Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018 1 For personal use only Chairman’s letter to shareholders Dear Shareholders On behalf of the board, management and Corum staff, thank you for your continued support of the Company. Throughout the year Corum continued to build a platform for organic growth through new product development, industry engagement and existing product and process improvements. The keystone investment has been the three-year software modernisation project. As part of this project, Corum Clear Dispense is now in testing across pharmacies in Australia and is expected to be operational in late 2018. The Corum Clear Dispense product will benefit pharmacists through its enhanced contextual workflow, speed of dispensing, ease of use, modular design and flexibility. It is also designed to evolve to future industry demands and integrate easily with third party products. With this strong, innovative and class leading product in place, Corum will continue to focus on improving its retail products, most notably Corum’s corporate head office solutions used by pharmacy groups to manage and support their members. Corum has continued to be an active participant with industry and government to understand and shape initiatives in digital health including My Health Record, Real Time Prescription Monitoring and ePrescribing. This enables Corum to have input into the design and direction of the initiatives that affect community pharmacy and to contribute to resolving industry issues. On numerous occasions, Corum has mentioned the efficiency program underway. This program of work is a journey of milestones, an emphasis on constant improvement to make the business more efficient and more profitable. During the year the business continued to concentrate on re- engineering processes, improving productivity and streamlining the organisation to be more efficient. Follow-on benefits from this work will be reflected throughout the 2019 financial year, with a cost reduction of approximately 15% expected. While reducing its cost base over the past 12 months, Corum has at the same time, honed the performance of its products. Several revisions for the core LOTS programs with enhanced capabilities have been released over the year. These updates brought market best performance, greater reliability and new features to customers. Corum’s software engineers also automated many processes relating to installation and support. This resulted in quicker product installations and more effective product support. With work on product improvement and internal efficiency well progressed, the Company is focused on acquisition of new customers and a net increase in the customer base. Customer movement between pharmacy groups results in regular changes to Corum’s customer base. Corum is responding to this churn and is determined to grow revenue; the Company is targeting net new customers to increase by 10% in the coming financial year. Value added solutions to the core point-of-sale and dispense systems now create more than 25% of Corum’s recurring revenue. These include the business recovery Safeguard product, the cloud archiving tool ScriptARC, script exchange services and the cash-flow management tool Corum Bill Payment. Corum has also established a program which identifies, seeks out and reviews inorganic growth (merger, acquisition and partnering) opportunities. Numerous opportunities have been pursued and considered during the year. Although some were not a commercial proposition, a number remain live at this stage. These endeavours have and continue to require the extensive involvement of all Board members. Although Corum will pursue new inorganic growth opportunities, it will also continue to work with and monitor existing opportunities for the possibility that they may offer benefits to Corum’s shareholders and customers. Corum remains positioned to participate in any industry consolidation and for any partnership opportunities. The Board and management remain committed to Corum customers, shareholders and staff. Yours sincerely Bill Paterson Chairman 26 September 2018 2 2 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018 For personal use onlyChief Executive Officer’s report Technology and innovation play significant roles in Profit transforming business and the way we live our lives. In health there are a myriad of applications competing to connect and support digitally, healthcare providers and individuals. Reference to the “healthcare industry” does not do justice to the complex and fragmented nature of the sector and the challenges facing the industry as it attempts to deliver on the promise of enhanced communication and digital technology. For the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group achieved a statutory after tax profit of $251,000 compared to a prior year loss of $5.9 million after goodwill impairment. During the year Corum has focused on addressing the underlying causes of revenue decline, automating and streamlining internal operations, investing in new products and capabilities, investigating growth opportunities and engaging more closely with industry and government. The Government’s focus on reducing the cost of the PBS has driven the pharmacy sector to seek revenue growth Revenue outside traditional sources, with emphasis on professional Revenue for the year of $12.6 million was down services and retail operations. To support this, banner $2.2 million on the previous period. The health business groups with strong clinical programs, buying and accounted for $1.8 million of the decrease. Most of the marketing power, and a disciplined approach to retailing current year revenue decline is attributable to banner are proving attractive to many independent pharmacies. group decisions in 2015 and 2016 to standardise on During such changes, Corum remains focused on putting our customers first to support their success and the care of their patients. Corum is at the centre of community pharmacy; providing the core software that helps pharmacists run their businesses successfully and connect seamlessly with other services, systems and data repositories. As a result of this positioning, Corum is well placed to introduce further solutions to pharmacies either directly or by way of partnerships. Pharmacy groups play a key role in the industry and Corum supports them through our integrated and sophisticated head office solutions that assist them to manage and have visibility of their network of members. Corum is continuing to focus on these groups and is further developing products that support them. other software products. Much of the revenue change occurred in the first half of the financial year. Increased market presence, branding, the delivery of new products, and the release of new features in existing products are delivering greater customer and revenue stabilisation and stimulating more interest from potential customers and banner groups. Other Revenue has been generated by the new Safeguard Plus and ScriptARC products, which are Corum proprietary and complementary products to our core dispense and point of sale solutions. Safeguard Plus has been taken up by nearly 30% of customers after a year in the market. eCommerce revenue reduced slightly to $2.5 million, $0.3 million less than the prior period. Improved sales in the second half raised customer numbers. This lift in numbers was driven primarily by strong service levels leading to referral business from existing customers. Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018 3 For personal use onlyProduct Development • ScriptARC enables pharmacies to digitise paper During the financial year the Company capitalised $3.3 million (FY17: $1.4 million) for the development of new applications, in particular the new Corum Clear dispensing system and head office products. The new dispense system is currently in trial at a number of pharmacies in preparation for government PBS certification and fully operational pilots are scheduled in October 2018. Corum Clear Dispense underpins Corum’s future commitment to the pharmacy sector. In addition to its immediate user benefits, Corum Clear Dispense has been designed with the long term in mind. While it is structured as a cloud based application, it will be deployed locally as Corum believes national telecommunication networks do not yet have the reliability to support it. The application has deep standardised third party integration capabilities so future products can be added easily. The framework simplifies future changes and decreases the effort required for upgrades. With its short development time Corum Clear Dispense has been able to utilise the latest in application technology, putting it well ahead of competitors. In the past two years, Corum has developed strong expertise in cloud services. The Safeguard Plus, ScriptARC, and Corum Clear Reports products all use cloud services and technology. Cloud introduces different security and data protection risks which Corum has addressed with external audits, secure by design development practices, and certification of its cloud infrastructure, internal systems and data security protocols. This approach has placed Corum at the forefront of health data security. prescriptions for easy, secure storage and retrieval in the cloud. It eliminates the need for boxes of scripts to be held in the store and the integration with dispense enables missing documents to be quickly identified. Investment in existing applications is expensed as it is incurred and in FY18 was $1.4 million (FY17: $1.6 million). The core LOTS programs had three major enhancements in the past 18 months, with a focus on performance, additional features and new partner integrations. Recent enhancements for installation, support and software updates were included, having been identified by Corum’s internal efficiency program. The products can be installed remotely, allowing shorter cycle times for new feature releases, and for improved ease of support. Hardware and related activity has been significantly modified during the year with range standardisation, factory imaged products, centralised deployment and remote support, all successfully rolled out. These changes are expected to better support our customers’ and streamline Corum’s operations. Cost The internal efficiency programs have addressed the necessary changes to reshape the cost base while minimising the impact on customer experience through strong organisational and product performance. The program has focused on re-engineering processes, improving productivity, and increasing automation. These programs have and will continue to positively impact the operating cost base of the business, which at $11.9 million was $1.2 million less than last year. The investment in ancillary products extends the solutions Cash Corum has for pharmacies: Operating cash flow was $0.3 million for the financial year. It was constrained by a delay in distributions receivable of • Safeguard Plus incorporates a device installed in the $1.2 million at year end. pharmacy to run their core systems while at the same time providing seamless, rapid, pro-active business recovery tools that perform well beyond the traditional daily backup. No other competing product offers such features. The cash balance at 30 June 2018 was $5.0 million. Cash at the end of the first quarter of FY19 is anticipated to be $6.7 million, including receipts of unpaid distributions and the research and development tax incentive. Net assets at 30 June 2018 of $14.2 million have increased by $0.3 million. 44 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use onlyOutlook Extensive work in improving the operational performance of the business and its products, has been substantially completed. Whilst the efficiencies effort will be ongoing, the emphasis is now switching to revenue growth across key customer segments, including banner groups and independent pharmacies. Corum Clear Dispense will be a key feature in a year in which the Company will also focus on further improving its head office and retail store solutions. Corum has increased its industry presence and will continue to pursue opportunities for industry partnerships, and revenue growth in the evolving digital health sector and related adjacencies. Corum appreciates the contribution of its strong and loyal team and their commitment to our future.

Principal activities The Corum Group is a technology and software development company that operates two distinct business segments: • Corum Health which develops and distributes business software for the pharmacy industry with particular emphasis on point-of-sale and pharmaceutical dispensing software, support services and associated computer hardware; and • Corum eCommerce which develops and manages a financial gateway providing financial transactional processing for electronic bill payments and funds transfer services to the real estate industry and corporate and government clients. Operating and Financial Review Corum Health revenue flows from the sale of software, hardware and recurring related services, subscription and support fees and from an investment in an entity which provides other technology services to pharmacies. from The business has an extensive, self-developed, product catalogue that supports pharmacies dispensing and point-of-sale lines of businesses and associated activities. It also provides solutions for pharmacy groups by way of head office systems that assist with the management of stores in group networks. The business has a product development function creating and maintaining these products, providing a full service call centre for real time product support, and state-based technical, sales and business development teams. Corum eCommerce revenue is derived from recurring service charges and fees. The business includes an operations team and transactional systems development. transaction-based There was no significant change to the nature of operations in either business during the financial period. FY18 saw the application of the strategy which encompassed: • Improving internal productivity and adapting the organisation; • Investing in new and existing product; and • Seeking out opportunities to grow from organic and in-organic activity Each of these strategic pillars was pursued during the year. Details of Corum financial performance are provided in the FY18 Financial Statements appended to this Directors’ Report. Net profit after tax amounted to $251,000 compared to a loss of $5.9 million last year which included a goodwill impairment of $6.3 million. Revenue for the year was $12.6 million a decrease of 14.8% on the prior period. Health Services revenue of $10 million was impacted by previously foreshadowed customer group changes, including Chemist Warehouse whose adoption of an in-house solution impacted health revenues by 4.9%. The loss of tenders in 2015 and 2016 for several banner groups also impacted revenue as they transitioned their members, with varying degrees of success. Revenue decline has been partially mitigated by the introduction of new complementary products that leverage the core point-of-sale and dispense offering. Ecommerce revenue for FY18 was $2.5 million, a 10% decrease on the prior period. The eCommerce business markedly slowed its rate of decline in the last half of the year. There are signs of a tightening compliance regime as the banking royal commission puts the spotlight on the financial services. The business remains profitable, though compliance changes may impact its revenue stream and profitability. The Company’s previously announced transformational and efficiency program was advanced during FY18. The primary focus was on enhancing existing products, re-engineering processes, improving productivity, and reshaping and aligning the organisation to its revenue base. While work remains, the initial transformational project is substantially complete with ongoing benefits expected during FY19. During FY18 the Company’s major dispense and point of sale products were significantly enhanced with improvements and new features. These updates were deployed to all customers and also incorporated changes that improved the efficiency of product support. 7 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use onlyDirectors’ report continued Review of operations continued Investment has been applied to the development of both existing and new products, including the new Corum Clear Dispense. This dispense system is nearing completion and remains on track for government approval and fully operational in pharmacies in the first half of FY19. The Company applied $4.7 million (FY17: $3.3 million) to research and development during FY18, of which $3.3 million was for new products which were capitalised as intangible assets. These products target specific needs within the pharmacy space and enable the Company to provide a broader base of solutions to the market. Major overhead expense categories were lower or flat compared to last year, with overall costs down by $1.2 million supported by the efficiency projects which are producing sustainable reductions in the cost base. Cash held by Corum at the end of the financial year was $5.0m, compared with $8.1m at the end of June 2017. The reduction in cash is mainly due to lower revenue, increased investment in new and enhanced products, and the timing of an amount receivable, as detailed in the notes to the financial statements. Both the research and development tax incentive and the receivable are expected to add $2.9m to the Company’s cash flow position in the first half of FY19. Outlook Corum completed a strategic business review in late FY17, the recommendation of which was adopted by management and the board to focus resources on the Health Services segment. With the business investing in Corum Health during FY18, the focus has been the ongoing transformation and a return to growth. Underpinning Corum’s investment is the new Dispense system, Corum Clear, which underwrites Corum’s future commitment to the pharmacy sector. Coupled with the dispense application, Corum is improving its retail solutions, in particular the corporate head office product which assists groups managing store networks. The results of the revised strategy and business transformation will provide Corum with greater opportunities assisted by consolidating its position in community pharmacy, leading industry consolidation, playing a significant role the evolving digital health landscape and the pursuit of other adjacent opportunities to leverage the Company’s strengths. in Significant changes in the state of affairs In the opinion of the directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the financial year under review not otherwise disclosed in the Directors’ Report or the accompanying financial statements.

Significant accounting policies Parent entity information The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted Interpretations The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have in accordance with Australian been prepared Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 27. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Corum Group Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Corum Group Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘Group’. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an entity, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an entity. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 20 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use onlyNotes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill is not subject to amortisation and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed in impairment whenever events or changes for circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in- use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash- generating unit. Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. Comparative figures Comparatives have been realigned where necessary, to agree with current year presentation. There was no change in the profit or net assets. Rounding of amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding- off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below. AASB 9 Financial Instruments This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. 21 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use onlyNotes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income (‘OCI’). For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New impairment requirements will use an ‘expected credit loss’ (‘ECL’) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and it is anticipated that the adoption of this standard in future periods will have no material financial impact on the financial statements of the Group. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. AASB 15 supersedes existing guidance in AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 11 Construction Contracts and is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2018. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and/or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to receive for those goods and/or services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step revenue recognition and any associated costs: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or over time as) the entity satisfies performance obligations. In Corum’s case AASB 15 would recognise revenue when (or as) our performance obligations are satisfied, for example when “control” as in the case of hardware sales or the ability to access and utilise the software licences is granted. The group is still assessing the impact of implementing AASB 15 as such the impact is not currently reasonably estimable. AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a ‘right-of- use’ asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a ‘right-of-use’ asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be higher as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and the actual impact will depend on the operating lease assets held by the Group as at 1 July 2019 and the transitional elections made at that time. 22 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use onlyNotes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions its to make The preparation of the financial statements requires management judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. Goodwill and other intangibles assets The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the stated accounting policy. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated, has been determined based on value-in- use calculations using budgets and forward estimates. These budgets incorporate management’s best estimates of projected revenues adopting growth rates based on historical experience, anticipated market growth and the expected result of the cash generating unit‘s initiatives. Costs are calculated taking into account historical and planned gross margins, estimated inflation rates consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the cash generating unit operates, and other planned and expected changes to the cost base. Product Development Costs Recovery of deferred tax assets The group incurs significant costs associated with the development of products for which benefits accrue over many reporting periods. This requires management to critically review software product development (net of research and development incentives) costs to clearly delineate development and the relationship with future potential benefits that are likely to accrue. This assessment of what constitutes product development for capitalisation and the expected future benefits to derive the amortisation period, once the asset is available for use or being marketed, is a series of critical judgements management is required to make based upon historic product performance, market knowledge and analysis. The value of deferred tax assets is determined based on estimates as to the extent those assets are likely to be utilised or available to be utilised in future periods. Employee benefits provision The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account. Note 3.

Revenue continued Accounting policy for revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable the economic benefit will flow to the group and that revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of goods and services tax (GST). Rendering of services Revenue from rendering of services is recognised in proportion to the stage of contract completion. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognised by amortising the payments received on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract as the performance obligations are satisfied. Sale of goods Sale of goods revenue is recognised when the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and trade discounts. Revenue from unlisted entity Revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Government grants Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants relating to assets are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to income over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield of the financial asset. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Note 4.

The programme provides targeted tax offsets to encourage Companies to engage in Research and Development. The resulting tax offset has been included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive Income as research and development tax benefit. The incentive has been accounted for as a government grant in accordance with AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, resulting in the incentive being recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period(s) in which the entity recognises, as expenses, the costs for which the incentive was intended to compensate. For the costs that have been capitalised during the period, the respective incentive has been deferred by deducting from the carrying amount of the asset. 25 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use only Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 6.

These tax losses can be used as an offset against taxable income in accordance with the consolidated tax group rules. The potential future tax benefits arising from tax losses and temporary differences have been recognised as deferred tax assets only to the extent that: • the Group is likely to derive future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be realised; • no changes or proposed changes in legislation are likely to adversely affect the Group’s ability to realise these benefits; and • the Group is likely to continue to comply with conditions for deductibility of losses imposed by tax legislation. The Group has tax losses for which no deferred tax asset is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Income tax continued Accounting policy for income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, except for: • When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or • When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses, and where the availability of losses is reasonably certain. In particular, the potential future tax benefits arising from tax losses and temporary differences have been recognised as deferred tax assets only to the extent that the Group is likely to continue to comply with conditions for deductibility of losses imposed by tax legislation. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. Corum Group Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly- owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime with effect from July 2004. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘group allocation’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group. tax funding liabilities arising under Assets or agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. 27 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use onlyNotes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 7.

Operating segments Identification of reportable operating segments The Group is organised into two operating segments: Health Services and eCommerce. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. Consideration is given to the nature and distinctiveness of the products or services sold, the manner in which they are provided, and the organisational structure. The CODM reviews profit/(loss) before income tax (‘segment result’). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. The Group operates predominantly in Australia. Types of services The principal services of each of these operating segments are as follows: Health Services – Provides dispense, point-of-sale and head office management software applications, along with hardware and support services to Australian pharmacies; and eCommerce – Provides individuals and businesses the opportunity to pay their rent, utilities, local government fees and commercial obligations via electronic methodologies. Intersegment transactions An internally determined transfer price is set for all inter- segment sales. This price is reset annually and is based on an external party at arm’s length pricing. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation. to Corporate charges are allocated reporting segments based on the segments’ overall proportion of revenue generation within the Group, or estimates of the time individuals apply to each segment, which is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure. For the purpose of segment reporting and the understanding of segment performance, the net benefit of research and development tax incentives are disclosed in the segment to which they relate. Intersegment receivables, payables and loans Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration receivable or payable. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non-market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation. Interest is not charged on intercompany balances. Segment assets and liabilities Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives the majority of the economic benefit from that asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are not allocated to specific segments. Unallocated items The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment: • Income tax expense • Deferred tax assets and liabilities, and current tax assets and liabilities • Cost associated with being listed on the Australian Securities Exchange • Inter-company balances • Other financial liabilities Major customers During the year ended 30 June 2018 the Group did not have any major customers that individually contributed more than 10% of total revenue (2017: none). 29 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use onlyNotes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 8.

Current assets – trade and other receivables continued The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties, and did not consider a significant credit risk on the aggregate balances after reviewing the credit terms of customers based on recent collection practices. Accounting policy for trade and other receivables Trade receivables to be settled within normal trading terms are carried at amounts due, which is considered to be reflective of fair value given their short term nature. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

Historical cost includes expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on the diminishing value method for assets acquired up to June 2010 and the straight-line basis thereafter to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows: Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment 2-5 years 2-12 years The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. 34 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use only Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 13: Non–current assets – intangibles Goodwill – at cost Less: Impairment Software product development – at cost Less: Research and development incentives Consolidated 2018 $’000 15,363 (10,819) 4,544 4,686 (1,998) 2,688 7,232 2017 $’000 15,363 (10,819) 4,544 1,410 (573) 837 5,381 Reconciliations Reconciliations of the values at the beginning and end of the current and previous financial year are set out below: Consolidated Balance at 1 July 2016 Additions Research and development incentives Impairment of goodwill Balance at 30 June 2017 Additions Research and development incentives Balance at 30 June 2018 Goodwill $’000 10,821 – – (6,277) 4,544 – – 4,544 Software product development $’000 Total $’000 – 10,821 1,410 (573) – 837 3,276 (1,425) 2,688 1,410 (573) (6,277) 5,381 3,276 (1,425) 7,232 Goodwill relates to the acquisitions in 1991 of the Lockie from older dispense products to the new Corum Computer business by Pharmasol Pty Limited and the Clear Dispense.

Review of carrying values The recoverable value of the cash generating unit is determined on a value-in-use calculation (VIU). Value- in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections, approved by management, over a seven year period with a terminal value of 7.5 times discounted Year 7 EBITDA. Cash flows were based on both budgets and projections using historic and long term growth rates based upon past experience and in Research and development tax benefits are excluded for the purpose of EBITDA based calculations. Cash flows are discounted at 12% (2017: 12%) per annum which incorporates an appropriate equity risk premium. Costs are calculated taking into account historical and planned gross margins, estimated inflation rates for the year consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the cash generating unit operates, and other planned and expected changes to the cost base. particular expectations of external market performance considering substantively improved products in the The review of the carrying value, and subsequent the need for no impairment charge resulted from taking market.

Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets and assets not yet available for use in the manner intended by management are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the de-recognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period. Goodwill Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Note 14: Current liabilities – trade and other payables Trade payables Sundry creditors and accruals Deferred rent expense eCommerce payments awaiting clearance (net of Significant costs associated with software product development research and development incentives) are capitalised and amortised on a straight- line basis over the period of their expected benefit. Amortisation commences when the asset is available for use in the manner intended by management. Research and development costs Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project. Impairment of non-financial assets An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value- in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Accounting policy for short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Employee benefits relate to the Group’s liability for long service leave and annual leave. The entire amount of the provision for annual leave is presented as current since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of any of this obligation. Based on past experience the Group expects that in aggregate employees will take or receive payment for the full amount of accrued leave within the next 12 months.

Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 38 Date 1 July 2016 26 November 2016 30 June 2017 30 June 2018 Shares 255,917,592 250,000 256,167,592 256,167,592 $’000 86,283 – 86,283 86,283 Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current Company’s share price at the time of the investment. Accounting policy for issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Financial instruments Financial risk management objectives The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Different methods are used to measure different types of risk to which the Group is exposed, such as sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate risk and ageing analysis for credit risk. Market risk Foreign currency risk The Group has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk. Interest rate risk The Group’s financial instrument exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for classes of financial assets and liabilities are: Consolidated Cash on deposit Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk Weighted average interest rate % 2.57% 2018 2017 Weighted average interest rate % Balance $’000 4,826 4,826 2.26% Balance $’000 7,878 7,878 An official increase/(decrease) in interest rates of 26 (2017: 27) basis points would have a favourable/adverse effect on profit before tax of $12,550 (2017: $21,300) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates of a 10% movement, using market data and analysts forecasts. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group mitigate credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral. Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are considered to be high credit quality. Liquidity risk Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate financial resources are maintained on an ongoing basis. Remaining contractual maturities The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position. 40 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use only Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 20: Financial instruments continued Liquidity risk continued Consolidated 2018 Non-derivatives Non-interest bearing Trade and other payables Total non-derivatives 2017 Non-derivatives Non-interest bearing Trade and other payables Total non-derivatives 1 year or less $’000 Between 1 and 2 years $’000 Between 2 and 5 years $’000 Over 5 years $’000 Remaining contractual maturities $’000 1,685 1,685 2,020 2,020 – – – – – – – – – – – – 1,685 1,685 2,020 2,020 The cash flows in the maturity analysis above are not expected to occur significantly earlier than contractually disclosed above.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Unless prior shareholder approval is obtained, the maximum number of performance rights, shares or share options that may be issued by the directors pursuant to the respective plan shall not exceed 5% of the number of shares on issue. There are no voting or dividend rights attached to performance rights or options prior to their exercise. There were no performance rights or share options granted during FY18 (2017: nil). Set out below are summaries of performance rights previously granted under the plan: Grant date 2017 27/11/2013 Balance at the start of the year Exercise price Expiry date Granted Vested Balance at the end of the year Lapsed 26/11/2016 $0.00 250,000 – (250,000) – – If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification. Accounting policy for share-based payments for employment services Equity-settled transactions are awards of performance rights, options over shares, or shares that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is determined using pricing models such as the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions in determining fair value. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met provided all other conditions are satisfied. 43 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2018For personal use only Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2018 continued Note 27: Parent entity information Set out below is the supplementary information about the parent entity.
