A large proportion of the company’s assets are intangible in nature, consisting of intellectual property, goodwill and right-of-use assets. Our Intellectual property and goodwill relate to the acquisition of both Mesoblast, Inc and culture-expanded Mesenchymal Stem Cells technology. These assets and the associated provision for contingent consideration are excluded from the calculation of net tangible assets per security.  The deferred tax liability has also been excluded from the calculation to the extent it relates to future tax obligations as a result of the intellectual property assets deriving revenue at some point in the future. This deferred tax liability has arisen as a direct result of the intellectual property being acquired.

Audited Financial Report 2020

This preliminary final report has been based on accounts which have been audited.  The independent auditors report includes the following statement:

We draw attention to Note 1(i) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group had net cash outflows from operations of $56.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 and further cash inflows will be required to meet forecast expenditure over the next 12 months. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as and when they fall due are dependent on product sales and entering into non-dilutive strategic and commercial transactions, meeting milestones from existing strategic and financing partnerships, or equity-based financing. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1(i), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

A copy of the audited Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 is included in Item 18 Financial Statements within the Form 20-F.
