4.  EXTERNAL AUDIT
The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been reviewed by the
Company’s auditors, Mazars, who expressed a qualified review opinion thereon. The basis for the
qualified review opinion included:

 a) the inability to obtain sufficient appropriate review evidence to substantiate the likelihood of
    the expected outcome of the proposed legal settlement and therefore the provision for the
    Litigation Settlement Proposal; and
 b) the comparability of the 31 March 2020 Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
    due to it being impracticable to perform retrospective procedures on historic financial
    information.

The full auditor’s review opinion forms part of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Interim
Financial Statements, available through the links provided below.
