inTRoDuCing AppnoTEs A new, highly targeted marketing option from Lab+Life scientist
WHAT IS IT?
AppNotes are one-page ‘application articles’ covering the technology, application or performance of a new product or technique
relevant to those working in analytical, environmental, life science, medical and research laboratories.
WHO CAN SUBMIT AN APPNOTE?
Any company that supplies products or services to the research, analytical, biotech and life science sectors. A maximum of SIX
AppNotes will appear in any single issue of Lab+Life Scientist and are available on a first-booked basis.
WHAT FORMAT ARE SUBMISSIONS TO BE MADE IN?
All AppNotes are subject to editorial approval and may be edited to fit the guidelines below. the AppNote should focus on the
application or technique, not on the vendor organisation or technical product details.
HOW WILL APPNOTES APPEAR IN THE MAGAZINE, AND IS THERE WEB AND ENEWS COVERAGE?
AppNotes will have their own section in each
issue of Lab+Life Scientist and will appear on
consecutive pages. they will run following the main
feature articles, news and interviews, and before the
New Products section. AppNotes will have their own
section on both Labonline and LifeScientist websites
and will also be published in one site update
eNewsletter.
PRICE
AppNotes are available at the same price as a
standard full-page advertisement.
AppNotes are 550–600 words and must include one image (photo or graph/table). Use the below as a formatting guide.
• Title (up to 60 characters) plus abstract (up to 25 words)
• Introduction
• Description of the technology underlying the product/technique
• Flexibility of application• Conclusion (outcome/result)• URL of supplier’s website and company logo
IMAge: high resolution tiff or jpeg (300 dpi and 13.5 cm min).
Logo: eps (preferred), tiff or jpeg (300 dpi).

When the changes to Employee Share Schemes (ESSs)
were announced in 2009, the measures were predicted
by industry to result in less incentive for employees
and greater administrative costs for companies, and
subsequently result in companies turning away from
the use of such schemes. It was feared that the changes,
notably the taxing of shares upon issue instead of
when a profit is realised, would undermine innovation
in start-up biotechnology companies and there was a
significant ground swell of opposition.
And so it was. Anecdotally, many start-up companies
in the biotechnology sector reported grudgingly turning
to alternative, less satisfactory, methods to retain,
incentivise and reward employees.
In the months after the changes were implemented,
AusBiotech spoke with key accounting firms, made a
submission to the government in 2009 and began to
advocate on behalf of its members - and continues
to call for a repeal of the changes. This new burden
on companies seemed to be aimed at the top end of
town and had wrongly captured small, rapidly growing
companies that often do not have the ability to reward
employees with cash and so use shares and options as
incentives and future rewards.
Most start-up companies are funded by means other
than sales revenue, such as venture capital or share
issues, and require those funds to conduct research and
development and prepare a product to earn revenue. In
this ‘cash pressed’ state they often rely on the support of
ESSs to attract quality employees, and are an important
support in enabling innovative start-up companies to
establish. ESSs complement cash remuneration, making
a salary package appear more substantive and attractive,
in addition to the mutual benefit of giving employees a
vested interest in the success of the company.
The importance of ESSs is especially poignant and
amplified in the biotechnology sector, where the pre-
revenue phase is typically extended by the need to
clear regulatory hurdles before revenue can be earned
- sometimes by more than a decade - and the cash
required to reach regulatory approval.
Last year a Review of ESSs was instigated and
concluded in February 2014. AusBiotech recommended
to the review that taxing shares should occur at the
time of liquidation/realisation, when market valuation
is known, rather than at the time of issue, when value
is uncertain.
Many employers in a start-up context cannot offer
market salaries, so an ESS enables them to compete
for appropriately qualified talent.
An ESS works best as an incentive when tax is paid
on success. If tax is charged pre-success or pre-gain,
the shares come as a cost to the employee, with the tax
payable before any value is generated. It is even worse
when the share loses value, becomes worthless or is
diluted when more shares are issued. This is comparable
to paying income tax before you earn any income or
paying tax in advance for an income that you may or
may not receive. This method of taxation is a disincentive
and disadvantages start-up innovative companies during
the establishment and development phases.
Furthermore, the current situation of pre-gain tax
means that companies must provide valuations of their
capitalisation value, for use by the ATO. Biotechnology
companies are notoriously difficult - and therefore
expensive - to value. It is an inexact process, fraught
with uncertainty.
