The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to: set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees; link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and • • • establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration. Remuneration committee While the Company does not currently have a formal Remuneration Committee, the Board has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter, which determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required.

Non-executive Director remuneration The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders. The ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors shall be as determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was prior to the companies commencement of quotation on the ASX on July 2011 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $500,000 per annum. - 12 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formerly VPCL Limited) DIRECTORS’ REPORT The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external shareholders as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Fixed remuneration Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (salary or consulting fees) including any FBT charges as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds, where applicable. There was no use of remuneration consultants during the year. Remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. Performance linked remuneration Long-term incentives can be provided as ordinary shares, options over ordinary shares or performance rights convertible into ordinary shares of the Company. As determined, shareholders in a general meeting will be asked to approve specific grants of shares, options and performance rights to Non- Executive and Executive Directors as a form of remuneration. Assessing performance The Board of Directors is responsible for assessing performance against KPIs and determining the STI and LTI to be paid. Consequences of performance on shareholders wealth In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board of Directors considers revenue, profit before tax, changes in share price and return of capital. The overall level of key management personnel’s remuneration takes into account the expected performance of the Group over a number of years. - 13 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formerly VPCL Limited) Details of the nature and amounts of emoluments of key management personnel DIRECTORS’ REPORT 2021 Financial Year Key Management Person Non-Executive Directors: Christopher Mews Hon Michael Rann (i) Executive Directors: David Wheeler 62,000 16,337 120,000 - - - Leanne Graham (ii) 31,500 45,000 229,837 45,000 SHORT TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Salary & Fees $ Consulting Fees $ Non Monetary $ POST EMPLOYMENT Superannuation Contribution $ EQUITY BASED RENUMERATION REMUNERATION Total $ - - - - - Total $ 62,000 16,337 120,000 76,500 274,837 - - - - - - - - - - (i) (ii) Represents remuneration from 19 March 2021 to 30 June 2021 Resigned 19 March 2021 2020 Financial Year Key Management Person Non-Executive Directors: David Wheeler (i) Christopher Mews Justin Klintberg (ii) Executive Directors: Leanne Graham SHORT TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Salary & Fees $ Consulting Fees $ Non Monetary $ POST EMPLOYMENT Superannuation Contribution $ 10,500 42,000 - - 31,500 60,000 42,000 65,000 126,000 125,000 - - - - - - - - - - EQUITY BASED RENUMERATION REMUNERATION Total $ - - - - - Total $ 10,500 42,000 91,500 107,000 251,000 (i) (ii) Represents remuneration from 3 April 2020 to 30 June 2020 Represents remuneration from 1 July 2019 to 3 April 2020 - 14 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formerly VPCL Limited) DIRECTORS’ REPORT Performance Based Remuneration The proportion of remuneration linked to performance and the fixed proportion are as follows: Name David Wheeler Christopher Mews Hon Michael Rann David Attwood Leanne Graham Justin Klintberg Fixed remuneration 2020 2021 At risk - STI 2020 2021 At risk - LTI 2020 2021 100% 100% 100% - 100% - 100% 100% - - 100% 100% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Shares Issued to Key Management Personnel on Exercise of Options No key management personnel exercised options during the years ended 30 June 2021 or 30 June 2020.

22 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Statement of significant accounting policies The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. For the purposes of preparing the financial report the Group is a for-profit entity. The financial report covers the consolidated entity of Health House International Limited (“the legal Parent”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group” or “Consolidated Entity”). Health House International Limited (Health House International Limited) is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The entity’s principal activities are detailed in the Directors Report. Reporting basis and conventions The financial report is a general-purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied where relevant. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is Health House International Limited’s functional and presentation currency. The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 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. - 23 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (b) Adoption of new and revised standards Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2021 In the year ended 30 June 2021, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group and effective for the current annual reporting period. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies. Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet effective The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet effective for the year ending 30 June 2021. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet effective on the Group and therefore no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies. (c) 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 normal course of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a loss of $5,307,296 (2020: $2,524,775) and had operating cash outflows of $2,391,078 for the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $1,938,237). As at 30 June 2021, the Group's held cash and cash equivalents of $5,224,961 (2020: $494,924). The ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on Health House continuing to secure distribution agreements within Australia, the UK and Germany, successfully commercializing CanPharma branded extracts and flower product, securing supply contracts with the National Health Service in the United Kingdom and the Malta government or securing additional funding through capital raising activities to continue its operational and marketing activities. Should these be unsuccessful, there is a material uncertainty relating to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business. The directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will be able to generate sufficient revenue or secure funds to meet its commitments. There are a number of inherent uncertainties relating to the Group’s future plans including but not limited to: • whether the Group is able to generate sufficient revenue within Australia; • whether the Group is able to generate sufficient revenue within the United Kingdom; • whether the Group is able to generate sufficient revenue from CanPharma operations; • whether the Company will be able to raise equity in this current market; and • whether the Group would be able to secure any other sources of funding. - 24 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (d) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: • has power over the investee; • • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in with the investee; and The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements listed above. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has the power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights are sufficient to give it power, including, • the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and • any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including • voting patterns at previous shareholder meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the controlling interest having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members are eliminated in full on consolidation. Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in existing subsidiaries Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount paid by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company. - 25 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between: • The aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest; and • The previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit and loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by the applicable AASBs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 9, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture. (e) Foreign Exchange Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date. The Directors have determined that the functional currency of the Group is Australian Dollars. 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. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. (f) Revenue Recognition The Group enters into contracts for the sale and distribution of medicinal cannabis products and other medical supplies. Revenue is recognised when the price is determinable, the product has been delivered in accordance with the terms of the contract, the significant risks and rewards or ownership have been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. The performance obligation is identified to be the delivery of supplies to the customer, and the transaction price is allocated to the number of units delivered. These criteria for performance obligation are assessed to have occurred once the product has been delivered to the customer. - 26 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (g) Other income and expenses Interest income Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets’ net carrying amount on initial recognition. Government grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. Other income Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. (h) Income Tax The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit/loss for the year adjusted for any non- assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions or deductibility imposed by the law. - 27 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (i) Other Taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. • The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (j) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Health House International Ltd. (k) Earnings per share Basic earnings (loss) per share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated as net profit or loss, attributable to members, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share Diluted EPS earnings is calculated by adjusting the basic EPS earnings for the after tax effect of financing costs and the effect of conversion to ordinary shares associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, rather than including the notional earnings on the funds that would have been received by the entity had the potential ordinary shares been converted. The diluted EPS weighted average number of shares includes the number of ordinary shares assumed to be issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares, rather that the total number of dilutive potential ordinary shares. The number of ordinary shares assumed to be issued for no consideration represents the difference between the number that would have been issued at the exercise price and the number that would have been issued at the average price. The identification of dilutive potential ordinary shares is based on net profit or loss from continuing ordinary operations, not net profit or loss and is applied on a cumulative basis, taking into account the incremental earnings and incremental number of shares for each series of potential ordinary share. - 28 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (l) 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. (m) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (n) Trade and other receivables 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 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. (o) Financial assets Recognition and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. - 29 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) Classification and initial measurement of financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories: • • • • amortised cost fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. The classification is determined by both: • • the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses. Subsequent measurement of financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments fall into this category, except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments, for which the hedge accounting requirements apply. The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make the irrevocable election to account for the investment in unlisted and listed equity securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which does not allow for measurement at cost. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists. - 30 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (p) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of tangible assets and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (q) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted for as follows: Finished goods – cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (r) Property, Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost or fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment. 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 machinery 5 – 20 years Computer equipment Office equipment 5 years 3 years Right of use asset Length of lease The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. 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. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits. - 31 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (s) 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. (t) 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. Amortisation methods and useful lives The Group amortises intangible assets with a limited useful life, using the straight-line method over the following periods: Website costs 10 years Customer contracts 2-3 years Customer contracts were acquired as part of a business combination (see Note 15 for details). They are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition and are subsequently amortised on a straight-line based on the timing of projected cash flows of the contracts over their estimated useful lives. (u) Goodwill Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. - 32 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (v) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months. Employee leave benefits Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave Liabilities accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave and sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the balance date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non- accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. (w) Contract liabilities A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. (x) 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. - 33 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (y) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense. (z) 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. 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. (aa) 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 26. - 34 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (bb) Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non- controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. (cc) Reverse Acquisition A reverse acquisition occurs when the acquirer is the entity whose equity interests have been acquired and the issuing entity is the acquiree. This might be the case when a private entity arranges to have itself 'acquired' by a smaller public entity as a means of obtaining a stock exchange listing. Although legally the issuing entity is regarded as the parent and the private entity is regarded as the subsidiary, the legal subsidiary is the accounting acquirer if it has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the legal parent so as to obtain benefits from its activities. - 35 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) In a reverse acquisition, the cost of the business combinations is deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary in the form of equity instruments issued to the owners of the legal parent. The published price of the equity instruments of the acquirer is used to determine the cost of the combination, or where this is not available, the deemed fair value of its shares, and a calculation shall be made to determine the cost of the combination, or where this is not available, the deemed fair value of its shares, and a calculation shall be made to determine the number of equity instruments that acquirer would have to issue to provide the same percentage ownership interest of the combined entity to the owners/shareholders of the acquirer as they have in the combined entity as a result of the reverse acquisition. The fair value of the number of equity instruments so calculated shall be used as the cost of the combination. On 19 March 2021, VPCL Limited (now Health House International Limited, the legal parent entity) acquired 100% of the issued shares of Health House Holdings Limited (an unlisted entity). VPCL Limited changed its name to Health House International Limited on 29 January 2021. Under the principles of AASB3 Business Combinations, Health House Holdings Limited (the unlisted entity) is the accounting acquirer in the deemed business combination and therefore, the transaction has been accounted for as a Share-based Payment (asset acquisition) under reverse acquisition principles. Refer to Note 22 for details of the reverse acquisition and its financial effects during the current financial year. (dd) 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. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data. - 36 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (ee) Share based payment transactions For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the Group measure the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the goods or service received cannot be estimated reliably, the Group measure their value and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity granted. (ff) Issued Capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. 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. 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company. Key estimates: Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 1. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. Refer to Note 15 for further information. 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. - 37 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONT.) 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 Group 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. Estimation of useful lives of assets The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non- strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. Share based payments Share-based payments are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. 3.

OPERATING SEGMENTS Identification of reportable operating segments The consolidated entity is organised into two operating segments based on geographic location of operations: Australia and United Kingdom. These operating segments are 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 CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. Intersegment receivables, payables and loans Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONT.) The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk and ageing. The Group’s primary customer base is of a similar bracket and share the same characteristics, as such these have been treated as one population. The other customer base relates to State customers, with no history of default, therefore, the lifetime expected losses are considered to be $nil. The rent deposits of $129,633 (2020: $15,515) will be fully refundable after the lease agreement ends on 30 June 2025.

The customer contracts have been recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition, and are subsequently amortised on a straight-line based on the timing of projected cash flows of the contracts over their estimated useful lives. The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity's goodwill has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 2 year projection period approved by management and extrapolated for a further 3 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value. Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating units is most sensitive. The following key assumptions were used in the discounted cash flow model: • 15% pre-tax discount rate; • 5% per month projected revenue growth rate for the 2022 year; • 5% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads The discount rate of 15% pre-tax reflects management’s estimate of the time value of money and the consolidated entity’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements. Management believes the projected 5% monthly in 2022 revenue growth rate is conservative, based on growth in the market and Group historic growth. - 48 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 15. INTANGIBLES (CONT.) Management have increased costs in accordance with operational requirements in line with expected increased activity. There were no other key assumptions. From our above assessment for the reporting period 30 June 2021, we are satisfied that there is no indication that Goodwill may be impaired. 16. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Current (unsecured) Trade payables Other Creditors Accruals Employee related payables Non-current (unsecured) Deferred consideration 2021 $ 1,236,139 68,195 195,189 108,123 1,607,646 2020 $ 1,162,337 456,886 305,897 55,685 1,980,805 - - 90,733 90,733 Trade and other payables and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and ongoing costs and are non-interest bearing. For most suppliers no interest is charged on the trade payables for the first 30 days from the date of the invoice. Thereafter, interest is chargeable on the outstanding balances at various interest rates. The Group has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that payables are paid within the credit timeframe. Due to the short-term nature of the trade payables the carrying amount approximates fair value. Other payables are non-trade receivables, and are non-interest bearing. The above amounts do not bear interest and the Directors consider that the carrying amount is equivalent to their fair value. All amounts due to group companies are repayable on demand, and are non-interest bearing. As at 30 June 2020, there was £50,000 (AUD$90,970) of deferred consideration relating to the acquisition of P&D Pharmaceuticals, which has since been written off as it is no longer payable as at 30 June 2021. The deferred consideration balance was written off and recognised as a gain within other administrative expenses. - 49 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 17.

RESERVES Foreign currency reserve The reserve is used to recognise exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations to Australian dollars. It is also used to recognise gains and losses on hedges of the net investments in foreign operations. - 51 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 20. RESERVES (CONT.) Other reserves The other reserve was created as a result of the acquisition by the Company of the entire issued share capital of CliniCann Ltd. This acquisition was effected by a share-for-share exchange. In preparing consolidated financial statements, the amount by which the fair value of the shares issued exceeded their nominal value was recorded in an 'other' reserve on consolidation. This reserve is not considered to be distributable. 21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Group are exposed to the risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the objectives, policies and processes of the Group for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements. Capital risk management The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern whilst maximising the return to stakeholders. The Group is funded by both of its shareholders through equity financing. The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising issued capital and retained profits. The Group has no externally imposed capital requirements. Significant accounting policies Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in the accounting policies section of these financial statements. Principal financial instruments The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows: · Trade and other receivables; · Trade and other payables; · Cash and cash equivalents; · Financial assets at amortised cost; and · Borrowings - 52 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 21.

Fair value measurements The information set out below provides information about how the Group and Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities. - 53 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT.) The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable: • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). • • All financial instruments are defined as any contract that gives rise to both the recognition of a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity. The estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in the market. For the purpose of estimating the fair value of financial assets maturing in less than one year, the Group uses the market value. For other investments, the Group uses quoted prices in the market. In relation to financial liabilities, since most loans are taken at variable rates or fixed rates that approximate to market rates, the fair value of loans approximates their carrying value. The fair value disclosures relating to the Group’s investments are disclosed in Note 14. Financial risk management objectives The Group’s finance function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk assessments. These risks include credit risk, currency risk and capital risk. Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables, other financial assets and its cash balances. The Group gives careful consideration to which organisations it uses for its banking services in order to minimise credit risk. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk and ageing. The Group’s primary customer base is of a similar bracket and share the same characteristics, as such these have been treated as one population. The other customer base relates to State customers, with no history of default, therefore, the lifetime expected losses are considered to be $nil. The concentration of the Group's credit risk is considered by counterparty, geography and currency. The Group holds the majority of its cash with one bank in each country of operation. There are no other significant concentrations of credit risk at the Statement of Financial Position date. At 30 June 2021, the Group held no collateral as security against any financial asset. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained. At 30 June 2021, there were no financial assets, other than trade receivables, that were past their due date. As a result, there has been no impairment of other financial assets during the year. - 54 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT.) The Group maintains good relationships with its bank, which has a high credit rating and its cash requirements are anticipated via both the annual budgetary process and the ongoing authorisation for expenditure process. At 30 June 2021, the Group had $5,224,961 (2020: $494,924) of cash reserves. Foreign currency risk The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies hence exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Group does not manage these exposures with foreign currency derivative products. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the balance date expressed in Australian dollars are as follows: British Pound Sterling (GBP) Assets Liabilities Euro (EUR) Assets Liabilities United States Dollars (USD) Assets Liabilities Canadian Dollars (CAD) Assets Liabilities 2021 $ 1,329,527 (842,803) 486,724 2020 $ 606,793 (1,775,719) (1,168,926) 2021 $ 159,989 (174,092) (14,103) 2021 $ - - - 2021 $ - - - 2020 $ 579,717 (61,592) 518,126 2020 $ 7,211 - 7,211 2020 $ - (35,142) (35,142) The Group is exposed to British Pound Sterling (GBP), Euro (EUR), United States Dollars (USD) and Canadian Dollar (CAD) currency fluctuations. The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represent management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. - 55 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT.) The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number indicates an increase in profit and equity where the Australian Dollar weakens against the respective currency. For a strengthening of the Australian Dollar against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and equity and the balances below would be negative. 10% Increase Profit/(loss) and equity – GBP Profit/(loss) and equity – EUR Profit/(loss) and equity – USD Profit/(loss) and equity – CAD 10% Decrease Profit/(loss) and equity – GBP Profit/(loss) and equity – EUR Profit/(loss) and equity – USD Profit/(loss) and equity – CAD 2021 $ 48,672 (1,410) - - 47,262 2021 $ (48,672) 1,410 - - (47,262) 2020 $ (116,893) 51,813 721 (3,514) (67,873) 2020 $ 116,893 (51,813) (721) 3,514 67,873 Capital risk The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings (see Note 1 for going concern statement). Interest rate risk is not material to the Group. 22. ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of Gees Pharmacy On 1 September 2020, the Group purchased the trade and other assets of Gees Pharmacy, a web-based pharmacy business in the UK, for a total consideration of £325,001 (AUD$598,661) (plus working capital adjustments). The amounts recognised in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as set out in the table below: - 56 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 22.

Reverse Acquisition of Health House Holdings Limited On 19 March 2021 VPCL Limited (now Health House International Limited, the legal parent entity) acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Health House Holdings Limited. Health House Holdings Limited is a UK incorporated entity which is an international pharmaceutical distributor specialising in, but not limited to, the distribution of medicinal cannabis products across Australasia, United Kingdom and Europe. Under the terms of the transaction VPCL Limited issued 115,298,743 shares in the Company to the vendors of House House Holdings Limited, along with 3,458,961 shares to advisors resulting in VPCL Limited acquiring 100% of the legal parent entity’s issued capital. The Company changed its name to Health House International Limited following shareholder approval received at the Company’s general meeting of shareholders held on 29 January 2021 and also changed its ASX code to HHI effective from 24 March 2021. Notwithstanding that the transaction used the principles of a reverse acquisition as described in AASB 3 Business Combinations however, the transaction was not deemed a business combination on the basis that VPCL Limited did not meet the definition of a business as noted in that standard. The Group applied, by analogy, the guidance in AASB 3 on reverse acquisitions, resulting in Health House Holdings Limited (the non-listed operating entity) being identified as the accounting acquirer and VPCL Limited (the listed non-operating entity) being identified as the accounting acquiree. As the transaction is not within scope of AASB 3, the transaction was treated as a share-based payment transaction (asset acquisition) accounted for in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payments. The Group consequently recognised a share-based payment of $1,845,000 in its statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, representing the cost of the listing. The cost is calculated as the difference in the fair value of the shares deemed to have been issued by Health House Holdings Limited (the non-listed entity) and the fair value of the accounting acquiree's identifiable net liabilities. - 57 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 22.

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 David Wheeler Chairman Dated at Perth this 30 day of September 2021 - 64 - INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the members of Health House International Limited (formerly VPCL Limited) Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the financial report of Health House International Limited (formerly VPCL Limited) (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of 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 30 June 2021 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 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 Note 1 (c) in the financial report, which indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity’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 we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. - 65 - Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Asset Acquisition under Reverse Acquisition Principles Refer to Note 22 During the year, VPCL Limited (now Health House International Limited) acquired 100% of the issued capital of Health House Holdings Limited a UK entity. This transaction was enacted through the issuance of shares in VPCL Limited, such that the shareholders of Health House Holdings Limited obtained control of VPCL Limited. Accordingly, management determined that this transaction was a reverse acquisition under the principles outlined in AASB 3 Business Combinations. Although the guidance of AASB 3 was used to identify the accounting acquirer and accounting acquiree, the transaction itself was not within the scope of AASB 3, with the transaction instead being identified as a share- based payment transaction and therefore accounted for under AASB 2 Share-based Payment. VPCL Limited does not constitute a business on AASB 3 and therefore the acquisition of VCPL Limited is an acquisition of assets. Accounting for this transaction and the disclosure requirements are sufficiently complex, requiring assumptions and judgements in determine the fair value of the consideration paid and net assets acquired. Recoverable amount of goodwill Refer to Note 15 The carrying amount of goodwill of $1,365,034, recognised on acquisition of CliniCann Limited, is required to be tested for impairment annually in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets and AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. It is due to size, complexity and judgement involved that this is considered a key audit matter. Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following: - We reviewed the relevant agreements in order to gain an understanding of the key the terms and conditions of transaction; - We reviewed management’s assessment of the fair value of the gross consideration paid, and agreed the assessment relevant to supporting information ; the - We ensured that the acquisition date assets and liabilities of VPCL Limited were fairly stated; - We ensured that the net impact of the reverse acquisition was correctly reflected in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income; and - We assessed the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in respect to this transaction, including the presentation of the comparative information, being that of Health House Holdings Limited (UK). Our procedures included, but were not limited to the following: - We assessed the appropriateness of the allocated cash generating units; - We assessed the appropriateness of the methodology in the value in use model and key assumptions; the basis for - We assessed the value in use model for consistency with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards; - We performed sensitivity analyses around the key inputs used in the cash flow forecasts and the headroom impact on the value in use model; - We reviewed accuracy of the model; the mathematical - We compared the discounted cash flow value to the carrying amount of assets comprising the cash-generating unit; - We considered whether the assets comprising the cash-generating unit had been correctly allocated; - We assessed the reasonableness of forecast cash flows; - 66 - - We considered the appropriateness of the discount rate used; and - We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made in the financial report. 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 30 June 2021, 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. - - 67 - - - 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 within the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Health House International Limited (formerly VPCL Limited) for the year ended 30 June 2021 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 HLB Mann Judd Chartered Accountants Perth, Western Australia 30 September 2021 D I Buckley Partner - 68 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 30 September 2021 and has been approved by the Board of the Company.

Subject to the specific authorities reserved to the Board under the Board Charter, the Board delegates to the Chief Executive Officer responsibility for the management and operation of Health House International. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-to-day operations, financial performance and administration of Health House International within the powers authorised to him from time-to-time by the Board. The Chief Executive Officer may make further delegation within the delegations specified by the Board and will be accountable to the Board for the exercise of those delegated powers. Further details of Board responsibilities, objectives and structure are set out in the Board Charter on the Health House International website. Board Committees The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate committees at this time including audit, risk, remuneration or nomination committees, preferring at this stage of the Company’s development, to manage the Company through the full Board of Directors. The Board assumes the responsibilities normally delegated to the audit, risk, remuneration and nomination Committees. If the Company’s activities increase, in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate committees will be reviewed by the Board and implemented if appropriate. Board Appointments The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director, or putting that person forward as a candidate to ensure that person is competent, experienced, and would not be impaired in any way from undertaking the duties of director. The Company provides relevant information to shareholders for their consideration about the attributes of candidates together with whether the Board supports the appointment or re-election. The terms of the appointment of a non-executive director, executive directors and senior executives are agreed upon and set out in writing at the time of appointment. The Company Secretary The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board, including agendas, Board papers and minutes, advising the Board and its Committees (as applicable) on governance matters, monitoring that the Board and Committee policies and procedures are followed, communication with regulatory bodies and the ASX and statutory and other filings. Diversity The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which provides a framework for the Company to establish and achieve measurable diversity objectives, including in respect to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural diversity. - 70 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) The Diversity Policy allows the Board to set measurable gender diversity objectives (if considered appropriate) and to assess annually both the objectives (if any have been set) and the Company’s progress towards achieving them. The Board considers that, due to the size, nature and stage of development of the Company, setting measurable objectives for the Diversity Policy at this time is not appropriate. The Board will consider setting measurable objectives as the Company increases in size and complexity. The participation of women in the Company at the date of this report is as follows: • Women employees in the Company • Women in senior management positions • Women on the Board 58% 0% 0% The Company’s Diversity Policy is available on its website. Board & Management Performance Review On an annual basis, the Board conducts a review of its structure, composition and performance. The annual review includes consideration of the following measures: • comparing the performance of the Board against the requirements of its Charter; • assessing the performance of the Board over the previous 12 months having regard to the corporate strategies, operating plans and the annual budget; • reviewing the Board’s interaction with management; • reviewing the type and timing of information provided to the Board by management; • reviewing management’s performance in assisting the Board to meet its objectives; and • identifying any necessary or desirable improvements to the Board Charter. The method and scope of the performance evaluation will be set by the Board and may include a Board self-assessment checklist to be completed by each Director. The Board may also use an independent adviser to assist in the review. The Chairman has primary responsibility for conducting performance appraisals of Non-Executive Directors, in conjunction with them, having particular regard to: • contribution to Board discussion and function; • degree of independence including relevance of any conflicts of interest; • availability for and attendance at Board meetings and other relevant events; • contribution to Company strategy; • membership of and contribution to any Board committees; and • suitability to Board structure and composition. Given, the size of the Board, the changes to the composition of the Board in May 2021 and the current level of operations of the Company, no formal appraisal of the Board was conducted during the financial year. The Board conducts an annual performance assessment of the Chief Executive Officer against agreed key performance indicators. Independent Advice Directors have a right of access to all Company information and executives. Directors are entitled, in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities, to obtain independent professional advice on any matter connected with the discharge of their responsibilities, with prior notice to the Chairman, at Health House International’ expense. - 71 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) Principle 2: Structure the board to be effective and add value Board Composition During the financial year and to the date of this report the Board was comprised of the following members: Name David Wheeler Position Chairman Christopher Mews Non-Executive Director Hon Michael Rann Non-Executive Director Dr Henrik Sprengel Executive Director Length of Service 1 year and 5 months 3 years and 3 months 2 months 6 months Leanne Graham Executive Chairperson (resigned 19 March 2021) The Board currently consists of one Executive and three Non-Executive Directors.

The Board is informed of any material incidents under both policies. Principle 4: Safeguard the integrity of corporate reports The Board as a whole fulfils the functions normally delegated to the Audit Committee as detailed in the Audit Committee Charter. The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises. Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete independence from the Company through the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external auditor based on criteria relevant to the Company’s business and circumstances. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board. The Board receives regular reports from management and from external auditors. It also meets with the external auditors as and when required. The external auditors attend Health House International' AGM and are available to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. Prior approval of the Board must be gained for non-audit work to be performed by the external auditor. There are qualitative limits on this non-audit work to ensure that the independence of the auditor is maintained. There is also a requirement that the audit partner responsible for the audit not perform in that role for more than five years. - 73 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) CEO and CFO Certifications The Board, before it approves the entity’s financial statements for a financial period, receives from its CEO and CFO (or, if none, the persons fulfilling those functions) a declaration provided in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively. Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy which outlines the disclosure obligations of the Company as required under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act. The policy is designed to ensure that procedures are in place so that the market is properly informed of matters which may have a material impact on the price at which Company securities are traded. The Board considers whether there are any matters requiring disclosure in respect of each and every item of business that it considers in its meetings. Individual Directors are required to make such a consideration when they become aware of any information in the course of their duties as a Director of the Company. The Company is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and timely access to material information concerning the Company. The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for communicating with the ASX. The Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and the Company Secretary are responsible for ensuring that: a) Company announcements are made in a timely manner, that announcements are factual and do not omit any material information required to be disclosed under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act; and b) Company announcements are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions. Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders The Company recognises the value of providing current and relevant information to its shareholders. The Company respects the rights of its shareholders and to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights the Company is committed to: • communicating effectively with shareholders through releases to the market via ASX, the company website, information mailed to shareholders and the general meetings of the Company; giving shareholders ready access to clear and understandable information about the Company; and • • making it easy for shareholders to participate in general meetings of the Company. The Company also makes available a telephone number and email address for shareholders to make enquiries of the Company. These contact details are available on the “contact us” page of the Company’s website. Shareholders may elect to, and are encouraged to, receive communications from Health House International and Health House International' securities registry electronically. The Company maintains information in relation to its Constitution, governance documents, Directors and senior executives, Board and committee charters, annual reports and ASX announcements on the Company’s website. - 74 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) The Company ensures that all resolutions at a meeting of shareholders are decided by a poll rather than by a show of hands. Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk The Board is committed to the identification, assessment and management of risk throughout Health House International' business activities. The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control framework. The Company does not have an internal audit function. Responsibility for control and risk management is delegated to the appropriate level of management within the Company with the Chief Executive Officer having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and internal compliance and control framework. Health House International has established policies for the oversight and management of material business risks. Health House International' Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy recognises that risk management is an essential element of good corporate governance and fundamental in achieving its strategic and operational objectives. Risk management improves decision making, defines opportunities and mitigates material events that may impact security holder value. Health House International believes that explicit and effective risk management is a source of insight and competitive advantage. To this end, Health House International is committed to the ongoing development of a strategic and consistent enterprise wide risk management program, underpinned by a risk conscious culture. Health House International accepts that risk is a part of doing business. Therefore, the Company’s Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy is not designed to promote risk avoidance. Rather Health House International' approach is to create a risk conscious culture that encourages the systematic identification, management and control of risks whilst ensuring we do not enter into unnecessary risks or enter into risks unknowingly. Health House International assesses its risks on a residual basis; that is it evaluates the level of risk remaining and considering all the mitigation practices and controls. Depending on the materiality of the risks, Health House International applies varying levels of management plans. The Board has required management to design and implement a risk management and internal compliance and control system to manage Health House International’ material business risks. It receives regular reports on specific business areas where there may exist significant business risk or exposure. The Company faces risks inherent to its business, including economic risks, which may materially impact the Company’s ability to create or preserve value for security holders over the short, medium or long term. The Company has in place policies and procedures, including a risk management framework (as described in the Company’s Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy), which is developed and updated to help manage these risks. The Board does not consider that the Company currently has any material exposure to environmental or social sustainability risks. The Company’s process of risk management and internal compliance and control includes: • identifying and measuring risks that might impact upon the achievement of the Company’s goals and objectives, and monitoring the environment for emerging factors and trends that affect those risks. formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks, and designing and implementing appropriate risk management policies and internal controls. • • monitoring the performance of, and improving the effectiveness of, risk management systems and internal compliance and controls, including regular assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and control. - 75 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) The Board review’s the Company’s risk management framework at least annually to ensure that it continues to effectively manage risk. Management reports to the Board as to the effectiveness of Health House International’ management of its material business risks on at each Board meeting. Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly The Board as a whole fulfils the functions normally delegated to the Remuneration Committee as detailed in the Remuneration Committee Charter. Health House International has implemented a Remuneration Policy which was designed to recognise the competitive environment within which Health House International operates and also emphasise the requirement to attract and retain high calibre talent in order to achieve sustained improvement in Health House Internationals’ performance. The overriding objective of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure that an individual’s remuneration package accurately reflects their experience, level of responsibility, individual performance and the performance of Health House International. The key principles are to: • • link executive reward with strategic goals and sustainable performance of Health House International; apply challenging corporate and individual key performance indicators that focus on both short-term and long-term outcomes; • motivate and recognise superior performers with fair, consistent and competitive rewards; • • • remunerate fairly and competitively in order to attract and retain top talent; recognise capabilities and promote opportunities for career and professional development; and through employee ownership of Health House International shares, foster a partnership between employees and other security holders. The Board determines the Company’s remuneration policies and practices and assesses the necessary and desirable competencies of Board members. The Board is responsible for evaluating Board performance, reviewing Board and management succession plans and determines remuneration packages for the Executive Director, Non-Executive Directors and senior management based on an annual review. Health House Internationals’ executive remuneration policies and structures and details of remuneration paid to directors and senior managers (where appointed) are set out in the Remuneration Report. Non-Executive Directors receive fees (including statutory superannuation where applicable) for their services, the reimbursement of reasonable expenses and, in certain circumstances options. They do not receive any termination or retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation. The maximum aggregate remuneration approved by shareholders for Non-Executive Directors is $500,000 per annum. The Directors set the individual Non-Executive Directors fees within the limit approved by shareholders. The total fees paid to Non-Executive Directors during the reporting period were $246,000. Executive directors and other senior executives (where appointed) are remunerated using combinations of fixed and performance-based remuneration. Fees and salaries are set at levels reflecting market rates and performance-based remuneration is linked directly to specific performance targets that are aligned to both short and long term objectives. In accordance with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, participants in an equity based incentive scheme are prohibited from entering into any transaction that would have the effect of hedging or otherwise transferring the risk of any fluctuation in the value of any unvested entitlement in the Company’s securities to any other person. - 76 - Annual Report 2021 Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) Further details in relation to the Company’s remuneration policies are contained in the Remuneration Report, within the Directors’ Report.
