NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

8. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and other receivables and liabilities<br />

(continued)<br />

(i)<br />

Other receivables<br />

Other receivables are amounts that generally arise from transactions outside the usual<br />

operating activities of the Group. They are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for<br />

expected credit losses. The Company assessed the balance in other receivables for expected<br />

credit losses but they were deemed to have no material impact.<br />

(ii) Research and development rebate receivable<br />

In early 2019, the Company lodged a formal appeal with AusIndustry regarding its initial<br />

decision that the Company’s activities were ‘ineligible R&D claims’ for the FY17 and FY18<br />

periods. On 24 February <strong>2020</strong> the Company was advised that AusIndustry had completed its<br />

review of its initial decision and subsequently found that most of the Company’s R&D activities<br />

for these periods were in fact eligible and as a result, the Company finalised its FY17 to FY19<br />

tax returns which include the relevant R&D rebate for those periods. The Company also<br />

estimated the R&D rebate for the <strong>2020</strong> financial year. In 2021 the receivable includes only the<br />

FY21 R & D rebate estimate.<br />

(iii) Trade receivables<br />

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised<br />

cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses as per<br />

AASB 9 Financial Instruments. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30<br />

days.<br />

Information about the methods and assumptions used in determining fair value is provided in<br />

note 8(g). Information about the impairment of trade and other receivables, their credit quality<br />

and the group’s exposure to credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk can be found<br />

in note 9.<br />

(iv) Fair values of trade and other receivables<br />

Due to their short-term nature, their carrying amount is approximate to their fair value.<br />

Information about the methods and assumptions used in determining fair value is provided in<br />

note 8(g). Information about the impairment of trade and other receivables, their credit quality<br />

and the Group’s exposure to credit risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk can be found<br />

in note 9.<br />
