Commentary related to the above results
Please refer to ‘Item 5.A Operating results’ within the Form 20-F for the year ended 30 June 2021.

A large proportion of the company’s assets are intangible in nature, consisting of intellectual property, goodwill and right-of-use assets. Our Intellectual property and goodwill relate to the acquisition of both Mesoblast, Inc and culture-expanded Mesenchymal Stromal Cell technology. These assets and the associated provision for contingent consideration are excluded from the calculation of net tangible assets per security. The deferred tax liability has also been excluded from the calculation to the extent it relates to future tax obligations as a result of the intellectual property assets deriving revenue at some point in the future. This deferred tax liability has arisen as a direct result of the intellectual property being acquired.

This Appendix 4E should be read in conjunction with the Mesoblast annual report on the form 20-F, which includes:

This preliminary final report has been based on accounts which have been audited. The independent auditors report includes the following statement:

We draw attention to Note 1(i) in the financial report, which indicates over the next twelve months in order to meet forecast expenditure, including repayment of the Hercules debt facility, cash inflows will be required. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on completing either one or more strategic partnerships or restructuring existing loan agreements. The dependency on these planned events indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
