About Us
Pure Foods Tasmania Pty Ltd (PFT) 
was formed in 2015 with the aim to 
enhance and promote Tasmania’s 
food and beverage businesses. PFT’s 
strategy is to develop new products 
within its existing brands and in 
the plant-based food market, to 
acquire complementary brands and 
businesses and to increase its market 
penetration and distribution for its 
suite of brands and products globally.
PFT’s stable of brands and businesses 
include Woodbridge Smokehouse, 
Tasmanian Pate, Daly Potato Co, 
Lauds Plant-Based Foods, and The 
Cashew Creamery.
Strategy
PFT’s growth strategy encompasses several key themes:
1. 	 organically grow its existing brands;
2. 	 improve margins and capacity via automation of its production 
as products and brands reach scale;
3. 	 secure key assets; and
4. 	 grow via the acquisition of complementary/scalable products/
brands/businesses to exploit product expansion opportunities.
PFT brands are targeted at the “conscious consumer”, offering 
convenience and indulgent home entertaining products with a 
uniquely Tasmanian focus.
Organic growth will be achieved through increased penetration 
of existing markets, entry into new markets and new product 
development.

Chairman’s Report
I am pleased to present the Pure Foods Tasmania 
Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 
June 2023. This year PFT implemented a strategy to 
address operating costs and efficiencies in the wake of 
a challenging economic environment. PFT had grown 
quickly since its listing on the ASX and acquired 
three new businesses which saw compound annual 
sales growth of 266% between 2019 and 2022. To 
manage this growth, it also added new staff, enhanced 
reporting, and operating systems as well as improved 
logistics. In addition, it faced the new challenges with 
COVID-19, including supply chain issues and key staff 
shortages.
In that period, PFT achieved and met all its strategic 
milestones (including navigating COVID-19) but the 
change in the economic climate required a different 
response. It was agreed at the outset of the 2023 
financial year (“FY23”), that topline growth was not 
the immediate priority and PFT needed to align its 
operations to face a different trading environment.
Staff and management met that challenge head 
on, and operating costs were reduced by $1.8m 
(44%) in FY23; and productivity and efficiency gains 
were achieved through a substantial $1.4m capital 
investment plan.
As part of the strategic review, we implemented a key 
initiative to delete a number of SKU’s (product lines) 
at Woodbridge Smokehouse to return the business to 
sustainable profitability. This resulted in a reduction in 
revenue as unprofitable SKU’s were deleted to achieve 
a positive bottom line.
During this period, PFT was confident that new 
product development and collaboration with our major 
customers would lead to strong organic growth in future 
years, through several key product initiatives including 
Daly’s Potato & Gravy and frozen ready to eat meal trays. 
Potato and Gravy sales accelerated in the second half of 
FY23 with Coles and then followed by Woolworths and 
our first order of frozen ready to eat meal trays to be 
shipped in August 2023 which will represent the largest 
one-day sales achievement for PFT.
We have remained committed to our long-term strategy 
to grow organically and through acquisition. To assist 
PFT achieve the latter goal, in May 2023 we appointed 
financial and strategic advisers Kidder Williams.
The Board has continued to ensure PFT is well funded 
and has the flexibility to react to organic growth and 
acquisition opportunities as they arise and to this 
end, we undertook a number of capital restructuring 
initiatives in FY23:
 
Ħ In September 2022, PFT raised (“Offer”) a total 
of $5.7m (after costs) from new and existing 
shareholders. This was facilitated by a Placement 
to sophisticated investors and Entitlement 
Offer to existing shareholders. The Offer was 
oversubscribed with funds raised to be used for 
working capital, expansion and automation of 
plant and equipment, along with exploring product 
growth opportunities.
 
Ħ On 31st October 2022, PFT announced the 
redemption (“Redemption”) of up to $3.5m of 
the $4.7m of Convertible Notes. The funds were 
provided by a bank loan of $2.5m and funds 
on hand of $1.0m which PFT held prior to the 
September capital raise. Noteholders were also 
encouraged to convert their Notes and of the 
$4.7m of Notes that were held, $3.5m were 
redeemed and $0.7m converted to ordinary 
shares, bringing the total conversion of notes to 
ordinary shares to $1.4m. As at 30 June 2023, there 
was just $0.1m of Notes outstanding and they will 
be converted or redeemed by October 2023 (the 
original Convertible Note issue was for $5.3m).
Under the strong leadership of our Managing 
Director, Michael Cooper, I am proud of the senior 
management team for their willingness and flexibility 
to remain focused on our priorities. Our people have 
demonstrated resilience and a focus on safety while 
maintaining consistent delivery of our quality products 
and service to our customers. I thank the PFT staff for 
this dedication and belief in PFT.
Your Board is confident that appropriate strategies are 
in place, supported by a strong company culture, to 
drive the right outcomes for customers, community, 
and our shareholders over the long-term. On behalf 
of my fellow Directors, I would like to thank our 
shareholders for their continued support for PFT.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at 
our Annual General Meeting either in person or online.

Managing Director’s Report
The 2023 financial year (“FY23”) has been another busy year for the Group, and 
we have seen the availability of our brands continue to increase through further 
distribution to over 3,500 active customers at 30 June 2023.
Highlights
Daly Potato Co launched Potato & Gravy into IGA, 
Woolworths & Coles stores in a number of states, both 
on the mainland and in Tasmania. We also recently 
announced the ranging of Daly frozen ready to eat 
meal trays into 850 Woolworth stores from September 
2023. Both these products (Potato & Gravy and frozen 
meal trays) have been under R&D for the majority 
of FY23, and we are very happy to finally have them 
available to all consumers.
Tasmanian Pate was also able to launch four new 
products along with Cashew Creamery adding 1lt Tub 
Ice Cream to its portfolio. Lauds Plant based foods also 
launched new products with grated shreds and a new 
improved feta product.
We took a decision to delete several Woodbridge 
Smokehouse products that were not profitable and 
although this impacted revenue in FY23, the outcome 
was that we were able to deliver positive earnings 
versus a large loss in the 2022 financial year (“FY22”). 
This business is now starting to grow strongly again 
and from a profitable base.
As a business, we continue to execute against the 
strategic objectives we set out on listing. We have 
been able to organically grow our core business 
via new product ranges and expanded distribution. 
Tasmanian Pate continues to deliver strong growth, 
mainly driven by the Homestead Pate brand. 
Woodbridge Smokehouse has maintained its solid 
export base, notwithstanding the large increase in raw 
material costs. Lauds Plant-Based Foods and Cashew 
Creamery have also launched new products and 
attracted new customers.
Overall, in FY23, the Group delivered total revenue of 
$9.7m, which was down $0.4m (4.5%) versus FY22. The 
largest impact to revenue in FY23 was Woodbridge 
Smokehouse, with sales down by 44%. As noted 
above, the substantial revenue growth in FY22 for 
Woodbridge came at a high price to the bottom line, 
and it was critical that this was redressed in FY23. The 
business also experienced very high salmon prices 
versus FY22. Offsetting this, we recorded strong sales at 
Daly and Tasmanian Pate. FY23 EBIDTA was ($1.4m), a 
substantial improvement of over ($1.3m), versus FY22 
which was ($2.7m). Other highlights include:
 
Ħ Reduction in operating expenses by $1.0m in FY23, 
driven by a strong focus on cost reduction across 
all parts of the business;
 
Ħ An increase in packaging costs was experienced 
in FY23 of approximately 15%, the bulk of which 
was passed onto our customers with three price 
increases. And significantly, it is refreshing to note 
we have seen price pressure easing in the first two 
months of the 2024 financial year (“FY24”); and
 
Ħ We experienced increased labour pressures to 
support new product development although 
notably a portion of this cost was recoverable via 
our Research & Development Tax incentive claim.
We have been able to organically grow 
our core business via new product 
ranges and expanded distribution.

Continued Investment
Our commitment to investment to create efficiencies 
and improved margins continued throughout FY23. 
The extension of our automation and capacity 
improvement program in FY23 required a capital 
investment of $1.4m. This was critical to provide scale 
and productivity benefits for new and existing products 
and reduce potential labour pressures, as we manage 
the expected runway of strong sales growth this year 
and beyond.
We completed three major installations at our 
Mornington facility, including the turnkey ice cream 
line, and automated sealing and new sleeving 
equipment for Tasmanian Pate. All these projects will 
improve efficiencies, increase margins and capacity, 
enhance product quality and flexibility. However, 
there were unplanned disruptions that were outside 
our control and due largely to international shipping 
delays. Nonetheless and significantly, we will see the 
benefits from this automation in FY24.
Our People
I want to recognise the significant contribution of all our 
employees over the year as we worked through new 
product development, installations of new equipment 
and securing new distribution points for our great 
brands. Without the dedicated efforts of our team, our 
business would not be in the position it is today, I would 
also like to thank the Board, for its contributions over 
the year and very much look forward to working with 
my fellow Directors again in FY24.
Well Positioned for Growth in the 
2024 Financial Year and Beyond
We recently appointed Kidder Williams to support the 
Group in delivering on its growth strategy.
The Group remains well positioned to continue to grow 
via product innovation and acquisition and FY24 is 
looking to be another exciting year with new ranging, 
new automation, and customers, all supporting our 
growth and delivering shareholder value..

The Group announced on 7 October 2021 that

subscribe for 5,300,000 unsecured convertible notes at 
a price of $5.3m (before costs of the offer) a pursuant 
to a convertible note deed poll (Deed Poll). 
The convertible notes have a two-year term (with the 
C1ompany able to elect to extend to 3 years), 7.5% per 
annum interest rate and a conversions price based on 
the lower of:
a) 90% (or 80% if there is an extension of the
maturity date) of the 10-day trading VWAP prior to
conversion; or
b) $0.50 per share.
During the financial year ending 30 June 2023, 
3,450,000 convertible notes were redeemed 
for $3.5m in accordance with the Deed Poll and 
1,710,000 notes were converted into 11,652,754 
shares. The average conversion price of convertible 
notes converted was $0.1458.
As at 30 June 2023, a total of 140,000 convertible notes 
remained outstanding.  
For illustrative purposes only, if the remaining 140,000 
convertible notes had been converted on 30 June 2023 
the Conversion Price would have been $0.1157 and 
1,210,067 ordinary shares would have been issued.  
A noteholder may elect to convert all or an amount 
equal to or greater than $25,000 at any time. 
Conversion of the notes by PFT can occur at any time 
prior to Maturity Date, if a “Material Transaction” 
occurs.  A Material Transaction means (a) “Change of 
Control Event”; (b) PFT enters into an agreement for 
an acquisition where the consideration payable by PFT 
is more than $10m; or (c) PFT raises more than $10m 
(in aggregate) through the issue of shares during the 
period between the issue date of the convertible notes 
and the maturity date of the convertible notes. On a 
Material Transaction, PFT may elect to Convert all the 
Convertible Notes then outstanding into such number 
of Shares as is determined by dividing the Outstanding 
Total Amount by the Conversion Price.

Remuneration Report
Remuneration Policy
TThe remuneration policy of the Group has been 
designed to align key management personnel (KMP) 
objectives with shareholder and business objectives by 
providing a fixed remuneration component and offering 
specific long-term incentives based on key performance 
areas affecting the Consolidated Group’s financial results. 
The Board of the Group believes the remuneration policy 
to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract 
and retain high-quality KMP to run and manage the 
Consolidated Group, as well as create goal congruence 
between Directors, executives, and shareholders.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and 
amount of remuneration for KMP of the Group is based 
on the following:
 
Ħ The remuneration policy is to be developed by the 
Board after professional advice is sought from 
independent external consultants.
 
Ħ All KMP receive a base salary (which is based on 
factors such as length of service and experience), 
superannuation, fringe benefits, options, and 
performance incentives.
 
Ħ Performance incentives are generally only paid 
once predetermined key performance indicators 
(KPIs) have been met.
 
Ħ Incentives paid in the form of options or rights 
are intended to align the interests of the Directors 
and Group with those of the shareholders. In 
this regard, KMP are prohibited from limiting risk 
attached to those instruments by use of derivatives 
or other means.
 
Ħ The Board reviews KMP packages annually 
by reference to the Consolidated Group’s 
performance, executive performance, and 
comparable information from industry sectors.
The performance of KMP is measured against 
criteria agreed biannually with each executive and is 
based predominantly on the forecast growth of the 
Consolidated Group’s profits and shareholders’ value. All 
bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined 
performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise 
its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses, 
and options. Any change must be justified by reference 
to measurable performance criteria. The policy is 
designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and 
reward them for performance results leading to long-
term growth in shareholder wealth.
KMP receive, at a minimum, a superannuation guarantee 
contribution required by the government, which is 
currently 11.0% of the individual’s average weekly 
ordinary time earnings (AWOTE). Some individuals, 
however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to 
increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to the 
Group and expensed.
Performance-based Remuneration
KPIs are set annually, with a certain level of 
consultation with KMP. The measures are specifically 
tailored to the area each individual is involved in 
and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas 
the Board believes hold greater potential for Group 
expansion and profit, covering financial and non-
financial as well as short and long-term goals. The 
level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for 
the Group and respective industry standards.
Performance Conditions Linked 
to Remuneration
The Group seeks to emphasise reward incentives 
for results and continued commitment to the Group 
through the provision of various cash bonus reward 
schemes, specifically the incorporation of incentive 
payments based on the achievement of revenue 
targets, return on equity ratios and continued 
employment with the Group.
Employment Details of Members 
of Key Management Personnel
The term Key Management Personnel refers to those 
persons having the authority and responsibility for 
planning, directing, and controlling activities of the 
Group, directly or indirectly, and includes any Director 
of the Group (whether executive or otherwise).
The KMP of the Group for the year ended 30 June

basis that the Group is a going concern. 
For the year ended 30 June 2023 the Group incurred 
losses of $2.0m after tax (2022: ($3.3m)) and incurred 
net cash outflows from operations of $2.3m (2022: 
$4.0m). As at 30 June 2023, the Group had $3.5m 
(2022: $2.5m) in cash and cash equivalents and had 
external borrowings of $3.9m (2022: $1.45m).
During the 2023 financial year there have been 
a number of strategic initiatives that have been 
implemented. The following is a summary of the 
activities that have been delivered during 2023 
financial year:
 
Ħ In September 2022, the Group raised a total 
of $5.65m (after costs) from new and existing 
shareholders with the purpose of the funds raised 
to be used for working capital, expansion and 
automation of plant and equipment, securing 
key assets and exploring product growth 
opportunities. 
 
Ħ On 31 October 2022, the Group announced the 
redemption of up to $3.50m of the $4.65m of 
notes that were outstanding held by noteholders. 
The funds were provided by a bank loan of $2.50m 
and funds on hand of $1.0m; and 
 
Ħ $2.8m option expired 30 April 2023.
The Directors have also approved a budget for 2024 
financial year that includes:
 
Ħ Reduced capital expenditure from $1.4m to $0.8m;
 
Ħ Continuation of focus on growing gross margin 
through automation, site consolidation and 
improvements and contract supply agreements for 
key raw material and packaging inputs;
 
Ħ Implementation of Potato and Gravy production 
improvements that will provide an enhanced 
texture and taste, impressive raw material and 
labour cost reductions and an externally validated 
shelf life extension; and
 
Ħ Launch of the frozen meal tray range into 
Woolworths nationally from September 2023.
Considering the ongoing success of Potato and Gravy 
and the introduction of the Daly frozen meal tray range 
into Woolworths, the Directors are of the opinion 
that the Group are well positioned to not only grow 
revenue but achieve profitable margin. Accordingly, 
the consolidated annual report is prepared on a going 
concern basis.
(C)	 Basis of Preparation
These financial statements are general purpose 
financial statements that have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, 
Australian Accounting Interpretations and the 
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for-profit 
oriented entities. 
The financial statements cover the Group and its 
controlled entities as a group for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2023. The Company is a company 
limited by shares, incorporated, and domiciled in 
Australia. 
Separate financial statements for the Company as 
an individual entity are no longer presented as a 
consequence of a change to the Corporations Act 
2001, however limited financial information for the 
Company as an individual entity is included in "Note 
20" on page 46. 
The following is a summary of material accounting 
policies adopted by the Group in the preparation and 
presentation of the financial statements not elsewhere 
disclosed. The accounting policies have been 
consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(D)	 Compliance with IFRS
The financial statements comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(E)	 Historical Cost Convention
The financial statements have been prepared under 
the historical cost convention. All amounts are 
presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise noted.
(F)	 Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are those of the 
Group, comprising the parent entity and its controlled 
entities as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 10 
Consolidated Financial Statements. Control is achieved 
when the Group:
 
Ħ is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from 
its involvement with the investee; and 
 
Ħ has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
Annual Report for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2023
29

The Group reassess whether or not it controls an 
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there 
are changes to one or more of the three elements of 
control listed above.
Details of the controlled entities are contained in "Note 
21" on page 47.
Financial statements for controlled entities are 
prepared for the same reporting period as the parent 
entity. Controlled entities are fully consolidated from 
the date on which control is transferred to the Group 
and cease to be consolidated from the date on which 
control is transferred out of the Group. Adjustments 
are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting 
policies, which may exist.
All inter-company balances and transactions, including 
any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated 
on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in the equity and results of 
the entities that are controlled are shown separately in 
the consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of the financial statements of the 
Group requires the use of accounting estimates which, 
by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. 
Management also needs to exercise judgement in 
applying the Group’s accounting policies.
Areas within the financial report which contain a 
higher degree of judgement or complexity, and items 
which are more likely to be materially adjusted due 
to estimates and assumptions turning out to be 
incorrect. Detailed information about each of these 
estimates and judgements are included in the notes 
to the financial statements together with the basis of 
calculation.
The area involving significant estimates or judgements 
is the estimated value in use calculations for the 
assessment of the recoverable amount of goodwill.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. 
They are based on historical experience, information, 
and other factors, including expectations of future 
events that may have a financial impact on the entity 
and that are believed to be reasonable under the 
circumstances.
(G)	 Comparatives
Where necessary, comparative information has been 
reclassified and repositioned for consistency with 
current year disclosures.
(h) New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet 
Adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations 
have been published that are not mandatory for 30 
June 2023 reporting periods and have not yet been 
adopted by the Group. There are no standards that 
are not yet effective and that would be expected to 
have a material impact on the Group in the current or 
future reporting periods and on foreseeable future 
transactions.
Note 2:	
Segment Information
The operating segments are based upon the units 
identified in the operating reports reviewed by the 
Board and executive management, and are used 
to make strategic decisions, in conjunction with 
the quantitative thresholds established by AASB 8 
Operating Segments. 
During the financial year the Board and executive 
management restructured the reporting framework of 
the Group.
This resulted in the core reporting nature being from 
a consolidated group viewpoint, as opposed to an 
individual brand/company perspective. 
The key driver behind this has been the recent 
expansion of the number of brands within the Group. 
As such, there are two identifiable and reportable 
segments:
 
Ħ Pure Foods Tasmania Products – which 
incorporates all brands of the Group; and
 
Ħ Corporate - which comprises corporate costs that 
are not directly attributable to the operational 
business units.
Management measures the performance of the 
segments identified at the ‘net profit before tax’ level.

Recognition and Measurement
The sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the 
consideration received net of any trade discounts and 
volume rebates allowed. The sale of goods represents 
a single performance obligation and accordingly, 
revenue is recognised in respect of these sales of 
goods at the point in time when control over the 
corresponding goods is transferred to the customer 
(i.e., at a point in time for sale of goods when the 
goods are delivered to the customer or transferred to 
the freight forwarder).
Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped 
to the customer, the risks of obsolescence and loss 
have been transferred to the customer, and either the 
customer has accepted the products, the acceptance 
provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective 
evidence that all the criteria for acceptance have been 
satisfied. All revenue is stated net of the amount of 
goods and services tax (GST) where applicable.
Interest Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis 
using the effective interest rate method.

Note 7: Income Tax Expense continued…
The income tax expense (income) for the year 
comprises current income tax expense (income) and 
deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss 
is the tax payable on taxable income for the current 
period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at 
the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) 
the relevant taxation authority using tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted 
by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred 
tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the 
year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is 
charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax 
relates to items that are recognised outside profit or 
loss or arising from a business combination.
A deferred tax liability shall be recognised for all 
taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that 
the deferred tax liability arises from:
a.	 the initial recognition of goodwill; or 
b.	 	the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a 
transaction which:
i.	 is not a business combination; and 
ii.	 at the time of the transaction, affects neither 
accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at 
the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period 
when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, 
and their measurement also reflects the manner in 
which management expects to recover or settle the 
carrying amount of the related asset or liability. With 
respect to non-depreciable items of property, plant 
and equipment measured at fair value and items 
of investment property measured at fair value, the 
related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is 
measured on the basis that the carrying amount of the 
asset will be recovered entirely through sale.
When an investment property that is depreciable is 
held by the entity in a business model whose objective 
is to consume substantially all of the economic 
benefits embodied in the property through use over 
time (rather than through sale), the related deferred 
tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the 
basis that the carrying amount of such property will be 
recovered entirely through use.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences 
and unused tax losses are recognised only to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will 
be available against which the benefits of the deferred 
tax asset can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset 
relating to temporary differences arises from the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that:
 
Ħ is not a business combination; and
 
Ħ at the time of the transaction, affects neither 
accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Where temporary differences exist in relation to 
investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates 
and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are not recognised where the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary difference can be controlled, and 
it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the 
foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where 
a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, and it 
is intended that net settlement or simultaneous 
realisation and settlement of the respective asset and 
liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
offset where: 
a.	 a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and
b.	 the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate 
to income taxes levied by the same taxation 
authority on either the same taxable entity or 
different taxable entities where it is intended that 
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and 
settlement of the respective asset and liability 
will occur in future periods in which significant 
amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are 
expected to be recovered or settled.

Tax Consolidation
The Company and its wholly owned Australian resident 
entities have formed a tax-consolidated Group and are 
therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The 
head entity within the tax-consolidated Group is PFT 
Limited. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities 
and deferred tax assets arising from temporary 
differences of the members of the tax-consolidated 
Group are recognised in the separate financial 
statements of the members of the tax-consolidated 
Group using the “separate taxpayer within group” 
approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the 
separate financial statements of each entity and the 
tax values applying under tax consolidation. 
Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax 
assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax 
credits of the members of the tax-consolidated Group 
are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the 
tax-consolidated Group). Due to the existence of a tax 
funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-
consolidated Group, amounts are recognised as payable 
to or receivable by the Company and each member of 
the Group in relation to the tax contribution amounts 
paid or payable between the Parent Entity and the other 
members of the tax-consolidated Group in accordance 
with the arrangement.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which 
permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit 
losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. 
Notes to the Financial Statements
Annual Report for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2023

The “receivables written off as unrecoverable” are all due to customers declaring bankruptcy, or term receivables

Note 8: Trade and Other Receivables continued…
Fair Value of Trade and Other Receivables
Due to the short-term nature of the current 
receivables, their carrying amount is approximate to 
fair value.
Credit Risk 
The Group has no significant concentration of credit 
risk with respect to any single counterparty or group 
of counterparties other than those receivables 
specifically provided for and mentioned within the loss 
allowance. The class of assets described as “trade and 
other receivables” is considered to be the main source 
of credit risk related to the Group. On a geographical 
basis, the Group has significant credit risk exposures in 
Australia.
The Group always measures the loss allowance for 
trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime 
expected credit loss. The expected credit losses on 
trade receivables are estimated using a provision 
matrix by reference to past default experience of the 
debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial 
position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the 
debtor, general economic conditions of the industry in 
which the debtor operates and an assessment of both 
the current and the forecast direction of conditions at 
the reporting date. There has been no change in the 
estimation techniques used or significant assumptions 
made during the current reporting period.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there 
is information indicating that the debtor is in severe 
financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect 
of recovery; for example, when the debtor has 
been placed under liquidation or has entered into 
bankruptcy proceedings, or when the trade receivables 
are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier. 
None of the trade receivables that have been written 
off are subject to enforcement activities.

or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost 
basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the 
event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is 
greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the 
carrying amount is written down immediately to the 
estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses 
are recognised in profit or loss. A formal assessment 
of recoverable amount is made when impairment 
indicators are present.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is 
reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in 
excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. 
The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of 
the expected net cash flows that will be received from 
the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The 
expected net cash flows have been discounted to their 
present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including 
buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding 
freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the asset’s useful life to the Consolidated Group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for 
use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the 
shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of 
depreciable assets are:
Class of Fixed Assets
Depreciation Rate
Buildings
2.0%
Plant and Equipment
5.0% - 33.0%
Notes to the Financial Statements
Annual Report for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2023
37

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are 
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of 
each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down 
immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated 
recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by 
comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the 
period in which they arise. Gains shall not be classified 
as revenue. When revalued assets are sold, amounts 
included in the revaluation surplus relating to that 
asset are transferred to retained earnings.

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the 
contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease 
present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease 
liability is recognised by the Group where the Group is 
a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as 
short-term leases (lease with remaining lease term of 
12 months or less) and leases of low value assets are 
recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease.
Initially the lease liability is measured at the present 
value of the lease payments still to be paid at 
commencement date. The lease payments are 
discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If 
this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses 
the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the 
lease liability are as follows:
 
Ħ fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;
 
Ħ variable lease payments that depend on an index 
or rate, initially measured using the index or rate 
at the commencement date;
 
Ħ 	the amount expected to be payable by the lessee 
under residual value guarantees;
 
Ħ the exercise price of purchase options if the lessee 
is reasonably certain to exercise the options;
 
Ħ lease payments under extension options if lessee 
is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
 
Ħ payments of penalties for terminating the lease if 
the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to 
terminate the lease.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial 
measurement of the corresponding lease liability 
as mentioned above, any lease payments made at 
or before the commencement date as well as any 
initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of 
the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease 
term or useful life of the underlying asset whichever 
is the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of 
the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use 
asset reflects that the Group anticipates exercising a 
purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over 
the useful life of the underlying asset.

Goodwill relates to the acquisition of Tasmanian Pate, 
Daly Potato Co, The Cashew Creamery and Lauds 
Plant-Based Foods.
(A)	 Recognition and Measurement
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortised but is tested annually for 
impairment or more frequently if events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. 
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated 
impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess 
of the sum of:
 
Ħ the consideration transferred at fair value;
 
Ħ any non-controlling interest (determined under 
either the fair value or proportionate interest 
method); and
 
Ħ the acquisition date fair value of any previously 
held equity interest over the acquisition date 
fair value of any identifiable assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed. 
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration 
transferred for a business combination plus the 
acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity 
interest shall form the cost of the investment in the 
separate financial statements.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in 
subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing 
control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as 
equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the 
Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests 
are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative 
interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between 
the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are 
adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or 
received is recognised directly in equity and attributed 
to owners of the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or 
loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as 
the difference between:
i.	 the aggregate of the fair value of the 
consideration received and the fair value of any 
retained interest; and
ii.	 the previous carrying amount of the assets 
(including goodwill), and liabilities of the 
subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
All amounts previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary 
are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed 
of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e., 
reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another 
category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable 
Accounting Standards). The fair value of any investment 
retained in the former subsidiary at the date when 
control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial 
recognition for subsequent accounting under AASB 
139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, 
when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an 
investment in an associate or a joint venture.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is 
allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units (CGU) 
or groups of cash-generating units, representing the 
lowest level at which goodwill is monitored and not 
larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on 
the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount 
of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.
Impairment losses for goodwill are not subsequently 
reversed. 
During the financial year, the Board and management 
reviewed the internal reporting and the CGU’s of the 
Group. Given the expansion in brands and products, 
the management of CGU’s by individual brand was 
not aligned with the reporting of the Group. As such, 
a single CGU has created title ‘Pure Foods Tasmania 
Products’ which encompasses all brands of the 
business as they are intrinsically linked under the PFT 
brand. This aligns with the reporting to the Board at 
Group level.
Recoverable Amount of Goodwill 
Impairment testing has been undertaken at 30 June 
2023 for the CGU for goodwill or where there is an 
indication of impairment. The Group has 1 CGU for 
which impairment testing has been completed for 
goodwill – Pure Foods Tasmania Products.
The recoverable amount for the CGU has been 
determined based on a value-in-use calculation which 
uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets 
and forecasts approved by management. 
Notes to the Financial Statements
Annual Report for the Financial Year ending 30 June 2023
39

Key assumptions used in the value-is-use calculations 
for the CGU is:
Pure Foods Tasmania Products
Sales Growth Rate (CAGR 6 Years) 
19.2%
Production Costs Growth Rate (CAGR 6 Years)
14.1%
Indirect Costs Growth Rate (CAGR 6 Years)
6.9%
Long-Term Growth Rate
2.0%
Pre-Tax Discount Rate
11.2%
Management has based the value-in-use calculations 
on budgets. These budgets use historical weighted 
average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are 
calculated considering historical gross margins as 
well as estimated weighted average inflation rates 
over the period, which are consistent with inflation 
rates applicable to the locations in which the CGU 
operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to 
incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.
Changes to key inputs within the value in use 
calculations:
 
Ħ Sales growth rate: Sales growth rates were 
increased as at 30 June 2023 to reflect market 
growth rates, the strategic initiatives adopted by 
the Board and product price increases.
 
Ħ Production costs: Production costs as a 
percentage of revenue are forecast to increase 
over the forecast period which is reflective gross 
margin improvement through a focus on value 
chain profitability and management of input costs. 
 
Ħ Long-term growth rate: Reduced to 2.0% which is 
in line with Reserve Bank of Australia’s economic 
outlook. 
 
Ħ Pre-tax discount rate:  The discount rate 
represents the current market assessment of the 
risks relating to the relevant CGU. In performing 
the value in use calculations for the CGU, the 
Group has applied a pre-tax discount rate of 11.2% 
(11.1% post tax). 

(B)	 Review Outcome
In completing the impairment review based on the 
aforementioned, the value in use of the Pure Foods 
Tasmania Products business exceeded its carrying 
value.
(C)	 Other Intangible Assets  
Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised 
at cost. Following initial recognition, the cost model 
is applied to the class of intangible assets. The useful 
lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be 
either finite or indefinite.
Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite 
lives, this expense is taken to the statement of 
comprehensive income. Intangible assets, excluding 
development costs, created within the business are 
not capitalised and expenditure is charged against 
profits in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. 
Intangible assets are tested for impairment where 
an indicator of impairment exists, and in the case of 
indefinite lived intangibles annually, either individually 
or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are 
also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, 
where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.
(D)	 Research and Development Costs  
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development 
expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried 
forward when its future recoverability can reasonably 
be regarded as assured.
An entity shall assess whether the useful life of an 
intangible asset is finite or indefinite and, if finite, the 
length of, or number of production or similar units 
constituting, that useful life.  An intangible asset shall 
be regarded by the entity as having an indefinite 
useful life when, based on the analysis of all of the 
relevant factors, there is no foreseeable limit to the 
period over which the asset is expected to generate 
net cash inflows for the entity.  
The carrying value of development costs is reviewed 
for impairment annually when the asset is not yet 
in use, or more frequently when an indicator of 
impairment arises during the reporting year indicating 
that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The balance is recognised as a current liability with 
amounts paid in accordance with supplier trading

Recognition and Measurement 
Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-
term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits 
are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are 
expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after 
the end of the annual reporting period in which the 
employees render the related service, including wages, 
salaries, and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits 
are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected 
to be paid when the obligation is settled. 
The Group’s obligations for short-term employee 
benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are 
recognised as part of current trade and other payables 
in the statement of financial position.
The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave 
and long service leave entitlements are recognised as 
provisions in the statement of financial position.
Provision is made for employees’ long service leave 
and annual leave entitlements not expected to be 
settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the 
annual reporting period in which the employees 
render the related service. Other long-term employee 
benefits are measured at the present value of the 
expected future payments to be made to employees. 
Expected future payments incorporate anticipated 
future wage and salary levels, durations of service 
and employee departures and are discounted at rates 
determined by reference to market yields at the end 
of the reporting period on government bonds that 
have maturity dates that approximate the terms of 
the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes 
in assumptions of obligations for other long-term 
employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in 
the periods in which the changes occur.
The Group’s obligations for long-term employee 
benefits are presented as non-current provisions in 
its statement of financial position, except where the 
Group does not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the 
reporting period, in which case the obligations are 
presented as current provisions.

Recognition and Measurement 
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, 
net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any 
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction 
costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the 
consolidated income statement over the period of the 
borrowings using the effective interest method. 
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet of 
the Group when the terms and obligations specified in 
the contract are discharged, cancelled or expired. The 
difference between the carrying amount of a financial 
liability that has been extinguished or transferred 
to another party, and the consideration paid is 
recognised in the consolidated income statement 
as other income or finance costs. Borrowings are 
classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an 
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 
Borrowing costs, including transaction fees, are 
recognised in the consolidated income statement in 
the period in which they are incurred.
Secured liabilities and assets pledged as security 
The Group has entered into finance facilities with the 
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) and National 
Australia Bank these include:
 
Ħ $2.50 million market rate loan for 12 months that 
is secured against a $2.50 million deposit facility 
with CBA;
 
Ħ $1.61 million asset finance facilities which are 
secured over specific assets ranging with maturity

Note 18:	 Financial Risk Management
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise 
receivables, payables, cash, and short-term deposits.
The Group manages its exposure to key financial 
risks in accordance with the Group’s financial risk 
management policy. The objective of the policy is to 
support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets 
whilst protecting future financial security.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial 
instruments are price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. 
The Group uses different methods to measure and 
manage different types of risk to which it is exposed. 
These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest 
rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments 
of market forecasts for commodity prices. Ageing 
analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances 
are undertaken to manage credit risk, liquidity risk is 
monitored through the development of future rolling 
cash flow forecasts.
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing 
each of these risks as summarised in the following. 
Primary responsibility for identification and control 
of financial risks rests with the Managing Director 
under the authority of the Board. The Board reviews 
and agrees policies for managing each of the risks 
identified below, including, interest rate risk, credit 
allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets 
and liabilities at balance date were equal to their fair 
value.
(A)	 Recognition and Measurement
Classification
The Group classifies its financial instruments in the 
following categories: financial assets at fair value 
through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-
maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial 
assets. The classification depends on the purpose for 
which the investments were acquired. Management 
determines the classification of its financial 
instruments at the time of initial recognition.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Upon initial recognition a financial asset or financial 
liability is designated as at fair value through profit or 
loss when:
a.	 An entire contract containing one or more 
embedded derivatives is designated as a financial 
asset or financial liability at fair value through 
profit and loss.
b.	 Doing so results in more relevant information, 
because either:
i.	 It eliminates or significantly reduces a 
measurement or recognition inconsistency that 
would otherwise arise from measuring assets or 
liabilities or recognising gains or losses on them 
on different bases.
ii.	 A group of financial assets, financial liabilities 
or both is managed, and its performance is 
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance 
with a documented risk management or 
investment strategy, and information about the 
Group is provided internally on that basis to key 
management personnel.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have 
a quoted market price in an active market, and 
whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are not 
designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Present investment strategy is to keep assets in a 
highly liquid state and almost all of the investment 
assets are held in cash.
A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value 
of a financial asset or financial liability classified as at 
fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income.
Non-listed investments, for which fair value cannot be 
reliably measured, are carried at cost, and tested for 
impairment.
Loans and Receivables
Loan and receivables are measured at fair value at 
inception and subsequently at amortised cost using 
the effective interest rate method.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities include trade payables, other 
creditors, and loans from third parties including inter-
company balances and loans from / or other amounts 
due to Director-related entities.
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at 
amortised cost, comprising original debt, less principal 
payments, and amortisation.

(B)	 Risk Exposures and Responses
Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s exposure to market interest rates is related 
primarily to the Group’s cash deposits. At balance sheet 
date, the Group had the following mix of financial 
assets exposed to Australian and variable interest rate 
risks that are not designated as cash flow hedges:

The Group regularly analyses its interest rate 
opportunity and exposure. Within this analysis 
consideration is given to existing positions and 
alternative arrangements for its deposits.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the 
interest rate opportunity/risk relating to cash deposits 
at balance date.
At 30 June 2023, if interest rates had moved, as 
illustrated in the table below, with all other variables 
held constant, post-tax profit/(loss) and equity would 
have been affected as follows:

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk is the risk that the Group, although 
balance sheet solvent, cannot meet or generate 
sufficient cash resources to meet its payment 
obligations in full as they fall due, or can only do 
so at materially disadvantageous terms. Ultimate 
responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with 
the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate 
liquidity risk management framework for the 
management of the Group’s short, medium, and long-
term funding and liquidity management requirements. 
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining 
adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring 
forecast and actual cash flows and matching the 
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
All current liabilities fall due within normal trade terms, 
which are generally 30 days.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, 
which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade 
and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit 
risk arises from potential default of the counter party, 
with maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount 
of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is 
addressed in each applicable note. The Group does not 
hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy 
third parties, and as such collateral is not requested 
nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and 
other receivables.
It is the Group’s policy that all customers who 
wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit 
verification procedures including an assessment of 
their independent credit rating, financial position, 
past experience and industry reputation. The risks are 
regularly monitored.
The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach 
to measuring expected credit losses as disclosed in 
"Note 8" on page 35.
Receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing 
basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad 
debts is not significant.
(C)	 Fair Value
The method for estimating fair value is outlined in 
the relevant notes to the financial statements. All 
financial assets held at fair value are valued based 
on the principles outlined in AASB 7 in relation to 
Level 1 of the hierarchy of fair values, being quoted 
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical 
assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date.

Note 19:	 Capital Management
When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to 
maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain 
a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Group.
Management is constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high 
returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, the Board may change the amount of dividends to be 
paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Independent Audit Report
For the year ended 30 June 2023 
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of 
Pure Foods Tasmania Limited
Opinion 
We have audited the financial report of Pure Foods 
Tasmania Limited (the Company and its controlled 
entities (the Group)), which comprises the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2023, the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the 
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the 
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then 
ended, and notes to the financial statements, including 
a summary of significant accounting policies, and the 
Directors’ Declaration. 
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of 
the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including:
i 	 giving a true and fair view of the consolidated 
financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023 
and of its consolidated financial performance for 
the year then ended on that date; 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 Group, 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.
Going Concern Assumption
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, 
which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss 
of $1.83m and a net cash outflow from operations 
of $2.3m during the year ended 30 June 2023. These 
conditions, along with other matters set forth in 
Note 1, provide the reasoning for the assessment of 
the financial statements being prepared as a going 
concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this 
matter.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of the most significance in our 
audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters. 
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Valuation of Goodwill 
Refer to Note 12 in the Financial Report
The Group holds intangible assets totalling $2.5m as 
at 30 June 2023, of which $1.9m relates to goodwill. 
Under Australian Accounting Standards, the Group is 
required to assess goodwill for impairment at least 
annually. 
The Group performed an impairment assessment for 
the Pure Foods Tasmania Products cash generating 
unit (CGU), calculating the value in use of the net 
assets in the CGU. 
The valuation model used by the Group to perform 
the impairment assessment is based on budget 
forecasts. 
The Group did not identify any impairment for 
the CGU.
We assessed whether the Group’s determination of 
CGU was consistent with our understanding of the 
nature of the Group’s operations and internal Group 
reporting. We assessed management’s conclusions 
around allocating Pure Foods Tasmania Products as a 
CGU. 
We tested the mathematical accuracy and integrity of 
the calculation in the model. 
To evaluate the model, we performed the following 
procedures, amongst others:
 
Ħ Compared model inputs to the 2023 financial year 
budget;
 
Ħ Assessed historical performance of the CGU; and
 
Ħ Assessed forecast growth assumptions.
We assessed the discount rate used in the impairment 
assessment by comparing to comparable companies. 
We performed sensitivity analysis which highlighted 
that the CGU’s are sensitivity to changes in key 
assumptions. We recalculated the change in growth 
rates and discount rates which would result in an 
impairment and also evaluated the adequacy of the 
disclosures in Note 12 in light of the requirements of 
Australian Accounting Standards.
Other Information 
The Directors are responsible for the other 
information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the Group’s annual report 
for the year ended 30 June 2023 but does not include 
the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover 
the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In 
connection with our audit of the financial report, our 
responsibility is to read the other information and, in 
doing so, consider whether the other information is 
materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears 
to be materially misstated. 
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude 
that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We 
have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors 
for the Financial Report 
The Directors of the Group are responsible for the 
preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal control as the Directors determine is 
necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are 
responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, 
matters related to going concern and using the going 
concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either 
intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, 
or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Independent Audit Report
Pure Foods Tasmania Limited    ACN 112 682 158    ASX: PFT

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the 
Audit of the Financial Report 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level 
of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit 
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing 
Standards will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or 
error and are considered material if, individually or in 
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the 
basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian 
Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism 
throughout the audit. We also: 
 
Ħ Identify and assess the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial report, whether 
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit 
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate 
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 
detecting a material misstatement resulting from 
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, 
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of 
internal control. 
 
Ħ Obtain an understanding of internal control 
relevant to the audit in order to design 
audit procedures that are appropriate in the 
circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Entity’s internal control. 
 
Ħ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting 
policies used and the reasonableness of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures 
made by management. 
 
Ħ Conclude on the appropriateness of 
management’s use of the going concern basis 
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence 
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related to events or conditions that may cast 
significant doubt on the Entity’s ability to continue 
as a going concern. If we conclude that a material 
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw 
attention in our auditor’s report to the related 
disclosures in the financial report or, if such 
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. 
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence 
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. 
However, future events or conditions may cause 
the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern. 
 
Ħ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and 
content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report 
represents the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 
 
Ħ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence 
regarding the financial information of the 
entities or business activities within the Group 
to express an opinion on the financial report. We 
are responsible for the direction, supervision, and 
performance of the Group audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance 
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope 
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, 
including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that 
we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with 
them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, 
and where applicable, related safeguards.
Report on the 
Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included 
in pages 14 to 20 of the Directors’ Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2023. 
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Pure 
Foods Tasmania Limited for the year ended 30 June 
2023 complies with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The Directors of the Group are responsible for the 
preparation and presentation of the Remuneration 
Report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations 
Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted 
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
