y)   Rounding of Amounts
The Company is a kind referred to in Legislative Instrument 
2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and Investment 
Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the nancial 
statements. Amounts in the nancial statements have been rounded 
off in accordance with that class order to the nearest dollar.
z)   Share Based Payments
Share based compensation relating to share options  
are recognised at fair value.
The fair value of the options is recognised as an employee 
benet expense in the statement of prot or loss and other 
comprehensive income, with a corresponding increase in equity. 
The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to 
the fair value of the options granted, which includes any market 
performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting 
conditions, but excludes the impact of any service and non-
market performance vesting conditions.
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period,  
which is the period over which all of the specied vesting 
conditions are to be satised.
Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any 
directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to share capital.
aa)   Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net prot 
or loss after income tax attributable to equity holders of the 
Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than 
ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the nancial year, adjusted for bonus 
elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the gures used in the 
determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the post income tax effect of interest and other nancing 
costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary share and the 
weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for 
no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
bb)   Parent entity nancial information
The nancial information for the parent entity, MGC 
Pharmaceuticals Limited, disclosed in note 31 has been prepared 
on the same basis as the consolidated nancial statements,  
except as set out below:
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities 
are accounted for at cost in the nancial statements of MGC 
Pharmaceuticals Limited. Dividends received from associates are 
recognised in the parent entity’s statement of prot or loss when 
its right to receive the dividend is established.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated 
into the nancial report based on historical knowledge and best 
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable 
expectation of future events and are based on current trends and 
economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.
a)   Income Taxes 
The group expects to have carried forward tax losses which have 
not been recognised as deferred tax assets as it is not considered 
sufciently probable that these losses will be recouped by means 
of future prots taxable in the relevant jurisdictions.
b)   Share Based Payments 
The assessed fair value at grant date of share based payments 
granted during the period was determined using a binomial 
option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, 
the price of the underlying share at grant date, the life of the 
option, the volatility of the underlying share, the risk-free 
rate and expected dividend payout and any applicable vesting 
conditions. Management was required to make assumptions 
and estimates in order to determine the inputs into the binomial 
option pricing model.
c)   Contingent Liabilities 
A contingent consideration liability arose from the acquisition of 
MGC Pharma (UK) Limited, where Performance Shares can be 
converted into fully paid ordinary shares at a rate of one ordinary 
share for every Performance Share that converts.
The determination of the fair value is based on a probability 
weighted payout approach, where key assumptions take into 
consideration the probability of meeting each milestone and any 
future development may require further revisions to the estimate.
d)   Estimations and judgements on Intangible Assets
The intangible asset of the Group relates to a license to grow 
industrial cannabis in Slovenia. The Group tests the intangible 
asset for indications of impairment at each reporting period, in 
line with accounting policies. The intangible asset is a key asset 
and is recognized as an intangible asset with an indenite useful 
life as only a simple renewal process is required annually.
