The financial year ended 30th June 2021 was again challenging in terms of a COVID-19 disrupted business environment. This required the Company to fully draw on all of its resources to ensure progress across several business initiatives. The team at Paragon Care have performed exceptionally at all levels and have assisted in the re-establishment of solid growth strategies within the four pillar businesses of Devices, Diagnostics, Capital & Consumables, and Service & Technology. All pillars are now fully established and profitable. The senior management team, led by Phil Nicholl, continued to grow revenues, expand gross margins and reduce costs during the year. More specifically: • EBITDA was up 16% on the normalised performance last year • • • • Net operating cash flow increased 5-fold to $27.5m Net Profit After Tax at $8.3 million was very strong Net Debt reduced 7% year on year Earnings per Share was 2.45c In addition, one of the key highlights of the FY21 financial results was the re-establishment of dividends for the first time in two years. The declaration of a 1c per share final dividend clearly indicates the Board’s confidence in the Company’s future, despite the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 lockdowns and business disruptions. The Company’s planned expansion into the significant Chinese blood reagent market was announced in June 2021 and work has commenced on building business relationships with our Chinese partners. The Company’s intellectual property in this market sector is world-class and although revenues are still sometime away, we view China as an attractive growth market for our diagnostic products over the longer term. Our new three-year banking facility with National Australia Bank (NAB) was successfully finalised during the year and this now provides the Company with a solid runway for future growth. The relationship with NAB is strong and the Company values this relationship. Our international suppliers, who trust Paragon Care with the sales, distribution and servicing of their high-tech medical equipment, continue to benefit from the strength of Paragon Care’s competitive advantages and reach through its exceptional relationships with most of Australia’s major hospitals and health networks. Paragon Care now distributes for over 100 overseas equipment manufacturers. On behalf of the Board, I would like to again thank our shareholders, suppliers, medical equipment partners and of course our great in-house team for their continued support. The Company enters the 2022 financial year with confidence, despite the ongoing challenges of the current global pandemic. Yours faithfully, Shane Tanner Chairman PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 20216 CEO Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 CEO Report Dear Shareholders, We are very pleased to deliver these strong FY21 results, with improved cash flow and profitability, in a challenging external environment. These results validate our hard work over the past year to implement continuous improvement processes throughout the Company and to diversify our revenue streams across product lines and geographies. Overview of FY21 Financial Results Paragon Care delivered a solid financial performance in FY21 with strong growth across all key performance metrics. Revenue in FY21 was $235.8m, up 2% from $231.7m in FY20, which was a pleasing result in a COVID-19 disrupted business environment. Pleasingly, growth in the Devices pillar and the expansion of revenue from New Zealand was enough to offset the COVID-19 related adverse impacts in our aged care related businesses in FY21. Gross profit margins improved slightly to 38.3% in FY21, up from 37.5% in FY20, due to a change in the sales mix away from lower margin product sales, such as personal protective equipment, and increased sales of higher margin sales in the Diagnostic and Devices Product Line. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation increased to $26.5m in FY21, a 16% increase compared with the normalised result last year. The improvement reflects the successful execution of improved operating processes and disciplined cost control. The Company has achieved a structurally lower cost base through the successfully completed cost rationalisation program, which has now transitioned into a business- as-usual approach focused on best practice and streamlined operations. The net profit after tax result of $8.3m represents earnings per share of 2.45 cents. Operating cash flow increased by 419% to $27.5m in FY21 up from $5.3m in FY20. This was primarily driven by a tighter working capital cycle. All remaining vendor earn-outs relating to prior acquisitions totalling $15.3m were paid in FY21 and the Company is now free of contingent vendor payments. In FY22, we expect a return to normal trading conditions, under which operating cash flow will be aligned with earnings. Overview of Operations We continue to make good progress operationally. Our facilities consolidation is on track and we are leveraging our buying power to gain efficiencies around freight. Our supply and operations planning initiatives have been challenged due to the COVID-19 related disruptions and we are yet to realise the benefit of this in our inventory management which we expect to see in FY22. In May 2021, Paragon Care announced that the Company’s banking facilities were successfully renegotiated with NAB. The new 3-year banking contract extends to July 2024 and the new covenants were designed to support the future growth of the business. This enables Paragon Care to resume dividends and explore acquisition opportunities. Over the past year, we established a four pillar structure to provide a solid foundation for future growth. Devices The Devices pillar had strong revenue growth of 15% in FY21 to $85.8m, due to a significant increase in elective surgery undertaken this year compared to last year. In addition, product sales relating to diagnostic equipment, including Ophthalmology and Angio product lines, strengthened. Diagnostics The Diagnostic pillar had solid revenue growth of 11% in FY21 to $25.9m. This growth was driven by the expansion of the product range into transplant and laboratory related products, as well as COVID testing related product sales. Stronger growth across the Australian market generally offset sales through export distribution. Capital & Consumables The Capital & Consumables pillar experienced difficult trading conditions in many markets in FY21. Despite this, revenue was only down by 0.5% year on year to $105.2m, due to stronger custom procedure packs sales and imaging equipment sales. Service & Technology The Service & Technology pillar was significantly impacted by COVID-19 business disruptions in FY21 with year on year revenue down by 31.7% to $19m. The aged care portfolio continues to be adversely impacted with most residential aged care providers not focused on technology rollouts and upgrades. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021CEO Report Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 7 Expansion in China On 2 June 2021, Paragon Care announced that its Diagnostics business, Immulab, entered into a joint venture with Jiangsu Zojiwat Bio-Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd, a Chinese healthcare company, for the distribution of Immulab’s proprietary in vitro diagnostics blood bank reagents in China. These reagents are world class products, originally developed by CSL Ltd and acquired by Paragon Care in 2018. Paragon Care will work together with its Chinese partner to complete patient trials in at least three domestic clinical institutions, in line with the recommended National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approval process, which is expected to take approximately two years. The opportunity for Paragon Care in this new market is very significant. I would like to thank our dedicated team for their hard work and resilience in a challenging year. We have a strong management team which is comprised of former business owners, and complemented by new capabilities in People and Culture and Operations. Our KPI’s which cascade throughout the organisation are fully aligned to ensure that the team is all working together towards a common goal. Outlook In FY22, management is focused on expanding its product range and attracting new agency agreements. There is also a focus on cross divisional selling to fully leverage the maturing pillar structure. Under this streamlined cost structure, with business-as-usual continuous improvement and improved inventory management, we are working towards 15% EBITDA margins. We are further developing initiatives around talent retention and development and we are ready for growth in aged care in a post-COVID economy. We have taken the first steps in our China growth strategy and we are now investing for growth to expand our extensive portfolio of best-in-breed med-tech solutions. Phil Nicholl CEO Paragon Care PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 20218 Directors’ Report For the year ended 30 June 2021 Directors’ Report The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the ‘Group’) consisting of Paragon Care Limited (referred to hereafter as the ‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2021. Directors The following persons were directors of Paragon Care Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated: Shane Tanner Geoffrey Sam OAM Brent Stewart Mark Simari Paul Li (appointed 27 January 2021) Bruce Bian (resigned 20 August 2020) Non-Executive Chairman Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Former Non-Executive Director Principal Activities The principal continuing activity of the Group is supply of durable medical equipment, medical devices and consumable medical product to the health and aged care markets throughout Australia and New Zealand. There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group that occurred during the year. Dividends There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year. Review of operations The profit for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $8,279,000 (30 June 2020: loss of $77,269,000). Revenue from continuing operations Revenue Cost of sales Gross profit Gross profit margin % Other income Operating expenses Normalised earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘Adjusted EBITDA’) Abnormal expenses Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (‘EBITDA’) Depreciation and amortisation Interest expense Profit/(loss) before tax Tax (expense)/benefit Profit/(loss) after tax from continuing operations Loss after tax from discontinued operations Loss after tax for the year attributable to owners Change from FY 20 % 2% 1% 4% 16% 2021 $’000 235,840 (145,527) 90,313 38.3% 1,508 (65,278) 26,543 - 26,543 (6,200) (8,012) 12,331 (4,052) 8,279 - 8,279 2020 $’000 231,689 (144,874) 86,815 37.5% 320 (64,232) 22,903 (84,989) (62,086) (8,053) (7,064) (77,203) 5,603 (71,600) (5,669) (77,269) PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 Directors’ Report Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 Revenue growth despite continue COVID-19 impacts Share Capital Reduction 9 Revenue for the year reached $235.8 million (2020: $231.7 million) which, given the impact of COVID-19 and numerous suspensions of elective surgery during the year, was pleasing to see and consistent with the company refocusing on growth after several years of difficult trading. Gross profit margin recovered during the year Gross profit margins improved slightly to 38.3% in FY21, up from 37.5% in FY20, due to a change in the sales mix away from lower margin product sales, such as personal protective equipment, and increased sales of higher margin sales in the Devices and Diagnostic Product Line. EBITDA increased by 15.9% compared to FY20 Adjusted EBITDA In FY21, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 16% to $26.5m, as a result of stronger revenues and margins but also reflecting the successful execution of improved operating processes and disciplined cost control. The Group continues to be focused on building capabilities in the product verticals of Devices, Diagnostics, Capital & Consumable, Services and Technology and on focusing these capabilities into profitable market segments. The rationalisation of product lines, focus on customer service and empowerment of our highly dedicated and skilled staff will result in stronger growth and profitability as the Group and economy in general recovers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant changes in the state of affairs The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and it is not practicable to estimate the potential continuing impact after the reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the State and Federal Governments and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided. Sale of land and buildings The land and buildings situated at 19-21 Peninsula Boulevard, Seaford VIC was sold for $1.8 million on 3 August 2020. Banking facilities On 26 August 2020, the Group received approval from its bankers for an amendment to its banking facilities. This has resulted in a relaxation of the Group’s obligation to comply with the existing facility covenants through to September 2021. In May 2021, Paragon Care announced that the Company’s banking facilities were successfully renegotiated with NAB. The new 3-year banking contract extends to July 2024 and the new covenants were designed to support the future growth of the business. This enables Paragon Care to resume dividends and explore acquisition opportunities. The company reduced its share capital by $88,766,000 in accordance with Section 258F of the Corporations Act. The capital reduction will have the effect of reducing the share capital account and reducing Paragon Care’s accumulated accounting losses. This is a technical adjustment which does not require shareholder approval and allows the Company to pay future franked dividends. The capital reduction has no impact on the Group’s assets, nets assets, financial results, cash flow or funding or that of the Group. The number of shares on issue will not change as a result of the capital reduction. Under section 258F(1) of the Corporations Act, a company may reduce its share capital without shareholder approval by cancelling any paid-up share capital that is not represented by available assets. The deficiency in Paragon Care’s assets arose as a result of the impairment and subsequent sale of the Axis Health businesses in FY19 and further the impairment and write-off of assets in FY20 as a result of the business restructure undertaken during FY20. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year Outside of the dividend declared below, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. Likely developments and expected results of operations Information on likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of operations have not been included in this report because the directors believe it would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. Environmental regulation The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law. Dividends declared In keeping with Directors confidence in Paragon Care, the directors have declared the payment of a fully franked final dividend of $3,378,853 (1 cents per fully paid ordinary share) to be paid on 1st of October 2021 in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2021. The dividend will be paid to all shareholders on the register of members as at the Record Date of 14th of September 2021. This dividend has not been included as a liability in these financial statements. The dividend of 1 cents per fully paid ordinary share for the 2021 financial year and represents a 41% payout of NPAT which is in line with the 40% to 60% company dividend payment policy. Dividend reinvestment plan Paragon Care operates a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) that enables shareholders to elect to reinvest all, or up to a portion of, their dividends into additional shares in Paragon. Shares will be issued at the lower of 25.0 cents per share and the price derived by applying a discount of 5% to the volume weighted average market price of shares sold on the ASX over the 5 trading days commencing on and inclusive of the Ex-Dividend Date (13th of September 2021), subject to the discretion of the Board to determine the market price in certain circumstances. The dividend payment will be fully underwritten by Taylor Collison Limited and therefore not impact the company’s cash or net debt position.

PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 202112 Directors’ Report Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 Remuneration Report (audited) The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration • Details of remuneration • Service agreements • Share-based compensation • • Additional information Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of reward. The Board of Directors (‘the Board’) ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: • competitiveness and reasonableness • acceptability to shareholders In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director remuneration is separate. Non-executive directors remuneration Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives. ASX listing rules require the aggregate non-executive directors’ remuneration be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was at an Annual General Meeting and came into effect on 1 July 2018. Shareholders approved a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $450,000. Executive remuneration The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components. The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: • base pay and non-monetary benefits • short-term performance incentives • share-based payments • other remuneration such as superannuation and long service • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation leave • transparency The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel. In consultation with external remuneration consultants (refer to the section ‘Use of remuneration consultants’ below), the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group. The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders’ interests. The Board has considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders’ interests by: • having economic profit as a core component of plan design • focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value • attracting and retaining high calibre executives The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration. Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations. Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive. Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration The consolidated entity performance is not directly linked to remuneration. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

General information The financial statements cover Paragon Care Limited as a Group consisting of Paragon Care Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year. Paragon Care Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘Group’. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Paragon Care Limited’s functional and presentation currency. Paragon Care Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business are: Registered office Level 4 96-100 Albert Road South Melbourne VIC 3205 Principal place of business Waterman Business Centres Suite 46, 44 Lakeview Drive Scoresby VIC 3179 A description of the nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities are included in the directors’ report, which is not part of the financial statements. The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 27 August 2021. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. NOTE 2. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Change in expense classification During the year, the Group modified the classification of certain expenses to reflect the financial performance of the Group more appropriately. Comparative amounts in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been restated for consistency. The effect on the comparative expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the modification are as follows: Year ended 30 June 2020 Employee benefits expense Depreciation and amortisation expense Distribution expenses Marketing expenses Occupancy expenses Other expenses Administration Allowance for expected credit losses Loss after tax for the year attributable to owners Current classification $’000 46,678 8,053 4,186 3,434 1,269 15,124 - - 78,744 Previous classification $’000 - - 3,500 1,710 2,010 - 70,584 940 78,744 Change $’000 46,678 8,053 686 1,724 (741) 15,124 (70,584) (940) - PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 29 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Foreign currency translation Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the 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, are disclosed in note 3. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 37. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Paragon Care Limited as at 30 June 2021 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Subsidiaries are all those 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. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Paragon Care Limited’s functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Company’s functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. Revenue recognition The Group recognises revenue as follows: Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the ‘expected value’ or ‘most likely amount’ method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability. Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. Interest Operating segments Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 30 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Government grants Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.are intended to compensate. Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. Paragon Care Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, 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. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. The Group has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Inventories Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a ‘first in first out’ basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, import duties and other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based on normal operating capacity, and, where applicable, transfers from cash flow hedging reserves in equity. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Derivative financial instruments Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation. Cash flow hedges Cash flow hedges are used to cover the Group’s exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to particular risks associated with a recognised asset or liability or a firm commitment which could affect profit or loss. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income through the cash flow hedges reserve in equity, whilst the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts taken to equity are transferred out of equity and included in the measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast transaction occurs. Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a regular basis both retrospectively and prospectively to ensure that each hedge is highly effective and continues to be designated as a cash flow hedge. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amounts recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss. If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the hedge becomes ineffective and is no longer a designated hedge, the amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. Interest rate swaps Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. 31 Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities. Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Land Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Motor vehicles Not depreciated 3-10 years 3-7 years 3-5 years The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Right-of-use assets A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property are measured at fair value where the Group has adopted a fair value measurement basis for investment property assets. The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 32 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Borrowings and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period. Goodwill Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Website Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years. Customer contracts Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years. Software development Software development costs are capitalised only when incurred. Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefit over the useful life of the software. Research and development (‘R&D’) projects Research costs are expensed in the period they are incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only when incurred and when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the Group is able to use or sell the asset; the Group has sufficient resources and intent to complete the development; and its costs can be measured reliably. R&D projects are amortised when the items developed are ready for market use. They are amortised over the expected useful life of the items developed. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets 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. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 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. Lease liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. Finance costs Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Other long-term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on high-quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Share-based payments Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 202133 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Fair value measurement Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black- Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows: • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period. • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date. When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data. Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 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. All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability. Business combinations Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied. If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, the 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 remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent changes in the fair PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 202134 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Rounding of amounts 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 or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Paragon Care Limited, 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 financial 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 financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2021. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below. AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classifications of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current The amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and early adoption is permitted. This Standard amends AASB 101 to clarify requirements for the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non- current. For example, the amendments clarify that a liability is classified as non-current if an entity has the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The meaning of settlement of a liability is also clarified. At this time, the application of the amendments is not expected to have a material impact on the Group. NOTE 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, or may have, on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Allowance for expected credit losses The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience and historical collection rates. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 35 Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Lease term The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the Group’s operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. Business combinations As discussed in note 2, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the Group taking into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported. NOTE 4. Operating segments The Group operates within one operating segment only - Medical Equipment. The Medical Equipment segment supplies durable medical equipment and consumable medical product to hospitals, medical centres and aged care facilities in Australia predominantly. The Group does not have any other reporting segments. Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) Provision for impairment of inventories The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence. Fair value measurement hierarchy The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be subjective. The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs. Estimation of useful lives of assets The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. Income tax The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

These PRs have been granted in accordance with performance guidelines established by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The PRs vest in three tranches and are dependent upon achievement of market conditions over the vesting period. The fair value of the PRs is determined using the Binomial option pricing model that takes into account among other things, the exercise price, the term of the PR, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the PR. The share-based payments expense recognised for the year ended 30 June 2021 is $69,000 (30 June 2020: $nil). JobKeeper subsidy During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has received JobKeeper support payments from the Australian Government which are passed on to eligible employees. These have been recognised as a reduction in employee benefits expense in the financial statements. The JobKeeper payment scheme ran for the fortnights from 30 March 2020 until 27 September 2020. The Group was eligible for JobKeeper support from the government on the condition that employee benefits continue to be paid. NOTE 8.

In addition the Group had undertaken a review of historical software development and research and development and identified, closed and impaired the non-strategic projects undertaken during the past few years which it no longer believed will produce economic benefits in the future. The Group identified the costs associated with the ERP system implemented over the last two years required a write off and required a complete re-implementation. NOTE 10.

The Company has increased the allowance for obsolescence for most inventory held in excess of 9 months sales to 100% as well as writing off all inventory of product lines identified for rationalisation as a result of an inventory review undertaken as part of the Company’s ongoing restructure and as a result of the impacts of COVID-19. The policy now matches the Company’s new strategy of lean and agile sales and operations planning to reduce inventory holdings and warehouse space. Prior to the 2020 financial year, the Group previously provided for obsolescence in relation to inventory with no sales history ranging from 2 years up until 4 years at percentages ranging from 20% to 40%.

Intangibles (continued) Impairment testing Goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment. In testing whether goodwill is impaired, it is to be allocated to each cash generating unit (‘CGU’). In identifying the groups of assets that constitute a CGU, it is the smallest group that generates largely independent cash inflows and cannot be larger than the Group’s reportable operating segments before aggregation. Under AASB 136, paragraph 68, an asset’s cash-generating unit is the smallest group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets (or groups of assets). The Group views that its past business combinations giving rise to Goodwill on acquisition relate to synergistic opportunities for its medical equipment operating and reportable segment. Therefore, it has been determined that the Group has one CGU which also has a common management structure. The recoverable amount of the consolidated entity’s goodwill has been determined by a value-in-use calculation using a discounted cash flow model, based on a 2 year projection period approved by management and extrapolated for a further 3 years using a steady rate, together with a terminal value. Based on the discounted cash projections, the Company has anticipated positive operating cash flows generating a net present value $67 million more than the current book value as at 30 June 2021. Management believes the projected 4% revenue growth rate beyond the first 2 years is prudent and justified, based on the general slowing in the market. Discount rates applied to the future cashflows from the business have been reduced from 30 June 2020 following the increase on 2019 due to the increased general business risk associated with the economic downturn being experienced across the economy at that time due to COVID. The pre- tax discount rate of 12.5% has been used (14.6% in 2020) reflecting the decreased general business risk. Key assumptions used for the discounted cash flow projections: Revenue growth rate beyond first 2 years Pre-tax discount rate Terminal growth rate Sensitivity Rate % 4.00% 12.5% 1.25% As disclosed in note 3, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. The calculations for discounted cashflow valuation of the business on the value in use of the business were subject to sensitivity testing. This testing included a test case for 5% lower sales which resulted in an operating cash flow generating a net present value of $205.8 million, $13.7million more than the current book value and a test case for 5% higher Operating Expenses which resulted in an operating cash flow generating a net present value of $221.2 million, $29.2 million more than the carrying value. All things being equal, either the revenue growth rate would need to drop from 4% to 2.64% or the pre-tax discount rate would need to increase from 12.5% to 16.2% for the recoverable amount to equal the carrying amount. Management believes that other reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill is based would not cause the cash-generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. If there are any negative changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of goodwill is based, this would result in a further impairment charge for goodwill.

Assets pledged as security The Company has entered into a trade finance facility agreement with National Australia Bank to facilitate the importation of goods into Australia from overseas. Individual import transactions are financed for a period not exceeding 180 days after the arrival of goods in Australia. This facility has been extended as part of the Company’s overall banking arrangements with National Australia Bank and is therefore covered by the charge. Unlike the bank loans this revolving trade finance facility does not have a reducing principal balance and is continuously utilised to provide a source of working capital more closely matching the inventory life cycle of imported products. On 26 August 2020, the Group received approval from its bankers for an amendment to its banking facilities. This has resulted in a relaxation of the Group’s obligation to comply with the existing facility covenants through to September 2021. In May 2021, Paragon Care announced that the Company’s banking facilities were successfully renegotiated with NAB. The new 3-year banking contract extends to July 2024 and the new covenants were designed to support the future growth of the business.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote. Capital Reduction The Board has resolved to reduce Paragon Care’s share capital by $88,766,000 in accordance with Section 258F of the Corporations Act. The capital reduction will have the effect of reducing the share capital account and reducing Paragon Care’s accumulated accounting losses. This is a technical adjustment which does not require shareholder approval and allows the Company to pay future franked dividends. The capital reduction has no impact on Paragon Care’s assets, nets assets, financial results, cash flow or funding or that of the Paragon Care Group. The number of shares on issue will not change as a result of the capital reduction. Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 52 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 28. Issued capital (continued) Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current Company’s share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies. The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year. The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2020 Annual Report. When managing capital, the directors’ objective is to ensure the Company continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders. The directors also aim to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Company. The directors are constantly monitoring the Company’s capital requirements and capital structure to take advantage of favourable opportunities for raising capital. The directors have no current plans to issue further shares or options on the market unless they conclude a further business acquisition. The directors monitor capital through the gearing ratio (net debt divided by total capital). The target for the Group’s gearing ratio is below 50%. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as ‘borrowings’ as shown in the statement of financial position less ‘cash and cash equivalents’ as shown in the statement of financial position. Total capital is calculated as ‘total equity’ as shown in the statement of financial position (including non-controlling interest) plus net debt. The gearing ratio at the reporting date was as follows: Current liabilities - borrowings Non-current liabilities - borrowings Total borrowings Current assets - cash and cash equivalents Net debt Total equity Total capital Gearing ratio The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Financial instruments Financial risk management objectives The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives (‘finance’) under policies approved by the Board of Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group’s operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. Market risk Foreign currency risk The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. In order to protect against exchange rate movements, the Group has entered into forward foreign exchange contracts. These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted cash flows for the ensuing financial year. Management has a risk management policy to hedge between 20% and 100% of anticipated foreign currency transactions for the subsequent 24 months. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows: Forward exchange contracts Buy foreign currency (cash flow hedges): AUD to USD AUD to Euro NZD to USD NZD to Euro Interest rate risk 2021 $’000 18,935 12,851 10,645 503 42,934 2020 $’000 16,786 11,840 10,471 455 39,552 The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. In order to mitigate the risk of variable interest rates, the Group has entered into an interest rate swap arrangement with the bank for loans outstanding of $71,000,000 as at 30 June 2021. The financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk are as follows: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents (interest bearing) Financial liabilities Interest bearing liabilities - variable rate (current) Interest bearing liabilities - fixed rate (current) Interest bearing liabilities - variable rate (non-current) Interest bearing liabilities - fixed rate (non-current) Derivative liability 2021 $’000 2020 $’000 33,197 24,505 (21,587) (207) (9,397) (71,074) (3,047) (15,947) (820) (6,897) (75,262) (4,577) (105,313) (103,503) PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 202155 Notes to and forming part of the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTE 31. Financial instruments (continued) For the Group bank loans outstanding, totalling $102,266,000 (2020: $98,926,039), are principal and interest payment loans. Of this, $71,000,000 (2020: $75,000,000) is managed under an interest rate swap arrangement, whereby the Group exchanges the banks floating rate (BBSYbid rate+spread) for a fixed interest rate of 2.22%. The Group has bank loans outstanding subject to variable interest rates of $30,984,000 (2020: $22,844,333). Monthly cash outlays of approximately $391,542 (2020: $396,890) per month are required to service the interest payments. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 100 (2020: 100) basis points would have an adverse/favourable effect on profit before tax of $309,840 (2020: $228,443) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts forecasts. In additional, minimum principal repayments of $6,000,000 (2020: $4,500,000) are due during the year ending 30 June 2022 (2020: 30 June 2021). Credit risk Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of “A” are accepted. For customers, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by line management. The Group has no significant exposure to any individual debtor of the Group and the credit risk is low for the majority of the balance. Receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and given the low risk profile of customers the Group’s exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments. Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Forecasted cash flows are used to calculate the forecasted liquidity position and to maintain suitable liquidity levels.

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities. Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3 Derivative financial instruments have been valued using quoted market rates. This valuation technique maximises the use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

Share-based payments Employee Incentive Plan (‘EIP’) During the year, shareholders approved the Paragon Care Employee Incentive Plan (‘EIP’) at the 2018 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’). The EIP is an employee equity plan developed to meet contemporary equity design standards and to provide the greatest possible flexibility in the design and offer choices available in respect of various new equity schemes. The EIP enables the Company to offer employees a range of different employee share scheme (‘ESS’) interests. These ESS interests of ‘awards’ include options, performance rights, service rights, deferred shares, exempt shares, cash rights and stock appreciation rights. The type of ESS interest that may be offered to employees will be determined by a number of factors, including: • the remuneration or incentive purpose of the award; • the tax jurisdiction that the participating employee lives and/or works in; • the laws governing equity incentives where the participating employee lives and/or works; and • the logistics and compliance costs associated with offering quality incentives where the participating employee lives and/or works. Performance rights Vesting conditions and important dates The vesting conditions for performance rights granted on 26 April 2019 include meeting the following: • • Service up to 31 August 2022; and If Paragon Care Limited achieves a compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) in earnings per share (‘EPS’) of between 10% (50% vests) and 15% (100% vests) per annum above the base year (financial year ended 30 June 2019), EPS of 5.4 cents per share over the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022. Straight line extrapolation will apply between 10% and 15%. The first vesting date of performance rights issued on 26 April 2019 is 31 August 2022 and will lapse on 30 September 2022 if not vested and exercised. The vesting conditions for performance rights granted on 22 February 2021 include meeting the following: • Tranche 1: One third to vest subject to continuous employment and a minimum share price of 30c being achieved in the financial year 2021 calculated on a 14-day VWAP; • • Tranche 2: One third to vest subject to continuous employment and a minimum share price of 40c being achieved in the financial year 2022 calculated on a 14-day VWAP; and Tranche 3: One third to vest subject to continuous employment and a minimum share price of 50c being achieved in the financial year 2023 calculated on a 14- day VWAP. Other conditions Unvested performance rights may, in certain circumstances, vest early in accordance with the terms of the EIP rules, and any leaver’s policy that may apply from time to time, as approved by the Board. Any dealing in shares is subject to the constraints of Australian insider trading laws and the Company’s share trading policy. Participants are specifically prohibited from hedging their Company share price exposure in respect of their performance rights during the vesting period. If, in the Board’s opinion, an employee acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of their material obligations to the Company, the Board may determine that any or all of their performance rights which have not yet vested, lapse.

On behalf of the directors Shane Tanner Chairman 27 August 2021 Melbourne PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 202167 Auditor’s Report PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 202168 Auditor’s Report Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARAGON CARE LIMITED Opinion We have audited the financial report of Paragon Care Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 Auditor’s Report Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 69 Key Audit Matters (continued) Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed this matter Our audit procedures to management’s impairment assessment involved the assistance of our Corporate Finance team where required, and included: in relation • Assessing management’s determination the goodwill should be allocated to a single CGU based on the nature of the Group’s business and the manner in which results are monitored and reported; that • Assessing the value-in-use calculations; • Challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions, including the cash flow projections, future growth rates, discount rates and terminal values; • Checking the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow model and reconciling to supporting evidence, such as approved budgets and considering the reasonableness of these budgets; input data • Reviewing management’s sensitivity analysis over the key assumptions in the model and assessing whether the assumptions have been applied on a consistent basis across each scenario; and • Assessing the disclosures in Note 21 to the financial statements to assess compliance with the disclosure requirements of AASB136 Impairment of assets and AASB138 Intangible assets. Impairment of Goodwill Refer to Note 21 in the financial statements As at 30 June 2021, the Group had goodwill with a carrying amount of $149 million relating to its numerous acquisitions in recent years. As required by AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, management has performed an impairment assessment over the goodwill balance as at 30 June 2021 by: • calculating the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (“CGU”), which was determined to be the value in use of the CGU, using a discounted cash flow model. This model used cash flow projections for the CGU for 5 years, with a terminal growth rate applied to the 5th year. The cash flow projections were then discounted to net present value using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”); and • comparing the resulting value in use of the CGU to the CGU’s carrying amount. As a result of this exercise, no impairment of goodwill was considered necessary during the year. Management also performed a sensitivity analysis over the value in use calculations, by varying the assumptions used (growth rates, terminal growth rate and WACC) to assess the impact on the valuations. We determined the impairment of goodwill to be a Key Audit Matter due to the materiality of the goodwill balance, and because the directors’ assessment of the ‘value in use’ of the CGU involves judgements about the future underlying cash flows of the business, estimated growth rates for the CGU for the next 5 years as well as in perpetuity, and the discount rates applied to the estimated cash flows. We note that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the current market conditions has increased the level of judgement by the directors in estimating future cash flows. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 70 Auditor’s Report Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 Key Audit Matters (continued) Inventory Valuation, including provision for inventory obsolescence Refer to Note 16 in the financial statements The Group’s inventory balance, as disclosed in Note 16, consists primarily of finished goods of various medical equipment held for distribution. Our audit procedures in relation to the valuation of inventory and provision for obsolescence included: Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The determination of net realisable value of inventory requires a significant degree of management judgement the provision for obsolescence, as well as future market conditions based on changing customer needs and market trends. including assumptions concerning The Group carries a provision for inventory obsolescence of $11.2 million (2020: $11.6 million) as a result of an inventory review undertaken as part of the Group's sales strategy and as a result of the impacts of COVID-19. On the basis of the factors set out above, the valuation of inventory was considered to be a Key Audit Matter. • Obtained an understanding of key controls relating to inventory management and its revised provision for inventory obsolescence policy; • Evaluating management’s assumptions and estimates applied to the provision for obsolescence through analysis of inventory ageing and historical sales levels by inventory product from the date the product was purchased in conjunction with assessing the quantity of products held; • Understanding the provisioning methodology and assessing the appropriateness thereof; • Assessing and validating the key assumptions applied the provision, by in estimating by management performing enquiries of management and reviewing the current purchasing strategy and rationalisation plans; • Testing the accuracy of the process used by management to identify potentially impaired inventory across a representative sample of individual product lines; and • Assessing the completeness and accuracy of disclosures in relation to the accounting estimates within the financial statements in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards. PARAGON CARE — FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 Auditor’s Report Continued For the year ended 30 June 2021 71 Key Audit Matters (continued) Recognition of Revenue Refer to Note 5 in the financial statements The Group’s revenue from continuing operations for the year ended 30 June 2021 was $235.8 million. Our audit procedures in relation to revenue recognition included: Whilst revenue recognition does not involve significant management estimates or judgements, it is considered a Key Audit Matter because of its significance to the Group’s reported financial performance. • Assessing whether the Group’s revenue recognition policies were in compliance with the requirements of AASB 15 Revenues from Contracts with Customers; The risk is heightened due to having distinct product lines within the medical equipment business (diagnostics, capital and consumables, devices, services and technology) across different accounting systems. • Evaluating and testing the operating effectiveness of key controls related to revenue recognition; • Reviewing any large or unusual transactions close to the end of the financial year; Revenue recognition can be impacted by a failure to correctly measure revenue in accordance with applicable accounting standards and/or by applying an incorrect approach to period end cut-off. • Conducting a combination of tests of controls, substantive analytical procedures and tests of details in respect of revenue related transactions; and • Reviewing disclosures in relation to impact on adoption of AASB 15 and the disaggregation of revenues in the financial statements.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
