Reflecting the heart of our business, during the year we relocated our corporate office from Melbourne back to South Australia and reduced its size. With the overwhelming support of our shareholders, we renamed the Group, Maggie Beer Holdings, consistent with our vision and ethos. The Group’s continued success is due to our key stakeholders and the: • hard work and commitment of our employees; • support of our loyal customers and suppliers; • strong consumer following for our premium positioned Food and Beverage portfolio. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our hard-working dedicated team members, our loyal customers and suppliers, and our shareholders for their patience and continued support. With a strong balance sheet, an enviable brand portfolio, a significant e-commerce data base, and a strong pipeline of innovative new products, Maggie Beer Holdings is positioned to grow in FY21. I very much look forward to welcoming you at our Annual General Meeting in October and continuing to grow the Maggie Beer Holdings’ portfolio of premium food and beverage brands. Reg Weine Chairman increase its presence in the premium entertaining categories. The “Cooking with Maggie” series demonstrated the unrivalled brand love that Maggie Beer enjoys. We also benefited from the consumer shift to online purchasing during COVID-19, through our Maggie Beer Food Club and direct to consumer model. The turnaround in Paris Creek Farms accelerated in the second half of FY20, with strong revenue growth, manufacturing efficiency improvements and achievement of our China organic certification. Whilst there is still work to do, to reposition the portfolio and better balance the basket of dairy products that we manufacture, the foundations are solid and momentum is building. Our Melbourne based St David Dairy business has been more adversley impacted by COVID-19 than our other businesses given the disruption to the food service and hospitality sectors and stage 4 restrictions in Victoria. However, management were quick to divert its channel focus from cafés to specialty retail during the sustained lockdown periods and despite the “ The Group achieved its first positive trading EBITDA” Dear Shareholders, The 2020 financial year was extremely challenging given the devasting impacts of Australia’s summer bushfires followed by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 continues to affect the economy, our business, and the communities in which we operate. During this crisis, employee safety and wellbeing has been our primary concern. Securing our supply chain and meeting customer demand continues to be a strong focus, as is financial discipline and sustainability. Despite these unprecedented challenges, the Group achieved its first positive trading EBITDA as a premium food and beverage Group, reflecting: • The underlying strength of our premium brands; • Diversified business model; • Completion of the ‘cost-out’ and corporate restructuring activities. It is also pleasing to see Group revenue increase for the full year despite the strong headwinds. Facing difficult trading conditions, our three businesses – Maggie Beer Products, Paris Creek Farms and St David Dairy – all performed well. Maggie Beer Products continued to 6 “We renamed the Group, Maggie Beer Holdings, consistent with our vision and ethos.” PAG E 7 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | CEO’s REPORT the three businesses have all been impacted by these events in varying degrees at different times, the Group’s diversification – channels, customers, and brands – enabled it to navigate through the challenges and continue to grow. Turnaround strategy delivering benefits with $3.9 million of savings achieved In response to FY19’s disappointing results, the Group commenced its turnaround in June 2019. The initial step was to restructure and reset the cost base of Paris Creek Farms. Following this, our corporate office was restructured, and steps were taken to implement efficiencies and refinements at Maggie Beer Products and St David Dairy. Together, these changes generated savings in FY20 of $3.9 million across the Group. In addition, synergies were also realised, in particular between Maggie Beer Products and Paris Creek Farms, with shared distribution, finance, purchasing and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Positive financial results despite tough trading conditions Whilst focusing on manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies, the team also worked hard to drive revenue growth across the business. Pleasingly, the Group achieved FY20 net sales of $44.5 million, up 3.8% on a comparable FY19, despite the tough trading conditions. A key financial focus for FY20 was to return the Group to a positive cashflow run rate by the end of the financial year, which I am pleased to say we have been able to achieve. The Group also achieved a positive trading EBITDA for the first time as a premium food and beverage group in FY20. Multiple growth platforms for profitable Maggie Beer Products After an uplift in sales in March, as a result of consumer panic buying due to COVID-19, sales dropped in April, before rebounding in May and June, growing 25% on the same months in FY19. The love for the Maggie Beer brand continued, with the launch of the “Cooking with Maggie” series in April 2020, which now has over 4.5 million views on social media, and resulted in a large increase in direct to consumer e-commerce sales in the last quarter of FY20. With more people cooking and entertaining at home, we saw solid growth in the range of Maggie Beer Products, particularly cooking stocks and cheeses. New cheese lines were launched during the year, increasing Maggie Beer Products’ presence in the cheese category. Maggie Beer Products will also launch its healthy and convenient plant based ready meals nationally in Coles supermarkets, in October. The business is now focusing on growing its e-commerce presence, while expanding its core portfolio with better ranging and distribution. Paris Creek Farms returns to positive trading EBITDA run rate Off the back of a well-executed cost base reset in June 2019, together with a focus on gaining manufacturing efficiencies, achieving better distribution, reducing wastage and growing sales, Paris Creek Farms returned to a positive trading EBITDA run rate by the end of FY20. Dear Shareholders, I am humbled and honoured to have been given the opportunity in FY20 to lead our great business. The past 12 months presented the Group with many challenges, but also many opportunities. FY20 was a year of transformational change as we sustainably built on the base of our three premium Australian food and beverage brands – Maggie Beer Products, Paris Creek Farms and St David Dairy. Group showed its resilience during extraordinarily tough trading conditions Like many businesses, the Group faced extraordinarily tough trading conditions in FY20. Firstly, with the summer bushfires followed shortly after by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, which continues to disrupt Australian and international markets and economies. The safety and wellbeing of our employees has always been paramount, with full COVID-19 response plans implemented across all businesses. Pleasingly the Group has so far proven to be resilient. Although 8 With 19% net sales growth in the second half of FY20 (compared to H2 FY19), the business has good momentum entering FY21. St David Dairy ’s sales increased by 13% year on year, despite COVID- 19 impacts St David Dairy was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions placed on the hospitality and food service businesses. However, consumer loyalty to its brand, together with its ability to contract its cost base and expand into the retail and home delivery market, St David Dairy remained cashflow positive and still achieve a double-digit EBITDA margin as well as considerable sales growth for FY20. The business also took the opportunity to review its cost base during March and April and put in place further manufacturing efficiencies, which coupled with the enhanced diversified sales model, will set the business up for a strong FY21. Company name change to Maggie Beer Holdings reinforced brand equity Looking to the future and with discerning consumers increasingly looking for premium Australian food and beverage products and brands, the Board took the opportunity to change the name of the Group to Maggie Beer Holdings. In July 2020, shareholders overwhelmingly approved the name change, making the Group easily recognisable as a premium Australian food and beverage company. Positioned for growth After a year of cost-out, restructuring and consolidation, Maggie Beer Holdings Group is now positioned for growth. All three brands will benefit from increased ranging, brand awareness, and new product development, supported by a well- funded marketing strategy. The past twelve months highlighted the incredible work and dedication of the teams across our three brands, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our amazing people. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued belief and support of the Maggie Beer Holdings Group. Maggie Beer Holdings is proud to make premium Australian food and beverage products, using local produce that supports local dairy farmers, fruit and vegetable growers and their local communities. This is our very essence and the ethos of our three businesses. Maggie Beer Products, Paris Creek Farms and St David Dairy resonate strongly with Australian consumers who are increasingly looking for high-quality food and beverages brands using locally sourced ingredients. We are excited about the future of the Maggie Beer Holdings Group and what it means for our shareholders, customers, staff, suppliers and the communities in which we operate. Chantale Millard CEO “The Company is well positioned for sustained growth with a streamlined cost base, a strong pipeline of innovative products and renewed focus on the core strengths of the individual businesses and brands” PAG E 9 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | OPERATIONS REPORT Financial Performance • St David Dairy: Resilient sales In FY20, and in particular the second half of the year, the Group faced exceptionally adverse economic conditions stemming from the summer bushfires affecting NSW, VIC and SA up to the end of February 2020, and the global COVID-19 pandemic impacting Australia from the middle of March 2020. Despite this, the Group’s FY20 statutory financial results, particularly in the second half, reflect the benefits now flowing from the successful changes implemented over the past 18 months. The Group achieved FY20 revenue of $45.6 million, incorporating a full year of St David Dairy and Maggie Beer Products. FY19 included 11 months of activities for St David Dairy (acquired on 1 August 2018) and 2.5 months of 100% activities of Maggie Beer Products, together with 9.5 months of 48% of Maggie Beer Products net profit as an associate (acquisition of the remaining 52% was completed on 15 April 2019). The Group incurred a loss after tax of $14.8 million (FY19: loss of $21.7 million) reflecting: • Maggie Beer Products: Continued to perform well with improved EBITDA (on a full ownership basis) even with the impact of the 2020 summer bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic. • Paris Creek Farms: A non-cash, non-operating goodwill impairment expense of $12.1 million reduced goodwill to nil for this asset, while a sales turnaround and reduced operating costs returned the business to positive trading EBITDA run-rate late FY20. growth and double-digit % EBITDA margin despite the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on the hospitality sector. • Head Office: Reduced corporate costs. All trading EBITDA numbers exclude the positive impact from the adoption of AASB16 on 1 July 2019 to make them comparable to FY19 EBITDA numbers. Maggie Beer Products Despite the impact of the summer bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic, Maggie Beer Products continued to deliver strong results with EBITDA up 35%, on a comparable FY19 basis, to $2.7 million (comparable FY19: $2.0 million). With a continued focus on operational efficiencies the business was able to increase its EBITDA margin by 3.4 points to 12.9% (comparable FY19: 9.5%). Net sales of $20.8 million were almost flat against the prior year (comparable FY19: $20.9 million), a direct impact of the bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic. However, sales performed strongly in May and June 2020, up 25% on May and June FY19, as consumers turned to Australian brands that they know and trust. The business also saw growth from its e-commerce sales, with more consumers looking for home delivery options. Maggie Beer cheese was the number one selling line for the year with fruit paste, stocks and pate all contributing strongly. Continuing from the successful Q4 FY18 restructure and cost out initiatives reducing labour, selling, marketing and “After much change the Board is pleased with the business turnaround in FY20.” 10 overhead expenses, total expenses as a percentage of net sales reduced by a further 3 points to 35% in FY20 (comparable FY19: 38%). While focusing on the business cost base, management is also concentrating on launching new products to address changing consumer tastes, with five new cheese lines launched nationally in June 2020 and its plant-based ready-made meals launching nationally in Coles in October 2020, and further new product launches planned for FY21. Paris Creek Farms Paris Creek Farms’ performance in FY20 reflected the anticipated turnaround in sales and benefits from operational changes that started to be implemented in Q4 FY19 and continued into FY20. The business’ reduced cost base and recovery in sales, underpinned a very strong improvement in EBITDA. A positive monthly trading EBITDA run-rate was achieved by the end of FY20, with H2 FY20 trading EBITDA close to break-even. Net sales for FY20 grew by 7% to $16.0 million (FY19: $15.0 million). The second half of the year saw stronger revenue growth with sales for H2 FY20 up 19% to $8.2 million (H2 FY19: $6.9 million). Growth returned in branded dairy products in supermarkets in the core South Australia market. In supermarkets in South Australia, private label volumes also increased with strengthened relationships with key customers in major and independent markets, amongst other initiatives implemented since H2 FY19. FY20 gross profit was up 25% to $6.9 million (FY19: $5.6 million), with gross margin percentage improving by 6.0 points to 43.3%, with H2 FY20 reaching 46.3%, its highest level since acquisition. This improvement is the result of the business’ focus on increasing sales of its more profitable and higher volume lines, reduced overhead costs, less wastage and better utilisation of the business’ manufacturing assets and milk pool. Paris Creek Farms’ farmers continue to deliver milk in accordance with its supply growth trajectory, with any excess milk over the spring months being on-sold to third parties. Significant savings resulted from successful cost reduction initiatives implemented since Q4 FY19, with total expenses reduced by $1.6 million over FY20 (equivalent to $2.2 million at FY19 sales levels). Labour costs reduced significantly, being 10 points lower than FY19 as a percentage of sales. Overall, excluding non-recurring significant items, Paris Creek Farms FY20 EBITDA was $3.0 million higher than a comparable FY19. Further refinements to its cost base and improving sales and products mix, are expected to underpin further growth in FY21. St David Dairy St David Dairy has proven to be tremendously resilient in the face of COVID-19 related restrictions imposed on the hospitality and foodservice sector across Australia from mid-March 2020, with the business still managing to grow sales in Q4 FY20. Sales for the month of June 2020 prior to stage 4 restrictions, were back to the growth rate enjoyed in H1 FY20. The business experienced a short but sharp drop in sales in the last 2 weeks of March 2020 when a large number of hospitality businesses scrambled to adapt to the new COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the State Governments. St David Dairy responded to the sudden change by contracting its cost base, channelling any excess milk in March to other processors and expanding its footprint into grocers and independent retailers. Despite the exceptionally adverse conditions, St David Dairy continued to deliver revenue growth and increased customer numbers. Sales were up 13% to $8.2 million (comparable FY19: $7.2 million), with the number of ordering customers (stores/cafes) up 20% (up 18% from H2 FY19). Although milk sales slowed in late March and early April 2020, sales regained momentum in May and June 2020, and continue to be the largest product category at 67% of total net sales (FY19: 73%). FY20 milk sales were up 4% compared to FY19, and the introduction of plant-based milk has seen some diversification with its share now 4% of total sales (FY19: Nil). The sales increase to retailers in Q4 FY20 resulted in a 59% increase in yoghurt sales (compared to FY19 on a full ownership basis). The continuing growth in demand by our Sydney based distributor, coupled with an increased demand by bakeries and restaurants, underpinned growth in butter and cream sales (up 17% and 39% respectively compared to FY19 PAG E 11 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | H1 FY20 Maggie Beer Products sales. The adoption of AASB16 Leases from 1 July 2019 has had a negligible impact on the Group’s net assets ($0.0 million). A disciplined approach to working capital and the Group’s cash management will continue. Outlook Despite the significant challenges during the year, the Board is pleased with the business turnaround in FY20 and anticipates that the Group is now in a strong position to capitalise on the growth opportunities for its premium branded food and beverage portfolio. With a continued focus on working capital initiatives, a strong innovation pipeline and increasing consumer demand, the business should deliver long term sustainable growth for the Group, and shareholder value. OPERATIONS REPORT (Continued) on a full ownership basis). Gross Profit (GP) reflected the positive sales performance for the period. However, gross margin percentage was adversely impacted by industry wide increasing milk (up 10% on a comparable FY19) and cream costs (up 5% on a comparable FY19) resulting in a 2.6 point decrease in gross margin percentage to 52.0% (comparable FY19: 54.6%). FY20 EBITDA of $1.0 million was directly impacted by raw material cost increases, while the renewal of the ageing truck fleet at the start of H2 FY20 mitigated some of the extra freight costs incurred in H1 FY20 and will contribute positively to future EBITDA margin. Labour costs stabilised in FY20 and finished in line with FY19 as a percentage of sales, despite some reduced activity in parts of March and April 2020. St David Dairy has proven particularly agile and resilient in responding to COVID-19 challenges and with milk and cream input prices softening in FY21 and its new diversified business model, the business is expected to continue to grow in FY21, under current trading conditions. Corporate Shared services and corporate office costs of $2.5 million (excluding one- off items) were $2.0 million lower (comparable FY19: $4.5 million), with employee costs the most significant component. FY20 included net one off costs of $0.5 million (H1 FY19: $0.1 million) related to the corporate office restructure, offset by a claim settlement and COVID-19 government grants. The corporate office was realigned to meet current Group requirements. Balance Sheet The Group is supported by a strong balance sheet with net assets of $50.6 million (30 June 2019: $65.5 million), including a cash balance of $7.2 million at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: $9.8 million) and an undrawn invoice finance facility of $3 million. The decrease in net assets is mainly a result of the $12.1 million non-cash full impairment of Paris Creek Farms’ goodwill at 31 December 2019. With a reduced cost base across the Group, a turnaround in sales in Paris Creek Farms, and collections from Maggie Beer Products’ seasonal sales, positive operating cashflow of $3.1 million was generated in H2 FY20. The lower cash balance over the course of FY20 was mainly due to corporate office restructure costs and cash funding to Paris Creek Farms in H1 FY20. Inventory at 30 June 2020 was $3.5 million (30 June 2019: $3.6 million) or 7.9% of annualised sales (FY19: 8.5%), with Maggie Beer Products holding $2.5 million of stock (30 June 2019: $2.7 million) and Paris Creek Farms $0.8 million (30 June 2019: $0.8 million). Overall working capital for the company is at circa 10% of sales (excl. AASB16 impacts), a decrease of 4 points compared to 31 December 2019 as a result of the collection in H2 FY20 of the stronger 12 WE BELIEVE IN SUSTAINABLE FARMING AND CREATING PRODUCTS AS NATURALLY AS THEY CAN BE PAG E 13 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | CORPORATE RISK MANAGEMENT The Company is committed to the effective management of risk to reduce uncertainty in the Group’s business outcomes and to protect and enhance shareholder value.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of renumeration • Details of remuneration • Executive contracts • Share-based compensation • Additional information • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The objective of the consolidated entity’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: • competitiveness and reasonableness • acceptability to shareholders • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation • transparency The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the consolidated entity depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel. No external specialist remuneration advice is sought in respect of remuneration arrangements for Non-Executive Directors of the Board and Key Management Personnel of the Group during the year. General reward advice is sought on an ad hoc basis. The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders’ interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by: • having economic profit as a • reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth • providing a clear structure for earning rewards Maggie Beer has committed to a two-year period as brand ambassador from April 2019, continuing her association with the Maggie Beer brand, its product development program and customer relationship. Maggie Beer receives fees of $13,092 per month for her services. Maggie Beer received $157,104 for services provided during the year. Each Non-Executive Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company but no additional fees for sitting on or chairing committees. Director Fees are inclusive of superannuation entitlements. All Non-Executive Directors except the company’s Chairman have elected to receive their fees in shares in the company. On 16 July 2020, the Company held a General Meeting of shareholders where the following items were approved by the shareholders: core component of plan design • Issue of up to 4,500,000 • focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value • attracting and retaining high calibre executives Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives’ interests by: • rewarding capability and experience Options to Reg Weine (or his nominee) under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan. • Issue of Shares in the Company to Tom Kiing (or his nominee under the Company’s Director Fees Plan. • Issue of Shares in the Company to Hugh Robertson (or his nominee) under the Company’s Director Fees Plan. • Issue of Shares in the Company to Maggie Beer (or her nominee) under the Company’s Director Fees Plan. PAG E 21 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued) Executive remuneration The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components. The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: • base pay and non monetary benefits • short-term performance incentives • share-based payments • other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration. Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market remunerations. Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive. The short-term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targets of those executives responsible for meeting those targets. Short-term incentives are used to differentiate rewards based on performance on a year by year basis. The principal performance indicator of the short- term incentive plan is the Group’s financial performance. The financial 22 performance measurements selected are revenue growth and Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA). They have been selected as the most appropriate measures of trading performance, and are calculated based on a percentage above a revenue and EBITDA threshold level. This allows the individual to be rewarded for growth in revenue and profitability of the company. The percentage and threshold level can differ for each individual and are reviewed every year. The revenue and EBITDA thresholds are determined based on the ability of the Key Management Personnel to influence the Group’s earnings. The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) include long service leave and share-based payments. Shares and options are occasionally awarded to executives over a period of three years based on long-term incentive measures. These include increase in shareholders’ value relative to the entire market and the increase compared to the consolidated entity’s direct competitors. Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration Remuneration for certain individuals is directly linked to the performance of the consolidated entity. A portion of cash bonus and incentive payments are dependent on defined earnings per share targets being met. The remaining portion of the cash bonus and incentive payments are at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Refer to the section ‘Additional information’ below for details of the earnings and total shareholders return for the last five years. Voting and comments made at the company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) At the 2019 AGM, 98.7% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2019.

GENERAL INFORMATION The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards and Interpretations, the Corporations Act 2001 and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial report covers the company and controlled entities. The Company is a public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Maggie Beer Holdings Limited changed its name from Longtable Group Limited on 16 July 2020. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements of the Group and is referred to as the Group or consolidated entity. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial report. The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 27 August 2020. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the continuity of normal business activities, and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the year ended 30 June 2020, the consolidated entity has incurred losses of $14.8 million (2019: $21.7 million) and incurred net cash outflows of $2.6 million (2019: $5.0 million outflow). Since 1 January 2020, the consolidated entity has incurred losses of $0.5m and generated net cash inflows of $2.1m. As at year end, the cash position was $7.2 million (30 June 2019: $9.8 million). The Company expects its normal cash flows over the next 12 months from the date of signing to be sufficient to continue as a going concern. As detailed above and in the Operations Report, the significant changes to the structure and operations of the business in the past year have allowed the company to be resilient even in exceptionally adverse trading conditions experienced in FY20 with the summer bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic in the later part of the year. The company’s ability to generate cash flows in continued challenging economic conditions has also been stress tested with scenarios including a 10% drop in sales over the next 12 months. Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). The presentation and functional currency of the group is Australian dollars. Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 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 3 . Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 30. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Maggie Beer Holdings Limited (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Maggie Beer Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘consolidated entity’. PAG E 37 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. A controlled entity is any entity the Company has the power over, and is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement in the entity, and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 32 to the financial statements. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any recognised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies applied by the parent entity. Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, their operating results have been included/ excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. The investments in controlled entities are measured at cost in the parent entity’s financial statements. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Revenue recognition The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows: Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised to the extent that the Group satisfies its single performance obligation to transfer agreed goods and the transaction price can be readily identified. All revenue is recognised at a point when control of the goods is transferred to the customer i.e. when the goods are delivered to the customer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable being the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of discounts, trade allowances and rebates. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Income tax The charge for current income tax expense/ (benefit) is based on the profit/(loss) for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability 38 method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is recognised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the profit or loss 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 tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Each entity in the Group recognised its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax assets resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The current tax liability of each Group entity is then subsequently assumed by the parent entity. The Group entered into the tax consolidation regime from 1st June 2006 and notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated Group to apply from 1st June 2006. The tax will be paid by the parent entity as the Group has not entered into a tax funding agreement. The company is the designated parent entity for tax consolidation purposes. Leases Until the 2019 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance leases or operating leases. Until 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment where the group, as lessee, had substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership were classified as finance leases. Finance leases were capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, were included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment was allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost was charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases was depreciated over the asset’s useful life, or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were not transferred to the group as lessee were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Lease income from operating leases where the group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight- line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature. The group did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor as a result of adopting the new leasing standard. The group leases various offices, warehouses, equipment and vehicles. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1-5 years but may have extension options. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The group allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non- lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of real estate for which the group is a lessee, it has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes. PAG E 39 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date • amounts expected to be payable by the group under residual value guarantees • the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the group used recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received. The group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of- use asset. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. 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. Impairment of non-financial assets At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable 40 amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not subsequently reversed. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in income. Finance costs Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities. Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognised directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortised over the lives of the convertible notes using the effective interest method. Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. 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 is classified as part of operating cash flows. Comparative figures Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year, as well as the restatement disclosed in note 4 as a result of the finalisation of accounting for the business combinations. Rounding of amounts The company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding- off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. PAG E 41 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 42 Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Amendments to Accounting Standards that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period The entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2019. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the entity include: AASB 16 Leases The group has adopted AASB 16 Leases retrospectively from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019. The new accounting policies are disclosed above. On adoption of AASB 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 4.0% For leases previously classified as finance leases the entity recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease Properties Equipment and motor vehicles Total right-of-use assets liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application. The measurement principles of AASB 16 are only applied after that date. Operating lease commitments as at 30 June 2019 Discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of at the date of initial application Add: finance lease liabilities recognised as at 30 June 2019 Add: lease liabilities not on the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019 Of which are: Current lease liabilities Non-current lease liabilities 1 July 2019 $’000 2,680 (238) 1,632 235 4,309 1,166 3,143 4,309 The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always been applied. Other right-of use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an 30 June 2020 $’000 30 June 2019 $’000 1,698 1,647 3,345 2,415 1,864 4,279 adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application. The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the balance sheet on 1 July 2019: • right-of-use assets – increase by $4.3 million • Property, plant and equipment – decrease by $1.6 million • lease liabilities – increase by $2.7 million The net impact on retained earnings on 1 July 2019 was a decrease of $0.03 million. (i) Impact on segment disclosures and earnings per share Adjusted EBITDA, segment assets and segment liabilities for 30 June 2020 all increased as a result of the change in accounting policy. Lease liabilities are now included in segment liabilities, whereas finance lease liabilities were previously excluded from segment liabilities. The following segments were affected by the change in policy: following practical expedients permitted by the standard. • the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics • the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases • the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right- of-use asset at the date of initial application, and • the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. The group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 and Interpretation Maggie Beer Products Paris Creek Farms St David Dairy Other segment Adjusted EBITDA $’000 524 24 139 76 763 Segment Assets $’000 2,559 338 448 - Segment Liabilities $’000 2,203 390 527 482 3,345 3,602 Earnings per share decreased by 0.031 cents per share for the twelve months to 30 June 2020 as a result of the adoption of AASB 16. (ii) Practical expedients applied In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the group has used the 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. (iii) Accounting policy for 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, which may occur as a result of changes, extensions or other modifications to the lease. If the right-of-use asset is nil, any adjustment as a result of remeasurement is recorded in the statement of comprehensive income. 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. Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. PAG E 43 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. COVID-19 pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 14. 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. 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. No options to extend or terminate lease terms have been included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Business combinations As discussed in note 31, the business combinations in the last year had been accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed were initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting was retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have had an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported as detailed note 4. 44 NOTE 4. RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVES Retrospective fair value adjustments on finalisation of business combination accounting During the financial period ended 30 June 2019 the consolidated entity made a number of business acquisitions, details of which are set out in note 31. In relation to the business acquisitions, the consolidated entity originally performed a provisional assessment of the fair value of the assets and liabilities as at the date of the acquisition and for the purposes of the balance sheet as at 30 June 2019, the assets and liabilities were originally recorded at provisional fair values. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the consolidated entity had up to 12 months from the date of acquisition to complete its initial acquisition accounting. The consolidated entity has completed this exercise to consider the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions and, in accordance with Accounting Standards, has retrospectively adjusted the values of the relevant identifiable intangible assets and has transferred the differences between the provisional valuation and the finalised fair value to the respective Goodwill accounts. The adjustments to the fair values have an equal and opposite impact on the goodwill recorded on acquisition. Accordingly, such adjustments have no impact on the aggregate of the net assets or the consolidated entity’s net profit after tax. Details of the specific adjustments are set out in note 31.

CURRENT ASSETS - TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade receivables (net of loss allowance provision) Lease receivable (sub-lease) Other receivables GST receivable Consolidated 2020 $’000 2019 $’000 7,135 6,282 532 90 265 - 280 8,022 6,562 Accounting policy for trade and other receivables Trade receivables and other receivables are all classified as financial assets held at amortised cost. Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less a loss allowance provision. The carrying value of trade and other receivables, less loss allowance provisions, is considered to approximate fair value, due to the short term nature of the receivables. The collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis with a further focus in this financial year on collection risk following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individual debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off when identified. The Group recognises a loss allowance provision based upon anticipated lifetime losses of trade receivables. The anticipated losses are determined with reference to historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and forward- looking information and is regularly reviewed and updated. This includes general macroeconomic indicators such as RBA cash rate and GDP growth. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement between 30 and 60 days. The COVID-19 pandemic has not resulted in any additional receivables write-offs. Credit risks related to receivables Refer to note 23 for additional information.

Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. All stock on hand is recognised using the First In First Out (‘FIFO’) method of valuation. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

NON-CURRENT ASSETS - INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY METHOD On 19 July 2016, the Company paid $15 million to acquire 48% of the shares of Maggie Beer Products Pty Ltd (MBP), a company domiciled in Australia that manufactures and sells premium food and beverage products. On 30 June 2017, the Group reassessed the carrying amount of its investment in MBP, for indicators of impairment such as unexpected poor performance for that financial year. As a result, an internal valuation of MBP was performed to determine the Group’s share of the enterprise value. An impairment loss of $8.48 million was recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. On 30 June 2018, the Group reassessed the carrying amount of its investment in MBP, for indicators of impairment such as unexpected poor performance for this financial year. As a result, an internal valuation of MBP was performed to determine the Group’s share of the enterprise value. No impairment was noted as a result of this assessment On 16 April 2019, the Group acquired the remaining 52% of MBP that it did not already own. This resulted in control of the company, and consolidation of its balances from this date onward.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including recognised lease assets is depreciated on a straight line or diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improve-ments are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation: Land Motor vehicles n/a 5 years Plant and equipment 4 to 20 years Building and leasehold improvements 10 to 33 years The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. 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. 54 NOTE 13.

A lease receivable of $532 thousand has been recognised in relation to the sub-lease as at 30 June 2020 • Total cash outflow for leases is $1,137 thousand for the period ending 30 June 2020; • On 12 February 2020, the group extended a lease held by SDD for 5 years, which resulted in addition of $459 thousand to the lease liability and right-of-use asset for the period; • The carrying amount of right-of-use assets at the end of the reporting period by class of underlying asset is $1,861 thousand, $1,317 thousand, and $168 thousand, for land and buildings, plant and equipment, and mo-tor vehicle right-of-use assets, respectively. Accounting policy for 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.

PAG E 57 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 Note 14. Non-current assets - intangible assets (continued) Accounting policy for 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. Accounting policy for goodwill Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non- controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a bargain purchase gain. Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Intangible Assets acquired in a business combination Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately. Recoverable amount of goodwill In accordance with AASB 136, impairment testing has been undertaken for all cash generating units (CGUs) with indefinite intangibles or where there is an indication of impairment. These impairment tests have been completed via a multiple scenario approach in response to significant uncertainties in the market. At 30 June 2020, for Maggie Beer Products and St David Dairy, the recoverable amounts have been determined based on value-in-use calculations which uses cash flow projections based on financial forecasts covering a five-year period, including changes in working capital and expenditure for maintenance. Cash flows are extrapolated using estimated growth rates beyond the five-year period. 58 Key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations for the Maggie Beer Products and St David Dairy CGUs are based on a large range of data, including available independent grocery and dairy reports on the Australian market, overlaid with management’s latest forecast for financial year 2021 and incorporating previous revenue growth, achievable margin, reasonable expense increases, capital expenditure for maintenance and entity specific long-term averages for the latter years. In considering the outlook for Maggie Beer Products and St David Dairy, and the specific impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, management considered a range of possible scenarios and have applied a probability weighting to each of these in order to determine an estimation of future cash flows which has a reasonable and appropriate basis. Maggie Beer Products Base Scenario Revenue growth Revenue growth over the five-year period is based upon forecasted revenue on a business-as-usual basis and assumes no New Products Development (‘NPD’) or new geographies (in accordance with AASB 136). The starting point is an assessment of the market, leveraging industry reports and overlaying with known sales growth opportunities e.g. extra sales growth from 5 new cheese lines launched in Woolworths in Q4 FY20, the continued growth in cheese and cooking stocks, the recent increase in fruit paste sales in Aldi and growth in independent retail market and from its e-commerce business which had substantial growth in H2 FY20 as the business increased its online presence and implemented its new digital marketing plan. Industry reports indicate there was significant growth in online sales pre COVID-19, which is only expected to increase as buyer behaviours have changed during COVID-19. The average revenue growth over the forecast period is assumed at 5.8% per annum (compared with an average of 5.1% per annum for the 4 years from FY17 to FY20). Costs Gross margin in FY21 is expecting to soften slightly from its FY20 levels, due to the increase in 3rd party produced cheese and cooking stocks revenue as a percentage of total sales, and is then assumed to remain flat for the remainder of the model’s period with the sales mix including increased higher margin from e-commerce sales. Raw material price increases are minimal and are to be matched by price increases with retailers to offset, as was evidenced in the current year. All fixed costs, including selling, administration and management labour, are modelled to grow at 2.0% a year, in line with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s inflation target range of 2–3 per cent, on average, over time. Long-term growth rate The long-term growth rate is the weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the modelled period. A long-term growth rate of 2.0% has been used in the value-in-use calculations, which is on the lower end of the long-term Reserve Bank of Australia’s inflation target range of 2–3 per cent, on average, over time. Discount rate The discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks relating to the relevant CGU. In performing the value-in-use calculations for the CGU, the Group has applied a pre-tax discount rate of 12.53% per annum (8.77% post tax) for Maggie Beer Products. The discount rate includes a COVID-19 pandemic risk premium of 0.75% to allow for the overall uncertainty in the wider economy even though the Consumer Staples sector has generally experienced limited downside (or even positive) impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and there is less uncertainty around future earnings expectations. Also included in the discount rate is a specific company risk rate of 2.00% to recognise the abnormally low risk-free rate of 0.92% at 30 June 2020. In addition to the base scenario detailed above, management has included 2 other scenarios likely PAG E 59 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 Note 14. Non-current assets - intangible assets (continued) to materially impact the carrying value of the CGU. The first scenario is sales in each year from FY21 to FY25 being 10% lower than forecast. The second is raw material prices increasing an extra 4.0pt on average over the period FY21 to FY25 compared to CPI (2.0%).

St David Dairy Base scenario Revenue growth Revenue growth over the five-year period is based upon forecasted revenue on a business-as-usual basis and assumes no New Products Development (‘NPD’) or new geographies (in accordance with AASB 136). The starting point is an assessment of the market, leveraging dairy industry reports and overlaying with known sales growth opportunities e.g. increased sales in speciality retail stores, plant- based milk products. The FY21 forecast as approved by the Board assumes a gradual recovery in the first half of the year with an acceleration in the second half of FY21 to reach annual sales growth equivalent to that of FY20 at 13.2%. The average revenue growth over the remaining forecast period is modelled at 11.1% per annum, half the 22.6% per annum (Compounded Annual Growth Rate CAGR) sales growth achieved in the 4 years from FY17 to FY20, and is underpinned by: • industry reports expect milk sales (volume and price) to increase 5% to 7% year on year from FY21 to FY25, • further capturing market share of cafes and restaurants in Melbourne initially (only currently selling to 5% of cafes and restaurants in inner Melbourne) and continuing to expand into other States of Australia. Currently sales outside of Victoria represent 8% of the business, • increased demand for plant-based milk which currently accounts for 7% of all milk consumption in Australia and is expected to grow at a double digit CAGR in the period FY20 to FY25, • continued expansion into premium and specialty grocers where “buy fresh, buy local” continues to gain momentum. Costs Industry reports indicate milk and cream prices will decrease in FY21, relative to FY20, and are expected to remain below the levels experienced in the current year. Costs have assumed a stabilised milk and cream prices with no price increase expected in FY21 and any future increases matched by price increases, improved delivery costs with more efficient and more reliable trucks purchased in FY20, along with a now stable and experienced management team. Long-term growth rate 60 The long-term growth rate is the weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the modelled period. A long-term growth rate of 2.0% has been used in the value-in-use calculations, which is on the lower end of the long-term Reserve Bank of Australia’s inflation target range of 2–3 per cent, on average, over time. Discount rate The discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks relating to the relevant CGU. In performing the value-in-use calculations for the CGU, the Group has applied a pre-tax discount rate of 13.25% per annum (9.28% post tax) for St David Dairy. The discount rate includes a COVID-19 pandemic risk premium of 0.75% to allow for the overall uncertainty in the wider economy even though the Consumer Staples sector has generally experienced limited downside impacts from COVID-19 pandemic and there is less uncertainty around future earnings expectations. Also included in the discount rate is a specific company risk rate of 2.00% to recognise the abnormally low risk-free rate of 0.92% at 30 June 2020. In addition to the base scenario detailed above, management has included 3 other scenarios, which if they occurred, would be likely to materially impact the carrying value of the CGU. The first scenario is sales in each year from FY21 to FY25 being 10% lower than forecast. The second is milk prices to be 2% higher per year from FY21 to FY25 with no ability to pass onto consumers. The third is delivery cost savings are 1% lower per year from FY21 to FY25. Review outcome In completing the impairment review based on the scenarios and their assumptions and the weights above, the value in use of the St David Dairy business exceeds its carrying value of goodwill by $1.7 million. Brand Brand acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life range of 5-20 years.

The convertible note was issued to Beer Family Holdings, a related entity of Maggie Beer, a Non- Executive Director of the Company. The fair value of the convertible note has been deemed to be the principal amount of the note payable. On conversion date, the Group has funded $100,000 of the redemption amount out of the Group’s cash reserves, with the balance of $400,000 as loan funds advanced by the Note Holder to the Group. The Group and the Note Holder have entered into a loan agreement for the $400,000 loan, which is unsecured and classified as a non-current liability. The $400,00 loan along with accrued interest have been repaid on 20 August 2020. The chattel mortgage loan above represents the current portion of the chattel mortgage used to finance the acquisition of St David Dairy’s new truck fleet during the year. The mortgage is secured over the truck fleet and is repaid over a term of 5 years at an interest rate of 5.99%. 62 In addition to the above, NAB provides an invoice finance facility to a subsidiary of the Group, Maggie Beer Products Pty Ltd which is available for $3.0 million. The facility is secured over receivables of Maggie Beer Products, and is subject to the subsidiary complying with its obligations (including financial covenants) under the facility. At 30 June 2020, the aggregate amount outstanding under the facilities was $nil and the subsidiary was in compliance with its obligations under those facilities. NOTE 17. CURRENT LIABILITIES - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Employee benefits Accounting policy for employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Consolidated 2020 $’000 2019 $’000 970 1,346 Liabilities for annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to bal-ance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

The chattel mortgage is secured over the St David Dairy newly acquired fleet of delivery trucks. The lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assets, recognised in the statement of financial position, revert to the lessor in the event of default. NOTE 19.

Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 64 NOTE 20.

However under AASB 3 - Business Combina-tion, the fair value of $2.70 million is calculated using $0.63 (63 cents) per share, being the closing share price on the date of shareholder approval (1 August 2018). This resulted in a decrease in the accounting value amounting by $0.30 million. Ordinary shares Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote. Share buy-back is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, retained earnings and reserves. Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand the Group’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of payables and tax. The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2019 Annual Report. No shares were bought back during the year ended 30 June 2020 (2019: NIL). Accounting policy for issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Capital risk management Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt 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.

EQUITY - RESERVES Options reserve Options reserve Consolidated 2020 $’000 2019 $’000 1,634 1,721 Options reserve arises on the grant of share options to Directors and employees of the Group and Maggie Beer Products under the Group incentive option scheme. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and into issued capi-tal when the options are exercised. The company operates an ownership-based remuneration scheme through the Incentive Option Scheme, details of which are provided in note 36 to the financial statements. Other than minimal administration costs, which are ex-pensed when incurred, the plan does not result in any cash outflow from the Company. The fair value of equity-settled share-based payments is measured by use of the Black-Scholes and Binomial model. The expected life used in the models have been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve. 66 Movements in reserves Movements in each class of reserve during the current and previous financial year are set out below: Consolidated Balance at 1 July 2018 Share based payment Balance at 30 June 2019 Share based payment* Balance at 30 June 2020 Option reserve $’000 1,594 127 Total $’000 1,594 127 1,721 1,721 (87) (87) 1,634 1,634 * The decrease in the share-based payment reserve during the financial period has resulted from the expiry and forfeiture of options and performance rights previously expensed, partially offset by expense over unvested per-formance rights.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial risk management objectives The capital structure of the consolidated entity consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, retained earnings and reserves. Operating cash flows are used to maintain and expand the Group’s assets, as well as to make the routine outflows of payables and tax. The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits. These activities expose the consolidated entity to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity does not have formal documented policies and procedures for the management of risk asso- ciated with financial instruments. However, the Board has responsibility for managing the different types of risks to which the consolidated entity is exposed. These responsibilities include considering risk and monitoring levels of ex-posure to interest rate risk, and by being aware of market forecasts for interest rate, and commodity prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is monitored through general business budgets and forecasts. Market risk Price risk The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s cash and short-term deposits held. Sensitivity Analysis The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the statement of financial position date. At 30 June, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax-loss and equity would have been affected as follows: Basis points increase Basis points decrease Basis points change Effect on profit before tax $’000 Effect on equity $’000 Basis points change Effect on profit before tax $’000 Effect on equity $’000 100 72 72 (50) (36) (36 Basis points increase Basis points decrease Basis points change Effect on profit before tax $’000 Effect on equity $’000 Basis points change Effect on profit before tax $’000 Effect on equity $’000 100 98 98 (50) (49) (49) Consolidated - 2020 Bank deposits Consolidated - 2019 Bank deposits 68 Credit risk The consolidated entity has adopted a lifetime expected loss allowance in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables through the use of a provisions matrix using fixed rates of credit loss provisioning. These provisions are considered representative across all customers of the consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. This includes general macroeconomic indicators such as RBA cash rate and GDP growth. Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this in-clude the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make con-tractual payments for a period greater than 1 year. The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recog-nised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any allowance for impairment losses, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial report. The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. It is the Group’s policy to consider the credit worthiness of all customers who wish to trade on credit terms. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk. Allowance for expected credit losses The loss allowance as at 30 June 2019 was determined as follows for trade receivables: Not past due Past due 0 - 60 days Past due 60+ days Loss allowance provision 2020 $’000 Loss allowance provision 2019 $’000 - - 142 142 37 100 144 281 Gross amount 2020 $’000 5,108 1,796 373 2019 $’000 3,754 2,611 198 7,277 6,563 Liquidity risk The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flow and maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with their carrying amounts in the statement of financial position, for the consolidated entity are as follows: Consolidated Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Liabilities Trade and other payables Convertible note Chattel mortgage Lease liability Related party loans 2020 2019 Carrying amount $’000 Fair value $’000 Carrying amount $’000 Fair value $’000 7,245 8,022 9,819 6,562 9,819 6,562 15,267 16,381 16,381 6,893 - 516 3,602 1,303 6,848 500 - 1,483 1,008 9,839 6,848 500 - 1,483 1,008 9,839 12,314 12,314 7,245 8,022 15,267 6,893 - 516 3,602 1,303 NOTE 24. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT Accounting policy for 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.

NOTE 31. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS St David Dairy Pty Ltd Effective 1 August 2018, the consolidated entity acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of St David Dairy Pty Ltd (“St David Dairy”) for a total consideration of $14.95 million. St David Dairy is a premium inner-city dairy product processing and distribution business located at Fitzroy in Melbourne. 76 At the date of finalisation of the annual year report, the consolidated entity has finalised its analysis on whether all identifiable intangible assets have been recognised and vendor warranties and representations met. Accordingly, the initial accounting for the acquisition of St David Dairy has been definitively determined at the end of the reporting pe-riod. For tax purposes, the tax values of St David Dairy’s assets are required to be reset based on market values of the assets when admitted into the tax consolidated group. The acquired business contributed revenues of $6.65 million and a profit after tax of $0.64 million to the consolidated entity for the period ending 30 June 2019. The trade and other receivables on date of acquisition is equivalent to the gross contractual receivables acquired less expected credit loss. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Following completion of acquisition accounting the following purchase price adjustments were made: • an increase of other current assets acquired by $388,000; • recognition and increase of liabilities by $1,104,000 in relation to deferred tax liabilities on intangibles acquired; • as a result of the adjustments above, a net increase in the amount allocated to goodwill of $716,000. The fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired are detailed below: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Other current assets Inventories Plant and equipment Motor vehicles Brand Customer contracts Trade and other payables Other current liabilities Deferred tax liability Net assets acquired Goodwill Acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred Representing: Cash paid or payable to vendor MBH shares issued to vendor Value of MBH share issued at $0.63 (63 cents) per share* Fair value $’000 169 423 407 53 438 245 2,163 1,515 (436) (725) (1,104) 3,148 11,802 14,950 12,250 2,700 14,950 * The Company issued shares to vendors on completion of the acquisition of St David Dairy at a deemed issue price of $0.70 (70 cents) per share, with a total contract value of $3.00 million. However under AASB 3 - Business Combi-nation, the fair value of $2.70 million is calculated using $0.63 (63 cents) per share, being the closing share price on the date of shareholder approval (1 August 2018). This resulted in a decrease in the accounting value amounting by $0.30 million. PAG E 77 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 Note 31.Business combinations (Continued) The fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired are detailed below: i. Consideration transferred The fair value of the ordinary shares issued to vendor was $0.63 (63 cents) per ordinary share, being the closing share price on 1 August 2018 (date of shareholder approval). The shares have been escrowed, with fifty percent of the shares escrowed for 12 months from the date of issue and the remaining fifty percent of the shares escrowed for 24 months from the date of issue. ii. Acquisition related costs Acquisition-related costs amounting to $0.02 million are not included as part of consideration for the acquisition and have been recognised as transaction costs for the period ended 30 June 2019. Maggie Beer Products Pty Ltd (“MBP”) On 16 April 2019, the Group acquired the 52% of shares in MBP that it did not already own, for a mix of cash, shares and a convertible note. This increased its existing ownership from 48% to 100%, and resulted in the Group gaining control of MBP. At the date of finalisation of the annual year report, the consolidated entity has finalised its analysis on whether all identifiable intangible assets have been recognised and vendor warranties and representations met. Accordingly, the initial accounting for the acquisition of Maggie Beer Products Pty Ltd has been definitively determined at the end of the reporting period. For tax purposes, the tax values of MBP’s assets are required to be reset based on market val-ues of the assets when admitted into the tax consolidated group. The acquired business contributed revenue of $4.26 million and a net loss after tax of $0.05 million to the Group for the period since acquisition to 30 June 2019. The trade and other receivables on date of acquisition is equivalent to the gross contractual receivables acquired less expected credit loss. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Following completion of acquisition accounting the following purchase price adjustments were made: • an increase in the amount allocated to the brand intangible asset of $188,000; • recognition and increase of the amount allocated to the customer contract intangible asset acquired of $1,560,000; • an increase in the deferred tax liability in relation to the changes in the acquired intangible assets of $1,400,000; • as a result of the adjustments above, a net decrease in the amount allocated to goodwill of $348,000. 78 Note 31.Business combinations (Continued) The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired are detailed below.

PAG E 79 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2020 Note 31.Business combinations (Continued) Accounting policy for business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity in-struments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instru-ments 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 as-sumed 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 acquisi-tion-date. Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subse-quent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. 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 in-vestment 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 differ-ence is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reas-sessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the ac-quiree, 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 provi-sional 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 measure-ment period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer re-ceives all the information possible to determine fair value. 80 NOTE 32.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD On 16 July 2020, the Company held a General Meeting of shareholders where the following resolutions were approved by the shareholders: • Change of name to Maggie Beer Holdings Limited In accordance with the Boards strategy to refresh and enhance the Company’s brand, the name of the company was changed from Longtable Group Limited to Maggie Beer Holdings Limited. The Board believes that changing the name of the Company to Maggie Beer Holdings Limited better reflects the Company’s core focus, whilst the Maggie Beer brand provides a premium halo for the Company’s diverse product portfolio. Maggie Beer Holdings will be instantly recognised by shareholders, employees, customers and consumers of the Company’s products. The Board hopes that the proposed new name will help to facilitate an improved understanding of the Company’s businesses and our potential for growth. • Non-executive directors’ fees taken in shares The Director Fees Plan was established to allow the Company’s directors to elect, from time to time, to be paid their remuneration through the issue of Shares in the Company, rather than as a cash payment. The Board believes the Director Fees Plan will form an important part of the remuneration for the Company’s non-executive Directors that elect to participate in the Director Fees Plan, aligning their interests with those of Shareholders by linking their remuneration to the long term success of the Company and its financial performance. • Chairman’s options 4,500,000 Options were issued to the Chairman, Reg Weine, under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan. • Related party loan The $400,000 related party loan (refer to note 16. Current liabilities - other current financial liabilities) along with accrued interest have been repaid on 20 August 2020. No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Materiality Audit scope ● For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group ● Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. ● Maggie Beer Holdings Limited operates across three operating segments with its head office functions based in South Australia, Australia. materiality of $445,000, which represents approximately 1% of the Group’s total revenues. ● We applied this threshold, together with qualitative considerations, to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial report as a whole. ● We chose Group total revenues because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured. ● We utilised a 1% threshold based on our professional judgement, noting it is within the range of commonly acceptable thresholds. 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 for the current period. The key audit 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. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit and Risk Committee. 88 Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Impairment assessment of the St David Dairy Cash Generating Unit (CGU) (Refer to note 14) We performed the following procedures, amongst others, on the impairment assessment of SDD cash generating unit (CGU): The Group acquired St David Dairy (“SDD”) in August 2018 and recognised goodwill of $11.8 million, intangible assets of $3.7 million and other net liabilities of $0.5 million. The Group performed an impairment assessment of the SDD assets using a value-in-use discounted cash flow model and determined that no impairment is required. In order to assess the recoverability of these assets, the Group prepared a financial model to determine if the carrying values were supported by forecast future cash flows, discounted to present value (the "model"). We considered this to be a key audit matter because of the financial significance of goodwill and other intangibles recognised in the statement of financial position and the level of judgement involved by the Group in determining the assumptions used to perform impairment testing. ● ● ● assessed whether the SDD CGU included assets, liabilities and cash flows directly attributable to the CGU and a reasonable allocation of corporate assets and overheads considered whether the model was consistent with the basis required by Australian Accounting Standards tested that forecast cash flows used in the model were consistent with the most up-to- date budget formally approved by the Board ● with the assistance of PwC valuation experts, assessed whether the discount rate used in the model were reasonable by comparing them to market data, comparable companies and industry research ● ● ● ● compared the terminal growth rate used in the model to historical growth rates achieved and external economic forecasts tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations in the model evaluated the Group's ability to forecast future cash flows by comparing historical budgets with reported actual results evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 14, including those regarding the key assumptions and sensitivities to changes in such assumptions, in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. Accounting for business combinations (Refer to note 4 and note 31) The Group acquired two businesses in the financial year ended 30 June 2019 and were presented on a provisional basis: Our procedures in relation to the accounting for the business combinations included amongst others: PAG E 89 MAGGIE BEER HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | ● 100% of St David Dairy Pty Ltd on 1 August 2018 ● The remaining 52% of Maggie Beer Products Pty Ltd (“MBP”) on 16 April 2019. In the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group made fair value adjustments when finalising the accounting for business combinations. The impact of these adjustments is presented in note 4 where comparatives have been restated to reflect the acquisition as if it had been finalised at 30 June 2019. We determined that this is a key audit matter due to the materiality of the transactions, the judgement involved in calculating the fair value of the net assets acquired and resultant goodwill arising on the acquisitions. Other information ● ● ● assessed the final valuation of identifiable intangible assets and fair value of other assets acquired tested the mathematical accuracy of the Group’s calculation of the resulting goodwill arising on acquisition assessed the accuracy and completeness of business combination disclosures in the financial statements, in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 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. 90 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
