The Directors Cann Group Limited 262-276 Lorimer Street Port Melbourne VIC 3207

Dear Directors

LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON CANN GROUP LIMITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT

We have been engaged by Cann Group Limited (the “Company”) to report on the accompanying Pro Forma Statement, which comprises the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and its attaching notes (the “Pro Forma Statement”).

Expressions and terms defined in the document have the same meaning in this report.

Scope

You have requested William Buck to review the pro forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position has been derived from the reviewed historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 31 December 2023, after adjusting for the effects of pro forma adjustments attaching to the Pro Forma Statement.

The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events and transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in the attaching notes to the Pro Forma Statement document, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at 31 December 2023. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.

Directors’ responsibility

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Pro Forma Statement, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial information and include in the pro forma information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Level 20, 181 William Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 +61 3 9824 8555

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the financial information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information.

A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or review report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Statement, being the reviewed historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2023 together with the attaching pro forma adjustments, is not presented fairly in all material aspects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation as described in the Pro Forma Statement.

Restriction on Use

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the financial information section of the Pro Forma Statement which describes the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Pro Forma Statement. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

William Buck has consented to the inclusion of this limited assurance report in the Pro Forma Statement in the form and context in which it is included.

Liability

Responsibility

Consent to the inclusion of this Limited Assurance Report in the Pro Forma Statement in the form and context in which it appears has been given, but should not be taken as an endorsement of the Company or a recommendation by William Buck of any participation in a share issue by any intending investors. At the date of this report our consent has not been withdrawn.

General Advice Limitation

This Report has been prepared and included in the Pro Forma Statement to provide general information only and does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any specific stakeholder. It is not intended to take the place of professional advice and stakeholders should not make specific investment decisions in reliance on this information contained in this Report. Before acting or relying on information, a stakeholder should consider whether it is appropriate for their circumstances having regard to their objectives, financial situation or needs.

Declaration of Interest

William Buck does not have any interest in the outcome of the issue of shares other than in the preparation of this Limited Assurance Report for which normal professional fees will be received.

Yours faithfully
