AVITA MEDICAL LIMITED
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN and CEO
Dear Shareholders:
It is our privilege to write to you after a truly transformative year at AVITA Medical. As you likely recall, we were granted approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the preliminary RECELL® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (RECELL System) for the treatment of acute thermal burns in adults in September 2018. Building upon that success, in January of this year, we formally launched our U.S. sales field force, and began selling RECELL to burn centres in the U.S. This has been met by much enthusiasm from doctors, and we are very proud of the team in bringing this innovative technology to burn patients.
Our ongoing successes are the result of the dedicated efforts and investments made over multiple years by our employees, medical professionals, patients and shareholders. While our excellent regulatory team guided us to premarket approval in September 2018, the financial year 2019 was also a busy time for our commercial team. With our direct sales force of 21 representatives now deployed across the U.S., at our most recent update, we reported that we have sold product into 41 of the 134 U.S. burn centres to date, and 136 of 300 burn surgeons at 59 U.S. burn centres have been trained and have performed a RECELL procedure. Note that U.S. burn centres follow a fairly standard process of evaluating the device and thereafter taking it through their hospitals Value Analysis Committee (VAC) before they are able to purchase the product. These evaluations and VAC approvals usually take 6 or more months to complete, so we are extremely proud of our teams efforts in rapidly onboarding centres, as well as with the demand and interest for the product that we are seeing from surgeons.
We had another strong showing this year at the leading U.S. burn conference, the 51st annual meeting of the American Burn Association (ABA), and we were able to report the positive results obtained in patient treatment using the RECELL System in a broad range of patient populations and burn types. This year we had 10 presentations highlighting successful outcomes and our presentation reporting on use in paediatric patients was selected, out of over 500 submissions, as one of the Best of the Best Abstracts at the meeting. Additionally, our 2018 publication in the Journal of Burn Care & Research of the RECELL System pivotal trial in second-degree burns was recognized during the The Year in Review: The Top Journal Publications session of the ABA meeting. While those two examples certainly underscore our overall success in the field, during the financial year 2019 we delivered over 50 RECELL presentations at over 15 conferences and medical meetings.
With our success in adult burns having been demonstrated, we are now working to expand our RECELL FDA label to include paediatric burns and scalds, as well as trauma indications. Paediatric burns is a large market and one that unfortunately touches many patients and families. FDA has approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for our U.S. Soft-Tissue Repair Clinical Study, which we have confidence will provide robust pivotal data in support of a trauma indication.
Our R&D efforts continue to progress, and we have also spent this last year building our pipeline of future opportunities. In addition to paediatric burns and trauma wounds, weve also made strides in the clinic with our vitiligo treatment, which presents a relatively untapped market for us to pursue. In June 2019, RECELL System data were presented at the 24th annual World Congress of Dermatology Meeting June 10-15, 2019, in Milan, Italy. Three posters at the World Congress of Dermatology highlighted the potential use of the RECELL System for the treatment of vitiligo and facial acne scars. In the financial year 2021, AVITA expects to commence a pivotal/registration study of the RECELL System for the treatment of patients with vitiligo and anticipates, in collaboration with COSMOTEC, an M3 Group company, securing market approval and reimbursement of the RECELL System in Japan.
Outside of the U.S., we continue to supply and support our existing users while maintaining our plan to devote limited commercial resources to the select geographical regions in which the RECELL System is already approved for sale. We continue to supply and support our existing users. We will continue to make investments where it makes sense, such as in our announced collaboration agreement with COSMOTEC for Japan. Our expectation is that in the near term, we will devote most of our commercial efforts and resources to ensuring a successful and growing U.S. presence, the largest market for the treatment of burns. As we achieve successes in securing new indications via our advancements efforts, especially in vitiligo, our commercial plan will likely broaden geographically.
On September 19, 2019 we filed a registration statement on Form 20-F under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the registration in the United States of our class of American Depositary Shares representing ordinary shares of the Company. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on September 27, 2019, and the Company has commenced trading of our American Depositary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market on October 1, 2019. We view the Nasdaq listing as a natural extension of our growth plan and an exciting next step for AVITA Medical. Our transition to a senior U.S. exchange provides broader access to investors in the United States and worldwide, building on our established ASX shareholder base.
4
Overall, its a time of much growth at AVITA and we continue to be immensely excited about the opportunities available to us to make a material difference in the lives of patients. Our Board of Directors is committed to working alongside management to achieve these results and to consistently deliver value for our shareholders. We truly appreciate the ongoing support of all our shareholders, employees, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), medical professionals and patients, and we look forward to updating you on our future successes.

AVITA MEDICAL LIMITED
DIRECTORS REPORT (continued)
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Company Overview
Avita Medical Limited and its subsidiaries 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. The Companys patented and proprietary platform technology provides innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative properties of a patients own skin. The medical devices work by preparing Spray-On Skin Cells, an autologous cellular suspension comprised of the patients skin cells necessary to regenerate natural healthy epidermis. This autologous suspension is sprayed onto the areas of the patient requiring treatment.
The Companys 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 patients 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 centres 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.
Operating Results for the Year
Sale of goods of the RECELL System totalled A$7,705,398 for the year ended 30 June 2019, an increase of A$6,506,537 or 543% over the A$1,198,861 recognised during fiscal 2018. Most of the current fiscal year increase in sales occurred in the U.S. as a result of the September 2018 FDA approval and commencement of the U.S. national market launch of the RECELL System in January 2019. U.S. sales during the fiscal year ended 30 June 2019 totalled A$6,214,660 compared to zero in the prior fiscal year. Gross margin for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2019 was 78% compared to 57% for the same period in 2018, and management expects gross margins to further increase as sales ramp up within the U.S.
Other income totalled A$8,715,847 for the year ended 30 June 2019, a decrease of A$1,456,851 or 14% over the A$10,172,698 recognised during fiscal 2018. As in prior periods, most of the 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 ongoing USG Contract No. HHSO100201500028C. Under the BARDA contract, income of A$8,259,152 was recognised during the year ended 30 June 2019 compared to income of A$10,104,081 for fiscal 2018. The decrease was the result of wind-down of certain activities associated with supporting the U.S. FDA approval of the RECELL System as well as the compassionate use and continued access programs.
Operations for the first half of the fiscal year ended 30 June 2019 were focused primarily on preparation for the January 2019 U.S. market launch of the RECELL System. Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended 30 June 2019 totalled A$17,576,754, an increase of A$8,640,313 or 97% over the A$8,936,441 recognised during fiscal 2018. This increase was primarily attributed to the recruitment, hiring and training of a U.S. sales force and the associated product launch sales and marketing materials and activities. Product development expenses for fiscal 2019 totalled A$14,361,995 an increase of A$1,755,868 or 14% over the A$12,606,127 recognised during fiscal 2018. Corporate and administrative expenses totalled A$15,398,177 for the year ended 30 June 2019, an increase of A$10,037,624 or 187% over the A$5,360,553 recognised during fiscal 2018. 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 year ended 30 June 2019 totalled A$50,063,512, a A$21,298,648 or 74% increase over the A$28,764,864 incurred during fiscal 2018 and were in line with management expectations.
Net comprehensive loss after tax for the fiscal year ended 30 June 2019 was A$33,377,005, an increase of A$17,421,129 or 109% over A$15,955,876 recognised during fiscal 2018. The increase in net comprehensive loss was driven by the higher operating costs described above, partially offset by the higher sale of goods during the fiscal year. As a result of the U.S. national launch of the RECELL System 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 commercial sales of goods as well as income under the BARDA contract.

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
In prior years we identified several key areas for additional emphasis which has resulted in a review of remuneration practices, policies and plans associated with KMP remuneration. To develop an appropriate foundation for future practices the Remuneration Committee has a formal Remuneration Governance Framework which, at the core, consists of:
| A revised Remuneration & Nomination Committee Charter which now mandates the development and maintenance of other Remuneration Governance Framework elements; |
| A Senior Executive Remuneration Policy; |
| A Short-Term Incentive (STI) Policy & Procedure document; and |
| A Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Policy & Procedure document. |
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.
Voting and comments made at the companys 2018 Annual General Meeting (AGM)
At the 2018 AGM, 93.69% of the votes received supported the adoption of remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2018. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.
Company Performance and Links between Performance and Reward
The following table outlines those measures of performance which are required to be displayed to shareholders under the Corporations Act. However, at this stage in the Companys evolution, the Board does not believe this perspective is particularly useful to shareholders. Therefore, a discussion of Company performance during fiscal year 2019 follows and should be considered in conjunction with the Operating and Financial review outlined on Page 6 of this report:

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
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:
| Provide competitive rewards to attract and retain high calibre Executives; |
| Acceptability to shareholders through transparency and engagement, and ensuring that remuneration frameworks and practices are appropriate to the circumstances of the Company as it evolves; |
| Performance linkage to and alignment with Executive compensation; and |
| Establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles as a prerequisite to payment of variable Executive remuneration. |
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 2019, the primary focus will be the continued adoption of the RECELL System in the U.S. and advancement of the Companys pipeline. Incentives are intended to be linked to shareholder value via product adoption, market penetration, and total shareholder return (TSR).
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 calibre, 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 advice from external consultants as well as 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 29 November 2005 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of A$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 30 June 2019 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 to:
| Reward Executives for Company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks as well as to specific short- and long-term goals of the Company; |
| Align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders; and |
| Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. |

AVITA MEDICAL LIMITED
DIRECTORS REPORT (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
Policy
As disclosed in our Remuneration Committee Charter available on our website, the companys broad framework is noted below:
The Committee is to ensure that:
| Executive remuneration packages may involve a balance between fixed and incentive pay, reflecting short and/or long-term performance objectives appropriate to the Companys circumstances and objectives; |
| A proportion of executives remuneration is structured in a manner designed to link reward to corporate and individual performances; and |
| Recommendations are made to the Board with respect to the quantum of bonuses to be paid to executives. |
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 and when necessary receives input from independent market remuneration advisers to set and approve all other executive remuneration. To assist in achieving the Companys objectives, the Remuneration Committee links the nature and number of officers emoluments to the Companys performance.
Remuneration may consist of the following key elements:
| Fixed Remuneration |
| Variable Remuneration |
| Short-Term Incentive (STI) and/or |
| Long-Term Incentive (LTI) |
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
The level of fixed remuneration is set to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.
Structure
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.

AVITA MEDICAL LIMITED
DIRECTORS REPORT (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
Variable Remuneration Short-Term Incentive (STI)
Objective
The objective of variable remuneration is to link the achievement of the Companys operational targets with the remuneration received by the Executives charged with meeting those targets. The Companys operational targets are set by the remuneration committee and the targets are based upon financial and non-financial measures. In the current financial year STI objectives consisted mainly of non-financial measures, primarily based around FDA approval and company readiness of commercialization. The target range is between 25-75% of base salary for the key management personnel. The Companys STI objectives are designed to:
| Motivate Senior Executives to achieve the short-term annual objectives linked to Company success and shareholder value creation; |
| Create a strong link between performance and reward; |
| Share company success with the Senior Executives that contribute to it; and |
| Create a component of the employment cost that is responsive to short to medium term changes in the circumstances of the Company. |
All key objectives were assessed by the remuneration committee as being fully met. All key management personnel achieved 100% of the maximum bonus available to them under the STI plan and were paid in the current year.
Structure
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
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 Companys retention strategy.
Structure
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. At the 2014 AGM, shareholders approved a Performance Rights Plan. At the General Meeting of shareholders on 24 August 2015, shareholders approved a share option plan for senior executives.
LTI for 2019 financial year
In addition to the aforementioned CEO Long Term Incentive Plan (Table 2, Operating and Financial Review), 82,391,668 share options were granted during fiscal 2019.

Note | 1 | Profit share and bonuses are based upon the achievement of corporate goals, which are approved by the Board of Directors. | ||
Note | 2 | Non-salary cash-based incentives % is equal to profit share and bonuses divided by total compensation. Shares or units % is equal to shares or units divided by total compensation. | ||
Note | 3 | The percentage disclosed does not include the value of options expensed during the year or pension and superannuation benefits paid per the requirements of Corporations Act 2001. Thus, the sum of the percentages for compensation related to performance and compensation not related to performance disclosed for certain individuals may be less than 100%. Proportion of elements of remuneration not related to performance is equal to the sum of salary, fees and leave, non-monetary benefits, pension and superannuation and other compensation, divided by total compensation. As an example, for Dr. Michael Perry, this calculation would be as follows: (A$663,926+A$27,608+A$43,148) / A$2,384,877 = 31%. |
On the 30 November 2018, the shareholders of the Company approved, and Dr. Perry was issued 15,000,000 options to purchase ordinary shares at an exercise price of A$0.082 expiring on 30 November 2028 based on the following milestones:
1. | Tenure a total of 3,333,333 options issued but to vest over the two-year period commencing June 1,2019; |
2. | Company Share Price a total of 5,000,001 options issued but to vest in three equal tranches subject to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Company share price (as at close of trade on the ASX on relevant date) achieving multiples of 2x, 3x and 4x the Companys share price at the time of shareholder approval; and |
3. | Milestone performance a total of 2,500,000 options issued, but to vest upon the achievement of initial BARDA procurement under CLIN2 of the BARDA Contract. |
4. | Vested Due to Milestone Achievement A total of 4,166,666 options, fully vested due to prior achievement of a milestone related to FDA approval of RECELL for burns. |

Note | 1 | Profit share and bonuses are based upon the achievement of corporate goals, which are approved by the Board of Directors. | ||
Note | 2 | Non-salary cash-based incentives % is equal to profit share and bonuses divided by total compensation. Shares or units % is equal to shares or units divided by total compensation. | ||
Note | 3 | The percentage disclosed does not include the value of options expensed during the year or pension and superannuation benefits paid per the requirements of Corporations Act 2001. Thus, the sum of the percentages for compensation related to performance and compensation not related to performance disclosed for certain individuals may be less than 100%. Proportion of elements of remuneration not related to performance is equal to the sum of salary, fees and leave, non-monetary benefits, pension and superannuation and other compensation, divided by total compensation. As an example, for Dr. Michael Perry, this calculation would be as follows: (A$662,022+A$73,271+A$0) / A$1,764,038 = 42%. |
On the 30 November 2017, 50,000,000 Restrictive Stock Units, issued as part of an LTI, each equal to one ordinary share, were issued to Dr. Michael Perry based on the following milestones:
1. | Tenure a total of 16,666,666 LTIs issued but to vest over the three-year period commencing July 1,2017; |

3. | Milestone performance a total of 16,666,668 LTIs issued, but to vest in two equal tranches with one tranche to vest upon the achievement of the following milestones: |

AVITA MEDICAL LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONCISE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
Note 6. Corporate Governance
The Board is committed to achieving the highest standards of corporate governance. The Board reviews and improves its policies and procedures to ensure they are effective for the Company and fulfil the expectations of stakeholders.
The Companys Corporate Governance Statement has been approved by the Board and can be located on the Companys website at: www.avitamedical.com
Note 7. Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the Company has generated a loss for the period of A$35,160,227 (2018: A$16,519,155) and the Company has used cash in operations of A$27,485,659 (2018: A$16,372,024).
During the year ended 30 June 2019, the Company completed a series of equity transactions totalling gross proceeds of A$45,036,886 which were used to fund operations.
During the year ended 30 June 2019, the Company completed a series of equity transactions. 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 26 July 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 on 4 December 2018. The institutional placement included a second tranche in which it issued 189,952,985 shares at a price of A$0.080 per share and received gross proceeds of A$15,196,239. In addition, on 11 January 2019 the Company completed a Share Purchase Plan under which it issued 22,061,250 shares of stock at a price of $0.080 per share and received gross proceeds of A$1,764,900.
The Company benefits from cash inflows from the series of BARDA contracts, the first of which was awarded to the Company in September 2015. These payments from BARDA offset costs 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. With the U.S. FDA approval of RECELL® for the treatment of burns in September 2018, 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 line item covering the initial purchase, delivery and storage of the RECELL System in the amount of US$7,594,620 (~A$10m).
The Company expects to be utilizing cash reserves until U.S. and international sales of its products reach the level 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.
As a result of the above, the directors are satisfied that there is enough working capital to support the committed research and development programs and other activities over the next 12 months and the Company can realize its assets and pay its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the directors have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.
Note 8. Subsequent Events
On September 19, 2019 AVITA filed a registration statement on Form 20-F under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the proposed registration in the United States of its class of American Depositary Shares representing ordinary shares of the Company. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on September 27, 2019, and the Company anticipates that trading of its American Depositary Shares will commence on the Nasdaq Capital Market on or about October 1, 2019. This disclosure does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities of the Company.

We have audited the concise financial report of Avita Medical Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended and related notes, derived from the audited financial report of Avita Medical Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019.
In our opinion, the accompanying concise financial report of Avita Medical Limited complies with Accounting Standard AASB 1039 Concise Financial Reports.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Concise Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Boards APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the concise financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Concise Financial Report
The concise financial report does not contain all the disclosures required by the Australian Accounting Standards in the preparation of the financial report. Reading the concise financial report and the auditors report thereon, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the financial report and the auditors report thereon. The concise financial report and the financial report do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to the date of our report on the financial report.

The Financial Report and Our Report Thereon
We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the financial report in our report dated 30 September 2019. That report also includes the communication of other key audit matters. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period.
Key audit matter |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter | |
Going concern The Group generated a loss of $35,160,227 for the year ended 30 June 2019 and has used cash in operations of $27,485,659 for the year ended 30 June 2019.
The Directors have determined that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the financial report. Their assessment of going concern was based on cash flow projections.
These projections incorporated a number of assumptions and judgements regarding the extent of future research and development activities, continued expansion of sales capability and projected working capital requirements.
The Groups use of the going concern basis of accounting and the associated extent of uncertainty is a key audit matter due to the high level of judgment required in evaluating the Groups assessment of going concern. |
Our procedures included, amongst others:
obtaining and reviewing managements cash flow forecast to assess whether current cash levels can sustain operations for a period of at least 12 months from the proposed date of signing the financial statements;
assessing whether the cash flow model reflected the budget that was approved by the Directors;
agreeing year end cash balances to third party independent confirmations received to gain comfort around the opening balances used in the cash flow forecast;
assessing the Groups current level of income and expenditure against managements forecast for consistency of relationships and trends to the historical results, and results since year end; and
assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures within the financial report. | |
Share-based payments | ||
The Group provides benefits to employees and Key Management Personnel in the form of share options and restricted stock units (RSUs) to employees and directors.
These share-based payments are measured at fair value on the date at which they are granted and are expensed over the period in which the vesting conditions are fulfilled. The awards issued by the Group include market, performance, and service conditions which vary by grant. The Group engaged a specialist to provide a valuation of these share-based payments.
This area is a key audit matter due to the inherent subjectivity involved in managements judgements used to value the options including historical volatility, the risk free rate of return and achievement of vesting conditions. |
Our procedures included, amongst others:
obtaining and reviewing the documented terms and conditions for a sample of agreements;
assessing the competency and objectivity of managements expert;
obtaining and reviewing the valuation report provided by managements external expert in relation to the option and RSU plans and assessing for compliance with AASB 2 Share- Based Payments;
utilising our internal valuation specialists to assess the inputs and assumptions used to determine the fair values of the awards for appropriateness and reasonableness;
recalculating the fair value of a sample of the awards;
recalculating the vesting schedules to evaluate whether the related expense has been recorded in the correct periods; and
reviewing the adequacy of related disclosures. |
