A provision has been recognised for employee entitlements relating to long service leave. In calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long service leave being taken is based on historical data.

 

(i)Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months

 

The current provision for long service leave includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. Majority of the balance is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued long service leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

6Events occurring after the reporting period

 

On 17 July 2024 Alterity Therapeutics announced positive interim data from the ATH434-202 phase 2 clinical trial. The interim analysis included clinical and biomarker data on participants treated with ATH434, as well as neuroimaging data.

 

As announced on 18 July 2024, the Group issued 75,220,800 shares at $0.0054 per share through the use of its “at market” (ATM) facility amounting to $406,192. This will fund working capital and progress its research and development activities.

 

No other matter or circumstance has occurred subsequent to year end that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group or economic entity in subsequent financial years.

 

7Significant estimates and assumptions

 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

The Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Group”) makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below.

 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

(a)Going Concern

 

The Group expects to continue incurring losses into the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional capital to continue the long-term development of its planned research and development programs. Cash and cash equivalents on hand as at 30 June 2024 was $12,638,885. The Group intends to raise additional equity funding within the next year to enable further progression of its planned research and development programs, however there is uncertainty associated with its ability to successfully raise such funds in the time and amounts needed to meet its requirements.

 

The inability to obtain funding as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Group’s financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. If the Group is unable to obtain the required funding to operate and to develop and commercialise its product candidates, it could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, which would adversely affect its business prospects.

 

As a result, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and that it may be unable to realise its assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the directors believe that it will be successful in the above matters and accordingly have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realisation of assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business.
