and Rest of World markets.

• Underlying Operating Revenues from product sales increase 9% to $48.4 million.

• Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) increase of 968% to $1.2 million for the six months

following the normalised (NPAT)

1

$0.1 million for the same period a year ago.

• Maxigesic pain relief registrations up to 46 territories for the oral formulation and

20 territories for the intravenous formulation.

• Maxigesic US FDA complete response letter indicating final approvability of

Maxigesic tablets in US subject to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

inspection.

• Equity Raise of $12 million to reduce debt facility and fund anticipated growth.

• Operating profit forecast for the year to 31 March 2021 remains in the $14 to $18

million range.


AFT Pharmaceuticals (NZX; AFT, ASX; AFP) today announces continued growth in

revenue and normalised earnings as it benefits from growth across its portfolio of over-

the-counter and prescription medicines.

It also reports continuing good progress commercialising its Maxigesic pain

medication in international markets, despite the Covid-19 challenges.

Group operating revenue for the six months to 30 September 2020 grew by 4% to $48.8

million from $46.9 million in the same period a year ago. Underlying revenue from

product sales grew 9% to $48.4 million.

AFT’s largest market, Australia grew revenue by 11%, New Zealand was flat while Asia

was down 7% with all markets seeing Covid-19 related disruptions.

Operating revenue from the Rest of the World declined 15% due to lower Maxigesic

licensing income as Covid-19 travel restrictions disrupted international out licensing

negotiations. However, the underlying product sales grew a strong 57%.

Group operating profit for the six months to 30 September 2020 was $2.4 million, down

from the normalised

1

$3.9 million operating profit in the same period a year ago. The

fall was due primarily to lower license income.

¹ FY20 normalised to exclude $9.8m gain on de-recognition of equity accounted investment and recognition of net assets acquired at

fair value in a step acquisition

2

Last year’s first half operating profit of $13.7 million was bolstered by the non-recurring

gain on acquisition of the joint venture Dermatology Specialty Limited Partnership

(DSLP) of $9.8 million.

Group net profit before tax (NPBT) rose to $1.2 million from the normalised $0.1 million

in the same period a year ago. The DSLP gain increased last year’s first half NPBT to

$9.9 million.

Chair David Flacks said: “AFT has delivered another strong result despite the disrupted

global environment. The rise in net profit confirms our strategy to expand our presence

in our home markets of Australia, New Zealand and Asia and grow our international

revenues through the out licensing of our intellectual property.

“This growth, coupled with the refinancing of our debt at New Zealand market rates

and the $12 million in new capital we raised earlier this year reinforces our position to

continue to grow shareholder value.”

Founder and Managing Director Dr Hartley Atkinson said: “We are pleased with the

progress we have made in what have been challenging market conditions. Following

on from last year, all divisions of the company - Australia, New Zealand, Asia and our

International markets – continue to contribute to group operating earnings.

“Our main Australian market continued to grow strongly despite some COVID-19

related disruptions. We are investing for growth and have added new medicines to

our in-licensed portfolio that have the potential to lift sales considerably in the coming

years.

“We are pleased with the ongoing progress of our development program. We have

filed for regulatory approval for a further four line extensions to Maxigesic. These come

on top of growing registrations around the world for Maxigesic tablets and Maxigesic

IV.

“We see further significant growth in international Maxigesic sales in the second half

of the 2021 financial year and into the following financial year as the number of

countries in which the medicine is launched increases. We also see a sharper

acceleration in the following years as sales in all these countries build, we add

additional dose forms and the impacts of Covid-19 lessen.

“Meanwhile, our pipeline of development opportunities continues to show promise.

We are looking to the future with confidence as we continue to execute on our plans.”


MAXIGESIC COMMERCIALISATION

Maxigesic tablets are now being sold in 34 countries, up from 28 at the end of the 2020

financial year.

Licensing

In the half year we signed a further ten Maxigesic IV Licensing and Distribution

Agreements in six countries within the CEE, Germany, Austria, France and Italy. These

agreements have lifted the number of territories in which the medicine has been

licensed to 90 as at 30 September 2020 with further recent signings since then in Hong

Kong and the UK.

Licensing negotiations have been hampered due to Covid-19 restrictions, which have

limited our ability to travel to meet with potential licensees. In response we have

relocated one of AFT’s Business Development personnel to Switzerland.

AFT has also set up an EU affiliate, AFT Pharmaceuticals (EUR) Ltd based in Ireland to

handle anticipated growing sales in the region. The office will include sales and

regulatory resources for that market.

We are seeing deal momentum improving, particularly in Europe as the region gets

back to work after the initial lockdowns and the summer holiday season.

Since 30 September 2020, we have added tablet agreements for Greece and

Pakistan. This is consistent with the previously noted deal interest following a slow

period when Covid-19 broke out.

We are also working on out-licensing both the tablet and intravenous dose forms of

Maxigesic for the USA, China, and Japan, some of the largest pharmaceutical markets

in the world.

Importantly, Maxigesic tablets have now received a positive complete response letter

from the US FDA with successful GMP inspection of the manufacturing facility being

the last remaining step. This will not be possible until Covid-19 travel restrictions are

lifted.

Launches

Covid-19 has delayed Maxigesic launches in some markets however we are on track

to reach our goal of over 40 countries within the current financial year. We had

originally targeted sales and orders from 66 countries but now believe 50 is a more

likely outcome.

We anticipate launches of Maxigesic tablets in nine markets in the second half of this

financial year.


PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Maxigesic

The majority of the Maxigesic clinical trial programme has now been completed. An

additional 225 patient clinical study of Maxigesic IV was completed in USA in order to

prepare the US regulatory dossier.

Completion of this study was delayed due to Covid-19 in the USA, but despite some

significant challenges, this has been successfully completed and study data

monitored through remote audit which was an innovative approach.

We continue to develop line extensions to strengthen and build the Maxigesic product

franchise in Australia and New Zealand and further afield. New regulatory filings have

4
been made for Maxigesic Hot Drink Sachets and Maxigesic Oral Liquid. We continue

to work on securing our first regulatory approvals which are expected prior to the end

of this financial year.

Final development work also continues on Maxigesic Dry Stick Sachets which has been

delayed due to some challenges with stability data. Meanwhile additional Maxigesic

Rapid regulatory data is under preparation.

We have filed for the approval of Maxigesic Cold & Flu in Australia and we await

review. A further patent for the key Australian market has been in-licensed to create

an additional Maxigesic line extension. This has also now been filed in Australia. Hence

currently there are a further four Maxigesic lin e extensions under regulatory review and

a further one (Maxigesic Rapid) being prepared for submission which represents

pleasing progress in our development program.

Pascomer

The development programme for our drug Pascomer, a stable topical formulation of

Rapamycin being developed for facial angiofibromas in tuberous sclerosis complex,

continues to progress. Stability studies have now confirmed a 36-month shelf life at

room temperature which is extraordinary considering that the active ingredient

Rapamycin is easily oxidized.

We are enrolling patients into our large multi-centre international study with sites in

New Zealand, Australia, US and Europe. Although enrolment rates and running of the

study has been significantly impacted by Covid-19 restrictions we are well underway

and continue to enrol patients. Our focus remains to complete this initial study during

2021 despite challenges to enrolment.

NasoSURF

The development programme for NasoSURF, a nasal drug nebuliser, continues with

successful completion of the engineering batches.

We have now commenced work on development of the specific dose form for the

first formulation to be produced in the United Sates. Following this, preliminary batches

will be used for clinical studies which are planned for the 2021 calendar year.

Australasian markets.

Our in-licensing program has continued to gather momentum and we see this will

further grow our business across both markets in future. Positive results have started to

show from these efforts as we have, for example, achieved 23 new product approvals

across Australia and New Zealand during the first half of this financial year. The

subsequent launches of these products will assist in driving sales growth for Australia

and New Zealand.

We have also undertaken an extensive review of the requirements for medicinal

cannabis in Australia. We have followed on from our Memorandum of Understanding

with the Taupo-based SETEK to sign a distribution agreement for our first products. AFT

will take over responsibility for compiling product registration dossiers which will be an

important and essential next step.

In the meantime, we are rolling out the first launches of our hemp-based topical

product range, Hemptuary as an extension of our existing Topiderm branded range of

topical treatments, at this stage into Australia and New Zealand.

5
Outlook

This year has seen unprecedented challenges due to Covid-19, but regardless our

team has worked tirelessly to successfully minimise their impact.

Sales have grown and although development work has been delayed in some cases,

we continue to advance our development projects.

Additional launches continue, and are contributing to sales growth in our International

markets and we believe these will accelerate. Larger licensing agreements such as

USA for either Maxigesic IV or oral remain a key upside for the future.

We continue to expect the combination of sales growth, careful management of

expenditure and some additional licensing agreements to allow us to deliver our

forecast operating profit for the year to 31 March 2021 of $14 million to $18 million.

REVENUE


Australian Revenue grew by 11% to $28.6 million from $25.7million in the same period

a year ago and represented 58% of Group Operating Revenue. Operating profits rose

to $3.2 million from $1.9 million in the same period a year ago.


The OTC channel has been hindered by the Covid-19 restrictions but has grown at 9%

and is generating 60% of total Australian revenue. We have introduced hand sanitizer

and face masks to assist with the Covid-19 response and these have made a valuable

contribution to sales.

Maxigesic sales were impacted by Covid-19 restrictions and have not grown over the

period. However, the brand maintains its leadership of the paracetamol-ibuprofen

combination section of the pain management market.

Our eyecare range continued to deliver good growth, benefiting from the recently

introduced products including Novatears and its line extension Novatears Omega3

and Optisoothe.

We retain the number one position in the lubricating eyecare category in Australia.

7
The Hospital channel grew 13% to generate total sales of $8.6 million. It benefited from

anti-biotic sales in response to Covid-19. The Prescription channel grew at 17% with

the launch of new products, whilst some products, such as penicillin, were significantly

down due to the decline in GP visits during Covid-19 restrictions.







New Zealand Revenue of $13.7 million was flat on the same period a year ago and

represented 28% of Group Operating Revenue. Operating profit, excluding head

office costs, of $1.6 million was also level with the same period a year ago.

This is a good result given the significant impact of the Covid-19 restrictions. The end

of the prior year saw strong sales of a range of Covid-19 related products, in particular

Vitamin C and antibiotics, and this together with the subsequent Covid-19 restrictions

has impacted sales in this first half.

The OTC channel grew at 3% to $7.6 million from $7.4 million at the same time a year

ago. The standout categories were allergy medicines and face masks which were

introduced to assist with the Covid-19 response.

The Hospital channel grew at 11% to $2.2 million from $1.9 million at the same time a

year ago with strong sales of antibiotics. The Prescription channel declined 9% to $4.0

million from $4.4 million at the same time a year ago. The fall was due to the restrictions

on GP visits through the Covid-19 lock downs and government restrictions preventing

pharmacists from dispensing more than 30 days of medicine through this period. These

restrictions were eased to the standard 90 days in August, which will see a shift back

to more usual sales levels.

8
Asia Revenue declined 7% to $2.2 million from $2.4 million in the same period last year

and generated 5% of Group Operating Revenue. However, operating profits rose

strongly to $0.7 million from $0.1 million in the same period last year. The launches and

transition to better margin Hospital and prescription products have significantly

improved the profitability of this market.

The OTC channel benefitted from pandemic stockpiling of Maxigesic in Singapore.

The Hospital and prescription channels declined with the transition to better margin

products which resulted in the significant improvements in profitability.

We have launched a T-Mall flagship store to drive ecommerce sales into the Chinese

market and additionally brand recognition. Initial sales have been positive, but it is a

long-term project albeit with significant potential.

With sales commencing from China and in the near future, South Korea, we have

amended this segment to be named as Asia, as opposed to Southeast Asia, to reflect

the expanded geography.

Rest of World Revenue declined 16% to $4.4 million from $5.2 million in the same period

a year ago and represented 9% of Group Operating Revenue. The overall decline

was due to limited license income in this time period. However, revenues from product

sales grew by 57% to $3.9 million.

Maxigesic product sales and royalty income from existing markets, launch orders

shipped to the new markets of Mexico, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg

generated a large proportion of the revenue.

Sales have been restricted by ongoing impacts of Covid-19 in India where

manufacturing of Maxigesic tablets is currently undertaken. Diversification of the

manufacturing base is well underway and is expected to mitigate these disruptions

by the end of this financial year.

Operating profit at break-even is behind the normalised $3.4 million result in the same

period last year, again reflecting lower license income. The prior period also

benefitted from one-off $1.7 million contributions from joint venture partners resulting

from successful development results.

The prior year’s first half operating profit of $13.1 million also included the non-recurring

gain on acquisition of the joint venture Dermatology Specialty Limited Partnership

(DSLP) of $9.8 million.

Gross Profit declined 5% to $20.3 million due to the lower license income, with the

underlying gross profit from product sales growing by 6% to $20 million driven by

revenue growth in Australia and the Rest of World. The gross profit margin on product

sales fell 1 percentage point to 41% due to the weaker New Zealand dollar at the start

of the year and additional freight costs incurred to get product to Australia and New

Zealand through the Covid19 transport shortages in order to ensure continuity of

supply


Other Income of $0.2 million was in line with the $0.3 million in the prior year. It includes

a Callaghan Innovation growth grant that we receive on eligible research and

development expenditure and NZTE International Growth Fund grants that we receive

on eligible market development expenditure in Asia.

Selling and Distribution expenses fell 4% to $12.4 million from $12.9 million in the same

period last year. We were able to tailor our spend in Australia and New Zealand to suit

the Covid-19 restrictions. We continue to benefit from efficiencies in Australia, New

9
Zealand and Asia and revenue growth in the Rest of World where licensees carry these

costs.

Selling and distribution expenses now represent 25% of revenue, down from 27% in the

same period a year ago. Whilst we will be investing to launch and promote new

products in our home markets, over the longer term we expect these expenses as a

proportion of total revenue to continue to reduce as revenue from the Rest of World

grows.

General and Administration expenses fell 14% to $3.9 million from $4.5 million in the

same period a year ago due to reduced legal fees in Australia. These fees relate to a

competitor legal action that challenged certain Maxigesic claims. The marketing

claims currently in use have maintained our market share lead in the category and

AFT remains confident of its legal position.

Research and development expenses increased to $1.8 million. The net $0.2 million for

the same period a year ago included the one-off $1.7 million contributions from joint

venture partners following successful development results. So actual spend has

remained consistent.

AFT is continuing to carefully run its Research and Development budgets and to

investigate other sources of funding such as international research grants, including

grants from the USA.

These efforts to date have been bolstered by agreements for Pascomer that recover

Research and Development costs from our partners, effectively minimising risk, and

lowering AFT’s spending.

However, despite the reduced expenditure we have not cut back on development

work. It continues and the biggest challenge at present remains navigating the impact

of Covid-19 on studies.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Total Assets of $94.0 million rose from $87.1 million as at 31 March 2020 (referred to as

PCP for this section) with the increase in working capital and intangible assets driving

the rise.

Working Capital increased to $32.9 million (PCP $26.2 million) with inventory increasing

to $36.0 million (PCP $22.7 million). We have been building our inventory up to protect

our stock levels during the supply and freight difficulties and delays caused by Covid-

19.

Receivables have reduced to $16.6 million (PCP $26.0 million) with the year-end having

been particularly high due to the large pre-lockdown sales made at the back end of

last year. Payables and provisions reduced to $19.7 million (PCP $22.5 million).

Cash holdings of $5.9 million remained at about the same level as year-end (PCP $6.1

million). The $12 million we raised with the issue of new equity has been used to reduce

debt by $3.0 million.

A $2.7 million net cash outflow from operating activities was due primarily to the stock

build, the $3.9 million net cash outflow from investing activities and the $2.4 million

outflow of other financing activities.

We had initially anticipated using the equity raise to more actively reduce our debt

level, however as the ongoing nature of Covid-19 restrictions became more apparent

we have taken the more prudent approach of building inventory levels. Due to the

10
seasonal nature of our home markets we would more typically expect to hold

between $2 million to $4 million more inventory in September over March.

Finally, our new BNZ three-year facility provides us with greater flexibility than the

previous six -year term loan and at greatly reduced interest costs.

entity’s website. We accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim

financial statements since they were initially presented on the website. The review report refers only to the unaudited condensed

consolidated interim financial statements named above. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been

hyperlinked to/from these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. If readers of this report are concerned with

the inherent risks arising from electronic data communication they should refer to the published hard copy of the unaudited condensed

the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements presented on this website. Legislation in New Zealand governing

the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.


INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AFT PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED


We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited and its

subsidiaries (‘the Group’) which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2020, and the

consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of

changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six m onths ended on that date, and a summary

of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information on pages 4 to 18.


This report is made solely to the company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we

might state to the company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and

for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone

other than the company’s shareholders as a body, for our engagement, for this report, or for the opinions we have

formed.


Board of Directors’ Responsibilities

The Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated

interim financial statements, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation

and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


Our Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on

our review. We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410’). NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything

has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements,

taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. As the auditor of AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited, NZ SRE 2410

requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.


A review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited

assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.


The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in

accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an audit

opinion on these financial statements.


Other than in our capacity as auditor and the provision of taxation services, we have no relationship with or

interests in AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited or its subsidiaries. These services have not impaired our independence as

auditor of the Company and Group.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated

interim financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the

Group as at 30 September 2020 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date

in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

For the Six Months Ended 30 September 2020

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited (the ‘Company’) is a company which is incorporated and domiciled in

New Zealand. It is registered under the Companies Act 1993. These financial statements comprise

AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group). The Group is a

pharmaceutical distributor and developer of pharmaceutical intellectual property.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Directors on 19

November 2020 and are not audited, but have been reviewed by Deloitte Limited in accordance with the

New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These general-purpose financial statements for the six months to 30 September 2020 have been prepared

in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with

NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of

complying with NZ GAAP.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the notes normally included in

an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial

statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with the New

Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial

Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the condensed consolidated

interim financial statements as compared to the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March

2020, as described in those annual financial statements.

3. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Impact of Covid19

AFT, like every other organization and individual, is impacted by the global Covid19 pandemic.

Pharmaceuticals are classified as an essential service and the Group has continued to operate through

this situation. The initial impact on the Group overall has been favourable with an increase in demand for

specific products such as Analgesics (e.g. Maxigesic), Vitamin C Liposachets, Cold and Flu products and

Antibiotics. In the local Australasian market, AFT has a broad product portfolio across many therapeutic

areas which are largely unaffected in a sales sense by Covid19 pandemics since the associated medical

conditions continue and regardless require treatment. AFT where possible has multiple manufacturing

sites for its main products such as Maxigesic and these also feature different geographies to lessen country

risk. Covid19 is an evolving issue worldwide and the Directors continue to monitor the full economic and

financial impacts on the Group.

Potential areas of impact are sales volumes and prices, supply timing/interruption and pricing, with the

resulting stock levels and cash flow timings. In order to safeguard against the potential impacts, the Group

has increased average stock holdings to between five and six months.

4. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS FOR THE CURRENT PERIOD

There were no other significant transactions during the current period.

5. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Revised accounting standards did not have an impact on AFT’s adopted accounting policies.

6. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

AFT Pharmaceuticals Ltd currently earns most of its incomes from the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Seasonal factors mean that revenues and operating profits are expected to be higher in the second half

of the financial year, than those of the first 6 months. In the financial year ended 31 March 2020, 44% of

revenues accumulated in the first half and 56% accumulated in the second half.

7. INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES

The CRG loan facilities were repaid in full on 31 March 2020. At 30 September 2020 the CRG loan balance

owing was $nil (30 September 2019: $30.808m)

In March 2020, the Group entered a loan agreement with BNZ for $43.2m. The BNZ loans have a general

security over the assets of the Group together with a group guarantee. The new facility includes a

progressive part reduction in principle over the three-year term. The loan attracts an effective interest rate

of 8.48%, which is a reduction to the interest rates charged on the repaid CRG loan, resulting in a reduction

of interest costs during the period. At 30 September 2020 the BNZ loan balances owing were $38.45m (30

September 2019: $15m).

8. SHARE CAPITAL

Ordinary shares

On 15 June 2020 the Group issued 2,666,667 ordinary shares at a price of $3.75 per share, raising NZ$10m.

On 2 July 2020 a Share Purchase Plan was completed at a price of $3.75 per share. The SPP was fully

subscribed with 533,333 ordinary shares being issued and raising NZ$2m. The NZ$723k costs associated

with the capital raise are shown within the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.

The funds raised have been applied to reducing working capital facilities and providing stability to fund

future anticipated growth.

Staff share options

Staff share options are exercisable at the price of $2.80 each, being the issue price of a share at the time of

the company’s initial listing on NZX and ASX. The vesting period is generally up to four years however this

varies according to various performance criteria. Other than in limited circumstances options are forfeited

if an employee leaves the group before the options vest. The options are valued at the grant date at fair

value as calculated independently using the Black Scholes model. During the period 134,000 options were

exercised, raising NZ$375K.

Redeemable preference shares

During the period all 3,300,000 redeemable preference shares issued on 24 March 2017 were converted

by the holders into 3,300,000 ordinary shares with an additional 605,856 ordinary shares being issued in

respect of accumulated dividends on the redeemable preference shares. CRG converted their preference

shares on 20 May 2020 and Atkinson Family Trust converted their preference shares on 7 August 2020.

The preference shares did not carry any right to vote except at meetings of an ‘interest group’ of holders of

redeemable shares.

9. DIVIDENDS PAID

Ordinary shares

No dividends have been paid or declared for the ordinary shares.

Redeemable preference shares

The redeemable preference shares issued on 24 March 2017 attracted a dividend rate of 9.4% per annum,

or 25.8 cents per share per annum and fell due on a quarterly basis. During the period all holders of

redeemable preference shares converted their preference shares into ordinary shares. Dividends from the

start of the accounting period up to the date of conversion were $187,574 (including withholding tax) and

were paid in cash.

10. RECONCILIATION OF PROFIT AFTER TAX WITH NET CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING

ACTIVITIES

11. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIP


During the previous reporting period the group acquired the remaining 50% of Dermatology Specialities

Limited Partner (DSLP), from its joint venture partner Tardimed Sciences LLC.

As a result of the transaction the Group retained rights to the intellectual property, future product sales

and royalties. The Group engaged external independent valuers to assist in determining the fair value

of the Pascomer intellectual property, and after taking into account the inherent uncertainties of both

the successful conclusion of clinical trials and the successful registration with orphan status, the Group

determined the fair value of the Pascomer intellectual property to be $12.5m.

The following fair values were recognised during the prior period within the consolidated financial

statements in respect of DSLP

Intangible asset – Pascomer IP $12.5m

Inventory $0.3m

Trade marks $0.1m

Gain on derecognition of equity accounted investment and $9.8m

recognition of net assets acquired at fair value in a step acquisition

The clinical trials have been progressing positively and other than the slowdown resulting from Covid19, the

Group remains confident of a successful outcome and have accordingly retained the fair value of $12.5m.

*The New Zealand operating segment includes the costs associated with the Group’s Head Office function.

In the interim financial statements for the period ending 30 September 2019, the Head Office costs were

incorrectly included within Rest of World. This has been corrected in the table above.

13. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) Managing financial risk

The Group’s activities expose it to various financial risks as detailed below.

Market risk

Management is of the opinion that the Group’s exposure to market risk at balance date is defined as

Risk Factor DescriptionSensitivity

Foreign exchange riskExposure to changes in foreign

exchange rates on assets and liabilities

of the subsidiary

As below

Interest rate riskExposure to changes in interest rates

on borrowings

As below

Other price riskNo commodity securities are bought,

sold or traded

Nil

Foreign exchange risk

The Group benefits from the use of derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exposures.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates at

period end and the contract exchange rates, considered level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Group purchases goods and services from overseas suppliers in a number of currencies, primarily AUD,

USD, EUR and GBP which exposes the Group to foreign currency risk. The Group manages foreign currency

risk through use of derivative arrangements, in particular forward exchange contracts. The exposure is

monitored on a regular basis based on Group foreign exchange policies. Future revenues from markets

outside Australasia will be denominated primarily in USD and EUR which will provide a natural hedge

against these costs.

In the current period for the six months to 30 September 2020 (H1 FY2021) net realised foreign exchange

gains totalled $445,140 (H1 FY2020: $368,637 loss). The balance of the gains/losses are derived from the

restatement of the monetary balances at the spot rate on the period end balance date of 30 September

2020.

In total, the group had financial assets and liabilities denominated in the following currencies, as at 30

September 2020:

Interest rate risk

The BNZ loan is in NZ$ and priced at base plus margin which floats every renewal period (generally two

months).

Credit risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Group to credit risk, principally consist of accounts

receivable. Regular monitoring is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure remains within the Group’s

normal terms of trade.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

AFT PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

16

The Group has one significant concentration of credit risk at 30 September 2020 with the largest debtor

being $4,790,000 (30 September 2019: $2,966,000). There has been no past experience of default and no

indications of default in relation to this debtor.

The Group’s cash and short-term deposits are placed with high credit quality financial institutions.

Accordingly, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk other than bank deposits, with 6.2%

of total assets at NAB Bank (H1 FY2020: 4.3%) and an overdraft position at BNZ (H1 FY2020: 4.3% assets).

The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in raising funds at short notice to meet

its commitments and arises from the need to borrow funds for working capital. The directors monitor the

risk on a regular basis and actively manage the cash available to ensure the net exposure to liquidity risk is

minimised.

The liquidity/maturity profile of the liabilities is as follows:
