CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

It’s my pleasure to present Immutep’s annual report for the financial year 2020.

Immutep is focused on improving the lives of patients with cancer and autoimmune disease by leveraging the body’s immune system. We are leaders in the development of immunotherapeutic products stemming from the LAG-3 immune mechanism, which was discovered by our CMO and CSO Prof Frédéric Triebel.

We have four product candidates that are advancing well, despite the global challenges in protecting our trial patients and our employees precipitated by the COVID19 pandemic. These product candidates are being evaluated in 12 active clinical trials and almost 2,000 patients across the globe. Two of them, IMP731 (from which GSK2831781 is derived) and IMP701 (from which LAG525 is derived), are already licensed out to global pharmaceutical companies GSK and Novartis, respectively. During the year we collected $7.7 million in receipts from customers, mainly due to the GSK milestone payment of £4 million.

Our lead product candidate is eftilagimod alpha (efti or IMP321) which is in clinical development for a range of cancer indications. Our other retained program is IMP761, which is in preparations for GMP manufacturing in autoimmune diseases after successful preclinical results.

Cancer and autoimmune diseases are large and growing markets where new therapies are urgently needed for patients. The global oncology drugs market is expected to reach an estimated US$176.5 billion by 2025¹ and the global autoimmune treatment market is expected to grow to US$149.4 billion by 2025².

Immutep deepened its knowledge of efti through multiple trial readouts this financial year. Our largest clinical trial of efti, called AIPAC (Phase IIb) combines it with paclitaxel in breast cancer patients. In this study, efti delivered better progression free survival (PFS) compared to the placebo group at the 6-month landmark. While a number of specific patient subgroups showed good results from the combination therapy in AIPAC, we had hoped for stronger overall PFS results. Unfortunately, this impacted the Company’s share price at a time where the global markets were also reacting with volatility to the uncertainty of the emerging COVID19 pandemic.

When efti is combined with pembrolizumab in our TACTI-002 study (Phase II), encouraging results have also been achieved so far in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer. These results were presented to the scientific community at ASCO in June 2020. The same combination therapy with pembrolizumab was tested in patients with melanoma in TACTI-mel (Phase I), reporting deep and durable responses which were presented in October last year. The INSIGHT-004 (Phase I) studying the combination of efti with avelumab showed encouraging early efficacy signals in patients. Importantly, efti continues to be in general comparably safe and well tolerated in all these trials.

Each of these trials tests efti when administered to patients in combination with either an approved chemotherapy agent or another immunotherapeutic. This has been a deliberate strategy that focuses on improving patient outcomes by using efti to ‘push the gas’ of the immune system by stimulating cancer-fighting T cells, while also combating cancer with an approved therapy.

This strategy also enables us to demonstrate efti’s potential to pharmaceutical companies that are aligned with our mission to enhance patient outcomes, helping us to form strategic collaborations. Immutep is already partnered with five of the world’s major pharmaceutical companies: Novartis, GSK, Merck & Co (MSD), Merck (Germany) and Pfizer. In addition, we continue to collaborate with CYTLIMIC (NEC’s drug discovery business) and our Chinese licensee for efti, EOC Pharma.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER (CONTINUED)

During the year, we were very pleased to have the continued support of new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors as we raised A$12 million via a placement in April 2020 and A$10 million from a placement and fully underwritten Entitlement Offer in July 2019. The funds are supporting our LAG-3 clinical programs in cancer and autoimmune disease. The financings extended our cash runway to the end of calendar year 2021, beyond many anticipated clinical trial data read outs.

Results from multiple trials of efti will be reported throughout the coming financial year, which could further expand the intrinsic value of this promising asset. AIPAC will report overall survival data by the end of calendar year 2020 and more mature data will come from TACTI-002 and INSIGHT-004 throughout calendar year 2020.

I am pleased with the progress made by our Company this year and wish to pass on the Board’s thanks to the whole Immutep team for their continued diligence and passion through what have been challenging and unprecedented times. I also extend our thanks to our loyal shareholders who have continued to support us and share our commitment to bringing new therapies to market to improve patients’ lives.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Russell Howard

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Principal Activities

Immutep is a globally active biotechnology company that is a leader in the development of LAG-3 immunotherapeutic products for cancer and autoimmune disease. It is dedicated to leveraging its technology and expertise to discover and develop novel immunotherapies, and to partner with leading organisations to bring innovative treatment options to market for patients.

Its lead product candidate is eftilagimod alpha (“efti” or “IMP321”), a soluble LAG-3Ig fusion protein based on the LAG-3 immune control mechanism, which is in clinical development for the treatment of cancer. Immutep has two other clinical candidates (IMP701 and IMP731) that are fully licensed to major pharmaceutical partners, and a fourth candidate (IMP761) which is in pre-clinical development for autoimmune disease.

Immutep is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (IMM), and on the NASDAQ (IMMP) in the United States.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Throughout the financial year 2020, Immutep advanced the development of its lead product candidate, efti and reported data from its trials. It reported supportive efficacy data from its largest study, AIPAC (Phase IIb), in breast cancer patients. This included progression-free survival (PFS) data that showed that efti provided an improvement for patients compared to a placebo group at the 6-month landmark. While we are very pleased by the results from some of the pre-defined patient subgroups, we had hoped for better overall results in terms of PFS. The results were, unfortunately, reported at a time of relatively high market uncertainty and volatility related to the COVID19 pandemic. We look forward to reporting Overall Survival results by the end of 2020.

Encouraging first and more mature interim results have also been reported for Immutep’s Phase II clinical trial, TACTI-002. A first group of patients participating in the trial with 1^st line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have reported a median PFS estimate of more than 9 months, which is a very encouraging interim result for patients with such advanced cancer. Immutep also reported the first Complete Response (complete disappearance of target lesion) from a patient with 2^nd line head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Both the AIPAC and TACTI-002 trials are ongoing.

In addition, Immutep reported positive final efficacy data for its Phase I TACTI-mel trial during the financial year. These results showed deep durable responses to the combination treatment in patients with melanoma. In this trial, half of patients had a decrease of ³ 75% in the target lesions when treated with pembrolizumab and efti.

Immutep continued to work with its collaborators, including five major pharmaceutical companies throughout the financial year: Novartis, GSK, Merck & Co (MSD), Merck (Germany) and Pfizer.

From July to August 2019, the Company completed a capital raise via its ASX listing raising approximately A$10 million, via a Placement and a fully underwritten Entitlement Offer which included participation from Immutep’s directors and the entire executive management team. In April 2020, the Company raised a further A$12 million via a Placement supported by high quality institutional investors.

The financings have extended Immutep’s cash runway to the end of calendar year 2021, beyond several significant data read-outs. The proceeds are being used to continue the LAG-3 related programs, including the ongoing clinical development of efti and the manufacturing of IMP761.

Immutep also rationalised its share capital by completing a share consolidation in November 2019, pursuant to which every 10 shares has been consolidated into 1 share.

Immutep operations experienced minimal disruption as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. Protecting the health of patients recruited into the Company’s clinical trials and its employees has been a key priority for Immutep. The Company has been working closely with its clinical sites and regulators to monitor the situation and make any necessary adjustments to trial protocols to diminish risks to patients. Importantly, the Company has not seen a significant impact on the pace of trial recruitment for its two actively recruiting trials: TACTI-002 and INSIGHT-004. AIPAC has been fully recruited since June 2019.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

Clinical Trials

AIPAC – Phase IIb

AIPAC (Active Immunotherapy PAClitaxel) evaluates efti in combination with paclitaxel, a standard of care chemotherapy, as a chemo-immunotherapy combination. The trial is a randomised, double blinded, placebo-controlled clinical study with 226 evaluated HR+ metastatic breast cancer patients and is taking place across in more than 30 clinical trial sites in Germany, the UK, France, Hungary, Belgium, Poland and the Netherlands. The combination therapy aims to boost the body’s immune response against tumour cells compared to chemotherapy plus placebo.

In March 2020, Immutep reported the first results from AIPAC, including supportive efficacy data. PFS results showed that efti provided an improvement for patients compared to the placebo group at the 6-month landmark. In addition, efti demonstrated an increased Overall Response Rate (ORR) of 48.3% compared to 38.4% in the placebo group. Favourable results were also reported in multiple predefined patient subgroups and these are being explored in greater detail. Importantly, Overall Survival results are expected to be reported by the end of calendar year 2020.

TACTI-002 – Phase II

TACTI-002 (Two ACTive Immunotherapies) is Immutep’s Phase II study evaluating the combination of efti with KEYTRUDA^® (or pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 therapy) in up to 109 patients with second line HNSCC or NSCLC in first and second line. The study is taking place at 12 clinical sites across Australia, Europe, the UK and US and is being conducted in collaboration with Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA (known as “MSD” outside the United States and Canada).

In November 2019, Immutep reported the first preliminary safety and efficacy data from the TACTI-002 study. More mature data has been presented regularly in January, February, April and June 2020 with consistently encouraging findings in different patient cohorts.

For a first cohort of patients with first line NSCLC (stage 1 of Part A) median PFS is estimated to be more than 9 months, a remarkable achievement for patients with such advanced cancer. The ORR for this group is an encouraging 53% and 71% of patients had tumour shrinkage.

Immutep reported the first Complete Response (complete disappearance of target lesion) from a patient with second line HNSCC (Part C) in its most recent data. In addition, the ORR of stage 1 of Part C is 38.9% and 44% of patients had tumour shrinkage. Initial efficacy results have not yet been reported from patients with second line NSCLC (stage 1 of Part B) as recruitment was only completed in August 2020.

Recruitment for both patient cohorts (stages 1 and 2) of Part A and stage 1 of Part B (second line NSCLC) of the study has recently been completed, while recruitment is ongoing for stage 2 of Part C (second line HNSCC). In total 87 patients out of up to 109 (80%) are already enrolled and participating in the trial in August 2020.

TACTI-mel – Phase I

TACTI-mel (Two ACTive Immunotherapies in melanoma) is Immutep’s Phase I clinical trial evaluating efti with MSD’s KEYTRUDA^® in 24 patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma that have had either a suboptimal response or had disease progression with pembrolizumab monotherapy. TACTI-mel is a multi-centre, open label clinical trial involving four cohorts of six patients per cohort. It is testing the same combination treatment as TACTI-002, as detailed above.

Immutep reported positive final efficacy data from its TACTI-mel trial which confirmed deep durable responses to the combination treatment, in October 2019. 12 patients (50%) had a decrease of ³ 75% in the target lesions and 9 patients (38%) were treated for ³ 12 months with pembrolizumab and efti. The results also determined that 30 mg of efti was the recommended dosage level for Phase II trials recruiting patients treated with an anti-PD-1 therapy and this is the dosage level currently being used in the ongoing TACTI-002 Phase II trial.

TACTI-mel confirmed efti’s favourable safety profile in combination with pembrolizumab with no dose-limiting toxicities.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

Efti Manufacturing

During the financial year 2020, Immutep commenced some of the steps towards upscaling the manufacturing process of efti from 200L to 2,000L single-use bioreactors at the WuXi Biologics manufacturing plant (Wuxi, China). This work program prepares for potential commercial manufacturing and additional registration trials in multiple indications. It is planned to recommence as Immutep advances its clinical development program for efti.

Separately, Immutep’s partner in China, EOC Pharma, has also started upscaling manufacturing to 2,000L.

IMP761 – preclinical development

IMP761 is an immunosuppressive agonist antibody to LAG-3. It is the first agonist antibody that targets the immune checkpoint LAG-3 for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

Immutep continued cell line development and the manufacturing steps for IMP761 during the financial year. The Company’s manufacturing partner for IMP761, Batavia Biosciences, made significant progress in the cell line development, delivering a pharmaceutical-grade, stable CHO cell line that produces sufficient yields for the clinical development of IMP761. The program is now working on the completion of cell line development.

IMP761 preclinical research results were published in the peer reviewed Journal of Immunology during the financial year.

Clinical Development by Immutep’s Partners

Novartis – IMP701 – Phase II

Novartis is Immutep’s partner for the development of LAG525, which is a humanised LAG-3 antagonist antibody derived from its IMP701 antibody.

In total, Novartis has five clinical trials ongoing for LAG525 in multiple cancer indications, including a Phase II clinical trial in triple negative breast cancer. Across the five trials, LAG525 will be evaluated in a total of more than 1,000 patients, significantly enhancing the value of this product candidate.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) – IMP731 – Phase I

GSK is Immutep’s partner for GSK2831781, which is derived from the Company’s IMP731 antibody.

GSK is conducting a Phase II clinical study evaluating GSK2831781 in 242 ulcerative colitis patients. The first patient being dosed September 2019 prompted a milestone payment of GBP4m (AU$7.4m). The study is expected to be fully completed in August 2022 with clinical proof of concept expected in the first half of calendar year 2021.

GSK also completed a Phase I study in 36 healthy Japanese and Caucasian volunteers in December 2019.

CYTLIMIC – Phase I

Immutep continued to collaborate with CYTLIMIC to prepare for clinical trials evaluating efti as part of a cancer peptide vaccine, called CYT001, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid cancer. The cancer vaccine is comprised of the combination immunotherapy of a HSP70 derived peptide, a GPC3 derived peptide, Immutep’s IMP321 (efti) and Hiltonol.

CYTLIMIC reported positive results from its YNP01 Phase I clinical trial of CYT001 in early 2020, showing that approximately 70% of patients showed an immune response to each peptide. The results were published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy.

In addition, in June 2020 interim results from a second Phase I study of CYT001, called YCP02, showed that tumour cell death and infiltration of T cells into tumour regions was observed in 6 out of 9 patients.

CYTLIMIC is also collaborating with Chiba University in Japan to start a new Phase I trial of CYT001, called CRESCENT1.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

EOC Pharma – IMP321 – Phase I

In March 2020, Immutep’s partner and Chinese licensee, EOC Pharma, completed patient recruitment for its ongoing Phase I EOC202A1101 study being conducted in China. The study tests efti (designated as EOC202 in China) in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The results from the trial are expected to be reported by EOC Pharma in FY 2021.

EOC Pharma also confirmed its plans to continue advancing efti following its analysis of the PFS data, including subgroup analysis, from Immutep’s Phase IIb AIPAC study, detailed above. This includes manufacturing scale up work.

EOC Pharma holds the development and commercialisation rights to efti in Greater China.

INSIGHT – Phase I

INSIGHT is a Phase I study is being conducted by Immutep’s partner, and trial sponsor, IKF, in Germany and is evaluating efti in advanced solid cancers.

The INSIGHT trial includes a 4th arm, called INSIGHT-004.

INSIGHT-004 is a Phase I study being conducted as the 4th arm of the ongoing INSIGHT Phase I clinical trial and is being conducted as an amendment under the existing protocol of INSIGHT. The Institute of Clinical Cancer Research, Krankenhaus Nordwest GmbH in Frankfurt, Germany (“IKF”) is the sponsor of the clinical trial which evaluates the combination of efti with avelumab, a human anti-PD-L1 antibody, in 12 patients with different advanced solid malignancies, primarily with gastrointestinal indications. It is the first study of an approved and marketed anti-PD-L1 drug in combination with efti.

In April 2020, INSIGHT-004 reached full patient recruitment and first data was reported in May 2020. Encouraging early efficacy signals have been observed in a variety of cancer indications Importantly, the combination treatment of efti and avelumab seems to be safe and well tolerated, with no new safety signals or dose limiting toxicities to date. Further data from the study is expected to be reported by the end of calendar year 2020.

Intellectual Property

Throughout the financial year 2020, Immutep continued to build its intellectual property position. This included receiving four new patents during the financial year. The Company has a total of 12 patent families relating to its product candidates and related technologies.

In August 2019, the European Patent Office granted a new patent entitled “LAG-3 dosage regime for use in the treatment of cancer” providing further intellectual property protection for Immutep’s method of treating cancer by the administration of a plurality of doses of a recombinant LAG-3 protein or a derivative thereof.

Also protecting efti, the Japanese Patent Office granted Immutep a new patent entitled “Combined Preparations for the Treatment of Cancer” in May 2020. It relates to the use of efti in combined therapeutic preparations with a chemotherapy agent and follows the grant of similar European and Australian patents in May 2019 and June 2019, respectively.

In addition, the Company strengthened its intellectual property protection for its therapeutic antibody, LAG525, which is licensed by Novartis, with two new patents. In September 2019, the Japanese Patent Office granted a patent for LAG525 by, entitled “Antibody molecules to LAG-3 and uses thereof.” Similarly, the European Patent Office granted a patent with the same title in November 2019. These patents relate to LAG525 and its use in the treatment of cancer and infectious disease.

Financial Performance

Licensing revenue increased significantly from A$140K in FY 2019 to A$7.49 million in FY 2020, mainly attributed to the GSK milestone payment of GBP 4 million (A$7.49 million) received in this fiscal year related to the first patient being dosed in GSK’s Phase II clinical trial evaluating GSK2831781 in ulcerative colitis.

Page | 7

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

The research material sales decreased from A$1.16 million in FY 2019 to A$280k in FY 2020 due to a single bigger purchase by customer in FY 2019.

In June 2020, Immutep received a cash rebate of A$1.44 million from the Australian Federal Government’s R&D tax incentive program, which was provided in respect of expenditure incurred on eligible research and development activities conducted in FY 2019 mainly related to the TACTI-mel and TACTI-002 trials being conducted in Australia. In addition, Immutep has recognised approximately A$1.16 million grant income from the Australian Federal Government’s R&D tax incentive program for FY 2020.

The Company’s French subsidiary received two cash grants from the French Crédit d’Impôt Recherche (CIR) scheme during the financial year: 1) In October 2019, it received €1.57 million (approximately A$2.58 million) for the eligible research and development expenditures incurred in the 2018 calendar year in Europe. 2) In May 2020, it received €2.17 million (approximately A$3.58 million) for the eligible research and development expenditures incurred in the 2019 calendar year in Europe. The French subsidiary has also recognised A$1.98 million grant income from the French Crédit d’Impôt Recherche scheme for the expenditure incurred on eligible research and development activities conducted in first half of calendar year 2020.

Interest income decreased from A$397K in FY 2019 to A$200K in FY 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in weighted average interest rates. Total revenue and other income increased from A$7.49 million in FY 2019 to A$16.50 million in FY 2020, which is a 120% increase.

Research and development and intellectual property expenses increased from A$16.59 million in FY 2019 to A$20.40 million in FY 2020. The significant increase was expected and was primarily due to the increased clinical trial activities, especially in TACTI-002 and AIPAC.

Whilst clinical trial costs related to AIPAC and TACTI-mel are expected to decline further given both of these trials are being finalised, costs related to TACTI-002 are expected to rise further as the predefined number of patient responses to the combination treatment were observed in the initial patient cohorts, warranting further recruitment of patients into stage 2 of two of the three patient Parts so far.

Corporate administrative expenses for FY 2020 were A$6.34 million compared to A$6.37 million for FY 2019.

The loss after tax for FY 2020 of A$13,468,232 was significantly lower compared to A$18,343,984 for FY 2019, mainly due to the significant increase in the license revenue.

On behalf of the Board and management team of Immutep, we thank you for your continued support and look forward to updating you with more data results in the months ahead.

Outlook

Immutep continues to be the worldwide leader in developing LAG-3 therapeutics. Its LAG-3 technologies have been evaluated in 12 active clinical trials and almost 2,000 patients across the globe. The Company continued to build the value of its lead product candidate, efti, throughout 2020 by advancing multiple clinical trials and reporting supportive and encouraging data from these studies, including AIPAC, TACTI-002 and TACTI-mel.

Looking ahead, Immutep will be reporting multiple data read-outs in the coming financial year, including further clinical trial results from its TACTI-002 and INSIGHT-004, along with Overall Survival results from AIPAC.

In addition, it has committed partnerships in place with five of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies: Merck, Pfizer, Merck MSD, Novartis and GSK, plus our partner in China, EOC Pharma building the Company’s network and business development opportunities.

Review of operations

The loss after tax for the consolidated entity amounted to $13,468,232 (30 June 2019: $18,343,984).

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), was declared a world-wide pandemic by the World Health Organisation in March 2020. The Group is monitoring the potential impact of COVID-19, if any, on the carrying value of certain assets. The number one priority for the Group has been and remains the health and safety of our team members and patients. The Group has worked closely with the hospitals and trial sites, to ensure we implemented all measures to safeguard our employees and patients. From a clinical perspective, COVID-19 had a limited impact on the operations and financial performance during the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

Patient recruitment has progressed for our trials of TACTI-002 and INSIGHT-004 however, patient recruitment in the future could be affected. The Group has managed to address these challenges without a material impact on our clinical program and financial performance for the year. However, the extent to which these events may influence the Group’s business moving forward will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Group will continue to assess the impact on every level.

This is further described in detail in the Review of Operations and Activities on page 4.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the year, the Company had successfully completed two capital raisings in Australia, raising a total of $22m. The first capital raise was completed earlier in the financial year (with $4m from a placement offer and $6m from a fully underwritten, non-renounceable entitlement offer).

The capital raising in April 2020 successfully raised $12 million before transaction cost with existing and new institutional investors. The proceeds from the raise will drive development of Immutep’s immuno-oncology and autoimmune programs including its lead product candidate, eftilagimod alpha.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

Significant changes in the state of affairs (continued)

The two raisings during the financial year has strengthened the Group’s balance sheet ahead of a number of key clinical data value inflection points thus extending the Group’s cash reach to end of 2021 calendar year.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 4 August 2020, Ridgeback Capital Investments’ 37,144,524 warrants lapsed. These warrants were issued with the convertible notes issued to Ridgeback Capital Investments on 4 August 2015.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020, that has significantly affected the Group’s operations, results, or state of affairs, or may do so in future years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations

Information on likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity are included in the Review of Operations and Activities on page 4. Information on the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity.

Environmental regulation

Immutep’s activities in respect of the conduct of preclinical and clinical trials and the manufacturing of drugs are undertaken in accordance with applicable environment and human safety regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which the company has operations. The Company is not aware of any matter that requires disclosure with respect to any significant regulations in respect of its operating activities and believes that there have been no issues of non-compliance during the period.

The consolidated entity is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

C Service agreements

D Share-based compensation

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Remuneration Policy

Remuneration of all Executive and Non-Executive Directors and Officers of the Company is determined by the Remuneration Committee.

Remuneration Governance

The Remuneration Committee is a committee of the board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the board on:

• non-Executive Director fees

• remuneration levels of executive directors and other key management personnel

• the over-arching executive remuneration framework and operation of the incentive plan, and

• key performance indicators (KPI) and performance hurdles for the executive team.

Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company.

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this committee.

Non-Executive Directors’ fees

Non-executive directors’ cash fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $500,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting on 26 November 2010.

The remuneration paid to each director is inclusive of committee fees. No retirement benefits are payable other than statutory superannuation, if applicable.

The 4th edition of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations released by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (Council) specifies that it is generally acceptable for non-executive directors to receive securities as part of their remuneration to align their interest with the interests of other security holders, however non-executive directors should not receive performance-based remuneration as it may lead to bias in their decision making and compromise their objectivity. Accordingly, as a means of attracting and retaining talented individuals, given the fiscal constraints of a development stage company, the Board has chosen to grant equity in the form of performance rights which vest based only on meeting continuous service conditions. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance-based bonuses and prior shareholder approval is required to participate in any issue of equity.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Executive remuneration policy and framework

In determining executive remuneration, the board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:

• competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent from both the domestic and international marketplaces,

• aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value, transparent, and

• acceptable to shareholders.

The executive remuneration framework has three components:

• base pay and benefits, including superannuation, social security payments and health insurance

• short-term performance incentives, and

• long-term incentives through participation in employee option plans and the grant of performance rights.

Executive remuneration mix

In accordance with the Company’s objective to ensure that executive remuneration is aligned to Company performance, a portion of the executives’ target pay is “at risk”.

Base pay and benefits

Executives receive their base pay and benefits structured as a total employment cost (TEC) package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executives’ discretion. Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards.

Independent remuneration information is obtained from sources such as independent salary surveys to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base pay for executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the market.

In order to obtain the experience required to achieve the Company’s goals, it has been necessary to recruit management from the international marketplace. Accordingly, executive pay is also viewed in light of the market from which our executives are recruited in order to be competitive with the relevant market.

An executive’s pay is also reviewed on promotion. There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any executives’ contracts. Superannuation benefits are paid on behalf of Australian based executives.

At this stage of the Company’s development, shareholder return is enhanced by the achievement of milestones in the development of the Company’s products. The Company’s Remuneration Policy is not directly based on its financial performance, rather on industry practice, given the Company operates in the biotechnology sector and the Company’s primary focus is research activities with a long-term objective of developing and commercialising the research & development results. At senior management level, performance pay is partly determined by achieving successful capital raising milestones to support its clinical programs and the achievement of clinical milestones and business development activities in a manner that aligns the executive’s performance pay with value creation for shareholders.

The Company envisages its earnings will remain negative whilst the Company continues in the research and development phase. Shareholder wealth reflects this speculative and volatile market sector.

Short-term incentives

Executives have the opportunity to earn an annual short-term incentive (STI) depending on their accountabilities and impact on the organisation. STIs may be awarded at the end of a performance review cycle for meeting group and individual milestone achievements that align to the Company’s strategic and business objectives at the discretion of the board.

The remuneration committee is responsible for determining the amount of STI to be awarded. To assist in this assessment, the committee receives reports on performance from management. The committee has the discretion to adjust short-term incentives downwards in light of unexpected or unintended circumstances.

In the current pre-commercialisation stage of the Company’s development, it is the Board’s preference to issue non-cash STIs except in unusual circumstances.

Page | 14

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Non-cash STIs are granted under the Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) which was approved by shareholders at the 2018 Annual General Meeting. In light of our global operations the Board adopted the Company’s incentive arrangements to ensure that it continues to retain and motivate key executives in a manner that is aligned with shareholders’ interests. The Company’s ‘umbrella’ EIP was adopted to allow eligible executives to apply for the grant of performance rights and/or options. Equity incentives granted in accordance with the EIP Rules are designed to provide meaningful remuneration opportunities and will reflect the importance of retaining a world-class management team. The Company endeavours to achieve simplicity and transparency in remuneration design, whilst also balancing competitive market practices in the United States, France, Germany, and Australia.

Long-term incentives

Long-term incentives (LTI) are also provided to certain employees via the EIP. The LTI is intended to:

• reward high performance and to encourage a high-performance culture

• align the interest of executives and senior management with those of the company and shareholders

• provide the company with the means to compete for talented staff by offering remuneration that includes an equity-based component, like many of its competitors

• assist with the attraction and retention of key personnel.

Executives and senior managers eligible to participate in the LTI are considered by the Board to be in roles that have the opportunity to significantly influence long-term shareholder value.

The Company may issue eligible participants with performance rights which entitle the holder to subscribe for or be transferred one fully paid ordinary share of the Company for no consideration. Equity-settled performance rights carry no dividend or voting rights.

The performance rights are issued to executive directors and employees for no consideration and are subject to the continuing employment and lapse upon resignation, redundancy or termination, or failure to achieve the specified performance vesting condition. The performance rights will immediately vest and become exercisable if in the Board’s opinion a vesting event occurs (as defined in the plan rules) such as a takeover bid or winding up of the Company. If the performance rights vest and are exercised, the employee receives ordinary shares in the Company for no consideration.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting

The Company received 92.96% “yes” votes and 2.27% undirected proxies open to the chair to vote in favor of the resolution on its remuneration report for the 2019 financial year. The Company addressed specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

All number of performance rights and exercising price have been adjusted for the 10 to 1 share consolidation in November 2019.

* The remuneration recognised for Non-Monetary benefits and Executive performance rights is measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based payments at the historical grant date fair value. If the amounts were measured at the 30 June share price, the amounts disclosed would be $152,269 for Non-Monetary benefits and $600,009 for Executive Performance Rights.

** The cash salary for both Mr Voigt and Dr Triebel remains the same as FY 2019. The variances are from the foreign currency translation.

¹ Dr Russell Howard was issued 1,000,000 performance rights to vest over 4 tranches in accordance with shareholder approval received at the AGM on 16 November 2018. The 1,000,000 performance rights were granted in lieu of additional cash to compensate Dr Howard for his additional responsibilities due to his elevation to the role of Chairman following the retirement of the previous Chairman from the date of the 2017 AGM. As explained in the Appendix 3Y for Dr Howard released to ASX on 22 December 2017 and the 2018 AGM notice of meeting, the total number of performance rights proposed by the Company was calculated based on 4 years of director’s fees at $60,000 p.a. divided by $0.24 (being the 5 day VWAP up to and including 15 December 2017). However, the fair value of Dr Howard’s performance rights for the purposes of this financial report reflects the prevailing share price as at the date of shareholder approval of his performance rights, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

The board of directors has considered the position and, in accordance with advice received from the Audit and Risk Committee, is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

• all non-audit services have been reviewed by the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor

• none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of the Company and its subsidiaries.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), was declared a world-wide pandemic by the World Health Organisation in March 2020. This has spread rapidly throughout the world, including Australia, causing significant disruption to business and economic activity. The Group has business continuity procedures in place and is addressing health and safety risks whilst continuing to carry out ongoing clinical trials. The Group’s operations have been maintained with minimal disruption and have undertaken extensive additional measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its people, patients, suppliers, and stakeholders.

For the Group, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has not significantly increased the estimation of uncertainty in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. A thorough consideration of potential COVID-19 impacts on carrying values of assets and liabilities, contracts and potential liabilities have been made, with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Basis of preparation

These 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. Immutep Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(i) Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Immutep Limited group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the group

The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2019: AASB 16 – Leases

AASB 16 Leases supersedes AASB 117 Leases, AASB Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a lease, AASB Interpretation 115 Operating Leases – Incentives and AASB Interpretation 127 Evaluation the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model.

Lessor accounting under AASB 16 is substantially unchanged from AASB 117. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in AASB 117

The Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting AASB 16. The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach but has not restated comparatives for the 2020 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019. The new accounting policies are disclosed in note 1(u) and changes in accounting policy in note 1(w).

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2020 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements

The AASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date (eg. the receipt of a waiver or a breach of covenant). The amendment also clarifies what AASB 101 means when it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a liability.

Page | 31

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a) Basis of preparation (continued)

Entities should reconsider their existing classification in light of the amendment and determine whether any changes are required. The Amendment should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Management are still assessing the impact on adopting the amendment to AASB 101.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting years and on foreseeable future transactions.

(iii) Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments), which are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

(iv) Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

(b) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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 returns 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 deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

(c) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.

(d) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Immutep Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) 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 recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income on a net basis.

Page | 32

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(d) Foreign currency translation (continued)

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet

• income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative 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 recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(e) Revenue recognition

The Group has applied AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The accounting policy change has been applied using the modified retrospective approach and did not have any material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group. Revenue is recognised when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Revenue is presented net of GST, rebates, and discounts. Performance obligations are completed at a point in time and over time. Revenue is recognized for the major business activities of the Group as follows:

(i) License revenue

A license may provide another party the right to use the Group’s intellectual property as it exists at the point in time the license is granted. For these licenses, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the licensee and the license period begins. At present, the Group is in the research and development phase of operations and license revenue earned is through milestone payments from on-going clinical trials and research.

Milestone payments generally represent a form of variable consideration as the payments are likely to be contingent on the occurrence of future events. Milestone payments are estimated and included in the transaction price based on either the expected value (probability weighted estimate) or most likely amount approach. The most likely amount is likely to be most predictive for milestone payments with a binary outcome (i.e., the company receives all or none of the milestone payment).

The transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices. If the transaction price includes consideration that varies based on a future event or circumstance (e.g., the completion of a clinical trial phase), the Group would allocate that variable consideration (and any subsequent changes to it) entirely to one performance obligation if both of the following criteria are met:

• The payment terms of the variable consideration relate specifically to the Group’s efforts to satisfy that performance obligation or transfer the distinct good or service (or to a specific outcome from satisfying that separate performance obligation).

Page | 33

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(e) Revenue recognition (continued)

• Allocating the variable amount entirely to the separate performance obligation or the distinct good or service reflects the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for satisfying that particular performance obligation when considering all of the performance obligations and payment terms in the contract.

Variable consideration is only recognized as revenue when the related performance obligation is satisfied, and the Group determines that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised in future periods.

Other income

(i) Grant income

Grants from the governments, including Australian Research and Development Rebates, France’s Crédit d’Impôt Recherche are recognised at their fair value when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to operating costs are recognised in the Statements of Comprehensive Income as grant income. Government grants were received by the Group under various government stimulus packages (both Australian and overseas) in relation to the impacts of COVID-19.

(ii) Research material sales

Revenue from the sale of materials supplied to other researchers in order to conduct further studies on LAG-3 technologies is recognised at a point in time when the materials are delivered, the legal title has passed and the other party has accepted the materials.

(iii) Research collaboration income

Revenue from services provided in relation to undertaking research collaborations with third parties are recognised over time in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the agreement or contract with a third party.

(f) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Page | 34

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Immutep Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. Foreign subsidiaries are taxed individually by the respective local jurisdictions. For the purposes of preparation of the financial statements, the tax position of each entity is calculated individually and consolidated as consolidated tax entity.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(g) Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration agreement, and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit and loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit and loss.

(h) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds it recoverable amount.

Page | 35

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(h) Impairment of assets (continued)

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

(j) Current receivables

Current receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Amount receivable in relation to Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT) are due from the local taxation authorities and recorded based on the amount of GST and VAT paid on purchases. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.

Collectability of current receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due.

(k) Financial Instruments

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled, or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

All financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable), except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

• financial assets at amortised cost

• financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

• financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(k) Financial instruments (continued)

Classifications are determined by both:

• The entity’s business model for managing the financial asset

• The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

• they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows

• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

The Group does not hold any financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through comprehensive income.

Impairment of financial assets

AASB 9 requires more forward-looking information to recognize expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. The impairment of financial assets including trade receivables is now assessed using an expected credit loss model; previously the incurred loss model was used. The accounting policy change has been applied retrospectively and did not have any material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instruments’ fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included.

(l) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation less impairment (if any). Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:

• Computers – 3 years

• Plant and equipment – 3-5 years

• Furniture – 3-5 years

Page | 37

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(l) Plant and equipment (continued)

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(h)). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

(m) Intangible assets

(i) Intellectual property

Costs incurred in acquiring intellectual property are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over a period not exceeding the life of the patents, which averages 14 years. Where a patent has not been formally granted, the company estimates the life of the granted patent in accordance with the provisional application.

Costs include only those costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the intellectual property. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(h)).

(ii) Research and development

Research expenditure on internal projects is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure that could be recognised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred.

As the Company has not met the requirement under the standard to recognise costs in relation to development, these amounts have been expensed.

Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight-line basis over its useful life.

(iii) Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as described in (note 1(g)). Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised, but it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

(n) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(o) Compound instruments

Convertible notes, including the attached options and warrants, issued to Ridgeback Capital Investments are accounted for as share based payments when the fair value of the instruments are higher than the consideration received, representing intangible benefits received from the strategic investor. The difference between the fair value and consideration received at issuance of the convertible notes and attached options and warrants is recognised immediately in profit and loss as a share-based payment charge.

Page | 38

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(o) Compound instruments (continued)

If options or warrants contain a settlement choice between cash or shares, this settlement choice constitutes a compound feature of the convertible notes, which triggers the separation of debt and equity components to be accounted for separately. The liability component is measured at fair value at initial recognition and subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss. The difference between the fair value of the convertible notes and the liability component at inception is accounted as an equity element and not remeasured subsequently.

(p) Finance costs

Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(q) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating annual leave that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments are recognised in profit or loss. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Retirement benefit obligations

The group does not maintain a group superannuation plan. The group makes fixed percentage contributions for all Australian resident employees to complying third party superannuation funds. The group has no statutory obligation and does not make contributions on behalf of its resident employees in the USA and Germany. The group’s legal or constructive obligation is limited to these contributions. Contributions to complying third party superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable.

(iv) Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Executive Incentive Plan (EIP). Information relating to these schemes is set out in note 31.

The fair value of performance rights and options granted under the EIP are recognised as an employee benefits expense 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.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

(q) Employee benefits (continued)

(v) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal employment contract expiry date. The group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to terminating the employment of current employees.

(vi) Bonus plan

The group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses. The group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(r) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(s) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

• the profit or loss attributable to owners of the Company

• by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. Bonus elements have been included in the calculation of the weighted average number of ordinary shares and has been retrospectively applied to the prior financial year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

• the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and

• the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(t) Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised 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 balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

(u) Leases

The Group leases various offices and printer equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 3 years and typically have extension options of 3 months to 1 year minimum at the discretion of either the Lessor or the Lessee. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Page | 40

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(u) Leases (continued)

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices, wherever practicable. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

Operating leases with a term of less than 12 months are considered as short-term leases and leases below threshold of A$12,000 are considered as low value leases. Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. During the financial year ended 30 June 2020, the expense recognised for short term leases was A$95,302 and the expense recognised for low value leases was A$4,090.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date

• amounts expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees

• the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.

The lease payments are discounted using an incremental borrowing rate as calculated by management at the commencement date and taking into consideration feedback from surveyed financial institutions on incremental borrowing rates available for the Group as a lessee and nature of each lease portfolio. Incremental borrowing rates are re-assessed on a half yearly basis and is deemed equivalent for the Group’s specific circumstances to a rate that an individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

• any initial direct costs, and

• restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. The group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Group. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group’s operations.

The Group does not provide residual value guarantees in relation to leases.

(v) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Immutep Limited, disclosed in note 32 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

(i) Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Immutep Limited.

(ii) Tax consolidation legislation

Immutep Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Immutep Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a standalone taxpayer in its own right.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by the head entity for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to the head entity under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

(iii) Share-based payments

The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the group is treated as a capital contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

(w) Changes in accounting policy

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

As indicated in note 1(a)(iii) above, the group has adopted AASB 16 Leases retrospectively from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the financial year 2019, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019. The new accounting policies are disclosed in note 1(u).

On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 3.75%.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(w) Changes in accounting policy (continued)

(i) Practical expedients applied

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

• Reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous

• The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases

• The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the ROU asset at the date of initial application, and

• The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

The group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

(ii) Measurement of lease liabilities

Reconciliation of lease commitments as at 30 June 2019 to lease liabilities recognised as at 1 July 2019 is as follows:

	2019 A$
Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 30 June 2019		263,565
Less: Effect of discounting using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application		(10,359	)
Less: Short-term leases recognised on a straight-line basis as expense		(43,698	)
Add: New lease agreements agreed with third parties as at 1 July 2019 and discounted under AASB 16		126,582
Lease liability recognised under AASB 16 as at 1 July 2019		336,090
Of which are:
Current lease liabilities		125,408
Non-current lease liabilities		210,682
		336,090

(iii) Measurement of right-of-use assets

Right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019.

	2019
	A$
Initial value of ROU asset recognised as at 1 July 2019		336,090
Less: lease incentives		(12,215	)
Net ROU asset recognised under AASB 16 as at 1 July 2019		323,875

(iv) Lessor accounting

The Group did not act as a lessor as at 30 June 2019 and did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor under operating leases.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group.

The group hedges its foreign exchange risk exposure arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities using natural hedging by holding currency that matches forecast expenditure in each of the major foreign currencies used (AUD, EUR, USD). The group may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures when the group expects a major transaction in the currency other than the major foreign currencies used by the group. The group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting in the case of foreign exchange and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by senior management under policies approved by the board of directors. Management identifies, evaluates, and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the group’s operating units. The board provides the principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar and Euro.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. Management has set up a policy to manage the Company’s exchange risk within the group companies. The group may hedge its foreign exchange risk exposure arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities using forward contracts or natural hedging.

The group considers using forward exchange contracts to cover anticipated cash flows in USD and Euro periodically. This policy is reviewed regularly by directors from time to time. There were no outstanding foreign exchange contracts as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019.

The group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

	30 June 2020						30 June 2019
	USD			EUR			USD			EUR
Cash in bank		5,109,237			5,648,580			10,023,299			1,556,444
Trade and other receivables		—			1,201,913			85,555			3,740,827
Trade and other payables		(404,525	)		(581,556	)		(921,843	)		(1,267,647	)

Sensitivity

Based on the financial assets and liabilities held at 30 June 2020, had the Australian dollar weakened/ strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the group’s post-tax loss for the year would have been $685,518 lower/$685,518 higher (2019 – $918,701 lower/$918,701 higher)

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2020, had the Australian dollar weakened/ strengthened by 10% against the Euro with all other variables held constant, the group’s post-tax loss for the year would have been $1,025,845 lower/$1,025,845 higher (2019 – $402,962 lower/$402,962 higher ), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of Euro denominated financial instruments. Any changes in post-tax loss will have an equivalent change to equity.

The US warrants financial liability will be equity-based settled upon exercise of the US warrants. However, as the exercise will be done with an exercise price in US dollars, there is a foreign exchange risk due to the subsequent translation to Australian dollars.

Currently the group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, and deposits with banks. For banks, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ‘A’ according to ratings agencies are accepted.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings:

	30 June 2020 $		30 June 2019 $
Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits
Minimum rating of A		26,322,047		16,567,982

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash to meet obligations when due. At the end of the reporting period the group held deposits at call of $26,322,047 (2019: $16,567,982) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the group’s liquidity reserve cash and cash equivalents (Note 7) on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the group’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these.

As outlined in Note 3, the Company’s monitoring of its cash requirements extends to the consideration of potential capital raising strategies and an active involvement with its institutional and retail investor base.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The tables below analyse the group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:

(a) all non-derivative financial liabilities, and

(b) net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities At 30 June 2020	Less than 12 months $		Between 1 and 5 years $		> 5 years $		Total contractual cash flows $		Carrying Amount $

(d) Fair value measurements

The following table presents the group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 on a recurring basis:

At 30 June 2020	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	$		$		$		$

Total liabilities		—		3,164,413		7,642,707		10,807,120

(i) Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments trade in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted (unadjusted) market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• The use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

• The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves

• The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date

• The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

(ii) Fair value measurements using value techniques

• There are no financial instruments as at 30 June 2020 under Level 1.

• Level 2 financial instruments consist of warrant liabilities. Refer to Note 14 for details of fair value measurement.

• Level 3 financial instruments consist of convertible notes. Refer to Note 15 for details of fair value measurement.

The convertible note was valued using a discounted cashflow model.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

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

The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Accounting estimate for R&D tax incentive

R&D tax incentive is estimated based on an assessment of qualifying research and development expenditure in each tax jurisdiction. There is some judgement required in assessing the quantum of grant income to recognise due to the complexity of the legislation in each tax jurisdiction.

(b) Development expenditure

The consolidated entity has expensed all internal development expenditure incurred during the year as the costs relate to the initial expenditure for development of biopharmaceutical products and the generation of future economic benefits is not considered probable given the current stage of development. It was considered appropriate to expense the development costs as they did not meet the criteria to be capitalised under AASB 138 Intangible Assets.

(c) Liquidity

The Group has experienced significant recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. As at 30 June 2020, the Group holds cash and cash equivalents of $26,322,047 (2019: $16,567,982).

In line with the Company’s financial risk management, the directors have carefully assessed the financial and operating implications of the above matters, including the expected cash outflows of ongoing research and development activities of the Group over the next 12 months. Based on this consideration, the directors are of the view that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due for at least 12 months following the date of these financial statements and that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (CONTINUED)

(c) Liquidity (continued)

Monitoring and addressing the ongoing cash requirements of the Group is a key focus of the directors. This involves consideration of future funding initiatives such as potential business development opportunities, for example an out-licensing transaction, capital raising initiatives, and the control of variable spending on research and development activities of the Group.

(d) Assessment on the carrying value of intellectual property

Costs incurred in acquiring intellectual property are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over a period not exceeding the life of the patents. Where a patent has not been formally granted, the company estimates the life of the granted patent in accordance with the provisional application. Costs include only those costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the intellectual property.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Intellectual property represents the largest asset of the Group as at 30 June 2020 and the most significant asset given the current research and development phase of operations. Accordingly, as commercial production has not yet commenced there is some judgment required in assessing the continued viability on the use of the intellectual property. Refer to note 1(h).

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the global novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak a pandemic. To date, the Company’s operations have not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the ongoing pandemic has increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The estimation uncertainty associated with the magnitude and duration of COVID-19 is as follows:

• The continued pandemic has led to volatility in the global capital markets, which could adversely affect the company’s ability to access the capital markets.

• It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could delay the future recruitment of clinical trials and therefore could lead to an indication of impairment in the intangible assets.

• The continued pandemic could cause the delay of clinical trials conducted by our partners, which could potentially have an adverse impact on the future license income.

The consolidated entity has applied accounting estimates in the consolidated financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect expectations and assumptions as at 30 June 2020 about future events, including COVID-19 that management believe are reasonable in the circumstances. While there was not a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended 30 June 2020, resulting from our assessments, our future assessment of our current expectations at that time of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)

* Licensing revenue increased significantly from A$140K in FY 2019 to A$7.49 million in FY 2020, mainly attributed to the GSK milestone payment of GBP 4 million (A$7.49 million) received in this fiscal year related to the first patient being dosed in GSK’s Phase II clinical trial evaluating GSK2831781 in ulcerative colitis.

* In September and October 2018, US investors exercised 419,733 warrants at an exercise price of US$ 2.50 each. Immutep received US$1.05 million (A$1.46 million) cash payment in total.

In July 2017, the Group completed its first US capital raise after it entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors for the Group to issue American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and Warrants of the Group for cash consideration totaling $6,561,765. In this private placement, the Group agreed to issue unregistered warrants to purchase up to 1,973,451 of its ADSs. The warrants have an exercise price of US$2.50 per ADS, are exercisable immediately and will expire on 5 January 2023. The warrants do not confer any rights to dividends or a right to participate in a new issue without exercising the warrant.

In December 2018, the Group completed its second US capital raise after it entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors to purchase American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and Warrants of the Group for cash consideration totaling $7,328,509. In this private placement, the Group agreed to issue unregistered warrants to purchase up to 2,080,000 of its ADSs. The warrants have an exercise price of US$2.50 per ADS. The Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times up until the Warrant Expiry Date, being 12 February 2022. The warrants do not confer any rights to dividends or a right to participate in a new issue without exercising the warrant.

Both US warrant issues represent a written option to exchange a fixed number of the Group’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of cash that is denominated in a foreign currency (US dollars) and is thus classified as a derivative financial liability in accordance with AASB 132. The US warrants liability is initially recorded at fair value at issue date and subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss at each reporting date. Capital raising costs have been allocated proportionately between issued capital and the US warrant issues in accordance with their relative fair values.

The 10 to 1 share consolidation in November 2019 did not change the number of US warrants nor the exercise price of those warrants as the American Depository Receipt (ADR) ratio was also changed from 1 ADS representing 100 shares to 1 ADS representing 10 shares. The effective date of the change was 5 November 2019.

However, under the anti-dilution clause of share purchase agreements, the exercise price was adjusted due to the entitlement offer the Group conducted in August 2019. As a result, the exercise price is now US$2.49.

Fair value of warrants

The warrants granted are not traded in an active market and the fair value has thus been estimated by using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the following assumptions. Key terms of the warrants are included above.

On 11 May 2015, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Ridgeback Capital Investments (Ridgeback) to invest in Convertible Notes and Warrants of the Company for cash consideration totaling $13,750,828, which was subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholder approval was received on 31 July 2015.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

15. NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES – CONVERTIBLE NOTE (CONTINUED)

The 13,750,828 Convertible Notes issued have a face value of $1.00 per note which are exercisable at a price of approximately $0.18 per share (adjusted for post share consolidation and anti-dilution clause), mature on 4 August 2025 and accrue interest at a rate of 3% per annum which may also be converted into shares. Conversions may occur during the period (i) at least 3 months after the Issue Date and (ii) at least 15 business days prior to the maturity date into 50 ordinary shares of the Company per note (subject to customary adjustments for rights or bonus issues, off market buybacks, issues at less than current market price, share purchase plan, dividend reinvestment plan at a discount, return of capital or dividend or other adjustment). If a change of control event, delisting event or event of default has occurred, Ridgeback may elect to convert the notes into shares or repayment of principal and interest. The Convertible Notes rank at least equal with all present and future unsubordinated and unsecured debt obligations of the Company and contain customary negative pledges regarding financial indebtedness, dividend payments, related party transaction and others.

Details of the warrants granted together with the convertible note at initial recognition date are as follows:

• 8,475,995 warrants were granted which are exercisable at a price of A$0.025 per share on or before 4 August 2025

• 371,445,231 warrants were granted which are exercisable at a price of A$0.0237 per share on or before 4 August 2020

All warrants may be settled on a gross or net basis and the number of warrants or exercise price may be adjusted for a pro rata issue of shares, a bonus issue or capital re-organisation. The Warrants do not confer any rights to dividends or a right to participate in a new issue without exercising the warrant.

As a result of the 10 to 1 share consolidation in November 2019, the above cited warrants have been restated in accordance with the subscription agreement. The exercise prices have been adjusted for the capital raising during the financial year under the anti-dilution clause of share purchase agreements.

The warrant expiry dates remain unchanged. The restated terms are as follows:

• 847,600 warrants with an exercise price of A$0.248 per share

• 37,144,524 warrants with an exercise price of A$0.235 per share

As at 30 June 2020, none of the warrants specified above had been exercised since their initial recognition.

Fair value of convertible notes

The following assumptions were used to determine the initial fair value of the debt component of the convertible note which were based on market conditions that existed at the grant date:

Assumption	Convertible notes			Rationale
Historic volatility		85.0	%	Based on the Company’s historical volatility data
Share price	$	0.051		Closing market share price on 31 July 2015
Risk free interest rate		2.734	%	Based on Australian Government securities yields which match the term of the convertible note
Risk adjusted interest rate		15.0	%	An estimate of the expected interest rate of a similar non-convertible note issued by the company
Dividend yield		0.0	%	Based on the Company’s nil dividend history

The fair value of the convertible note was allocated between a financial liability for the traditional note component of the convertible note and into equity which represents the conversion feature. The traditional note component of the convertible note was initially recorded at fair value of $4.4m, based on the present value of the contractual cash flows of the note discounted at 15%.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

15. NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES – CONVERTIBLE NOTE (CONTINUED)

After initial recognition, the liability component of the convertible note has been measured at fair value as required by AASB 2. The remaining value of the convertible note was allocated to the conversion feature and recognised as equity.

	Note – Liability $		Conversion feature – Equity $
Fair value at issuance		4,419,531		41,431,774
Fair value movements		4,369,582		—

	Consolidated
	30 June 2020 $		30 June 2019 $
Annual leave		300,466		238,570

The current provision for employee benefits is in relation to accrued annual leave and covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service. The entire amount of the provision is presented as current, since the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.

^*  1 American Depository Shares (ADS) listed on NASDAQ equals 10 ordinary shares listed on ASX thus the number of warrants on issue has been grossed up and the exercise price adjusted accordingly in the above table to be comparable.

^**  On 5 November 2019, there was a 10 to 1 share consolidation. The unlisted options have therefore been adjusted accordingly.

Share buy-back

There is no current on-market share buy-back.

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity’s share price at the time of the investment. The consolidated entity is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

31. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Executive Incentive Plan (EIP)

Equity incentives are granted under the Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) which was approved by shareholders at the 2018 Annual General Meeting. In light of our increasing operations globally the Board reviewed the Company’s incentive arrangements to ensure that it continued to retain and motivate key executives in a manner that is aligned with members’ interests.

As a result of that review, an ‘umbrella’ EIP was adopted to which eligible executives are invited to apply for the grant of performance rights and/or options. Equity incentives granted in accordance with the EIP Rules are designed to provide meaningful remuneration opportunities and will reflect the importance of retaining a world-class management team. The Company endeavours to achieve simplicity and transparency in remuneration design, whilst also balancing competitive market practices in France, Germany, and Australia. The company grants Short Term Incentives (STIs) and Long-Term Incentives (LTIs) under the EIP. The weighted average remaining contractual life of performance rights outstanding at the end of the period was less than 2.1 years.

Set out below are summarises of all STI and LTI performance rights granted under the EIP excluding the performance rights issued to non-executive directors:

Our audit approach

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates.

The Group is in the biotechnology industry and is involved in research and development activities focused on cancer immunotherapies. The Group’s corporate head office is located in Australia with research activities undertaken predominantly in Australia, France and Germany.

Materiality	Audit scope	Key audit matters
•  For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group materiality of $662,000, which represents approximately 5% of the Group’s loss before tax. •  We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole. •  We chose Group loss before tax because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured. •  We utilised a 5% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable quantitative loss related thresholds.	•  Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. •  The accounting processes are predominately performed by a Group finance function at the corporate head office in Sydney.	•  Amongst other relevant topics, we communicated the following key audit matters to the Audit and Risk Committee: •  Assessment of impairment indicators on the carrying value of intellectual property intangible assets •  Estimate of grant income •  These are further described in the Key audit matters section of our report.

Page | 76

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context.

Key audit matter	How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Assessment of impairment indicators on the carrying value of intellectual property intangible assets (refer to Note 3(d) and Note 11 to the financial report) [A$15.08m] The Group continues to recognise intellectual property intangible assets that were acquired in previous years. The Group considers annually if there are any impairment indicators that the intellectual property intangible assets are impaired. The main two impairment indicators that the Group considered were: •  market capitalisation •  the ongoing viability of the capitalised intellectual property through continuance of research activities and the status of collaboration agreements with third parties. The Group’s assessment of impairment indicators on the carrying value of intellectual property intangible assets was a key audit matter because the intellectual property asset is the largest asset on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and because of the inherent judgements involved in assessing the relevant indicators of impairment given the current COVID-19 environment and the research and development phase of operations of the Group.	We performed the following audit procedures, amongst others: •  Developed an understanding of the key controls associated with the identification of impairment indicators. •  Developed an understanding on the latest status of research activities and collaboration agreements with third parties utilising the intellectual property assets. We read through publicly available information and made inquiries with management and the board of directors, including the current impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic to ongoing research activities, to assess the adequacy of the Group’s review of impairment indicators for intellectual property assets. •  Compared the market capitalisation of the Group as at 24 August 2020 to the net assets of the Group at 30 June 2020 and considered movement trends in the Group’s market capitalisation throughout the financial year. •  Evaluated the adequacy of disclosures made by the Group in the financial report in view of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
Estimate of grant income (refer to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and to notes 3(a) and 4 to the financial report) [A$5.97m] A key stream income earned by the Group is grant income from governments in Australia and overseas, including Australian Research and Development Rebates and France’s Credit d’Impôt Recherche grants. This income is recognised based on operating costs that qualify for grant income. This was a key audit matter because of the judgement required by the Group in assessing the appropriate grant income to recognise due to the complexity of the rules and regulations governing what operating costs qualify for grant income.	We performed the following audit procedures, amongst others: •  Developed an understanding of each government body’s compliance requirements for approving grant income and the basis used by the Group to recognise this income. •  Examined a sample of grant income transactions during the year to assess if they were appropriately recognised in accordance with the compliance requirements and supported by adequate documentation. Our examination also included comparing the amounts recognised to supporting evidence. •  Compared the nature and classification of the research and development expenditure categorisations included in the current year to the prior year.

Page | 77

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

•  Examined a sample of the eligible operating costs used to calculate the grant income to the expenditure recorded in the general ledger. Our examination also included comparing the amounts recognised to supporting evidence. •  Recomputed the Group’s supporting calculations of accrued receivables for grant income. This included comparing the accrued receivables to previously approved grant income and to subsequent collections as applicable.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
