7. Dividends No dividends have been paid or declared for payment by the Company since the end of the previous financial year and until the date of this report. 8. Events Subsequent to Reporting Date Acquisitions Aspen Medisys On 10 August 2011 Helicon Group Limited announced it had signed a letter of intent with Aspen Medisys LLC (AML), a US-based nanotechnology company, to acquire 100% of the issued capital of AML. AML’s patented technology enables very precise temperature increases to be targeted to diseased tissue using magnetically heated nanoparticles implanted in the diseased tissue. A particular application of AML’s magnetic nanoparticle technology is solid tumors. The types of tumors that may be treated by this nanotechnology include tumors associated with ovarian, lung and pancreatic cancers. A feature of AML’s nanotechnology is the ability to generate unusually high heating rates by using medium strength and safe magnetic fields to heat the injected proprietary magnetic nanoparticles. These nanoparticles can be energized remotely through externally applied energy: when placed in an alternating magnetic field (AMF) the nanoparticles are capable of generating heat in the tumor, thereby destroying it. The consideration for the acquisition will be $1.5 million in HCG scrip and a further $2 million in HCG scrip to be issued subject to certain success-based milestones being achieved as detailed below.

It is a condition precedent to the transaction that Helicon spends a minimum of $3 million, subject to milestones, on the further development of the technology over an 18 month period. This transaction is subject to HCG shareholder, regulatory and legal approval. The key milestones of the proposed transaction are as follows:

1. The execution of a Definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement, on or before October 7, 2011; 2. Satisfactory due diligence investigations being completed. 3. Subject to the above-mentioned conditions precedent and HCG shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming

General Meeting AUD $1.5 million in scrip is payable upon completion, which is expected to be 7 days after the later of execution of the definitive agreement or satisfactory of the conditions precedent;

4. The funding of further development of the AML technology in an amount of at least $3m, subject to attainment of project-specific milestones;

5. Scrip to the value of AUD $1 million upon the successful completion and submission of a final technology report into the safety and efficacy for use of the AML technology in animals to be conducted at the University of California, Davis; expected to transpire in Q42012;

6. Scrip to the value of AUD $0.5 million upon the first commercial sale of a product incorporating the Technology; expected within 6 months of completion of point 3 above; and

7. Scrip to the value of AUD $0.5 million upon cumulative sales of a product incorporating the Technology attaining AUD $10 million.

Linguet IP On 15 August 2011, Helicon Group Limited announced the completion of the due diligence and the subsequent acquisition of OzPharma Pty Ltd (OzPharma) Linguet™ patented buccal delivery IP by its newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary Lingual Consegna Pty Ltd. Invented by Ernest Hewitt and Richard Stenlake of OzPharma, Linguet™ is a buccal (orodispersible) tablet delivery technology, which increases drug load capacity while reducing side effects commonly associated with other means of drug delivery. The Linguet™ buccal delivery system provides improved bioavailability of active agents and is able to deliver up to and sometimes more than 85% of the active ingredient as it circumvents the action of the liver in `first past metabolism`. This means that a small dose may be required to achieve the same or better results of the active ingredient compared with conventional tablets or capsules. According to the GBI Research Report, the Oral MR (modified release) drug delivery market was valued at $49b in 2009 and estimated to double by 2016. The distinctive patented Linguet™ technology has significant commercial upside, as it is potentially a patent extender for many pharmaceutical companies whose products face patent expiration. Under the terms of the agreement Helicon has the right to acquire the Linguet™ IP by paying OzPharma a consideration of: $50,000, 15% of Linguet™ royalties paid to Helicon, 1,370,000 Helicon shares and a call option (“Call Option”) over the new subsidiary company, Lingual Consegna Pty Ltd that holds the technology. OzPharma is not able to exercise the Call Option until one month after two key Linguet™ patents have been granted in the USA. Helicon may terminate the Call Option prior to it being capable of being exercised by the payment to OzPharma of 25,000,000 ordinary Helicon Shares. The agreement is subject to the following conditions:

• The $50,000 cash consideration being advanced to OzPharma by 5 August 2011 (completed); • The 1,370,000 share consideration being advanced to OzPharma by 5 November 2011; and • Any regulatory requirements under Australian Law.

With the initial proof-of-concept completed, the future plans include further product development and commencement of business development opportunities by 1Q2012, in particular targeting of specialist drug delivery technology providers as well as brand and generic pharma companies for licensing opportunities. Both acquisitions complement the existing portfolio of unique drug delivery systems of Helicon including Vibrovein™ and BreatheAssist™.

Audited Remuneration Report 16.1 Principles of Compensation The Board’s policies for determining the amount and nature of compensation of key management personnel of the Group are as follows:

The compensation structure for key management personnel is based on a number of factors, including length of service, specific experience of the individual, the individual’s performance and contribution to the Group, and the overall performance of the Group.

The compensation structure of individual key management personnel is embodied in individual service contracts that include incentives designed to reward key management personnel for results achieved and to retain their services. 16.2 Fixed Remuneration Fixed compensation consisted of a base salary (calculated on a total cost basis, including any fringe benefits tax related to employee benefits) as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Compensation levels are reviewed annually by the Board through a process that considers individual and company achievement.

16.3 Performance linked remuneration Performance linked compensation includes short term incentives (STI), in the form of cash bonuses paid only upon the achievement of predetermined Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Long term incentives (LTI) provided are options over ordinary shares in the Company or loans to fund purchase of shares in the Company. Performance remuneration is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targets of those executives in charge of meeting those targets. Incentive based payments may be granted to executives based on specific annual targets and KPI being achieved. KPI’s include financial and/or operational performance targets. In addition, equity payments in the form of share options may be issued to Key Management Personnel ('KMP') or non-executive directors to further align their interests with the performance of the company.

Name: Peter Abrahamson Title: Director Details: At a general meeting in August 2010, shareholders approved the forgiveness of the non-recourse loan amounting to $56,000 in respect of the 1,000,000 shares owned. Mr. Abrahamson is engaged on the company’s standard director retainer of $60,000 pa (2010 $26,160). The Company contracted the services of Mr Graeme Boden and other employees of Boden Corporate Services on a fee for service basis, on arm’s length commercial terms and at rates Boden Corporate Services normally charges its clients for similar services. Mr Boden does not receive additional compensation for his services as a director. 2010 On 13 June 2007, the Group entered into an Employment agreement with Mr Peter Abrahamson for the position of Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The term of the Agreement is for an initial period of three years with an option to extend for a further three years. The commencement date was from 21 September 2007. The Agreement provides for a base salary of $250,000, which was reduced by 50% from December 2008. Mr Abrahamson also receives work related allowances and contributions of $22,500 to a superannuation fund (again reduced by 50% from December 2008). The Group will also make available to the CEO, on each anniversary of commencement of the contract, a non-recourse interest free loan to buy 500,000 shares in the Group approved by shareholders at the general meeting held 28th November 2007. The remuneration shares are to be issued at an issue price per share equal to the volume-weighted-average price of the fully paid ordinary shares in the Company as traded on the Australian Securities Exchange for the 30 days prior to their date of issue. The maximum number of shares to be issued during the current three year term of the contract is 1,500,000. By mutual agreement this contract was terminated on 31 March 2010, during which term 1,000,000 of the shares had been issued. At a general meeting in August 2010, shareholders approved the forgiveness of the non-recourse loan amounting to $56,000 in respect of the 1,000,000 shares owned.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT _____________________________________________________________________________

Page 12

Audited Remuneration Report The Company contracted the services of Mr Graeme Boden and other employees of Boden Corporate Services on a fee for service basis, on arm’s length commercial terms and at rates Boden Corporate Services normally charges its clients for similar services. Mr Boden does not receive additional compensation for his services as a director. 16.7 Non-executive Directors In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive remunerations is separate and distinct. Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors considers advice from external sources as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the company. The Chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration. The base fee for a director is presently $60,000 pa (2010: $26,160) and for the chairman $84,000 pa (2010: 54,500), plus GST. Directors invoice the Company monthly for these amounts on a pro rata basis. Directors’ fees cover all main board activities and committee memberships. 16.8 Equity Instruments All options refer to options over ordinary shares of Helicon Group Limited which are exercisable on a one for one basis. (a) Options and rights over equity instruments granted as compensation Details on options over ordinary shares in the Company that have been granted as compensation to each key management person and details on options vested and exercisable are as follows:

No options were granted to key management personnel during or since the end of the year. (b) Exercise of options granted as compensation During the reporting period, no options granted as compensation were exercised, whether issued previously or in the current year. (c) Analysis of movements in options There were no movements during the reporting period of options over ordinary shares in the Company held by each Company director and other key management personnel. No options have lapsed unexercised since the end of the financial year. d) Payments to persons before taking office During the reporting period no payments were made to key management personnel as consideration for them agreeing to hold office.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT __________________________________________________________________________

Page 15

Corporate Governance Statements Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, the Company has followed each recommendation where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for corporate governance practices, taking into account factors such as the size of the Company and the Board, resources available and activities of the Company. Where, after due consideration, the Company's corporate governance practices depart from the Principles and Recommendations, the Board has offered full disclosure of the nature of, and reason for, the adoption of its own practice. Unless disclosed below, all the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations have been applied for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2011. Board Composition The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each director who is in office at the date of the annual report and their term of office are detailed in Section 1 of the directors’ report. The Board does not have a majority of independent directors. The Board is presently comprised of three directors, of which one is deemed to be independent. Chairman, Rob Tomlinson is an independent director. Fabio Pannuti is a full time executive and Peter Abrahamson is a former full time executive and therefore they do not meet the independence criteria of the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The Board has reviewed its composition and considers that relationships which define directors as non-independent have been, and continue to be, of benefit to the company. It is not considered that the relationship of non-independent directors affects their capacity to bring independent judgement to bear on Board decisions. The whole Board sits as the nomination committee when that is required. The composition of the Board is reviewed in the context of changes in the Company’s circumstances. The present composition of the Board was in response to the objective of cost minimisation and will be reviewed as other drivers take priority. Statement concerning availability of independent professional advice If a director considers it necessary to obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of his office as a director, then, provided the director first obtains approval for incurring such expense from the chairperson, the Company will pay the reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice. Ethical Standards The Board acknowledges and emphasises the importance of all directors and employees maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance practice and ethical conduct. A code of conduct has been established requiring directors and employees to: – act honestly and in good faith; – exercise due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office; – avoid conflicts and make full disclosure of any possible conflict of interest; – comply with the law; – encourage the reporting and investigating of unlawful and unethical behaviour; and – comply with the share trading policy outlined in the code of conduct. Directors are obliged to be independent in judgment and ensure all reasonable steps are taken to ensure due care is taken by the Board in making sound decisions. Diversity Policy Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background. The Company is aware of the Diversity Policy and will give it due consideration as and when required. Trading Policy The Company’s policy regarding directors and employees trading in its securities is set by the Board. The policy restricts directors and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the security’s prices. Audit Committee Subsequent to the composition of the Board being reduced to three members, the full Board decided to sit as the audit committee. The Board considers that this is the most appropriate method of operation for the present membership of the Board. The Board considers that the expertise of the directors enables them to fulfil the audit committee charter and does not consider the appointment of further or different directors to be desirable merely to change the composition of the audit committee. The Company has an audit committee charter, which is published on the Company’s website.

Performance Evaluation An annual performance evaluation of the Board and all Board members was not conducted. The Board intends to appoint an independent consultant on consideration of the Board’s expansion in the short term. Board Roles and Responsibilities The Board is first and foremost accountable to provide value to its shareholders through delivery of timely and balanced disclosures. The Board sought external guidance to assist the drafting of its “Board Governance Document” which has been made publicly available on the company’s website. This document details the adopted practices and processes in relation to matters reserved for the Board’s consideration and decision-making and specifies the level of authorisation provided to other key management personnel. The Board is ultimately responsible for ensuring its actions are in accordance with key corporate governance principles. The specific responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Board charter, which is available on the Company’s website. Disclosure The Company has written policies to ensure compliance with disclosures required under the ASX Listing Rules. The Company Secretary is responsible for compliance. The continuous disclosure policy is available on the Company’s website. Shareholders’ Rights Shareholders are entitled to vote on significant matters impacting on the business, which include the election and remuneration of directors, changes to the constitution and receipt of annual and interim financial statements. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in the Annual General Meetings of Helicon Group Limited, to lodge questions to be responded by the Board and/or the CEO, and are able to appoint proxies. The Company has designed a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders. The policy is available on the Company’s website. Risk Management The Board considers identification and management of key risks associated with the business as vital to maximise shareholders’ wealth. A yearly assessment of the business’ risk profile is undertaken and reviewed by the Board, covering all aspects of the business from the operational level through to strategic level risks. The CEO has been delegated the task of implementing internal controls to identify and manage risks for which the Board provides oversight. The effectiveness of these controls is monitored and reviewed regularly. The worsening economic environment has emphasised the importance of managing and reassessing its key business risks. The Company has established policies for the oversight of material business risks and the full Board is engaged in the management of those risks when the need arises. The terms of the risk management policies are disclosed on the Company’s website. The Board has received assurance from the CEO and CFO equivalent that the S 259A declaration is founded on a sound system of financial risk management and internal control and the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial risks. Remuneration Committee and Policies The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee because it is deemed to be more efficient to have the Full Board consider such matters in a broader context of the overall operations. The structure of remuneration of executive and non-executive directors is set out in the Audited Remuneration Report (or section 16 of the Directors’ report). A charter of the remuneration review process is available on the Company’s website. All executives receive a base salary, superannuation, fringe benefits, performance incentives and retirement benefits. The remuneration committee reviews executive packages annually by reference to company performance, executive performance, comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies and independent advice. The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed half yearly which is based on the forecast growth of the company’s profits and shareholders’ value. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre executives and reward them for performance, which results in long-term growth in shareholder value.

Page 17

The amount of remuneration for all key management personnel for the company and the five highest paid executives, including all monetary and non-monetary components, are detailed in the Audited Remuneration Report (or section 16.9 of the Directors’ report). All remuneration paid to executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. The Board expects that the remuneration structure implemented will result in the company being able to attract and retain the best executives to run the consolidated entity. It will also provide executives with the necessary incentives to work to grow long-term shareholder value. The payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Board annually as part of the review of executive remuneration. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. There are no schemes for retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation for non-executive directors. Other Information Further information relating to the company’s corporate governance practices and policies has been made publicly available on the company’s website at http://www.helicongroup.com.au. The Company has placed the following information on its website:

(b) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by the Company at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 21 to the financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date. Business combinations Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions). When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Goodwill Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

(i) the consideration transferred; (ii) any non-controlling interest; and (iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss. The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination. Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interest is determined using valuation techniques, which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 24 for information on the goodwill policy adopted by the Group for acquisitions. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of. Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the carrying values of goodwill. All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. (c) Income Tax The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss. Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rate used to depreciate office equipment is 10%. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. (e) Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).

Page 25

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Classification and subsequent measurement Finance instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss. The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. The Group’s financial instruments are limited to cash, accounts receivable, other financial assets and liabilities and interest bearing liabilities.

i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.

ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

iii) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Derivative instruments Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. As the Group does not qualify for hedging accounting, changes in the fair value of all its derivative instruments are recognised immediately in profit or loss and are included in other income or other expenses. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired.

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. (f) Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (eg in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives and those not yet ready for use. (g) Intangibles Intangible assets that meet the recognition criteria of AASB138 Intangible Assets are capitalized at cost at the date of acquisition. Expenditure on intangible assets that does not meet the recognition criteria is charged against profits in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition the cost model is applied to intangible asset classes. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or infinite. Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is charged against profits in the income statement. The costs of intangible assets with an infinite life are not amortised. Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator or impairment exists and in the case of indefinite lived intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. (i) Intellectual property Intellectual property acquired as part of a business combination is recognised separately from goodwill. Intellectual property is carried at coat, which is its fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Intellectual property is amortised over its useful life commencing from the completion of development. The Company will carry its Intellectual property at cost whilst it is under development and it is subject to annual impairment testing. (ii) Patents and trademarks Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful lives. (iii) Research and development Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (h) Foreign Currency Transaction and Balances Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of the Company is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the entity’s functional and presentation currency. Transaction and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the income statement. (i) Equity settled transactions Options The Company does not currently conduct any formal share-based compensation plans and all equity-settled transactions entered into by the Company are done so, on an individual transaction basis at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Shares The Company established an Executive Incentive Scheme, under which the first allocation of shares was made to the CEO after shareholders’ approval in 2007. The scheme provides that 500,000 Remuneration Shares will be issued to the participating executive, financed by interest free, limited recourse loan, secured only by the proceeds from sale of the shares. The Remuneration Shares were issued on each anniversary of the Company’s admission to the ASX official list being on 21 September 2007 and 2008 and the price at which the Remuneration Shares were be issued was the volume-weighted price of shares traded on ASX in the 30 days prior to each anniversary date. The Remuneration Shares were recorded as being issued free until such time as the shares are sold, when the loan repayment proceeds will be recorded as issued capital. All shares issued under the Executive Incentive Scheme with non-recourse loans are considered to be options and are accounted for in accordance with the note above on options. The maximum number of shares to be issued during the current three year term of the executive’s contract was 1,500,000. (j) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (k) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. (l) Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred, it is treated as the provision of financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method. (m) Borrowing Costs All borrowing costs are expensed in the income in the period in which they are incurred. (n) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. (o) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (p) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. Key Estimates – 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. Key Estimates – Impairment The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations, which incorporate various key assumptions. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. Refer to note 11 for the impairment assessment undertaken in respect of the intangible balance. No impairment was recognised as at 30 June 2011. Key Estimates – Loan to Jess Mining / Gold Mines of Peru Limited The Board has determined that the fair value of the loan to Jess Mining at 30 June 2010 & 2011 to be nil (refer to note 8). The loan is of short-term nature, interest free, but in repayment the Group could receive up to $250,000

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (q) Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. (r) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the Company, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. The diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for: • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been

recognised as expenses; and other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(s) Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (t) Application of the going concern basis The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the settlement of liabilities and realisation of assets in the normal course of business. The directors believe that this basis of accounting is appropriate after considering the following factors:

• The Company has a demonstrated record of being able to raise fund to supplement its working capital as evident from the fact that the Company successfully raised approximately $1.67 million (after costs) during the financial year and additional $898,000 since 30 June 2011.

• The Directors have in place processes to control and monitor the Group’s costs structure via the manner in which the Group has been structured.

• The Group is presently implementing/executing strategies with a view to generating a sustainable source of royalty income.

It is recognised that should the Company not be able to monitor its costs, continue to raise funds or execute its strategy to generate royalty income, the Group may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern. (u) Adoption of new and revised standards The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2010:

• AASB 2009-5 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project

• AASB 2009-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions

• AASB 2009-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Rights Issues • AASB Interpretation 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments and AASB 2009-13

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 19, and • AASB 2010-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements

Project.

The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (v) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods and which the Group has decided not to early adopt. A discussion of those standards which are applicable to the Group and their impact is as follows:

• AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013) This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements.

The key changes made to accounting requirements include:

- simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;

- simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives; - removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;

- removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;

- allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;

- requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and

- requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

• AASB 124: Related Party Disclosures (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after

1 January 2011) This Standard removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities and clarifies the definition of a “related party” to remove inconsistencies and simplify the structure of the Standard. No changes are expected to materially affect the Group.

• AASB 2009–12: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASBs 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 139, 1023 & 1031 and Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 & 1052] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011) This Standard makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. The Standard also amends AASB 8 to require entities to exercise judgment in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. The amendments are not expected to impact the Group.

• AASB 2010–4: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual

Improvements Project [AASB 1, AASB 7, AASB 101 & AASB 134 and Interpretation 13] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011). This Standard details numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to Accounting Standards arising from the IASB’s annual improvements project. Key changes include: - clarifying the application of AASB 108 prior to an entity’s first Australian-Accounting-Standards

financial statements; - adding an explicit statement to AASB 7 that qualitative disclosures should be made in the context of

the quantitative disclosures to better enable users to evaluate an entity’s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments;

Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) - amending AASB 101 to the effect that disaggregation of changes in each component of equity

arising from transactions recognised in other comprehensive income is required to be presented, but is permitted to be presented in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes;

- adding a number of examples to the list of events or transactions that require disclosure under AASB 134; and

- making sundry editorial amendments to various Standards and Interpretations. This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

• AASB 2010–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118, 119, 121, 132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 112, 115, 127, 132 & 1042] (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011) This Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. However, these editorial amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the respective amended pronouncements.

• AASB 2010–6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial

Assets [AASB 1 & AASB 7] (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011) This Standard adds and amends disclosure requirements about transfers of financial assets, especially those in respect of the nature of the financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. Accordingly, this Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, and AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishing additional disclosure requirements in relation to transfers of financial assets.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

• AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013) This Standard makes amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a consequence of the issuance of AASB 9: Financial Instruments in December 2010. Accordingly, these amendments will only apply when the entity adopts AASB 9. As noted above, the Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements from adopting AASB 9.

• AASB 2010–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of

Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB 1] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011) This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards. The amendments brought in by this Standard provide relief for first-time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards. Furthermore, the amendments brought in by this Standard also provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either to resume presenting Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements or to present Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements for the first time.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

• AASB 2010–10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB 2009–11 & AASB 2010–7] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013) This Standard makes amendments to AASB 2009–11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010). The amendments brought in by this Standard ultimately affect AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards and provide relief for first-time adopters from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their transition date.

The advance was made with the approval of the three non-associated directors of the Company at that time and was made on an arm’s length basis as set out in an information memorandum circulated to various parties, including the Company, offering investment into the Jess Mining venture. The advance is not secured by any of the assets of Jess Mining and is to be repaid from the proceeds of alluvial gold mining operations in Peru, to a maximum amount of $250,000, expected to be received during the 2011 financial year. During the 2009/10 financial year, JESS Mining was acquired by Gold Mines of Peru Ltd, a related party sharing common company directors Dr Saliba Sassine and Mr Graeme Boden. Gold Mines of Peru is an Australian company which plans to seek an ASX Listing. Gold Mines of Peru has undertaken to repay the advance from production. At 30 June 2010 Gold Mines of Peru Ltd did not have the means to make the repayment, so the directors made an impairment adjustment to record the receivable at nil value. Gold Mines of Peru anticipate that this amount will be repaid before the next balance date. b) refer to note 21 terms and conditions. All of the Group’s receivable is denominated in Australian Dollars and it does not carrying any foreign exchange risk. Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

Intellectual property with an indefinite useful life is subject to annual impairment testing. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life. The Board of Directors has formed the view that the acquired intellectual properties have indefinite useful life based on the following factors:

• The level of development of both the Vibrovein™ and BreathAssist™ products are still progressing with their utilisation having been demonstrated thus far.

• For both, there exists market need/desirability (albeit a competitive market for the BreathAssist™) and the Board considers that BreathAssist™ has the unique feature of adjustability which is the subject of granted patents and this will be the major differentiator in the marketplace and of interest to users of such devices.

• Vibrovein™, on the other hand, has no known competitors at this point in time but, as a disposable adjunct to inexpensive syringes, may face a price issue.

• The Board is confident that there is a high sales potential at the specialist end of the market where multiple injections in a single procedure are required, such as cosmetic treatments and sclerotherapy, and where pain is associated with injections as a consequence of the material to be injected.

• The Board is not aware of any known factors which would bring into question the Company’s claim to the patents and their validity thereof as at 30 June 2011.

(a) Impairment testing of goodwill and intellectual property (“IP”) Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, which are based on the group’s reporting segments. At 30 June 2011, the group had only a single reporting segment being pharmaceutical. The recoverable amount of the goodwill and intellectual property (“IP”) has been determined by the Board by preparing a value in use calculation. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over the expected product life of the relevant IP with the period extending beyond five years extrapolated using an estimated growth rate. The cash flows were discounted using a discount rate ranging between 15 – 18% at the beginning of the budget period. The budgets reflected the Board’s best estimate of the products’ expected market share and the Company’s expected royalty revenue. Costs were determined taking into account the expected cost structure as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the period. Discount rates used were pre-tax rates.

The Company also engaged the service an of external valuer which specialised in the appraisal and valuation of IP and knowledge-based intangible assets, including in-process R&D (“IPR&D”), which includes amongst other things medical devices, diagnostic systems, pharmaceuticals, genetic and recombinant DNA technologies, stem cell therapies and complementary and alternative medicines. The valuation report supported the Company’s assessment that the IP and goodwill had not been impaired at 30 June 2011. No impairment loss was recognised as a result of the impairment assessment undertaken by the Board of Directors as at 30 June 2011. Note 12: Share Based Payments a) Options The following share-based payment arrangements involving share options existed at 30 June 2011 and 2010.

• In September 2007, 2,000,000 share options were granted to the nominee of DJ Carmichael, the lead broker

in the Initial Public Offering of the company. These share options vested immediately and entitle the option holder to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.20 each on or before 21 September 2011. The options hold no voting or dividend rights, and are not transferable.

• In November 2009, 4,000,000 share options were granted to Mr Peter Abrahamson after being approved at the Annual General Meeting of the Company. These share options vested immediately and entitle the option holder to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.20 each on or before 31 May 2013. The options hold no voting or dividend rights, and are not transferable.

All options granted to key employees are for ordinary shares in Helicon Group Limited and confer a right of one ordinary share for every option held. At balance date no share options had been exercised. The expense recognised in the income statement in relation to share-based payments is disclosed in Note 16(c). The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices of and movements in share options issued during the year:

There were no options exercised during the years ended 30 June 2011 and 2010. All options outstanding at 30 June 2011 had a weighted average exercise of $0.20 (2010: $0.2) and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.36 years (2010: 2.36 years). There were no options granted during the year to effect share based payments. The life of the options is based on the assumption that all options will be exercised close to their expiry date, which may not eventuate. b) Shares On 29 June 2011, amounts payable to suppliers were settled via the issue of 5 million shares (2010: Nil).

Note 17: Financial Instruments, Risk Management Objectives and Policies As disclosed in Section 3 of the Directors’ report, it is the Company’s objective to identify, acquire and commercialise late stage therapeutic delivery technologies. The Company targets high value markets and indications using an acquisition strategy driven by strategic value creation, patent protection and realisation criteria. It has funded its activities from the proceeds of ordinary share capital raisings. Other then the outstanding Put and Call options on the remaining 19% of the issued shares of Leading Edge Instruments as disclosed in Note 20 a & b, the Group’s financial instruments are limited to cash at bank, interest bearing liabilities, receivables and payables. (i) Financial Management The Managing Director approves and monitors actual and budgeted expenditure on an ongoing basis. The Board is provided with monthly financial reports and the Board meets regularly to consider the Group’s financial affairs. Financial modelling of the Group’s future trading operations is an important prospective financial management tool used by the Group for the identification and assessment of potential future financial risks and the development of mitigation strategies. (ii) Financial Risks The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk (price risk and interest rate risk). Credit risk Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties, with the exception of the GST amount owing as at 30 June 2011. Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating.

Note 17: Financial Instruments, Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued) The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period, excluding the value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

• preparing forward-looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; • monitoring undrawn credit facilities; • obtaining funding from a variety of sources; • maintaining a reputable credit profile; • managing credit risk related to financial assets; and • only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions.

Refer to note 1(t) for further information. Market risk This is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income and expenses or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objectives of market risk management are to manage and control market risk exposures. The Group is not exposed to currency risk. Its main market risk exposure is to interest rate risk and price risk. Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates is limited to assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates. In the context of the Group’s financial instruments, interest rate risk is limited to a potential opportunity cost in relation to returns on cash deposits bearing variable interest rate and is managed by the monitoring of short-term deposit rates offered by banks. The Group has minimal borrowings and such borrowing carry a fixed rate of interest. Accordingly, its exposure to interest rate is assessed to be minimal. The interest rate and maturity profile of the Company's financial instruments is as follows:

Price risk The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk through put and call options identified in note 20 a & b. The Group is not exposed to any commodity price risk. Net Fair Values The directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximate their fair value. 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). In 2011 and 2010, none of the Group’s assets and liabilities had their value determined using the fair value hierarchy. Sensitivity Analysis The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to change in interest rates and equity prices. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

The fair value of the consideration paid was determined with reference to the Company’s share price on 24 February 2011, which was assessed as the acquisition date. The remaining 19% of LEI may be acquired provided key performance indicators are met for a further issue of 252,000,000 Shares contingent on the exercise of the put options held by the shareholders of LEI or call option held by Helicon Group Limited. The company has 2 further call options to exercise to acquire the remaining 19% of the voting shares of Leading Edge Instruments Limited. Each option is exercisable for 9.5% of the voting shares. Refer to Note 21 for further details about the options. The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of LEI as at the date of acquisition are calculated as follows: Fair Value Current Assets Cash and Cash Equivalents 12,570 Trade and Other Receivables 106,864 Prepayments 89,900 Total Current Assets 209,334 Non Current Assets Intellectual Property 9,566,217 Plant & Equipment 15,792 Total Non Current Assets 9,582,009 Total Assets 9,791,343 Current Liabilities Trade and Other Payables (557,542) Interest Bearing Liability (38,733) Total Current Liabilities (596,275) Net identifiable assets acquired 9,195,068 Less: Non-controlling Interest (1,747,063) Add: Goodwill 4,951,995 Net Assets Acquired 12,400,000

Had the results relating to Leading Edge Instruments Limited been consolidated from 1 July 2010, the consolidated loss of the consolidated group would have been $1,577,912, however total revenue would have not changed. The loss has been calculated using the group’s accounting policies. The goodwill is attributable to the knowledge and experience of key management personnel of LEI. There were no business combinations during the year ended 30 June 2010. F
