30、y success during the year entering both consumer and public health focused channels.CEOs ReportJohn Kelly Chief Executive OfficerThe point-of-care-test diagnostic market continues to move beyond the impact of a COVID-19 pandemic which brought significant changes to the testing landscape.This include
31、d how public health agencies think about large scale testing,especially in the home and increased consumer acceptance of and interest in self-testing.Post-pandemic,diagnostic companies saw reduced revenues and market valuations as large scale COVID testing disappeared.Atomo is pleased to now see rev

43、ver would significantly expand the number of healthcare and community settings in the US where the FebriDx test can be used1,and further increases the attractiveness of Pascal to a broader range of US market participants.There has been a focus on raising awareness of Atomos technology solutions in t
44、he diagnostics market with the company attending two US conferences in recent months.Attention is also now being turned to opportunities to adapt Atomos core functionality from the current formats used to support lateral flow testing towards solutions optimised for POC reader and rapid molecular for
45、mats.These increasingly important diagnostic formats seek to address a number of the limitations with lateral flow,but typically still suffer from user workflow challenges and complexities that limit adoption in decentralised and at-home settings.The patented functionality developed by Atomo support
46、s a range of diagnostic formats and we are excited about the opportunity to expand the areas of the market where we can deliver solutions and provide meaningful performance improvements moving forward.The company has worked hard over the period to reduce operating expenses across the business with a
47、pproximately$2 million removed from OpEx2 during FY24.This follows an OpEx reduction of$1.5 million for FY23 and cost continues to remain an area of management focus moving forward.This cost out strategy positions the business for scale and provides a lower fixed cost of goods and services moving fo
48、rward.As we move through FY25,we look forward to continued expansion of our core HIV test business and to supporting commercialisation of new customers and solutions utilising Atomos integrated test solutions across point-of-care and at-home channels.We also look forward to an expanded regulatory an
49、d commercial pathway to support market expansion by way of having a CLIA Waived test on Pascal in the US market.John Kelly Chief Executive OfficerThis prudent cash management saw the company close out the FY24 period with$3.69 million cash on hand,remaining debt free.ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT 202405The Em
50、ergence of Home TestingThe global point-of-care diagnostics market is projected to exceed US$75 billion by 20303 highlighting increasing demand for decentralised testing solutions more broadly and reflecting acceptance of rapid testing at home.Among the factors driving this growth is the simplicity
51、and cost effectiveness of lateral flow assays(LFA).LFAs are a core segment of point-of-care testing which is gaining traction in a market traditionally dominated by laboratory testing.The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this shift and changed the testing landscape,highlighting the utility of testing a
52、way from clinical settings and creating a more favourable regulatory and clinical environment for decentralised testing.This shift is evident in the widespread availability of rapid tests in the market,which have become standard ranged items in pharmacy retail channels.Major retailers like Tesco and
53、 Boots in the UK and CVS in the US are increasingly ranging this product category,signalling a changed market landscape and growing consumer demand.Diagnostic LandscapeThe Shift Towards Decentralised TestingWithin public health,there is a growing recognition on the importance of self-testing,especia
54、lly for infectious diseases.Decentralised delivery improves the efficiency of healthcare services and in the case of sexual health,also helps to address social and cultural barriers to testing.It also delivers a level of convenience and discretion not available with facility-based testing services.T
55、he economic benefits of public health funded at-home testing as part of wider healthcare initiatives are also becoming increasingly clear.As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve,the rise of at-home testing,including OTC purchased and physician prescribed,represents a fundamental expansion of
56、 the POCT market.The convergence of technology,consumer demand,and supportive regulatory environments is paving the way for a future where at-home testing is not only a viable alternative,but a preferred choice for many aspects of healthcare.3 BusinessWire ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT 202406Emergence of Publ
57、ic Health Support in AustraliaIn the 2024 Federal Budget released in May,the Australian Federal Government announced a commitment of A$43.9 million to HIV services,marking a significant investment in the fight against HIV.This funding included for the first time a commitment to procurement and scale
58、 up of HIV self-testing nationally.National Association of People With HIV Australia x GrindrOne key initiative now directly funded by the government is the free to user test mailout program implemented by the National Association of People with HIV Australia(NAPWHA).This program,set up in late 2023
59、 by NAPWHA and supported by Atomo,enables individuals to receive two free HIV self-tests every six months via an internet portal and home delivery.The initiative has been extremely successful in reaching key populations through direct awareness via the Grindr for Equality program,which provides free
60、 advertising and promotion to the LGBTQ+dating community utilising the Grindr App.Data from the pilot phase of the program indicated that the program has been helpful in supporting testing among harder to reach groups,with more than 40%of testers never having tested or not having tested in the last
61、two years.National Vending Machine ProgramsVending machine programs have also been a pivotal component of expanding access to HIV testing,particularly among cohorts not usually testing through existing facilities-based services.Atomo has worked with SAMESH to support the Connect program which pionee

85、Zealand across private and public channels.(For information on the progress in the Public Health market in Australia,please refer to the Diagnostic Landscape Section,Pages 6 and 7).Outside of Australia,the World Health Organization(WHO)estimates that the HIV self-testing market in low-and middle-inc
86、ome countries(LMICs)could reach a value of$US58 million by 20254.In this market,Atomo is positioned as the only manufacturer currently offering an African-made,prequalified HIV self-test.Viatris has purchased 540,000 HIV self-tests so far during 2024 and we are encouraged by progress in this market
87、over the last year.In Europe,the trend post COVID,of consumer self-tests gaining popularity in mainstream retail channels such as pharmacies,supermarkets,and via e-commerce platforms is further accelerating adoption.In 2022,around half a million at-home HIV tests were supplied in the UK5,showcasing
88、the growing demand for convenient and accessible health solutions.Atomo has supplied 250,000 tests to Newfoundland Diagnostics over the last 18 months to support product launch in a number of European markets and in Colombia.The product is now stocked by Boots Pharmacies and Tescos Supermarkets in t
89、he UK,as well as in pharmacy chains in Germany and the Netherlands.Atomo recently received a new CE Mark approval from BSI for a Newfoundland Eastern European language.ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT 202412SyphilisSyphilis is a sexually transmitted infection(STI)that progresses through different stages and can
90、cause a wide range of symptoms over time if left untreated.Currently,diagnosing syphilis requires two separate tests.The first to detect the presence of antibodies to syphilis infection and the second,a test in the laboratory,to distinguish between an active infection and antibodies present from a p
91、ast-treated infection.This two-step process can cause delays,unnecessary anxiety and loss of follow-up opportunities.In resource limited settings where treatment is often commenced after a positive result from an antibody test,the result is significant over-treatment of patients with no active syphi
92、lis and increased risk surrounding antibiotic resistance.Atomo is working with Burnet Diagnostics Initiative,part of the Burnet Institute on co-development of a lateral flow test on Pascal to diagnose active syphilis.This test offers a significant advancement by distinguishing active syphilis infect
93、ions from past-treated infections as well as providing unmatched usability on an Atomo cassette.Syphilis is a growing public health challenge and represents a significant market opportunity across both public and consumer health channels.Globally,8 million new syphilis cases were reported in 2022,ca
94、using an estimated 220,000 neonates deaths and stillbirths6.The USA has also seen a dramatic rise,with 203,500 recorded cases,the highest number since 1950,and a 78.9%increase over five years7.4 Unitaid5 UK Government6 World Health Organization7 Center for Disease Control and PreventionATOMO ANNUAL

285、EPORT 202439Atomo Diagnostics Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2024 Note 1.Material accounting policy information New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretat
286、ions issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)that are mandatory for the current reporting period.Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.The Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised accounting standa
287、rds and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board for annual reporting periods beginning or after 1 July 2023.It has been determined that there is no impact,material or otherwise,of any other new or revised accounting standards and interpretations.Basis of preparation These
288、 general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB)and the Corporations Act 2001,as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.These financial statements also compl
289、y with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board(IASB).Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,except for,where applicable,the revaluation of financial assets and liabiliti
290、es at fair value through profit or loss,financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income,investment properties,certain classes of property,plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the
291、use of certain critical accounting estimates.It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the groups accounting policies.The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity,or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statem
292、ents,are disclosed in note 2.Going concern The annual report has been prepared on the going concern basis,which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of the assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.As disclosed in the financial statem
293、ents,the group incurred a loss of$6,847,803(2023:$9,957,632)and had net cash outflows from operating activities of$4,686,104(2023:$5,847,671)for the year ended 30 June 2024.The group had a surplus between current assets and current liabilities of$6,402,128(2023:$8,936,247 surplus)and a cash balance
294、of$3,687,990(2023:$6,470,318)as at 30 June 2024.As a result of these matters,there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on whether the company will continue as a going concern and,therefore,whether it will realise its assets and settle its liabili
295、ties and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.The continuing viability of the group and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due are dependent upon the group being successful with the foll
296、owing factors:The ability of the group to raise additional funds from shareholders,new investors and or debt markets.The group has successfully conducted a number of capital raises in the recent years.When taking these into account,there is areasonable expectation that alternative sources of funding
297、 can be sourced,as and when required.Further,the groupunderstands it will require further funding to continue to execute its growth strategy as planned.In its determination on going concern,the Board placed significant reliance upon the representations of its Corporate Advisor with respect to its co
298、nfidence in its ability to continue raising capital on behalf of the group;Increased revenue from opportunities with existing and new customers and sales arrangements as they are realised into sales revenue;andEffective monitoring and reduction of the groups overhead expenditures,including the conti
299、nued realisation of head office cost reductions.In the event that the group is unable to achieve the matters detailed above,it may not be able to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of operati
300、ons and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT 202440Atomo Diagnostics Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2024 Note 1.Material accounting policy information(continued)No adjustments have been made to the recoverability and classifica
301、tion of recorded asset values and the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity and the company not continue as going concerns.Reclassification of prior year amounts and balances When required by Accounting standards,comparative figures have been
302、 adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,these financial statements present the results of the group only.Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 24.Principles
303、of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atomo Diagnostics Limited(company or parent entity)as at 30 June 2024 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended.Atomo Diagnostics Limited and its subsidiaries toge
304、ther are referred to in these financial statements as the group.Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the group has control.The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to,or has rights to,variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those re
305、turns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group.They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.Intercompany transactions,balances and unrealised gains on transactions between ent
306、ities in the group are eliminated.Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.The acquisiti
307、on of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.A change in ownership interest,without the loss of control,is accounted for as an equity transaction,where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling intere
308、st acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the
309、group.Losses incurred by the group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full,even if that results in a deficit balance.Where the group loses control over a subsidiary,it derecognises the assets including goodwill,liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with a
310、ny cumulative translation differences recognised in equity.The group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.Operating segments The group manages its operations as a single business operati
311、on and there are no parts of the group that qualify as operating segments under AASB 8 Operating Segments.The CEO(Chief Operating Decision Maker or“CODM”)assesses the financial performance of the group in an integrated basis only and accordingly,the group is managed on the basis of a single segment,
312、being medical device research and development.Information presented to the CODM on a monthly basis is categorised by type of expenditure.Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars,which is Atomo Diagnostics Limiteds functional and presentation currency.
313、Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars 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 financial period-en
314、d exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.ATOMO ANNUAL REPORT 202441Atomo Diagnostics Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 30 June 2024 Note 1.Material accounting policy information(continued)Forei
315、gn operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date.The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates,which approximate the rates at
316、the dates of the transactions,for the period.All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of
317、.Revenue recognition The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows:Revenue from contracts with customers and sale of goods and services Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer.The group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a good or
318、 service to a customer as per agreement arranged.This varies between:Goods are ready and released by Quality Assurance(QA)Goods are made available at collection point ex-worksGoods are delivered to customer at the arranged delivery pointGoods have been dispatched from manufacturing warehouse ex-work
319、sServices is recognised over time as the services rendered are based on either an hourly rate or a fixed priceWhere ex-works is agreed,the customer is responsible to make necessary arrangements for freight and the collection of goods from the groups warehouse.Invoices are usually payable within 30 t
320、o 75 days,dependent on the contracted agreement.The contracts do not allow the customers to return the goods as the testing kits have a set shelf-life and have gone through vigorous testing prior to delivery.Since none of the contracts permit the customer to return an item,revenue is recognised for
321、all the goods once the goods have been released by QA and are available for collection at the groups warehouse.Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method.This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the in
322、terest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate,which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is rec
323、eived or when the right to receive payment is established.Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination,or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.Current
324、 tax:Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.Current tax also includes an
325、y tax liability arising from dividends.Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.Deferred tax:Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts us
