During the year almost 600,000 patient appointments were provided by the dentists who practise under a fully serviced surgery arrangement from one or more of our dental centres. Patient satisfaction continued to be very strong, as highlighted by our Net Promoter Score of above 70 for the year. To underpin successful ongoing expansion of the business over the long term, a number of important initiatives were launched during FY2017. These included the development of a data warehouse and practitioner database to significantly uplift our data management and reporting capabilities, a leadership development focus via an internal program for regional and department managers, the inaugural INSPIRE dentist conference to deliver bespoke education and development to dentists who practise from our facilities, and an expanded Dental Advisory Committee comprising internal and external dentists who provide expert advice on clinical affairs and professional matters. We are also trialling a dental plan product for patients without private health insurance and we are collaborating with zipMoney to help patients pay for the treatments they require. Dr Alex Abrahams, dentist and co-founder of Pacific Smiles, announced his retirement from the Executive team at the end of the year, retaining his position on the Board, but now in a non-executive capacity. Alex is a highly valued and respected mentor to dentists and in addition to his valuable inputs as a Non-Executive Director, he will provide education and development services to dentists across Pacific Smiles as a clinical consultant. These changes and the strategic investments in technology, people and systems will help to take the company to the next level, as we push beyond the important milestone of 100 dental centres. There were some headwinds for the sector in a fairly challenging year. The key macro drivers of demand for dental services, such as consumer spending and sentiment, real wages and private health insurance participation rates, were under some pressure during the year. Overall, the financial performance in FY2017 was solid, however we experienced soft trading in April and May resulting in full year Patient Fee and EBITDA growth being less than we had expected at the start of the financial year. Pacific Smiles’ financial position remains strong, with capacity to fund new centre expansions through increasing operating cash flows, supplemented by low levels of borrowing. We continue to refine and improve our site selection, our marketing reach and impact, our patient care services and experience and the analytics which provide deeper insights into patient needs and behaviours. What we don’t do is interfere in any way in the clinical independence of the dentists by setting clinical treatment quotas or targets. High ethical standards remain the cornerstone of this company. A final dividend of 3.7 cents per share has been declared in relation to FY2017 and this will be paid in October 2017. This represents 87% of underlying Net Profit After Tax. I would like to thank the dentists who choose to practise from our dental centres and the Pacific Smiles management and staff who provide the infrastructure and services to support them. Together, they demonstrate our True Purpose of improving the oral health of ALL Australians to world’s best, every day. Thank you also to my fellow Directors and the Pacific Smiles senior leadership team for their commitment and dedication to Pacific Smiles. Robert Cameron Chairman ANNUAL REPORT 2017 3 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW Overview Pacific Smiles Group Limited (Pacific Smiles) owns and operates 62 Pacific Smiles Dental Centres and eight nib Dental Care Centres in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory. Almost 350 dentists have engaged Pacific Smiles as their serviced facility provider, practising from one or more of the 70 facilities as independent clinical practitioners. The business model is relatively simple. Dentists devote their working days to clinical dentistry while employees of Pacific Smiles take care of everything else such as administration, human resources, marketing, facility management, stock ordering and IT systems management. Dentists pay Pacific Smiles a monthly service fee for the range of business services provided. An absolute commitment to outstanding patient care and customer service at dental centres operated by Pacific Smiles is reflected in strong patient demand and in a high group-average Patient Net Promoter Score of above 70. Convenient locations, extended opening hours and on-line appointments enhance patient access and convenience and an outstanding in-centre experience underpins patient trust and loyalty. Pacific Smiles expands its network of dental centres via a roll-out of new centres each year, typically in busy retail hubs that are popular with the local community for shopping, dining, entertainment and other services. The roll-out of new centres has been focused on suburban locations in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra over recent years. Operations Overview and Highlights During 2017, management added a total of 11 new Pacific Smiles Dental Centres and one new nib Dental Centre, all in busy shopping centres and providing patient access seven days a week. The 11 new Pacific Smiles Dental Centres are at Mt Gravatt, Redbank Plains and Strathpine in South East Queensland, at Mill Park, Mulgrave, Ringwood and Werribee in Victoria and at Belrose, Brookvale, Campbelltown and Marrickville in New South Wales. As has been the strategy for the last few years, the roll-out of new Pacific Smiles Dental Centres was focused on existing and adjacent geographic regions to realise efficiencies and benefits in our operations and marketing. The new nib Dental Care Centre is at Erina on the Central Coast of New South Wales. The rationale underlying the development of a new nib Centre in a region with an established network of Pacific Smiles Dental Centres is linked to the refinement of the relationship with nib to position no-gap dental check-ups as a benefit exclusively available to nib customers from nib branded Dental Care Centres. Both the nib Dental Care Centres and the Pacific Smiles Dental Care Centres are now included in the nib First Choice provider network. While it is too early to precisely predict the long-term impact of these changes, the no-gap check-up benefit, now available exclusively at nib Dental Care Centres, should be very attractive to nib customers. In addition to the accelerated new centre roll-out and the refinement of the nib arrangements, there were a number of value-adding initiatives introduced during the year to enhance support and development of dentists and to encourage more patients to attend our centres for their dental care requirements. With regard to dentists, the inaugural dentist education and development conference was held, and a bolstered Dental Advisory Committee with elected dentist representatives was launched, as was a dentist graduate development program with experienced mentor dentists. These enhancements to the value proposition for dentists have contributed to a 27% improvement in the 12-month rolling retention rate for dentists. 4 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP NUMBER OF CENTRES 70 58 49 41 34 31 28 25 19 17 FY 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 PATIENT FEES $m 147 134 123 95 96 86 70 60 49 40 FY 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 The roll-out of new Pacific Smiles Dental Centres was focused on existing and adjacent geographic regions to realise efficiencies and benefits in our operations and marketing. CASE STUDY PACIFIC SMILES: IMPROVING ORAL HEALTH Various studies demonstrate links between oral health and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Two forms of dental disease, tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease, feature in the World Health Organisation’s Chronic Diseases. However, there is limited awareness in the community of the importance of oral health. In setting a True Purpose of improving the oral health of ALL Australians to world’s best, Pacific Smiles is seeking to raise the profile of oral health as a vital aspect of whole of body health. ANNUAL REPORT 2017 5 CASE STUDY PACIFIC SMILES: A PART OF THE COMMUNITY Each one of our dental centres identify themselves as an important part of the local community, providing extended- hours care in easily accessible locations. Dental Centre staff and management participate in shopping centre activities, provide sponsorship to local sporting teams and engage in local community events. In some of our locations, our staff visit local kindergartens and child care centres to provide important education on dental care. Our much loved character ‘Toothy’, makes regular appearances in many of our communities too. 6 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW CONTINUED Group Financial Performance $ millions Revenue Gross profit EBITDA EBIT Net profit after tax Operating metrics Number of Dental Centres Commissioned Dental Chairs Patient Fees ($m) Same-Centre Patient Fees growth Financial metrics Earnings per share (cents) EBITDA margin EBITDA to Patient Fees margin EBIT margin Underlying 2017 Underlying 2016 Change 9.8% 9.4% 6.3% 1.6% 1.3% 20.7% 13.6% 9.8% 1.3% 91.5 85.9 20.9 14.9 10.3 70 276 147.0 3.8% 6.8 22.9% 14.2% 16.3% 83.3 78.5 19.7 14.6 10.2 58 243 133.8 5.0% 6.7 23.6% 14.7% 17.6% Adjustments to the Statutory Income Statement Statutory net profit after tax Severance costs Major dental centre relocations – once-off costs Income tax effect of adjustments Underlying statutory net profit after tax 2017 $ million 2016 $ million 10.0 0.4 (0.1) 10.3 9.9 – 0.4 (0.1) 10.2 For patient attraction and retention the emphasis this year was on introducing solutions to help with the affordability of dental care. This is in keeping with our True Purpose to improve the oral health of ALL Australians to world’s best. This included collaborative marketing initiatives with nib and separately with Medibank and ahm to encourage their customers to attend our centres to make use of no-gap benefits, if applicable. It also extended to awareness campaigns in relation to the Child Dental Benefit Schedule, a program for which about 3 million Australian children are eligible. Approximately 27,000 services were provided by dentists at dental centres owned and operated by Pacific Smiles under this beneficial Commonwealth Government program. In addition, there was in-house development and piloting of a dental plan product for patients without private health insurance and a new arrangement with zipMoney to allow patients access to interest-free funds for required dental treatments. Both of these initiatives are in their formative stages and will be rolled out more comprehensively in 2018. Other key highlights of 2017 included the establishment of a central data warehouse for dental centre and corporate data access and reporting. Completion of the data warehouse will allow faster and more effective business insights and greater business efficiencies. The two large dental centres acquired from Medibank Private and rebranded as Pacific Smiles Dental Centres in 2014 and relocated during 2016 continued to underperform, although the centre now located in The Galeries at Town Hall showed marked improvement towards the end of the year and is well positioned for growth in 2018. The Parramatta centre remains a challenge and we are continuing to explore ways to improve performance of this centre. Other key highlights of 2017 included the establishment of a central data warehouse for dental centre and corporate data access and reporting. ANNUAL REPORT 2017 7 EBITDA (UNDERLYING) $M 20.9 19.7 19% CAGR 17.6 15.1 13.3 10.2 8.0 6.8 5.0 4.4 FY 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Interim Dividend Final Dividend Special Dividend DIVIDENDS (cps) 12.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Statutory Results Financial Position The Group achieved statutory Net Profit After Tax of $10.0 million, up by 1% from $9.9 million in 2016. During 2017, the statutory results were impacted by once-off severance costs and in 2016 by once-off costs associated with two major dental centre relocations. To assist with the year to year comparison, further discussion of the results in this Managing Director’s Review focuses on both the statutory and the underlying results for 2017 and the comparative period. Underlying and Statutory Results Underlying EBITDA increased by 6.3% to $20.9 million compared with 2016 underlying EBITDA. Underlying Net Profit After Tax of $10.3 million was 1% higher than the previous year due to the accelerated roll-out of new dental centres increasing depreciation by 20% in 2017. Group revenue was $91.5 million, up by 9.8% over the previous financial year driven by higher service fee revenue charged from dentists, off the back of the increased patient fees generated by the dentists practising from our dental centres during the year. Same-centre growth of 3.8%, plus a full year effect from new centres opened in 2016 and part-year impact of new centre openings in 2017, resulted in patient fees increasing 9.8% over the previous year to $147 million. The Group’s underlying EBITDA to Patient Fees margin in 2017 of 14.2% was slightly lower than the 14.7% achieved in 2016. Although Pacific Smiles achieved strong same-centre growth in 2017, this was lower than expected due to the underperformance of the centres acquired from Medibank Private. They are positive contributors, but at lower margins than is usual for large, mature centres and are therefore dilutive to overall margin. The accelerated dental centre roll-out strategy also impacts Group profitability in the short term, as Pacific Smiles’ Dental Centres are typically not profitable in the first year of operation. The 2017 new openings have performed in line with expectations and like the centres opened in prior years, will be strong contributors to long-term growth and profit margins over time. In line with Pacific Smiles’ long-term growth strategy, total capital expenditure was $13.6 million, which included $10.3 million for new dental centres and $1.1 million for additional surgeries in existing centres. In 2017 modest borrowings supplemented the strong operating cashflows and cash reserves to continue the expansion of the dental centre network and upgrading of existing facilities, equipment and systems. Pacific Smiles increased ordinary dividends with $8.7 million paid to shareholders, compared with $8.1 million in ordinary dividends in FY2016. After considering the final dividend declared of 3.7 cents per share in relation to 2017, which will be paid in October 2017, the dividend payout increased to 87.2% of underlying Net Profit After Tax (2016 was 82.3% of underlying Net Profit After Tax). The Market The market for dental services in Australia is approximately $9 billion per annum and the market has grown steadily over the long term. Funding for dental services is predominantly from individuals, however private health insurance participation supports dental attendances and spending through co-payment arrangements. The industry is highly fragmented with the majority of providers operating from small- scale single locations, although corporate activity in the sector is increasing. There are more branded networks, including some owned and operated by private health insurance organisations, who market to their own members to encourage them to attend. During the year there was no material change to direct government funding to the private sector for delivery of dental services. The Child Dental Benefit Schedule and some partnership arrangements with the States and Territories continue to be the main funding programs of the Commonwealth Government; albeit a very small proportion of the total market. The other major feature of the market is the continued growth in the number of registered dentists. The increase in recent years has been the combined impact of overseas trained dentists and local graduates. The number of registered dentists was 16,684 in March 2017, up by 2.9% from a year earlier. 8 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW CONTINUED CASE STUDY PACIFIC SMILES: HELPING THOSE MOST IN NEED Pacific Smiles is the major sponsor of the National Dental Foundation (NDF), a charitable organisation that facilitates the provision of pro bono dental treatment to those in our society who cannot access timely dental care. NDF does so by working closely with many Australian charities to identify those in our communities who will benefit from a positive dental intervention, then matching those persons in need with dentists who are prepared to provide pro bono care. As well as being the major sponsor of this wonderful organisation, many dentists and staff at dental centres operated by Pacific Smiles provide their time and expertise to deliver pro bono care under the National Dental Foundation arrangements. ANNUAL REPORT 2017 9 CASE STUDY PACIFIC SMILES: WORKING WITH DENTISTS TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM VALUE TO PATIENTS Most dentists practising from Pacific Smiles Dental Centres participate in preferred provider schemes with private health insurers and in commonwealth and state government programs for eligible patients. Programs such as these assist patients with the affordability of dental services and treatments. Arrangements recently put in place with zipMoney allow patients to pay for treatments in instalments. A trial of a dental plan program is also underway to allow patients to pay monthly for their recommended check-ups and required treatments. The aim is to make dental care more affordable for more people in the communities we serve. 10 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW CONTINUED The following risk areas and mitigating factors have been identified by Pacific Smiles: Risk Area Mitigating Factors General economic conditions – downturns in general economic conditions could adversely impact demand for dental services, given the discretionary nature of some of those services. Dentists at Pacific Smiles’ Dental Centres provide a range of treatments to patients in a number of different geographic zones throughout the eastern states of Australia. Reduction in private health insurance coverage – changes to the nature or extent of private health insurance coverage could impact upon the attendance frequency of patients. Patients at Pacific Smiles’ Dental Centres are a mix of privately insured and non-insured individuals and there are payment plans and treatment payment options available. Competition-induced fee pressure – an increase in the number of practicing dentists could increase competition for patients and the degree to which dentists compete on the basis of fee levels. Termination of Service and Facility Agreements by dentists – under the Service and Facility Agreements between Pacific Smiles and dentists, the dentists may terminate without cause, on a few months’ notice. Reputational damage – actions by employees or dentists could give rise to reputational damage to Pacific Smiles and its brands. Pacific Smiles’ Dental Centres are usually differentiated from other local providers and compete on the basis of convenience, value, access and overall patient experience. Pacific Smiles views the dentists as a key customer group and focuses resources accordingly, with increased focus on this area in FY2018. There is a close focus on internal procedures and clinical governance by management and the Board. This has been further enhanced with new internal and external appointments to the Dental Advisory Committee. Business Strategy Outlook Our True Purpose is to improve the oral health of ALL Australians to world’s best. From a business strategy perspective, this means continued expansion of the two branded dental networks via a carefully planned roll-out strategy focused on busy community hubs such as popular shopping centres, which patients can easily access to attend to their dental care needs. The roll-out strategy facilitates consistency of operations and market positioning. The rollout has been accelerated in recent years and this has delivered a multi-state presence at scale, increasingly clustered in suburban locations around the capital cities of the eastern states. We anticipate continued investment into these clusters via the development of new dental centres and commissioning of additional dental chairs in existing centres. Ultimately, business success depends on attracting and retaining patients and this is achieved through innovative marketing, private health insurance collaboration, extended hours of operations, motivated and caring staff and dentists and the delivery of a superior in-centre and post- visit experience. Initiatives in these areas are very much the strategic focus for Pacific Smiles. The outlook is for a continued roll-out of branded dental centres in new and adjacent geographic clusters throughout the eastern states and territories of Australia, as we scale to our long- term dental network potential of at least 250 centres. Ongoing refinement of site selection, centre presentation, patient marketing and staff, and dentist development and training will be the focus as we strive for continuous improvement of the patient experience at our Pacific Smiles Dental Centres and nib Dental Care Centres. We will continue to collaborate with private health insurers to encourage those with extras insurance to attend the dentist regularly as an important part of their oral health program. We will also attract patients without health insurance through payment plans and via government funding for those eligible. Accessible locations, extended opening hours and affordable solutions, combined with a superior patient experience, will deliver market share gain in the catchments we serve. As we continue to scale and as recent years of new centre cohorts mature, we will generate increased revenues and improved profitability. Corporate and operational efficiency gains will accrue from the increased scale and through strategic investments in technology and process improvements, over time. Pacific Smiles will pursue its true purpose of improving the oral health of ALL Australians to world’s best, without compromising the professional and ethical standards that have defined the organisation from the start. Risk Management Pacific Smiles is subject to various risk factors, both business-specific and of a general nature. Pacific Smiles has not identified any specific, material exposure to its economic, social or environmental sustainability over the long term. Pacific Smiles has established policies and structures for oversight and management of material business risks.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 19 (b) Remuneration governance The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is a committee of the Board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on: • • • • the over arching executive remuneration framework; operation of the incentive plans which apply to the senior management team, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles; remuneration packages for the Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director and senior management; and remuneration arrangements for Non-Executive Directors. The Committee’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Group. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter, included on the Company’s website at www.pacificsmilesgroup.com.au, provides further information on the role of this committee. (c) Executive remuneration policy and framework In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practises are: • • • • competitive and reasonable, enabling the Group to attract and retain key talent; aligned to the Group’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value; transparent; and acceptable to shareholders. The executive remuneration framework has three components: • base salary and benefits, including superannuation; • • short-term performance incentives (“STI”) plan; and a long-term equity incentive (“LTI”) plan. Base salary and benefits Base salaries are reviewed annually or upon any substantial changes to positions. There are no guaranteed pay increases included in any key management personnel contracts. Base salary includes any elected salary sacrifice arrangements as individually nominated. Base salary is inclusive of required superannuation contributions. Short-term performance incentives Executives have the opportunity to earn an annual short-term incentive (STI) linked to the achievement of performance hurdles. The actual level of STI paid to each executive is determined at the end of the financial year based on the executive’s achievement of specific KPIs and an annual performance review. Targets are reviewed annually. The executive STI plan performance criteria are summarised below: Achieve Group net profit before tax targets Individual performance metrics (financial and non-financial) Maximum STI for full achievement of targets Exceptional performance bonus for over-achievement of net profit before tax target Total maximum STI % of Base Salary Up to 12.5% Up to 7.5% Up to 20.0% Up to 15.0% Up to 35.0% Ongoing participation by executives in the STI plan is at the discretion of the Board. With reference to recommendations from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board will approve all executive STI payments; and may use its discretion to adjust STI remuneration up or down, to prevent any inappropriate reward outcomes. The STI amounts are paid in cash, and are those earned during the financial year and provided for in the annual financial statements. STI cash bonuses are generally payable in September following the end of the financial year, and once the financial results of the year have been subject to independent external audit. 20 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2017 Long-term equity incentives The Group has an LTI plan to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of executives. The LTI plan is designed to align the interests of senior management more closely with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for senior management to receive an equity interest in the Company through the granting of performance rights. Performance rights have been issued to selected senior managers pursuant to the LTI plan in financial years 2017, 2016 and 2015. Vesting of the performance rights on issue is subject to: • • satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for a four-year performance period. The number of performance rights vesting will be determined on a sliding scale from nil vesting for an EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.0% per annum or less and 100% vesting for an EPS CAGR of 25.0% per annum; and the participant remaining employed by Pacific Smiles Group (or its subsidiaries) on the vesting date, subject to certain “good leaver” exemptions. Performance rights that do not vest on the relevant vesting date will lapse. Performance rights will also lapse if total shareholder return (TSR) does not reach a minimum of 10.0% per annum over the relevant performance period. In the event of serious misconduct or a material misstatement in the Group’s financial statements, the Board may determine that certain performance-based remuneration (including STIs and/or LTIs) should not have been paid and may claw back performance- based remuneration paid in the preceding three financial years.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 31 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2017 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Corporate Information The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Pacific Smiles Group (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”). Pacific Smiles Group is a public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. On 21 November 2014, the Company was listed on the ASX. Its registered office and its principal place of business are located at 6 Molly Morgan Drive, Greenhills, New South Wales. A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors’ Report on pages 15 to 26, which is not part of this financial report. The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 17 August 2017. The Company has the power to amend and reissue the financial report. (b) Basis of Preparation Statement of Compliance The principal accounting policies adopted in preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Pacific Smiles Group is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical Cost Convention These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, include asset impairment testing. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations The Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the reporting period. Details of the impact of the adoption of these new accounting standards, where applicable, are set out in the individual accounting policy notes. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are not mandatory for 30 June 2017 reporting periods and have not been adopted early by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group is not required to adopt this new standard until the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2019 and currently has no intention of adopting this standard earlier. The potential impact of the standard has been assessed at this stage as minimal. AASB 16 Leases is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group is not required to adopt this new standard until the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2020 and currently has no intention of adopting this standard earlier. The Group is assessing the potential impact of the application of AASB 16 on its financial statements, including the potential impact of the various transition provisions available to the Group. On a high level basis, if the Group was to adopt AASB 16 as at 30 June 2017, the present value of the future minimum lease payments for non-cancellable operating leases as noted in note 24(b) would be recognised as a financial liability in the consolidated balance sheet; and under one of the transition provisions available to the Group, it would recognise a corresponding amount as a right-of-use asset. 32 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP AASB 9 Financial Instruments is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group is not required to adopt this new standard until the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2019 and currently has no intention of adopting this standard earlier. It includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. The potential impact of the standard has yet to be assessed, but the impact is expected to be minimal. There are no other such standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. (c) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Pacific Smiles Group (“Company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Pacific Smiles Group and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the “Group” or the “consolidated entity”. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. 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 (refer to note 1(h)). Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the parent entity. (d) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. (e) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised once the services have been provided and is measured in accordance with contractual calculation methods and rates. Revenue from the sale of goods is net of returns, discounts and other allowances, and is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered to pass to the buyer at the time when control of the goods passes to the customer in the case of the supply of non-customised products, or at the time a significant monetary deposit is taken in the case of customised products. Government subsidies are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the subsidy will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit and loss. (f) Income Tax The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretations. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transactions affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. ANNUAL REPORT 2017 33 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2017 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (f) Income Tax (continued) Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. (g) Leases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate of the finance balance outstanding. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases, net of incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (h) Business Combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed. The consideration also includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer to note 1(n)). Where contingent consideration is classified as a financial liability and amounts are subsequently re-measured to fair value, changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss. (i) Impairment of Assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested at least annually for impairment. Other assets, including those that are subject to depreciation or amortisation, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Cash inflows considered for the purposes of impairment testing are discounted to present value. Significant judgement has been used in testing assets for impairment and in determining the amounts recognised as impairment losses at reporting date. Further details of any material impairment losses recognised in the financial statements are provided in the notes dealing with the relevant asset category. 34 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2017 (j) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (k) Receivables Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment if applicable. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss within other expenses. When a receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit and loss. (l) Inventories Inventories held for sale and stores of consumable supplies are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of actual costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs associated with the sale. (m) Property, Plant and Equipment All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation, amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the costs of assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Leasehold improvements 10 to 20 years Plant and equipment 3 to 10 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (refer to note 1(i)). (n) Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of businesses is included in intangible assets. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to relevant cash-generating units (CGUs) for the purpose of impairment testing. Rights and Licences Contractual rights and licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the rights and licences over their estimated useful lives, being 15 years. (o) Payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. (p) Borrowings Borrowings are measured at amortised cost. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabilities for at least 12 months after the reporting period. ANNUAL REPORT 2017 35 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2017 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (q) Employee Benefits The employee benefits provisions cover the Group’s liability for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements. Short-Term Obligations Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. The liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. Long-Term Obligations The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The obligations are presented as a current liability in the balance sheet if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. Share-Based Payments Share-based compensation benefits are provided to selected employees via a Long-Term Incentive plan (LTI plan). Further information on the LTI plan is set out in note 21. The fair value of performance rights granted under the LTI plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the performance rights granted, which includes any market performance conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of performance rights that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are satisfied. At the end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of performance rights that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. (r) Provisions 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 pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Make Good Provision The Group is required to restore most leased premises to their original condition at the end of their respective lease terms. A provision has been recognised for the present value of the estimated expenditure required to remove any leasehold improvements and repair any associated damage. These costs have been capitalised as part of the cost of leasehold improvements and are amortised over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the assets. Onerous Contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. Restructuring A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring has either commenced or has been announced. Future operating losses are not provided for. 36 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2017 (s) Dividends Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date. (t) Earnings Per Share Basic Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: • the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. Diluted Earnings Per Share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: • • the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. (u) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (v) Rounding of Amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 (Rounding Instrument). Pursuant to this instrument, amounts in the Directors’ Report and Financial Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar. (w) Parent Entity Financial Information The financial information for the parent entity, Pacific Smiles Group, disclosed in note 30, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below. Investments In Subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Pacific Smiles Group. Tax Consolidation Legislation Pacific Smiles Group and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Pacific Smiles Group, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group, account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Pacific Smiles Group also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly–owned entities fully compensate Pacific Smiles Group for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Pacific Smiles Group for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Pacific Smiles Group under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ financial statements. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

Recoverable amounts of the CGUs exceeded their carrying values, and therefore no impairment losses were recorded in the year. The calculations use discounted cash flow projections covering a 10-year period, which is consistent with the typical lease term entered into for the Group’s dental centre locations. The cash flows for years one to five are based on detailed management projections, which consider historical financial results and trends, the Board-approved financial budget for the next financial year and reasonable expectations regarding future business and market circumstances. Cash flows beyond the first five-year period are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 5%. A longer-term growth rate of 2.5% is used in determining the terminal values, which is considered reasonable in the context of the long-term growth rates for the markets in which each CGU operates. Future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s weighted average cost of capital of 9.8% (2016: 9.7%). 13.

The total 6,062,500 performance rights on issue are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are contingently issuable ordinary shares and conditions were not satisfied at 30 June 2017. These performance rights could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. 21. Share-Based Payments (a) Long-Term Incentive Plan Overview The Group has established an LTI plan to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of senior management. The LTI plan is designed to align the interests of senior management more closely with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for senior management to receive an equity interest in the Company through the granting of performance rights. Performance rights have been issued to selected senior managers pursuant to the LTI plan in financial years 2017, 2016 and 2015. The performance rights will vest for a set term (the performance period), and are conditional on the achievement of relevant performance and service conditions. Vesting of the performance rights will be subject to: • • satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for a four year performance period. The number of performance rights vesting will be determined on a sliding scale from nil vesting for an EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.0% per annum or less and 100% vesting for an EPS CAGR of 25.0% per annum; and the participant remaining employed by Pacific Smiles Group (or its subsidiaries) on the vesting date, subject to certain “good leaver” exemptions.

Financial Risk Management Financial Risk Management Objectives The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework, and is supported by the Board Audit and Risk Management Committee. Senior management develops and monitors risk management policy, and reports regularly to the Directors on issues and compliance matters. Risk management principles and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group’s principal financial instruments during the 2017 and 2016 financials years comprised bank bills, bank loans and other loans, and cash. The main purpose of these instruments has been to raise finance for the Group’s operations and investments. The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade and other debtors and creditors, which arise directly from its operations. The Group does not trade in financial instruments. Market Risk The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates at the end of the year was minimal, with cash balances mostly offset by bank debt at 30 June. Cash balances are held in a combination of short-term fixed interest deposit accounts and other cheque and on-call accounts which attract variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate on cash balances at the end of the year was 0.97% (2016: 1.36%) for the Group. Variable rate bank loans totalling $5,000,000 form part of an ongoing loan facility which was updated during the financial year. The overall facility has a confirmed three year three month term which expires on 30 September 2020. The bills are subject to interest charged at the prevailing variable rate payable on each reset date. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at the end of the year was 5.12% (2016: 6.8%) for the Group. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis Effect on profit before tax and equity: 1% increase in interest rates 1% decrease in interest rates 2017 $’000 2016 $’000 7 (7) 61 (61) Credit Risk The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group does not have significant credit exposure to any one financial institution or customer. The credit risk on financial assets of the consolidated entity which have been recognised in the balance sheet is generally the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts. Liquidity Risk The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of working capital and bank borrowings. The Group aims to achieve this flexibility by keeping committed credit lines available. Opportunities to raise additional capital from shareholders are also considered where appropriate. Bank financing facilities are identified at note 15. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows to ensure sufficient liquidity is always available to meet liability obligations as they fall due. The Group’s balance sheet shows an excess of current liabilities over current assets at balance date of $2,357,000. Liabilities have been classified as current where it is probable that they will be settled within 12 months or if there is a contractual obligation that may require settlement within 12 months, regardless of how likely settlement under contractual arrangements is judged to be. The Group’s current assets, available financing facilities and ongoing positive operating cash flows continue to be sufficient to satisfy all payment obligations within the timeframes required. 50 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2017 Maturities of Financial Liabilities The following tables show the maturity groupings of gross (undiscounted) payment obligations under contracts for financial liabilities.

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 55 Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matters we identified are: • Revenue recognition • Carrying value of intangible assets Revenue recognition ($91,471,000) Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report. Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit • • • A substantial amount of the Group’s revenue relates to revenue from the rendering of services, being service fees charged to dentists who practice from the Group’s fully serviced dental surgeries. We focused on revenue recognition as a key audit matter due to the significant audit effort required to test the Group’s revenue, including: The high volume of transactions recorded as revenue; Our procedures included: • • Evaluating the Group’s processes for capturing and recognising revenue in accordance with accounting standards. Testing the application of key controls in the revenue calculation process, including: - Daily bank account reconciliations; - Management’s review and approval of monthly revenue calculations; The significant value of revenue recognised; and - Management’s review and authorisation of payments to dentists; and The opening of 12 new dental centres during the current year. - Selecting a sample of services fees charged to dentists and agreeing them to contractual terms. • We applied analytical procedures by: - - Comparing total patient fees received as cash receipts to revenue recognised during the year; and Assessing revenue recognised against budget, prior year and historical trends for new centres opened during the year. 56 PACIFIC SMILES GROUP INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED Carrying value of intangible assets ($11,409,000) Refer to Note 12 to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit Carrying value of intangible assets, including goodwill, was identified as a key audit matter due to: • • The size of the balance, being 17% of total assets; and The significant level of judgement involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows, which form the basis for assessing whether intangible assets are impaired. We focused on the significant forward-looking assumptions the Group applied in their value-in- use model, including: • Forecast operating cash flows, growth rates and terminal growth rates – the Group has experienced competitive market conditions with varying levels of year on year sales growth across centres of varying maturity and geographic regions. These conditions increase the possibility of intangible assets being impaired, plus the risk of inaccurate forecasts or a wider range of possible outcomes for us to consider; and • Discount rate - these are complicated in nature and vary according to the conditions and environment the Group is subject to from time to time and the models approach to incorporating risks into the cash flows or discount rates. The Group’s modelling is sensitive to changes in the discount rate. The Group has a large number of individual dental centre locations, which includes 12 new centres opened during the financial year, necessitating our consideration of the Group’s determination of Cash Generating Units (CGU), based on the smallest group of assets to generate largely independent cash inflows. Our procedures included: • We considered the appropriateness of the value-in-use method applied by the Group to perform the annual impairment testing of intangible assets against the requirements of the accounting standards, including: - - - - - Assessing the integrity of the model used, including the accuracy of the underlying calculation formulas; Assessing the Group’s allocation of corporate assets to CGUs and the allocation of corporate costs to the forecast cash flows contained in the model, for consistency; Comparing forecast cash flows contained in the model to Board approved forecasts; Assessing the accuracy of previous Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the model; and Considering the sensitivity of the model by varying key assumptions, such as forecast growth rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates, within a reasonably possible range, to identify those CGUs at higher risk of impairment and to focus our further procedures. • We analysed the Group’s discount rate against publicly available data of a group of comparable entities. • We considered the Group’s determination of their CGUs (including the allocation of the 12 new centres to CGUs) based on our understanding of the operations of the Group’s business and how independent cash inflows were generated, against the requirements of the accounting standards. • We assessed the disclosures in the financial report using our understanding of the issue obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.
