Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Organization of the Company
We are a specialist medical diagnostics company focused on the research, development and manufacture of in vitro diagnostic test devices for consumer and professional point-of-care use.
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 14, 2001 and our shares of common stock in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) since December 13, 2006. Our securities are not currently traded on any other public market. Our wholly owned subsidiary and primary operating vehicle, UBS, was incorporated as a proprietary limited company in Australia on September 21, 2001. UBS conducts our research, development and manufacturing activities in Melbourne, Australia.
We have rights to an extensive patent portfolio, with certain patents owned by UBS and a number licensed to UBS by LifeScan, Inc. (LifeScan) and other third party licensees. Unless otherwise noted, references to LifeScan in this document are references collectively or individually to LifeScan, Inc., and/or LifeScan Europe, a division of Cilag GmbH International, both affiliates of Johnson and Johnson.
We are using our electrochemical cell technology platform to develop tests for a number of different markets. Our current focus is as set out below:
| Coagulation testing market we are working with Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. (Siemens) to develop a range of products for the point-of-care coagulation market pursuant to a collaboration agreement with Siemens (Collaboration Agreement) and, subject to being approved for sale, plan to manufacture test strips for these products under a supply agreement with Siemens (Supply Agreement). We are also developing our own Prothrombin Time International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR) test targeted at the patient self-test market and intend to enter into distribution agreements with respect to that test. We received our first commercial order from Siemens for the production of PT-INR test strips. The responsibility for obtaining regulatory approvals and the final decision to launch the product rests with Siemens. |
| Blood glucose we expect to provide services to LifeScan as required from time to time, pursuant to a Master Services and Supply Agreement (Master Services and Supply Agreement) and a development and research agreement (Development and Research Agreement) with LifeScan. |
| Other electrochemical-cell based tests we are working on proving the broader applicability of our technology platform, including tests based on enzymatic, immunoassay and molecular diagnostic methods. We may seek to enter into collaborative arrangements, strategic alliances or distribution agreements with respect to any tests arising from this work. |
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Form 10-K of Universal Biosensors, Inc.
The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheets data as at December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Basis of Presentation
All amounts within these consolidated financial statements are expressed in Australian dollars (AUD or A$) unless otherwise stated.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. We rely largely on our existing cash and cash equivalents balance and operating cash flow to provide for the working capital needs of our operations. We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. However, in the event, our financing needs for the foreseeable future are not able to be met by our existing cash and cash equivalents balance and operating cash flow, we would seek to raise funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, and through other means to meet the financing requirements. There is no assurance that funding would be available at acceptable terms, if at all.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, UBS. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, deferred income taxes, asset retirement obligations and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash & Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
Short-Term Investments (Held-to-maturity)
Short-term investments constitute all highly liquid investments with term to maturity from three months to twelve months. The carrying amount of short-term investments is equivalent to their fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable consist of financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk to the extent of the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The Companys cash and cash equivalents are invested with one of Australias largest banks. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the banks holding the cash or cash equivalents to the extent of the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has not identified any collectability issues with respect to receivables.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange arising from operating, investing and financing activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognized immediately in the income statement. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Cash flow hedges
Exposure to foreign exchange risks arises in the normal course of the Companys business and it is the Companys policy to use forward exchange contracts to hedge anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currencies. The amount of forward cover taken is in accordance with approved policy and internal forecasts.
Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognized asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction, the effective part of any unrealized gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognized directly in equity. When the forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
For cash flow hedges, other than those covered by the preceding statement, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and on the same line item as that hedged forecast transaction. The ineffective part of any gain or loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the Company revokes designation of the hedge relationship but the hedged forecast transaction is still probable to occur, the cumulative gain or loss at that point remains in equity and is recognized in accordance with the above policy when the transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, then the cumulative unrealized gain or loss recognized in equity is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider our own and counterparty credit risk. At June 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013, we did not have any assets or liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs. The valuation of our foreign exchange derivatives are based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as forward rates and incorporate non-performance risk (the credit standing of the counterparty when the derivative is in a net asset position, and the credit standing of the Company when the derivative is in a net liability position). Our derivative assets are categorized as Level 2.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to dispose. Inventories are principally determined under the average cost method which approximates cost. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost also includes the transfer from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges relating to purchases of raw material. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts.

Receivables
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectability, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due. The current year expense to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of machinery and equipment is 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, include normal services, and do not include items of a capital nature.
The Company receives Victorian government grant monies under grant agreements to support our development activities, including in connection with the purchase of plant and equipment. Plant and equipment is presented net of the government grant. The grant monies are recognized against the acquisition costs of the related plant and equipment as and when the related assets are purchased.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to further the Groups research and development activities and include salaries and related employee benefits, costs associated with clinical trial and preclinical development, regulatory activities, research-related overhead expenses, costs associated with the manufacture of clinical trial material, costs associated with developing a commercial manufacturing process, costs for consultants and related contract research, facility costs and depreciation. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740 - Income Taxes which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from a companys activities during the current and preceding years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Where it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and Australia. U.S. federal income tax returns up to and including the 2012 financial year have been filed. Internationally, consolidated income tax returns up to and including the 2013 financial year have been filed.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations (ARO) are legal obligations associated with the retirement and removal of long-lived assets. ASC 410 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation when it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amounts of the related property, plant and equipment. Over time, the liability increases for the change in its present value, while the capitalized cost depreciates over the useful life of the asset. The Company derecognizes ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled.
The ARO is in relation to our premises where in accordance with the terms of the lease, the lessee has to restore part of the building upon vacating the premises.
Our overall ARO changed as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of all current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of all other amounts has been determined, depending on the nature and complexity of the assets or the liability, by using one or all of the following approaches:
| Market approach based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| Cost approach based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence. |
| Income approach based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows |
These fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:
| Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs) |
| Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable (Level 2 inputs) |
| Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs) |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its capital assets, including patents and licenses, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In performing the review, the Company estimates undiscounted cash flows from products under development that are covered by these patents and licenses. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows.
Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from all sources based on the provisions of the U.S. SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 and ASC 605 Revenue Recognition.
The Companys revenue represents revenue from sales of products, provision of services and collaborative research and development agreements.
We recognize revenue from sales of products at the time title of goods passes to the buyer and the buyer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Generally, this is at the time products are shipped to the customer.

Revenue from services is recognized when a persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue recognition principles are assessed for each new contractual arrangement and the appropriate accounting is determined for each service.
Where our agreements contain multiple elements, or deliverables, such as the manufacture and sale of products, provision of services or research and development activities, they are assessed to determine whether separate delivery of the individual elements of such arrangements comprises more than one unit of accounting. Where an arrangement can be divided into separate units of accounting (each unit constituting a separate earnings process), the arrangement consideration is allocated amongst those varying units based on the relative selling price of the separate units of accounting and the applicable revenue recognition criteria applied to the separate units. Selling prices are determined using fair value as determined by either vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of the selling price, when available, or the Companys best estimate of selling price when fair value is not available for a given unit of accounting.
Under ASC 605-25, the delivered item(s) are separate units of accounting, provided (i) the delivered item(s) have value to a customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control. Where the arrangement cannot be divided into separate units, the individual deliverables are combined as a single unit of accounting and the total arrangement consideration is recognized across other deliverables in the arrangement or over the estimated collaboration period. Payments under these arrangements typically include one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront payments; funding of research and/or development efforts; and milestone payments.
We typically generate milestone payments from our customers pursuant to the various agreements we have with them. Non-refundable milestone payments which represent the achievement of a significant technical/regulatory hurdle in the research and development process pursuant to collaborative agreements, and are deemed to be substantive, are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the specified milestone. If the non-refundable milestone payment is not substantive or stand-alone value, the non-refundable milestone payment is deferred and recognized as revenue either over the estimated performance period stipulated in the agreement or across other deliverables in the arrangement.
Management has concluded that the core operations of the Company are expected to be research and development activities, commercial manufacture of approved medical or testing devices and the provision of services. The Companys ultimate goal is to utilize the underlying technology and skill base for the development of marketable products that the Company will manufacture. The Company considers revenue from the sales of products, revenue from services and the income received from milestone payments indicative of its core operating activities or revenue producing goals of the Company, and as such have accounted for this income as revenues.
Product and Service Agreements
In October 2007, the Company and LifeScan entered into a Master Services and Supply Agreement, under which the Company would provide certain services to LifeScan in the field of blood glucose monitoring and act as a non-exclusive manufacturer of blood glucose test strips. The Master Services and Supply Agreement was subsequently amended and restated in May 2009. The Company has concluded the Master Services and Supply Agreement should be accounted for as three separate units of accounting: 1) research and development to assist LifeScan in receiving regulatory clearance to sell the blood glucose product (milestone payment), 2) contract manufacturing of the blood glucose test strips (contract manufacturing) which ceased in December 2013, and 3) ongoing services and efforts to enhance the product (product enhancement).
All consideration within the Master Services and Supply Agreement is contingent. The Company concluded the undelivered items were not priced at a significant incremental discount to the delivered items and revenue for each deliverable will be recognized as each contingency is met and the consideration becomes fixed and determinable. The milestone payment was considered to be a substantive payment and the entire amount has been recognized as revenue when the regulatory approval was received. Revenues for contract manufacturing and ongoing efforts to enhance the product are recognized as revenue from products or revenue from services, respectively, when the four basic criteria for revenue recognition are met.

Research and Development Agreement
On September 9, 2011 the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Siemens to develop coagulation related products for hospital point-of-care and ambulatory care coagulation markets. In addition to an up-front, non-refundable payment of A$2,961,245 (equivalent to US$3 million), the Collaboration Agreement contained a further six payments from Siemens upon the achievement of certain defined milestones. These six milestones relate to feasibility, regulatory submissions and the launch of the products to be developed. The Company has concluded that the up-front payment is not a separate unit of accounting and recorded the amount as deferred revenue to be recognized as revenue across other deliverables in the arrangement with Siemens based upon the Companys best estimate of selling price. The deliverables related to each milestone are considered substantive and are not priced at a significant incremental discount to the other deliverables. As the achievement of the milestones is contingent upon a future event, the revenue for each deliverable will be recognized as the contingencies are met and the consideration becomes fixed and determinable.
Of the six milestones, the Company has delivered on two as of June 30, 2014:
| In June 2012, the Company delivered on its first milestone by achieving proof of technical feasibility of a new test strip and received a payment of A$1,522,534 (equivalent to US$1.5 million) as consideration. A sum of A$2,175,048 (equivalent to US$2,142,857) has been recognized as revenue from services in June 2012 in this regards. |
| In July 2012, the Company delivered on its second milestone by achieving proof of technical feasibility of another new test strip and received a payment of A$1,438,711 (equivalent to US$1.5 million) as consideration. A sum of A$2,055,301 (equivalent to US$2,142,857) has been recognized as revenue from services in July 2012 in this regards. |
There were no revenues recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 relating to the delivery of the milestones pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement. Of the total amount of A$4,230,349 (equivalent to US$4,285,714) recognized as revenue for the 2012 financial year, A$2,961,245 (equivalent to US$3.0 million) relates to the achievement of the two milestones whilst the balance relates to a portion of the deferred US$3 million up-front payment allocated to these milestones based upon their relative estimate of selling price.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the cash and cash equivalents.
Research and development tax incentive income
Research and development tax incentive income is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the income will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred, and the consideration can be reliably measured.
The Company has recorded research and development tax incentive income of A$1,729,498 and A$3,720,149 under the caption Other in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. There was no research and development tax incentive income recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as the criteria was not met.
Foreign Currency
Functional and reporting currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Groups entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of the Company and UBS is AUD or A$ for all years presented.

Table of Contents
Universal Biosensors, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The consolidated financial statements are presented using a reporting currency of Australian dollars.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company has recorded foreign currency transaction gains/(losses) of (A$29,259) and A$755,415 for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and (A$45,556) and A$709,063 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the reporting currency are translated into the reporting currency as follows:
| assets and liabilities for each balance sheet item reported are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; |
| income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and |
| all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity. |
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are taken to the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Our contingent liabilities as at June 30, 2014 are as follows:
| we have a potential obligation to pay 50% of the patent fees paid by LifeScan in respect of the patents we license from LifeScan prior to the date of the first commercial sale of a non-glucose product that utilizes the technology licensed from LifeScan and 50% of the patent fees incurred by LifeScan in respect of such patents thereafter. In the event of the first commercial sale of a non-glucose product, the initial amount that could be paid by us to LifeScan is projected to be between US$1.3 million to US$1.6 million. We would have the right to make this payment either as a lump sum within 45 days of receipt of the supporting documentation from LifeScan or in equal monthly installment payments during the 24 months subsequent to the date of receipt of the supporting documentation. Currently the non-glucose products continue to be in the research and development phase. |
| during 2009, LifeScan chose not to proceed with the registration of the then current product but to proceed with an enhanced product, called OneTouch® Verio®, and acknowledged that there would be a delay as a result. As a result of this change, LifeScan agreed to pay additional amounts per strip manufactured by us in 2010 and 2011 up to a specified volume limit (manufacturing initiation payments). At the same time, we agreed to pay LifeScan a marketing support payment in each of the two years following the first year in which 1 billion strips are sold by LifeScan equal to 40% of the total manufacturing initiation payments made. The total amount of marketing support payments expected to be paid to LifeScan is approximately US$2 million. Based on the current volume of strips sold by LifeScan and that we have no visibility of future sales by LifeScan, it is uncertain whether we would be required to make this marketing support payment. |
| we have engaged Planet Innovation Pty Ltd (Planet Innovation) to assist us with design and engineering for future analyzers. As part of the agreement, Planet Innovation will be paid a success payment upon the formal acceptance of the analyzer for commercial manufacture and a further success payment on launch sign-off for the first commercial sale of the analyzer. All of the analyzers Planet Innovation are currently working on are in the research and development phases, and therefore at this stage their commercial manufacture and sale and the amount of any future success payment cannot be reliably estimated. |

Patent and License Costs
Legal and maintenance fees incurred for patent application costs have been charged to expense and reported in research and development expense. Legal and maintenance fees incurred for patents relating to commercialized products are capitalized and amortized over the life of the patents.
Clinical Trial Expenses
Clinical trial costs are a component of research and development expenses. These expenses include fees paid to participating hospitals and other service providers, which conduct certain testing activities on behalf of the Company. Depending on the timing of payments to the service providers and the level of service provided, the Company records prepaid or accrued expenses relating to these costs.
These prepaid or accrued expenses are based on estimates of the work performed under service agreements.
Leased Assets
All of the Companys leases for the periods ending June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are considered operating leases. The costs of operating leases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Stock-based Compensation
We measure stock-based compensation at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognize the cost as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Trinomial Lattice model. We also grant our employees Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Zero Priced Employee Options (ZEPOs). RSUs are stock awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. ZEPOs are stock options granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. The value of RSUs are determined and fixed on the grant date based on the Companys stock price. The exercise price of ZEPOs is nil.
We record deferred tax assets for awards that will result in deductions on our income tax returns, based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and our statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which we will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported in our income tax return are recorded in expense or in capital in excess of par value if the tax deduction exceeds the deferred tax assets or to the extent that previously recognized credits to paid-in-capital are still available if the tax deduction is less than the deferred tax asset.
(a) | Stock Option Plan |
In 2004, the Company adopted an employee option plan (Plan). Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan to any person considered by the board to be employed by the Group on a permanent basis (whether full time, part time or on a long term casual basis). Each option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one share of common stock. The total number of options that may be issued under the Plan is such maximum amount permitted by law and the Listing Rules of the ASX. The exercise price and any exercise conditions are determined by the board at the time of grant of the options. Any exercise conditions must be satisfied before the options vest and become capable of exercise. The options lapse on such date determined by the board at the time of grant or earlier in accordance with the Plan. Options granted to date have had a term up to 10 years and generally vest in equal tranches over three years.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
An option holder is not permitted to participate in a bonus issue or new issue of securities in respect of an option held prior to the issue of shares to the option holder pursuant to the exercise of an option. If the Company changes the number of issued shares through, or as a result of, any consolidation, subdivision, or similar reconstruction of the issued capital of the Company, the total number of options and the exercise price of the options (as applicable) will likewise be adjusted.
In accordance with ASC 718, the fair value of the option grants was estimated on the date of each grant using the Trinomial Lattice model. The assumptions for these grants were:

(b) Restricted Share Plan
Our Employee Share Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in 2009. The Employee Share Plan permits our Board to grant shares of our common stock to our employees and directors (although our Board has determined not to issue equity to non-executive directors). The number of shares able to be granted is limited to the amount permitted to be granted at law, the ASX Listing Rules and by the limits on our authorized share capital in our certificate of incorporation. All our employees are eligible for shares under the Employee Share Plan. The Company currently proposes to continue to issue A$1,000 worth of RSUs to employees of the Company on a recurring basis, but no more frequently than

annually. The restricted shares have the same terms of issue as our existing shares of common stock but are not able to be traded until the earlier of three years from the date on which the shares are issued or the date the relevant employee ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its associated group of companies.

Employee Benefit Costs
The Company contributes to standard defined contribution superannuation funds on behalf of all employees. This contribution amount, formerly equal to 9% of each employees salary, was increased by law to 9.25% from July 1, 2013 of each such employees salary. Superannuation is a compulsory savings program whereby employers are required to pay a portion of an employees remuneration to an approved superannuation fund that the employee is typically not able to access until they are retired. The Company permits employees to choose an approved and registered superannuation fund into which the contributions are paid. Contributions are charged to the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income as they become payable.
Net Loss per Share and Anti-dilutive Securities
Basic and diluted net loss per share is presented in conformity with ASC 260 Earnings per Share. Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Other than in a profit making year, the potentially dilutive options issued under the Universal Biosensors Employee Option Plan were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive given the Companys loss making position.
Total Comprehensive Income
The Company follows ASC 220 Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is defined as the total change in shareholders equity during the period other than from transactions with shareholders, and for the Company, includes net income and cumulative translation adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.
The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the revenue model to contracts within its scope, an entity will:
| Identify the contract(s) with a customer (step 1). |
| Identify the performance obligations in the contract (step 2). |
| Determine the transaction price (step 3). |
| Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract (step 4). |
| Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation (step 5). |
The ASU applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Certain of the ASUs provisions also apply to transfers of nonfinancial assets, including in-substance nonfinancial assets that are not an output of an entitys ordinary activities (e.g., sales of (1) property, plant, and equipment; (2) real estate; or (3) intangible assets). Existing accounting guidance applicable to these transfers (e.g., ASC 360-20) has been amended or superseded.
Compared with current U.S. GAAP, the ASU also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition.
The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016, for public entities. Early application is not permitted (however, early adoption is optional for entities reporting under IFRSs).
17

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU:
| Full retrospective application Retrospective application would take into account the requirements in ASC 250 (with certain practical expedients). |
| Modified retrospective application Under the modified approach, an entity recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application (revenue in periods presented in the financial statements before that date is reported under guidance in effect before the change). Using this approach, an entity applies the guidance in the ASU to existing contracts (those for which the entity has remaining performance obligations) as of, and new contracts after, the date of initial application. The ASU is not applied to contracts that were completed before the effective date (i.e., an entity has no remaining performance obligations to fulfill). Entities that elect the modified approach must disclose an explanation of the impact of adopting the ASU, including the financial statement line items and respective amounts directly affected by the standards application. |
The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
Related Party Transactions
Details of related party transactions material to the operations of the Group other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business, are set out below.

Athyrium Credit Agreement
On December 19, 2013 (Closing Date), UBI and its wholly owned subsidiary, UBS (together UBI and UBS, the Transaction Parties) entered into a credit agreement with Athyrium Opportunities Fund (A) LP (Athyrium A), as administrative agent (the Administrative Agent) and as a lender, and Athyrium Opportunities Fund (B) LP (Athyrium B) as a lender (Athyrium A and Athyrium B together with any other lenders party thereto from time to time, the Lenders) for a secured term loan of up to US$25 million (Credit Agreement). Of this amount, US$15 million had been drawn at December 31, 2013, with a further US$10 million available to be drawn down as follows:
| US$5 million available within 30 days after the end of any quarter until January 30, 2015, conditional upon UBS satisfying certain conditions precedent including that in the immediately preceding quarter, UBS achieves quarterly service fee revenues from the sale of the OneTouch® Verio® blood glucose strips (Verio QSFs) plus coagulation manufacturing revenues of not less than US$1,800,000 in the aggregate; and |
| US$5 million available within 30 days after the end of any quarter until January 30, 2015, conditional upon UBS satisfying certain conditions precedent including that in the immediately preceding quarter, UBS achieves Verio QSFs plus coagulation manufacturing revenues of not less than US$2,500,000 in the aggregate. |
The term loan has a maturity date of December 19, 2018 (Maturity Date) and bears interest at 10.5% per annum payable in cash quarterly in arrears over the five year term, and as otherwise described in the Credit Agreement. A default interest rate of 13% per annum shall apply during the existence of a default under the Credit Agreement. Other than as summarized below, UBS is not required to make payments of principal for amounts outstanding under the term loan until maturity, December 19, 2018. The term loan under the Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of UBI and UBS assets. UBI (together with any future subsidiaries) guarantees all of UBSs obligations under the term loan.
Voluntary prepayments of the term loans are not permitted prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except in the event of a change of control of a Transaction Party. After the second anniversary, UBS can make voluntary repayments in minimum principal amounts of US$2,500,000 together with interest, plus the premium described below. UBS must make mandatory prepayments in certain prescribed circumstances, including in the event of raising additional debt financing, a sale or transfer of assets other than in certain circumstances and in the event of other specified

extraordinary receipts. Extraordinary receipts include cash received or paid other than in the ordinary course of business, such as tax refunds (other than GST and R&D tax rebates), LifeScan lump sum fee payments and Siemens termination fees. In such events, UBS must prepay to the Lenders 100% of the net cash proceeds received. In the event of a prepayment on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, UBS must also pay a prepayment premium of 20% of the loans due and payable on that date. If there is a prepayment after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, UBS must pay a prepayment premium commencing at 15% of the loans due and payable on the applicable date and reducing pro-rata on a monthly basis until the Maturity Date.
UBS paid a non-refundable fee of US$625,000 to the Lenders on the Closing Date (being 2.5% of the aggregate credit facility) and a 2% commitment fee based on any available unused borrowing commitment under the Credit Agreement until January 30, 2015. The Lenders will also be entitled to receive 30% of the net proceeds of milestone payments paid under the Collaboration Agreement by and among UBS, UBI and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc., up to a maximum of US$600,000 in the aggregate. UBS has also agreed to pay certain taxes arising in connection with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, including withholding taxes. UBS has also agreed to pay certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with the loan documents, or as may be incurred in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain covenants, including among other things, covenants: (i) relating to the delivery of financial and other information and certificates, notices of defaults, litigation and other material events; payment of taxes and other obligations; maintenance of insurance; (ii) which limit or restrict the incurrence of liens; the making of investments; the incurrence of certain indebtedness; mergers, dispositions, liquidations, or consolidations and significant asset sales; restricted payments; transactions with affiliates other than on normal and arms-length terms; burdensome agreements; prepayment of other indebtedness; ownership of subsidiaries; and (iii) which require UBS to maintain unrestricted cash of not less than US$2,000,000 in a specified bank account at any time.
As further described below, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, UBI issued to the lenders warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of 4.5 million shares of UBIs common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of A$1.00 per share (the Exercise Price), which represents a 117% premium over the closing price of UBIs common stock on December 19, 2013. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of seven years.
Other
In January 2014, UBS entered into an arrangement with Pacific Premium Funding to fund the Groups insurance premium. The total amount financed was A$568,677 at inception. Interest is charged at a fixed rate of 2.88% per annum and the short-term borrowing will be fully repaid within the 2014 financial year. The short-term borrowing is secured by the insurance premium refund. In February 2013, UBS entered into an arrangement with Lumley Finance Ltd to fund the Groups insurance premium. The total amount financed was A$767,471 at inception. Interest was charged at a fixed rate of 2.95% per annum and the short-term borrowing was fully repaid by December 2013. The short-term borrowing was secured by the insurance premium refund.
Warrants
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, UBS issued to the Lenders warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of 4.5 million shares of UBIs common stock in the form of CDIs at the Exercise Price.
The warrants may be exercised at any time until December 19, 2020, in whole or in part in minimum multiples of 500,000 shares of common stock. The holder of the warrants can pay the Exercise Price in cash or it has the right to pay all or a portion of the Exercise Price by making a cashless exercise, therefore reducing the number of shares of common stock the holder would otherwise be issued.
The warrant is subject to adjustments in the event of certain issuances by UBS, such as bonus issues, pro rata (rights) issues and reorganizations (e.g., consolidation, subdivision).

The Company assessed that the warrants are not liabilities within scope of ASC 480-10-25. The warrants are legally detachable from the loan and separately exercisable and as such meet the definition of a freestanding derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815.
However, the scope exception in accordance with ASC 815-10-15-74 applies to warrants and it meets the requirements of ASC 815 that would be classified in stockholders equity. Therefore, the warrants were initially accounted for within stockholders equity, and subsequent changes in fair value will not be recorded. The fair value of the warrant was estimated using the Trinomial Lattice model.
The debt issuance costs were recorded as deferred issuance costs and are amortized as interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan pursuant to ASC 835-30-35-2.

Our Business
We are a specialist medical diagnostics company focused on the research, development and manufacture of in vitro diagnostic test devices for consumer and professional point-of-care use.
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 14, 2001 and our shares of common stock in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests have been quoted on the ASX since December 13, 2006. Our securities are not currently traded on any other public market. Our wholly owned subsidiary and primary operating vehicle, UBS, was incorporated as a proprietary limited company in Australia on September 21, 2001. UBS conducts our research, development and manufacturing activities in Melbourne, Australia.
We have rights to an extensive patent portfolio, with certain patents owned by UBS and a number licensed to UBS by LifeScan, Inc. and other third party licensors.
We are using our electrochemical cell technology platform to develop tests for a number of different markets. Our current focus is as set out below:
| Coagulation testing market we are working with Siemens to develop a range of products for the point-of-care coagulation market pursuant to a Collaboration Agreement and, subject to being approved for sale, plan to manufacture test strips for these products under a Supply Agreement with Siemens. We are also developing our own PT-INR test targeted at the patient self-test market and intend to enter into distribution agreements with respect to that test. We received our first commercial order from Siemens for the production of PT-INR test strips. The responsibility for obtaining regulatory approvals and the final decision to launch the product rests with Siemens. |
| Blood glucose we expect to provide services to LifeScan as required from time to time, pursuant to a Master Services and Supply Agreement and a Development and Research Agreement with LifeScan. |
| Other electrochemical-cell based tests we are working on proving the broader the applicability of our technology platform, including tests based on enzymatic, immunoassay and molecular diagnostic methods. We may seek to enter into collaborative arrangements, strategic alliances or distribution agreements with respect to any tests arising from this work. |

Results of Operations
Analysis of Consolidated Revenue
Our total revenue decreased by 68% and 70% to A$1,513,981 and A$2,865,932, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the previous financial year.
The movement in total revenue during these periods was due to the following factors:
| Revenue from products we manufactured OneTouch® Verio® strips for LifeScan and generated product revenue up until the end of the 2013 financial year. With effect from December 31, 2013, we ceased the manufacture of the OneTouch® Verio® blood glucose testing product. |
| Revenue from services the decline in revenue from products (above) was partly offset by an increase in quarterly service fees. |
Revenue from Products
OneTouch® Verio® was first launched in the Netherlands in January 2010 and is now available in countries that represent over 90% of the world self-monitoring blood glucose market. The manufacturing results of the blood glucose test strips during the respective periods are as follows:

Between 2009 and 2013, UBS acted as a non-exclusive manufacturer of blood glucose test strips for LifeScans OneTouch® Verio® blood glucose testing product. With effect from December 31, 2013, UBS ceased the manufacture of the OneTouch® Verio® blood glucose test strips for LifeScan. Manufacture of the OneTouch® Verio® strips has been transitioned to LifeScans existing facility in Inverness, Scotland. We currently do not manufacture any other products and do not expect to generate revenues from products until we are able to manufacture test strips pursuant to the Supply Agreement with Siemens.
Revenue from Services
We provide various services to our customers and partners. The revenue from services is grouped into the following categories:
| Product enhancement a quarterly service fee based on the number of strips sold by our customers and partners is payable to us as an ongoing reward for our services and efforts to enhance the product; |
| Contract research and development we undertake contract research and development on behalf of our customers and partners; |
| Other services ad-hoc services provided on an agreed basis based on our customers and partners requirements. |

Quarterly service fee - The quarterly service fee increased by 80% and 61%, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the previous financial year, reflecting ongoing market penetration and growth.
The OneTouch® Verio® is now sold in over 90% of the world self-monitored blood glucose market. LifeScan launched the product initially in the Netherlands in January 2010 before making it available for sale in Australia in September 2010. During 2011, there were further launches of the product in Europe including France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain. LifeScan first launched the OneTouch® Verio® system in the United States in January 2012.
LifeScan has the ability to terminate the obligation to pay quarterly service fees to us in certain situations set out in the Master Services and Supply Agreement or with the agreement of Universal Biosensors. LifeScan has the option to give notice to convert the quarterly service fees, which it may only do so once it has paid cumulative quarterly service fees of US$45 million. To date, LifeScan has paid cumulative quarterly service fees of US$8.5 million. Where it gives such notice, LifeScan is required to the pay the quarterly service fees for the remainder of the year in which notice is given and at the end of that year, LifeScan must pay a one-time lump sum fee. This fee is calculated by multiplying the sum of all quarterly service fees for the relevant year in which notice is given by a multiplier (on a sliding scale from 3x if LifeScan gave notice in 2012 to 2x if notice is given in 2018 and beyond). LifeScan may also terminate the obligation to pay quarterly service fees if certain other factors detailed in the Master Services and Supply Agreement arise, including LifeScan ceasing to sell the product, termination for breach, insolvency and bankruptcy, change of control and regulatory termination.
Contract research and development - The nature and scope of contract research and development is determined by our customers and partners based upon their requirements and therefore our revenues and margins tend to fluctuate. We did not perform or generate any revenue from contract research and development during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
Other services - We generated these revenues principally from Siemens based on work undertaken for them.
Contribution from Products & Services
The contribution from products and services has increased by 49% and 40%, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The increase is primarily represented by the growth in the quarterly service fee which has a 100% margin.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are related to developing electrochemical cell platform technologies. Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with research activities, as well as costs associated with our product development efforts, including pilot manufacturing costs. Research and development expenses include:
| consultant and employee related expenses, which include consulting fees, salary and benefits; |
| materials and consumables acquired for the research and development activities; |
| external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with third party organizations and universities; and |
| facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment and laboratory and other supplies. |
Our principal research and development activities can be described as follows:
(a) Blood coagulation
We are developing Prothrombin Time tests for monitoring the therapeutic range of the anticoagulant, warfarin, based on measuring activity of the enzyme thrombin. In September 2011 we entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Siemens which was amended in September 2012, pursuant to which we will develop a range of test strips and reader products for the point-of-care coagulation market. The first test currently being developed is a modified version of our PT-INR test. In 2012, we entered into a Supply Agreement with Siemens under which we will manufacture and supply the test strips for these systems. We are also developing our own PT-INR test targeted at the patient self-test market. All the systems we are currently developing in the blood coagulation platform are in the advanced development phase.
(b) Immunoassay
We are continuing to develop our immunoassay platform targeting a broad range of potential assays. Our vision is to target a single meter and consumable design that can detect analytes across a wide range of sensitivities creating a broad-based multi-test solution while minimizing the incremental research and development effort required for each new test. This platform incorporates the ability to perform D-Dimer and C Reactive Protein tests and leverages past research work on these tests.
This work is currently in the feasibility phase.
(c) DNA/RNA
We have undertaken some early stage feasibility work assessing the possibility of using DNA binding chemistries to build a low-cost test for DNA, RNA and as a possible alternative method for improving the sensitivity of protein assays. This concept work is at an early stage and may not yield any positive results. To enable us to access certain molecular diagnostic technology, we entered into a license with SpeeDx. SpeeDx is an Australian technology company focused on the development of catalytic nucleic acid enzymes for medical diagnostics and other applications.
Research and development expenses for the respective periods are as follows:

In converting an idea or a concept into a commercial product, a number of development stages are required. The closer the idea or the concept to a product, the lower the technical risk but the greater the effort and cost expended. In our research and development program, the first phase is conducting exploratory research and feasibility studies. In this phase the idea is investigated by a small focused team to establish the viability of the concept as the base for a product. Once this hurdle has been passed, the project enters the development phases, which include building prototype strips and instruments, finalizing the product design, carrying out extensive testing, creating the required documentation and developing or validating the product manufacturing processes. This requires a larger group of people and a higher use of materials compared to the research phase, so is typically more expensive, but necessary to be able to commercialize a product.
Research and development expenditure increased by 24% and 16% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period previous financial year. The increase principally reflects the effort required to complete the final stages of the development phase prior to launch of the four tests we are undertaking. The first of these tests, the Prothrombin Time test, for which we have already received a first commercial order from Siemens, is anticipated to launch in the current financial year.
The non-cash components of depreciation and share based payments expense included in the research and development expenditure are as follows:

While we have a degree of control as to how much we spend on research and development activities in the future, we cannot predict what it will cost to complete our individual research and development programs successfully or when or if they will be commercialized. The timing and cost of any program is dependent upon achieving technical objectives, which are inherently uncertain.
In addition, our business strategy contemplates that we may enter into collaborative arrangements with third parties for one or more of our non-blood glucose programs. In the event that we are successful in securing such third party collaborative arrangements, the third party may direct the research and development activities and may contribute towards all or part of the cost of these activities, both of which will influence our research and development expenditure. Research and development activities undertaken on behalf of our customers and partners for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were A$2,264,986 and A$2,366,780, respectively and A$5,284,753 and A$5,776,715 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses currently consist principally of salaries and related costs, including stock option expense, for personnel in executive, business development, finance, accounting, information technology and human resources functions. Other general and administrative expenses include depreciation, repairs and maintenance, insurance, facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, consultancy fees and professional fees for legal, audit and accounting services. General and administrative expenses are generally fixed in nature.
General and administrative expenses increased by 13% and 10% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period previous financial year. The increase is primarily represented by non-recurring consultancy services commissioned by us.

Interest Income
Interest income decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the previous financial year. The decrease in interest income is generally attributable to the lower amount of funds available for investment in Australian currency. A large portion of our funds is held in US denominated currency which currently does not produce any investment interest.

Interest expense relates to applicable interest of 10.5% levied on the loan. The fair value of the warrant issued to the Lenders was estimated using the Trinomial Lattice model. The debt issuance costs were recorded as deferred issuance costs and are amortized as interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the loan.
Other
The Company has recorded research and development tax incentive income of A$1,729,498 and A$3,720,149, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 under this caption. The Company determined that it qualified and became eligible for this rebate during the third quarter of the 2013 financial year. The balance is primarily represented by foreign exchange movements arising from the settlement of foreign denominated transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The research and development tax incentive receivable has been recorded as Other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The research and development tax incentive is one of the key elements of the Australian Governments support for Australias innovation system. It was developed to assist businesses recover some of the costs of undertaking research and development. The research and development tax incentive provides a tax offset to eligible companies that engage in research and development activities.
Companies engaged in research and development may be eligible for either:
| a 45% refundable tax offset for entities with an aggregated turnover of less than A$20 million per annum, or |
| a 40% non-refundable tax offset for all other entities. |
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
(a) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title and risk of loss have been transferred.
In addition, the Company enters into arrangements, which contain multiple revenue generating activities. The revenue for these arrangements is recognized as each activity is performed or delivered, based on the relative fair value and the allocation of revenue to all deliverables based on their relative selling price. In such circumstances, the Company uses a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocation of revenue to deliverables, vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence of selling price and the Companys best estimate of selling price. The Companys process for determining its best estimate of selling price for deliverables without vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price involves managements judgment. The Companys process considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable.

(b) Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the modified prospective method as prescribed in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation.
Each of the inputs to the Trinomial Lattice model is discussed below.
Share Price and Exercise Price at Valuation Date
With the exception of ZEPOs, the exercise price of the options granted has been determined using the closing price of our common stock trading in the form of CDIs on ASX at the time of grant of the options. The exercise price of ZEPOs is nil. The ASX is the only exchange upon which our securities are quoted.
Volatility
We applied volatility having regard to the historical price change of our shares in the form of CDIs available from the ASX.
Time to Expiry
All options granted under our share option plan have a maximum 10 year term and are non-transferable.
Risk Free Rate
The risk free rate which we applied is equivalent to the yield on an Australian government bond with a time to expiry approximately equal to the expected time to expiry on the options being valued.
(c) Income Taxes
We apply ASC 740 Income Taxes which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from a companys activities during the current and preceding years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Where it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
(d) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review our capital assets, including patents and licenses, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. In performing the review, we estimate undiscounted cash flows from products under development that are covered by these patents and licenses. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows.

(e) Warrants
In connection with our US$25 million loan facility, we issued to the Lenders warrants entitling the holder to purchase up to an aggregate total of 4.5 million shares of UBIs common stock in the form of CDIs at a price of A$1.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants to purchase common stock is estimated using the Trinomial Lattice model. Each of the inputs to the Trinomial Lattice model is discussed below.
Share Price and Exercise Price at Valuation Date
The share price of the warrants granted has been determined using the closing price of our common stock trading in the form of CDIs on ASX at the time of entering in to the loan facility. The ASX is the only exchange upon which our securities are quoted. The exercise price has been determined as stated in the credit agreement.
Volatility
We applied volatility having regard to the historical price change of our shares in the form of CDIs available from the ASX.
Time to Expiry
The warrants have a term of seven years.
Risk Free Rate
The risk free rate which we applied is equivalent to the yield on an Australian government bond with a time to expiry approximately equal to the expected time to expiry on the warrants to purchase common stock being valued.

Since inception, we have financed our business primarily through the issuance of equity securities, funding from strategic partners and government grants, revenue from services and product sales.
On December 19, 2013 we entered into the Credit Agreement with the Lenders for a US$25 million secured term loan. The term loan has a maturity date of December 19, 2018 and bears interest at 10.5% per annum. Interest payments are due quarterly over the five-year term of the term loan and, other than as described elsewhere herein, we are not required to make payments of principal for amounts outstanding under the term loan until the Maturity Date. Subject to certain exceptions, the term loan is secured by substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property. For further details, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
The carrying value of the cash and cash equivalents and the accounts receivable approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.
We regularly review all our financial assets for impairment. There were no impairments recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider our own and counterparty credit risk. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not have any assets or liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs. The valuation of our foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as forward rates, and incorporates non-performance risk (the credit standing of the counterparty when the derivative is in a net asset position, and the credit standing of the Company when the derivative is in a net liability position). Our derivative assets are categorized as Level 2.
We had no outstanding contracts as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. We recognized gains of nil for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. For further details, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The movement in cash and cash equivalents and working capital during the above periods was primarily due to reductions resulting from outflows of cash and to the timing of cash receipts, payments, sales and accruals in the ordinary course of business. In addition to the reductions resulting from operating outflows of cash, a first tranche loan of US$15,000,000 (equivalent to A$16,909,029) was drawn in December 2013 by UBS pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
We have not identified any collection issues with respect to receivables.

Item 3 | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Financial Risk Management
The overall objective of our financial risk management program is to seek to minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and interest rate movements on our earnings. We manage these financial exposures through operational means and by using financial instruments. These practices may change as economic conditions change.
Foreign Currency Market Risk
We transact business in various foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars and Euros. We have established a foreign currency hedging program using forward contracts to hedge the net projected exposure for each currency and the anticipated sales and purchases in U.S. dollars and Euros. The goal of this hedging program is to economically guarantee or lock-in the exchange rates on our foreign exchange exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.
Although the Company has a hedging program, as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no open derivatives to be disclosed.
Interest Rate Risk
Since the majority of our investments are in cash and cash equivalents in U.S. or Australian dollars, our interest income is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. and Australian interest rates. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive without significantly increasing risk. Our investment portfolio is subject to interest rate risk but due to the short duration of our investment portfolio, we believe an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
Inflation
Our business is subject to the general risks of inflation. Our results of operations depend on our ability to anticipate and react to changes in the price of raw materials and other related costs over which we may have little control. Our inability to anticipate and respond effectively to an adverse change in the price could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations. In the face of increasing costs, the Company strives to maintain its profit margins through cost reduction programs, productivity improvements and periodic price increases.
