Annual Report 2020 Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Brave together 1 We are moving forward into another exciting era for Monash IVF Group. As the world becomes richer with diversity and society’s needs change, it is important that Monash IVF Group continues to progress. This includes evolving the way we lead and the way we look. Leading the future of reproductive care There is still a lack of information about reproductive health, and taboos about infertility, miscarriage and the role of the male factor infertility. We want to help change the way society thinks about and takes care of their fertility. We will use the knowledge and experience we have gained over the last 40+ years, and the expertise of our people and doctors to drive early awareness, promote conversation about fertility, lead the advancement of reproductive science and offer early, proactive fertility health services. We have so much more to offer than just IVF. We can educate and empower patients so they can proactively manage their reproductive health and increase their chances of achieving a family. Our new brand identity reflects the empathetic, warm and nurturing patient experience we provide to patients each and every day.

I would like to highlight five key themes which have been evident at Monash IVF Group during this time. Leading through resilience Monash IVF Group has managed an unprecedented number of operational and financial challenges resulting from COVID-19. Agility and resilience were critical as we adapted our operating model in response to the temporary elective surgery suspension, the introduction of safety and protective measures, border restrictions and the significant changes to state based health policies across Australia and Malaysia. During this time, the Board and management team worked closely to ensure our people, doctors and patients were at the centre of our decisions and operational changes. I am proud of the commitment of our people and the high level of care, empathy and support they provided in what was an unsettling time for patients. Patient and community focus As a leader in the community, we were aware that our contribution needed to extend beyond the operations of Monash IVF Group. We were considered in how we balanced the needs of our patients with the needs of the greater healthcare system in our decision making. I am proud of the commitment of our people and the high level of care, empathy and support they provided in what was an unsettling time for patients. As day-to-day business processes were adapted for the new normal, we also collaborated with our patients to co-design and improve the patient experience. This included addressing key pain points for our patients, digitising parts of the patient journey and improving patient communications. Innovation despite adversity We progressed a number of significant growth initiatives during the year. These included construction of our new flagship Sydney CBD fertility clinic which is due to open later this year, and our second international investment with the acquisition of KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital Fertility Business in Malaysia. We demonstrated our agility and willingness to respond to new ways of working and living through the shift to telehealth, remote working in some parts of our business, digital engagement with our patients and people, and the myriad of operational changes which were implemented to ensure the ongoing safety of our people, patients and doctors. Our future growth and succession plans were significantly strengthened during the year with 12 specialists participating in our fertility traineeship program, and eight new contracted fertility specialists joining Monash IVF Group. Brave togetherThrough close collaboration with our fertility specialists and people, we have seen our business emerge from COVID-19 financially stronger, more resilient and with strong growth momentum. Strength in recovery Our management team has done an impressive job in navigating the myriad of challenges and leading us through to a strong recovery. Through close collaboration with our fertility specialists and people, we have seen our business emerge financially stronger, more resilient and with strong growth momentum. Our Adjusted Profit After Tax for certain non-regular items was $14.4m with revenues of $145.4m. There was a $3.9m adverse NPAT impact during March to June 2020 compared to the prior comparison period due predominately to the COVID-19 temporary shutdown, which includes $4.9m (pre-tax) JobKeeper subsidies to maintain our workforce during hibernation and recovery periods. The dividend for the first half of FY20 has been deferred to 2 October 2020. Importantly, following the recommencement of IVF services in Australia, our full service stimulated cycles increased by 33.6% from June to July 2020 compared to last year. Our Malaysian business has recovered well following easing of the Movement Control Orders on 9 June, which resulted in 23.5% stimulated cycle growth in June to July 2020 with July up 72% compared to the prior comparison period. This minimised the adverse impact on our volumes and is reassuring as we head into FY21. A number of initiatives were implemented to assist in mitigating the financial impact of COVID-19 during the period from March to June 2020, including an $80m equity raising to reduce debt, strengthening our balance sheet, pursuing further growth opportunities in South East Asia and investment in our domestic infrastructure. 5 Evolution and growth The next 12 months are now focused on continued investment, evolution and growth. We will continue to evolve and deliver new services and technologies that meet society’s changing needs including earlier and preventative reproductive health, and continued enhancement of the patient experience through digitisation. We have also updated our brand identity to reflect our best in class positioning and the empathetic, warm and nurturing patient experience we provide to our patients each and every day. In conclusion, we are excited about the year ahead and look forward to continuing to deliver the best possible reproductive care for our patients and strong results for our shareholders. Thanks and appreciation On behalf of the Board and Management I wish to extend thanks to Christy Boyce for her contribution to the Monash IVF Group Board. Christy tended her resignation from the Board on 29th June 2020. Christy was a foundation director and held the position of Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee for the past six years. We thank Christy for her service to Monash IVF Group and wish her well for the future. Following the resignation of Christy, we are delighted to welcome Catherine West to the Board of Directors. Catherine was appointed on 8 September 2020 as an Independent Non-executive Director. We are thrilled to have the skill and expertise of Catherine on the Board and look forward to working with her. In closing, the Board wishes to thank our investor shareholders for their commitment to Monash IVF Group. Thanks must also be extended to Michael Knaap our CEO and his experienced management team, together with our doctors, nurses, scientists and support staff for their commitment and leadership during what has been a challenging 2020. Mr Richard Davis Independent Chairman Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Managing Director & CEO’s Report FY20 has been a year that we will all remember for its challenges and the way we have overcome them. I am proud of Monash IVF Group for our commitment during this time. We have demonstrated strength by continuing to live by our principles and deliver a safe environment for our people, doctors and patients. FY20 performance Our experienced and capable team of 121 doctors and over 550 scientific, nursing and support team members showed exceptional resilience, agility and courage in FY20. This aided in reconfirming our best in class position as a leader in reproductive health care. Although our FY20 results were adversely impacted by a temporary suspension of elective surgery, our recovery was strong and swift. Our stimulated cycles were up by 33.6% in the June to July 2020 period versus the previous corresponding period. In our key markets, stimulated cycle market share was relatively stable at 20.4%. Our market share improved by 0.8% compared to the six-month period to December 2019, reflecting positive operational momentum and a successful recovery after the COVID-19 suspension. Our Kuala Lumpur clinic is on the path to recovery after a sustained period of Movement-Control Orders in Malaysia, having demonstrated 72% stimulated-cycle growth in the month of July versus the previous corresponding period. Our Ultrasound business operated throughout COVID-19 with a significant focus on effective infection control and social-distancing measures, providing a safe environment. We demonstrated scan growth during the June-July period of 9.5%, with total scans for FY21 across the Group increasing by 1.8%. In light of a moderate decline in the March to June period, this was a good result. Collaborating through COVID-19 Thank you to our clinician group for their exceptional contributions during COVID-19. They supported the safe clinical protocols, minimal disruption in services and the recovery phase. Our future foundations continue to be strong as we welcome and support our new clinicians to the Monash IVF Group network. We’re looking forward to collaborating with our doctors – new and existing – to develop and grow their business. This is particularly exciting with our increased focus on patient and doctor engagement through digital pathways, such as webinars, Facebook and telehealth services. People engagement remains a key priority. Our people continue to be celebrated for their exceptional work, passion and pride in Monash IVF Group and our principles. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, our team remained supportive and responsive to provide our community with a safe environment. Safety protocols – including hygiene and infection control measures, social distancing and remote and virtual working – ensured we could continue supporting our patients. We also continue to build specialised capabilities and knowledge through our dedicated learning and development framework and platforms. Progress of our strategic roadmap Despite the challenges of COVID-19, we were able to continue the momentum of our strategic plan and break new ground, with improvements in science, patient care and services. Increased marketing activities are driving growth in the patient pipeline. Our patient engagement activities during the shutdown period have driven a strong recovery of pent-up demand. We were excited to launch a new ‘Brave Together’ advertising campaign to illustrate our progressive, empathetic and empowering approach to patient care. Brave togetherWe are investing in expanding our clinic and consulting network, while enhancing our value proposition to patients and specialists. Our new Sydney CBD flagship clinic is on track to open during the second quarter of this financial year and will represent best-practice patient experience. This clinic is a key initiative to attract new fertility specialists into the Monash IVF family. The strategic priority of clinic infrastructure has continued to be a focus in FY20 with a particular focus on transformation of our Melbourne footprint, a new full-service clinic in Penrith, which commenced in October and a refurbishment completed in our Dulwich, South Australia clinic. In a positive milestone for our international expansion, we acquired a majority stake of a boutique IVF operation in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, increasing our footprint in the South East Asian region. Domestically, we celebrated the acquisition of Fertility Solutions and taking a majority share in the Tasmania clinic. Both our international and local acquisitions and growth are supported by our unrelenting focus on building scientific capability to give our patients the best possible outcomes. We have demonstrated improvement in our success rates in FY20. In addition, we continue to partner with innovative organisations to advance new technologies, such as a safer and softer method of ICSI that is demonstrating improved fertility rates and therefore creating more embryos for our patients. 7 Our future foundations continue to be strong as we welcome and support our new clinicians to the Monash IVF Group Network. Looking ahead Our strategic roadmap, Vision 2022, will continue to guide our priorities, actions and decisions to achieve success and deliver profitable growth in the oncoming years. Our capital metrics following the equity raise allowed us to navigate the uncertainty of COVID-19 and will allow us to maintain momentum on strategic growth initiatives to achieve our Vision 2022. As a business, we will continue to be agile to provide a safe environment for our people, doctors and patients. Thank you to our people for supporting our community in this uniquely challenging and uncertain environment. Together we will continue to embrace new ways of working to be the leaders in reproductive care. Michael Knaap Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director Our strategic roadmap, Vision 2022, will continue to guide our priorities, actions and decisions to achieve success and deliver profitable growth in the oncoming years. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Financial Overview Operating performance impacted by COVID-19 disruption and departure of specialists in Victoria Revenue $145.4m FY19 $152.0m ( 4.3%) Adjusted EBIT 1,3,5 $24.4m FY19 $32.7m (25.3%) Adjusted EBITDA1,2,3,4,5 $34.8m Adjusted NPAT 1,3,4,5 $14.4m FY19 $37.8m (8.0%) FY19 $20.9m( 31.2%) Reported EBITDA2,3 $32.8m Reported NPAT 1,3,4 $11.7m FY19 $37.2m (11.8%) FY19 $19.9m ( 40.9%) Note: Financial metrics include impact from COVID-19 and AASB16 Leases. 1.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had an overwhelming impact on our global community and has created challenges and presented unchartered waters that will continue into the short and medium term. The $80m equity raising completed in May 2020 and the sharp recovery following the re-opening of elective surgery in Australia, has placed the Group in a strong position to pursue its strategic growth plan and any implications the next chapter of the Pandemic may present. The impact from the shutdown of elective surgery during parts of Q4 and the departure of five Victorian fertility specialists in Q1 had an impact on profitability resulting in an Adjusted Net Profit After Tax decline of 31.2% to $14.4m. Our full year revenue declined by $6.6m or 4.3% to $145.4m. The domestic IVF businesses experienced a $5.7m revenue decline in the period March to June 2020 which included an approximate 530 stimulated cycle decline (compared to previous corresponding period (pcp)) during the COVID-19 shutdown period from early April to mid-May, followed by a strong recovery whereby stimulated cycles increased by 34% in the period from mid-May to 30 June. The strong recovery has continued into FY21 with stimulated cycles increasing by 32% in July compared to previous corresponding period (pcp). The Kuala Lumpur clinic was also impacted due to Movement Control Orders (MCO) in Malaysia resulting in a $1.7m or 14.5% revenue decline as stimulated cycles reduced by 58% in the period from March to June compared to pcp. Following the easing of the MCO, stimulated cycles have increased by 72% in July 2020 compared to pcp. Full year adjusted EBITDA (excluding the impact from AASB16) declined by $10.1m to $27.7m. The revenue decline in the period from March to June had a substantial impact on earnings. Prior to March, earnings growth was experienced in South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, whilst Victoria declined due to the departure of five fertility specialists. There has been a $1.1m increase in Marketing investment particularly during Q4FY20, which has created a strong patient pipeline going into FY21. Net debt has reduced to $4.2m following the equity raising resulting in a stronger balance sheet to navigate through the pandemic and pursue organic and non-organic growth opportunities. Given lower debt, the Syndicated Debt Facility size has been reduced from $110m to $40m. Whilst the size of the facility has been reduced, the Group continues to have access to the $40m Accordion Facility for acquisitions and growth capital expenditure. Bank covenants have been waived to 30 June 2021 but importantly, the Net Leverage Ratio is 0.15x and well below the 3.5x covenant requirement. Operating cash flow generation was strong in FY20 with conversion of EBITDA to pre-tax operating cash flows solid at 108%. The second half was particularly strong following a 78% conversion rate in the first half reflecting several cash management initiatives implemented during the uncertain operating environment since March. Cash management initiatives included deferring the 1H20 interim dividend which was paid on 2 October 2020 and no final FY20 dividend was declared. In closing, I would like to thank all our staff including the Board and the Executive Team for the response to the Pandemic which has placed Monash IVF Group in a strong position to grow in FY21 and beyond. Malik Jainudeen Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary Monash IVF Group Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Patient Experience Creating a better patient experience We are proud of the passion and commitment our people continue to demonstrate to our patients. Despite the operational challenges presented by COVID-19, we ensured that the patient experience continued to be caring and empathetic. Net Promoter Score (NPS) remains the key measure of patient satisfaction across the Group. Our Group NPS ended the year strongly at 58.5%.This increase on last year, despite the operational impact of COVID-19, is a success for our Group. We are pleased to see that the number of patients who have had a positive experience and would recommend our services is continuing to grow. We continue to use the insights gained through our Net Promoter Score measurement program to identify service improvements. We made significant inroads during the year to progress our patient focus and experience. • An online booking system was introduced for our Sydney Ultrasound business increasing convenience for our patients. • Digitisation of the pre-treatment and day surgery admission processes was undertaken through the trial of a mobile platform in our South Australian clinic. • A patient experience vision was developed to support delivery of a consistent, best in class patient experience across our States and clinics. • The financial elements of the patient experience were reviewed to improve patient convenience, empathy and care. Our Group NPS ended the year strongly at 58.5% Brave together11 Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Scientific Leadership Monash IVF Group is dedicated to providing world-class science and research, which facilitates the delivery of market leading success rates for our patients. This commitment is led by the Group Scientific Advisory Committee (GSAC) comprising of the Group Scientific Directors. In FY20 pregnancy rates continued to improve across the country due to the end-to-end laboratory reviews. This was coupled with further alignment of laboratory protocols across Monash IVF Group in conjunction with scientific learning modules and knowledge assessments for the entire scientific workforce. Innovation and state of the art diagnostics continued to be a strong focus of FY20 with the following achievements attained: • Construction and accreditation of an IVF pathology laboratory for Monash IVF Victoria (endocrine and andrology) with a state of the art sperm vapour storage capability. • A major upgrade of the pathology laboratory in NSW including a state of the art blood analysis platform. • Further roll-out of automated semen analysis across the country. • Launch of NIPT version 2.0 (NEST+) for use in early pregnancy. With the impending launch of government facilitated success rates, the GSAC in conjunction with the Monash IVF Group Board has formalised a new way of success rate reporting to facilitate comparative benchmarking. The compiled data demonstrates steady improvements in success rates ensuring the delivery of the best possible outcomes for our patients. Brave together13 Our foundation for the future is strong, with 12 doctors currently in our fertility specialist traineeship programs across Australia, providing us with a strong pipeline for growth and succession planning. This includes two new Victorian fertility specialists who will be ready for patient management in quarter one, FY21. Our doctors continue to play an important role in our business, particularly as we look ahead to the delivery of major projects and new technologies, such as a new fertilisation technique utilising Piezo ICSI. As we look ahead, our priority is to continue to attract like-minded experienced fertility specialists to partner with us in all our geographies, and continue to grow our doctor network in the full service IVF market domestically and abroad in South East Asia. Doctor Partnerships We have continued to develop mutually beneficial and long term partnerships with our doctors. Through these strong partnerships, we together strive to achieve the best outcomes for our patients. The strength of these partnerships was proven as we worked closely with our state Medical Directors and their clinical teams to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Together with our Medical Directors, we implemented safe clinical protocols to protect our staff and patients whilst causing minimal disruption in services. In collaboration with Monash Research Education Fund (MREF), we celebrated working together at the annual clinic education weekend, held in November 2019. The event was a great success and will continue in 2021. Our doctor group continues to grow in size, reflecting that Monash IVF Group is a destination of choice for developing and experienced fertility specialists. In FY20 we welcomed 8 new doctors to the Monash IVF Group network, bringing our total number of doctors to 121. Importantly, most of our doctors are now contracted to Monash IVF Group. This includes all of our Victorian fertility specialists, bringing our total proportion of contracted doctors across the group to over 97 per cent. 121Monash IVF Group doctors Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Clinical Infrastructure Monash IVF Group has invested in our clinical infrastructure as part of our commitment to deliver the best services and experience for our patients. Plans for further clinical infrastructure works are underway to ensure our facilities continue to reflect the best in class treatment and patient journey that we provide. Future areas of focus include the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Victoria. Key works were undertaken at Monash IVF Gold Coast and Repromed (Dulwich) to redesign and re-purpose clinic treatment areas to improve the patient experience. We opened Monash IVF Penrith to give patients in Greater Western Sydney access to IVF services. The region is one of the fastest growing areas in Australia and Monash IVF are proud to be the first full service clinic in Penrith. The opening of our flagship site at 207 Kent Street, Sydney CBD remains a considerable focus into the next financial year. With an onsite day surgery, the location offers a fully integrated facility experience for patients.

In FY20, our marketing strategy was updated to enable us to unlock additional value and drive incremental growth. We identified four key drivers that will increase brand equity, market share and growth in our patient pipeline. These are brand differentiation, patient lifecycle engagement, patient value proposition and marketing effectiveness. Strengthening our brand differentiation This year we launched a new brand strategy and identity for Monash IVF Group. This new strategy acknowledges that reproductive health is not well understood within society and that our role extends beyond just treating patients for infertility. Our new brand identity reflects the authentic, caring and empathetic patient experience we provide to our patients every day. Patient lifecycle engagement The new channel marketing strategy implemented in FY20 is driving positive momentum across our patient pipeline. This is reflected in a significant lift in new patient enquiries post COVID-19 compared to the previous comparison period, and an increase in market share in all markets in the last quarter of FY20. Our new advertising campaign, Brave Together, was launched in the last quarter to acknowledge the bravery our patients show in pursuing their dream of starting a family. It is the start of a much needed conversation in society about fertility. The number of patients engaging with our fertility specialists has significantly increased as a result of new digital events including weekend fertility retreats, webinars, and live chats through social media. Brave together 17 Enhancing our Patient Value Proposition In FY20 we continued to focus on key priorities that will enhance the value proposition to our patients. Empower patients with the right information at the right time. Improve patient outcomes by advancing fertility science, research, and technology. Improve patient care experiences in clinic, online and over the phone. Evolve our service offering to meet changing needs. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Digital Transformation Our digital cloud-first solutions strategy allowed us to provide our patients with a robust telehealth solution and support our team with a new digital workplace. This strategy allowed us to successfully navigate the difficulties caused by COVID-19 while still providing our patients with the best care available. Looking ahead, we will build on these successes by extending the capabilities of our digital workplaces through more collaboration tools and video conferencing. Virtual healthcare will be a critical part of society’s recovery from COVID-19. With this in mind, we are positioning Monash IVF Group to support our patients by deploying a new mobile patient management system. This platform has already successfully supported patients in South Australia and is now being rolled out in New South Wales and Victoria. We’re moving with the evolution of technology in healthcare. We continue to invest in our technology to deliver: • • • improved cyber security operational efficiencies an improved patient experience.

The Asian expansion model focuses on key strategic elements Monash IVF Group brings to its clinics and partners within the region, including scientific and clinical capability, training and development programs, brand strength and recognition, and industry leadership. During FY20, the Group acquired a clinic in Johor Bahru, Malaysia to address both the domestic Malaysian and Singapore markets. This added a bench of highly experienced clinicians and scientists in both Singapore and Malaysia. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Research and Innovation Monash IVF Group is dedicated to ensuring its research and innovation has the ability to transform patient care and improve patient outcomes. embryos cryopreserved which will provide improved outcomes for our patients.

We understand that working with our patients, informing them and involving them in decisions about their care will help us to meet their needs and deliver the care that they expect and desire. We have developed a Clinical Governance framework, which sets out the key systems, structures and processes that guides the quality of the care that we provide. Within this framework, clinicians and clinical teams are supported by management. Through strong clinical leadership and clinical engagement, clinicians are actively involved in risk management and continue to foster a culture that seeks to monitor our activities, learn from our experiences and implement relevant and effective, evidence based improvement activities. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a cross functional review of how our services are delivered; with telehealth services being more widely introduced and a range of infection control, social distancing and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) measures being implemented across the organisation designed for the safety of both our patients and teams, while continuing to deliver care. Over the past year, the Monash IVF Group clinician training program has seen a further 12 doctors participate in furthering their skills and capabilities to ensure that Monash IVF is best placed to manage complex cases across our sites. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Board of Directors Ms Catherine West Independent Non-executive Director Appointed 8 Sept 2020 Michael Knaap Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director Mr Richard Davis Independent Chairman Mr Josef Czyzewski Independent Non-executive Director Ms Christina (‘Christy’) Boyce Independent Non-executive Director Resigned 29 June 2020 Dr Richard Henshaw Executive Director Ms Zita Peach Independent Non-executive Director Mr Neil Broekhuizen Independent Non-executive Director Brave together23 Mr Richard Davis Independent Chairman Mr Josef Czyzewski Independent Non-executive Director Ms Catherine West Independent Non-executive Director Mr. Richard Davis joined the Group in June 2014 and is currently serving as a non-executive director of ASX listed companies, InvoCare Limited and Australian Vintage Limited (and Chairman of Australian Vintage).

Business risks The Monash IVF Group continually considers the benefits of implementing a risk management framework, all of which contributes to the increased likelihood that the Group will be able to achieve its organisational objectives. Accordingly, the Group has a risk management framework and has implemented systematic processes for: Better identification of opportunities and threats; Prevention of potential risks from being realised; Reduction of the element of chance; Increased accountability and transparency for decisions;      More effective allocation and use of resources;      Improved incident management and reduction in loss and the cost of risk; Improved stakeholder confidence and trust; Improved compliance with relevant legislation and accreditation processes; Proactive rather than reactive management; and Enhanced governance. The risk management framework together with the risk assessments and mitigation strategies are regularly reviewed both individually and collectively by the Executive Team, the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board. A simple prioritisation system has been adopted to scale the relative importance of all the identified risks. From review of the Group’s key business, operational and financial risks, processes are in-place to reduce the inherent nature of these risks to an acceptable and manageable level. As a result, the Group does not have any ‘high’ priority residual risks. Notwithstanding this, the Group considers the below as important risks that require continued management to ensure the Group meets its objectives: COVID-19 Pandemic COVID-19 and the risk of transmission of infection may impact Monash IVF’s operations in Australia and Malaysia through the imposition of government and regulatory requirements (which can change over time), including suspension of elective surgery, recommendations to postpone treatment where possible and the need for social distancing impacting staff movement within the partner healthcare system and patient willingness to access services. Monash IVF is continually working with industry bodies, regulator and governments to understand and shape regulatory positions but these positions and related actions can impact Monash IVF operations in the future. The short to medium term impact from COVID-19, particularly on levels of unemployment and movement restrictions may cause Monash IVF to experience reduction in demand for services, and may adversely impact financial performance and market position. In addition, Monash IVF employees may come into close proximity with patients and other members of the public during the course of business, increasing risk of transmission and impact on workforce. While protocols have been established and are effective in responding to the risk of transmission, the workforce may be infected with COVID-19 resulting in disruption of operations and services whilst they are isolating and/or recovering. Relationships with staff in key roles, including clinicians The relationships between Monash IVF Group, the staff and clinicians are key to our recruitment and retention strategies, ability to grow the businesses and replacement of retiring clinicians. The loss or disengagement of any clinicians or inability to attract new clinicians to the organisation would likely impact the revenue and profitability of the organisation. Brave together 37 Directors’ Report Directors’ Report (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years - continued There are similar risks to the organisation relating to the departure or disengagement of the Executive and Leadership Teams and staff in key roles, defined by regulatory requirements. Comprehensive training and development programs, competitive remuneration frameworks, commitment to patient centred care and opportunities to participate in world class research activities all contribute to attracting and retaining the very best talent in the industry. Change in Government funding arrangements for Assisted Reproductive Services There is a risk that the Commonwealth Government will change the funding (including levels, conditions or eligibility requirements) it provides for Assisted Reproductive Services (ARS). Patients receive partial re-imbursement for ARS treatment through Commonwealth Government Programs, including the Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) and Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN). If the level of re-imbursement were to be reduced or capped, patients would face higher out-of-pocket expenses for ARS potentially reducing the demand for services provided by the Group. The Group is not aware of any changes to Commonwealth Government funding for ARS in the short to medium term. Risk of increased competition In each of the markets the Group operates in, there is a risk that:  Existing competitors may undertake aggressive marketing campaigns, product innovation or price discounting;  New market entrants may participate in the Sector and gain market share;   An increase in publicly provided ARS services may reduce the Group’s market share. Further growth in low cost offerings provided by competitors may reduce the Group’s market share; and The Group continues to strategically position the ARS service as a specialised premium offering as a point of differentiation against low cost competitors as outlined in the Business Strategies and Prospects for Future Financial Years sections. In addition, the Group has previously partnered with State based governments in the provision of publicly provided ARS services and will look to continue to partner with governments to provide greater access to ARS services to the community. Occupational Health and Safety Monash IVF employees are at risk of workplace accidents and incidents. In the event that a Monash IVF employee is injured in the course of their employment, Monash IVF may be liable for penalties or damages. This has the potential to harm both the reputation and financial performance of Monash IVF. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Directors’ Report Directors’ Report (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 Information on directors Director Mr Richard Davis Independent Chairman Member of Audit & Risk Management Committee Member of Remuneration & Nomination Committee Experience Mr. Richard Davis joined the Group in June 2014 and is currently serving as a Non-executive director of ASX listed companies, InvoCare Limited and Australian Vintage Limited (Chairman).

The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited by KPMG as required by Section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report. The Remuneration Report outlines the remuneration strategies and arrangements for the Key Management Personnel (KMP), who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Monash IVF Group. Executive Summary The 2020 financial year has seen unprecedented challenges across Australia with the global COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the year the employees of Monash IVF Group have worked tirelessly to adjust to these challenges, enabling the Monash IVF Group to deliver quality patient care in a safe manner that protects our patients, our people and our doctors. In response to the challenges being faced during this time, and considering the circumstances and performance in FY20, the following remuneration outcomes relate to FY20 and FY21;   Short-term incentive (STI) payments for KMP in FY20 reflect the achievement of non-financial metrics ranging from 15-20%. No STI was payable for financial achievements in FY20. Long Term Incentive (LTI) FY18 plans relating to EPS and TSR are not expected to vest due to performance. Increases to the 2021 financial year fixed pay for KMP including Executives have been placed on hold for review in January 2021.  No increase to the 2021 financial year fees for Directors. In taking these decisions, the Board has been mindful that returns to shareholders for the 2020 financial year did not meet our expectations. At the same time, the Board wants to acknowledge the considerable efforts of employees across the Group, and to thank them as they have continued to provide high quality service to our patients through difficult times and events and supporting our strong recovery. The Monash IVF Executive team are commended for their commitment and have worked closely with the Board to navigate the COVID-19 situation with increased consultation meetings to ensure alignment with the regulatory requirements, government recommendations, workforce planning including Stand down periods, Job Keeper, restructuring and undertaking a Capital Equity Raise. The Monash IV Group Executive had also been focused on preparing plans for strong and fast market share growth. The Board will consider in FY21 a special bonus of 5% of TFR available should market share targets be met over the first 3 month period post shutdown. Our remuneration framework continues to be focused on driving a performance culture by linking Executive Remuneration to strategic objectives both financial and non-financial. Executive Remuneration in FY20 remains at levels which are competitive with Executives in comparable companies and roles. Fixed remuneration continues to sit at or below the industry benchmark; a higher proportion of remuneration is performance based and at risk relative to industry peers. The Board varies rewards to Management in accordance with short and long term financial performance. COVID-19 continues to have an impact on many of our patients, employees, doctors and on the community more widely. We will continue to be guided by our principles as we support our patients, our people and our doctors in these challenging times. Director and KMP Changes in FY20 There have been two changes to Directors and KMP in 2020. These include;  Director, Christy Boyce tendered her resignation on 29 June 2020. In the ASX announcement made on 29 June 2020 it was stated that, during Ms Boyce’s tenure as a non-executive director, she retained her partnership at Port Jackson Partners, a boutique strategy consulting firm. Port Jackson Partners has recently been acquired by Ernst & Young (EY) and Ms Boyce was appointed a partner of EY. As EY’s policy stipulates that ‘Partners and Employees should not serve as directors, officers or trustees of entities Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Remuneration Report - Audited Remuneration Report – Audited (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 Director and KMP Changes in FY20 - continued  with publicly traded shares, or debt and for-profit private entities’, Ms Boyce must resign as a Director of the Company. The Board will undertake a search to appoint a new non-executive director.  On the 27th March 2020, Brett Comer the Chief Operations Officer tendered his resignation. Following this Monash IVF Group made an internal succession appointment of Hamish Hamilton to the position of Chief Operations Officer on 30th March 2020.

He has held positions including Scientific Director in Darwin, General Manager Repromed & Regional Manager SA/NT and Ultrasound and has provided interim leadership for both QLD and NSW. 1.0 Remuneration Snapshot 1.1 Remuneration Governance The Board is ultimately responsible for remuneration decisions. To assist the Board’s governance and oversight of remuneration, this is delegated to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (Committee). Under the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter, it must have at least three members, the majority of whom (including the Chair) must be independent Directors and all of whom must be non-executive Directors. The Committee is composed of four independent Directors. Ms Christina Boyce chaired the Remuneration and Nomination Committee until her resignation on 29th June 2020. Ms Boyce was appointed Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee on 4 June 2014. Mr Davis and Mr Czyzewski were appointed on 4 June 2014 and Ms Peach was appointed on 16 December 2016. Ms Zita Peach was appointed to the Remuneration Chair on 23 June 2020. During FY20, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee met five times with full attendance by all members. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee may invite the CEO, CFO/Company Secretary and Chief People & Culture Officer to attend Committee meetings to assist in deliberations (excluding matters relating to their own employment). From time to time, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee seeks independent external advice on the appropriateness of the remuneration framework and remuneration arrangements. No recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act were received in FY20. The Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board in relation to:  Group remuneration principles, strategy and practices  Non-executive director fee frameworks, policy regarding fee allocation, and fee pools sufficient for appropriate fee levels, Board renewal, Board roles, market practice, and director workload  Overall remuneration framework for Executives  Terms and conditions underpinning Executive & Doctor Service Agreements (ESA), including restraint and notice period Eligibility for, and conditions of, incentive plans, including equity-based incentive plans Remuneration packages for all Senior Executives including structure and incentives    Metrics and associated targets for Incentive plans  Terms and conditions associated with incentive plans including equity plan rules, escrow and other restrictions on disposal Structure and quantum of Senior Executive termination payments Treatment of outstanding incentives in case of cessation of employment Exercise of malus or clawback if relevant to incentive plan payments.    The Remuneration and Nomination Committee are also responsible for monitoring and reporting to the Board; Remuneration relative to industry benchmarks   Achievement of performance requirements for the payment of incentives  Diversity and pay equity.

Short Term Incentive (STI) • Ensures a proportion of remuneration is tied to key performance indicators for the relevant financial year and aligned to the strategic goals of the organization. • The STI is available to eligible employees and is based on a balanced scorecard of financial and non-financial objectives. Long Term Incentive (LTI) • Ensures that a proportion of remuneration is tied to longer term Group performance measured over 3 years. • Creates alignment with long term shareholder interests and reward the creation of sustainable shareholder wealth. The Group’s remuneration framework for FY20 for the CEO, CFO and COO had three components, two of which vary with performance. TFR levels sit at or below median for similar organisations. A higher proportion performance based remuneration is at risk relative to peers. The remuneration structure aligns the remuneration opportunity with the level of position accountability. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Remuneration Report - Audited Remuneration Report – Audited (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 2.0 Remuneration Policy - continued The diagram below summarises the framework for FY20.

Total fixed remuneration (TFR) consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis) as well as non-monetary benefits and superannuation. TFR levels are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee through a process that considers market rates and individual experience in the position. TFR is also reviewed on promotion. There are no guaranteed increases in base pay or superannuation included in executive contracts. KMP TFR sits at or below the median level for ASX listed companies of similar size (based on a market capital of $175M - $375M).

Long-term Incentive plan KMP including CEO, CFO & COO are eligible to receive an LTI grant. Grants under LTI Plan are subject to the following conditions: • The invitations issued to eligible persons will include information such as award conditions and, upon acceptance of an invitation, the Board will grant awards in the name of the eligible person. Awards may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with except with the approval of the Board. • Awards will only vest where the conditions advised to the participant by the Board have been satisfied. An unvested award will lapse in a number of circumstances, including where conditions are not satisfied within the relevant time period, or in the opinion of the Board, a participant has committed an act of fraud or misconduct or gross dereliction of duty. If a participant’s engagement with the Company (or one of its subsidiaries) terminates before an award has vested, the Board may determine the extent to which the unvested awards that have not lapsed will become vested awards or, if the award offer does not so provide and the Board does not decide otherwise, the unvested awards will automatically lapse. • Awards are subject to malus and clawback conditions whereby the Board may, in its discretion, and subject to applicable laws, determine the performance rights or shares already allocated following the vesting or exercise of a performance right are forfeited, recovered or the conditions modified. The Board’s decision in regards to unfair benefits obtained by the participant is final and binding. • Where there is a takeover bid or a scheme of arrangement proposed in relation to the Company, the Board may determine that the participant’s unvested awards will become vested awards. In such circumstances, the Board shall promptly notify each participant in writing that the awards have become vested awards, or that he or she may, within the time period specified in the notice and where applicable in accordance with the class or category of award, exercise such vested awards. A participant is not entitled to participate, in their capacity as holder of awards, in any new issue of shares in the Company, nor in any return of capital, buyback or other distribution or payment to shareholders, unless the Board determines otherwise. In the event of a bonus issue or rights issue, the rights of the award will be altered in a manner (if any) determined by the Board, consistent with the ASX Listing Rules. • • In the event of any reorganisation of the issued ordinary capital of the Company before the exercise of an award, the number of shares attached to each award will be reorganised in the manner specified in the LTI plan and in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules or, if the manner is not specified, the Board will determine the reorganisation. In any event, the reorganisation will not result in any additional benefits being conferred on participants which are not conferred on shareholders of the Company. Participants who hold an award issued pursuant to the LTI plan have no rights to vote under the LTI award at meetings of the Company until that award has vested (and is exercised, if applicable) and the participant is the holder of a valid share in the Company. Shares acquired upon vesting of the award will, upon issue, rank equally in all respects with other shares. • No award or share may be offered under the LTI plan if to do so would contravene the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or instruments of relief issued by ASIC from time to time.

EPS threshold performance is 10% per annum over the three-year period The TSR component of the allocation will be measured at the end of the 3-year performance period relative to the ASX300 Healthcare Accumulation Index (Index) performance. 20% will vest at threshold performance when TSR equals index returns, 100% vest at maximum performance if TSR equals index returns + 5 percentage points on an annualised basis, with pro-rata vesting between threshold and maximum The LTI plan is a performance rights plan with vesting rights dependent upon the satisfaction of pre-defined performance hurdles and continuous employment. As indicated in the last remuneration report, LTI grants will be issued on a rolling annual basis. This ensures Executives maintain a continuous focus on sustainable long term growth and returns, and provides an appropriate balance to the focus on annual results demanded by the STI. Performance rights were granted in two tranches during FY20, with each tranche subject to separate vesting conditions. The Executives did not pay any money to be granted those performance rights. The expiry date of the rights will be on the fifth anniversary of their grant.

The Board believes this vesting framework strengthens the performance link over the long-term and accordingly encourages executives to focus on long-term performance.

The Monash IVF Group Ltd Communications Policy can be located at http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor- Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance Principle 7 Recognise and Manage Risk The Monash IVF Group Ltd Board, primarily through the Audit and Risk Management Committee, reviews and manages risk areas for the Group. 7.1 Audit and Risk Committee The identification and appropriate management of risks is an important priority for the Monash IVF Group Ltd Board. ‘Risks’ are identified as any possible outcomes that could materially impact the Company's financial performance, assets, reputation, people or the environment. Risk recognition and management are viewed by the Company as integral to its objectives of creating and maintaining shareholder value, and to the successful execution of the Company's strategies. The Audit and Risk Management Committee oversees and governs risk management strategy and policy, to monitor risk management and to establish procedures which seek to provide assurance that major business risks are identified, consistently assessed and appropriately addressed. The Committee abides by the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities in actively identifying risks and developing appropriate mitigating actions. The Committee adheres to the Risk Management Policy for the business which highlights the risks relevant to Company operations and oversees that the entity is operating with due regard to the risk appetite set by the Board. Monash IVF Group Ltd’s Audit & Risk Management Committee Charter can be found on the website at: http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance This Charter prescribes that the Audit and Risk Management Committee consist of at least three Board Directors that are non-executive independent Directors. 7.2 Risk Management Monash IVF Group provides a framework for risk management which supports the achievement of our strategic and operational objectives. We are committed to maintaining an organisational philosophy and culture which ensures that effective risk management is integrated into day to day activities. The Group maintains a Risk Register that documents all identified risks, lists appropriate preventative actions to mitigate risks, reviews process of risk reduction and nominates responsible persons who take ownership of the risk strategy process. The Risk Register is reviewed by the Risk Owners, Leadership teams and Executive Team help determine whether risks are still current, controls are effective and identify any emerging risks, which are then flagged to the Audit and Risk Management Committee. A review of Risk Management is undertaken annually. Specialist software used to record adverse events and feedback ensures that exposures to risk are continually monitored to ensure they are adequately understood and managed. This system of reporting also allows for formal monitoring of patient safety, identification training needs and informs clinical policy decision making.

The CEO and CFO have key responsibility in ensuring that internal controls are in place, operating effectively and reviewed for continual improvement. As part of the various accreditation and licencing processes undertaken by the business, key internal audit functions are undertaken. These audits are then made available to accreditation and licensing bodies. Certain financial internal controls are tested by KPMG as part of their financial statement audit procedures. The Group believes internal controls implemented such as segregation of duties, delegation processes, treasury controls and structured approval processes counter many risks. The Group will continue to assess whether an independent third party internal audit function or designated in-house internal audit function is required. 7.4 Risk Exposure Monash IVF Group Ltd provides assisted reproductive services in Australia and Malaysia and specialist women’s imaging services in Australia. The Group is committed to performing services in an open and transparent environment and in a manner that is honest and ethical. The Group embraces responsibility for corporate actions and encourages a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including patients, employees, investors and the community. Since its early pioneering days in assisted reproductive treatment, resulting in the first IVF pregnancy in 1973, Monash IVF Group Ltd has played an important role in the local communities it serves and society at large. Its focus on evidenced based fertility care provides the opportunity to commit resources to scientific research, clinical teaching and training. The Group’s services are offered to all and do not discriminate, including nature and complexities of infertility. From an ethical perspective, Monash IVF Group Ltd and its subsidiary companies ensure national regulation and state legislation drives the standards of care to ensure its protects its patients, donors and any children born as a result of treatment provided by the Group. All Monash IVF Group facilities meet the appropriate standards for accreditation including:  Assisted reproductive treatment sites in Australia are accredited with the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee (RTAC) and the Group ensures appropriate documentation is held by sites,  doctors, nurses and scientists. This accreditation incorporates components covering ethics and safety in practice and management of adverse events.  Day surgeries are accredited with National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standards which ensure quality standards are consistent with an exceptional standard of care expected by consumers in health facilities.  Diagnostic laboratories are accredited to ISO 15189 and relevant NPAAC Guidelines.  Diagnostic imaging (ultrasound) facilities are accredited with the Department of Health Diagnostic Imaging  Accreditation Scheme (DIAS). The Group’s Malaysian clinic whilst not legally requiring the same level of regulation, operates to the same standards having been externally accredited to the international RTAC standards. The Group recognises that its staff and Doctors are instrumental to the success of the Organisation. Comprehensive recruitment, credentialing, induction, training and development programs are designed to attract and retain staff equipped to deliver outstanding customer care. Staff actively participate in the continual improvement of the Group’s internal policies and processes and are encouraged to participate in innovation and research. The Monash IVF Group Workplace Health and Safety Policy framework covers policies on general safety in the workplace. Monash IVF Group Ltd recognises protecting the environment is a critical issue and a key responsibility of the Business and corporate community. Monash IVF Group is an organisation that is not involved in manufacturing or resource extraction and hence it considers its environmental footprint to be small. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Corporate Governance Statement Corporate Governance Statement (cont) Principle 7 Recognise and Manage Risk - continued The Group adopts a philosophy of clinical excellence in an environment of safe and supportive service provision. No material environmental or social sustainability risks have been identified. The Group adopts the approach of a responsible corporate citizen with regard to the management of waste and hazardous materials. The Group is not a significant consumer of electricity, water or gas and accordingly, the opportunities for material reductions in utility consumption are limited. The Quality Management System in place in each laboratory supports the review and monitoring of quality of product from suppliers. New consumables undergo a full quality screening process and products are thoroughly evaluated to review where and how products are manufactured before being used in the laboratories. All products are reviewed formally on an annual basis to ensure they maintain quality standards and informally on a day to day basis. Currently all Monash IVF Group clinics use predominantly products from the top two suppliers of laboratory products in Australia in order to maintain consistency in quality. The Group takes cyber security and its potential consequences extremely seriously. The Group has comprehensive security arrangements in place to isolate attacks on its systems and ensure that attempted intrusions are identified and viruses are not spread across the Group’s network or systems. The Group’s IT systems operate safely and securely as demonstrated by a recent cyber-attack that failed to propagate through our systems. Our preventative controls isolated the attack to a comparatively small subset of system resources, while we hardened our firewall and email filtering to stop this and future attacks from coming through. Numerous levels of redundancy and backup are built into the IT systems providing a high degree of system availability and protection of data. The Group periodically engages an independent third party to review the Group’s cyber security risk. Recommendations from these reviews continue to be implemented and the Group continues to invest to further enhance cyber security measures in place. Economic risk continues to be potentially material to Monash IVF Group Ltd. Our services in Australia are indirectly funded to a significant extent by the Australian Federal Government through the Medicare Benefit Schedule and Extended Medicare Safety Net. Any change to the funding arrangements could lead to a reduction in revenue affecting financial performance and sustainability of the Group. Market contraction and changes to market dynamics can significantly affect business outcomes and is a risk for the Group. Market competitiveness has heightened in recent years with the introduction of low cost providers. One area where Monash IVF Group Ltd has been integral in leading the industry has been in advocating for governing bodies to be more transparent in reporting outcomes of treatments to allow patients to be better informed before commencing treatment. Tightening industry standards on consistency of data gathering, outcome reporting and transparency of results to the community will lead to improved outcomes for patients and the industry generally. Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly 8.1 Remuneration and Nomination Committee As outlined above under ‘Structure the Board to add value’ Monash IVF Group Ltd has a combined Remuneration and Nomination Committee which assists the Board with discharging its responsibilities to Shareholders with regard to developing and monitoring remuneration policies and practices for Directors, Senior Executives and employees. The Committee works under the guidance of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter and Remuneration Policy. All members of the Committee are non-executive independent Directors. Details of the Committee members’ experience and technical expertise are set out in the directors’ biographies which can be viewed on the Board of Directors pages in the latest Annual Report. Details of the number of times the Committee met throughout the period and individual attendances of the members can be viewed in the Directors Report in the latest Annual Report. 8.2 Remuneration of executive and non-executive directors Under the guidance of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Policy the Monash IVF Group Ltd Board has established a framework for remuneration that is designed to ensure consistent and reasonable remuneration polices and practices are observed which optimise the attraction and retention of directors and management and fairly rewards Directors and senior management for positive performance. Brave together 71 Corporate Governance Statement Corporate Governance Statement (cont) Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly - continued Monash IVF Group Ltd remuneration practices for Executive appointments are expanded on in the Remuneration Report. The Monash IVF Group Ltd Remuneration Policy can be found on the Group website at: http://ir.monashivfgroup.com.au/Investor-Centre/?page=Corporate-Governance 8.3 Equity Based remuneration The Board may award incentive payments to the CEO, CFO and Senior Executives in the form of equity. The Corporations Act prohibits key management personnel (or closely-related parties) of an ASX-listed Australian company from entering into an arrangement that would limit their exposure to an element of their remuneration subject to a holding lock. Equity-based awards are made on the condition that Corporations Act requirements are complied with. Directors and officers cannot buy and sell securities when in possession of price sensitive information and during the following periods, referred to as Prohibited Periods:  the period from the end of the Company’s financial year (30 June) until the announcement of the Company’s full year results to the ASX; the period from the end of the Company’s half year (31 December) until the announcement of the Company’s half year results to the ASX. Approval from the Chair is required prior to any transacting in shares contemplated by directors and Managing Director, and approval from the Managing Director for any transacting contemplated by the CFO and Company Secretary. A copy of the Securities Trading Policy is available on the Company’s website. Directors and senior executives are not permitted to hedge their exposure to Company securities. Employees, directors and senior executives are not permitted to use Company securities as collateral in any financial transaction, including margin loan arrangements. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2020 for the year ended 30 June 2020 Revenue from services Employee benefits expense(1) Clinician fees Raw materials and consumables used IT and communications expense Depreciation expense Amortisation expense Property expense Marketing and advertising expense Professional and other fees Other expenses(2) Operating profit Net finance costs Profit before tax Income tax expense Net profit after tax for the year Other comprehensive income/(loss) Items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss: Cash flow hedges Tax on cash flow hedges Exchange difference on translation of foreign operations Other comprehensive income/(loss) for the year, net of tax Total comprehensive income for the year Profit attributable to: Owners of the Company Non-controlling interests Profit for the year Total comprehensive income attributable to: Owners of the Company Non-controlling interests Total comprehensive income for the year Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (cents) Diluted earnings per share (cents) Note 2.4,2.5 2.6 4.5 1.5 Consolidated 2020 $’000 145,417 (48,996) (25,743) (16,408) (3,059) (9,106) (1,894) (3,345) (5,718) (4,052) (5,263) 21,833 (5,707) 16,126 (4,366) 11,760 1,115 (336) (77) 702 12,462 11,726 34 11,760 12,428 34 12,462 2019 $’000 151,980 (48,095) (25,754) (15,547) (2,948) (3,712) (1,361) (9,732) (4,989) (3,069) (5,486) 31,287 (3,802) 27,485 (7,678) 19,807 (603) 181 (15) (437) 19,370 19,852 (45) 19,807 19,415 (45) 19,370 1.4 1.4 4.6 4.5 8.4 8.4 *The Group has initially applied AASB 16 at 1 July 2019, using the modified retrospective approach.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Rendering of services Revenue from rendering of services is recognised on completion of services provided. Revenue is recognised when the customer has consumed the benefits of the service, whether on completion of a medical procedure, on supply of drugs, or on completion of analytical tests. If payments received from patients exceed the revenue recognised, the difference is recognised as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue Fees for fertility treatment paid in advance of performing the service are recognised as deferred revenue until the time the service is rendered to the customer when the fees are recognised as revenue. Government grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to costs are recognised in comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. In March 2020, the Australian Government announced the introduction of JobKeeper, an economic response package to the Coronavirus pandemic. Under the JobKeeper grant, businesses impacted by the Coronavirus were able to access a subsidy from the Government to continue paying their employees. Employers who have turnover under $1 billion are eligible for the subsidy if their turnover reduces by more than 30 per cent relative to the comparable prior year period of at least a month between April and September 2020. The COVID-19 impact on the group turnover in April 2020 resulted in a greater than 30% reduction compared to April 2019 due to the temporary suspension of IVF procedures requiring hospitalisation between 25 March and 27 April 2020 in Australia as well as movement control orders in Malaysia. Accordingly, the Group is eligible to claim a fortnightly payment of $1,500 per eligible employee from 30 March 2020 for a maximum period of 6 months. JobKeeper payments receivable from the ATO are recognised by a ‘for profit’ entity as a government grant as the payment is a wage subsidy provided by the Government with the objective of keeping the organisation connected with the economy and their workers during the COVID-19 pandemic period between April and September 2020. The related amounts paid to employees are recognised as employee benefit expenses. The JobKeeper payment is recognised only when there is reasonable assurance that the organisation will comply with the conditions and that the grant will be received. The income is recognised in profit and loss matching the employee salary expense which is what the grant is intended to compensate. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 1.1 Revenue and Expenses - continued As a government grant, there is an accounting policy choice whereby the organisation presents the grant income gross from the expense or net of the related expense. The grant income has been disclosed net of the related employee expense as the subsidy support is used to fund existing employee wages during the period. The grant amount recognised in employee benefits expense is $4.9m (FY19: nil). The amount recognised as a sundry debtor as at 30 June 2020 is $1.6m, and was received in July 2020. 1.2 Operating segments The Group determines and presents operating segments based on information that internally is provided to and used by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. The financial results of each operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to the Chief Executive Officer include items directly attributable to a segment, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses and income tax assets and liabilities. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill. The basis of inter-segmental transfers is market pricing. Results are calculated before consideration of net borrowing costs and tax expense. Segment assets exclude deferred tax balances and cash, which have been included as unallocated assets. Identification of reportable operating segments The two geographic segments being Australia and International reflect Monash IVF Group’s reporting structure to the CODM. Monash IVF Group considers that the two geographic segments are appropriate for segment reporting purposes under AASB 8 “Operating Segments”. These segments comprise the following operations: - Monash IVF Group Australia: provider of Assisted Reproductive Services, Ultrasound and other related services. - Monash IVF Group International: provider of Assisted Reproductive Services in Malaysia.

Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences:   The initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Offsetting deferred tax Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. Tax consolidation Monash IVF Group Limited and its wholly Australian owned controlled entities are part of a tax consolidation group under Australian taxation law. Monash IVF Group Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Entities within the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Monash IVF Group Limited and each of the entities in the tax consolidated group have agreed to pay (or receive) a tax equivalent payment to (or from) the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Key estimate and judgement: Key estimate and judgement: Recovery of deferred tax assets Income taxes A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where foreign operations. it has Judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes and in assessing whether deferred tax balances are recognised on the statement of financial position. Changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of provision for income taxes and deferred tax balances recognised.

The increase in provision for expected credit losses during the year was predominately driven to reflect counterparties that have been impacted by COVID-19 in combination with a general increased loss expectation as a result of a deterioration in the economic environment. Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method less provision for expected credit losses. A financial asset (including trade receivables) not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. AASB 9 replaced the ‘incurred loss model’ in AASB 139 with an ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. Loss allowances for trade receivables are measured at an amount equal to 12 month ECLs. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience, debtor ageing and credit assessment including forward-looking information. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a patient or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables, being patients. Patient fees for most treatments are received in advance and recognised as deferred revenue if the procedure is yet to be performed. This reduces the risk of non-collectability. Outstanding receivables predominantly relate to amounts owing from Medicare and storage fee patient accounts. Payment reminder notices are issued to patients Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 2.1 Trade and other receivables - continued with outstanding balances at 30, 60 and 90 days. After which, collection of this debt may be handled by a collection agency. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. When parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised on a net basis within “other income” in profit or loss. The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day- to-day servicing of the plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Key estimate and judgement: Depreciation The Group’s plan and equipment are depreciated over their useful economic lives between 2-10 years. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 2.5 Right of Use Assets Leases as lessee $’000 Cost Opening balance at 1 July Recognition of right-of-use asset on initial application of AASB16 Adjusted Opening balance at 1 July Additions Acquisitions through business combinations Disposals Closing balance at 30 June Accumulated depreciation Opening balance at 1 July Recognition of right-of-use asset on initial application of AASB16 Adjusted Opening balance at 1 July Depreciation for the year Disposals Closing balance at 30 June Carrying amount At 1 July (Opening balance) Adjusted balance at 1 July At 30 June (Closing balance) 2020 Buildings Equipment Total 2019 Total - 46,143 46,143 9,469 2,132 (39) 57,705 - (17,360) (17,360) (5,245) 39 (22,566) - - - 46,143 - 1,770 - - 1,770 46,143 11,239 2,132 (39) 59,475 - - - (17,360) - (395) - (395) (17,360) (5,640) 39 (22,961) - 28,783 35,139 - - 1,375 - - 36,514 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Group leases property and equipment.

Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. The extension options held are exercisable by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant changes in circumstances within its control. The Group has estimated that the potential future lease payments, should it exercise the extension option, would result in an increase in lease liability of $8.2 million.

Trademarks have an indefinite useful life where there is no expiry and no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which these assets are expected to contribute to the cash flows of the Group. Similar to goodwill, these are tested for impairment annually. Goodwill Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of net identifiable assets of the acquired entities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Impairment testing Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets become impaired when their carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. In determining the recoverable amount, judgments and assumptions are made in the determination of likely net sale proceeds or in the determination of future cash flows which support a value in use. Specifically, with respect to future cash flows, judgments are made in respect to the quantum of those future cash flows and the discount rates (cost of capital and debt) applied to determining the net present value of these future cash flows. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 2.6 Intangible assets - continued The carrying amounts of the Group’s non financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the ‘cash-generating’ units). The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 or CGU. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. The following CGUs were tested for impairment during the year: Goodwill and trademark allocated to: Australia Ultrasound International Impairment testing assumptions 2020 $’000 219,030 28,232 5,752 253,014 2019 $’000 215,572 28,232 5,149 248,953 The recoverable amount of a CGU is based on value-in-use calculations. The following key assumptions were utilised for the impairment testing: - The respective discount rate was a pre-tax measure based on the rate of 10 year Government bonds issued by the Australian and Malaysian Government respectively in the relevant market, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk of investing in equities generally and the systemic risk of the specific CGU. A pre- tax discount rate of 10.5% (FY19: 10.47%) for the Australian CGU, 11.0% (FY19: 11.70%) for the Ultrasound CGU and 10.5% (FY19: 11.27%) for the International CGU was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate and related risk factors also had regard to the current COVID-19 environment. - Cash flow forecasts are based on the Board-approved FY21 budget, projected for four years plus a terminal value. The FY21 budget reflects management’s best estimate of forecast operating performance having regard to the market and economic uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The underpinning assumptions include a return to pre-COVID-19 volumes in FY21 driven by pent up demand for IVF and Ultrasound services and a general stabilization in economic activity, the continuation of cost containment initiatives, no inclusion of expected JobKeeper payments, and no further extended Government restrictions or lockdowns that impact the Group’s ability to provide its services to customers. - A long-term growth rate into perpetuity of 2.5%-3.0% (FY19: 3.0%) has been determined based on an assessment of historical growth rates, expectations of future growth rates and market specific dynamics. Impact of possible changes in key assumptions All CGU’s in the Group have been tested for impairment and have met their required hurdle rates to support the current carrying values. Any reasonable possible change to relevant assumptions and inputs would not result in the recoverable amount being lower than the carrying amount.

This section is to be read in conjunction with the Remuneration Report, as set out in the Directors Report. 3.1 Employee benefits 3.3 Key management personnel 3.2 Share-based payments 3.1 Employee benefits Current liability Long service leave Annual leave Total current employee benefits Non current liability Long service leave Total non current employee benefits Total employee benefits provision Provisions 2020 $’000 4,021 5,421 9,442 1,037 1,037 10,479 2019 $’000 5,095 3,477 8,572 920 920 9,492 A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. Provision for employee benefits Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits are expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other employee benefits are measured at their present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by the employees up to the reporting date. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on corporate bonds issued by the relevant markets that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. 3.2 Share-based payments Senior executives’ long-term incentive plan The Group will provide benefits to certain employees in the form of share-based payment options and/or performance rights. The fair values of these instruments granted under the plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grand date and recognized over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the instruments. Fair value is measured at grant date using a combination of Binomial tree and Monte-Carlo Simulation models, for the respective performance hurdles. The valuation was performed by an independent valuer which models the future security price. Brave together 93 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 3.2 Share-based payments - continued The fair value of the instruments granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of instruments that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of instruments that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit and loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Under the Company’s Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) Plan, awards (constituting share appreciation rights, performance rights or options, or any different class or category of award on such terms as the Board determines, may be offered to eligible persons selected by the Directors. Key management personnel and other senior management are eligible to participate under the LTI Program. The senior executive LTI are performance rights plans with vesting rights dependent upon the satisfaction of pre- defined performance hurdles and continuous employment. Current performance hurdles are based on achievement of pre-defined Earning Per Share (“EPS”) Hurdle and a Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Hurdle over a three year performance period. The Board may amend the performance hurdles or specify a different performance hurdle(s) if it considers it necessary. For further detail on the specific LTI plans, refer to the Remuneration Report. Long term incentive program (equity settled) A description of the equity plans applicable during the year are described below: Grant date Vesting conditions (2020) 16 October 2019 (2019) 20 December 2018 (2018) 29 January 2018 (2017) 17 March 2017 EPS - Subject to meeting certain EPS hurdles and 3 year service period to 30 June 2022 TSR - Subject to Total Shareholder Return hurdles and a 3 year service period to the 11th trading day after the FY22 results announcement EPS - Subject to meeting certain EPS hurdles and 3 year service period to 30 June 2021 TSR - Subject to Total Shareholder Return hurdles and a 3 year service period to the 11th trading day after the FY21 results announcement EPS - Subject to meeting certain EPS hurdles and 3 year service period to 30 June 2020 TSR - Subject to Total Shareholder Return hurdles and a 3 year service period to the 11th trading day after the FY20 results announcement EPS - Subject to meeting certain EPS hurdles and 3 year service period to 30 June 2019 TSR - Subject to Total Shareholder Return hurdles and a 3 year service period to the 11th trading day after the FY19 results announcement Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 3.2 Share-based payments - continued Key estimate and judgement: Share-based payments As a result of the combination of non-market (EPS) and market (TSR) vesting conditions, the fair value of the share rights plan has been measured using Binomial tree and Monte Carlo simulation respectively. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the equity-settled share based payment plans were as follows: Fair value at grant date (EPS condition) Fair value at grant date (TSR condition) Share price at grant date Expected volatility – Monash IVF Expected volatility – ASX 300 Healthcare Index Expected life (years) Expected dividends Risk free interest rate (based on government bonds) 2020 $0.94 $0.46 $0.94 35% 15% 6 6.0% 0.83% 2019 $1.00 $0.45 $1.00 30% 15% 6 6.0% 1.88% 2018 $1.19 $0.49 $1.36 37% 14% 5 5.5% 2.13% 2017 $1.69 $0.63 $1.90 32% 15% 5 4.8% 1.91% Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company’s share price, particularly over the historical period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term of the instruments has been based on historical experience and general instrument holder behavior. Reconciliation of outstanding performance rights The number of performance rights under the company’s long-term incentive plan were as follows: 2020 Grant Date 17 Mar 2017 29 Jan 2018 20 Dec 2018 16 Oct 2019 Balance at 1July 2019 Expiry Date 30 June 2019 19,447 30 June 2020 95,210 30 June 2021 207,997 - 30 June 2022 322,654 Granted during the year - - - 471,055 471,055 Lapsed during the year (19,447)1 (47,605)2 - - (67,052) Forfeited during the year - - (73,466)3 (103,043)3 (176,509) Balance at Vested 30 June during the 2020 year - - - 47,605 - 134,531 - 368,012 - 550,148 (1) TSR vesting conditions for performance rights granted in FY17 were not satisfied therefore these rights lapsed.

The Directors determine the appropriate capital structure of Monash IVF, specifically how much is raised from the shareholders (equity) and how much is borrowed from financial institutions (debt) in order to finance the current and future activities of the Group. The Directors review the Group’s capital structure regularly and do so in the context of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, to invest in opportunities that grow the business and enhance shareholder value. 4.1 Share capital and reserves 4.4 Derivative financial instruments 4.2 Financial risk management 4.5 Net finance costs 4.3 Borrowings 4.6 Cash and cash equivalents 4.1 Share capital and reserves Opening balance at 1 July 2018 Shares issued (1) Closing balance at 30 June 2019 Opening balance at 1 July 2019 Shares issued (2) Capital raising fees (2) Closing balance at 30 June 2020 Number of shares issued 235,395,438 390,446 235,785,884 235,785,884 153,848,956 - 389,634,840 $’000 428,347 410 428,757 428,757 80,001 (1,972) 506,786 (1) Issue of shares to a consultant under the terms of their consultancy agreement. (2) In May 2020, the Company issued 153,848,956 shares under its non-renounceable entitlement offer at a price of $0.52 per share, resulting in an increase in share capital of $80.0 million less transaction costs of $2.8 million pre tax ($2.0m post tax). Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as share capital. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Capital management The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and market confidence and to sustain future growth of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Board of Directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital structure. In order to maintain an optimal capital structure, the Group may amend the amount of dividends declared and paid, return capital to shareholders or increase borrowings or equity to fund growth and future acquisitions. Other equity reserve The other equity reserve represents the difference between the issued capital in Healthbridge Enterprises Pty Ltd and Monash IVF Group Ltd on 26 June 2014, being the date Monash IVF Group Ltd acquired Healthbridge Enterprises Pty Ltd.

Share option reserve Share option reserve represents the grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment awards granted to employees, which is generally recognised as an expense, with corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period of the awards. Hedge reserve The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments related to highly probable forecast transactions. The hedging reserve is used to record gains or losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and that are recognised in OCI. Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss when the associated hedged transaction affects profit or loss. Foreign currency translation reserve The translation reserve comprises all foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations. Escrow arrangements The following ordinary shareholders have entered into voluntary escrow arrangements in relation to certain ordinary shares they hold in Monash IVF Group Ltd. An ‘escrow’ is a restriction on sale, disposal, or encumbering of, or certain other dealings in respect of, the Shares concerned for the period of the escrow, subject to exceptions set out in the escrow arrangement.

This concluded the release of the pre-IPO doctor short-term escrow. Shares held in long-term escrow are subject to the following conditions: 1. Shares equivalent to 20% of a Doctor’s interest prior to the re-organisation will be released when the Doctor reaches the age of 63. These shares may be otherwise released from escrow in the following circumstances: - for Doctors who were aged 63 or older at the time of re-organisation or who turned 63 within two years of Completion, these shares can be released from escrow from June 2016; or - where a Doctor becomes a ‘relocated leaver’ (as described below), these Shares can be released from escrow five years after the date that they become a ‘relocated leaver’; or Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 4.1 Share capital and reserves - continued - where a Doctor dies or leaves the Group as a result of becoming permanently disabled or seriously disabled, these shares can be released from escrow on the date of the relevant occurrence (as resolved by the Board acting reasonably); or if the Board determines to release the shares from escrow earlier. - 2. Shares equivalent to the final 20% of a Doctor’s interest prior to re-organisation can be released from escrow: - on retirement by the Doctor from the ARS industry (provided a Doctor must have used their best endeavours to transition their practice to another Doctor to the satisfaction of the Board); or if the Doctor becomes a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ (as described below); or five years after the Doctor leaves Monash IVF Group in other circumstances. - - Doctors will be able to sell any non-escrowed Shares at any time, subject to complying with insider trading restrictions and the Group’s Securities Trading Policy. The escrow arrangements describe the circumstances in which a Doctor is a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ in the following manner: (a) A Doctor is a ‘good leaver’ where: - - they leave the Group as a result of death, serious disability or permanent incapacity through ill health (as determined by the Group’s Board, acting reasonably); or they or the Group terminates the Doctor’s contract in specific circumstances; or The Board determines, in its discretion, that the Doctor is a ‘good leaver’. (b) A Doctor is a ‘relocated leaver’ if they terminate their contract and the Board is satisfied that: - - - the Doctor genuinely intends to relocate permanently to a place which is more than 100 km from any clinic operated by the Group or any of its subsidiaries; and the Doctor also intends to provide Assisted Reproductive Services in the place the Doctor is relocating to; and the Doctor has used their best endeavours to transition their practice to another Doctor at the Group. (3) Escrow for Sydney Ultrasound for Women (SUFW) All shares issued to the vendors of SUFW are escrowed such that 53.3% of the shares issued were escrowed until the first trading day after the release of the FY16 results at which time 3.3% of escrowed shares were released. 3.3% were escrowed until the first trading day after the release of the FY17 results and 3.3% are escrowed until the first trading day after the release of the FY18 results. The remaining 40% is subject to escrow and is consistent with the Doctors above in points 1 and 2. Doctors will be able to sell any non-escrowed Shares at any time, subject to complying with insider trading restrictions and the Group’s Securities Trading Policy. The escrow arrangements describing the circumstances in which a SUFW Doctor is a ‘good leaver’ or a ‘relocated leaver’ is the same as described above. 4.2 Financial risk management The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: - - - - Liquidity risk; Foreign exchange risk; Interest risk; and Price risk. This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report. Brave together 99 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 4.2 Financial risk management - continued Risk management policies are in place to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its recruitment, training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The group manages this risk through the following mechanisms: - Preparing forward-looking financial analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities; - Monitoring undrawn credit facilities; - Obtaining funding from a variety of sources; - Maintaining a reputable credit profile; - Managing credit risk related to financial assets; - Only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and - Comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting arrangements, subject to the Group meeting future undertakings.

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk may be managed using a mix of floating rate debt and fixed rate instruments. Interest rate swaps may be used to mitigate interest rate risk on floating rate debt. Interest rate swaps are not entered into for trading purposes and are not classified as held for trading. At 30 June 2020, there was no fixed interest rate exposure (FY19: 56%) following the closure or maturity of the $50 million of interest rate swaps during the year. There were no fixed interest rate swaps in place at 30 June 2020 (FY19: $1.1m). The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to management of the Group is as follows including the impact of hedging instruments: Fixed rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities 2020 $’000 2,004 (38,631) 36,627 13,068 (19,279) (6,211) 2019 $’000 565 (50,000) (49,435) 3,716 (39,000) (35,284) Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A reasonable possible change of a 100 basis points in interest rates are the reporting date would have increased /(decreased) equity and profit or loss by $62,110 (FY19: $352,840). This assumes that all other variables remain constant. Market risk – Operational risk The Group is exposed to legislative and/or Government policy changes to funding for IVF and related healthcare services which may impact patient out-of-pocket costs resulting in potentially higher or lower demand. Fair values (a) Accounting classifications and fair values The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. The Group has not disclosed the fair values for financial assets such as short- term trade receivables, and financial liabilities such as payables (including variable rate secured bank loans), because these carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair values. 2020 Financial liabilities measured at fair value Interest rate swaps for hedging Fair Value Carrying amount $’000 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $’000 $’000 $’000 Total $’000 - - - - - Brave together 101 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 4.2 Financial risk management - continued 2019 Financial liabilities measured at fair value Interest rate swaps for hedging Fair Value Carrying amount $’000 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $’000 $’000 $’000 Total $’000 1,113 - 1,113 - 1,113 The table above analyses financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value.

Similar contracts are traded in an active market and the quotes reflect the actual transactions in similar instruments 4.3 Borrowings Significant unobservable inputs Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement Not applicable Not applicable Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Recognition and measurement Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge certain floating interest rate exposures. On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedging items, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the change in the cash flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributed transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes to therein are accounted for as described below. All derivative financial instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Cash flow hedge Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised in OCI and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI and presented in the hedge reserve in equity remains there until the forecast transaction affects profit or loss. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in OCI is recognised immediately in profit or loss. In other cases the amount recognised in OCI is transferred to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss.

BHD in Johor Bahru, Malaysia for $0.6m. 5.2 Acquisitions and disposals Acquisition of Fertility Solutions On 16 September 2019, the Group acquired Fertility Solutions which operates two clinics located in Buderim (on the Sunshine Coast) and Bundaberg. The business brings six fertility specialists who have worked together for several years into the Monash IVF clinician network. The transaction includes the acquisition of certain assets, liabilities and contracts of Fertility Solutions for an initial cash consideration of $2.1million on a debt free basis, with the potential of additional earn out payments over a four year period to 30 June 2023. In this financial report, Fertility Solutions contributed $2.2m of revenue and net profit before tax of $0.4m to the consolidated results. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2019, Management estimate that consolidated revenue would have been $2.8m and consolidated profit before tax for the period would have been $0.5m. In determining these amounts, management assumed that the fair value adjustments, determined provisionally would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2019. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been determined at fair value: Consideration Cash Contingent consideration Current Non Current Total contingent consideration Total consideration Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Prepayments Plant and equipment Inventory Trade and other payables Employee entitlements Total identifiable net assets Total consideration less Fair value of identifiable assets Goodwill $'000 2,100 600 1,200 1,800 3,900 28 943 88 (325) (199) 535 3,900 (535) 3,365 The Group incurred acquisition related costs of $0.5m relating to external legal fees, due diligence and stamp duty costs. These costs are included in ‘professional and other fees’ in the Group’s statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Accounting estimates and judgements – Contingent consideration Deferred or contingent consideration relates to businesses acquired and is initially measured at fair value as at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, deferred consideration continues to be measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognised in the profit or loss. Brave together 107 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 5.2 Acquisitions and disposals - continued The measurement of contingent consideration requires management to estimate the amount likely to be paid in the future. This requires the exercise of judgement, in particular where the amounts is payable is dependent to the future financial performance of the business that has been acquired. Accounting policy for business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group’s operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition date. Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group measures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair value and the difference between 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. Subsequent 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 investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets and liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) twelve months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer received all the information possible to determine fair value. Sale of 10% of KL Fertility & Gynaecology Centre Sdn Bhd (KLFGC) On 31 December 2019, a share sale agreement was executed for the sale of 10% of KLFGC to two Malaysian fertility specialists. The strategic disposal of part of the Kuala Lumpur clinic is to align and facilitate further growth in Kuala Lumpur and other Asian regions. Total consideration under the share sale agreement was $1.7m payable in cash. Hobart IVF Pty Ltd Ownership Interest % change (Refer to 5.3) On 6 August 2019, a buy back agreement was signed between Hobart IVF Pty Ltd and a minority interest shareholder. The purchase price paid for the 17.6% shareholding was $195k. As a result, the Group’s shareholding increased from 47.3% to a 57.4% majority shareholding. Accordingly, this resulted in a change of control with full consolidation of this entity in the Group financial statements. 5.3 Investments accounted for using the equity method Name of company Compass Fertility Hobart IVF Pty Ltd (Trading as Fertility Tasmania)* *Refer to Note 5.2 Principal Activity Ownership Interest % Share of Net Profit/Loss $’000 Fertility Services Fertility Services 2020 25% 2019 25% - 47.3% 2020 205 (8) 2019 111 8 Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 5.4 Parent entity As at 30 June 2020 and throughout the financial year ending on that date, the parent company of the Group was Monash IVF Group Limited.

Whilst this is disrupting operational efficiency and patient movement, provision of IVF and Ultrasound services are continuing notwithstanding Stage 4 restrictions. IVF services are exempt from the non-urgent elective surgery ban in-place in Victoria due to the service being “time critical and has minimal impact on hospital bed capacity”. Effective 24 August 2020, the Group has right sized the $110m Syndicated Debt Facility to $40m. The $40m accordion facility remains available for acquisitions and capital expenditure. Except as disclosed above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material or unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial periods. 6.3 Reporting entity Monash IVF Group Ltd (the ‘Company’) is a for profit company primarily involved in the area of assisted reproductive services and the provision of specialist women’s imaging services. Monash IVF Group Ltd was incorporated on 30 April 2014. The Company is incorporated in Australia and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Its registered office is at Level 1, 21-31 Goodwood Street, Richmond, Victoria and is limited by shares. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its controlled entities (collectively ‘the consolidated entity’, ‘Monash Group’ or ‘Group’). Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 6.4 Basis of preparation Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements of the Group comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the international Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 August 2020. Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional and presentational currency of the Company and the majority of the Group. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Rounding of amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), relating to the rounding off of amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that legislative instrument to the nearest thousand, unless specifically stated to be otherwise. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Monash IVF Group Ltd as at 30 June 2020 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 Group. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Basis of measurement The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical cost (unless otherwise stated), except for derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration assumed in a business combination, which have been measured at fair value. Foreign currency translation Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at foreign exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised costs in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI), and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. Brave together 113 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 6.4 Basis of preparation - continued Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: (i) Estimated recoverable amount of goodwill and other non-current assets The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policy for intangible assets. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units, or CGUs). Refer to Note 12 for further details on impairment testing. (ii) Provision for ECL on receivables The Group calculates the doubtful debts provision under the expected credit loss (ECL) model. The Group assesses credit losses based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. Measurement of ECL allowance for trade receivables is disclosed in Note 8. (iii) Deferred consideration The measurement of deferred consideration requires management to estimate the amount likely to be paid in the future. This requires the exercise of judgement, in particular where the amounts is payable is dependent to the future financial performance of the business that has been acquired. (iv) Leases The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if the rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Going concern As at 30 June 2020, the group has a net current asset deficiency of $7,196,000 (FY19: $8,670,000). The Directors consider that there are reasonable grounds to believe the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due based on forecast operating cash flows which indicate that cash reserves are sufficient to fund operation, the availability of committed but undrawn external debt facilities, and given certain current liabilities such as employee entitlements and deferred revenue will not be fully settled in the short term to cause a liquidity shortfall. The spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organisation on 31 January 2020 and upgraded to a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. The rapid rise of the virus has seen an unprecedented global response by Governments, regulators and industry sectors. The Australian Federal Government enacted its emergency plan on 29 February 2020 which has seen the closure of Australian borders from 20 March, an increasing level of restrictions on corporate Australia’s ability to operate, significant volatility and instability in financial markets and the release of a number of government stimulus packages to support individuals and businesses as the Australian and global economies face significant slowdowns and uncertainties. Community disruption has continued beyond 30 June 2020 with further restrictions in-place in Victoria and localised outbreaks emerging across Australia. In response to declaration of a global pandemic in March 2020, the Group implemented a range of measures designed to protect the health and safety of its patients, employee and clinicians. On 25 March 2020, for public safety reasons, the Fertility Society of Australia recommended the postponing of patients planning to start fertility treatment following Federal Cabinet’s decision to temporarily suspend non-urgent elective surgery, which was lifted on 27 April 2020. Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 6.4 Basis of preparation - continued This significantly impacted the Group’s operating performance during Q4FY20 including a 73% decline in Australian stimulated cycles in April 2020 compared to pcp and a 76% decline in International stimulated cycles in April and May. As a result, the Group initiated the following actions and activities:  Cash preservation activities across operating and capital expenditure to reduce the Group’s monthly net operating cash flow burn during the period of restriction and uncertainty. This included stand-down of employees, a reduction in science, consumables and other clinical variable costs and a reduction in fixed non-essential expenditure including temporary reduction in premise costs. In addition, non-essential capital projects were paused;  1H20 interim dividend due for payment in April 2020 was deferred to 2 October 2020;  Execution of an $80m equity raise comprising an institutional placement and pro-rata accelerated non- renounceable entitlement offer, which was completed on 28 May 2020. The purpose of the equity raising was to improve liquidity, strengthen the balance sheet by reducing debt to navigate through COVID-19 uncertainty in FY20 and beyond, and provide flexibility to pursue identified organic and non-organic growth opportunities in Australia and South East Asia;  Agreement was reached with the Group’s financiers to waive financial covenant obligations until 30 June 2021 under the Syndicated Debt Facility. Following the actions implemented above and COVID-19 developments, the Directors have considered plausible forecast cash flow scenarios (including adverse downside scenarios) for at least the twelve month period from the date of approval of these financial statements. As a result, the Directors consider that the Group is able to pay its debts as and when they are due and these financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis. 6.5 Changes in significant accounting policies The Group has applied AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019. A number of other new standards are effective from 1 July 2019 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements. This is the first set of the Group’s financial statements where AASB 16 Leases has applied, the changes are described below. AASB 16 Leases AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for the lessee, effectively treating all leases as finance leases. This will effectively move all off-balance sheet operating leases onto the balance sheet. In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:    the use of a single discount rate across a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics in relation to lease term; the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short term leases which are recognised on a straight line basis as an expense; and the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. On transition to AASB 16, the Group recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, recognizing the difference in retained earnings. The impact of the adoption of AASB 16 is set out below: On 1 July 2019 Right of use assets Lease liabilities Deferred tax asset Retained earnings $’000 29,547 (31,180) 790 1,843 Brave together 115 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 6.5 Changes in significant accounting policies - continued When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, The Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. The weighted average rate applied is 3%. Operating lease commitment as disclosed at 30 June 2019 Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019 Lease liabilities recognised as at 30 June 2019 Recognition exemption for leases of low-value assets Recognition for leases with less than 12 months of lease term at transition Extension options reasonably certain to be exercised Lease liabilities recognised at 1 July 2019 14,073 (2,159) 11,914 - - 20,266 32,180 * In November 2019, the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued a final agenda decision, Lease Term and Useful Life of Leasehold Improvements, on how lease term of a cancellable or renewable lease should be determined for both the lessor and lessee when applying AASB 16 Leases. IFRIC clarifies that the broader economics and not only the contractual termination payments should be considered in determining lease terms. The adoption of this clarification increased right of use assets by $8,154 and lease liabilities by $8,926 in the Statement of Financial Position. In relation to the leases under AASB 16, the Group has recognized depreciation and interest costs, instead of operating lease expense. During the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group recognised: Depreciation expense Interest expense Accounting policy 5,640 1,046 The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if the rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by the lease payment made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised. At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under AASB 117 Leases, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at their carrying value as if AASB 16 has been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application – the Group applied this approach to its largest property lease. 6.6 New standards and interpretations The following accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been identified as those which will impact the Group in the period of initial adoption. They were available for early adoption for the Group’s annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2019, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report. These standards are not expected to have a material impact to the Group: Monash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont) for the year ended 30 June 2020 6.6 New standards and interpretations - continued - - - Amendments to References to Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards Definition of a business (Amendments to AASB 3) Definition of material (Amendments to AASB 101 and AASB 108) Brave together Directors’ Declaration for the year ended 30 June 2020 117 Directors’ Declaration for the year ended 30 June 2020 1.

This matter was 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 this matter. Goodwill ($233.2 million) Refer to Note 2.6 of the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit At 30 June 2020 the Group’s balance sheet includes goodwill, contained within three cash generating units (CGUs) – Australian IVF, International IVF and Ultrasound. A key audit matter for us was the Group’s annual testing of goodwill for impairment, and the estimation uncertainty continuing from the business disruption impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic. We focused on the significant forward-looking assumptions the Group applied in its value in use models, including: •Forecast cash flows, growth ratesand terminal growth rates in light ofthe changes in market conditions,including the impact from COVID-19,that have impacted the actual andexpected performance of the relevantCGUs. These conditions impact ourconsideration of forecasting risk; and•Discount rate – these vary accordingto the conditions and environmentthe specific CGU is subject to fromtime to time.The Group uses a range of internal and external sources as inputs to the model assumptions. Modelling, including those containing judgemental allocations of corporate costs to CGUs, that use forward-looking assumptions can be prone to greater risk for potential bias, error and inconsistent application especially in this current environment. Where the Group has not met prior year forecasts in relation to a specific CGU we factor this into our assessment of Our procedures included: •We considered the appropriateness of the Group’svalue in use methodology to perform the annual testof goodwill for impairment against the requirementsof the accounting standards;•We assessed the Group’s underlying methodologyand documentation for the allocation of corporatecosts to the respective CGUs. We examined theforecast cash flows contained in the value in usemodel for consistency with our understanding of thebusiness and the criteria in the accounting standards;•We met with management and those charged withgovernance to understand the impact of COVID-19to the Group and impact of government responseprograms to the actual and forecast results;•We assessed the integrity of the value in use modelsused, including the accuracy of the underlyingcalculations formulas;•We compared the forecast cash flows contained inthe value in use models to revised forecastsreflecting the COVID-19 expected recovery rateapproved by the Board;•We assessed the accuracy of previous Groupforecasting to inform our evaluation of forecastsincluded in the value in use models.We applied increased scepticism to current periodCGU forecasts when there was a shortfall inperformance against previous forecasts;•We considered the sensitivity of the models byvarying key assumptions, such as forecast growthrates, terminal growth rates and discount rates,within a reasonably possible range. We did this toidentify those assumptions at higher risk of bias orMonash IVF Group Annual Report 2020 Independent Auditor’s Report (cont) This is the original version of the Audit Report over the Financial Statements signed by the Directors on 24 August 2020.

These conditions necessitate additional scrutiny by us, in particular to address the objectivity of sources used for assumptions, and their consistent application. In addition to the above, the carrying amount of the net assets of the Group exceeded the Group’s market capitalisation at year end, increasing the possibility of goodwill being impaired. This further increased our audit effort in this key audit area. We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter. inconsistency in application and to identify those CGUs at higher risk of impairment and to focus our further procedures; •We challenged the Group’s forecast cash flow andgrowth assumptions in light of the expectedcontinuation of significant uncertainties arising fromthe COVID-19 global pandemic.
