Service Agreements 

Executive Directors Remuneration  

Executive Name 
David Wheeler 

Remuneration 

Executive fee of $120,000 per annum. No service period in contract. 

Dr Henrik Sprengel 2-year fixed term consultancy services agreement for EUR 13,330 per month. 

This agreement has effect from 10 August 2021 and shall continue for the 
period until 31 March 2022, at which time the parties shall enter into an 
employment agreement with a fixed term to expire not less than 24 months 
from 10 August 2021. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

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.

(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.

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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

deductions to be realised; 

(ii)  conditions for deductibility imposed by the law are complied with; and 
(iii)  no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the realisation of the benefit from the deductions.

10.    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. 

Company 
All amounts due from subsidiary undertakings are repayable on demand, and are non-interest bearing. 
No allowances for ECL's have been made during the year ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $Nil).

Customer contracts of £240,001 (AUD$436,659) have been capitalised as part of the acquisition of trade 
and  assets  from  Gees  Pharmacy  Limited  on  1  September  2020  (see  Note  22  for  details).  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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.

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.

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

In May 2021, £185,001 (AUD$337,693) was transferred to Ian Greenep in relation to the acquisition. 

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.

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.

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

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

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

Annual Report 2021 

Health House International Limited (formally VPCL Limited) 

Company has adopted, and that its practice is consistent with, a number of guidelines including:  
−  Code of Conduct;  
−  Continuous Disclosure Policy;  
−  Diversity Policy;  
−  Performance Evaluation Policy; 
−  Procedures for Selection and Appointment of Directors; 
−  Remuneration Policy;  
−  Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy.  
−  Securities Trading Policy; and 
−  Shareholder Communications Policy. 

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.

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%

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.

Principle 3: Instil a culture of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly 

The Company’s values  can be found on the Company’s website at www.healthhouse.com.au. 

The Company has implemented a Code of Conduct, which provides guidelines aimed at maintaining high 
ethical standards, corporate behaviour and accountability within the Company. 

All employees and Directors are expected to: 
• 
respect the law and act in accordance with it; 
•  maintain high levels of professional conduct; 
• 
• 
• 
• 

respect confidentiality and not misuse Company information, assets or facilities; 
avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest; 
act in the best interests of shareholders; 
by their actions contribute to the Company’s reputation as a good corporate citizen which seeks the 
respect of the community and environment in which it operates; 
perform their duties in ways that minimise environmental impacts and maximise workplace safety; 
exercise fairness, courtesy, respect, consideration and sensitivity in all dealings within their workplace 
and with customers, suppliers and the public generally; and 
act with honesty, integrity, decency and responsibility at all times. 

• 
• 

• 

An  employee  that  breaches  the  Code  of  Conduct may  face  disciplinary  action  including,  in  the  cases  of 
serious breaches, dismissal.  If an employee suspects that a breach of the Code of Conduct has occurred or 
will occur, he or she must report that breach to the Company Secretary.  No employee will be disadvantaged 
or prejudiced if he or she reports in good faith a suspected breach.  All reports will be acted upon and kept 
confidential. 

The Company has adopted a Whistleblower Protection Policy and an Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, 
both of which can be found on the Company’s website at www.healthhouse.com.au. 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.

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.

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:

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.
