The group's research
and development (R&D) activities are eligible under an Australian government tax incentive for eligible expenditure. Management has
assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. Amounts are recognised
when it has been established that the conditions of the tax incentive have been met and that the expected amount can be reliably measured.
For the year ended 30 June 2023, the group has included an item in other income of $398,391 offset by an overestimation from the prior
period of $5,514 (2022: $257,500) to recognise income over the year necessary to match the R&D tax incentive on a systematic basis
with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
gains of $430,932 from the movement in inventory provision during the period reflect the write back resulting from the change in accounting
estimate driven from the sales recovery in the Australian, U.S. and North American markets for Travelan as compared to the prior period.

receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally
due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current.
receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components,
when they are recognised at fair value. The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows
and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
amounts primarily comprise receivables from the Australian Taxation Office in relation to the R&D tax incentive.
to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.
group classifies the following as financial assets recognised at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) as part of Immuron's strategic
investment in Ateria:

on a systematic basis with the costs that they are intended to compensate. The remaining balance of $698,195 of cash received from MTEC
was recognised as other deferred income as at 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: nil).
