S. holder could derive from investing in a non-U.S. corporation that doses not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. Further, if we are classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. holder holds our ordinary shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. holder holds our ordinary shares. For more information see Item 10E.2 under the heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations –  Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”.

Risks Relating to Takeovers

Australian takeovers laws may discourage takeover offers being made for us or may discourage the acquisition of large numbers of our ordinary shares, which could constrain our share price and reduce investor returns.

We are incorporated in Australia and are subject to the takeover laws of Australia, including the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (“Corporations Act”). Subject to a range of exceptions, the Corporations Act prohibits the acquisition of a direct or indirect interest in a company’s issued voting shares if the acquisition of that interest will lead to a person’s voting power in such company increasing from 20% or below to more than 20%, or increasing from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90% without prior shareholder approval or the acquisition otherwise being exempt under the Corporations Act. Australian takeovers laws may discourage takeover offers being made for us or may discourage the acquisition of large numbers of our ordinary shares. This may have the ancillary effect of depriving or limiting our shareholders’ strategic opportunities to sell their ordinary shares and may restrict the ability of our shareholders to obtain a premium from such transactions. See Item 10D under the heading, “The Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975.”

Our constitution and applicable Australian laws and regulations may adversely affect our ability to take actions that could be beneficial to our shareholders.

As an Australian company we are subject to different corporate requirements than a corporation organized under the laws of the U.S. Our Constitution, as well as the Corporations Act, set forth various rights and obligations that are unique to Australian companies. These requirements operate differently than from many U.S. companies and may limit or otherwise adversely affect our ability to take actions that could be beneficial to our shareholders. Prior to investing in our ordinary shares investors should carefully review the summary of these matters set forth under Item 10B, under the heading “Memorandum and Articles of Association”, as well as the copy of our complete Constitution, which is included as an exhibit to this registration statement.

B. Business Overview

We are a regenerative medicine company with a technology platform positioned to address unmet medical needs in burn injuries, trauma injuries, chronic wounds, and dermatological and aesthetics indications. Our patented and proprietary platform technology provides innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative properties of a patient’s own skin. The medical devices work by preparing Spray-On Skin™ Cells, an autologous cellular suspension comprised of the patient’s skin cells necessary to regenerate natural healthy epidermis. This autologous suspension is sprayed onto the areas of the patient requiring treatment.

Our first U.S. product, the RECELL® System, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2018 for the treatment of acute thermal burn injuries in patients 18 years and older. The RECELL System is used to prepare Spray-On Skin Cells using a small amount of a patient’s own skin, providing a new way to treat severe burns that significantly reduces the amount of donor skin required. The RECELL System is designed to be used at the point of care alone or in combination with split-thickness skin autografts depending on the depth of the burn injury. Compelling data from prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trials conducted at major U.S. burn centers and real-world use globally, demonstrate that the RECELL System is a significant advancement over the current standard of care for burn patients and offers benefits in clinical outcomes and cost savings.

The RECELL System is Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)-registered in Australia and China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA)-cleared in China for use in the treatment of burns, acute wounds, scars and vitiligo. In Europe, the RECELL System received CE-mark approval for the treatment of burns, chronic wounds, scars and vitiligo.

Markets and Limitations of Standard of Care

Acute Thermal Burns

Acute thermal burns are life-threatening and debilitating injuries that are among the most expensive traumatic injuries to manage because of complex surgical procedures, long and costly hospitalization, rehabilitation and scar treatment. In the U.S., the largest market for the treatment of burns, approximately 486,000 people seek treatment for burns each year. Of these, at least 40,000 have burn injuries severe enough to require in-patient treatment, and it is estimated that 3,300 die each year. The majority of patients treated on an in-patient basis in the U.S. are treated in specialized burn centers. Countries outside the U.S. are smaller markets for the treatment of burns. For example, in Japan, the second largest healthcare market in the world, approximately 6,000 patients with severe burns treated in hospitals each year.

The severity of the burn is generally assessed based on the extent of the area burned, and the depth of the burns. The extent of the patient’s burn injury is typically described in terms of percent of total body surface area, or “TBSA.” For example, a burn covering an average sized adult arm would be roughly a 9% TBSA, while a

22

burn covering an entire leg would be roughly an 18% TBSA. The depth of the burn, referred to in terms of “degree” is generally classified into four categories:

Burn treatment is dictated by the depth and extent of the injury, and deeper and more extensive injuries are most commonly treated with autologous split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) to achieve definitive closure of the burn wound. In a STSG, or autograft, the donor skin is harvested from a healthy part of the patient using a device called a dermatone as detailed in the pictures below. The donor skin is then transferred to the burn injury that has been prepared (debrided or cleaned).

Harvesting of Donor Skin for Use in Autografting

Treatment with STSG creates additional trauma for the patient due to the harvesting of healthy donor skin. Although the use of STSG has been a standard treatment for more than 50 years, grafting is associated with significant pain, pruritus, infection, dyschromia, dyspigmentation, delayed healing, and hypertrophic scarring of the donor site.

The clinical benefits of earlier intervention for burn wounds are well recognized and include increased survival, reduced hospital length of stay, decreased pain duration, and reduced infection-related complications. However, in large TBSA injuries, the patient may not have enough donor skin available to allow for immediate treatment of the entire area of burn injuries with traditional grafting techniques. The lack of available healthy donor skin in patients with high TBSA burn injuries is often the central problem impacting time to autografting and definitive closure of the wounds. In severely burned patients, doctors often must wait until the donor sites have healed so that they can reharvest from the site, resulting in delays in treatment and healing, requiring multiple procedures and extended hospital time. While waiting for donor skin the burn wounds may be temporarily covered by allogenic skin graft, for example allograft (cadaver skin) or xenograft (typically pig skin). The overall cost of treatment with STSG is expensive, for example approximately US$579,000 and 59.4 days in hospital for a patient with a 40% TBSA mixed or full-thickness burn.

Because of the limited donor skin available for harvest in patients with high TBSA injuries, researchers have developed alternatives such as cultured epidermal autografts (CEA) in which a skin biopsy is taken from a patient and the cells are grown into sheets of skin in a laboratory and then returned for autografting onto the

23

patient. Limitations associated with CEAs, including Epicel^® from Vericel Corporation, include the time to grow the sheets of skin (approximately three weeks), the fact that the skin grown contains only keratinocytes and therefore lack the melanocytes that provide pigmentation, and the high cost. As a result, CEAs have been lifesaving in very high TBSA patients (> 30% TBSA) but in the U.S. the use of CEAs have been limited to approximately 100 patients per year.

Trauma Wounds (Soft Tissue Injuries)

Trauma wounds or soft tissue injuries include abrasions, lacerations, punctures, gunshot wounds, crush wounds, and degloving. Severe traumatic wounds may require surgical intervention to close the wound and stabilize the patient. The most common trauma injuries requiring autografting are degloving and crush wounds. The harvesting and autografting procedures for trauma wounds are similar to the treatment of severe burn injuries, as are the limitations and shortcomings. Patients requiring autografting for trauma wounds are often treated in trauma centers in hospitals by plastic surgeons. Approximately half of the surgeons treating patients with severe burns requiring autografting in the U.S. also treat trauma patients requiring autografting, therefore the soft tissue injury market complements our commercialization efforts related to the U.S. burn market.

Vitiligo and Other Dermatological Indications

Vitiligo is a disease that causes the loss of skin pigmentation or color in patches which tend to increase in size over time. The extent and rate of color loss from vitiligo is unpredictable, can affect the skin on any part of the body, and may also affect hair and the inside of the mouth. Non-segmental vitiligo is the most common variant and impacts the majority of patients and is characterized by symmetrical patches that appear on both sides of the body; as on hands and knees.

Vitiligo occurs when melanocytes, the pigment-producing skin cells, die or stop producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes color. Vitiligo is believed to be an autoimmune disorder in which a patient’s immune system attacks and destroys the melanocytes in the skin. It may also be caused by heredity factors or a triggering event, such as sunburn, stress or exposure to industrial chemicals. Vitiligo affects people of all skin types, but it may be more noticeable in people with darker skin. The condition is not life-threatening or physically painful but can significantly alter physical appearance, have negative emotional and psychological consequences, and impair quality of life.

Vitiligo cannot be cured at present, and medical treatments generally fall into one of two categories:

Survey results reveal a low level of patient satisfaction with current treatment options. The majority of vitiligo patients in the U.S. are treated by dermatologists. In 2016, China accounted for the highest prevalence in the world with 7.7 million cases, followed by the U.S. 2.6 million cases, Japan with 2.1 million and the EU with 1.4 million.

We expect to explore potential benefits of variants of the RECELL System platform in the aesthetics markets, estimated to be a US$10 billion market in the U.S. alone in 2018. As part of this program the Company may also target certain orphan diseases, such as epidermolysis bullosa and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) which are both rare genetic condition that require more effective treatments.

24

Chronic Wounds

The chronic and other hard-to-heal wound market consists of a broad population of more than 6 million patients in the U.S. suffering from condition such as venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and non-healing surgical wounds. Chronic and other hard-to-heal wounds represent a US$25 billion burden to the U.S. healthcare system. Chronic and hard-to-heal wounds are caused by impairment in the biochemical and cellular healing processes due to local or systemic conditions and generally can take weeks or months to heal, if not longer. Such wounds can lead to significant morbidity, including pain, infection, impaired mobility, hospitalization, reduced productivity, amputation and mortality.

Venous Leg Ulcers:

Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are associated with poor venous return (ischemia), primarily occurring as a result of age, obesity, previous leg injuries, deep venous thrombosis, and phlebitis. Venous ulcers are often recurrent, and an open ulcer can persist for weeks to many years. Treatment options for venous ulcers include leg elevation, compression therapy, dressings, pentoxifylline, and aspirin therapy. Surgical management is also indicated for ulcers that are large, of prolonged duration, or refractory to conservative measures. The refractory nature of these ulcers increases the risk of morbidity and mortality and they have a significant impact on patient quality of life. The financial burden of venous ulcers is estimated to be $2 billion per year in the U.S.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers:

A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is an open sore or wound and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Approximately 5% to 7% of people with diabetes currently have or previously had a DFU, and approximately 25% will develop a DFU in their lifetime. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, 6% will be hospitalized due to infection or other ulcer-related complication. DFUs are the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in the U.S. In the U.S., it is estimated that 1.3 million people have DFUs, and over US$15 billion was spent on the care of this condition. Depending on the severity of the DFU, treatment includes offloading therapy to help redistribute foot pressure away from the ulcer, advanced wound dressings, and negative pressure wound therapy. For DFUs that require surgical closure, autografts, skin substitutes, or biologics can be utilized.

The RECELL System

The RECELL® Autologous Cell Harvesting System (RECELL System) uses a small amount of a patient’s own skin to prepare Spray-On Skin Cells, an autologous cellular suspension comprised of the patient’s skin cells necessary to regenerate natural healthy epidermis. These Spray-On Skin Cells are prepared using the RECELL System at the point of care in as little as 30 minutes, providing a new way to treat thermal burns and other wounds or defects of the skin. The regenerative skin cell suspension includes keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and melanocytes, all of which play a critical role in wound healing. The ability of the RECELL System to retain melanocytes in the cell suspension is notable as these cells are fragile and are critical for the restoration of natural pigmentation to the area treated.

The RECELL System is a single-use (disposable), stand-alone, battery operated, autologous cell harvesting device containing enzymatic and buffer solutions, sterile surgical instruments, and actuators to achieve the disaggregation and delivery of skin cells. A small skin sample from a patient is enzymatically and mechanically processed in the RECELL System at the point of care to isolate skin cells and to produce a suspension of Spray-On Skin Cells for immediate delivery onto a prepared wound bed. The RECELL System can be used to prepare enough suspension to treat a wound up to 80 times the size of the donor skin sample. For example, a skin sample approximately the size of a credit card can be used to treat a wound that covers an adult patient’s entire back.

25

Preparation and Application of Spray-On Skin Cells Using the RECELL System

In the U.S., the RECELL System is approved by the FDA for use in the treatment of acute thermal burn wounds in patients 18 years and older. The RECELL System is approved for use by appropriately-licensed healthcare professionals at the patients point of care to prepare autologous Spray-On Skin Cells for direct application to acute partial-thickness burns, or application in combination with meshed autografting for acute full-thickness burns. In the U.S., the RECELL System is produced in a configuration that allows the preparation of up to 24 ml of cell suspension which can be used to cover an acute wound area up to 1,920 cm², or approximately 10% of a patient’s body.

In Australia, the RECELL System is TGA-registered for the treatment of burns, acute wounds, scars and vitiligo. In China, the RECELL System is CFDA-cleared for the treatment of burns, acute wounds, scars and vitiligo. The RECELL system is produced in a configuration that allows for treatment of up to 320 cm² for the markets in Australia and China. In Europe, the RECELL System received CE-mark approval for the treatment of burns, chronic wounds, scars and vitiligo.

The RECELL System Clinical Results and Ongoing and Planned Clinical Trials

The September 2018 FDA approval of the RECELL System for use in the treatment of acute thermal burns in patients 18 and older was supported by two prospective, randomized, controlled pivotal clinical trials, one in deep partial-thickness (second-degree) burns and one in mixed and full-thickness (third-degree) burns. The randomized, controlled trials demonstrated that treatment using the RECELL System requires substantially less donor skin than required with conventional split-thickness autografts to achieve closure of burn wounds. Reduction in donor skin requirements provides key clinical benefits to patients and significant reductions in the cost of treatment. The results of these clinical studies have been published in peer-reviewed scientific publications and have been presented at burn meetings and other major scientific conferences. Presentations by key opinion leaders have been made at over 20 scientific conferences in 2018 and 2019, including presentations of the pivotal clinical trial results and the clinical results related to use of the RECELL System in the treatment of burns in specific subgroups of patients and types of burn injuries, including facial burns and large TBSA burns. Patients included in many of these presentations were treated as part of the FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs made available to burn patients prior to the FDA approval.

In addition to and extensive clinical trial program in acute thermal burns in adults, earlier-stage clinical studies have been conducted in pediatric burns, scald injuries, treatment of donor sites, vitiligo, chronic wounds (venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers), scar hypopigmentation, and acute trauma.

The RECELL System Clinical Results in Thermal Burns

RECELL Pivotal Clinical Trial in Second-Degree Acute Thermal Burns

One of the two randomized, controlled clinical trials of the RECELL System supporting the September 2018 FDA approval was a study of patients with partial-thickness (second-degree burns) conducted at 12 U.S. burn centers. The pivotal trial evaluated 101 adult patients with thermal, partial-thickness burns covering 1% to 20% of their total body surface area. Patients served as their own control, and two comparable burn sites were selected for comparative testing on each patient. One burn site on each patient was treated with Spray-On-Skin Cells prepared using the RECELL System, while the other burn site was treated with the standard treatment, consisting of meshed autograft expanded 2:1.

During the pivotal trial, the patient donor skin required to be harvested to treat burn sites using the RECELL System was 97.5% less than the amount harvested to treat burn sites with the standard of care (p<0.001). Despite the statistically significant reduction in donor skin required to treat with the RECELL System, burn sites treated using the RECELL System achieved definitive closure and long-term outcomes, including durability, comparable to the burn sites treated with standard of care.

Secondary endpoints measured in the trial highlighted additional clinical benefits of the significant reduction in donor skin harvested for treatment using the RECELL System, including:

In the clinical trial, use of the RECELL System in the trial was safe and well tolerated with adverse experiences typical for the type of burn injury sustained. The results of this trial were published in a peer-reviewed scientific publication, the Journal of Burn Care & Research, in September 2018.

27

RECELL Pivotal Clinical Trial in Third-Degree Acute Thermal Burns

The second randomized, controlled clinical trial of the RECELL System supporting the September 2018 FDA approval was a study of patients with mixed and full-thickness (third-degree burns) conducted at seven U.S. burn centers. The pivotal trial evaluated 30 patients ranging in age from nine to 68 years old with thermal, mixed-thickness burns, including full-thickness burns, covering 5% to 46% of their total body surface area. Patients served as their own control, and two comparable burn sites were selected for comparative testing on each patient. One burn site was treated with the standard treatment, meshed autograft, while the other was treated with Spray-On-Skin Cells prepared using the RECELL System combined with more widely meshed autografts (for example, if a 2:1 meshed autograft was used to treat the control burn site, then a 3:1 meshed autograft used in combination with Spray-On Skin Cells was used to treat the RECELL site). The co-primary endpoints of the pivotal trial were reduction in donor skin requirements and non-inferiority in complete wound closure.

The pivotal clinical trial achieved its co-primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in donor skin requirements versus standard of care while achieving comparable definitive wound closure. Treatment using the RECELL System achieved comparable healing, long-term scar and patient satisfaction outcomes using significantly less donor skin with no safety concerns. During the pivotal trial, the patient donor skin required to be harvested to treat burn sites with the RECELL System was 32% less than the amount harvested to treat burn sites with the standard of care (p<0.001). Despite the statistically significant reduction in donor skin required to treat using the RECELL System, eight weeks post treatment 92% of the burn sites treated using the RECELL System achieved complete healing versus 85% for the sites treated with the standard of care, demonstrating non-inferiority.

Reduction in Donor Skin Requirements in Pivotal Trial in Second-Degree Burns

Use of the RECELL System was safe and well tolerated with no device-related adverse events. The results of this trial were published online ahead of print in a peer-reviewed scientific publication, Burns, in December 2018, and will appear in the print version of the journal in 2019.

BEACON Cost-Effectiveness Model Demonstrates Costs Savings Associated with use of RECELL System in Treatment of Severe Burns

To investigate the value proposition and potential transformative health economic impact of the RECELL System in burn care, a hospital-perspective cost-effectiveness model was developed by IQVIA^™, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), and AVITA Medical. The Burn-MCM (Medical Counter Measure) Effectiveness Assessment Cost Outcomes Nexus (BEACON) model evaluates how practice patterns, interventions and patient characteristics interact across all phases of care (wound assessment, debridement/excision, temporary coverage and permanent closure) to understand how patient and burn center outcomes change given the incorporation of a new burn care treatment, such as the RECELL System.

As described in a peer-reviewed scientific publication in Advances in Therapy, accepted in April 2019, the BEACON model uses sequential decision trees to depict the acute care pathway for burn patients, and then predicts how the RECELL System would modify treatment for patients with burns ranging from 10% to 40% TBSA. Clinical inputs were derived from randomized controlled trials, burn surgeon surveys and interviews, and the American Burn Association National Burn Repository. An accompanying budget impact model builds on the cost-effectiveness calculations to evaluate overall cost impact to a burn center or payor associated with incorporation of the RECELL System into patient care.

The BEACON model shows that treatment using the RECELL System for deep partial-thickness burns reduces total treatment costs by an average of 26%, or approximately US$37,000, for patients with 10% TBSA and 40%, or approximately US$150,000, for patients with 40% TBSA. For full-thickness burns, treatment using the RECELL System reduced total treatment cost by 3%, or approximately US$6,000, for patients with 10% TBSA, and by 42% or approximately US$243,000, for patients with 40% TBSA. The cost reductions are attributed to decreasing the length of hospital stay, the number of procedures required to close the burn wound, the donor site size and associated wound care, and number of downstream contracture release procedures. All cost savings estimates are net of the cost of the RECELL System.

The budget impact model was also used to calculate the annual budget impact of current standard of care for the treatment of burns versus treatment using the RECELL System for a burn center with 200 patients. The model determined that treatment using the RECELL System would reduce annual total treatment costs from approximately US$39.4 million to US$32.6 million, saving 17% or approximately US$6.8 million.

The BEACON model may be run for the specific demographics of an individual burn center or territory, allowing the burn institution or region to evaluate the potential benefits of the RECELL System within their specific population of burn patients. As described by researchers at a presentation at the American Burn Association 51^st Annual Meeting in April 2019, the patient characteristics for the Arizona Burn Center (for example, age, burn depth, TBSA) were input into the BEACON model based on the 800 patients with 10% TBSA and greater burns treated in 2018 at the institution, and demonstrated:

A similar presentation was made by researchers at the 31st Annual Southern Region Burn Conference in November 2018 which described the application of the BEACON model to the patient characteristics for the Firefighter Burn Center, Memphis, Tennessee, and University of Tennessee Health Science Center. The model determined that treating patients with the RECELL System alone, or in combination with widely spaced skin grafts, could reduce the burn center’s costs by up to US$21 million per year compared to conventional treatment.

29

Major drivers of the cost savings included a decrease in length of hospital stay and a reduction in the number of surgeries and related resources (blood transfusions and dressings).

The BEACON model highlights the potential of the RECELL System to improve patient care in the treatment of severe burns, while also providing a technique for reducing the total cost of treatment.

Additional RECELL Clinical Results in Severe Burns

A series of studies have been presented at scientific conferences and evaluated multiple patient categories and burn types in more than 150 burn patients that were treated under FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs made available to patients prior to the FDA approval. Many of these studies includes a class of patients or types of burn injuries that fall outside of the currently approved U.S. product labeling.

RECELL in Treatment of Facial Burns

Deep partial-thickness facial burns present a challenge in reconstructive surgery. Standard of care typically includes excision and allograft followed by split-thickness autografting. Limitations of the current treatment regimen includes dyspigmentation at the sites of the skin grafts and hypertrophic scaring at the seams of the grafts, resulting in substantial patient dissatisfaction with the outcome.

At the American Burn Association 50^th Annual Meeting in April 2018, clinical researchers provided a retrospective review of clinical outcomes obtained in the treatment with the RECELL System of five patients with acute deep partial-thickness facial burn injuries under the Compassionate Use IDE program. Patients in the facial burn case studies ranged from 2 to 40 years of age and had burns covering 35% to 62% TBSA. Researchers reported that in this small study, treatment using the RECELL System provided equivalent or superior results to current treatments in facial burn care in terms of wound healing, and excellent cosmetic outcomes.

A representative patient in the trial was a 12-year-old girl with 2nd-degree facial burn and widespread 3rd-degree burns, with total injuries encompassing a 62% TBSA. The patient had insufficient donor skin available for standard autografts. The healing of the patient’s facial burns is highlighted in the progressions of photographs included below.

Facial Burn Case Study

Researchers observed that the reintroduction of melanocytes as part of the cellular suspension prepared using the RECELL System resulted in an excellent cosmetic outcome. The patient did not require surgical revisions for facial contractures and was discharged from the hospital in 24 days.

RECELL in Treatment of Pediatric Patients

In patients with extensive burn injuries, lack of available donor skin is a major limitation achieving permanent closure, and the longer a wound remains open the more susceptible a patient is to infection. In the

30

U.S., one-third of burn injuries occur in children, and the availability of donor skin for traditional meshed autografts is even more limited in pediatric patients with extensive injuries. The use of the RECELL System, a donor skin sparing technology that enables rapid definitive closure of burn wounds, has the potential to improve patient outcomes.

Interim results describing clinical outcomes for pediatric patients treated using the RECELL System were presented at the American Burn Association (ABA) 51st Annual Meeting in April 2019. The study included a total of 23 pediatric patients with a median age of 6.7 years old (ranging from 0.8 to 16.0) treated under FDA IDE Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs with mixed-depth and full-thickness (third-degree) burns. The presentation was selected as a “Best of the Best Abstract” out of more than 500 abstract submissions to the ABA meeting.

In this study of pediatric patients which included those with life-threatening thermal burn injuries, Spray-On Skin Cells prepared using the RECELL System were applied in combination with widely meshed split-thickness autografts to achieve definitive closure using minimal donor skin. A total of 107 burn wounds were treated in the study, and 98% achieved definitive healing within four weeks of treatment. Importantly, for patients with greater than 50% TBSA burns, treatment with the combination of Spray-On Skin Cells and widely meshed split-thickness autografts achieved the same high rate of healing at week four as patients with smaller burns (burns equal to or less than 50% TBSA) treated with the same combination. In addition, in the study the donor sites on all patients were treated with Spray-On Skin Cells, and 62.5% of the donor sites were healed within a week of treatment, and 100% were completely healed within two weeks of treatment. Researcher reported that the majority of burn sites had cosmetic outcomes rated as satisfactory or equivalent compared to uninjured skin and that the early healing of donor sites contributed to a decrease between harvest times for patients with limited donor skin availability.

Two additional randomized, controlled clinical trials using the RECELL System in the treatment of pediatric patients are currently underway, and a third trial in this population is expected to begin in the middle of 2019.

RECELL Treatment of Donor Sites

In large TBSA injuries a patient may not have enough donor skin available to allow for immediate treatment of the entire area of burn injuries with traditional autografting techniques. In severely burned patients with extensive injuries, surgeons often must wait until the donor sites have healed so that they can reharvest from the site, resulting in delays in treatment and healing and the need for multiple procedures and extended hospital time.

Interim results describing clinical outcomes associated with the treatment of donor sites using the RECELL System in patients with large TBSA burn were presented at the American Burn Association 51st Annual Meeting in April 2019 (the presentation was awarded Best in Category at the meeting). In the prospective observational study of 73 subjects with life-threatening thermal burn injuries treated under the Compassionate Use program, 426 donor sites wounds were treated with Spray-On Skin Cells prepared using the RECELL System. The mean TBSA of the patients in the study was 54% with burns ranging from 20% to 91% TBSA. Two weeks after treatment, 91% of the donor sites had healed in this vulnerable patient population, and 98% had healed by week eight. Donor sites treated using the RECELL System were able to be reharvested as early as seven days after treatment. No infection or delayed healing were reported for donor sites treated with Spray-On Skin Cells. Researchers noted that the ability to reharvest additional donor skin from a site in as little one week after treatment with the RECELL System is extremely beneficial in this population of patients with extensive life-threatening injuries and limited available donor skin.

A representative patient in the study was a 16-month-old female with a 30% TBSA mixed depth thermal burn with donor sites taken from her back. Medical professionals applied Spray-On Skin Cells to her donor site wound. The donor sites were 100% re-epithelialized by within two weeks of treatment. At one-year follow-up the

31

donor site wound had matching color, pigment, and texture to the surrounding skin. Treatment and healing of the patient’s donor site is highlighted in the photographs included below.

A randomized, controlled clinical trial of the use of the RECELL System in the treatment of donor sites in pediatric patients is currently underway.

RECELL in Treatment of Patients with Extensive Burns (Large TBSA Patients)

In patients with extensive burn injuries, lack of available donor skin is a major limitation in achieving permanent closure, and the longer a wound remains open the more susceptible a patient is to infection. At the American Burn Association 51st Annual Meeting in April 2019 researchers presented data showing that the use of the RECELL System in combination with meshed autografts achieves definitive closure for patients with burn injuries greater than 50% TBSA and achieved comparable outcomes to patients with less severe injuries.

In this study of 35 patients with life-threatening thermal burn injuries, Spray-On Skin were applied in combination with widely meshed split-thickness autografts to achieve definitive closure using minimal donor skin. For patients with greater than 50% TBSA burns, 150 burn wounds were treated with the combination of Spray-On Skin Cells and widely meshed split-thickness autografts, with 95% of the wounds achieving complete wound closure two months after treatment. For patients with equal to or less than 50% TBSA burns, 53 burn wounds were treated with the same combination and the rate of healing was similar to the large TBSA patients, with 92% of wounds achieving full healing two months after treatment. Researchers reported that there was no device related adverse events and long-term durability was excellent.

Ongoing and Future Clinical Trials in Burns

U.S. Pediatric Donor Site Study:

In October 2018 we initiated a randomized, controlled clinical study in the U.S. to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Spray-On Skin Cells prepared with the RECELL System compared to conventional care for healing of donor sites in pediatric patients (infants, children and adolescents aged one to 16 years). The study will evaluate a minimum of 50 patients who require autografting in approximately eight U.S. centers. Patients who are eligible for the study may be undergoing autografting for any reason, including burns, trauma, and reconstruction. The study is a matched-pairs design where patients will serve as their own control. For each patient, two donor sites of similar surface area will be selected and randomized to be treated with Spray-On Skin Cells or serve as the control (treated with standard dressings only).

32

The primary effectiveness endpoint is time in days for complete healing of the donor sites. Secondary and tertiary endpoints include:

Patients will be followed for one-year after treatment. The pediatric donor-site study is being 100% funded by Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) under the ongoing program. This study is intended to support U.S. regulatory approval for marketing of the RECELL System for patients under the age of 18.

Australian Pediatric Scalds Study:

In August 2018 a randomized, controlled clinical study of the use of the RECELL System in the treatment of significant superficial partial- and mid-thickness pediatric burns, including scald injuries, was initiated in Australia. The current standard of care for children with partial-thickness burns is cleaning of the wound followed by a dressing application. Limitations of the standard of care include delay in healing of the burn injury, scarring, and pain. The clinical trial will include approximately 90 patients under 18 years old. Patients will be randomized into one of three groups and will be treated either using the RECELL System and Biobrane^® dressing, the Biobrane dressing alone, or standard care (silver impregnated silicone lined dressing). The primary endpoint will be days to re-epithelization of the burn injury. Secondary endpoints include pain, patient satisfaction and scarring.

U.S. Pediatric Early Intervention Pediatric Study:

In late 2019 we plan to initiate a randomized, controlled clinical study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Spray-On Skin Cells prepared with the RECELL System compared to standard of care dressings for treatment of partial-thickness burns in pediatric patients (infants, children and adolescents aged one to 16 years). The study will evaluate 160 patients in up to 18 U.S. burn centers with burns of 5% to 30% TBSA. Half of the patients will be randomized to be treated using Spray-On Skin Cells. The other half will be randomized to serve in the control group and will be treated using standard dressings.

The primary measure of effectiveness is healing ten days after treatment, as assessed by a blinded evaluator. Secondary endpoints include:

Patients will be followed for one-year after treatment. The pediatric early intervention study is being 100% funded by Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) under the ongoing program. This study is intended to support U.S. regulatory approval for marketing of the RECELL System for patients under the age of 18.

The RECELL System Clinical Results in Vitiligo

Small pilot studies investigating the use of the RECELL System in the treatment of vitiligo have been the subject of multiple peer-reviewed scientific publications and presentations at medical conferences. A representative pilot study was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in July 2015. A total of ten patients with hypopigmentation were included in the study, five with stable segmental vitiligo, and five with piebaldism (a disorder of melanocyte development). The study was a randomized, intra-patient-controlled pilot study in which three depigmented sites were randomly allocated to be treated with the combination of CO₂ laser ablation followed by the application of Spray-On Skin Cells, CO₂ laser ablation alone, or no treatment.

The median repigmentation six months after treatment was 78% in the sites treated with the combination of CO₂ laser ablation followed by the application of Spray-On Skin Cells, compared to zero median repigmentation in the control groups consisting of treatment with CO₂ laser ablation alone or no treatment. The repigmentation for the sites treated with the combination of CO₂ laser ablation followed by the application of Spray-On Skin Cells was assessed as good or excellent by 70% of the patients. No adverse effects or long-term side effects were seen in the recipient sites. Researchers concluded that treatment with the combination of CO₂ laser ablation followed by the application of Spray-On Skin Cells resulted in a high percentage of repigmentation and was well tolerated in both stable segmental vitiligo and piebaldism patients. Photographs before and after treatment for a patient participating in the study are included below.

Vitiligo Patient Pre- and Six-Months Post Treatment

Baseline (pre-treatment)        Six months after treatment

Similar results were described by researchers in a publication in the British Journal of Dermatology in November 2017. In addition to studies which have already been the subject of peer-reviewed publication, the RECELL System has been used extensively in the treatment of vitiligo patients in countries in which the product is approved for treatment, including China were the prevalence of vitiligo is high. In May 2019 use of the RECELL System in the treatment of vitiligo patients in China was the subject of two presentations at a European medical conference. We plan to commence U.S. clinical trials of the use of the RECELL System for the treatment of stable vitiligo under a program designed to support a supplement to the existing PMA approval.

The RECELL System Clinical History in Chronic Wounds

Small pilot studies using the RECELL System in the treatment of chronic wounds, particularly venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, have been the subject of multiple peer-reviewed scientific publications and presentations at medical conferences. In addition to studies which have already been the subject of peer-reviewed publication, the RECELL System has been used in the treatment of chronic wound patients in countries in which the product is approved for treatment. A study published in the Acta Vulnologica in September 2012 included seven patients with 12 vascular ulcers which had remained open for more than 12 months. Each wound was prepared and then treated with Spray-On Skin Cells prepared using the RECELL System. Ulcer volume and depth decreased 50% to 80% within four weeks of treatment, and six of the wounds that had remained unhealed

34

for more than one year were completely closed within 24 weeks of treatment. Researchers concluded that treatment with the RECELL System allowed the repair process to restart in all 12 wounds, and that patients reported reduced pain within days of treatment.

In a study published in the British Journal of Surgery in January 2015, 88 patients with chronic wounds that had not healed for at least four weeks were evaluated. Patients were randomized to receive treatment with the combination of Spray-On Skin Cells and split-thickness autografts, or autografts alone. Results of the randomized, controlled study were as follows:

Researchers concluded that the combination of Spray-On Skin Cell and autografts is more effective and safer than autografts alone. Although the study involved treatment of a mix of chronic wounds, many were diabetic foot ulcers. The researchers suggest that the results show a broad range of potential applicability for the use of the RECELL System.

In a study published in the International Wound Journal in February 2015, 20 patients with chronic ulcers were evaluated in a single arm study. Patients participating in the study had arterial, diabetic, posttraumatic, or venous ulcers that had failed to heal after treatment with conventional therapies. Each wound was prepared and then treated with Spray-On Skin Cells prepared using the RECELL System. Within 60 days of treatment, 70% of the patients experience complete healing of their wounds. Five of the patients had 80% healing of their wounds within 60 days of treatment, and one patient at 50% healing at that time point. Patients also experienced a reduction in pain post treatment using the RECELL System and experienced no limitation in their ability to engage in normal daily activities. Color, texture and aesthetics results were rated as good. Researchers concluded that use of the RECELL System in the treatment of chronic wounds is simple minimally invasive, biocompatible and effective.

Due to the significant costs and risks of conducting larger-scale, late-stage clinical trials in the treatment of chronic wounds, we may elect to proceed with development of the RECELL System in more advanced clinical trials under the umbrella of a corporate collaboration to allow for participation in any future commercial success of the program while minimizing near-term resource requirements.

The RECELL System in Trauma Injuries (Soft-Tissue Injuries)

Case studies the use of the RECELL System in the treatment of trauma injuries (soft-tissue injuries) have been the subject of peer-reviewed scientific publications and presentations at medical conferences that cover a wider range of injuries or wounds of the skin. Patients with trauma injuries have also been treated using the RECELL System under the U.S. Compassionate Use program and in countries in which the product is approved for treatment. We announced on September 17, 2019 that the FDA approved an IDE application to conduct a trauma injuries (soft-tissue injuries) pivotal clinical trial. We plan to commence a U.S. clinical trial within the next six months in the use of the RECELL System for the treatment of trauma injuries under a program designed to support a supplement to the existing PMA approval.

35

The RECELL System in Other Indications

We expect to explore potential benefits of variants of the RECELL System platform in aesthetics markets, and as part of this initiative has exploratory programs underway in certain orphan diseases, such as epidermolysis bullosa and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).

BARDA Contract

We have a contract with Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, valued at least US$50.4 million (approximately A$68.14). The contract provides funding for the development of the RECELL System and future use of the product as a medical countermeasure to assist disaster preparedness and response in the U.S. for mass casualties involving burn injuries. We entered into the contract on September 29, 2015, and the scope was expanded as a result of amendments entered into as of June 24, 2016 and September 18, 2017. The contract terminates September 28, 2022 and may be terminated earlier at the option of BARDA.

Under the contract, BARDA provide funding and technical support for the development of the RECELL System. BARDA funded the completion of two randomized, controlled pivotal clinical trials, as well as Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs, and development of the health economic model demonstrating the cost savings associated with the RECELL System. BARDA has exercised a contract option to fund two randomized, controlled clinical trials in pediatric patients. The pediatric donor site study commenced in October 2018 and the pediatric early intervention study will commence in late 2019. Also included in the BARDA contract is provision for the future procurement of the RECELL System by BARDA under a vendor managed inventory system to bolster, at BARDA’s option, disaster preparedness in the amount of US$7.6 million (approximately A$10.3 million), although BARDA also has the option of increasing the amount of the procurement. In connection with the BARDA contract, we anticipate that with respect to vendor-managed inventory systems, our margins may be lower. As the vendor-managed system is solely at BARDA’s option, we are unable to predict when the Company will recognize revenue on this portion, if at all. As of December 31, 2018, we had received cumulative payments of A$22.6 million under the BARDA contract.

Research and Development

Our research and development efforts are focused on:

See “ITEM 4, Clinical Results and Ongoing and Planned Clinical Trials” for additional details on our ongoing research and development efforts.

Manufacturing, Supply and Production

We operate a production plant in Ventura, California, in a 23,040 square foot facility that we lease through September 30, 2021. We have the right to extend the lease, at our sole option, as a result of three, three-year,

36

options that allow us to extend the lease up to an additional nine years in total. We produce the RECELL System in this facility under the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) requirements of the FDA and the regulatory agencies of other jurisdictions in which we sell the RECELL System. As we seek regulatory approval in Japan and other new international countries for the RECELL System, the regulatory authorities of these counties are likely to review our manufacturing process, inspect our plant, and confirm that we meet all regulatory requirements. Any material future changes to our production processes for the RECELL System will have to be approved by the FDA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions.

All production requirements for the RECELL System, including devices required for U.S. and international sales and clinical trial requirements, have been manufactured at the Ventura facility since 2009. Up until June 30, 2018, the RECELL System was produced in the Ventura facility on our behalf by a Fortune 500 contract manufacturer who produced multiple GMP products for third parties. Due to a consolidation of facilities by the contract manufacturer, effective July 1, 2018 we entered into a series of agreements to take control of the Ventura plant, lease the facility, and acquire manufacturing equipment from the contract manufacturer at no cost.

Within the Ventura facility we perform the final manufacturing, assembly, packaging and warehousing of the RECELL System. Also included within the Ventura facility is a controlled warehouse designed to meet the vendor-managed inventory requirements of the BARDA program. We source multiple components, sub-assemblies and materials from third-party suppliers, who are required to meet our quality specifications. Included among the items procured from suppliers is porcine-derived trypsin, which is the enzyme key to the skin cell disaggregation performed using the RECELL System. Although we endeavor to have multiple sources of supply for key components, subassemblies and materials, some are procured from single source suppliers. We continue to evaluate methods of removing risk from the supply chain for the RECELL System, including ultimately moving to a recombinantly produced Trypsin.

We believe that our current manufacturing capacity at the Ventura facility is sufficient to meet the expected commercial demand for the RECELL System for burns and other indications currently under development.

Marketing Sales and Distribution

We sell the RECELL System in the U.S. through our own commercial organization consisting of 20 field sales personnel (consisting of Regenerative Tissue Specialists, Clinical Training specialists and regional managers). and the field sales team is supported by centralized marketing, reimbursement, sales operations and leadership personnel, and also receives clinical and scientific support from our Medical Affairs team. The field sales team was recruited and hired subsequent to the September 2018 FDA approval and were trained prior to our U.S. market launch of the RECELL System in January 2019. All of our field sales personnel have prior experience in the U.S. burn market and in the launch of new products. Each of the clinical training specialists responsible for training the surgeons and other medical personnel within the burn centers are experienced burn nurses.

The market for the treatment of burns in the U.S. is highly concentrated, with 134 burn centers and approximately 300 burn surgeons. Accordingly, we believe that our sales organization is of an appropriate size to reach the burn surgeons and other key decision makers associated with our initial target market of patients with burn injuries of 10% or greater TBSA treated on an in-patient basis within U.S. burn centers. As a result of the concentrated nature of the U.S. burn market, we do not have an external distribution or warehousing structure and ship the RECELL System directly from our Ventura facility to U.S. burn centers.

The objective of our field sale team is to build upon burn community awareness resulting from the extensive series of burn conference presentations and scientific publications to further expand the interest in clinical and economic benefits of the RECELL System among burn surgeons and other professionals who are not already experienced with the product. In addition, we have set a policy of not providing the RECELL System to a burn center or other institution until their site has been certified by us, which includes training in the use of the product

37

and in the proper aftercare of the patient. Training of the burn sites is undertaken by the clinical training specialist component of our sales team, augmented from personnel by our Medical Affairs team. In general, we expect most U.S. burn centers will follow the industry standard process of evaluating the RECELL System and then taking it through their hospital’s Value Analysis Committees (VAC) prior to purchasing the product. This process can sometimes be a lengthy one taking six months to complete. As a result of the training requirements and the VAC process, we expect that the adoption of the RECELL System among U.S. burn centers will occur on a staggered basis over multiple years.

In the U.S., hospital and physician reimbursement associated with in-patient treatment using the RECELL System was in place prior to the commencement of commercial sales. For in-patient treatment of burn patients, U.S. hospitals are reimbursed under ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) codes based on diagnosis of a patient’s injuries. For physicians, CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes for use in procedures using the RECELL System were recommended by the American Burn Association within one week of FDA approval. Future expansion, based on additional clinical data and subject to a supplement to our PMA, of the use of the RECELL System for the treatment of burns or other indications on an outpatient basis will require us to successfully obtain reimbursement for use of the product in that setting.

In February 2019 we entered into a collaboration with COSMOTEC, an M3 Group company, to market and distribute the RECELL System for the treatment of burns and other wounds in Japan. In China we have relied upon a series of one-year distributorships to allow awareness of the product to build while maintaining flexibility to undertake an alternative commercialization strategy as data to support the approval and use of the RESELL System in other indications becomes available. Our commercialization efforts in other regions in which the RECELL System is approved for sale is based on our assessment that the acute burn market in many countries is proportionately less than the market in the U.S., and the investments in a full marketing and sales resources and the effort to obtain reimbursement are not justified until we have obtained pivotal clinical results in additional indications. In Australia and Europe for the past year we have not engaged in any substantial promotion of the RECELL System but have limited our commercialization efforts to filing sales orders as received. As additional pivotal trial data for the RECELL System is generated in additional indications, we expect to commercialize the product in countries outside the U.S. through a combination of collaborations and direct efforts, depending upon the territory and the indication.

Intellectual Property

We seek to protect our intellectual property, core technologies and other know-how through a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, licenses, assignments of invention and other contractual arrangements with our employees, consultants, partners, suppliers, customers and others. Additionally, we rely on our research and development program, clinical trials, know-how and marketing and distribution programs to advance our products and product candidates, and to expand our intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2018, we have been granted a total of a total of 32 patents and have 15 pending patent applications worldwide.

The U.S. patents and patent applications provide coverage with expected expiration dates ranging from 2022 to 2033. U.S. patents covering the composition of matter related to the current RECELL System expire in 2022. We have filed a Patent Term Extension (PTE) application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office requesting an extension of the patent term of U.S. Patent No. 9,029,140, “Cell suspension preparation technique and device” as a result of the time required for the FDA regulatory process. If the term extension requested in the PTE application is approved, the patent term of U.S. Patent No. 9,029,140 will be extended to 2028. We expect that further research and characterization of the characteristics of the RECELL System, the composition and activity of the Spray-On Skin Cells solution, and the design of the device currently underway will provide additional claims, including composition of matter, for which we will be able to pursue additional U.S. and international patent applications. Patents and patent applications in key international markets parallel those in the U.S.

38

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology innovation, drawings, technical specifications and other proprietary information in attempting to develop and maintain our competitive position. We also rely on protection available under trademark laws, and we currently hold various registered trademarks and pending trademark applications, including the “RECELL,”,” “Spray-On Skin Cells,” and “REGENERATIVE EPIDERMAL SUSPENSION (RES),” in the U.S. and international markets.

While our policy is to obtain patents by application, license or otherwise, to maintain trade secrets and to seek to operate without infringing on the intellectual property rights of third parties, technologies related to our business have been rapidly developing in recent years. Additionally, patent applications that we may file or license from third parties may not result in the issuance of patents, and our issued patents and any issued patents that we may receive in the future may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. For example, we cannot predict the extent of claims that may be allowed or enforced in our patents nor be certain of the priority of inventions covered by pending third-party patent applications. If third parties prepare and file patent applications that also claim technology or therapeutics to which we have rights, we may have to participate in proceedings to determine priority of invention, which could result in substantial costs to us, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us. Moreover, because of the extensive time required for clinical development and regulatory review of a product we may develop, it is possible that, before the RECELL System can be commercialized in additional indications or jurisdictions and/or before any of our future products can be commercialized, related patents will have expired or will expire a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing the advantage of such patent. Loss or invalidation of certain of our patents, or a finding of unenforceability or limited scope of certain of our intellectual property, could have a material adverse effect on us. See “ITEM 3.D. Risk Factors – If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to operate our business and third parties may be able to use and profit from our technology, both of which would impair our ability to be competitive.”

Competition

The medical device, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to significant technological change and changes in practice. While we believe that our innovative technology, knowledge, experience and scientific resources provide us with competitive advantages, we may face competition from many different sources with respect to the RECELL System or any product candidates that we may seek to develop and commercialize in the future. Possible competitors may include medical device, pharmaceutical and wound care companies, academic and medical institutions, governmental agencies, medical practitioners, and public and private research institutions, among others. Any product that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with existing therapies and new therapies that may become available in the future.

In addition, in the treatment of acute burns we face competition from the current standard of care, primarily split-thickness autografts. Although the RECELL System is complementary with autografts for the treatment of many burn injuries, we face competition from this traditional surgical procedure for many burn patients. However, based on our clinical trials, we believe that the RECELL System has a sustainable competitive clinical and economic advantages over the current standard of care. See “ITEM 4 – The RECELL System Clinical History and Ongoing and Planned Clinical Trials” for the results of our clinical trials.

Government Regulations

FDA and International Regulation

The production and marketing of the RECELL System and any additional product candidates developed in the future ongoing research and development activities are subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities including the FDA in the United States and similar agencies in other countries throughout the world.

39

Pursuant to its authority under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) the FDA has jurisdiction over medical devices in the U.S. The FDA regulates, among other things, the research, testing, manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, premarket clearance or approval, marketing and promotion and sales and distribution of medical devices in the U.S. to ensure that medical products distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses. The FD&C Act classifies medical devices into one of three categories based on the risks associated with the device and the level of control necessary to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously 510(k) cleared device are categorized as Class III. These devices typically require submission and approval of a Premarket Approval Application, or PMA. The RECELL System is categorized as a Class III medical device, and in September 2018 the FDA approved our PMA for use in the treatment of acute thermal burns in patients 18 years and older. Approval of the RECELL System for use in the treatment of additional indications in the U.S. will require the submission to the FDA of a supplement to our PMA.

To support a PMA supplement or other application for approval in the U.S. or other regions, the completion of additional clinical and non-clinical studies and supporting development activities will likely be required. Clinical trials can take many years to complete and require the expenditure of substantial resources. The length of time varies substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of the product candidate. We cannot make any assurances that once clinical trials are completed by us or a collaborative partner, we will be able to submit as scheduled a marketing approval request to the applicable governmental regulatory authority, or that such request and application will be reviewed and cleared by such governmental authority in a timely manner, or at all. Although we intend to make use of fast-track and abbreviated regulatory approval programs when possible and commercially appropriate, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain the clearances and approvals necessary for clinical testing or for manufacturing and marketing our product candidates. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals could adversely affect the development and commercialization of our product candidates and could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. During the course of clinical trials and non-clinical studies, product candidates may exhibit unforeseen and unacceptable safety considerations. If any unacceptable side effects were to occur, we may, or regulatory authorities may require us to, interrupt, limit, delay or abort the development of our potential products.

Any products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to regulatory approvals are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA and similar agencies in other countries, including manufacturing, periodic reporting, product sampling and distribution, advertising, promotion, compliance with any post-approval requirements imposed as a conditional of approval, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including adverse events experiences. After approval, material changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, or changes to the manufacturing process, are subject to prior FDA and other agency review and approval. Medical device manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with the FDA, certain state agencies and international agencies and are subject to periodic announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA and these other agencies for compliance with cGMP requirements. We have an established process in place for categorization of vendor criticality and the associated activities for qualification and monitoring, which include but are not limited to, requiring certification of supplier in conformance to relevant cGMP regulations and other FDA and international agency regulatory requirements, approved supplier lists, and regular Company conducted audits. In addition, all goods and services purchased from suppliers by us must be purchased from only those suppliers on the approved supplier list. Furthermore, the Company itself will continue to comply with all relevant FDA requirements and regulations and any applicable international agency regulatory requirements in its continued manufacturing and promotion of its FDA approved commercial product.

The RECELL System is TGA-registered in Australia and CFDA-cleared in China for use in the treatment of burns, acute wounds, scars and vitiligo. In Europe, the RECELL System received CE-mark approval for the treatment of burns, chronic wounds, scars and vitiligo. In March 2019 we temporarily interrupted sales of the

40

RECELL System in the EU. The sales interruption occurred after the notified body responsible for EU certificates reported open items related to administrative and procedural non-conformities. These open items are limited to product distributed within the EU and are not related to product quality, performance or safety. While the temporary non-conformity caused us to suspend fulfilling any purchase requests in the EU, this action had no impact on the sale of products outside of the EU. We do not actively promote the products in the EU and its activity in the region is limited to filling purchase requests as they are received, therefore the financial impact to us of this temporary interruption was immaterial. On June 12, 2019, the notified body responsible for EU certificates closed all open administrative and procedural non-conformities previously announced and fully reinstated our EU certificates to allow the resumption of sales throughout the EU. In February 2019, our marketing partner COSMOTEC filed a Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act (“JPMDA”) application for approval to market the RECELL System in Japan for the treatment of burns and other wounds. The JPMDA has accepted the application and review is expected to take nine months to a year.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, prohibits any U.S. individual or business from paying, offering or authorizing payment or offering of anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any foreign official, political party or candidate for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of the foreign entity in order to assist the individual or business in obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA also obligates companies whose securities are listed in the United States to comply with accounting provisions requiring the companies to maintain books and records that accurately and fairly reflect all transactions of the companies, including international subsidiaries, and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls for international operations. We are also subject to similar regulations under the Australian bribery laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other anti-corruption laws that apply in countries where we do business.

Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

We are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in a number of jurisdictions, primarily in the United States, governing, among other things: the use, storage, registration, handling, emission and disposal of chemicals, waste materials and sewage; chemicals, air, water and ground contamination; air emissions and the cleanup of contaminated sites, including any contamination that results from spills due to our failure to properly dispose of chemicals, waste materials and sewage. Our operations at our Ventura manufacturing facility use biologic agents and produce waste materials and sewage. Our activities require permits from various governmental authorities including, local municipal authorities. Local authorities and the municipal water and sewage company conduct periodic inspections in order to review and ensure our compliance with the various regulations. We are no presently aware of any violations or deficiencies. These laws, regulations and permits could potentially require the expenditure by us for compliance or remediation.

If we fail to comply with such laws, regulations or permits, we may be subject to fines and other civil, administrative or criminal sanctions, including the revocation of permits and licenses necessary to continue our business activities. In addition, we may be required to pay damages or civil judgments in respect of third-party claims, including those relating to personal injury (including exposure to hazardous substances we use, store, handle, transport, manufacture or dispose of), property damage or contribution claims. Some environmental, health and safety laws allow for strict, joint and several liability for remediation costs, regardless of comparative fault. Should we be in violation of any such laws, we may be identified as a responsible party under such laws. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, laws and regulations relating to environmental, health and safety matters are often subject to change. In the event of any changes or new laws or regulations, we could be subject to new compliance measures or to penalties for activities which were previously permitted.

41

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

We are not party to any material legal or administrative proceedings, and we are not aware of any threatened material legal or administrative proceedings against us.

C. Organizational Structure

We have a total of five subsidiaries and their corporate details and business activities are listed below:

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

Our principal corporate offices are located at 28159 Avenue Stanford, Suite 220, Valencia, California 91355. We lease the 17,481 facility under two lease agreements that, as amended, expire on January 31, 2021 with the right to extend the leases, at our sole option, for an additional three-years. Our production plant in Ventura, California, is a 23,040 square foot facility that we lease through September 30, 2021 with the right to extend the lease, at our sole option, as a result of three, three-year, options that allow us to extend the lease up to an additional nine years in total.

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis include certain forward-looking statements with respect to the business, financial condition and results of operations of our company. The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward- looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including those risk factors contained in Item 3.D. of this Registration Statement. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Registration Statement.

Background

Avita Medical Limited and our subsidiaries Avita Medical Americas, LLC, Avita Medical Europe Limited, Visiomed Group Pty Ltd, C3 Operations Pty Ltd and Infamed Pty Ltd, which we collectively refer to as the “Company,” is a regenerative medicine company with a technology platform designed to address unmet medical needs in patients with burns, chronic wounds, and aesthetics indications. Our patented and proprietary collection and application technology provides innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative properties of a patient’s own skin. Our lead product, the RECELL® System, uses a small amount of a patient’s own skin to prepare Spray-On Skin Cells at the point of care in as little as 30 minutes. This autologous suspension of skin cells is then sprayed onto the areas of the patient requiring treatment. The RECELL System, was approved for

42

sale in the U.S. for the treatment of acute thermal burns in patients 18 years and older by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2018. We initiated our U.S. national market launch of the RECELL System in January 2019, although it did commence commercial shipments in the U.S. during the half-year ended December 31, 2018 in response to pre-launch demand from burn centers. During the year ended June 30, 2018 and the half-year ended December 31, 2018, the RECELL System was also sold on a limited basis in certain regions of the world in which the products were approved for sale, including Australia, China and Europe.

We believe that there are many factors and trends that may effect our financial condition and results of operations. Primarily and foremost, our revenue growth will be impacted most by market acceptance, adoption and penetration of our RECELL System. In addition, the Company is always pursuing expansion of labeling additional indications that could open new markets such as the treatment of leg and foot ulcers, vitiligo, chronic wounds and trauma injuries.

In this Registration Statement, all references to “U.S. dollars” or “US$” are to the currency of the U.S., and all references to “Australian dollars”, “A$” or “AUD$” are to the currency of Australia.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements appearing in this registration statement on Form 20-F are prepared in Australia dollars in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. Our consolidated financial statements appearing in this registration statement on Form 20-F comply with IFRS. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that management believes are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies listed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements that our management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations under IFRS are discussed below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sales of goods is recognized at a point in time when the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods to its customers. The Company recognizes contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of financial position. Similarly, if the Company satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Company recognizes either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

BARDA Income

The Company had been granted a BARDA contract in September 2015, wherein BARDA funded the Company to support the ongoing U.S. clinical regulatory program towards FDA Premarket Approval and

43

Compassionate Use program, and clinical and health economics research in U S. pediatric burn care. BARDA income is recognized in the income statement when it is probable that the Company will receive the economic benefits of the contract and the amount can be reliably measured. The BARDA contract allows the Company to be reimbursed for costs incurred to fund the programs outlined above. The BARDA funds received are recognized in the period that the costs are incurred by the project.

Interest Income

Revenue is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest method.

Share-based payments

The Company provides benefits to our employees (including executive management) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The Company has in place two employee share option plans which provide benefits to employees and are eligible to provide benefits to directors. The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuation firm using a binomial model. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to profit or loss is the product of:

The charge to profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.

The expense recognized by Avita Medical Limited for equity-settled awards only represents the expense associated with grants to employees of Avita Medical Limited, whereas the expense recognized by the Company is the total expense associated with all such awards.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

44

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options, is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Research and Development Payments

Expenditures during the research phase of a project are recognized as expenses when incurred. Development costs are capitalized only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Capitalized development costs have a finite useful life and amortized on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

Research and Development Tax Incentive

The Company’s research and development activities are eligible under an Australian Government tax incentive for eligible expenditure from 1 July 2012. Management has assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. For the years ended June 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded other income of A$1,385,796, A$1,048,237 and A$971,881, respectively related to recognition of this tax incentive. The Australian R&D tax incentive scheme permits overseas activity to be claimed to the extent that the overseas activity does not exceed 50% of the total costs of activities for an eligible project. As of December 31, 2018, the Company evaluated the level overseas activity and concluded there was uncertainty as to the ability to meet this criteria. Additionally, at that time, the Federal Budget included a number of changes to the R&D tax incentive scheme which would place further limits on claimable amounts. These budget changes have since been formally placed on hold. In consideration of these uncertainties, no amounts were accrued for as at December 31, 2018.

Internal Controls

A material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the application of tax legislation across jurisdictions, specifically our controls over tracking and monitoring the disclosures related to accumulated tax losses by jurisdiction.

We are taking steps to remediate this deficiency. We intend to implement a more rigorous process to track and monitor our accumulated tax losses and we have hired an external income tax specialist to review our application of tax legislation across jurisdictions. We believe that the above actions will be effective in remediating the material weakness described above. However, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that our internal controls are operating effectively.

Any future failure to maintain such internal controls could adversely impact our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis, which could result in our inability to satisfy our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations or may lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business or have a negative effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares and ADRs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended June 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016 and the half-year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this registration statement in accordance with “Item 8. Financial Information”. In addition, Exhibit 15.1 included with this registration

45

statement on Form 20-F contains the preliminary, unaudited consolidated statements of profits or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 as submitted as Appendix 4E in connection with the ongoing listing of our ordinary shares on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Year Ended June 30, 2018 compared to Year Ended June 30, 2017

Sale of goods of the RECELL devices totaled A$1,198,861 for the year ended June 30, 2018, an increase of A$297,485 or 33% over the A$901,376 recognized during fiscal 2017. The largest increase in sale of goods occurred in Asia Pacific which accounted for 59% of total commercial sales, while the sale of goods in EMEA comprised the remaining 41% of total commercial sales. Gross margins for the years ended June 30, 2018 was 57% compared to 49% for the same period in 2017, and we expect gross margins to further increase as sales ramp up within the U.S.

We believe that there are many factors and trends that may effect our financial condition and results of operations. Primarily and foremost, our revenue growth will be impacted most by market acceptance, adoption and penetration of our RECELL System. Pricing is not expected to be a significant factor in connection with our revenue growth. In addition, the Company is always pursuing expansion of labeling additional indications that could open new markets such as the treatment of leg and foot ulcers, vitiligo, chronic wounds and trauma injuries. With regard to the foregoing factors and additional indications, we believe that over the next several years, the most critical component of our changes of sales of goods will be market acceptance and adoption of the RECELL System for burns, followed by approval, market acceptance, adoption of the additional, and potentially other, indications noted above. We do not consider pricing to be a critical component of revenue growth, instead, as indicated above, market acceptance, adoption and penetration of the RECELL System would have a material effect on our sales of goods.

Other income totaled A$10,172,698 for the year ended June 30, 2018, an increase of A$2,941,728 or 41% over the A$7,230,970 recognized during fiscal 2017. The majority of other income consisted of funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Under the BARDA contract, income of A$10,104,081 was recognized during the year ended June 30, 2018 compared to income of A$6,886,236 for fiscal 2017. This increase was the result of an expansion of activities related to programs conducted under the BARDA contract during the year. Funding provided by BARDA during the year ended June 30, 2018 focused primarily on support of the U.S. PMA application for the RECELL System, the Continued Access and Compassionate Use programs which provide access to the RECELL System for U.S. patients while the PMA is under review, and development of a health economic model by a major health care information and technology provider to quantify the economic value of the RECELL System versus standard of care for the treatment of severe burns.

As the result of investments in commercial, manufacturing, leadership and system capabilities in preparation for the planned U.S. launch of the RECELL System and related research and development and corporate initiatives including the BARDA programs, operating expenses increased during the year ended June 30, 2018. Sales and marketing expenses totaled A$8,936,441, an increase of A$3,734,680 or 72% over the A$5,201,761 recognized during fiscal 2017. Product development expenses totaled A$12,606,127 an increase of A$1,444,157 or 13% over the A$11,161,970 recognized during fiscal 2017. Corporate and administrative expenses totaled A$5,360,553 for the year ended June 30, 2018, an increase of A$3,095,959 or 137% over the A$2,264,594 recognized during fiscal 2017. Total operating costs totaled A$28,764,864, an increase of A$8,536,542 or 42% over the A$20,228,322 recognized during fiscal 2017 and were in line with management expectations.

We recorded a foreign exchange gain of A$563,279 for the year ended June 30, 2018, compared to a foreign exchange loss of A$83,293 for the year ended June 30, 2017. Foreign exchange gain (loss) reflects the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents that we hold in U.S. dollars, and to a

46

smaller extent in British Pounds and Euros. In 2018, the Australian dollar depreciated against the U.S. dollar, which had a favorable impact on the Australian dollar value due to the fact that the majority of our cash and cash equivalents were held in U.S. dollars. In 2017, the Australian dollar depreciated against the U.S. dollar, which had an unfavorable impact on the Australian dollar value due to the fact that the majority of our cash and cash equivalents were held in Australian dollars.

The net comprehensive loss after tax benefit for the year ended June 30, 2018 was A$15,955,876, an increase of A$4,096,298 or 35% over A$11,859,578 recognized during fiscal 2017. The increase in net comprehensive loss was driven by the higher operating costs described above, partially offset by the higher sale of goods and BARDA income recognized during the year ended June 30, 2018. As the Company continues its preparations for the planned launch of the RECELL System in the U.S., operating expenses are expected to rise in future periods and will be offset in part by revenues under the BARDA contract as well as from sale of goods.

Year Ended June 30, 2017 compared to Year Ended June 30, 2016

Sale of goods of the RECELL devices totaled A$901,376 for the year ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of A$101,631 or 10% over the A$1,002,007 recognized during fiscal 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in EMEA operating segment promotional efforts and product sales during fiscal 2017. Gross margins for the year ended June 30, 2017 was 49% compared to 60% for the same period in 2016 primarily due to part of lower sales volumes in EMEA operating segment by 21%.

Other income was A$7,230,970 for the year ended June 30, 2017, an increase of 184% compared to A$2,544,517 recognized during fiscal 2016, as BARDA income of A$6,886,236 was received during the year as compared to the previous year’s BARDA income of A$2,424,357 which began in the third quarter of last year. The increase of BARDA income was due to the significant expansion of activities surrounding the Company’s Premarket Approval Application (PMA) submission to the FDA in September 2017 for approval to market the RECELL System in the U.S.

As the result of investments in clinical trials and preparation for and support of the PMA for the RECELL System, and related research and development and corporate initiatives including the BARDA programs, operating expenses increased during the year ended June 30, 2017. Product development expenses totaled A$11,161,970 an increase of A$5,143,786 or 86% over the A$6,018,184 recognized during fiscal 2016. Sales and marketing expenses were consistent year over year and totaled A$5,201,761, an increase of A$159,572 or 3% over the A$5,042,189 recognized during fiscal 2017. Corporate and administrative expenses were consistent and totaled A$2,264,594 for the year ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of A$107,153 or 5% over the A$2,371,747 recognized during fiscal 2016. In addition, share-based expense for the year ended June 30, 2017 included share-based expenses related to the resignation of the former CEO in May 2017 totaling A$1,189,021. This expense results from an acceleration of the recognition of non-cash expenses attributable to the initial valuation of the shares awarded under the CEO long-term, incentive agreement. Total operating costs totaled A$20,228,322, an increase of A$5,839,523 or 41% over the A$14,388,799 recognized during fiscal 2016 which were driven by the expanded operating activities noted above.

The net comprehensive loss after tax was A$11,859,578 an increase of A$4,177,724 or 54% over A$7,681,854 recognized during fiscal 2016. The increase in net loss was driven by higher operating costs described above, partially offset by higher revenue from BARDA. In addition, the prior year net comprehensive loss was reduced by a profit from discontinued operations (divestment of the respiratory business segment) of A$2,493,947.

Year Ended June 30, 2016 compared to Year Ended June 30, 2015

Sale of goods of the RECELL devices totaled A$1,002,007 for the year ended June 30, 2016, an increase of A$16,360 or 2% over the A$985,647 recognized during fiscal 2015. Gross margins for the year ended June 30,

47

2016 was 60% compared to 71% for the same period in 2015. During this period the Company moved from a direct sale to a distributor sale model in most markets. While this did support the modest revenue growth over the previous fiscal year, there was a concurrent reduction in margin.

Other income was A$2,544,517 for the year ended June 30, 2016, an increase of 1,011% compared to A$228,988 recognized during fiscal 2015, as BARDA income of A$2,424,357 was received and began in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 for the expansion of activities surrounding the Company’s PMA submission to the FDA in September 2017 for approval to market the RECELL System in the U.S.

As the result of investments in conduct of clinical trials and preparation for and support of the PMA for the RECELL System, and related research and development and corporate initiatives including the BARDA programs, operating expenses increased during the year ended June 30, 2016. Product development expenses totaled A$6,018,184 an increase of A$1,748,729 or 41% over the A$4,269,455 recognized during fiscal 2015. Sales and marketing expenses totaled A$5,042,189, an increase of A$349,555 or 7% over the A$4,692,634 recognized during fiscal 2015. Corporate and administrative expenses totaled A$2,371,747 for the year ended June 30, 2016, an increase of A$1,901,632 or 405% over the A$470,115 recognized during fiscal 2015. In addition, share-based expenses of A$956,658 for the year ended June 30, 2016 included a non-cash amount of A$902,959 which recognizes the appropriate valuation of the issuance of 40 million fully paid shares under the CEO Long Term Incentive Plan, announced on January 25, 2016, and which is subject to escrow and vesting conditions. The full valuation of the 40 million shares will be allocated over a five-year period as a non-cash expense. Total operating costs totaled A$14,388,799, an increase of A$4,943,244 or 52% over the A$9,445,555 recognized during fiscal 2015 which were driven by the expanded operating activities noted above.

The net comprehensive loss after tax was A$7,681,854 an increase of A$756,375 or 11% over A$6,925,479 recognized during fiscal 2015. The increase in net loss was driven by higher operating costs described above, partially offset by higher revenue from BARDA. In addition, the fiscal 2016 net comprehensive loss was reduced by a profit from discontinued operations (divestment of the respiratory business segment) of A$2,493,947 and a fair value gain on available for sale of financial assets of A$265,261.

Half-Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Half-Year Ended December 31, 2017

Sale of goods of the RECELL devices totaled A$1,813,195 for the half-year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of A$1,205,434 or 198% over the A$607,761 recognized during the same period in 2017. The majority of the current-year increase in sales occurred in the U.S. as a result of the September 2018 FDA approval. U.S. sales during the half-year ended December 31, 2018 totaled A$1,101,991 compared to zero in the prior year. Gross margin for the half-year ended December 31, 2018 was 69% compared to 56% for the same period in 2017, and management expects gross margins to further increase as sales ramp up within the U.S.

Other income totaled $5,112,763 for the half-year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of A$1,218,452 or 31% over the A$3,894,311 recognized during same period in 2017. As in prior periods, the majority of other income consisted of funding from BARDA. Under the BARDA contract, income of A$5,009,137 was recognized during the half-year ended December 31, 2018 compared to income of A$3,856,716 during the same period in 2017. This increase was the result of an expansion of activities related to programs conducted under the BARDA contract during the year. Funding provided by BARDA during the half-year ended December 31, 2018 focused primarily on support of the regulatory activities to support the U.S. approval of the RECELL System, the Continued Access and Compassionate Use programs which provide access to the RECELL System for U.S. patients prior to FDA approval, and two U.S. clinical trials in pediatric burn patients.

Operations for the half-year ended December 31, 2018 were focused primarily on preparation for the January 2019 U.S. market launch of the RECELL System, including the recruitment, hiring and training of 20 sales field force personnel. Additional activities included the commencement of product shipments in the U.S. after the September 2018 FDA approval of the RECELL System for the treatment of acute thermal burns, and the

48

preparation for, or the conduct of, further development of RECELL. As the result of investments in commercial, manufacturing, and system capabilities for the U.S. market launch of the RECELL System and related initiatives, operating costs for the half-year ended December 31, 2018 totaled A$21,935,034, a A$10,447,198 or 91% increase over the A$11,487,836 incurred during the same period in the prior year and were in line with management expectations. Sales and marketing expenses for the half-year ended December 31, 2018 totaled A$6,931,241, an increase of A$4,115,543 or 146% over the A$2,815,698 recognized during for first six months of fiscal 2017. Product development expenses for the 2018 half-year totaled $7,080,042 an increase of A$2,021,524 or 40% over the A$5,058,518 recognized during the first half of fiscal 2017. Corporate and administrative expenses totaled A$6,865,250 for the six months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of A$3,991,739 or 139% over the A$2,873,511 recognized during the first six months of fiscal 2017.

Net comprehensive loss after tax for the half-year ended December 31, 2018 was A$14,205,247, a A$6,899,260 or 94% increase compared to A$7,305,987 incurred in the same period in the prior half-year. The increase in net loss was driven by the higher operating costs described above, partially offset by the higher sale of goods and other revenue achieved during the six months. As a result of the national launch of the RECELL System in the U.S. in January 2019, and the expansion of research and development, operating expenses will increase in future periods. These expenses are expected to be partially offset by increased sales of goods and revenues under the BARDA contract.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to utilize cash reserves until U.S. and international sales of our products reach a level sufficient to fund ongoing operations. The Company has historically funded its research and development activities, and more recently its substantial investment in sales and marketing activities, through raising capital by issuing securities in the Company, and it is expected that similar funding will be obtained to provide working capital if and when required. If the Company is unable to raise capital in the future, the Company may need to curtail expenditures by scaling back certain research and development or other programs.

During the year ended June 30, 2018 and subsequent to year end, the Company completed a series of equity transactions totaling gross proceeds of A$74,775,545 which were used to fund operations. Of the total gross proceeds, A$29,760,645 was received from transactions completed during the year ended June 30, 2018, and A$45,014,900 was received from transactions completed subsequent to June 30, 2018.

On October 11, 2017, the Company completed a placement of 100,982,978 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of A$0.045 per share raising gross proceeds of A$4,544,234. On November 7, 2017, the Company completed a rights offering of 276,502,853 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of A$0.045 per share raising gross proceeds of A$12,442,628. On 6 June 2018, the Company completed the first tranche of an institutional placement in which it issued 255,475,665 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of A$0.050 per share raising gross proceeds of A$12,773,783. The institutional placement included a second tranche totaling A$3.250 million of gross proceeds, contingent upon shareholder approval. Shareholder approval for Tranche 2 was received at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 23, 2018, and the Company issued 65 million shares at a price of A$0.050 per share and received gross proceeds of A$3,250,000 on July 26, 2018. Also subsequent to year end, on December 4, 2018, the Company completed the first tranche of an institutional placement in which it issued 310,047,015 fully paid ordinary shares at a price of A$0.080 per share raising gross proceeds of A$24,803,761. The institutional placement included a second tranche totaling A$15.196 million of gross proceeds, contingent upon shareholder approval. Shareholder approval for Tranche 2 was received at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 14, 2019, and the Company issued 189,952,985 shares at a price of A$0.080 per share and received gross proceeds of A$15,196,239 on January 14, 2019. In addition, on January 11, 2019 the Company completed a Share Purchase Plan under which it issued 22,061,250 shares of stock at a price of A$0.080 per share and received gross proceeds of A$1,764,900.

The Company benefits from cash inflows from the BARDA contract, awarded to the Company in September 2015 and subsequently expanded through a series of modifications. These payments from BARDA offset costs

49

from various activities undertaken to support the FDA regulatory approval process for RECELL in the U.S., preparation for the planned commercial launch of RECELL in the U.S., and RECELL clinical programs in the U.S. Further, there were no material expenditure commitments from the BARDA contract. With the U.S. FDA approval of RECELL for the treatment of burns in September 2019, and the U.S. market launch of the product in January 2019, sales of goods are expected to be an increasing source of revenue in the future. Another anticipated source of revenue for the Company is the BARDA contract covering the initial purchase, delivery and storage of RECELL devices in the amount of US$7,594,620 (approximately A$10.3 million).

The Company’s research and development activities are eligible under an Australian Government tax incentive for eligible expenditure from July 1, 2012. Our management has assessed these activities and expenditure and to determine our likely eligibility under this incentive scheme. For the half year ended December 31, 2018 and the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company received A$2,440,803, A$972,283 and A$654,060 respectively related to this tax incentive.

The Australian R&D tax incentive scheme permits overseas activity to be claimed to the extent that the overseas activity does not exceed 50% of the total costs of activities for an eligible project. As of December 31, 2018, the Company evaluated the level overseas activity and concluded there was uncertainty as to the ability to meet this criteria. Additionally, at that time, the Federal Budget included a number of changes to the R&D tax incentive scheme which would place further limits on claimable amounts. These budget changes have since been formally placed on hold. In consideration of these uncertainties, no amounts were accrued for as at December 31, 2018. The Company does not believe any reduction over time of these potential payments to have a material effect on its liquidity or capital resources.

As a result, we believe there is sufficient working capital to support the committed research and development programs and other activities over the next 12 months and the Company has the ability to realize its assets and pay its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Years Ended June 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016

Net cash used in operating activities was A$16,372,024, A$8,557,524 and A$7,938,557 during the years ended June 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

These collaborative arrangements ensure that we work with well-respected key option leaders and laboratories without incurring ongoing administrative and personnel costs. All clinical, research and development of RECELL System is performed in compliance with the appropriate governing authorities, regulators and standards. We maintain in-house general counsel and research and development project expertise to coordinate these research collaborations.

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses for contracted research and development activities conducted by major contract research organizations on our behalf, including personnel, testing facilities and other payments in accordance with our research and clinical agreements.

B. Compensation

Remuneration Principles

This Remuneration Report outlines the Director and Executive remuneration arrangements of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Company are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether Executive or otherwise) of the parent Company. For the purposes of this report, the term ‘executive’ encompasses the Chief Executive and Senior Executives of the Company.

During the year ended June 30, 2018 we appointed Erin Liberto as our Chief Commercial Officer effective August 28, 2017 and Donna Shiroma as General Counsel effective June 25, 2018. We also appointed Dale Sander as Chief Financial Officer effective December 5, 2017, and he served in that position until his resignation on May 15, 2019. On December 5, 2017 the Company also appointed of Timothy Rooney as Chief Administrative Officer, and effective May 15, 2019 Mr. Rooney was also appointed as our interim Chief Financial Officer.

Effective April 1, 2019 Andrew Quick was promoted from Senior Vice President Clinical Development to Chief Technology Officer. There were no other changes of Key Management Personnel after the reporting date and through the date of this registration statement on Form 20-F.

In prior years we identified a number of key areas for additional emphasis which has resulted in a review of remuneration practices, policies and plans associated with key management personnel remuneration. To develop an appropriate foundation for future practices the Remuneration Committee has a formal Remuneration Governance Framework which, at the core, consists of:

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for the Board and Executives.

The Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Executives on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team.

Use of Remuneration Consultants

The Company did not make use of any external remuneration consultants during the financial year, although it did obtain from third parties industry benchmarking information.

56

Remuneration Framework, Philosophy and Policies

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:

The main focus of executives and of performance assessment for Fiscal 2018 was related to the U.S. PMA application for the RECELL System, related activities required to support FDA approval, and preparation for the planned market launch of the RECELL System in the U.S. For the current year, the primary focus is on the successful market launch of the RECELL System in the U.S., advancement of the Company’s pipeline and successful completion of the listing of our ADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market (US Quotation). Incentives are intended to be linked to shareholder value via milestone completion, clinical trial outcomes and total shareholder return.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Objective: The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest caliber, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Policy: The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the fee structure is to be commercially acceptable, competitive and subject to an annual review. The Board considers industry benchmarking data regarding the fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Structure: In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director and Senior Management remuneration is separate and distinct. The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on November 29, 2005 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $450,000 per year in respect of fees payable to Non-Executive Directors. Please refer to Table 2 of this report for the allocation of Directors’ fees.

Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company and includes attendance and participation at Board and committee meetings. The Non-Executive Directors do not participate in any incentive programs.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended June 30, 2018 is detailed in Table 2 of this report.

Executive Remuneration (including Executive Directors)

Objective: The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to:

57

Policy: The Company’s broad framework for the Remuneration Committee requires the committee to ensure that:

To the extent that the Company adopts a different remuneration structure for its Non-Executive Directors, the Committee shall document its reasons for the purpose of disclosure to stakeholders.

Structure: The Remuneration Committee determines the level and make-up of the Chief Executive remuneration. The Committee takes advice from the Chief Executive with input from industry benchmarking data to set and approve all other executive remuneration. To assist in achieving the Company’s objectives, the Remuneration Committee links the nature and number of officers’ emoluments to the Company’s performance. Remuneration may consist of the following key elements:

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (potential short term and long-term incentives) is established for each Executive by the Remuneration Committee annually. Table 2 details the fixed and variable components for the Executives of the Company.

Fixed Remuneration Objective and Structure: The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. During the 2018, 2017 and 2016 financial years there were no benefits paid in kind. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and the process consists of a review of Company-wide and individual performance and relevant comparative remuneration in the market.

Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (STI) Objective and Structure: The objective of variable remuneration is to link the achievement of the Company’s operational targets with the remuneration received by the Executives charged with meeting those targets. The Company’s STI objectives:

58

Variable remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and the process consists of a review of Company-wide and individual performance and relevant comparative remuneration in the market.

Variable Remuneration – Long Term Incentive (LTI) Objective and Structure: The objective of the LTI plan is to reward Executives in a manner that aligns remuneration with the creation of shareholder value and to create an element of remuneration that supports the executive team working together to achieve this outcome over the long term. The LTI plan is also a key component of the Company’s retention strategy. The Company has two LTI plans available for use with senior executives and staff. At the 2014 AGM, shareholders approved a Performance Rights Plan. At the General Meeting of shareholders on August 24, 2015, shareholders approved a share loan plan for senior executives. Currently no loans are outstanding under the share loan plan.

LTI for 2018 financial year

In addition to the before mentioned CEO Long Term Incentive Plan (Operating and Financial Review), 9,110,000 share options were granted during FY18. The Company has two separate LTI plans that it can use as part of incentivizing senior executives and staff for achieving targeted Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) including financial and non-financial targets, corporate metrics and individual measures of performance.
