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 Chi Kan Tang James Baillieu Andrew Clark Presentation currency As announced on 8 July 2020, during the current year the board have opted to change the presentation currency to US dollars, because it is the consolidated entity's functional currency and better reflects its financial performance and position. It is also the currency used by the board to measure and assess the consolidated entity's performance. Refer to note 1 of the financial statements for an explanation of impact of this change. Principal activities During the financial period the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of: ● ● Sourcing, sales, marketing and distribution of candies in North America; and Servicing business customers in various traditional & non traditional candy retailers in a B2B segment & consumer customers through a B2C segment. 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 $US4,535,042 (31 December 2019: $US5,453,516). In 2020, Candy Club saw the pivot it made to focus on the B2B segment pay off significantly as revenue from this business line grew 507% from $US1,095,687 in 2019 to $US6,645,435 in 2020. Total net revenue for 2020 was $US8,673,772. Candy Club’s B2B segment saw an increase in the total number of retail doors shipped in FY2020 by 10,000 from 4,000 doors to 14,000. While 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, its B2B eCommerce customers were responsible for a significant amount of its growth in 2020. It should be noted that the dramatic growth the Company experienced in 2020 occurred despite the significant headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic which dramatically curtailed brick and mortar retail activity in the US. Candy Club has seen its growth continue in Q1 2021 as brick and mortar retailers begin to resume more normalized operations and as its B2B eCommerce segment continues to scale. Candy Club’s outstanding performance in 2020 was driven by a combination of strong new customer acquisition and a 90%+ reorder rate every quarter by its top customers. 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 $US17 in 2020 from $US23 in 2019, a direct result of focusing on efficiency vs. scale. 2 Candy Club Holdings Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020 The B2C segment remains a key part of the Company’s overall strategy & supports the B2B business by helping with product and manufacturing efficiencies. Candy Club believes that this can be accomplished through ongoing customer acquisition in conjunction with repeat business from existing customers, new product development, consumer facing advertising, expanded partnerships with existing & new business partners, leveraging big-data customer insights to continually improve the company’s products & programs. In Q1 2020 the Company signed a deal with its 3rd party logistics partner that will greatly expand its production capacity to meet its aggressive growth targets through 2022. This expanded capacity comes with greater automation and efficiency, and as such the Candy Club was able to negotiate better rates on its key assembly processes that will result in higher gross margins once the project is complete in Q3 2022. Significant changes in the state of affairs Refer to note 21 for details of shares issued during the financial year. There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial period.

On 19 February 2021, the consolidated entity signed an agreement with its fulfillment and warehouse center to expand their production facilities to not only allow them to meet their sales forecasts through 2022, but to better efficiently allow for improved gross margins, reducing cash burn throughout 2021 and 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented economic uncertainty. Actual economic events and conditions in the future may be materially different from those estimated by the consolidated entity by the reporting date. As responses by government continue to evolve; management recognises that it is difficult to reliably estimate with any degree of certainty the potential impact of the pandemic after the reporting date on the consolidated entity, its operations, its future results and financial position. Subsequent to year end, the state of emergency in Victoria was extended until 9 April 2021. Refer to note 3 to the financial statements for further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Group's operations. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2020 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. 3 Candy Club Holdings Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’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. 4 Candy Club Holdings Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020 Information on directors Name: Title: Experience and expertise: Keith Cohn Executive Director Keith founded the Candy Club Business in 2014 and currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Key management personnel are those persons having the 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 Details of remuneration Service agreements Share-based compensation Additional information Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel 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 performance 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 ● 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. 7 Candy Club Holdings Limited Directors' report 31 December 2020 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. The annual level of non-executive remuneration was set a maximum of $AU250,000 at the company's 2019 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 three components: ● ● ● base pay and non-monetary benefits short term performance incentives 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. The short-term incentives ('STI') program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets and key performance indicators ('KPI's') being achieved. KPI's include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management. The long-term incentives ('LTI') include long service leave and share-based payments. The Board reviewed the long-term equity-linked performance incentives. Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on targets being met.

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. 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: Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) The consolidated entity has adopted the revised Conceptual Framework from 1 January 2020. The Conceptual Framework contains new definition and recognition criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards, but it has not had a material impact on the consolidated entity's financial statements. 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 $US4,535,042 for the period ended 31 December 2020 (2019: $US5,453,516) and had negative cash from operating activities of $US5,405,890 (2019: $US6,447,838). 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 consolidated entity’s products continue to sell extremely well at retail as evidenced by the consolidated entity’s top customers reordering at a 90% rate on a quarterly basis and is on track to scale revenues significantly in 2021; On 19 February 2021, the consolidated entity signed an agreement with its fulfillment and warehouse center to expand their production facilities to not only allow them to meet their sales forecasts through 2022, but better efficiency allows for improved gross margins eliminating cash burn throughout 2021 and 2022; In the first quarter of 2021, the consolidated entity began conversations with a variety of debt lenders to determine the viability of improving on its current debt facility. The company received multiple term sheets and is confident that it could raise incremental debt on more favorable terms than it currently has if the Board chooses to go in this direction; On 9 February 2021, the company issued 12,500,001 valued at $AU.0.12 ($US0.0927) fully paid ordinary shares to directors or their related entities raising $AU $1,500,000 ($US1,159,050); On 9 February 2021, the company also issued 7,102,088 fully paid ordinary shares values $AU0.125 (US$.0966) to directors or their related entities. These shares were issued to settle borrowings and accrued interest valued $AU 887,761 ($US 685,972); 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. The company also has the ability to increase its current debt facility. 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. 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. Change in presentation currency As announced on 8 July 2020, during the current year the board have opted to change the presentation currency to US dollars, because it is the consolidated entity's functional currency and better reflects its financial performance and position. It is also the currency used by the board to measure and assess the consolidated entity's performance. 21 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) A change in presentation currency represents a change in an accounting policy in terms of AASB 108 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, requiring the restatement of comparative information. In accordance with AASB 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, the following methodology was followed in restating historical financial information from Australian dollars into US dollars. ● ● ● Non-US dollar assets and liabilities were translated at the relevant closing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period; Non-US dollar items of income and expenditure and cash flows were translated at the average exchange rates for the relevant period; and The effects of translating the consolidated entity’s financial results and financial position into US dollar were recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. The exchange rates used when performing the restatement from Australian dollars, that are relevant to this report and the remuneration report are summarised below: 31 December 2018 31 December 2019 Closing Average 0.7058 0.7006 0.7201 0.6951 The effect of the change on statement of financial performance for financial year ended 31 December 2019 is summarised below: Revenue and income Less expenses Loss after income tax Basic earnings per share Diluted earnings per share Exchange $AUD rates $US 6,922,584 (14,767,546) 0.6951 0.6951 4,812,316 (10,265,832) (7,844,962) (5,453,516) (5.39) (5.39) 0.6951 0.6951 (3.75) (3.75) The effect of the change on statement of financial position at 31 December 2019 is summarised below: Current assets Non-current assets Current liabilities Non-current liabilities Exchange $AUD rate $US 4,657,732 748,608 (6,797,225) (282,751) (1,673,636) 0.7006 0.7006 0.7006 0.7006 3,263,206 524,475 (4,762,135) (198,095) (1,172,549) 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'). 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. 22 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 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 30. 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 2020 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. The consolidated entity currently manages the B2B 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 2020. Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in US dollars, which is Candy Club Holdings Limited's presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into US 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. 23 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Translation to presentation currency The assets and liabilities of entities where the functional currency is not US dollars are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses are translated into US 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 is recognised in other comprehensive income. 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 product is shipped to the customer. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are generally made with terms ranging from customer pre-payment to credit terms of 30 to 60 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. Government grants Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. 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. 24 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 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. 25 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 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. Impairment of non-financial assets Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 26 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 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. 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. The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs. On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss. 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. 27 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 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. 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. Fair value measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. 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. 28 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 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 2020. 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. Lease term The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. 29 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) Incremental borrowing rate Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment. Note 3. Impact of COVID 19 pandemic During the current financial year the COVID 19 pandemic had a significant impact on the global economy. In response to the pandemic, 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). ● ● ● ● ● Enacting Candy Club’s stated business continuity plan of enabling all consolidated entity employees, including head office and sales staff, to work remotely, until further notice; To date, no business interruptions have occurred in either the consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’s business that have been negatively impacted by these events, such as sales to retail stores and hospitality outlets, and segments that have been positively impacted as a result of these measures, including e-commerce and grocery customers. While the consolidated entity’s revenue has increased since the beginning of the pandemic, the situation in the US remains fluid and it is still too early to tell how revenue, earnings and cash flow for FY2020 will be impacted by the measures required by COVID-19; and The consolidated entity’s board of directors and management continually review and revise Candy Club’s 2020 operating plans, including operating expense management solutions and associated cashflow budget, to adapt to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. During the year consolidated entity received a PPP loan of $US288,622 from the US federal government as part of its COVID response. This loan was forgiven in full during the current financial year. Management continues to monitor other possible impacts associated with COVID 19. 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. Note 4. Difference to preliminary results On 26 February 2021, the company announced its preliminary results. Since that time there have been adjustments made to the presentation within the equity section of the statement of financial position. This has resulted in a $US376,073 increase in issued capital and a corresponding decrease of the overall reserves balance. There has been no change to the loss before income tax or net assets reported in the preliminary results. However, the operating cash outflows were understated by $US710,208 while cash inflows from financing activities were understated by $US680,557 with the difference attributable to FX translation. 30 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 5. 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. CODM manages the B2B 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 2020. Refer to note 6 for split of total revenue per business line. Note 6.

The bridging finance includes a balance of $US1,250,000 with interest being accrued at 1% per month. These loans may be converted into fully paid ordinary shares at the discretion of the lender, with part of the balance having been converted since 31 December 2020. Refer to note 32. CircleUp provided a revolving line of credit to Candy Club based on the company’s Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) cash flows. An initial Maximum Facility Amount of $US1,000,000 was approved, and CircleUp will seek to re-evaluate the maximum credit limit on demand as Candy Club grows. Initial availability was $US700,000 based on DTC sales. Interest accrued daily as simple interest (non-compounding) on the principal balance outstanding at a rate of Prime + 5%. The loan was secured against the assets of the consolidated entity's US subsidiaries. At 31 December 2019 these assets had a carrying value of $US 5,000,247. There were no defaults on this loan during the prior year. This loan was repaid in full during the current year. Note 17.

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. 40 Candy Club Holdings Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2020 Note 24. Financial instruments (continued) 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 financial assets and liabilities at the reporting date were as follows: Consolidated Australian dollars Assets Restated 2020 $US 2019 $US Liabilities Restated 2020 $US 2019 $US 105,275 269,403 1,535,483 2,402,156 Consolidated - 2020 % change profit before tax Effect on equity % change profit before tax Effect on equity USD strengthened Effect on USD weakened Effect on Australian dollars 10% - (143,021) 10% - 143,021 Consolidated - Restated 2019 % change profit before tax Effect on equity % change profit before tax Effect on equity USD strengthened Effect on USD weakened Effect on Australian dollars 10% - (213,275) 10% - 213,275 Price risk The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. Interest rate risk The consolidated entity is not exposed to significant interest rate risk. Its only borrowings were short term bridging finance with a fixed interest rate and the Crossroads facility with a fixed interest rate of 19% per annum. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity is exposed to credit risk in relation to it business to business customers, whic h represented 76.62% (2019: 23.29%) of revenue from customers. The remainder of the revenue was business to customer sales where payment is received before delivery is made. The total trade receivable balance at 31 December 2020 was $US435,397 (2019: $US152,901). An impairment of $US111,000 was recognised in the current year (2019: nil). Average credit terms are 30 days.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to section 295(5)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001. On behalf of the directors ___________________________ Keith Cohn Executive Director 31 March 2021 51 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 consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 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 2020 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 Regarding 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 $4,535,042 (2019: $5,453,516) during the year ended 31 December 2020 and incurred net cash outflows in operations of $5,405,890 (2019: $6,447,838). 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. 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 section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Share-based payments Refer to note 21 (equity – issued capital), 22 (equity – reserves) and 37 (Share-based payments). The Group pays its employees, directors and contractors issue of ordinary the through shares and options over shares. During the year, there were several share- based payments made to settle liabilities owing to employees, directors and contractors. The valuation and accounting for share-based payments to is complex and management’s estimates and judgement. is subject to the relevant agreements, Our audit procedures included:  Verifying the key terms and conditions of equity settled share-based payments in respect of ordinary shares and options over shares for services rendered by employees, directors and contractors.  Assessing and fair value testing calculation of share-based payments by checking the accuracy of the inputs to source documents and performing a cross check against our own findings. the  Testing the accuracy of the share-based payments amortisation over the vesting periods (where applicable) and the recording of expenses in the statement of profit or loss and movement in the share-based payment reserve.  Checking for compliance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based Payment. the adopted disclosures 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 2020 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, 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. 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 year ended 31 December 2020. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Candy Club Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2020 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.
