For the financial year ending 30 June 2005, after deducting the outside equity interest, the loss attributable to members of pSivida is $14,726,523 (2004: $3,683,205). The operating loss includes $8,287,930 (2004: $7,011,666) (an average of $690,661 per month) of research and development costs expended by pSiMedica and administrative expenses, including unrealised foreign exchange losses, NASDAQ listing costs, goodwill amortisation and salaries and costs relating to the head office totalling $7,666,765 (2004: $888,961) (an average of $638,897 per month).
 
The ratio of Research and Development expenditure to total costs is 68.8% (2004: 88.7%) after the deduction of unrealised foreign exchange losses, pSiMedica acquisition costs, direct NASDAQ listing costs and goodwill amortisation from total costs.
 
The research and development costs expended by pSiMedica are minimised by the use of QinetiQ facilities in Malvern on a contract basis under a facilities agreement with QinetiQ.
 
On 4 August 2004 the Company completed the $58 million acquisition of the pSiMedica shares that it did not already own with pSiMedica becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Immediately following the acquisition, QinetiQ held 35,699,629 ordinary shares in pSivida Limited, which constituted approximately 17.5% of the issued shares of the Company.
 
On 24 August 2004, the Company incorporated AION Diagnostics Limited, an Australian resident wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to focus on developing the diagnostic applications of BioSiliconTM.
 
A total of 15,570,000 options with exercise prices ranging between 20 cents and 65 cents, were exercised during the financial year, raising a total of $3,666,500.
 
In January 2005 the Company announced that its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) had commenced trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the ticker symbol PSDV. The ADRs trade on a 10:1 ratio to the Company’s ordinary shares.
 
As at 30 June 2005 the consolidated cash position was $12,892,061 (2004: $31,350,656) and the Company had 219,312,166 (2004: 153,937,785) shares on issue.

None
 

14.6 Report any factors which have affected the results during the reporting period or which are likely to affect results in the future, including those where the effect could not be quantified.

 
 
Impacts of adopting Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards
 
(a) Management of the transition to AIFRS
 
pSivida Limited will be required to prepare financial statements that comply with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”) for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. Accordingly, pSivida’s first half-year report prepared under AIFRS will be for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2005, and its first annual financial report prepared under AIFRS will be for the year ended 30 June 2006.
 
In 2004 the Company commenced a review of accounting policies in preparation for managing the transition to AIFRS. Priority has been given to considering the preparation of an opening balance sheet in accordance with AIFRS as at 1 July 2004, the Company’s transition date to AIFRS. This will form the basis of accounting for AIFRS in the future and is required when the Company prepares its first fully AIFRS compliant financial report for the year ended 30 June 2006.
 
(b) The likely impacts of AIFRS on the results and financial position of the Company and the consolidated entity
 
Set out below are the key areas where accounting policies are expected to change on adoption of AIFRS and the likely impacts on the current year result and financial position of the Company and consolidated entity had the financial statements been prepared using AIFRS, based on the directors’ accounting policy decisions current at the date of this financial report. Readers of the financial report should note that the disclosures below represent the Company’s best estimates of the quantitative impact of the AIFRS implementation at the date of this report. The actual effects of AIFRS transition may differ from these estimates due to further developments in AIFRS and interpretations thereof issued by the standard setters and IFRIC or emerging accepted practice in the interpretation and application of AIFRS and UIG Interpretations, which may result in changes to the accounting policy decisions made by the directors and, consequently, the likely impacts outlined below.
 
 
 
Page 9


Appendix 4E
Preliminary final report
Year ended 30 June 2005
 

 
 
The directors may, at any time until the completion of the consolidated entity’s first AIFRS compliant financial report, elect to revisit, and where considered necessary, revise the accounting policies applied in preparing the disclosures below.
 
(c) Adjustments to balance sheet items under AIFRS (net of tax)
 
(i) Intangibles
Under AASB 3 Business Combinations, goodwill would not be permitted to be amortised but instead is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or upon triggers which may indicate a potential impairment. As a result accumulated amortisation of $973,923 (Company: Nil) (all expensed during the 2005 year) would be added back to the value of intangibles.
 
(ii) Share-based payments
Under AASB 2 Share-Based Payment, equity-settled share-based payments in respect of equity instruments issued after 7 November 2002 that were unvested as at 1 January 2005 are measured at fair value at grant date. The fair value determined at grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the estimated number of equity instruments that will vest. As a consequence, contributed equity will increase by $396,677 (Company: $396,677) for the financial year ended 30 June 2005.
 
(iii) Foreign currency translation reserve
The directors have elected to set the translation reserve to zero as at AIFRS transition as permitted under AASB 1 First-Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. This results in the transfer of $78,220 (Company: Nil) from the foreign currency translation reserve to retained earnings as at AIFRS transition.
 
(iv) Accumulated losses
With limited exceptions, adjustments required on first-time adoption of AIFRS are recognised directly in accumulated losses at the date of transition to AIFRS. The cumulative effect of these adjustments for the consolidated entity will be an increase in opening accumulated losses of $78,220 (Company: Nil).
 
(d) Adjustments to current year loss under AIFRS (net of tax)
 
(i) Intangibles
Under AASB 3 Business Combinations, goodwill would not be permitted to be amortised but instead is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or upon triggers which may indicate a potential impairment. As a result amortisation expense of $973,923 (Company: Nil) would be added back to the net loss for the year.
 
(ii) Share-based payments
Under AASB 2 Share-Based Payment, equity-settled share-based payments in respect of equity instruments issued after 7 November 2002 that were unvested as at 1 January 2005 are measured at fair value at grant date. The fair value determined at grant date of equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the estimated number of equity instruments that will vest. As a consequence, an additional employee benefit expense of $309,642 (Company: $309,642) and consultancy fees expense of $87,035 (Company $87,035) will be recognised in the profit and loss for the financial year ended 30 June 2005.
 
(e) Other impacts
 
Management has decided to apply the exemption provided in AASB 1 First-Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards which permits entities not to restate business combinations under that occurred prior to the date of transition to AIFRS. Business combinations occurring after the date of transition will be subject to the provisions of AASB 3 Business Combinations.
 
Management has decided to apply the exemption provided in AASB 1 First-Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards which permits entities not to apply the requirements of AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and Disclosures and AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for the financial year ended 30 June 2005. The standards will be applied from 1 July 2005. Management is in the process of determining the impact that adopting the standards would have on the financial statements of the consolidated entity.
 
Under AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, the consolidated entity’s assets, including goodwill would be tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which they belong, and any impairment losses recognised in the income statement. At this stage in the Company’s review process the Company is not aware of any impairment issues that would result in a material adjustment to the financial statements.
 
No material impacts are expected to the cash flows presented under current AGAAP on adoption of AIFRS.

Preliminary final report
Year ended 30 June 2005
 

 
 
(f) Acquisition of minority interest
 
During the year the Company purchased minority interests in controlled entity pSiMedica Limited. Under current AGAAP this acquisition has been accounted for separately from other acquisitions (that is, as a step acquisition, which involved the separate determination and recognition of the fair values of the net assets of the subsidiary and any goodwill arising on the acquisition).
 
AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements requires minority interests to be classified as equity. Consequently the acquisition by the Company of additional ownership interests in pSiMedica Limited represents an equity transaction. As such, accounting for the transaction as a step acquisition is inappropriate. The financial effect of the adjustment required on the restatement of the 30 June 2005 accounts is yet to be determined.
