Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 1 Chairman’s letter to shareholders Dear Shareholders On behalf of the Company, I comment on the progress that has been made this financial year. It was again a challenging year that included the completion and release of the Company’s major software project, Corum Clear Dispense, albeit beyond the planned time frame. However, the modernisation of Corum is progressing and I believe the board’s intent that Corum develops long-term profitability and growth is being achieved. The trends in community pharmacy mean digital, data and technology have an ever-increasing role in how pharmacies deliver their services to customers. As a result, pharmacies need to be more productive and are increasingly working cooperatively or joining banner groups in order to operate their business more efficiently, effectively and to improve outcomes for their customers and patients. The directors have set management the task of capitalising on the opportunities these trends present. Management has initiated the Clear brand strategy to develop a suite of products which are now either ready or in progress to respond to these market pressures. Corum’s full potential cannot be achieved unless the business can deploy software to large groups at a much greater speed and scale than it could previously. Significant progress has been made in developing this capability which is now substantially improved and being implemented. Over the remainder of 2019, Corum is targeting a 3-5% net increase in pharmacist customers. Relevant to achieving this target it is pleasing to see Corum Clear Dispense is currently gaining traction in the market with a significant number of key customers. Our board remains determined to support management in its efforts to make Corum a better business; one that benefits customers, employees, and our shareholders. I would like to thank you for your continued support of Corum Group. Yours sincerely Bill Paterson Chairman 29 August 2019 2 2 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 Chief Executive Officer’s report Corum’s revenue performance for FY19 was below expectations, largely due to the new dispense product not being available when planned. Revenue consequently was $11.2 million, down $1.3 million compared to the prior year. Profit after tax and before impairment was $339,000 compared to $251,000 in the prior year. Costs were managed effectively falling 11%, offsetting the lower revenue. The legacy goodwill of $4.5 million was written off resulting in an after-tax statutory loss of $4.2 million. The Operating and Financial Review in the Directors’ Report contains further commentary on the financial results. At the 2017 AGM, Corum outlined its focus on the three pillars of stabilising the business, transforming its operations and preparing for growth. The first was completed swiftly within that year, the second has become a continuing process and part of the business’ DNA which has enabled the business to manage its cost base and lower its cost to serve. The third pillar related to setting the foundations for the business to grow. During the 2019 financial year the business has been preparing for its future through: • a renewed approach to engaging with customers, • a roadmap of product redesign and modernisation under the new Corum Clear brand, • • the development of revised go-to-market templates and channels, the building of capability to rapidly scale and deploy software cost-effectively, with a particular focus on large pharmacy groups, • applying lessons from the new dispense system development to improve the management and delivery of complex projects, and • placing an increased focus on our people and culture. Corum has reorganised its business around three areas of expertise - Clinical, Retail and Enterprise. Each area of expertise is targeted to provide a discrete solution to address specific challenges facing the community pharmacy sector. At the same time, we are establishing skills, products and business structures that are replicable into other segments, adjacencies or geographies. The clinical segment is centred on dispense, medications management and other patient centred systems. During the year Corum has completed the first stage of the Corum Clear Dispense platform. This development is a significant milestone for Corum and the industry. In use since February, it is now commercially available for a wide segment of the pharmacy market and has been broadly acknowledged for its intuitive ease of use, speed of operation, stability and user-centric design that supports pharmacists to dispense quickly and safely. A more comprehensive suite of integrations with third party software providers are now in progress adding further value to our customers and broadening our accessible market. Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 3 Chief Executive Officer’s Report continued Retail and Enterprise segments are closely linked. Retail is centred on in-store solutions, particularly point-of- sale such as LOTS POS, as well as new and emerging ‘digital trends’ in retail. The Enterprise segment recognises the importance of large banner groups and other groups that require solutions to manage and support multi-store environments. Corum already has one of the leading solutions in its RPM head office software solution. Pressure on pharmacy margins is driving a focus on efficiency and store management, and we believe there are significant opportunities and gaps in this segment which are not well serviced by competitors. Corum is upgrading its capabilities in both retail and enterprise and is well advanced with a new cloud-based Corum Clear Head Office software solution, and redesigned Corum Clear Point of Sale. Both developments are benefiting from significant customer input into the design and are expected to become available through FY20 and into FY21. The above capabilities and areas of focus are resonating with the broader market and more specifically with the significant customer groups with whom we are engaging. The industry launch of Corum Clear Dispense has seen a significant increase of interest in Corum’s solutions, particularly amongst large banner groups. The business is forging closer working ties with these groups who are contributing to the design and development of new products. Corum has a long term and loyal customer base using its existing LOTS products and is committed to maintaining this platform. During the year upgrades to existing clinical and retail products were released to the pharmacy market including: • MyHR integration to support submitting and reading patient records with the Government’s digital platform, • Integration with the Victorian SafeScript program to manage medications safety and particularly the monitoring of drugs of addiction, and • Simplification of the installation process and delivering a range of enhancements based on customer feedback. The RPM Head Office solution similarly has had significant changes designed to introduce greater flexibility and additional time saving features for enterprise customers. The Safeguard product continued to demonstrate its market leading capabilities with usage rising 8.3% compared to last year and is now in use by over 30% of Corum customers. As Corum enters the new financial year it does so with a significant focus on people and culture. Corum Culture 2020 is a people focused and employee driven initiative that has developed the values and behaviours expected of each individual, team and management group at Corum. 44 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Chief Executive Officer’s Report continued Outlook With a new Corum Clear branded product suite, and deep industry engagement, Corum is on the cusp of significant change. The recent launch of Corum Clear Dispense has seen a significant increase in interest from large banner groups in the Corum product portfolio. The team has a strong belief it can deliver to shareholders and customers alike and drive growth in customer numbers during the coming financial year. With the substantive change achieved and underway within the business, Corum now has the capability to rapidly scale. This is essential to improve underlying profitability and undertake large scale deployments within the enterprise pharmacy sector. The initial releases of Corum Clear products for point of sale and head office solutions are expected during fiscal 2020-21. Strategically, and building on industry and government engagement, Corum will also seek to pursue opportunities arising within the digital health and retail sector’s including industry partnerships and adjacencies. Corum has a significant opportunity for growth over the next two-three years which to achieve requires investment in product and operational execution. In order to do this Corum must address short-term capital challenges largely brought about by a lengthy delay in receipt of significant investment revenues. In the face of these challenges, Corum is seeking additional funding to support the ability to invest in new products at a rate beyond that which Corum could otherwise achieve. We expect this process to be completed in the first half of this financial year. I wish to thank Corum’s customers and business partners for their loyalty and ongoing support, and to my very committed Corum team, who have worked tirelessly to position the business for growth in 2020 and beyond.

David has many years’ experience in executive financial and company secretarial roles in Australia and overseas, and has diverse industry experience including retail and healthcare. David was the Group’s Chief Financial Officer between 2013 and 2017. Dividends No dividends for the years ended 30 June 2019 or 30 June 2018 have been declared. 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 industry with particular emphasis on point-of-sale and pharmaceutical dispensing support services and computer hardware; and the pharmacy software, for • 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 eCommerce’s revenue is derived from recurring service charges and transaction-based fees, primarily in relation to residential rental transactions. The business includes operational and software development teams. Revenue for Corum Health is derived from the sale of hardware, training and related services; from recurring software subscriptions; software development services; and distributions from an investment in an entity which provides other technology services to pharmacies. The health business has an extensive product portfolio consisting of self-developed products that support pharmacy dispensing, point of sale and related activities. It also provides pharmacy groups with head office systems that assist with the management of, amongst other things, multiple stores. Corum maintains a product development function creating and updating such products, a full service call centre, along with technical and business development teams. During the current year there were no significant changes to the operation of either business. During the 2019 financial year Corum Health’s key focus areas were: • Partnering with customers, engaging with banner groups and industry. • Strengthening the organisation’s resources and leadership. • Aligning the business cost structure with its revenue base. • Building capability to scale and deploy rapidly. • Bringing Corum Clear Dispense to the market. • The design and development of Corum Clear Point of Sale and cloud based Corum Clear Head Office solutions; and • People and culture. These initiatives saw the business remain operationally profitable, consume cash across product development, and set-up the business to respond to gaps in the market. Details of Corum’s financial performance are provided in the FY19 Financial statements appended to this directors’ report. Profit For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group has reported an operating profit after-tax and before impairment of $339,000 which compares to $251,000 in the prior year. The directors have addressed the issue of the remaining goodwill on Corum’s balance sheet which related to legacy products from the 1990s acquisition of the Lockie Computer Business by Pharmasol Pty Ltd and the Amfac business by Amfac Pty Ltd. After considering the fair market based carrying value using the value in use methodology and with Corum Clear Dispense now in the market, the directors resolved to apply a $4.5 million impairment charge to write off the remaining balance. This resulted in a statutory loss for the financial year of $4.2 million. The operating profit was achieved as a result of the transformation strategy applied over the past 24 months that enabled a reduction in overheads by 11% whilst maintaining service levels, updates to existing applications, and supporting investment in new products. One-off costs during the year included $293,000 for restructuring costs and $325,000 in legal fees. Legal fees related mostly to the case in the Victoria Supreme Court, as outlined below, as well as responses to various regulatory enquiries directed toward the eCommerce business. 7 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Directors’ report continued Operating and Financial Review continued Revenue Revenue for the year was $11.2 million, down $1.3 million on the previous period, or 10.6%. eCommerce revenue decreased $0.25 million, the health business by $0.8 million, and revenue from investments by $0.25 million. eCommerce revenue reduced by 10.2% to $2.2 million compared with last year. The rate of decline in this business has slowed over the past two years with the team successfully gaining additional customers off the back of our highly regarded reputation for service. Overall the plans for the eCommerce business remain unchanged. It will continue to be supported whilst profitable, despite greater attention from regulators and banks and additional costs expected from greater compliance requirements. The health business experienced a revenue reduction of $0.8 million. Half of this was as a result of reduced sales of hardware, a business activity which though valued by smaller customers, is costly to deliver and support. The balance of the reduction is due to a loss of sites. The industry continues to face consolidation of pharmacies into banner groups and greater levels of software compliance within those groups as they endeavour to bring efficiencies to their members. This has impacted Corum’s site numbers by 5% in favour of groups Corum does not currently supply, however, it suggests an opportunity for future growth. Cash Substantial investment during the year was made in Corum Clear Dispense, which is now on general release, and Corum Clear Head Office. During the year $4.1 million in research and development expenditure was incurred of which $3.2 million was for new products which was capitalised. After the products reach market, they will be amortised over their expected effective life. At the end of the financial year cash on hand was $2.3 million, as compared to $5.0 million at the end of the previous year. This reduction is due to a combination of the decline in revenue, the investment in new product development, the offset of overhead savings, and the impact of delayed receipt of revenue from Corum’s investment. Corum has expedited completion of the 2019 tax return and can confirm it has received the expected $1.5 million refund. Cash availability was significantly impacted by a lengthy delay in receiving revenue due from the unlisted entity in which Corum has an investment. The amount outstanding at year end was $2.2 million. This receivable has been withheld as a result of a significant dispute between other co-investors in the venture. The business operations of the entity remain unaffected and it continues to successfully broaden its services within the community pharmacy sector. Corum has been unwilling to be drawn into the dispute, but has now been joined to the matter before the Supreme Court by the Court itself, incurring substantial legal costs in the process. The case is complex and it is uncertain when the matter will be resolved. Due to both the uncertainty surrounding the timing of this receivable and the Group’s level of sales revenue, Corum is embarking on a funding program to ensure it maintains and improves its capability to develop and deploy software at speed and scale. Corum is seeking to continue its development program of core clinical, retail and enterprise products in line with its strategic roadmap during the next 24 months. Outlook The launch of Corum Clear Dispense has developed significant market interest from all sections of the community pharmacy market. Corum in turn is completing the development of its rapid deployment strategy to meet the growth opportunity. With effective execution Corum expects to see growth in customer numbers during the coming financial year. Resources are in place to complete development, test and launch the first releases of the new Corum Clear Point of Sale and Corum Clear Head Office products in the coming year, enhancing the ability of the Group to offer effective and market leading solutions to the community pharmacy sector. Corum expects these new products will be well received, particularly by the larger banner groups. To realise its growth objectives over the next few years Corum’s shorter-term capital challenges, which have been largely brought about by the delay in receiving investment revenue, must be addressed. In the face of these challenges, Corum is seeking additional funding to support the ability to invest in new products at a rate beyond that which Corum could otherwise achieve. The Company expects this process to be completed in the first half of this financial year. 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. There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year. 8 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Directors’ report continued Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year On 29 August 2019 the Company received a tax refund of $1,493,000 relating to the 2019 financial year. Other than disclosed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2019 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years. Likely developments and expected results of operations Information regarding likely developments, prospects or business strategies of the Group in future financial years is set out in the Operating and Financial Review and elsewhere in the Annual Report, insofar as such information does not result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

The company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year. Non-audit services Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined in note 5 to the financial statements.

Voting and comments made at the Group’s 2018 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) At the 2018 AGM, 60.2% of shares voted against the adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and the motion did not pass on a show of hands.

They were voted back in to continue their current terms as directors. Motions to award shares as part remuneration to replace cash for directors was not carried.

Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted 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. in New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board 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 adopted. Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board 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’). (‘AASB’) and 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. Going Concern During the past year the Group invested significant capital in new product development. This has been reflected in net cash outflows from investing activities of $3,986,000 (2018: $3,459,000). Whilst the Group generated operating cash flow of $1,348,000 during the year (2018: $332,000), this was however impacted by the delay in the receipt of revenue from an investment in an unlisted entity of $2,179,000 (refer to note 10). This delay is due to a dispute amongst other unitholders of the entity which is now in the Supreme Court of Victoria. Corum’s entitlement is not disputed and the entity has sufficient funds to make payment. Corum was joined to the action with the other unitholders, by the Supreme Court and the case was heard in mid-May 2019. However, it is uncertain as to when the dispute will be resolved and monies received. The cash position, planned capital investment, the timing of the resolution of the legal dispute and receipt of outstanding revenues creates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on whether the Group will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of the business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. Given the uncertainty, the Company has embarked on a capital raising to ensure the Group has adequate funds, either debt and/or equity, to continue to invest in its new product roadmap without risking going concern issues. The capital raising initiative is expected to be completed during the first half of fiscal 2020. Subsequent to the end of the financial year the Company received $1,493,000 in a tax refund payment. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that otherwise might be necessary if the accounts were not prepared on the basis the Company is a going concern. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 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 2019 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 ‘Corum’ or the ‘Group’. 20 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 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. 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 for in impairment whenever events or changes 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. 21 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 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 effective from 1 July 2018 New standards impacting the Group that have been adopted in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, and which have given rise to changes in the Group’s accounting policies are: • AASB 9 Financial Instruments • AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Details of the impact of these two standards are given in each respective note. The Group has selected to adopt these two standards using the fully retrospective approach. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet effective 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 2019. 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 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 leases 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 on the modified retrospective approach. On the date of application an amount equal to the lease liability, using the appropriate incremental borrowing rates, will be recognised as a right of use asset. Assuming the Group’s lease commitments remain at a similar level to those at 30 June 2019 and the incremental borrowing rate is 6%, the effect of adopting AASB 16 is expected to result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and liabilities of approximately $738,000 at 1 July 2019. Instead of recognising an operating expense for its operating lease payments, the Group will recognise interest on its lease liabilities and amortisation on its right-of-use assets. The overall financial results in the year ending 30 June 2020 are expected to be adversely impacted by approximately $23,000 due to the front- end loading of interest compared to smooth operating lease rental expenses, though this may change due to the number of leases in existence and the incremental borrowing rate in force at the time of adoption. AASB Interpretation 23 AASB Interpretation 23 clarifies how to recognise and measure current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. This interpretation comes into effect for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group is yet to access the impact of this interpretation but does not expect this interpretation to have any material impact on the financial statements. 22 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on 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 Rendering of services from contracts with customers’ The Group has adopted application of AASB 15 ‘Revenue from 1 July 2018, applying the fully retrospective method of transition. With the exception of the additional disclosure requirements, the nature of the change in accounting policy has not had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements and there have not been any significant changes to the judgements resulting from this adoption. As such, there is no change in the financial line items, no change to basic and diluted earnings per share and no adjustment relating to prior periods before those presented. The core principle is that revenue should only be recognised as the client receives the benefit of the goods or services provided under a commercial contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the provider expects to be entitled for the transfer of the goods or services. A practical expedient has been adopted whereby the impact of significant financing components have not been considered as the Group expected, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the good or service and when the customer pays for that good or service is less than one year. Determining the transaction price The Group’s revenue is derived from fixed price agreements and therefore the amount of revenues to be earned from each agreement is determined by reference to those fixed prices. There is no variable consideration with these agreements. Allocation of amounts to performance obligations For most agreements, there is only one performance obligation and a fixed unit price for the good or service provided. As such, there is no judgement involved in the allocation of amounts specific performance obligations. In those instances where there is more than one performance obligation, the unit price is clearly defined and is allocated against the specific performance obligation. Some goods sold by the Group include warrantees which require the Group to either replace or mend a defective product during the warranty period if the goods fail to comply with agreed-upon specifications. In accordance with AASB 15, such warranties are not accounted for as separate obligations and hence no revenue is allocated to them. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognised over time in line with the invoice period. Performance obligations are satisfied over time. This is a faithful depiction of the transfer of services, as customers simultaneously receive and consume services provided over the invoiced period. for Transaction processing the eCommerce fees business are recognised upon the completion of the transfer of funds. This is when the Group meets their performance obligation under the contract to facilitate the payment. Sale of goods Sale of goods revenue is recognised at a point in time when the Group have met all of their performance obligations including delivery and if applicable the installation of the hardware. There is limited judgement in identifying the point control passes; once the goods are delivered or at the point of installation depending on the type of good. Revenue from unlisted entity Revenue is recognised at the point at which the Group in entitled to receive distributions under the agreement. 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. Except for amounts received under the R&D tax incentive program, 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. 24 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 4.

The programme provides targeted tax offsets to encourage Companies to engage in Research and Development. 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. 26 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 6.

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.

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. 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. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. 28 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 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 internal reports 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 retail management software applications, along with hardware, training 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 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, physical location and usage. 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 • Corporate actions Major customers During the year ended 30 June 2019 the Group did not have any major customers that individually contributed more than 10% of total revenue (2018: none). 30 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 8.

To 30 June 2019 Corum has incurred legal costs of approximately $211,000. There is no dispute as to the quantum or entitlement of Corum’s share and the entity has funds on hand to distribute. The timing of resolution is uncertain, despite this the business continues to operate as normal and has not been significantly impacted. Impairment of receivables The Group has recognised a loss of $10,224 (2018: $0) in respect of impairment of receivables for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables Trade receivables to be settled within normal trading terms are carried at amounts due. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by directly reducing the carrying amount. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk and aging. The expected loss rates are based on the Group’s historical credit losses experienced over the two year period prior to the period end. The historical loss rates are then adjusted for both current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the Group’s customers. 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 a straight-line basis 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. 35 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 13: Non–current assets – intangibles Goodwill – at cost Less: Accumulated impairment Software product development – at cost Less: Research and development incentives Less: Amortisation of software development Total intangible assets Reconciliations Consolidated 2019 $’000 15,363 (15,363) – 7,932 (3,345) (115) 4,472 4,472 2018 $’000 15,363 (10,819) 4,544 4,686 (1,998) – 2,688 7,232 Total $’000 5,381 3,276 (1,425) 7,232 3,246 (1,347) (115) (4,544) 4,472 Reconciliations of the values at the beginning and end of the current and previous financial year are set out below: Consolidated Balance at 30 June 2017 Additions Research and development incentives Balance at 30 June 2018 Additions Research and development incentives Amortisation of software development Goodwill impairment Balance at 30 June 2019 Goodwill $’000 4,544 – – 4,544 – – – (4,544) – Software product development $’000 837 3,276 (1,425) 2,688 3,246 (1,347) (115) – 4,472 Goodwill relates to the acquisitions in 1991 of the Lockie the existing Corum applications with newly-developed Computer business by Pharmasol Pty Limited and the programs and anticipates a substantial period of Amfac business by Amfac Pty Limited.

Value- in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections, approved by management, over a six year period with a terminal value of 7.5 times discounted Year 6 EBITDA. Cash flows were based on both budgets and projections using historic and long term growth rates based upon past experience and in particular expectations of external market performance considering substantively improved products in the market. The CGU (Cash Generating Unit) combines Research and development tax benefits are excluded for the purpose of EBITDA based calculations. Cash flows are discounted at 12% (2018: 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. 36 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 13: Non–current assets – intangibles continued The review of the carrying value and subsequent Software product development impairment charge of $4,544,000 resulted from the impact on the existing business of new products being introduced in FY20, the impact on revenue and expenses of changes in business practices and changing industry conditions. Accounting policy for intangibles Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets 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 recognized 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 amounts are unsecured and are usually settled within established terms, normally 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 37 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 15: Current liabilities – provisions Employee benefits Lease make good Lease make good Consolidated 2019 $’000 1,076 34 1,110 2018 $’000 1,046 40 1,086 The provision represents the present value of the estimated costs to make good the premises leased by the Group at the end of the respective lease terms.

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 in whole or in part 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.

Accounting policy for long-term employee benefits The liability for long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. On a show of hands every member present at a meeting shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote. 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. 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. 39 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 18. Equity – dividends and franking credits Dividends There were no dividends paid, recommended or declared during the current or previous financial year or subsequent to the end of the financial year. Accounting policy for dividends Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.

However, no franking credits will arise as a result of income tax payments until the Company recovers these deferred franking debits. The above amounts represent the balance of the franking account as at the end of the financial year, adjusted for: • franking credits that will arise from the payment of the amount of the provision for income tax at the reporting date, after recovery of all deferred franking debits. • franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date.

Financial instruments Financial risk management objectives AASB 9 ‘Financial instruments’ replaces AASB 139 ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ with the exception of macro hedge accounting. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. The standard covers three elements: • Classification and measurement: Changes to a principle based approach to classify financial assets as either held at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss, dependent on the business model and cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. • Impairment: Moves to an impairment model based on expected credit losses. • Hedge accounting: The AASB 9 hedge accounting requirements are designed to allow hedge accounting to be more closely aligned with the Group’s underlying risk management. With the exception of the additional disclosure requirements, the nature of the change in accounting policy has not had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. Classifications of the financial instruments have remained the same and as such, there is no change in the financial line items, no change to basic and diluted earnings per share and no adjustment relating to prior periods before those presented. 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 for 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 % 2.40% 2019 2018 Weighted average interest rate % Balance $’000 2,125 2,125 2.57% Balance $’000 4,826 4,826 An official increase/(decrease) in interest rates of 24 (2018: 26) basis points would have a favourable/adverse effect on profit before tax of $5,100 (2018: $12,550) 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. Other than disclosed in note 10 relating to other receivables, 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. There has been no change to credit risk since initial recognition. 41 Corum Group Limited Annual Report 2019 Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2019 continued Note 20: Financial instruments continued 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. 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. Therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.
