There has been a significant change in activities during the period with the cessation of all loyalty and reward solution operations. The group maintains a Payment solution, however, since September 2015, TasFoods has been focused on production of premium cream, butter and dairy products. Operating Results and Financial Position Below is a summary of the operating results and financial position for the period:  Net loss from continuing activities:  Net loss from discontinued activities: $ 2,095,222 (2014: $2,410,058) $ 2,107,322 (2014: $14,348,152 profit) The financial results for the year ended 31 December 2015 have been impacted by discontinuation of the foreign loyalty and payment solutions operations, including the disposal of all businesses registered in China. The decision to discontinue these operations was taken after the completion of a strategic review by the Board of the Company. This review found that: - 1. The businesses are likely to require material ongoing investment to make them profitable; and 2. The potential returns are uncertain, may not materialise for some time and are unlikely to be material. In September the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of the Meander Valley Dairy business. This business has contributed revenues of $789,890 and net profits of $47,405 for the period it was operated by the Group to 31 December 2015. Head Office expenses amounted to $3,724,524 for the year, with a number of expenditures that are not recurring. The employee benefits expense included equity based payments of $217,000 and the former CEO’s bonus of $850,000. There were also significant legal expenses incurred during the year in relation to the Van Diemen’s Land matter, and significant professional fees and other expenditure incurred in seeking and reviewing acquisition targets. MarketSmart contributed a profit of $133,642 for the year. The Group’s position as at 31 December 2015 is as follows:  Cash at bank and on hand  Total Current Assets:  Total Current Liabilities:  Total Non-Current Assets:  Net Assets: $2,798,864 $4,617,744 $1,176,541 $2,109,301 $5,550,504 (2014: $55,331,183) (2014: $58,595,043) (2014: $1,288,613) (2014: $52,126) (2014: $57,358,556) The financial position, and the net assets, of the Group have been significantly impacted by the share buy-back and dividend payments during the year. The Group’s position remains healthy and the Director’s believe the Group is in a good position to exploit any opportunities for merger and acquisition as they arise. Dividends On 16 February 2015 the Company declared an unfranked dividend of 9 cents per share, a total of $15,711,560. This dividend had a record date of 23 February 2015 and a payment date of 20 March 2015. The amount per security of this dividend that relates to foreign sourced income is 9 cents per share. Significant Change in State of Affairs Share Buy Back The off market, equal access share buy-back scheme, approved by shareholders on 25 May 2015, was closed on June 24 2015. 429 shareholders accepted the buyback offer for 153,709,376 shares. As such, the Company cancelled these shares on June 26, 2015 and made payment to accepting shareholders of the buy-back consideration, totalling $33,816,063. 4 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT Discontinued operations Following the strategic review carried out during the year, the Company has discontinued all overseas loyalty and payment solutions operations. During the year, all interests in Chinese entities were disposed of, with cash of $943,790 foregone in the disposal.

After Balance Date Events Issue of shares On 19 February 2016 the Company issued 22,232,000 ordinary shares at $0.25 (25 cents) per share to the sophisticated investors and investors associated with the Company who took up the shortfall in the Company’s share purchase plan offer (due to eligible shareholders not applying for their full entitlement of shares under the offer) and under a placement of new and fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Proposed acquisition of Nichols Poultry On 18 February 2016 the Company announced that it had entered into an option agreement to acquire Nichols Poultry Pty Ltd and associated assets (“Nichols Poultry”). Under the option TasFoods has the right to acquire 100% of the company that owns and operates the poultry processing business and facility and related plant and equipment, an electricity generating wind turbine and approximately 91 hectares of land on which the processing facility and wind turbine are located, together with a farm house, sheds and other improvements. The option to acquire Nichols Poultry expires on 31 May 2016 (but may be extended by the Company up to 30 June 2016 due to delays in the transaction timetable). Once exercised, the acquisition becomes unconditional and must occur within 5 days. At completion the Company will grant a lease of part of the land to the vendor for grazing and cropping for a period of 3 years, and enter into a grower’s agreement for him to raise chickens for the Nichols Poultry Business for a period of 3 years. The acquisition consideration is $12,550,000, subject to adjustments for the amount or value of stock, capital expenditure, accounts receivable, accounts payable, employee entitlements, bank debt and other liabilities of Nichols Poultry at the date of completion. Up to $2,000,000 of the consideration is to be satisfied by the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to the vendor at an issue price which is the lower of $0.30 (30 5 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT cents) and the issue price under a proposed capital raising. TasFoods has paid a $500,000 non-refundable option fee which will be applied to the consideration payable at completion, if the option is exercised. In addition, the Company has announced that it intends to raise up to $30,000,000 in capital to fund the acquisition and provide the Company with additional working capital. The Capital Raising is subject to shareholder approval. Completion of the agreement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including shareholder approval. Settlement of litigation regarding The Van Diemen’s Land Company acquisition As a consequence of the uncertainty that arose in relation to the proposed capital raising to fund the acquisition of the assets of The Van Diemen’s Land Company (VDL), the board of directors of TasFoods Limited (Company) formed the view that the prospects of obtaining specific performance of the Company’s agreement to acquire the VDL assets had diminished. Although the board believed the Company’s damages claim against New Plymouth District Council, Tasmanian Land Company Limited (TLC) and others for breach of that agreement was sound, the board was conscious that continuing the litigation would have required considerable costs and management time which could be better directed towards pursuing other opportunities for the Company. In the circumstances, the Company agreed on 22 January 2016 to settle the litigation. Under the terms of settlement, the Company received a cash payment of $1,250,000 from TLC in full and final settlement of the matter, made up of $500,000 refund of deposit and $750,000 recovery of costs. Issue of shares On 8 March 2016 the Company issued 1,200,000 ordinary shares at $0.25 (25 cents) per share to sophisticated investors to enable further acquisitions and other growth opportunities. Other Other than the above the Board are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in these financial statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operation of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years. Future Developments As noted above, the Company has acquired an option to acquire Nichols Poultry Pty Ltd and associated assets (“Nichols Poultry”). This acquisition is part of the Company’s strategy of building an integrated business based on premium food products primarily sourced from Tasmania, and follows on from the Company’s acquisition in 2015 of the Meander Valley Dairy. The Company intends to fund the acquisition by a raising up to $20 million from the issue of shares in the Company. The results of the Company and its assets base will be determined by the Company’s ability to complete this acquisition, as well as the identification and completion of further acquisitions. The Company is not yet in a position to provide detail as to these impacts as it undertakes due diligence procedures and other further investigation. Indemnity and Insurance of Officers The Company has indemnified the directors and executives of the Company for costs incurred, in their capacity as a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the Director and executive remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. A. Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and executives. To that end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework:     Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives; Focus on creating sustained shareholder value; Placing a portion of executive remuneration at risk, dependent upon meeting predetermined performance benchmarks; and Differentiation of individual rewards commensurate with contribution to overall results and according to individual accountability, performance and potential. A Remuneration Committee has been in place from 1 July 2008. The Committee has the responsibility for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, chief executive officer (CEO) or Managing Director and the senior management team. The Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors and senior managers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. Remuneration Structure The structure of non-executive Director, executive Director and senior manager remuneration is separate and distinct. Non-Executive Director Remuneration Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst Directors is reviewed annually. The Constitution and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) require that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The remuneration of each Director is then set at a level with the aggregate not exceeding the amount set. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 23 November 2009 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $400,000. Each Director receives a fee for being a Director of the Company. 7 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT Senior Management and Executive Director Remuneration The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:      Reward executives for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks; Align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; Link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards; and Executive remuneration is designed to support the Company’s reward philosophies and to underpin the Company’s growth strategy. The program comprises the following available components: - - Fixed remuneration component Variable remuneration component including short term incentive (STI) and long term incentive (LTI). Fixed Remuneration The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. The fixed (primary) remuneration is provided in cash. Variable Remuneration - Short Term Incentive (STI) The objective of the STl program is to link the achievement of the Company’s operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the Company is reasonable. Actual STI payments granted depend on the extent to which specific operating targets are met. The operational targets consist of a number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance. On an annual basis the individual performance of each executive is rated and taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the short term incentive pool allocated to each executive. The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Company are usually delivered in the form of a cash bonus. Variable Remuneration - Long Term Incentive (LTI) The objective of the LTI plan is to reward in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. As such, LTI grants are only made to executives who are able to influence the generation of shareholder wealth and thus have a direct impact on the Company’s performance against relevant long term performance hurdles. LTI grants to executives are delivered in the form of performance rights over ordinary shares. During the year the shareholders approved an Employee Share Option Plan under which share options were granted to directors and executives of the Company. Voting and comments made at the 2015 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) At the 2015 AGM, 36.75% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 31 December 2014. The Company has therefore received greater than 25% of eligible votes against the remuneration report. Consequently, the Company has received a ‘First Strike’ against its 2014 remuneration report. In these circumstances the Corporations Act 2001 requires the Company to include in this year’s remuneration report an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response to that First Strike or, alternatively, if the Board does not propose any action, the Board’s reason for such inaction. Subsequent to the AGM the Board’s composition has changed, and the remuneration packages of all executives has been reviewed. In addition, an Employee Share Option Plan has been introduced in order to provide directors and executives with long-term incentives that are linked to shareholders’ wealth. As such, the Company’s remuneration policy has not changed, and the remuneration committee consider that the level and structure of the its remuneration are suitable for the Company. Subsequent to the 2015 AGM, the Board and the remuneration committee has not engaged any remuneration consultants to advise on remuneration policy or the level or structure of its executive remuneration. 8 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT B.

Adherence to this policy is monitored informally on an annual basis by the Remuneration Committee requesting confirmation from each of the Executives that no such activity has occurred. 10 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT Details of Remuneration for the Year ended 31 December 2015 The individual remuneration for key management personnel of the Group receiving the highest remuneration during the year was as follows: SHORT TERM EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS POST EMPLOYMENT SHARE BASED PAYMENTS TOTAL Cash Salary and Fees $ Leave provision $ Cash Bonus Superannuation Contributions $ Share options $ $ 35,714 15,873 48,810 24,167 153,106 153,817 66,667 66,667 564,821 - - - 1,410 - - 3,949 3,103 8,462 - - - - 850,000 - - - 850,000 1,786 794 2,440 1,583 9,390 - 6,333 6,333 28,659 - 104,500 - 27,500 30,000 - 37,500 121,167 51,250 54,660 1,042,496 153,817 27,500 27,500 104,449 103,603 217,000 1,668,942 Directors Mr R Burney (i) Mr R Woolley (ii) Mr H Robertson Mr R McBain (iii) Mr A Robinson Mr A Killick (iv) Executives Ms J Bennett (v) Mr T Woolley (vii) (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) Mr Burney retired as Chairman and a director of the Company on 30 June 2015.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of these non-audit services by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. Details of amounts paid or payable are as follows: Auditors of the parent entity: Auditing the financial report (a) Non-audit services (b) PKF offices (c) Auditing companies Non-audit services - subsidiary companies financial the report – subsidiary 2015 $ 63,000 38,865 101,865 14,813 - 116,678 2014 $ 106,344 32,611 138,955 40,498 - 179,453 (a) BDO East Coast Partnership (“BDO”) are the auditors of TasFoods Limited.

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 Company and its controlled entities as a group for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. 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 18. The following is a summary of material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 31 March 2016. Historically the Group’s principal activity has been the provision of Loyalty, Rewards and Payment solutions. There has been a significant change in activities during the period with the cessation of all loyalty and reward solution operations. The group maintains a Payment solution, however, since September 2015, TasFoods has been focused on production of premium cream and dairy products. (a) Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements Compliance with IFRS The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Historical Cost Convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise noted. (b) 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 Company: - Has power over the investee; - - Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and The Company 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 19(b). 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. 22 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (c) Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of dispatch of the goods to the customer. Revenue from the provision of services to customers is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customer. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend revenue is recognised when the Group’s right to receive the payment is established. (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. (e) Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 7-30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectable amounts. (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is charged over the life of the asset on a straight line basis. The expected useful life is: Plant and equipment Office equipment Plant and Equipment 3 to 5 years 3 to 5 years Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis. 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. Office Equipment The carrying amount of computer equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. Computer equipment includes software used to operate the computer equipment. (g) Leases Operating lease payments are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the periods in which they are incurred, as this represents the pattern of the benefits derived from the leased assets. 23 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (h) Business Combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition- date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. (i) Intangibles 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 accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units, or groups of cash generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or group of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (group of cash generating units) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (group of cash generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit (group of cash generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. (j) Impairment of Assets Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised but are tested annually for impairment. Assets subject to annual depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 24 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (k) Income Taxes Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. A balance sheet approach is adopted under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised if it arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for temporary differences and unused tax losses only when it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. Tax Consolidation The Company and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have formed an income tax consolidated group effective 1 July 2010 under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach. Current tax liabilities or assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the controlled entities are immediately transferred to the head entity which is the Parent entity. No tax sharing or funding arrangements are presently in place. (l) Employee Benefits Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on the remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. (m) Financial Instruments 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) (ii) 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. 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. 25 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 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 though 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 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 principle payments and amortisation. (n) Foreign Currency Functional and Presentation Currency The financial statements of each group entity are measured using its functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, as this is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and Balances Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the Group are translated into functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) are translated using the spot rate at the end of financial year. Resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re-statement are recognised as revenues and expenses for the financial year. Group Companies The financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:    Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year; and All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve as a separate component of equity in the statement of financial position. 26 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (o) Trade and Other Payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. (p) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at balance date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Buffet Club – Hotel Expense: Provision is made for future hotel cost expense claims. Hotel accommodation entitlements are embodied within the Buffet Club packages sold. Future claims are reliably estimated from previous redemption history. (q) Contributed Equity Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. Ordinary share capital bears no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital entitlements of the shareholders. (r) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:  Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;  The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and  Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the year that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. (s) Comparatives Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. 27 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (t) New, Revised or Amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the year. There following new and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the year are relevant to the Group. AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount for Non-Financial Disclosures Assets to AASB 2013-4Amendments Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Improvements (Part A: Annual 2010 – 2012 and 2011 – 2013 cycles) impairment. Furthermore, The Group does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities that qualify for off-setting, and therefore the requirements of the amendments do not have a material impact upon the Group’s reporting requirements. The amendments to AASB 136 remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives had been allocated when there has been no the amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements applicable to when the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is measured at fair value less costs of disposal. The application of these amendments does not have a material impact upon the on the disclosures in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The amendments to AASB 139 provide relief from the requirement to discontinue hedge accounting when a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is novated under certain circumstances. The Group has no designated hedging instruments. The amendments therefore have no impact on the disclosures in the consolidated financial report. The amendments to AASB 10 define an investment entity and require a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity not to consolidate but instead to measure its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in its consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements. Based on the criteria set out in AASB 10 the Company is not an investment entity. Accordingly, the amendments do not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements. There are a number of amendments impacting AASB 2, AASB 3, AASB 8, AASB 13, AASB 116, AASB 138, AASB 124 and AASB 140. The amendments provide clarity around application and disclosure requirements, but do not materially impact the consolidated financial statements. 28 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (t) New, Revised or Amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not yet mandatory for 31 December 2015 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The major accounting standards that have not been early adopted for the year ended 31 December 2015, but will be applicable to the Group in future reporting years, are detailed below. Apart from these standards, the Group has considered other accounting standards that will be applicable in future years, however they have been considered insignificant to the Group.  AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the project to replace AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, which becomes mandatory for the Group’s 31 December 2017 financial statements.  AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 ‘Revenue’, IAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’, and IFRIC 13 ‘Customer Loyalty Programmes’. IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted.  AASB 16 ‘Leases’ introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. This standard becomes mandatory for the Group’s 31 December 2019 financial statements. As the Company has no significant leases of over 12 months it is not expected that the introduction of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements. The Group does not consider that the effect of the above standards on the financial statements will be material. 2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions concerning the future, which, by definition will seldom represent actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant inherent risk in respect of estimates based on future events, which could have a material impact on the assets and liabilities in the next financial year, are discussed below: (a) Purchase price allocation Meander Valley Dairy On 4 September 2014 the Company announced that it had acquired the business operations of the Meander Valley Dairy branded food products business (“Meander Valley”) based in Tasmania for consideration of $2,100,000. Included in the assets acquired were plant and equipment, customer contracts, brand names and goodwill. Where possible, the Company has allocated purchase consideration to separately identifiable assets. Purchase consideration of $220,600 has been allocated to plant and equipment. It has been determined that the customer contracts and brand names cannot be distinguished or separately identified from goodwill, or reliably measured. Accordingly, the remaining purchase consideration of $1,879,400 has been allocated to goodwill. (b) Impairment of Goodwill Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit (“CGU”) according to the applicable business operations. The recoverable amount of a CGU has previously been based on value-in-use discounted cash flow methodology. The Group’s assets include Goodwill of $1,879,400 in relation to the Meander Valley Dairy business. The generation of the carrying value of the Goodwill, and the estimates and judgments used in estimating the value-in-use discounted cash flow for the CGU are outlined in note 13. 29 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 (c) Share based payments During the year the Company established an Employee Share Ownership Plan, and issued share options to employees under the Plan. The share options constitute equity based payments in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments, and the options have been valued in accordance with the requirements of AASB 2. The options have been valued by independent consultants who used both the Black-Scholes and Binomial Option Pricing Models to determine the value of the options. The inputs used in the models were as follows: - - Risk-free rate of interest. The rate adopted was 1.9% per annum, being the yield at the close of business on 3 September 2015 on Australian Treasury Bonds whose maturity date provides the closest approximation to the expiry date of the options. - Volatility. Volatility is the measure of the level of fluctuation in the value of the underlying asset, in this case ordinary shares in the Company. The valuation model requires the estimation of future volatility. The volatility has been estimated using historic data from the share price of TasFoods Limited, of companies within the consumer staples market and of the wider market. The estimated volatility used in the model was 20%. - It was assumed that no dividend would be paid by the Company prior to the expiry period of the Options. - Discount for lack of marketability. The options issued are not transferrable without director approval. In addition, as the options are not listed on any exchange, it would be difficult to sell. Accordingly, a 50% discount has been applied in the valuation. Under the pricing model used the share options have been valued at $217,000. A change in any of the variables used in the valuation model would result in a change in the value estimated for the options. The cost related to the issue of the options has been expensed during the year. Any change in valuation would therefore impact the loss for the year. Details of the equity based payments are contained in note 26. (d) Restructure Provision The Company commenced winding up the Buffet Club Singapore operations prior to 31 December 2015 following a board decision that the benefits of further investment into the operations were outweighed by the potential downside following regulatory changes to outbound call centre sales operations. The remaining costs provided for windup of the Singapore company are SG$177,909 (AUD: $172,342 at 31 December 2015). The Company has entered voluntary liquidation, however, the process remains on- going. 30 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short term deposits. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks, including interest rate and currency risk 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 interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, 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 interest rate, foreign exchange and 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 overleaf. Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Chief Financial Officer under the authority of the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks identified below, including any hedging cover of foreign currency, interest rate risk, credit allowances, and future cash flow forecast projections. The carrying amounts and net fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities at balance date are: CARRYING AMOUNT 2014 2015 $ $ NET FAIR VALUE 2015 $ 2014 $ 2,798,864 1,718,070 - 4,516,934, 55,331,183 258,800 2,754,432 58,344,415 2,798,864 1,718,070 - 4,516,934 55,331,183 258,800 2,754,432 58,344,415 989,639 989,639 745,779 745,779 989,639 989,639 745,779 745,779 Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Investments in financial assets Non-Traded Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Non-Traded Financial Liabilities Risk Exposures and Responses Interest Rate Risk The Group’s exposure to market interest rate related primarily to the Group’s cash deposits. At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets exposed to Australian and overseas variable interest rate risks that are not designated as cash flow hedges: Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Investments in financial assets Net exposure 2015 $ 2014 $ 2,798,864 - 55,331,183 2,754,432 2,798,864 58,085,615 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. 31 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 Investments in financial assets refer to investments in “Hybrid Investments” which are a composition of debt and equity instruments which are traded on the ASX. The instruments comprise a combination of instruments comprising debt financing with fixed interest rates, with conversion components. The interest rate is fixed on acquisition, and the market value of the instrument is therefore impacted by increases and decreases in underling interest rates. Therefore, movements in the interest rate will be offset in the market value of the instrument, and accordingly no sensitivity has been carried out on the return on these instruments as the movement is not considered to be material. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate opportunity/risk relating to cash deposits at balance date. At 31 December, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows: Judgements of reasonably possible movements: +0.5% (50 basis points) -0.5 % (50 basis points) 2015 $ 2014 $ 13,994 (13,994) 276,656 (276,656) The movement in profits are due to higher/lower interest received. As the Group does not have any derivative instruments the movements in equity are those of profit only. A movement of + and – 0.5% is selected because this historically is within a range of rate movements. Foreign Currency Risk As a result of operations in China, Hong Kong and Singapore, the Group’s statement of financial position has previously been affected significantly by movements in the RMB/AUD, HKD/AUD and SGD/AUD exchange rates. As the Group has discontinued all foreign operations, it is no longer subject to significant foreign exchange risks. 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, who 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. The Group has Total Liabilities of $1,176,541 (2014: $1,288,613) of which $1,176,541 (2014: $1,288,613) is recorded as current liabilities and Total Current Assets of $4,617,744 (2014: $58,595,043) of which $2,798,864 (2014: $55,331,183) consists of cash or cash equivalents providing the Board with comfort that the Group is solvent and can meet its payment obligations in full as they fall due. All current liabilities fall due within normal trade terms, which are generally 30 days. 32 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 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 securitize 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. An analysis of the ageing of receivables is included in note 9. In addition, receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. 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. 4. REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME Revenue from Continuing Operations Sales Revenue Other income Interest received Settlement on legal matter (1) Total other income 2015 $ 2014 $ 1,019,390 450,750 1,019,390 450,750 706,918 750,000 862,130 - 1,456,918 862,130 1. During the year the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of The Van Diemen’s Land Company (“VDL”). As part of the agreement the Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $500,000. Subsequent to signing the agreement the Company received notice that the owners of VDL intended to terminate the agreement as it did not consider it possible that all conditions precedent would be satisfied. The Company subsequently came to an agreement with the owners of VDL under which the Company received compensation of $1,250,000 in full and final settlement of the matter, consisting of $500,000 refund of deposit and $750,000 costs reimbursement. During the year the Company incurred legal expenses in relation to this matter of $715,941. These expenses are included in Legal and Professional expenses. 33 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 5. EXPENSES Note 2015 $ 2014 $ Profit before income tax expense includes the following specific expenses: Employee benefits expense: Salaries and wages Share based payments Superannuation expense (defined contribution) Cash bonus Termination payments Total employment benefits Consultant fees Other employment expenses Total employment and contractor expense The expense above is split as follows: - Continuing operations Discontinued operations 1,395,215 217,000 49,831 850,000 1,444 2,513,490 294,386 77,218 2,885,094 1,785,340 - 82,163 - 376,135 2,243,638 1,836,371 63,460 4,143,469 1,999,723 885,371 2,885,094 2,046,680 2,096,789 4,143,469 Rental expense relating to operating leases 348,140 641,301 Impairment expense - Goodwill - 601,686 Investment expense 400,000 - Investment expense arises from costs relating to the identification of, and pursuit of investment and acquisition opportunities.

INCOME TAX Income tax (revenue)/expense Current tax (revenue)/expense Deferred tax movements Income tax (revenue)/expense is attributable to: Continuing operations Discontinued operations Deferred income tax (revenue)/expenses included in income tax expense comprises: Decrease in deferred tax assets Decrease in deferred tax liabilities Reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax on accounting profit (Loss)/Profit before income tax expense Tax (revenue)/expense at Australian tax rate of 30% (2014: 30%) Tax effect of amounts which are not deductible/taxable in calculating taxable income Non-assessable income - Gain on sale of SmartPASS - Share of profits from associate CGT assessable in sale of investment Withholding tax paid in foreign jurisdiction - On proceeds from sale of SmartPASS - On profit distribution from associate Difference in overseas tax rates Deferred taxes not recognised Tax losses now derecognised Income Tax (Revenue)/Expense for the Period Tax Losses Unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised: - - Capital losses - Revenue losses Potential tax benefit at 30% 2015 $ 2014 $ (9,767) - 3,943,176 3,129,429 (9,767) 7,072,605 - (9,767) (9,767) 22,754 7,049,984 7,072,605 - - - 3,597,473 (468,044) 3,129,429 (4,212,311) 19,010,585 (1,263,693) 5,703,176 777,953 3,633,991 - - - (10,768,297) (544,558) 1,345,274 - - (485,740) 3,641,124 428,365 3,439,075 12,075 463,898 - (9,767) 177,167 306,707 3,149,656 7,072,605 - 10,003,774 10,003,774 - 10,815,220 10,815,220 3,001,132 3,245,566 The benefit of these losses has not been brought to account at 31 December 2015 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax asset as being probable at this point in time. These tax losses are also subject to final determination by the Taxation authorities when the Group derives taxable income.

The balance relates to the Meander Valley Dairy business segment Before recognition of impairment losses, the carrying amount of the goodwill (other than goodwill relating to discontinued operations) was allocated to cash-generating business units as follows: Meander Valley Dairy MarketSmart Recoverable amount of goodwill Meander Valley Dairy 2015 $ 1,879,400- 601,000 2,480,400 2014 $ - 601,000 601,000 The recoverable amount of the Meander Valley Dairy business cash-generating unit (CGU) is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses, in accordance with AASB 136, pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board covering a five-year period. The key assumptions used in generating the cash flow projections are as follows: - - Revenue growth in 2016 is based upon expected sales based on existing revenues plus sales contracts secured pre-acquisition. Subsequent sales revenue growth has been estimated at 16% per annum on average. This is in line with previous growth levels experienced in the sales revenue, with average growth prior to acquisition being 14%. - Direct costs are estimated at consistent levels of 65% of revenues. - Indirect costs to grow over the period at an average of 10% per annum. This is in line with expected budgeted plans - A pre-tax discount factor of 10.3% has been applied to the cash flows. This discount factor is based on the Weighted Average Cost (“WACC”) of Capital of the Company, calculated using a risk free rate of return of 2%, a market risk premium of 5.5% and a beta factor of 1.5 - Terminal value of cash flows is calculated using a multiple of final year cash flows of 7 times. Management believes that no reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the CGU. 41 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 13. INTANGIBLE ASSETS – GOODWILL (CONTINUED) MarketSmart Management has yet to determine what actions will be undertaken with the MarketSmart CGU, and do not have any budgets or cash flow projection prepared for the CGU. Accordingly, the Goodwill that was impaired at 31 December 2014 remans full impaired at 31 December 2015. 14.

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 entity. Management are constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. During the year, management elected to pay a dividend of $0.09 (9 cents) per share, and repaid equity to shareholders out of proceeds from the sale of its joint venture interest. As a result, the Company now has a more flexible and manageable capital base, and can use this base to identify and pursue suitable acquisition and investment opportunities.

SEGMENT INFORMATION 2015 $ 2014 $ 31,000 - 134,000 27,000 The Group’s business has historically been segmented by the products it provided being Loyalty and Payment Solutions & Rewards and for the current financial year the segment Meander Valley Dairy has been included The operating segments are based on the units identified in the operating reports reviewed by the Board and executive management and that are used to make strategic decisions. The Board considers the Group from both a business unit and geographic perspective and has identified three reportable segments. The Meander Valley Dairy segment incorporates the Meander Valley Dairy business, the assets of which were acquired during the year. Corporate includes all costs which are not attributable to the Loyalty Solutions, the Rewards and Payments segments and the Meander Valley Dairy segment. The Payments & Rewards Australia/NZ segment consists of the MarketSMART loyalty system which provided services to a significant customer which in turn managed customer loyalty programmes. The customer terminated services in June 2015. Management are continuing to explore options to maximise the return to shareholders from this venture. During the year the Group discontinued operations in the Payment & Rewards China and Asia segments. Accordingly, these are not presented within continuing operating segment results.

BUSINESS COMBINATION Meander Valley Dairy On 4 September 2014 the Company announced that it had acquired the business operations of the Meander Valley Dairy branded food products business (“Meander Valley”) based in Tasmania for consideration of $2,100,000. The acquisition was completed on 17 September 2015 upon transfer of the share based portion of the purchase consideration. The acquisition is the first in the Company’s strategy of building an integrated business based on premium food products primarily sourced from Tasmania. Details of the acquisition were as follows: - Consideration Cash consideration Issue of 1,666,667 ordinary shares Note 16 $ 1,800,000 300,000 2,100,000 Acquisition-related costs amounting to $20,000 have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the current year within Legal and professional fees. Assets acquired Property plant and equipment Net tangible assets acquired Goodwill Purchase consideration Note 12 13 $ 220,600 220,600 1,879,400 2,100,000 Goodwill arose in the acquisition because the cost of the combination included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce of the Meander Valley Dairy. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill arising on these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. 53 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015 27. BUSINESS COMBINATION (CONT’D) Impact of acquisition on the result of the Group Included in the profit for the year is $47,405 attributable to the additional business generated by Meander Valley Dairy. Revenue for the year includes $789,890. Had these business combinations been effected at 1 January 2015, the revenue of the Group from continuing operations would have been $1,884,000, and the loss for the year from continuing operations would have been $1,982,000. The directors of the Group consider these 'pro-forma' numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods. In determining the ‘pro-forma’ revenue and profit of the Group Meander Valley Dairy been acquired at the beginning of the current year, the directors have: • calculated depreciation of plant and equipment acquired on the basis of the fair values arising in the initial accounting for the business combination rather than the carrying amounts recognised in the pre-acquisition financial statements; 28. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE Issue of shares On 19 February 2016 the Company issued 22,232,000 ordinary shares at $0.25 (25 cents) per share to the sophisticated investors and investors associated with the Company who took up the shortfall in the Company’s share purchase plan offer (due to eligible shareholders not applying for their full entitlement of shares under the offer) and under a placement of new and fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

The option to acquire Nichols Poultry expires on 31 May 2016 (but may be extended by the Company up to 30 June 2016 due to delays in the transaction timetable). Once exercised, the acquisition becomes unconditional and must occur within 5 days. At completion the Company will grant a lease of part of the land to the vendor for grazing and cropping for a period of 3 years, and enter into a grower’s agreement for him to raise chickens for the Nichols Poultry Business for a period of 3 years. The acquisition consideration is $12,550,000, subject to adjustments for the amount or value of stock, capital expenditure, accounts receivable, accounts payable, employee entitlements, bank debt and other liabilities of Nichols Poultry at the date of completion.

EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE (CONT’D) Settlement of litigation regarding The Van Diemen’s Land Company acquisition As a consequence of the uncertainty that arose in relation to the proposed capital raising to fund the acquisition of the assets of The Van Diemen’s Land Company (VDL), the board of directors of TasFoods Limited (Company) formed the view that the prospects of obtaining specific performance of the Company’s agreement to acquire the VDL assets had diminished. Although the board believed the Company’s damages claim against New Plymouth District Council, Tasmanian Land Company Limited (TLC) and others for breach of that agreement was sound, the board was conscious that continuing the litigation would have required considerable costs and management time which could be better directed towards pursuing other opportunities for the Company. In the circumstances, the Company agreed on 22 January 2016 to settle the litigation. Under the terms of settlement, the Company received a cash payment of $1,250,000 from TLC in full and final settlement of the matter, made up of $500,000 refund of deposit and $750,000 recovery of costs. Issue of shares On 8 March 2016 the Company issued 1,200,000 ordinary shares at $0.25 (25 cents) per share to sophisticated investors to enable further acquisitions and other growth opportunities. Other Other than the above the Board are not aware of any matter or circumstance not otherwise dealt with in these financial statements that has significantly or may significantly affect the operation of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years. 29 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES There are no matters which the Group consider would result in a contingent liability as at the date of this report. 55 For personal use only TASFOODS LIMITED DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION 1.
