Each of the entities within the aggregated Group prepare its financial statements based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The aggregated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Responsible Body on 01 September 2021. The Responsible Body comprises the directors of the entites within the aggregated Group.

1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose combined financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards.

The aggregated financial statements except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified , where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected noncurrent assets ,financial assets and financial liabilities.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

The aggregated Group has adopted all standards which became effective for the first time at 30 June 2020, the adoption of these standards has not caused any material adjustments to the reported financial position, performance or cash flow of the aggregated Group or refer to Note for details of the changes due to standards adopted.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the group will have sufficient cash to pay its debts, as and when they become payable, for a period of at least 12 months from the date the financial report was authorised for issue.

Close The Loop Ltd and controlled entities

For the year ended 30 June 2020, the CTL group incurred a loss after income tax benefit of $1,974,648 (2019: $10,072,723) and was in a net current liability position of $5,564,518 (2019: $6,487,447) with current borrowings of $4,099,960 (2019:$6,253,061). However, the CTL group had cash inflows from operating activities of $2,957,530 (2019: $654,267 outflow) and total net cash inflows of $637,934 (2019: $1,315,463 outflow) and had cash and cash equivalents of $750,929 (2019: $nil).

Notwithstanding the above, the Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the CTL group will continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:

The company has prepared a cash flow forecast supported by detailed assumptions and scenario planning directed at sustaining business growth. These forecasts indicate that the CTL group will be able to fund its ongoing operations for a period of 12 months from the date the financial report was authorised for issue.

The forecast has taken consideration of the following factors: financial support from shareholders continues to be provided with further investment available as and when required over the coming 12 months; additional bank funding and operations planning to return to normal growth levels in April 2021.

R&D Tax Refunds of USD$641,549 are receivable by Close the Loop Inc and expected to be received during the 2021 financial year which will provide significant cash inflows to the company.

Close the Loop Inc has been awarded $1 million in additional revenue with current customers, funds will be received progressively throughout 2021.

The current banking facilities with Commonwealth Bank of Australia were due for renewal on 30 September 2019 which resulted in the loan becoming current. The company is working with the Bank over a new banking agreement with extended terms to be agreed upon..

Basis for aggregation

The aggregated financial statements include the financial position and performance of the entities within the Group.

Intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cashflows relating to transactions between entities in the aggregated Group have been eliminated in full for the purpose of these financial statements.

Consistent accouting policies are employed by each sub-group in the preparation and presentation of the financial report.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the spot rate on the date of the transaction.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

• 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transaction and balances

At the end of the reporting period:

• Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate;

• Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and

• Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are translated using the rate at the date when fair value was determined.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition or in prior reporting periods are recognised through profit or loss, except where they relate to an item of other comprehensive income or whether they are deferred in equity as qualifying hedges.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the aggregated Group's presentation currency are translated as follows:

• assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

• income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period where the average rate approximates the rate at the date of the transaction; and

• retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the aggregated Group's foreign currency translation reserve in the aggregated statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the aggregated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method which requires an acquiring entity to be identified in all cases. The acquisition date under this method is the date that the acquiring entity obtains control over the acquired entity.

The fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.

Goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase may arise on the acquisition date, this is calculated by comparing the consideration transferred and the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree with the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Where consideration is greater than the net assets acquired, the excess is recorded as goodwill. Where the net assets acquired are greater than the consideration, the measurement basis of the net assets is reassessed and then a gain from bargain purchase recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

• 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business combinations

All acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred except for costs to issue debt or equity securities.

Any contingent consideration which forms part of the combination is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity then it is not remeasured and the settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the value of the contingent consideration liability are measured through profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.

Cash flow hedges

Cash flow hedges are used to cover the consolidated group's exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to particular risks associated with a recognised asset or liability or a firm commitment which could affect profit or loss. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income through the cash flow hedges reserve in equity, whilst the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts taken to equity are transferred out of equity and included in the measurement of the hedged transaction when the forecast transaction occurs.

Cash flow hedges are tested for effectiveness on a regular basis both retrospectively and prospectively to ensure that each hedge is highly effective and continues to be designated as a cash flow hedge. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amounts recognised in equity are transferred to profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, expires, exercised without replacement or rollover, or if the hedge becomes ineffective and is no longer a designated hedge, the amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised initially on the date that the aggregated Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial assets

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification

On initial recognition, the aggregated Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories, those measured

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2020

• 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial instruments

Financial assets

at:

• amortised cost

• fair value through profit or loss - FVTPL

• fair value through other comprehensive income - equity instrument (FVOCI - equity)

• fair value through other comprehensive income - debt investments (FVOCI - debt)

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the aggregated Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Amortised cost

Assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets where:

• the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The aggregated Group's financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the aggregated statement of financial position .

Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment.

Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

Fair value through other comprehensive income

Equity instruments

The aggregated Group has a number of strategic investments in listed and unlisted entities over which are they do not have significant influence nor control. The Aggregated Group has made an irrevocable election to classify these equity investments as fair value through other comprehensive income as they are not held for trading purposes.

These investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income (financial asset reserve). On disposal any balance in the financial asset reserve is transferred to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at FVTPL.

Net gains or losses, including any interest or dividend income are recognised in profit or loss (refer to hedging accounting policy for derivatives designated as hedging instruments.)

The aggregated Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Impairment of financial assets

Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets:

• financial assets measured at amortised cost

• debt investments measured at FVOCI

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial assets has increased significant since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the aggregated Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the aggregated Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.

Credit losses are measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the aggregated Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows expected to be received. This is applied using a probability weighted approach.

Trade receivables and contract assets

Impairment of trade receivables and contract assets have been determined using the simplified approach in AASB 9 which uses an estimation of lifetime expected credit losses. The Aggregated Group has determined the probability of non-payment of the receivable and contract asset and multiplied this by the amount of the expected loss arising from default.

The amount of the impairment is recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised in finance expense. Once the receivable is determined to be uncollectable then the gross carrying amount is written off against the associated allowance.

Where the aggregated Group renegotiates the terms of trade receivables due from certain customers, the new expected cash flows are discounted at the original effective interest rate and any resulting difference to the carrying value is recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial assets measured at amortised cost

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Impairment of other financial assets measured at amortised cost are determined using the expected credit loss model in AASB 9. On initial recognition of the asset, an estimate of the expected credit losses for the next 12 months is recognised. Where the asset has experienced significant increase in credit risk then the lifetime losses are estimated and recognised.

Financial liabilities

The aggregated Group measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

The financial liabilities of the aggregated Group comprise trade payables, bank and other loans and lease liabilities.

Hedge accounting

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

• i) the consideration transferred;

ii) any non-controlling interest; and

iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest,

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination.

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates.

Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the aggregated Group's cash generating units or groups of cash generating units, which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored but where such level is not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity sold.

Patents and trademarks

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful life ranging from 1 to 20 years.

Intangible assets

Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Revenue and other income

Revenue from contracts with customers

The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the aggregated Group expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step model as follows:

1. Identify the contract with the customer

2. Identify the performance obligations

3. Determine the transaction price

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

5. Recognise revenue as and when control of the performance obligations is transferred

Generally the timing of the payment for sale of goods and rendering of services corresponds closely to the timing of satisfaction of the performance obligations, however where there is a difference, it will result in the recognition of a receivable, contract asset or contract liability.

None of the revenue streams of the aggregated Group have any significant financing terms as there is less than 12 months between receipt of funds and satisfaction of performance obligations.

Specific revenue streams

The revenue recognition policies for the principal revenue streams of the aggregated Group are:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the collection of cartridges and tone bottles is recognised upon invoicing to the original equipment manufacturer ("OEM"). OEM's are invoiced once used cartridges and toner bottles have been processed by the Company in preparation for recycling. The Group invoices the OEM based on the number of units collected for recycling.

Revenue from the sale of recycled waste streams and paper collections is recognised when customers are invoiced.

Sale of packaging materials

Revenue and other income

Specific revenue streams

For sales of packaging and related goods to the customer, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods have been shipped to the customer’s specific location. Following delivery, the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility when on selling the goods and bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the company when the goods are delivered to the customer as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30 to 60 days (dependent on specific customers), which is consistent with market practice.

Historically returns are very minimal and therefore no refund liability will be recognised at the point of sale. The company uses its accumulated experience to estimate the number of returns. It is considered highly probable that there will be no significant returns..

Government Grants

Government grants relating to costs are deferrred and recognised in profit or loss over theperiod necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a finnacial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other Revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Other income

Other income is recognised on an accruals basis when the aggregated Group is entitled to it.

Income Tax

The tax expense recognised in the aggregated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income comprises current income tax expense plus deferred tax expense.

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (loss) for the year and is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences which are determined by comparing the carrying amounts of tax bases of assets and liabilities to the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.

Deferred tax is not provided for the following:

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Income Tax

• The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).

• Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

• Temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.

Current and deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period except where the tax arises from a transaction which is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity respectively.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.

Cash flows in the aggregated statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

Inventories

Inventories represent mainly packaging materials, consumables and processed toner. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. This method is in line with the requirement of the AASB 102 which comply with IAS 2.

The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the entity from the taxing authorities) and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of materials and services.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories

The costs of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct labour. They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods. Fixed production overheads are those indirect costs of production that remain relatively constant regardless of the volume of production, such as depreciation and maintenance of equipment and the cost of factory management and administration. Variable production overheads are those indirect costs of production that vary directly, or nearly directly, with the volume of production, such as indirect materials and indirect labour.

Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured using the cost model.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life to the aggregated Group, commencing when the asset is ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below:

Fixed asset class Plant and Equipment Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings Motor Vehicles Office Equipment Computer Equipment Leasehold improvements	Depreciation rate 10% to 25% 16% 20% 16% 15% to 33% 10%

At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period the aggregated Group determines whether there is an evidence of an impairment indicator for non-financial assets.

Where an indicator exists and regardless for goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.

Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the relevant cash-generating unit (CGU) is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Impairment of non-financial assets

Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit.

Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered an impairment loss , except for goodwill.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the aggregated statement of cash flows and are presented within current liabilities on the aggregated statement of financial position .

Leases

At inception of a contract, the aggregated Group assesses whether a lease exists - i.e. does the contract convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

This involves an assessment of whether:

• The contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be explicitly or implicitly identified within the agreement. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right then there is no identified asset.

• The aggregated Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use.

• The aggregated Group has the right to direct the use of the asset i.e. decision making rights in relation to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.

Lessee accounting

The non-lease components included in the lease agreement have been separated and are recognised as an expense as incurred.

At the lease commencement, the aggregated Group recognises a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability for the lease term. The lease term includes extension periods where the aggregated Group believes it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model where cost on initial recognition comprises of the lease liability, initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments, estimated cost of removal and restoration less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight line basis and assessed for impairment in accordance with the impairment of assets accounting policy.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The discount rate is the rate implicit in the lease, however where this cannot be readily determined then the

Leases

aggregated Group's incremental borrowing rate is used.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease liability is remeasured whether there is a lease modification, change in estimate of the lease term or index upon which the lease payments are based (e.g. CPI) or a change in the aggregated Group's assessment of lease term.

Where the lease liability is remeasured, the right-of-use asset is adjusted to reflect the remeasurement or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Exceptions to lease accounting

The Aggregated Group has elected to apply the exceptions to lease accounting for both short-term leases (i.e. leases with a term of less than or equal to 12 months) and leases of low-value assets. The Aggregated Group recognises the payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Employee benefits

Provision is made for the aggregated Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be wholly settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled .

Employee benefits expected to be settled more than one year after the end of the reporting period have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Cashflows are discounted using market yields on high quality corporate bond rates incorporating bonds rated AAA or AA by credit agencies, with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the aggregated Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the outflow required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the unwinding of the discount is taken to finance costs in the aggregated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these aggregated financial statements regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.

These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.

The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below.

3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Key estimates - impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Aggregated Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions specific to the aggregated Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Key estimates - impairment of goodwill

In accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, the aggregated Group is required to estimate the recoverable amount of goodwill at each reporting period.

Impairment testing is an area involving management judgement, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows derived from such assets using cash flow projections which have been discounted at an appropriate rate and using a terminal value to incorporate expectations of growth thereafter.

In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters including management’s expectations of:

• growth in EBITDA, calculated as adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortisation;

• timing and quantum of future capital expenditure;

• long-term growth rates; and

• the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.

The Aggregated Group prepares and approves formal five year management plans for its operations, which are used in the value in use calculations.

Changing the assumptions selected by management, in particular the discount rate and growth rate assumptions used in the cash flow projections, could significantly affect the aggregated Group’s impairment evaluation and hence results.

The Aggregated Group’s review includes the key assumptions related to sensitivity in the cash flow projections. Further details are provided in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

Key estimates - Contingent consideration in ClozDLoop BVBA Belguim ("CDL")

The consideration paid for a 60% interest to shareholders of CDL by CtL Ltd at date of acquisition on 1 October 2016 and further 20% shares in December 2017 represents: (a) acquisition-date fair values of the assets of CDL, (b) fair values of liabilities of CDL and (c) equity interests obtained by CTL Ltd.

The fair value of identifiable net assets acquired has been identified and measured and goodwill identified for the consolidated financial statements.

AASB 3: Business Combinations requires CTL Ltd to recognise the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration as part of the goodwill calculation. The obligation to pay the contingent consideration has been classified as a liability in accordance with AASB 132: Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement. Contingent consideration represents an estimate of the fair value of future instalments payable to the shareholders of CDL which are based on future estimates of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). CTL Ltd has made an assessment of the performance of CDL over future accounting periods when consideration is payable. The

terms under which the consideration is calculated and paid is part of the acquisition agreement. The consideration will only be paid if specified future events occur or conditions are met. The amount of contingent consideration recorded at the end of future reporting periods will be re-evaluated to reflect its fair value.

Key estimates - revenue recognition

When determining the nature, timing and amount of revenue to be recognised, the following critical estimates and judgements were applied and are considered to be those that have the most significant effect on revenue recognition.

When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of goods to customers , the key performance obligation of the aggregated group is considred to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, as this is deemed to be the time that the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access.

Key estimates - provisions

As described in the accounting policies, provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. These estimates are made taking into account a range of possible outcomes and will vary as further information is obtained.

Key estimates - receivables

The receivables at reporting date have been reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence that any of the receivables are impaired. An impairment provision is included for any receivable where the entire balance is not considered collectible. The impairment provision is based on the best information at the reporting date.

Key estimates Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated group unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Lease terms

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated group's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.

Impairment of receivables

The Aggregated Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The loss allowance provision as at 30 June 2020 is determined as follows, the expected credit losses incorporate forward looking information.

Reconciliation of changes in the provision for impairment of receivables is as follows:

Balance at the beginning of the year Directly to P&L Balance at end of the year	2020 $ 2019 $ 30,198 24,123 259,413 6,075
	289,611 30,198

The Aggregated Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL). The ECL on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.

Loan advanced to a former Director during the 2016 financial year of $780,000 repayable within 5 years from date of drawdown. The loan is secured against ordinary shares owned by the former Director, with daily interest at rate of 5.4% per annum which is capitalised at the end of each calendar month. As at 30 June 2019, the interest receivable capitalised amounted to $151,264 (2018: $109,144). Impairment provision of $641,755 was taken against this loan as at 30 June 2019.

28 Financial Risk Management

Objectives, policies and processes

The Responsible Body has overall responsibility for the establishment of the aggregated Group’s financial risk management framework. This includes the development of policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and the use of derivatives. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the aggregated Group’s activities.

The day-to-day risk management is carried out by the aggregated Group’s finance function under policies and objectives which have been approved by the Responsible Body. The Chief Financial Officer has been delegated the authority for designing and implementing processes which follow the objectives and policies. This includes monitoring the levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk and assessment of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange movements. Mitigation strategies for specific risks faced are described below:

28 Financial Risk Management

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The group is exposed to foreign exchange movements due to subsidiary companies operating in the sourcecurrency of the region in which they trade. These foreigh currency exposures are not hedged by the group. Future profit and losses from ongoing operations of subsidiary companies which are consolidated to form the grouo and cash flow generated bytheses business units will be impacted by foreign currency movements.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the aggregated Group.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Trade receivables and contract assets

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.

The Aggregated Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the aggregated Group's standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Aggregated Group review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information and industry information. Credit limits are established for each customer and the utilisation of credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by line management. Customers who subsequently fail to meet their credit terms are required to make purchases on a prepayment basis until creditworthiness can be re-established.

The Aggregated Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which the customers operate.

Management considers that all the financial assets that are not impaired fo.r each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality, including those that are past due.Agrregates of such amounts are detailed in note 9

The Aggregated Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties.

Liquidity risk

Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the aggregated Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.

The consolidated group manages liquidity risk through the following mechanisms:

Liquidity risk

• preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;

• using derivatives that are only traded in highly liquid markets;

• monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

• obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

• maintaining a reputable credit profile;

• managing credit risk related to financial assets;

• only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions;

• comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets; and

• the Directors monitor borrowings maturity periods, effect on cash flow and the need to renegotiate borrowings terms.

• (i) Interest rate risk

The aggregated Group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. The group has no material exposure to floating rate instruments.

(ii) Price risk

The aggregated Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

29 Fair Value Measurement

Accounting policy for fair value measurement

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

30 Operating Segments

Geographical information

In presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of customers whereas segment assets are based on the location of the assets.

30 Operating Segments

Identification of reportable segments

The Aggregated Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Responsible Body (chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Aggregated Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings as the diversification of the aggregated Group's operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the aggregated Group's financial statements.

Corporate charges are allocated to reporting segments based on the segments' overall proportion of revenue generation within the aggregated Group. The Responsible Body believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries.

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.

31 Contingencies

In the opinion of the Responsible Body, the Group did not have any material contingencies at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019:None).

32 Events Occurring After the Reporting Date

The aggregated financial report was authorised for issue on

by the Responsible Body.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has affected the consolidated group up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the full potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date, particularly with the European, South African and USA businesses being subject to large second and third waves of the Coronavirus. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government and other foreign governments, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any further economic stimulus that may be provided .

Except for the above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the aggregated Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the aggregated Group in future financial years.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Responsible Body of the Close The Loop Group Ltd

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the aggregated financial report of Close The Loop Group Ltd (as defined below), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the Responsible Body’s declaration.

Close The Loop Group comprises the aggregation of:

• Close The Loop Ltd (A C N 095 718 317)

• O F Packaging Pty Ltd (A C N 166 108 176)

and the entities they controlled as at 30 June 2020 or from time to time during the period.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the aggregated Group is in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards; and give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its performance for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the Responsible Body of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the Responsible Body as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

==> picture [595 x 94] intentionally omitted <==

Other Information

The responsible body are responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Responsible Body for the Financial Report

The responsible body of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and for such internal control as the responsible body determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the responsible body are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the responsible body either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticisms throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the responsible body’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going

[Private and Confidential] | Page 2

concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Group financial report.

We provided the responsible body with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
