Capital management<br />
When managing capital, the Board’s objective is to ensure the Group continues as a going concern as<br />
well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management<br />
also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity.<br />
The Board may in the future adjust the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital<br />
and issue further shares in the market.<br />
Management monitors capital by reviewing the level of cash on hand, future revenue streams and<br />
assessing the impact of possible future commitments in respect of the potential capital structure that<br />
would be required to meet those potential commitments.<br />

Nature and purpose of other reserves<br />
The share option reserve is used to recognise the value of options or performance rights issued in lieu<br />
of cash payments, issued to employees and Key Management Personnel as remuneration, and to<br />
recognise the proceeds received on issue of options and performance rights.<br />
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the value of shares issued in lieu of cash<br />
payments and is allocated the vested portion of the employee share purchase plan over the vesting<br />
period.<br />
The other reserve covers the equity component of the issued convertible notes. The liability component<br />
is reflected in financial liabilities. It also includes the change of value in the collateral shares issued,<br />
refunded and reissued.<br />
