NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in Australian dollars)

 

Note 1: Basis of Preparation

 

This condensed consolidated interim report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2017 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. This interim financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

 

This condensed consolidated interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017 and any public announcements made by Prana Biotechnology Limited (the “Company”) during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. There were no new accounting standards or interpretations adopted by the Company during this reporting period.

 

Note 2: Significant estimates and assumptions

 

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

 

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

 

(a)Going concern

 

The Group is a development stage medical biotechnology company and as such expects to be utilising cash until the results of its research activities have become marketable. For the six months ended 31 December 2017, the Group incurred an operating loss of A$3,617,439 and an operating cash outflow of A$1,172,663 compared with an operating loss of A$3,651,845 and an operating cash outflow of A$620,953 for the six months ended 31 December 2016. As at 31 December, 2017 the net assets of the Group stood at A$20,115,553 compared with A$23,690,034 at 30 June 2017 and our cash position decreased to A$19,911,187 from A$21,734,957 at 30 June 2017.

 

Cash on hand at 31 December 2017 plus projected operating inflows are considered sufficient to meet the Group's forecast cash outflows for at least 12 months from the date of this report. While there is an inherent uncertainty in the Group's cash flow forecast in relation to the proposed expenditure on research and development which may impact the forecast cash position, the Company’s directors believe the Group will be able to maintain sufficient cash reserves through a range of options, including:

 

·The Group continues to pursue the raising of additional funds through alternative funding structures and has a strong history of raising capital. The Group has an existing "at market” (ATM) facility through which it could raise additional funds of up to US$50 million by the sale of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). This facility, established through the filing of a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2017 has been a successful source of raising funds. In prior reporting periods, the Group has raised A$48.68 million (US$44.5 million) under this and a previous ATM facility.

 

·The Group has on issue a total of 30 million unlisted, unexercised options. The options have exercise prices ranging from A$0.07 to A$1.12. If all unlisted options were exercised, the Group would receive consideration of A$2.49 million in total. Although the exercise of options may be available, it is not in the Group’s control to receive this consideration.

 

 5 

 

 

·Notwithstanding, in the event that the Group will not have sufficient funds to effect its current plans through the above-mentioned methods, the Group has the ability to scale down its operations and prioritise its research and development programs.

 

Additionally, the Group has recorded a receivable at December 31, 2017 in the amount of A$1,360,238 from the Australian Tax Office in respect of its 2018 research and development tax incentive claim. The Group expects to receive this amount during the next 12 months.

 

On this basis, the Company’s directors are satisfied that the Group is a going concern and at this time are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2017.

 

Therefore, no adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

 

(b)R&D Tax Incentives

 

The Australian Government replaced the research and development tax concession with the research and development tax incentive, effective from 1 July 2011. The provisions provide refundable or non-refundable tax offsets. The research and development tax incentive applies to expenditure incurred and the use of depreciating assets in an income year commencing on or after 1 July 2011. A refundable research and development tax incentive offset of 43.5%, equivalent to a deduction of 150%, will be available to eligible small companies with an annual aggregate turnover of less than A$20 million. Eligible companies can receive a refundable research and development tax incentive offset of 43.5% of their research and development spending.

 

The Group's research and development activities are eligible under an Australian Government tax incentive for eligible expenditure from 1 July 2011. Management has assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. For the period to 31 December 2017 the Group recorded an item in other income of A$1,360,238 compared with A$1,830,734 for the comparable 2016 period to recognise this amount which relates to this period.

 

(c)Share-based payments

 

The value attributed to share options and remuneration shares issued is an estimate calculated using an appropriate mathematical formula based on an option-pricing model. The choice of models and the resultant option value require assumptions to be made in relation to the likelihood and timing of the conversion of the options to shares and the value and volatility of the price of the underlying shares.

 

Note 3: Segment information

 

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

Options that are considered to be potential ordinary shares are excluded from the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic loss per share. Where dilutive, potential ordinary shares are included in the calculation of diluted loss per share. All the options on issue do not have the effect to dilute the loss per share. Therefore, they have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

Note 10: Financial instruments measured at fair value

 

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

 

·quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
·inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
·inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

 

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