NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
(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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
