The first half of the financial year to 31st December 2019 was very busy with major reviews/changes underway in all four operating divisions even before the impact of COVID-19 started to affect our TV production and sales operations in UK, US and Australia in February/March 2020. However due to COVID-19 by 31st March 2020 Beyond had completely closed its offices to staff in London, Dublin, Culver City (Los Angeles) and Brisbane. In Sydney the production and post production facility remained operational by adhering to strict COVID-19 social distancing and other requirements while non-essential staff in Sydney were working from home. Effective 1st April 2020 all staff salaries were voluntarily reduced in a range between 5-20%, the CEO’s salary was reduced by 20% and all Non-Executive Directors fees were reduced to zero. These reductions are now being reviewed and a gradual return to previous salary levels is expected to be introduced gradually in stages from 1 October 2020 subject to the COVID-19 restrictions enabling our businesses to resume “normal” operations in UK, Ireland, USA, New Zealand and Australia. As the COVID-19 impacts became clear in February/March 2020 senior management and Directors were coincidently involved in the negotiations that led to the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of the UK based TCB Media Rights Ltd announced to the ASX on 1st April, 2020. This acquisition effectively doubled the size of Beyond’s international sales of TV programmes, significantly increased its catalogue size and led to the creation of Beyond Rights Ltd to replace both Beyond Distribution and TCB Media as trading entities. All of Beyond’s international TV acquisitions and sales are now conducted by Beyond Rights Ltd through its offices in London, Dublin and Sydney. In April 2020 Beyond began negotiating to exit the physical media home entertainment (DVD) business of Beyond Home Entertainment Pty Ltd (BHE) based in Brisbane, Australia. This was a complicated logistical and administrative process involving the novation of major licensing agreements and was finally completed and announced to the ASX on 31st July, 2020 whereby an agreement was entered into with Regency Media Pty Ltd to sell and distribute the existing BHE inventory and assume the role of contracting party to all material BHE license agreements. Any BHE impaired assets were bought to account in the financial statements as at 30 June 2020. For some time as part of its strategic plan, Beyond has been looking for opportunities to expand its TV development and production capacity in US and establish a TV production capacity in the UK, primarily because these are the two major English speaking TV programme production centres. In early 2020 discussions began with Seven Studios Holdings Ltd in Sydney that led to Beyond’s acquisition of the 50.98% of the Los Angeles based 7Beyond Media Rights Ltd that it did not already own and 100% of the London based Seven West Studios Ltd. These two TV development/production acquisitions have become more important to Beyond as COVID-19 has made international air travel by film crews no longer feasible and Beyond’s production executives permanently located in Australia, US and UK are expected to open new business relationships and opportunities even when COVID-19 passes. Although there is currently great uncertainty about the future course of the COVID-19 virus and the duration of its impact in different countries on TV production/sales and international travel, the Directors of Beyond believe the Company has significantly strengthened both its TV production and TV acquisition/sales businesses during 2019-20. The Directors have approved an operating budget for the 2020-21 Financial Year that projects a return to NAT Profit to 30th June 2021 and positive net cash from operations that will allow an increase in working capital and net debt to be reduced in the period. We will also continue to search for suitable acquisitions to grow and strengthen our core businesses.

This compares to the loss after income tax but before minority interests of $2,739,000 for the prior corresponding period. Revenues were up by $2,134,000 or 2.6% compared to the 2019 financial year. EBITDA for the 2020 financial year was $1,231,000, down 73.3% or $3,377,000 on the prior corresponding period, while EBIT was negative $6,332,000 compared to a negative EBIT in the 2019 financial year of $1,577,000. The decline in EBITDA/EBIT was mainly a result of the impact COVID-19 on the production process as a number of programs were delayed due to social distancing protocols being formulated and implemented and mandatory travel restrictions introduced both internationally and domestically for the production crews and on air talent. This had a flow on effect within the distribution segment as programs could not be completed and delivered to clients. COVID-19 also had a significant impact on the result of the digital marketing segment with lockdowns in Australia and New Zealand causing disruption to digital marketing campaigns in both countries and the disruption of having creative/technical staff working from home. While the decline in the trading conditions for Home Entertainment (BHE) continued, comparative revenues improved during the period of lockdown. As announced to the market on 31 July 2020, operationally the home entertainment segment has been transferred to Regency Media resulting in a number of impairments being booked at 30 June 2020. Since the advent of COVID-19, Beyond has received a total of $0.7 million in Job Keeper support, received a loan from the US Government of $0.4 million, which will be forgiven, and $0.1m from the New Zealand Government for wage support. 6 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2020 OVERVIEW OF RESULTS (continued) From 1 April 2020 Directors gave up 100% of their fees and all staff agreed to reductions in their remuneration ranging between 5% and 20%. This resulted in savings of $0.5 million to 30 June 2020. A number of other assets were reviewed, and impairment and other write-downs processed, including BHE $7.3 million, goodwill of Beyond D and Eurocam ($2.7 million), capitalised production costs ($1.5 million) and unrecouped distribution advances ($0.7 million). Total impairments and write-downs of $12.2 million were offset by a discount on the acquisition of TCB Media Rights of $9.0 million with a net impact of $3.2 million.

TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS AND COPYRIGHT SEGMENT Segment revenue reduced by $0.8 million or 1.7% to $44.8 million compared to the prior year. The decline in revenue has been driven by production protocols required to deal with COVID-19 with delays in the scheduled production of My Lottery Dream Home, Deadly Women, Love It Or List It Australia and Selling Houses Australia. Broadcasters also delaying production commissioning decisions. Key programs produced by 7Beyond in the year were My Lottery Dream Home for HGTV and a second season of Gingerbread Holiday Showdown for Food Network. Internal production included returning series of Selling Houses Australia and Love It Or List It Australia for Foxtel Australia, Halifax Retribution for Nine Network and Deadly Women for Discovery ID. New series commissioned include The Invisibles shown on National Geographic and SBS, White Heat Downunder for Discovery and Beautiful Gardens for Seven Network. The decline in production revenues was partially offset by higher copyright revenues of $1.1 million compared to the prior corresponding period. The growth in copyright revenues was due to strong sales of earlier Deadly Women series. The segment EBIT prior to one-off items was $4.0 million, including 7Beyond, and was 4% or $0.1 million higher than the $4.9 million reported in the 2019 financial year. The reduction in EBIT compared to the prior corresponding period results from the delays in scheduled production due to COVID-19. A one-off write-down of the carrying value of Mythbusters was recognised in the current financial year of $1.5m. EBIT for the 2020 financial year after the one-off item is $2.5m. During the 2020 financial year, 135 hours of television commenced production. This included 54 hours commissioned by US broadcasters. While overall, hours of production declined from 149 hours in the 2019 financial year, the number of hours produced for the US increased by 2% year on year. Beyond has continued to produce programs for a number of USA based broadcasters including Discovery Science, HGTV, Discovery ID, Velocity, Travel Channel, The Food Network 8 and FUSE. Programs commissioned by the US broadcast market in 2020 included returning series of Deadly Women, now in its 14th season, and My Lottery Dream Home series 8 and 9. New series produced in 2020 include Holiday Gingerbread Showdown series 2, The Invisibles and White Heat Downunder. The acquisition of Seven West Studios Limited in early July 2020 adds the UK version of Pooch Perfect for the BBC to the 2020/21 production schedule, while the US version of Pooch Perfect is in final stages of development with a major US platform. The popularity of Love It Or List It Australia continues, with season 4 commissioned by Foxtel. COVID-19 has caused commencement of production of the 14th season of Selling Houses Australia to be delayed. Other Australian program commissions produced during the period included Halifax Retribution, the 2020 Santos Tour Down Under, Beautiful Gardens, Wild Weather, Facing Monsters, and the Gfinity Supercars E-series. The strategic focus for the coming 12 months continues to be: • targeting buyers who co-produce rather than fully commission programs • strengthening relationships with “new media” outlets, including SVOD and social media platforms • capitalising on strong relationships with existing clients and within our proven genre strengths; and • early adoption of new technology to gain market leadership and reputation. This includes the production of Ultra High Definition (4k) content as well as Virtual Reality content to augment linear content production. The recent acquisition of Seven Studios UK (renamed Beyond Screen Productions) provides Beyond’s entry into the UK production market with Pooch Perfect now in production in Manchester, UK. The acquisition in July 2020 of the 50.98% of 7Beyond (renamed Beyond Media Rights) not owned by Beyond will improve the margins earned from the US production slate from the 2020/21 financial year. All of Beyond’s production ventures have a substantial forward order book and a deep slate of projects in development and are actively working with US, UK and international broadcasters and digital platforms to develop and produce new programs for the world market. 2. DISTRIBUTION TV AND FILM SEGMENT Revenue increased by $6.8 million or 32.1% to $28.0 million compared to the corresponding 2019 period. In April 2020 Beyond acquired 100% of the issued capital of TCB Media Rights Ltd. TCB is a media distribution business based in London England and was a competitor to Beyond’s international distribution business. TCB’s program catalogue is complimentary to Beyond’s catalogue and there will be material synergies achieved by merging the businesses. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the acquisition of TCB Media Right (renamed Beyond Rights) in April 2020. TCB contributed revenues of $6.7 million in the period 15 April to 30 June 2020. Delays in scheduled 3rd party productions due to COVID-19 impacted the titles that would normally have been available for distribution in the period. COVID-19 resulted in the international television market MIPTV held in April each year cancelled and it is expected that there will be little attendance at the MIPCOM trade market scheduled to be held in October 2020. EBIT before one-off items was $1.6m, in line with the corresponding 2019 period. A one-off write-down relating to unrecouped advances paid to third party producers of $0.7m was recognised in the current financial year, as well as $1.0 million in restructuring costs in TCB. EBIT for the 2020 financial year after the one-off items was a small loss of $74,000. The integration of the existing Beyond distribution and TCB will be completed in the first quarter of the 2021 financial year, with significant synergies to be achieved. During the year significant sales for third party productions were achieved for existing franchises of Highway Thru Hell, Love It or List It, Chasing Monsters and Heavy Rescue 401. Deadly Women from Beyond Productions continue to perform well. Best sellers in the TCB catalogue included Abandoned Engineering, Border Patrol, Combat Ships, Extreme Ice Machines and Giant Lobster Hunters. MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2020 4. DIGITAL MARKETING SEGMENT (BEYOND D) The operating EBIT result for the 12 months ended 30 June 2020 saw a decline of $1.6 million with a loss of $1.1 million against a profit of $0.5 million for the corresponding prior period. Revenues declined by $1.7 million year on year. Full year revenues for Beyond D were $6.7 million, 20% down on last year’s total of $8.4 million. The reduction was due to a softening in retail trading generally in the quarter leading up to Christmas 2019, worsened by the lockdowns implemented in Australia and New Zealand because of COVID-19. The New Zealand client base is dominated by travel clients, and both Australian and New Zealand offices have e-commerce clients that were impacted by delivery restrictions. Amongst this uncertainty there were still some positives with the engagement of a new large client in Kennards Self Storage and the build of several high-profile digital assets for The Ramsay Institute and Dymocks Booksellers. While the year’s result is disappointing, the continued work on reducing costs combined with the engagement of additional blue chip clients, means that management expects that the business can create a base in the coming 12 months that will position the division for a return to profitability. Based on the softening market and continued uncertainty in relation to COVID-19, the decision has been made to write down the goodwill carrying value of $1.1 million to zero. Internally produced programming sales increased by $1.75 million in the 2020 financial year to $6.3m, driven by strong sales for Deadly Women, The Invisibles and Mythbusters. New releases acquired for the 2020 financial year include a continuing expansion of the Love It Or List It program franchise, new series of Highway Thru Hell, Heavy Rescue: 401 and Chasing Monsters. Third party programs are primarily sourced from independent producers in the US, UK, Australia and Canada. Product focus continues to be factual series, documentaries, family and children’s programs as there is a steady demand for these genres from broadcasters throughout the world. The client base has expanded during the past two years with the digital platforms (SVOD and AVOD) such as You Tube rapidly becoming key revenue drivers for the Company’s programs. 3. HOME ENTERTAINMENT SEGMENT (BHE) Revenue decreased by 25.5% to $5.6 million compared to $7.5 million in the corresponding 2019 period. The decline in revenue for BHE mirrors the decline in the physical media market (DVD) in Australia. The total physical media market contracted 25% during the period under review. BHE recorded an operating loss of $1.3 million, excluding business closure costs and impairments for the twelve- months ending 30 June 2020 (2019: loss of $2.0 million). Depreciation and amortisation expense in fiscal 2020 were $1.7 million (2019: $2.6 million). The decision was taken late in the 2020 financial year to exit the home entertainment segment. Beyond has reached agreement with key licensors to novate contracts for programming to Regency Media, including AETN, Pokemon, AFL and NRL. The decision to exit has meant that a review of the carrying value of assets has been undertaken, with significant impairments relating to goodwill, inventory, unrecouped advances and pre-paid marketing expenditure being booked in the year ending 30 June 2020. The total write down and impairment booked was $7.4m. 9 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 2020FOREIGN EXCHANGE – IMPACT ON RESULTS The Group has significant exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in the television production and distribution operating segments with approximately 52% of Group revenues derived from outside Australia. In the normal course, the company generally hedges production costs denominated in US$. Foreign currency contracts entered into by the distribution segment are generally not hedged. There continued to be volatility in the currency markets during the reporting period, with the Australian dollar continuing to decline against the major currencies. The total foreign exchange gain for FY2020 is $297,000 (2019: gain of $300,000). This gain is allocated to the operating segments as follows: ITEM SEGMENT JUNE 2020 JUNE 2019 MOVEMENT $ MOVEMENT % Realised Gain/(Loss) Distribution/TV 25,324 (69,783) 95,107 Unrealised Gain/(Loss) Distribution/TV Realised (Loss)/Gain Unrealised Gain/(Loss) Realised Loss/(Gain) Unrealised Loss/(Gain) TOTAL FX GAIN / (LOSS) Production Production Other Other (4,488) (38,149) 30,425 139,274 119,711 (124,200) (87,980) 49,831 50,603 (20,178) (31,799) 147,119 (145,044) 299,505 (164,292) 171,073 292,163 463,797 136% 104% 57% 40% 538% 201% (282%) DIVIDEND The Directors have determined that there will be no final dividend for the 2020 financial year. CONCLUSION 1. In April 2020 the Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of TCB Media Rights Ltd. (TCB) , a London based international media rights distribution business. Since that time, we have implemented a number of management changes in the Company’s distribution business including appointing an experienced media executive as CEO of TCB, now Beyond Rights Limited, our existing media distribution company in England, Beyond Distribution (UK) Limited (Beyond Distribution) and a number of other entities. A re-organisation of TCB and Beyond Distribution is in progress. Unfortunately, a number of employee redundancies are anticipated at both companies. If confirmed, the resulting expenses will be brought to account in the 2021 financial year but offset largely by synergistic benefits. This acquisition combined with our existing media distribution operations will significantly increase the market share and revenues of the media rights business and materially improve profitability in FY 2021 and thereafter. The acquisition of TCB resulted in a discount on acquisition of $9 million being booked and the acquisition was funded using the Groups existing banking facilities. 2. In July 2020 the Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of Seven Studios (UK) Limited (SSUK) from the Seven West Media Ltd (ASX: SWM) group. This acquisition has resulted in Beyond now producing a new 8-part series for the BBC in August called Pooch Perfect and My Lottery Dream Home International will be produced for HGTV in FY 2021. This corporate acquisition provides the Company with a highly regarded senior creative executive team in the UK which has a track record of having programs commissioned by UK broadcasters. Beyond Rights will distribute the UK and Australian completed versions of Pooch Perfect and has secured the international format rights to the program. 3. In July 2020 the Company took complete control of 7 Beyond Media Rights Ltd (7 Beyond) by acquiring the 50.98% of the capital of 7 Beyond it did not previously own. The US based operations of 7 Beyond will merge with Beyond Productions and will be led locally by an experienced team of experienced media executives to strengthen the Company’s production and development activities with the US media platforms. As noted Beyond has a number of long running series commissioned in the USA including My Lottery Dream Home and Deadly Women for production in FT 2021. In addition, a US version of Pooch Perfect is planned for production in the first half of this financial year. Since July 2020 the US business has secured three new series orders from US platforms for production in the FT 2021. The funding of the acquisitions of 7Beyond and SSUK is from the Company’s existing banking facilities and operational cash flows. 4. In July 2020 the Company entered into a transaction with Regency Media Pty Limited (Regency) to sell and distribute the existing Beyond Home Entertainment (BHE) inventory and assume the role of contracting party to all material license agreements previously contracted to BHE. As a result, a number of staff were made redundant in the 2020 FY with additional redundancies to take place in September 2020 as Regency will manage the DVD program catalogue. Details of the non-cash impairments resulting from this transaction are detailed above with no further losses forecast from the BHE business in FY 2021. The Company is now set up to focus on two core activities : • The development and creation of media content in the English language from its production operations in the USA, UK and Australia; and • The distribution and licensing of completed media content to international market. 10 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2020 Beyond reacted quickly to the COVID-19 by implementing work from home protocols and voluntary salary reductions across all operations from 1 April 2020. The executives and staff were able to transition working from home with minimal disruption to most activities, however as noted above a number of productions have been delayed as a result of COVID-19. Beyond’s IT systems were well set up to cope with the majority of staff in five countries working from home. At this time most of the workforce is still working from home whilst media productions are proceeding in Australia, the UK and the USA utilising strict COVID-19 protocols in terms of work practices. Beyond’s workforce have made many sacrifices to support the Company through these trying times and the Board is most thankful for their cooperation and ingenuity. The impact of the above-mentioned corporate transactions combined with the existing production and distribution activities will materially increase the revenue and profits that the Company will derive in the 2021 financial year and the Company is projected to return to EBIT and NPAT profit this financial year.

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE As at the date of this report, 44% of the organisation were women (56% men); and 44% of senior executive positions were occupied by women (56% men). For this purpose, the Board defines a senior executive as a person who makes, or participates in the making of, decisions that affect the whole or a substantial part of the business or has the capacity to affect significantly the company’s financial standing. This therefore includes all senior management and senior executive designated positions as well as senior specialised professionals. No entity within the consolidated entity is a ‘relevant employer’ for the purposes of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 and therefore no Gender Equality Indicators to be disclosed. RECOMMENDATION 1.6 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD (A) HAVE AND DISCLOSE A PROCESS FOR PERIODICALLY EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BOARD, ITS COMMITTEES AND INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORS; AND (B) DISCLOSE, IN RELATION TO EACH REPORTING PERIOD, WHETHER A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION WAS UNDERTAKEN IN THE REPORTING PERIOD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT PROCESS. The company does not currently have a formal process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees or individual directors. The Board conducts an introspective annual discussion of its performance on a collective basis to identify general aspects of its performance that could be improved upon, and such analysis includes the roles played by each Board member. Such reviews therefore encapsulate collective discussion around the performance of individual Board members, their roles on specific projects during the financial year, and where relevant, how their role could be modified or suggestions for individual development or performance improvement for the future. Until such time as the company expands to justify an expansion of Board members, the Board is of the current opinion that such performance evaluation is suitable for the company. RECOMMENDATION 1.7 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD (A) HAVE AND DISCLOSE A PROCESS FOR PERIODICALLY EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS SENIOR EXECUTIVES; AND (B) DISCLOSE, IN RELATION TO EACH REPORTING PERIOD, WHETHER A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION WAS UNDERTAKEN IN THE REPORTING PERIOD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT PROCESS. The Board conducts an annual performance assessment of the CEO against agreed performance measures determined at the start of the year. The CEO undertakes the same assessments of senior executives. In assessing the performance of the individual, the review includes consideration of the senior executive’s function, individual targets, group targets, and the overall performance of the company. Such reviews are conducted during the first quarter of a new financial year. RECOMMENDATION 2.1 - THE BOARD OF A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD: (A) HAVE A NOMINATION COMMITTEE WHICH: (1) HAS AT LEAST THREE MEMBERS, A MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS; AND (2) IS CHAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR, AND DISCLOSE: (3) THE CHARTER OF THE COMMITTEE; (4) THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE; AND (5) AS AT THE END OF EACH REPORTING PERIOD, THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE COMMITTEE MET THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AND THE INDIVIDUAL ATTENDANCES OF THE MEMBERS AT THOSE MEETINGS; OR (B) IF IT DOES NOT HAVE A NOMINATION COMMITTEE, DISCLOSE THAT FACT AND THE PROCESSES IT EMPLOYS TO ADDRESS BOARD SUCCESSION ISSUES AND TO ENSURE THAT THE BOARD HAS THE APPROPRIATE BALANCE OF SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, INDEPENDENCE AND DIVERSITY TO ENABLE IT TO DISCHARGE ITS DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES EFFECTIVELY. The Board does not maintain a Nomination Committee as it is considered that the current size of the Board does not warrant the formal establishment of a separate committee. The Board therefore performs the function of such a committee which includes the identification of skills and competencies required for the Board and related committees, as well as nomination, selection and performance evaluation of non-executive directors. The Board does not actively manage succession planning and instead relies upon the Board’s extensive networking capabilities and/or executive recruitment firms to identify appropriate candidates when a Board vacancy occurs or when a vacancy is otherwise envisaged. Attributes of candidates put forward will be considered for ‘best-fit’ to the needs of the Board which are assessed at the time of the vacancy. RECOMMENDATION 2.2 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD HAVE AND DISCLOSE A BOARD SKILLS MATRIX SETTING OUT THE MIX OF SKILLS AND DIVERSITY THAT THE BOARD CURRENTLY HAS OR IS LOOKING TO ACHIEVE IN ITS MEMBERSHIP. The Board’s skills matrix indicates the mix of skills, experience and expertise that are considered necessary at Board level for optimal performance of the Board. The matrix reflects the Board’s objective to have an appropriate mix of industry and professional experience including skills such as leadership, governance, strategy, finance, risk, IT, HR, policy development, international business and customer relationship. External consultants may be brought in with specialist knowledge to address areas where this is an attribute deficiency in the Board. 14 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 2020 RECOMMENDATION 2.3 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD DISCLOSE: (A) THE NAMES OF THE DIRECTORS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD TO BE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS; (B) IF A DIRECTOR HAS AN INTEREST, POSITION, ASSOCIATION OR RELATIONSHIP OF THE TYPE DESCRIBED IN BOX 2.3 BUT THE BOARD IS OF THE OPINION THAT IT DOES NOT COMPROMISE THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE DIRECTOR, THE NATURE OF THE INTEREST, POSITION, ASSOCIATION OR RELATIONSHIP IN QUESTION AND AN EXPLANATION OF WHY THE BOARD IS OF THAT OPINION; AND (C) THE LENGTH OF SERVICE OF EACH DIRECTOR. Details of the Board of directors, their appointment dated, length of service as independence status is as follows: DIRECTOR’S NAME DATE APPOINTED Ian Robertson 27 September 2005 LENGTH OF SERVICE AT REPORTING DATE 14 years INDEPENDENCE STATUS Independent Non- executive The Board may determine that a director is independent notwithstanding the existence of an interest, position, association or relationship of the kind identified in the examples listed under Recommendation 2.3 of the ASX Principles and Recommendations. RECOMMENDATION 2.4 - A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD OF A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS. There are currently 4 members on the company’s Board. Having regard to the company’s response to Recommendation 2.3 above, the majority of the Board are not independent. The Board considers that the company is reliant upon the business relationships and interests that it has with the non-independent directors in order to achieve its objectives at this time. Until such time as the company is of a size that warrants the appointment of additional non- executive and independent directors, the Board is of the view that the absence of a majority of independent directors is not an impediment to its operations, shareholders or other stakeholders RECOMMENDATION 2.5 - THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD BE AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AND, IN PARTICULAR, SHOULD NOT BE THE SAME PERSON AS THE CEO OF THE ENTITY. The roles of the Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are separate. Ian Ingram is Chair of the Board and is not considered to be an independent director of the company. Mikael Borglund is the CEO. The Board acknowledges the ASX Recommendation that the Chair of the Board be an independent director, however the Board has formed the view that Mr Ingram is the most appropriate person to lead the Board given his experience and skills. RECOMMENDATION 2.6 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD HAVE A PROGRAM FOR INDUCTING NEW DIRECTORS AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIRECTORS TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO PERFORM THEIR ROLE AS DIRECTORS EFFECTIVELY. New directors undertake an induction program coordinated by the Company Secretary that briefs and informs the director on all relevant aspects of the company’s operations and background. A director development program is also available to ensure that directors can enhance their skills and remain abreast of important developments. PRINCIPLE 3: ACT ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY RECOMMENDATION 3.1 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD: (A) HAVE A CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ITS DIRECTORS, SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND EMPLOYEES; AND (B) DISCLOSE THAT CODE OR A SUMMARY OF IT. The company maintains a code of conduct for its directors, senior executives and employees. In summary, the code requires that each person act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the company; exercise a duty of care; use the powers of office in the best interests of the company and not for personal gain, declare any conflict of interest; safeguard company’s assets and information and undertake any action that may jeopardise the reputation of company. That code is available on the company’s website. PRINCIPLE 4: SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN CORPORATE REPORTING RECOMMENDATION 4.1 - THE BOARD OF A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD: (A) HAVE AN AUDIT COMMITTEE WHICH: (1) HAS AT LEAST THREE MEMBERS, ALL OF WHOM ARE NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS AND A MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS; AND (2) IS CHAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR, WHO IS NOT THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, AND DISCLOSE: (3) THE CHARTER OF THE COMMITTEE; (4) THE RELEVANT QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE; AND (5) IN RELATION TO EACH REPORTING PERIOD, THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE COMMITTEE MET THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AND THE INDIVIDUAL ATTENDANCES OF THE MEMBERS AT THOSE MEETINGS; OR (B) IF IT DOES NOT HAVE AN AUDIT COMMITTEE, DISCLOSE THAT FACT AND THE PROCESSES IT EMPLOYS THAT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY AND SAFEGUARD THE INTEGRITY OF ITS CORPORATE REPORTING, INCLUDING THE PROCESSES FOR THE APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR AND THE ROTATION OF THE AUDIT ENGAGEMENT PARTNER. 15 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 2020The Board maintains a combined Audit and Risk Committee, the members of which are:- DIRECTOR’S NAME Anthony Lee – Chair EXECUTIVE STATUS INDEPENDENCE STATUS Non-Executive Not independent Ian Ingram Non-Executive Not independent The majority of the Committee members and the Chair are not independent.

Where any such person is of any doubt as to whether they possess information that could be classified as market sensitive, they are required to notify the Company Secretary immediately in the first instance. The Company Secretary is required to consult with the CEO in relation to matters brought to his or her attention for potential announcement. Generally, the CEO is ultimately responsible for decisions relating to the making of market announcements. The Board is required to authorise announcements of significance to the company. No member of the company shall disclose market sensitive information to any person unless they have received acknowledgement from the ASX that the information has been released to the market. Details of the qualifications and experience of the members of the Committee is detailed in the ‘Information of directors’ section of the Directors’ report. PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS The Charter of the Committee is available at the company’s website. The number of Committee meetings held and attended by each member is disclosed in the ‘Meetings of directors’ section of the Directors’ report. RECOMMENDATION 4.2 - THE BOARD OF A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD, BEFORE IT APPROVES THE ENTITY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR A FINANCIAL PERIOD, RECEIVE FROM ITS CEO AND CFO A DECLARATION THAT, IN THEIR OPINION, THE FINANCIAL RECORDS OF THE ENTITY HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND THAT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS COMPLY WITH THE APPROPRIATE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND GIVE A TRUE AND FAIR VIEW OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE ENTITY AND THAT THE OPINION HAS BEEN FORMED ON THE BASIS OF A SOUND SYSTEM OF RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL WHICH IS OPERATING EFFECTIVELY.

The company maintains information in relation to governance documents, directors and senior executives, Board and committee charters, annual reports, ASX announcements and contact details on the company’s website. RECOMMENDATIONS 6.2 AND 6.3 A listed entity should design and implement an investor relations program to facilitate effective two-way communication with investors (6.2). A listed entity should disclose the policies and processes it has in place to facilitate and encourage participation at meetings of security holders (6.3). In order for the investors to gain a greater understanding of the company’s business and activities, the company schedules regular interactions between the CEO, CFO and/ or Managing Director where it engages with institutional and private investors, analysts and the financial media. These meetings are not held within a four-week blackout period in advance of the release of interim or full-year results. The company encourages shareholders to attend its AGM and to send in questions prior to the AGM so that they may be responded to during the meeting. It also encourages ad hoc enquiry via email which are responded to. Written transcripts of the meeting are made available on the company’s website. RECOMMENDATION 6.4 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD GIVE SECURITY HOLDERS THE OPTION TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS FROM, AND SEND COMMUNICATIONS TO, THE ENTITY AND ITS SECURITY REGISTRY ELECTRONICALLY. The company engages its share registry to manage the majority of communications with shareholders. Shareholders are encouraged to receive correspondence from the company electronically, thereby facilitating a more effective, efficient and environmentally friendly communication mechanism with shareholders.

The board or a committee of the board should: (a) review the entity’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound; and (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken place (7.2). The Board maintains a combined Audit and Risk Committee. The members of the Committee are detailed in Recommendation 4.2 above. The charter of the Risk Committee can be found on the company’s website. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the company’s risk management framework annually to ensure that it is still suitable to the company’s operations and objectives and that the company is operating within the risk parameters set by the Board. As a consequence of the last review undertaken for the year ended 30 June 2018, there were no significant recommendations made. The Board acknowledges that it has not followed the ASX Recommendations in relation to the number of members and independence due to the size of the Board. The company maintains internal controls which assist in managing enterprise risk, and these are reviewed as part of the scope of the external audit, with the auditor providing the Board with commentary on their effectiveness and the need for any additional controls. The Managing Director and CEO are responsible for monitoring operational risk, ensuring all relevant insurances are in place, and ensuring that all regulatory and compliance obligations of the company are satisfied. RECOMMENDATION 7.3 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD DISCLOSE: (A) IF IT HAS AN INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION, HOW THE FUNCTION IS STRUCTURED AND WHAT ROLE IT PERFORMS; OR (B) IF IT DOES NOT HAVE AN INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION, THAT FACT AND THE PROCESSES IT EMPLOYS FOR EVALUATING AND CONTINUALLY IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ITS RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL PROCESSES. The company does not have a dedicated internal audit function. The responsibility for risk management and internal controls lies with both the Managing Director and CFO who continually monitor the company’s internal and external risk environment. Necessary action is taken to protect the integrity of the company’s books and records including by way of design and implementation of internal controls, and to ensure operational efficiencies, mitigation of risks, and safeguard of company assets. RECOMMENDATION 7.4 - A LISTED ENTITY SHOULD DISCLOSE WHETHER IT HAS ANY MATERIAL EXPOSURE TO ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY RISKS AND, IF IT DOES, HOW IT MANAGES OR INTENDS TO MANAGE THOSE RISKS.

Non-executive directors are remunerated by way of cash fees, superannuation contributions and non-cash benefits in lieu of fees.

The improvement in revenue is due to the acquisition of TCB in April 2020. Revenues for TCB from the date of acquisition to 30 June 2020 was $6,715,000. The segment loss for the twelve months was $74,000 compared to $1,620,000 in 2019.

During the second half of the financial year, the decision was taken by the Board to exit the home entertainment segment. Beyond has reached agreement with key licensors to novate contracts for programming to Regency Media, including AETN, Pokemon, AFL and NRL. The decision to exit has meant that a review of the carrying value of assets has been undertaken, with significant impairments relating to goodwill, inventory, unrecouped advances and pre-paid marketing expenditure being booked in the year ending 30 June 2020. The total write-down and impairment booked was $6,283,000. A further $223,000 of goodwill write-down relating to BHE was booked in the Other segment.

The decline in revenue was due to sluggish sales in the December 2019 quarter and the impact of COVID-19 from March 2020 as lockdowns and restrictions took effect. The division reported a loss before impairments of $1,070,000 for the 12 months compared to a profit of $486,000 in 2019. After allowing for the impairment of goodwill of $1,130,000, the division reported a loss of $2,200,000. 7. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS On 14 April 2020 Beyond acquired 100% of the share capital of TCB Media Rights Limited, a television distribution business based in the United Kingdom, from Kew Media Group, Inc. 8. MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR As at 30 June 2020 the Group was in breach of its banking covenants. On 31 August 2020, the bank waived the covenant breaches. The Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Seven West Studios Limited (incorporated in the United Kingdom) from Seven West Media Limited on 9 July 2020. The Group also acquired the remaining 50.98% ownership in 7Beyond Media Rights Limited (incorporated in the Republic of Ireland) that it didn’t already own from Seven Network (Operations) Limited on the same date. Effective from 1 July 2020, the operations of BHE have been transferred to Regency Media. BHE will continue to recoup costs of inventory and unrecouped advances from sales of existing inventory, as well as a small share of net revenue. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations or the Group’s state of affairs in future years. 23 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 20204. In July 2020 the Company entered into a transaction with Regency Media Pty Limited (Regency) to sell and distribute the existing Beyond Home Entertainment (BHE) inventory and assume the role of contracting party to all material license agreements previously contracted to BHE. As a result, a number of staff were made redundant in the 2020 FY with additional redundancies to take place in September 2020 as Regency will manage the DVD program catalogue. Details of the non-cash impairments resulting from this transaction are detailed above with no further losses forecast from the BHE business in FY 2021. The Company is now set up to focus on two core activities : • The development and creation of media content in the English language from its production operations in the USA, UK and Australia; and • The distribution and licensing of completed media content to international market. The impact of the above-mentioned corporate transactions combined with the existing production and distribution activities will materially increase the revenue and profits that the Company will derive in the 2021 financial year and the Company is projected to return to EBIT and NPAT profit in the 2021 financial year. 9. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Since April 2020 the Company has executed four important transactions: 1. In April 2020 the Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of TCB Media Rights Ltd. (TCB) , a London based international media rights distribution business. Since that time, we have implemented a number of management changes in the Company’s distribution business including appointing an experienced media executive as CEO of TCB, now Beyond Rights Limited, our existing media distribution company in England, Beyond Distribution (UK) Limited (Beyond Distribution) and a number of other entities. A re-organisation of TCB and Beyond Distribution is in progress. Unfortunately, a number of employee redundancies are anticipated at both companies. If confirmed, the resulting expenses will be brought to account in the 2021 financial year but offset largely by synergistic benefits. This acquisition combined with our existing media distribution operations will significantly increase the market share and revenues of the media rights business and materially improve profitability in FY 2021 and thereafter. The acquisition of TCB resulted in a discount on acquisition of $9,036,000 being booked and the acquisition was funded using the Groups existing banking facilities. 2. In July 2020 the Company acquired 100% of the issued capital of Seven Studios (UK) Limited (SSUK) from the Seven West Media Ltd (ASX: SWM) group. This acquisition has resulted in Beyond now producing a new 8-part series for the BBC in August called Pooch Perfect and My Lottery Dream Home International will be produced for HGTV in FY 2021. This corporate acquisition provides the Company with a highly regarded senior creative executive team in the UK which has a track record of having programs commissioned by UK broadcasters. Beyond Rights will distribute the UK and Australian completed versions of Pooch Perfect and has secured the international format rights to the program. 3. In July 2020 the Company took complete control of 7Beyond Media Rights Ltd (7 Beyond) by acquiring the remaining 50.98% ownership of 7Beyond it did not previously own. The US based operations of 7Beyond will merge with Beyond Productions and will be led locally by an experienced team of experienced media executives to strengthen the Company’s production and development activities with the US media platforms. As noted Beyond has a number of long running series commissioned in the USA including My Lottery Dream Home and Deadly Women for production in FT 2021. In addition, a US version of Pooch Perfect is planned for production in the first half of this financial year. Since July 2020 the US business has secured three new series orders from US platforms for production in the 2021 financial year. The funding of the acquisitions of 7Beyond and SSUK is from the Company’s existing banking facilities and operational cash flows. 24 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2020 10.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify all Directors of the Company named in section 1 of this report, and current and former executive officers of the Group, against all liabilities to persons (other than the Company or a related body corporate) which arise out of the performance of their normal duties as Director or executive officer, unless the liability relates to conduct involving a lack of good faith. The Group has agreed to indemnify the Directors and executive officers against all costs and expenses incurred in defending an action that falls within the scope of the indemnity and any resulting payments. The Group paid insurance premiums totalling $37,070 (2019: $25,700) in respect of Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The policy does not specify the premium of individual Directors and executive officers. The directors’ and officers’ liability insurance provides cover against all costs and expenses involved in defending legal actions, and any resulting payments arising from a liability to persons (other than the Company or a related body corporate) incurred in their position as Director or executive officer, unless the conduct involves a wilful breach of duty or an improper use of inside information or position to gain advantage. 26 $50k Three Ways DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2020 13.

BEYOND INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN The Board has adopted an employee share plan (note 30) under which employees and Directors of the Group may subscribe for shares in the Company using funds loaned to them by the Group. The Board has also adopted a share plan on substantially the same terms for consultants of the Group (Consultant Plan). The purpose of the Employee Share Plan is to: • assist in the retention and motivation of employees and Directors of the Group by providing them with a greater opportunity to participate as shareholders in the success of the group; and • create a culture of share ownership amongst the employees of the Group. The employee share plan was approved by shareholders at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting on 12th April 2006. 2,587,500 shares were originally issued under the Employee Share Plan to eligible employees and Directors and the Group has entered into loan agreements with participants to provide the funds necessary to subscribe for those shares. Shares have been issued in accordance with the Employee Share Plan rules. There are 1,525,000 shares still subject to the Employee Share Plan. Under the Employee Share Plan rules the Board of the Group has the power to decide which full time or permanent part-time employees and Directors of the Group will participate in the Employee Share Plan and the number of shares offered to each participant. The number of shares offered to be issued under the Employee Share Plan and Consultants Plan in a five-year period must not exceed 5% of the total number of issued shares at the time of the offer, disregarding certain share issues. The shares granted under the Employee Share Plan may be subject to any restrictions the Board considers appropriate and the Board may implement any procedure the Board considers appropriate to restrict the disposal of shares acquired under the Employee Share Plan. The Board also has the power to vary or terminate the Employee Share Plan at any time, subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.

In particular it ensures that: • All non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee prior to commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and • Non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to audit in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company, or jointly sharing risks and rewards. 16.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT Please see the following URL of the company website page where the statement is located. http://www.beyond.com.au/corporate/ corporate-governance 19. ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial Director’s Report) Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Legislative instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar. 34 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2020 COVID DISCLOSURE The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the financial year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. Because of the rapid increase in exposure globally, on 11 March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused large scale disruption and adverse economic conditions, the impact of which continues to evolve as at the date of authorisation of the Group’s financial statements. Whilst the pandemic has impacted most sectors of the economy in different ways (both positive and negative), the Group’s operations have most notably been effected by the delay in a number of scheduled productions due to social distancing requirements, the flow on effect which has also delayed the distribution of these programs within the distribution segment. The impact of this among other items has resulted in the Group recognising a loss after income tax for the financial year of $6,405,000 (2019: $2,684,000) and net operating cash inflows of $2,472,000 (2019: cash inflows of $1,899,000). Notwithstanding the above, the Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the Group will continue as a going concern, after consideration all of the following factors: • As at 30 June 2020, the Group reported net current assets of $2,790,000 (2019: $10,530,000) and cash and cash equivalents of $8,183,000 (2019: $5,172,000); • On 31 August 2020, the Group obtained a notice of waiver from the St George Bank waiving the event of default in respect to the breach of the Group’s covenants imposed by St George for the financial year ended 30 June 2020; • Management have prepared forecasts for the year ending 30 June 2021 which indicate that the Group can continue to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable for at least the twelve months from the date of authorisation of this report; • The Group is expecting to achieve significant synergies and positive future cash flows from the acquisition of TCB Media Rights Limited during the financial year; • Productions which were previously delayed as a result of COVID-19 social distancing requirements have either recommenced or expected to commence during the 2021 financial year; • In the event of continuing business challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, management are confident in being able to manage working capital through the pursuit of operating efficiencies, re-negotiating financing facilities and accessing JobKeeper extensions where eligible; and Accordingly, the directors believe the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation of the consolidated financial report. 35 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 2020Race to Victory 36 DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2020 AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION Tel: +61 2 9251 4100 Fax: +61 2 9240 9821 www.bdo.com.au Level 11, 1 Margaret St Sydney NSW 2000 Australia DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE BY MARTIN COYLE TO THE DIRECTORS OF BEYOND INTERNATIONAL LIMITED As lead auditor of Beyond International Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020, I declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been: 1.

REPORTING ENTITY Beyond International Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The financial report covers the consolidated entity of Beyond International Limited and its controlled entities (the Consolidated Entity and/ or the Group) as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020. The financial report of Beyond International Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 08 September 2020. 2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This section sets out the significant accounting policies upon which the financial statements are prepared as a whole. Specific accounting policies are described in their respective notes to the financial statements. This section also shows information on new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, and whether they are effective in the current or later years. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise stated. BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, except where stated. The Consolidated Entity has not adopted a policy of revaluing its non-current assets on a regular basis. Non-current assets are revalued from time to time as considered appropriate by the directors and are not stated at amounts in excess of their recoverable amounts. These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency. ROUNDING The Consolidated Entity is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Report) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument, amounts in the directors’ report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Beyond International Limited (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the Consolidated Entity. Losses incurred by the Consolidated Entity are attributed to non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance until the point at which the operations of the minority interest ceases. Any residual balance is then subsequently reclassified to the retained earnings Where the Consolidated Entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Consolidated Entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 31 to the financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost, less any impairment, in the parent entity. FOREIGN OPERATIONS Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted to Australian currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables at the reporting date are translated at exchange rates at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses are brought to account in determining the profit or loss for the year. Exchange gains and losses arising on forward foreign exchange contracts entered into as hedges of specific commitments are deferred and included in the determination of the amounts at which the transactions are brought to account. Specific hedging is undertaken in order to avoid or minimise possible adverse financial effects of movements in foreign exchange rates. If the hedging transaction is terminated prior to its maturity date and the hedged transaction is still expected to occur, deferral of any gains and losses which arose prior to termination continues, and those gains and losses are included in the measurement of the hedged transaction. In those circumstances where a hedging transaction is terminated prior to maturity because the hedged transaction is no longer expected 42 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020 to occur, any previous deferred gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income at the date of termination. All exchange gains and losses relating to other hedge transactions are brought to account in the Statement of Financial Position in the same period as the exchange differences on the items covered by the hedge transactions. Costs on such contracts are expensed as incurred. Exchange gains and losses on the other hedge transactions entered into as hedges of general commitments are brought to account in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the financial year in which the exchange rate changes. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Sections within this financial report whereby estimates and judgments have a material impact are as follows: Assets and liabilities of overseas controlled entities and branches are translated at exchange rates existing at the reporting date and the exchange gain or loss arising on translation is carried directly to a foreign currency translation reserve. • The recoverability of distribution advances and prepaid royalties detailed in Note 11. • The recoverability of capitalised development costs detailed in Note 11. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (“GST”) AND VALUE ADDED TAX (“VAT”) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. • The recoverability of capitalised production costs detailed in Note 11. • The valuation of goodwill detailed in Note 15. • The recoverability of deferred tax assets as detailed in Note 6. • The valuation of right-of-use-assets and the lease liability values as detailed in Note 14 and 21. • The valuation of employee benefits in Note 18. • Uncertain tax positions in Note 6. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS The Group has adopted Interpretation AASB 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments for the first time in the current year. Interpretation 23 sets out how to determine the accounting tax position when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation requires an entity to: • Determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or as a group, and • Assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings. - If yes, the Group should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. - If no, the Group should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax position using either the most likely amount or the expected value method. Management regularly review the transactions with other Beyond related entities and engage tax specialists where required to assess the appropriate tax treatment. Whilst some judgement is required, management are not currently aware of any uncertain tax treatment that would result in a material liability at the reporting date. Additionally, the Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of interpretations of tax law and prior experience. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET MANDATORY OR EARLY ADOPTED Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The consolidated entity’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below. Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the consolidated entity has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity may need to review such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated entity’s financial statements. 43 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 2020GOING CONCERN For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity made a loss after income tax of $6,066,000 (2019: loss of $2,739,000) and was in breach of its banking covenants as disclosed in Note 22. The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the financial year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and the risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. Because of the rapid increase in exposure globally, on 11 March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused large scale disruption and adverse economic conditions, the impact of which continues to evolve as at the date of authorisation of the Group’s financial statements. Whilst the pandemic has impacted most sectors of the economy in different ways (both positive and negative), the Group’s operations have most notably been effected by the delay in a number of scheduled productions due to social distancing requirements, the flow on effect which has also delayed the distribution of these programs within the distribution segment. The impact of this among other items has resulted in the Group recognising a loss after income tax for the financial year of $6,606,000 (2019: $2,739,000) . Notwithstanding the above, the Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the Group will continue as a going concern, after consideration all of the following factors: • As at 30 June 2020, the Group reported net current assets of $4,005,000 (2019: $10,346,000) and cash and cash equivalents of $8,183,000 (2019: $5,172,000); • On 31 August 2020, the Group obtained a notice of waiver from the St George Bank waiving the event of default in respect to the breach of the Group’s covenants imposed by St George for the financial year ended 30 June 2020; • Management have prepared forecasts for the year ending 30 June 2021 which indicate that the Group can continue to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable for at least the twelve months from the date of authorisation of this report; • The Group is expecting to achieve significant synergies and positive future cash flows from the acquisition of TCB Media Rights Limited during the 2021 financial year; commence during the 2021 financial year; and • In the event of continuing business challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, management are confident in being able to manage working capital through the pursuit of operating efficiencies, re-negotiating financing facilities and accessing JobKeeper extensions where eligible. Accordingly, the directors believe the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation of the consolidated financial report. RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATIVES Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. CORRECTION OF ERROR IN CALCULATING PROVISION During the year, Beyond Home Entertainment discovered a computational error in calculating the provision for producers share payable. The error resulted in an understatement of Beyond Home Entertainment direct costs recognised in 2019 and a corresponding understatement in the producers share payable and deferred tax liability. • Productions which were previously delayed as a result of COVID-19 social distancing requirements have either recommenced or expected to The error has been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior period as follows: STATEMENT OF PROFIT AND LOSS (EXTRACT) Home entertainment direct costs Loss before income tax Income tax expense Loss after income tax for the year Balance sheet (extract) Producer share payable Other current liabilities Deferred tax liabilities Net assets Accumulated losses Total equity 2019 $000'S 4,831 (1,973) (637) (2,610) 10,308 18,504 1,391 28,122 (6,447) - MOVEMENT $000’S 184 184 (55) 129 184 184 (55) (129) 129 - RESTARTED 2019 $000'S 5,015 (2,157) (582) (2,739) 10,492 18,688 1,336 27,993 (6,316) - 44 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 4. OPERATING SEGMENTS Management, as the chief operating decision maker, has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board that are used to make strategic decisions. The Board considers the business on a global basis in the following four operating divisions: 1. TV PRODUCTION AND COPYRIGHT Production of television programming and ownership of television product copyright. 2. FILM AND TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION International distribution of television programmes and feature films. 3. HOME ENTERTAINMENT Distribution in Australia and New Zealand of DVDs. 4. DIGITAL MARKETING Online search optimisation, website creation, development and performance and online media sales in Australia and New Zealand. NORTH AMERICA A portion of the group’s production, film and television sales are generated from North America, with production offices in Los Angeles. CORPORATE BENEFIT/(EXPENSE) Includes the parent entity, centralised administrative support services to the group comprising legal and business affairs, finance and human resources, in addition to internet development. None of these activities constitute a separately reportable business segment. GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS Although the Consolidated Entity’s divisions are managed on a global basis they operate in four main geographical areas: AUSTRALIA The home country of the parent entity. The areas of operation include all core business segments. EUROPE Substantial film and television distribution proceeds are derived from European markets. The group’s head office for multinational activities is located in Dublin. This office is responsible for production and development, and for the acquisition and international sales of all television programmes and feature films. The Dublin office manages the direct sales and marketing activities of the office located in London, which represents the second overseas sales office base. REST OF WORLD The Rest of World comprises all other territories from which film and television distribution income is derived including the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist primarily of operating cash, receivables, inventories, capitalised production and development costs, investments, distribution advances, inventories, property, plant and equipment and goodwill and other intangible assets, net of any related provisions. While most of these assets can be directly attributable to individual segments, the carrying amounts of certain assets used jointly by segments are allocated based on reasonable estimates of usage. Segment liabilities consist primarily of trade and other creditors, producers share payable, bills of exchange and employee entitlements. (b) Other segments Segment revenues, expenses and results include transfers between segments. Such transfers are priced on an “arm’s length” basis and are eliminated on consolidation. (c) Major customers Included in each segment revenue total is revenue from customers in excess of 10% of total segment revenue. Total revenues relating to these customers are $49m (2019: $43m) within the TV Production & Copyright and Film & Television distribution segments, $4.7m (2019: $5.9m) within the Home Entertainment segment and $1.4m (2019: $1.4m) within the Digital Marketing segment. 46 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 Supernatural Quest 47 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 20205.

Revenue is recognised when the Group transfers control over a good or a service to a customer either at a point in time or over time. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Revenue for TV Production and Copyright services are recognised over time as the production services are provided to the customer. Each customer contract for TV Production and Copyright services are unique to the customer and it has been determined that there is no alternative use of the production services to the Group. Under the TV Production and Copyright contracts with customers, the Group have an enforceable right to payment for the work completed to date. The input method for determining the amount of revenue to be recognised is assessed based on the costs incurred, which depicts the Group’s transferring of the control of the production to the customer. Revenue for Film & Television Distribution services are recognised at a point in time when the Broadcaster is able to exploit the distribution rights and when the IP rights have been delivered. Both internal and external title IP rights are delivered to the customer by episode. Royalty revenue is recognised at a point in time, being once the revenue can be accurately estimated. Revenue for Home Entertainment is recognised at the point in time when the goods have been accepted as delivered to the customer. For the consignment arrangements, revenue is recognised when the goods have been sold by the retailer to the end-customer. Revenue for Digital Marketing services are recognised over time as the services are provided to the customer. The stage of completion for determining the amount of revenue to recognise is assessed based on either the costs incurred or the time elapsed, depending on which method best depicts the Group’s transferring of the control to the customer. Where amounts are invoiced before revenue is earned, a deferred revenue liability is brought to account. These contract liabilities reflect the consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations. Other income includes jobkeeper government grant of $775,000 which was received in the 2020 financial year. There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attached to these grants. The acquisition of TCB Rights Ltd generated a gain on bargain purchase of $9,035,000 refer (note 27). 48 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 5.

Recognition and measurement In accordance with the details below, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. The Group has recognised tax losses as shown above only to the extent that recoupment is considered probable at the reporting date or where these losses offset deferred tax liabilities. The Australian tax group has unrecognised tax losses available totalling $25,805,704 (2019: $16,391,128). The benefits of these unrecognised tax losses will only be realised if certain conditions are met, including: • The group derives future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefits from the deductions for the losses to be realised; • The group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; • The losses are available under the continuity of ownership or same business tests; • No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses. Movement in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities has gone through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that 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, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (or recovered from) the relevant tax authority. Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. 52 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 6. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued) Recognition and measurement (continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise where amounts have been fully expensed but future deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Tax Consolidation Beyond International Limited and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidated regime. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets, except for any deferred tax assets resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the head entity, being Beyond International Limited. The current tax liability for each group entity is then subsequently assumed by the parent entity. The tax consolidated group has entered into a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable income. Pursuant to the funding arrangement, transfers of tax losses or tax liabilities are assumed by the head entity through intercompany loans. 53 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 20207.

The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before a receivable is recognised: Production debtors - receivables are recognised as they are due for settlement, within a term of no more than 30 days. Licensing debtors - receivable is recognised once a licence agreement is signed by both parties and the programme is able to be delivered. Payment terms are usually based upon signature, delivery and acceptance. In certain contracts instalment payments may extend over the term of the licence agreement. The group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. Bad debts are written off when they are identified. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 month before the beginning of the reporting period and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The group has identified the GDP annual growth rate and the unemployment rate of the regions in which it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. The consolidated entity has increased its monitoring of debt recovery as there is an increased probability of customers delaying payment or being unable to pay, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, the amount of expected credit losses has increased since the previous corresponding period. A default event is defined when a debtor becomes past due. On becoming past due 0-30 days a reminder email is sent and followed up with a phone call. If the default moves into the next bracket of 31-60 days past due the sales executive makes contact with the customer. If the default moves into the 61-90 days a final email is sent and the details are passed onto the lawyers. Once it moves into the 91+ bracket the account is placed on hold and management will discuss if the amount should be written-off. 57 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202010.

Inventories represent stock TV footage and DVD stock at cost. As the footage is used it will be included within the production cost of the programme. Costs of purchasing inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs to make the sale. Inventories sold on consignment remain in the financial statements as stock on hand until sold to the end customer. Costs are assigned to an individual item of inventory on the basis of weighed average costs. During the year, the Group recognised an impairment charge to inventory $1,618,000 (2019: $nil). This impairment was on reflection of the impact of COVID-19 and in response to the execution of the long form agreement with Regency subsequent to the year end, which wrote down the balance of inventory to the Director’s expectations of net realisable value as at the reporting date. 11.

OTHER ASSETS (continued) Recognition and measurement Capitalised development costs Costs of developing new programme concepts, which the Directors believe are probable of being recovered from future revenues, are capitalised. Capitalised costs are costed into the production or are written off in the event that the programme does not proceed. These costs are classified as current assets as the costs of developing new programmes are expected to be realised within one year. The 2020 accounts includes an amount of $350,000 (2019: $228,000) that was expensed during the year. Capitalised production costs Television production costs are capitalised and written down to their net realisable value on a title-by-title basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs to make the sale. Forecast sales revenues are reviewed regularly and the write-off of the asset is recognised as a write-down of content assets as disclosed in note 5(b). Where doubt exists as to the ability to recover the expenditure from future sales, the amounts in doubt is provided for in the year in which the assessment is made. The 2020 accounts includes an amount of $915,000 (2019: $637,000) that was expensed during the year. Assessing future net sales pertaining to Mythbusters titles, an write-down of $1,452,000 (2019: $nil) was recognised against capitalised production costs to reflect their net realisable value at reporting date. The estimates relating to future licencing revenues of each production are re-assessed each financial year and amounts that are not expected to be recouped within 12 months have been reclassified as non-current. Capitalised production costs are disclosed in the accounts net of any cash progress payments received on projects. Where such progress payments exceed these costs the net amounts are disclosed as deferred revenue. Distribution advances and prepaid royalties Distribution advances for television and feature film distribution rights, and prepaid royalties for DVD rights, are capitalised at cost as paid. Distribution advances and prepaid royalties are written down to their net realisable values on a title-by-title basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs to make the sale. During the financial year, $7,895,000 of distribution advances were acquired as part of the acquisition of TCB Media Rights Limited (refer note 27). Distribution advances for various titles were write-down to their net realisable value resulting in a write-down for the year of $681,000 (2019: $451,000). As a result of the wind down of the Home Entertainment division, prepaid royalties were impaired in full to their net realisable value. This resulted in impairment charge in the year of $2,652,000 (2019: $nil). Prepayments Amounts paid in advance are recorded at cost and are subsequently expensed based on the actual month of expenditure. Investment in 3rd party copyright The Group has invested in the rights to receive future revenue streams from 3rd party produced programs, and will be recouped from future sales. A number of other assets relating to the wind down of the Home Entertainment division were impaired in the year, with a write-down of $1,668,000 and an impairment charge of $314,000 (2019: $nil). The amounts impaired included prepaid marketing and pick, pack and ship charges. 59 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202012.

The expected useful lives are 3 to 10 years. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost over its expected useful life to the Consolidated Entity. Estimates of the remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessment for major items. 61 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202014.

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability (resulting in lease modifications). 62 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 15.

The current amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense per the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. If an impairment indication arises, the recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount. Goodwill Goodwill acquired and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill as an indefinite life asset, is tested annually for impairment and 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. (continued next page) 63 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202015. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) Recognition and measurement (continued) Patents and licenses Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life, which is 20 years. Websites and Databases Websites and Databases are recognised at cost. Websites and Databases are amortised over their useful life, which is 3 years, on a straight line basis. Impairment There were impairment losses recognised by the consolidated entity in respect of the goodwill in the current financial year of $4,600,000 (2019: nil). Beyond Home Entertainment business has suffered an impairment of $1,922,000 for 2020 reporting period. The recoverability of the CGU was determined based on the wind-down of the division. Beyond D business has suffered an impairment of $1,153,000 for 2020 reporting period. The recoverability of the CGU was determined based on a decline in future sales growth rates over the five-year forecast period. Beyond Productions business has suffered an impairment of $1,525,000 for 2020 reporting period. The segment of the Production group that the goodwill related to no longer trades. 16.

Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint control. 65 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202017. INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY METHOD (continued) Recognition and measurement (continued) Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the joint venture or associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in joint ventures and associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity’s share of net assets of the joint venture or associate. Goodwill relating to the joint venture or associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Income earned from joint venture entities and associates reduces the carrying amount of the investment. When the consolidated entity’s share of losses in a joint venture or an associate equals or exceeds its investment, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associate. During the 2019 the Consolidated Entity relinquished joint control of 7Beyond Media Rights Ltd by reducing its equity interests from 50% to 49%. As the Consolidated Entity has retained significant influence over the investment, the Consolidated Entity has continued to account for the investment using the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest. 18. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Current Provision for annual leave and long service leave Non-current Provision for long service leave Total employee benefits Annual leave obligations accounted for as current and expected to be settled after 12 months CONSOLIDATED ENTITY 2019 $000'S 2020 $000'S 3,861 3,861 3,749 3,749 186 186 227 227 4,047 3,976 787 787 722 722 Recognition and measurement Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave and long service leave. For long service leave it covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service. The entire amount of the annual leave provision is presented as current, since the consolidated entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the consolidated entity does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. Other long-term employee benefits The liability for long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. 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 reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Defined contribution superannuation expense Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 66 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 19.

As at 30 June 2020, the facility drawn down was $5,456,560 (2019: $Nil). The facility is secured by the intellectual property created by the production. To the extent that there are insufficient sales of the finished program in territories excluding Australia and New Zealand (Rest of World Sales), Beyond Entertainment Limited (BEL) has provided a guarantee for 50% of the loan advanced and secured against Rest of World Sales. The maximum amount that BEL may need to pay under the guarantee is $2,457,838. In 2016 a 100% owned special purpose entity, HL Beyond Limited, took out a limited recourse facility to fund production on The White Rabbit Project. As at 30 June 2019, the facility drawn down was $1,263,000 (2018: $2,999,000) The facility is secured by the intellectual property created by the production and there is no recourse or obligation to repay the facility against any other company in the Group. The liability and the corresponding receivable will be extinguished on either payment by the commissioning broadcaster to the facility provider, or if the commissioning broadcaster defaults on payment. In 2018 a 51% owned special purpose entity, Dumbots S01 Pty Ltd, took out a limited recourse facility to fund production on Dumbots. The facility is secured by the Post Digital and Visual Effects offset receivable. As at 30 June 2020, the facility drawn down was $795,000 (2019 : $795,000). Recognition and measurement Amounts were originally recognised at the fair value of the consideration received. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method with the liability reduced when amounts are received from the debtor. 20.

Variable lease payments are only included in measuring the lease liability if they depend on a rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in the market rate. 22.

BUSINESS COMBINATION (a) Summary of acquisition On 14 April 2020 Beyond International Limited acquired 100% of the issued share capital of TCB Media Rights Limited, a Distribution company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The acquisition further strengthens the group’s existing Distribution division. Details of the purchase consideration, the net assets acquired and goodwill/(gain on bargain purchase) are as follows: Purchase consideration (refer to (b) below): Cash Paid Total purchase consideration The assets and liabilities recognised as a result of the acquisition are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Distribution guarantees Other assets Property plant and equipment Right-of-use assets Intangible assets Deferred tax assets Trade creditors Other liabilities Lease liabilities Deferred tax liabilities Net identifiable assets acquired Deduct: Negative goodwill (gain on bargain purchase) Purchase consideration $000'S 4,245 4,245 FAIR VALUE $000'S 2,757 8,848 7,895 426 25 1,858 49 2,451 (1,596) (7,444) (1,977) (12) 13,280 (9,035) 4,245 As the value of the net assets acquired is greater than the purchase consideration, a discount on acquisition, or negative goodwill is required to be recognised on consolidation. The negative goodwill will not be assessable for income tax purposes and occurred due to the business being in voluntary administration prior to being acquired by Beyond. 70 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 27. BUSINESS COMBINATION (continued) There were no acquisitions in the year ending 30 June 2019. (i) Acquired receivables The fair value of acquired trade receivables is $8,848,000. The gross contractual amount for trade receivables due is $8,848,000 with a loss allowance of nil recognised on acquisition. (ii) Revenue and profit contribution The acquired business contributed revenues of $6,715,000 and net loss of $98,000 to the group for the period from1 April to 30 June 2020. If the acquisition had occurred on the 1 July 2019, consolidated pro-forma revenue and profit for the year end 30 June 2020 would have been $33,967,000 and $1,314,000 respectively. These amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary’s results and adjusting them for: - the exceptional loan write-off, together with the consequential tax effects.

Recognition and measurement A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is obtained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions). When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the changes in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. All transition costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred. 28. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The consolidated entity had no contingent assets as at 30 June 2020 (2019: nil). The consolidated entity has given bank guarantees as at 30 June 2020 of $895,000 (2019: $895,000) to various landlords. 71 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202029.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS General Employee Share Loan Plan The Board has adopted an employee share plan under which employees and Directors of the Consolidated Entity may subscribe for shares in the Company using funds loaned to them by the Consolidated Entity. The Board has also adopted a share plan on substantially the same terms for consultants of the Consolidated Entity (Consultant Plan). The purpose of the Employee Plan is to: (a) assist in the retention and motivation of employees and Directors of the Consolidated Entity by providing them with a greater opportunity to participate as shareholders in the success of the Consolidated Entity; and (b) create a culture of share ownership amongst the employees of the Consolidated Entity. There have been three issues of shares under the Employee Share plan as follows: – On 21 April 2006, 962,500 shares were issued under the Employee Plan to eligible employees and Directors of Beyond International Limited and its controlled entities. 600,000 of these shares remain redeemable at 30 June 2020. – On 7 December 2009, 300,000 shares were issued under the Employee Plan to eligible employees and Directors of Beyond International Limited and it’s controlled entities. 200,000 of these shares remain redeemable at 30 June 2020. – On 11 March 2010, 1,325,000 shares were issued under the Employee Plan to eligible employees and Directors of Beyond International Limited and it’s controlled entities. 725,000 of these shares remain redeemable at 30 June 2020. In all cases the company entered into limited non-recourse loan agreements to provide participants the funds necessary to subscribe for those shares. Shares were issued in accordance with the Employee Plan rules. The loans were made based on the greater of market value of the shares on allotment date and $0.645 (Dec 09 - 2010 plan), $0.75 (Mar 10 - 2010 plan) & $0.60 (2006 plan). As the loans are non-recourse, the value of the loans are not recognised as an asset, and the corresponding share value is not recorded in equity. The total of the Plan Shares are included in Issued Capital at note 23(a). 72 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 30. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (continued) General Employee Share Loan Plan (continued) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, each Participant has a legal and beneficial interest in the Shares issued to him or her and is at all times absolutely entitled to those Plan Shares, except that any dealings with those Shares by the Participant may be restricted in accordance with the plan rules. Plan Shares rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of issue in respect of all rights issues, bonus issues, dividends and other distributions to, or entitlements of, holders of existing Shares where the record date for such corporate actions is after the relevant Plan Shares are issued. On termination, the Participant may elect to pay the loan or transfer all of their Plan Shares back to the Company, subject to requirements of the Corporations Act. If the Participant transfers the shares back to the Company, the Company may: i) transfer the Plan Shares for the issue price to a person nominated by the Company; or ii) procure a broker to sell all or any of the Plan Shares on-market.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (i) Capital Risk Management The Consolidated Entity manages its capital to ensure that entities in the group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders. The Consolidated Entity’s strategy remains unchanged from 2019. The capital structure of the group consists of cash and equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent entity, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Consolidated Entity operates globally, primarily through subsidiary companies established in the markets in which the group trades. The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these are given priority in all capital risk management decisions. For further details on events of default on these financing arrangements, refer to note 22. Operating cash flows are used to make the routine outflows of tax and dividends. (ii) Market Risk The Consolidated Entity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (refer Note 32 (iii)). (iii) Foreign Currency Risk Management The Consolidated Entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Derivative financial instruments are used by the Consolidated Entity to hedge exposure to exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency trade receivables. Mark-to-market gains on derivative financial instruments used by the economic entity are recognised in the financial statements. Transactions for hedging purposes are undertaken without the use of collateral as only reputable institutions with sound financial positions are dealt with. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The Consolidated Entity is mainly exposed to US Dollars (USD), Euro (EUR), Great British Pounds (GBP) and New Zealand Dollars (NZD). The carrying amount of the foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities at the reporting date is as follows: CONSOLIDATED ENTITY US Dollars Euro Great British Pound New Zealand Dollars Other 2020 2019 FINANCIAL ASSETS $000'S 8,953 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES $000'S (1,259) FINANCIAL ASSETS $000'S 9,101 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES $000'S (1,562) 2,218 12,749 58 10 (233) (2,632) 108 - 1,972 3,004 219 41 (51) (228) (212) (40) 23,990 (4,016) 14,336 (2,094) 77 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202032. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The following table details the Consolidated Entity’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. A sensitivity rate of 10% is considered reasonable based on exchange rate fluctuations over the past 12 months. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency financial assets and liabilities and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. CONSOLIDATED ENTITY 2020 2019 Profit/(loss) 10% INCREASE $000'S (2,546) (2,546) 10% DECREASE $000'S 3,112 10% INCREASE $000'S (1,494) 10% DECREASE $000'S 1,826 3,112 (1,494) 1,826 (iv) Interest Rate Risk Management The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to interest rate risk is minimal. The Consolidated Entity’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note, per below. The average effective interest rate on cash at bank was 2.31% (2019: 1.68%). The average effective interest rate on borrowings was 1.49% (2019: 3.53%). Interest rate sensitivity analysis The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A sensitivity analysis of 50 basis points is considered reasonable based on interest rate fluctuations over the past 12 months. At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, net interest received from cash held by the Consolidated Entity would move by $26,380 (2019: $27,380). At reporting date, if interest rates on borrowings had been 50 points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, net interest payable from borrowings held by the Consolidated Entity would move by $8,589 (2019: $4,049). (v) Liquidity Risk Management Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Consolidated Entity’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. This framework is not formally documented. The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Included in note 8(b) is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Consolidated Entity has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk. 78 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 32.

The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. This information is supplied by credit rating agencies and, if not available, the Consolidated Entity uses publicly available financial information to assess the credit-worthiness. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse geographical areas. Ongoing reviews are conducted of accounts receivable balances. The Consolidated Entity does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The credit risk on financial assets of the Consolidated Entity which are recognised on the Statement of Financial Position is generally the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. 79 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 202032. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) (vii) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying values. A discount rate of 8% (2019: 8%) has been applied to all non-current receivables & payables to determine fair value. The fair value of other monetary financial assets and liabilities is based upon market prices where a market exists or by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current interest rates for assets and liabilities with similar risk profiles. For forward exchange contracts the fair value is taken to be the unrealised gain or loss as at the date of the report calculated by reference to the current forward rates for similar contracts.

These 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. Revenue recognition Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Australian Accounting Standard AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (‘AASB 15’) users a five step model to recognise revenue. A number of estimates and judgements are made by Management in order to determine the point at which performance obligations are met and revenue can be recognised. Due to these factors and the overall significance of revenue to the Group, we considered this area to be a key audit matter. To determine whether revenue was appropriately accounted for and disclosed within the financial statements, we undertook, amongst others, the following audit procedures:  Critically evaluated the revenue recognition policies for all material sources of revenue and from our detailed testing performed, ensured that revenue was being recognised appropriately, in line with Australian Accounting Standards and policies disclosed within the financial statements. This included ensuring that revenue was recognised in accordance with the requirements of AASB 15.  Selecting a sample of revenue transactions from all significant revenue streams, agreeing revenue recognised to supporting documentation to confirm the existence and accuracy of the revenue recognised and to consider whether the transactions were recorded in the correct period. Valuation of other assets Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit As at 30 June 2020, the Group recognised other assets of $26,719,000 which included capitalised production costs of $8,765,000, capitalised development costs of $2,348,000, distribution advances of $9,757,000 and investments in productions and 3rd party copyright of $4,926,000 as disclosed in Note 11. Due to the judgements applied by Management in forecasting future sales to support the carrying Our audit procedures for assessing the carrying value of the Group’s other assets included, but were not limited to, the following:  Performing a detailed analysis of the costs capitalised during the period in relation to specific titles, including an assessment of the inputs and estimates applied.

Accounting for the acquisition of TCB Media Rights Limited Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit As disclosed in Note 27 of the financial report, effective 14 April 2020, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of TCB Media Rights Limited, a distribution company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The audit of the accounting treatment applied to this acquisition is a key audit matter due to the judgements and complexity involved in assessing the determination of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 3: Business Combinations (‘AASB 3’). Our audit procedures for addressing this key audit matter included, but were not limited to, the following:  Reviewing the acquisition agreement to understand the key terms and conditions, and confirming our understanding of the transaction with Management.  Comparing the assets and liabilities recognised on acquisition against the executed agreements and the historical financial information of the acquired business.  Evaluating and challenging the assumptions made and methodology used in Management’s determination of 89 BEYOND INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT 2020 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, particularly with respect to the valuation of the distribution advances.  Critically analysing the consistency of accounting policies applied by TCB Media Rights Limited from the acquisition date with the accounting policies of the Group.  Auditing the disclosures associated with the acquisition to ensure they were complete and accurate and reflected the requirements of AASB 3. Going Concern Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Note 3 of the financial report outlines the basis of preparation of the financial statements which indicates being prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates that the Group will continue to meet its commitments in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding the above, during the financial year, the Group was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of the Government imposed restrictions which resulted in the deferral of program production in the final quarter of the financial year. Due to the continued uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact on the timing of the Group’s future cash flow forecasts, we considered this area to be a key audit matter. Our audit procedures for addressing this key audit matter included, but were not limited to, the following:  Obtaining and evaluating management’s assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Assessing management’s assumptions in the cash flow forecasts to assess whether current cash levels along with expected cash inflows and expenditure can sustain the operations of the Group for a period of at least 12 months from the date of authorisation of the financial report.  Reviewing the conditions of the financing facility in place with the St George Bank as at 30 June 2020 and the date of authorisation of the financial report. Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information contained in the Directors’ Report (excluding the audited Remuneration Report section) for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report 90 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 2020 thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report to Shareholders, which is expected to be made available to us after that date. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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 identified above 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. When we read the Annual Report to Shareholders, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and will request that it is corrected. If it is not corrected, we will seek to have the matter appropriately brought to the attention of users for whom our report is prepared. 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 has 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. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
