Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2019 

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as 
the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Candy Club Holdings Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') 
and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the period ended 31 December 2019. 

Directors 
The following persons were directors of Candy Club Holdings Limited during the whole of the financial period and up to the 
date of this report, unless otherwise stated: 

Keith Cohn  
Robert Hines (resigned 3 October 2019) 
Chi Kan Tang   
Zachry David Rosenberg (resigned on 16 September 2019) 
James Baillieu (appointed 7 February 2019 and resigned 28 February 2019 and reappointed on 16 September 2019) 
Andrew Clark (appointed 3 October 2019) 

Principal activities 
During the financial period the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of: 
● 

 online and business to business candy distribution in the United States. 

Dividends 
There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial period. 

Review of operations 
The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $7,844,962 (31 December 2018: $1,298,090). 

The 2019 year was a transformational year for Candy Club as it refocused the majority of its resources towards building its 
B2B  wholesale  business,  repositioned  its  B2C  subscription  business  to  be  run  for  maximum  efficiency  vs.  scale  and 
completed its public listing on the ASX. 

Candy Club’s B2B segment saw an increase in the total number of retail doors shipped in FY2019 by 275% from 1,200 to 
4,500. Candy  Club  continues  to  experience  rapid  accelerating  growth  in  the  number  of  retail  doors  carrying  its  product 
resulting from signing partnerships with large US national retailers. It has continued to add large, prominent retailers in Q1 
2020 and is on pace to penetrate 8,000 retail doors by April 2020 with a target to achieve more than 15,000 retail doors by 
December 2020. 

Candy Club recorded outstanding retail sales in 2019 and repeat orders accounted for 55% of total revenue in FY2019, even 
with  a  significant  increase  in  new  customers  during  the  period.  The  Company’s  top  10  B2B  customers  re-ordered  at  an 
average of 11 times throughout the year. 

Candy Club’s B2C subscription business is being managed for an optimum ROI. This segment’s largest variable expense is 
its cost per acquisition (“CPA”), which dropped to $US23 in 2019 vs. $US 43  the prior year, a direct result of focusing on 
efficiency vs. scale. This trend has continued in Q1 2020 with CPA currently running below $10.  

The B2C segment remains a key part of the Company’s overall strategy in its aim to achieve economies of scale. Candy 
Club  believes  that  this  can  be  accomplished  through  big-data  customer  insights,  consumer-facing  advertising  and  brand 
building efforts which will, directly and indirectly, benefit the Company’s B2C and B2B segments.  

In FY2019 the Company made infrastructure investments in an Enterprise software system (“ERP”) to manage and integrate 
all of its core operating functions and in automated assembly equipment it uses in its manufacturing processes. Both projects 
were  designed  to  improve  the  Company’s  efficiency  and  profitability. With  further  margin  improvement  initiatives  being 
implemented throughout FY2020 and additional scale it expects from its B2B segment.

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2019 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
On 19 February 2019, the company successfully completed its IPO, and was officially admitted onto the Australian Securities 
Exchange.  Under  its  IPO,  the  company  issued  25,120,020  fully  paid  ordinary  raising  $5,024,004  before  costs.   A  further 
1,448,862 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to the lead manager. 

Since completing its IPO, the company has issued a further 23,929,856 fully paid ordinary shares raising $1,914,388, before 
costs.  It has also issued 11,890,492 fully paid ordinary shares on the conversion of debt and to settle creditors valued at 
$892,935. 

During  the  year  company  has  issued  2,738,165  unlisted  options  over  ordinary  shares  under  its  ESOP.    In  addition  the 
company issued 42,253,897 listed options (ASX: CLBO) in relation to its borrowings. 

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial period. 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial period 
On 17 January 2020, the company issued 55,068,023 fully paid ordinary shares with a value of $3,761,791 to settle various 
current liabilities. In addition the company issued 27,774,939 listed options (ASX : CLBO).  The options have an exercise 
price of 10 cents and are exercisable at any time expiring on 31 May 2023.  

On 17 January 2020, the company has 18,700,000 unlisted options as remuneration to key management personnel.  These 
options have a value of $352,093. 

On 29 January 2020, the company announced that the company had received convertible debt totalling US$600,000 from 
directors and major shareholders.  Interest is payable 1% per month and the balance is convertible into shares $0.125 per 
share at the holder's option. 

On 18 March 2020, the company announced that it had entered into a non-binding term sheet with an inventory financing 
lender of up to US $1.5 million. 

On  18  March  2020,  the  company  announced  that  it  has  entered  into  additional  bridging  loans  with  directors  totalling  US 
$650,000.  The loans will carry a 12% annual interest rate and can be converted into shares at conversion price of $0.04 per 
shares.   A listed Candy Club Holding Option (ASX: CLBO) will be included for each converted share. 

During the week beginning 16 March 2020, the US, state and local governments announced a series of measures aimed at 
preventing the spread of COVID-19 (“measures”), which had the subsequent effect of impacting the state of the US economy 
(i.e. impact on supply chain, customers, availability of finance, consumer confidence, etc.). 

In addressing and implementing the necessary changes to ensure Candy Club comply with these measures, the Board has 
agreed to implement, amongst others, the following: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

 Enacting Candy Club’s stated business continuity plan of enabling all Company employees, including head office and 
sales staff, to work remotely, until further notice;  
 To  date,  no  business  interruptions  have  occurred  in  either  the  Company’s  warehousing  and  distribution  center 
operations, located primarily in Indiana, nor in its supply chain of core product or packaging vendors, as we and our 
facility are classified as a food manufacturer and currently considered “essential critical business infrastructure”; given 
the fluidity of the situation this is subject to change in the future;  
 There are segments of the Company’s business that will be negatively impacted by these events, such as sales to retail 
stores and hospitality outlets, and segments that may not be negatively impacted and could actually see an uptick as a 
result of these measures, including e-commerce and grocery customers.  It is still too early to tell how 2020 revenue, 
earnings and cash flow will be impacted by the measures required by COVID-19; and 
 Requested  management  review  and  revise  Candy  Club’s  2020  operating  plans,  including  operating  expense 
management solutions and associated cashflow budget, which is still on-going.   

Management is still in the process of quantifying the other possible impacts associated with implementing these measures. 
Management also recognises that the situation associated with the management of COVID-19 continues to evolve on a daily 
basis and it is difficult to estimate with any degree of certainty the resulting impact (financial and operational) which this may 
have on Candy Club and its future results and financial position.

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2019 

No other matter  or circumstance  has  arisen since 31  December 2019 that  has significantly affected, or  may significantly 
affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future 
financial years. 

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

Business risks 
Below is a summary of the key business risk relating to the consolidated entity. 

Item 

 Summary 

Sufficiency of funding 

Consumer demand 

Customer acquisition costs 

Food safety and hygiene 

Supply of confectionery 

Privacy and Data 

Intellectual Property 

Reliance on Key Personnel  

 The consolidated entity's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to 
continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for 
other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of 
capital.   
 If consumers do not perceive the Candy Club Branded confectionery  to be of sufficient 
quality, value or novelty, the consolidated entity may not be unable to acquire new 
customers or retain existing customers, adversely affecting the consolidated entity’s 
business operations and profitability. 
 Customer demand for subscription plans of the Candy Boxes is currently generated, in part, 
from paid online media sources such as Facebook and Google. Customer acquisition costs, 
in particular from online media sources may rise in the future and in such circumstances the 
Company could find it difficult to acquire customers at a price sufficient to make a profit. 
 Selling food for human consumption carries inherent risks related to food safety. The 
business carried on by the Company may be adversely affected to the extent there are any 
food safety incidents involving the Candy Club Branded Confectionery (such as tampering 
or contamination). 
 While the consolidated entity is not dependent on any one supplier of confectionery, its 
business operations may be affected by the failure of a supplier to meet its contractual 
obligations to the consolidated entity or to supply products that meet the consolidated 
entity’s production standards. Any such failure by a supplier may have adverse implications 
on the consolidated entity’s business. 
 The consolidated entity is reliant on third party suppliers for data processing and payment 
services, and the consolidated entity and such suppliers collect, store and transmit 
significant amounts of customer information. Any security breach or interruption in service 
may adversely affect the Company’s reputation and substantially interrupt the consolidated 
entity’s business operations. 
 The success of Candy Club’s business operations is reliant on its intellectual property, such 
as customer data, trademarks, domain names, copyrights and know-how. If competitors 
utilise or infringe the consolidated entity’s intellectual property, the consolidated may be 
adversely affected. 
 The consolidated entity is heavily reliant on key personnel, including the Company’s 
Executive Director, Mr Keith Cohn. Candy Club’s continued success depends on the 
continuing efforts and retention of its management team and staff, and if it is not able to 
attract highly skilled staff to support its planned growth, its business operations may be 
impacted. 

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

Remuneration report (audited) 
The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the consolidated entity, in 
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. 

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The company observed the following factors in setting remuneration: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 competitiveness and reasonableness 
 acceptability to shareholders 
 performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation 
 transparency 

The board is  responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and  executives. The 
performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy 
is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel. 

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it 
should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by: 
● 
● 

 having economic profit as a core component of plan design 
 focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering 
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value 
 attracting and retaining high calibre executives

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2019 

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by: 
● 
● 
● 

 rewarding capability and experience 
 reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth 
 providing a clear structure for earning rewards 

In  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-executive  director  and  executive  director 
remuneration is separate. 

Non-executive directors remuneration 
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors' 
fees and payments are reviewed annually by the board. The board may, from time to time, receive advice from independent 
remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. 
The chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles 
in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration. 
Non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives. 

ASX  listing  rules  require  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  be  determined  periodically  by  a  general 
meeting. This has yet to be determined and will be set up the company's first annual general meeting. 

Executive remuneration 
The  consolidated  entity  aims  to  reward  executives  based  on  their  position  and  responsibility,  with  a  level  and  mix  of 
remuneration which has both fixed and variable components. 

The executive remuneration and reward framework has two components: 
● 
● 

 base pay and non-monetary benefits 
 share based payments 

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration. 

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation  and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed  annually by  the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of 
the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations. 

Executives  may  receive  their  fixed  remuneration  in  the  form  of  cash  or  other  fringe  benefits  (for  example  motor  vehicle 
benefits)  where  it  does  not  create  any  additional  costs  to  the  consolidated  entity  and  provides  additional  value  to  the 
executive. 

Use of remuneration consultants 
The consolidated entity has not made use of remuneration consultants. 

Voting and comments made at the company's 8 May 2019 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') 
At the 8 May 2019 AGM, 92.92% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 
31 December 2018. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Directors' report 
31 December 2019 

Since  the  end  of  the  financial  period,  the  company  paid  a  premium  in  respect  of  a  contract  to  insure  the  directors  and 
executives of the company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. 

Indemnity and insurance of auditor 
The company has not, during or since the end of the financial period, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the 
company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. 

During the financial period, the company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of the company 
or any related entity. 

Proceedings on behalf of the company 
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf 
of the company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility 
on behalf of the company for all or part of those proceedings. 

Non-audit services 
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial period by the auditor 
are outlined in note 24 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial period, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 24 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
● 

 all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and 
 none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, 
acting as advocate for the company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards. 

● 

Officers of the company who are former partners of HLB Mann Judd (Vic) Partnership 
There are no officers of the company who are former partners of HLB Mann Judd (Vic) Partnership. 

Auditor's independence declaration 
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set  out 
immediately after this directors' report. 

Auditor 
HLB Mann Judd (Vic) Partnership was appointed in accordance with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. As the company was 
only incorporated on 24 October 2018, it has applied both AASB 9 and AASB 15 from its incorporation. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations have been adopted by the consolidated entity: 

AASB 16 Leases 
The  consolidated  entity  has  adopted  AASB  16  from  1  January  2019.  The  standard  replaces  AASB  117  'Leases'  and  for 
lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for short-term leases and leases of low-
value assets, right-of-use  assets and corresponding  lease  liabilities  are recognised in the statement of  financial position. 
Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included 
in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods 
of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under 
AASB  117.  However,  EBITDA  (Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax,  Depreciation  and  Amortisation)  results  improve  as  the 
operating  expense  is  now  replaced  by  interest  expense  and  depreciation  in  profit  or  loss.  For  classification  within  the 
statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and the principal portion of the lease payments 
are separately disclosed in financing  activities. For  lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially  change how  a 
lessor accounts for leases. 

Impact of adoption 
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16: Leases retrospectively from 1 January 2019. In accordance with AASB 16.C7 
the comparatives for the 2018 reporting period have not been restated. 

The consolidated entity has recognised a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases recognised as operating leases 
under AASB 117: Leases where the consolidated entity is the lessee. 

There has been no significant change from prior year treatment for leases where the consolidated entity is a lessor. 

Lease  liabilities  are  shown  at  the  present  value  of  the  remaining  lease  payments.  The  consolidated  entity’s  incremental 
borrowing rate of 7% as at 1 January 2019 has been used to discount the lease payments.   

The right-of-use assets which the consolidated entity entered into as a lessee in respect of its office premises was measured 
at its carrying amount as if AASB 16: Leases had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted  using the 
consolidated entity’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate on 1 January 2019. 

The right-of-use assets for the remaining leases have been measured and recognised in the statement of financial position 
as at 1 January 2019 by taking into consideration the lease liability and the deferred rental (that are related to the lease).   

The following practical expedients have been used by the consolidated entity in applying AASB 16 for the first time: 

● 
● 

● 
● 

● 

 For a portfolio of leases that have reasonably similar characteristics, a single discount rate has been applied. 
 Leases that have remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 have been accounted for in the 
same was as short-term leases. 
 The use of hindsight to determine lease terms on contracts that have options to extend or terminate. 
 Applying AASB 16 to leases previously identified as leases under AASB 117: Leases and Interpretation 4: Determining 
whether an arrangement contains a lease without reassessing whether they are, or contain, a lease at the date of initial 
application. 
 Not applying AASB 16 to leases previously not identified as containing a lease under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4. 

The difference between the undiscounted amount of operating lease commitments at 31 December 2019 of $1,268,252 and 
the discounted operating lease commitments as at 1 January 2019 of $1,093,168 was $175,084 which is due to discounting 
the operating lease commitments at the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate.

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

The right of use asset relates solely to the leased office premises occupied by the consolidated in the United States. 

Going concern 
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business 
activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated entity 
incurred a loss from ordinary activities of $7,844,962 for the period ended 31 December 2019 (2018: $1,298,090), and had 
a net working capital deficiency of $2,139,493 (2018: $1,472,456). In addition, the consolidated entity had negative cash 
from operating activities of $9,275,305 (2018: $1,015,708). 

The  directors  have  reviewed  the  cashflow  forecasts  and  believe  that  there  are  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that  the 
consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern due to the following factors: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

 The  company  successfully  completed  its  business  pivot  in  2019  from  a  B2C  subscription  only  model  to  one  that  is 
heavily focused on its B2B business while running its B2C business for maximum return on investment.   In 2019 the 
B2B business grew during its ‘proof of concept stage’ with an impressive and growing list of customers, big and small;  
 The company’s products are selling extremely well at retail as evidenced by the company’s top customers reordering 
at a 90% rate on a monthly/quarterly basis and is on track to scale revenues significantly in 2020;  
 Improving gross margins, an improved financial position and a lean operating structure have the company poised to 
eliminate cash burn throughout 2020 as it targets profitability later this year;  
 The  consolidated  entity  has  received  term  sheets  from  accounts  receivable  and  purchase  order  lenders  to  provide 
additional working capital to the business based on the value of these assets;  
 Since 31 December 2019, the company has issued 55,068,023 fully paid ordinary shares with a value of $3,761,791 to 
settle various current liabilities;  
 Since 31 December 2019, the company has announced that it has received additional convertible bridging finance of 
US$ 1,250,000 to assist with working capital requirements.  The board is in discussions with other parties relating to 
further funding;  
 Since 31 December 2019, the consolidated entity has entered into a non-binding term sheet with an inventory financing 
lender of up to US $1,500,000; and  
 The  company  has  the  ability  to  raise  additional  capital  under  its  15%  general  placement  capacity  and  is  currently 
negotiating with several parties about securing additional equity investment in the company.  

Accordingly,  the  Directors  believe  that  the  consolidated  entity  will  be  able  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  and  that  it  is 
appropriate  to  adopt  the  going  concern  basis  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report.   The  board  are  still  reviewing  the 
impact that COVID-19 will have on the consolidated entity.  Refer to note 30 for the company' response to date and summary 
of expected impacts. 

In the event that consolidated entity is unsuccessful in implementing the above-stated initiatives, a material uncertainty exists, 
that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to recover 
assets and discharge liabilities in normal course of business and at the amounts shown in the financial report. 

Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge 
its  liabilities  other  than  in  the  normal  course  of  business  and  at  amounts  different  from  those  stated  in  the  financial 
statements.    

Reporting period 
The company was incorporated on 24 October 2018. This comparative information covers the period from that date until 31 
December 2018.  

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate 
for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through  other 
comprehensive  income,  investment  properties,  certain  classes  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  derivative  financial 
instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas 
involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 28. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Candy Club Holdings Limited 
('company' or 'parent entity') as at 31 December 2019 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Candy 
Club Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'. 

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, unless it is an acquisition involving 
entities or businesses under common control.  For common control acquisitions the excess of the purchase price over the 
identifiable fair value of net assets acquired, is recognised in equity as a reserve. 

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. 

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. 

Operating segments 
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis 
as the internal reports provided to the Board of Directors being the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM 
is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 

The  consolidated  entity  operates  the  business  of  selling  candies.  During  the  year  it  commenced  its  B2B  business  and 
currently manages this business line as part of the overall candy selling business, whereby no discrete financial information 
between  the  B2C  and  B2B  lines  is  maintained  other  than  the  revenue  generated.  The  Board  being  the  chief  operating 
decision maker monitors the financial performance and position of the group as a whole and not by the business line. To this 
end, the group has been assessed as one business segment during the year ended 31 December 2019. 

Foreign currency translation 
The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  Candy  Club  Holdings  Limited's  functional  and 
presentation currency.

Candy Club Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation 
at financial period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised 
in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations 
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting 
date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange 
rates,  which  approximate  the  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions,  for  the  period.  The  exchange  difference  from  the 
translation  of  any  net  investment  in  foreign  entities  and  of  borrowings  and  other  financial  instruments  so  designated  as 
hedges of such investments, is recognised in other comprehensive income. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. 

Revenue recognition 
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled 
in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: 

● 
● 
● 

● 

● 

  identifies the contract with a customer; 
  identifies the performance obligations in the contract; 
 determines the transaction price which takes  into account estimates  of variable  consideration and  the time value of 
money;  
 allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling 
price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and 
 recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the 
customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, 
rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates 
are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration 
is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that  a 
significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues 
until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject 
to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability. 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is 
generally at the time of delivery.  No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with credit term of 30 
days. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, 
which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the 
net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

Income tax 
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 the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary 
differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the 
assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: 
 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
● 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor 
taxable profits; or 
 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the 
timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable 
future. 

● 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax 
assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the 
carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable 
that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against 
current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on 
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 
12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used 
to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; 
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are 
initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any 
allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.  The consolidated 
entity holds accounts receivable with the objective of collecting the contracted cashflows. 

The  consolidated  entity  has  applied  the  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses,  which  uses  a  lifetime 
expected  loss  allowance.  To  measure  the  expected  credit  losses,  trade  receivables  have  been  grouped  based  on  days 
overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Inventories 
Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of 
rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion 
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Property, plant and equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated  on  a straight-line basis to  write off the  net cost  of each item of property,  plant  and equipment 
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Plant and equipment 
Computer equipment 

 4-5 years 
 2 years 

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. 

Right-of-use assets 
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which 
comprises the  initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as  applicable,  any lease payments made  at or  before the 
commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the 
cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to  be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and 
restoring the site or asset. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful 
life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at 
the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or 
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The  consolidated  entity  has  elected  not  to  recognise  a  right-of-use  asset  and  corresponding  lease  liability  for  short-term 
leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to 
profit or loss as incurred. 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at 
the  date  of  the  acquisition.  Intangible  assets  acquired  separately  are  initially  recognised  at  cost.  Indefinite  life  intangible 
assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising 
from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in 
the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or 
period. 

Website 
Significant costs associated with the development of the revenue generating aspects of the website, including the capacity 
of placing orders, are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their 
finite life. 

Software 
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected 
benefit, being their finite life. 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial 
period and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. 
The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Contract liabilities 
Contract  liabilities  represent  the  consolidated  entity's  obligation  to  transfer  goods  or  services  to  a  customer  and  are 
recognised  when  a  customer  pays  consideration,  or  when  the  consolidated  entity  recognises  a  receivable  to  reflect  its 
unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the consolidated entity has transferred the goods or services 
to the customer. 

Borrowings 
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They  
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are derecognised when the 
obligation  specified  in  the  contract  is  discharged,  cancelled  or  expired.    The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount 
extinguished and the consideration paid, including any non cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed is recognised in 
profit and loss as other finance costs.  

Lease liabilities 
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present 
value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, 
if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of 
fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is 
reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on 
an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured 
if  there  is  a  change  in  the  following:  future  lease  payments  arising  from  a  change  in  an  index  or  a  rate  used;  residual 
guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an 
adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset 
is fully written down. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past  
event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of 
the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to 
settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. 
If  the  time  value  of  money  is  material,  provisions  are  discounted  using  a  current  pre-tax  rate  specific  to  the  liability.  The 
increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Employee benefits 

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees and  directors in 
exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where 
the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using 
either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, 
the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend 
yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do  not  determine 
whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of 
any other vesting conditions.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting 
period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate 
of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit 
or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous 
periods. 

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was 
granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: 
● 

 during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the 
expired portion of the vesting period. 
 from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the  liability at the 
reporting date. 

● 

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to 
settle the liability. 

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

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

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  the  owners  of  Candy  Club  Holdings  Limited, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial period. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the 
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted 
average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of 
the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

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

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

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  31  December  2019.  The 
consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and 
assumptions  on historical  experience  and on  other various factors, including expectations of future  events, management 
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal 
the  related  actual  results.  The  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are 
discussed below. 

Share-based payment transactions 
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and directors by reference to the 
fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the 
Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 
The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Provision for impairment of inventories 
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree  of estimation and judgement. The level of the 
provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that 
affect inventory obsolescence. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it is probable 
that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.  Deferred tax assets have not 
been recognised in relation to tax losses as their realisation has not been deemed probable. 

Common controlled acquisition 
On  12  November  2018,  the  company  acquired  100%  of  the  Candy  Club  Holdings  Group. The  consideration  for  this 
acquisitions was 75,303,017 fully paid shares valued at $11,031,892.  

In determining the accounting treatment to be applied to these acquisitions, the directors gave consideration to the fact that 
the  company  and  the  CCH  Group  were  controlled  by  the  same  group  of  shareholders  before  and  after  the 
acquisition. Accordingly,  it  was  determined  that  the  acquisition  met  the  definition  of  a  transaction  between  entities  under 
common  control  as  outlined  in  AASB  3,  whereby  the  variance  between  the  purchase  consideration  and  the  net  assets 
acquired  is  recognised  in  reserves  on  consolidation.   A  reserve  of  $17,197,977  has  been  recognised  in  relation  to  this 
acquisition. 

Note 3. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The  consolidated  entity  is  organised  into  one  operating  segment,  being  the  candy  distribution  in  the  United  States  of 
America. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who 
are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation 
of resources.  

The  consolidated  entity  operates  the  business  of  selling  candies.  During  the  year  it  commenced  its  B2B  business  and 
currently manages this business line as part of the overall candy selling business, whereby no discrete financial information 
between  the  B2C  and  B2B  lines  is  maintained  other  than  the  revenue  generated.  The  Board  being  the  chief  operating 
decision maker monitors the financial performance and position of the group as a whole and not by the business line. To this 
end, the group has been assessed as one business segment during the year ended 31 December 2019.  Refer to note 4 for 
split of total revenue per business line.

Note 20. Equity - reserves (continued) 

Share-based payments reserve 
The  reserve  is  used  to  recognise  the  value  of  equity  benefits  provided  to  employees  and  directors  as  part  of  their 
remuneration, and other parties as part of their compensation for services. 

Commonly controlled reserve 
This reserve is used to account for commonly controlled acquisitions, and the reserve represents the excess of the purchase 
price over the identifiable fair value of net assets acquired from US subsidiaries.   

On  12  November  2018,  the  company  acquired  100%  of  the  Candy  Club  Holdings  Group. The  consideration  for  this 
acquisitions was 75,303,017 fully paid shares valued at $11,031,892.  

In determining the accounting treatment to be applied to these acquisitions, the directors gave consideration to the fact that 
the  company  and  the  CCH  Group  were  controlled  by  the  same  group  of  shareholders  before  and  after  the 
acquisition. Accordingly,  it  was  determined  that  the  acquisition  met  the  definition  of  a  transaction  between  entities  under 
common  control  as  outlined  in  AASB  3,  whereby  the  variance  between  the  purchase  consideration  and  the  net  assets 
acquired is recognised in reserves on consolidation.

Note 22. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, and 
interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the 
unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the 
consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. 
These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange, ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors 
('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits.  Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to the operation of its subsidiaries in the United States 
of America.  It does not hedge any of these risks as the US denominated debts  are expected to  be  paid using US dollar 
denominated receipts. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial  transactions and recognised financial assets and  financial  liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting. 

The carrying amount of the consolidated entity's foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at the reporting date 
were as follows:

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.  

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by 
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

Refer to going concern disclosures in Note 1.   

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The 
tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which 
the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining

On 12 November 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to effect the acquisition of 100% of Candy 
Club Holdings Inc. for a consideration of $11.032 million. By this transaction, the Company obtained control of Candy Club 
Holdings Inc. In determining the accounting treatment to be applied, the Directors gave consideration to the fact that the 
Company and Candy Club Holdings Inc. were controlled by the same group of shareholders before and after the acquisition. 
Accordingly, it was determined that the acquisition met the definition of a transaction between entities under common control 
as  outlined  in  AASB  3,  whereby  the  variance  between  the  purchase  consideration  paid  and  the  net  assets  acquired  is 
recognised in equity on consolidation. The impact of this transaction is set out in the tables below:

On 29 January 2020, the company announced that the company had received convertible debt totalling US$600,000 from 
directors and major shareholders.  Interest is payable 1% per month and the balance is convertible into shares $0.125 per 
share at the holder's option. 

On 18 March 2020, the company announced that it had entered into a non-binding term sheet with an inventory financing 
lender of up to US $1.5 million. 

On  18  March  2020,  the  company  announced  that  it  has  entered  into  additional  bridging  loans  with  directors  totalling  US 
$650,000.  The loans will carry a 12% annual interest rate and can be converted into shares at conversion price of $0.04 per 
shares.   A listed Candy Club Holding Option (ASX: CLBO) will be included for each converted share. 

During the week beginning 16 March 2020, the US, state and local governments announced a series of measures aimed at 
preventing the spread of COVID-19 (“measures”), which had the subsequent effect of impacting the state of the US economy 
(i.e. impact on supply chain, customers, availability of finance, consumer confidence, etc.). 

In addressing and implementing the necessary changes to ensure Candy Club comply with these measures, the Board has 
agreed to implement, amongst others, the following: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

 Enacting Candy Club’s stated business continuity plan of enabling all Company employees, including head office and 
sales staff, to work remotely, until further notice;  
 To  date,  no  business  interruptions  have  occurred  in  either  the  Company’s  warehousing  and  distribution  centre 
operations, located primarily in Indiana, nor in its supply chain of core product or packaging vendors, as we and our 
facility are classified as a food manufacturer and currently considered “essential critical business infrastructure”; given 
the fluidity of the situation this is subject to change in the future;  
 There are segments of the Company’s business that will be negatively impacted by these events, such as sales to retail 
stores and hospitality outlets, and segments that may not be negatively impacted and could actually see an uptick as a 
result of these measures, including e-commerce and grocery customers.  It is still too early to tell how 2020 revenue, 
earnings and cash flow will be impacted by the measures required by COVID-19; and 
 Requested  management  review  and  revise  Candy  Club’s  2020  operating  plans,  including  operating  expense 
management solutions and associated cashflow budget, which is still on-going.   

Management is still in the process of quantifying the other possible impacts associated with implementing these measures. 
Management also recognises that the situation associated with the management of COVID-19 continues to evolve on a daily 
basis and it is difficult to estimate with any degree of certainty the resulting impact (financial and operational) which this may 
have on Candy Club and its future results and financial position. 

No other matter  or circumstance  has  arisen since 31  December 2019 that  has significantly affected, or  may significantly 
affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future 
financial years.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Candy Club Holdings Limited 

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT 

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Candy  Club  Holdings  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its 
controlled  entities  (“the  Group”),  which  comprises  the  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  31 
December 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of 
changes  in  equity  and  the  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the 
financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies,  and  the  directors’ 
declaration.  

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  the  Group  is  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations Act 2001, including:  

(a)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its 

financial performance for the year then ended; and  

(b)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion  

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Our  responsibilities 
under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditor’s  Responsibilities  for  the  Audit  of  the 
Financial  Report  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the 
auditor  independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of 
the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for 
Professional  Accountants  (“the  Code”)  that  are  relevant  to  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  in 
Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We  confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has 
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as 
at the time of this auditor’s report.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.  

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern  

We draw attention to the Going Concern note as contained in Note 1 of the financial report, which 
indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $7,844,962 (2018: loss of $1,298,090) during the year 
ended 31 December 2019 and, as of that date, the current liabilities exceeded its current assets by 
$2,139,493  (2018:  $1,472,456).  In  addition,  the  Group’s  net  liabilities  position  as  at  31  December 
2019 was $1,673,636 (2018: 1,324,423). As stated in the Going Concern note as contained in Note 
1  of  the  financial  report,  these  events  or  conditions,  along  with  other  matters  as  set  forth  in  the 
Going  Concern  note  as  contained  in  Note  1  of  the  financial  report,  indicate  that  a  material 
uncertainty  exists  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going 
concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Emphasis of Matter - Effects of COVID-19  

We  draw  attention  to  Note  30  Events  after  the  reporting  period  to  the  financial  statements,  which 
describes  the  uncertainties  and  possible  effects  on  the  Group  arising  from  its management  of  the 
on-going issues related to COVID. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report of the current period. 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.  In  addition  to  the  matter  described  in  the  Material 
Uncertainty Related to Going Concern, we have determined the matters described below to be the 
key audit matters to be communicated in our report.  

Key Audit Matter 

Inventory 
Refer to note 9 - Inventories 

The  Group’s  inventory  balance  of  $3,422,375  is 
significant  to  the  financial  statements  and  has 
increased  by  $972,877  from  the  prior  year,  after 
allowing  for  an  increase  in  provision  of  $886,802). 
The  Group’s 
includes 
packaged candy canisters and raw materials.  

inventory  predominately 

Inventory  is  required  to  be  recorded  at  the  lower  of 
cost and net realisable value applying the weighted 
average cost method.  

involves  significant 
inventory 
The  valuation  of 
judgement  by  management  as  value  depends  on 
the  age  and  type  of  packaged  candy  canisters  and 
raw materials. 

How  our  audit  addressed  the  key  audit 
matter 

Our audit procedures included: 
  A physical verification of inventory at the 

material location within the Group; 

  Performance  of  cut-off  testing  for  both 
inwards  and  outwards  goods  around  the 
year end date; 

  A  review  of  subsequent  product  sales  to 
ensure inventory was valued at the lower 
of  cost  and  net  realisable  value,  the 
aging and condition of the inventory.   
  We  evaluated  management’s  judgement 
the 
and  assumptions 
valuation  of  the  inventory  at  balance 
date; and 

in  determining 

  We assessed management’s judgements  
in  relation  to  the  need  for  provisioning 
against  the  value  of  inventory  as  well  as 
the related calculations. 

We  also  considered 
the  adequacy  of 
disclosures  in  relation  to  inventory  in  the 
notes to the financial statements.  

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019, but does 
not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report 
does  not  cover  the  other  information  and  accordingly  we  do  not  express  any  form  of  assurance 
conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read 
the  other  information  and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially 
inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to 
be  materially  misstated.  If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a 
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing 
to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

 

Identify  and  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  report,  whether  due  to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence  that  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  opinion.  The  risk  of  not 
detecting  a  material  misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting  from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control.  

  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  audit  in  order  to  design  audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting 
and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to 
events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to  continue  as  a 
going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw 
attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial  report  or,  if  such 
disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are  based  on  the  audit 
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions 
may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  financial  report,  including  the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 
business  activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are 
responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  Group  audit.  We  remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that 
we identify during our audit.  

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 
safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter  or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report  because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT  

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 7 to 12 of the directors’ report for the

December 2019 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The  directors  of  the  Company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.    Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
