Strong Christmas trading resulted in like-for-like sales growth of +1% for the month of December, resulting in the Group delivering -3.1% in likefor-like sales for the half year compared with the -5.0% announced to the end of October. The Group remains on track to deliver the previously announced additional cost synergies of $20m by 30 June 2019, over the achieved $30m (on an annual basis). Above this, we anticipate further efficiencies and margin improvements to add to the FY20 earnings, said Scott Evans, Managing Director and CEO of Noni B Group 4
DIRECTORS' REPORT 2019 Full Year Outlook (continued) The key focus and strategies for the Group include: Investment in our Online presence Restock the acquired brands to optimum levels Product purchase price synergies Whilst like-for-like sales growth has continued into the second half, we expect the market to remain challenging. However Noni B reaffirms its EBITDA continues in line with market consensus of approximately $45m for the full FY19 financial year, subject to trading leading up to the all-important Mother s Day trading period. This compares with the combined pro-forma EBITDA of $31.1m achieved by the Noni B Group and the five Specialty Fashion Group brands in the 2017 calendar year. Significant changes in the state of affairs On 2 July 2018, the Group acquired the Millers, Autograph, Crossroads, Rivers and Katies brands from the Specialty Fashion Group through a purchase of assets. The acquired brands operate within the retail of women s apparel and accessories thereby enhancing the product offering to the Group s core women s apparel market. The acquisition provides substantial synergies through combining supply chain and logistics, integrating online infrastructure and systems, optimising the store portfolio and leveraging the Group s expanded purchasing size. The half-year financial report includes the results of the acquired brands for the period from acquisition date. Rounding of amounts The Half-Year Financial Report is presented in Australian dollars and amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations Legislative Instrument 2016/191.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Significant accounting policies Reporting Entity Noni B Limited is a for-profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial statements, as at and for the six months ended 30 December 2018, comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Entity or Group ). The Entity is primarily involved in the retailing of women s apparel and accessories. Basis of preparation These financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 30 December 2018 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. These interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 1 July 2018 and any public announcements made by the Group during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 2 July 2018. Except for the changed significant accounting policies below, the same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these half-year financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements. With the adoption of these new and revised Accounting Standards, the following significant accounting policies were revised and applied retrospectively: Revenue recognition Revenue arising from sales of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer has obtained control of the goods which is considered to be fulfilment of the performance obligation. Revenue is measured with consideration to any trade discounts and volume rebates. i. Retail sales revenue and jewellery commission revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has obtained control of the goods. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns, trade discounts and commission paid. ii. Revenue from the sale of gift cards is recognised upon redemption of the gift card, or over the period when the card is no longer expected to be redeemed, based on analysis of historical non-redemption rates. iii. The Group operates a customer loyalty scheme which provides rebate vouchers to be issued to customers twice yearly, based on customer s purchases during the loyalty period. The vouchers have expiry dates six weeks after issue. The Group defers this revenue until such point at which the sale of goods is made. The deferred portion is recognised as revenue only after all the rebate obligations have been fulfilled. iv. Interest revenue is recognised when it is earned. Going concern As at 30 December 2018 the Group has a net current liability position of $31,995,000. Current liabilities include $8,990,000 in fitout contributions and lease incentives and $8,960,000 in employee benefit provisions which are not expected to be settled by cash in the next 12 months. As part of the business combination, management recognised a provision for onerous leases of $14,073,000 which is included in the current liabilities at the end of the reporting period which is not expected to be settled in cash. Notwithstanding the above, the Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis given the circumstances below: On a consolidated basis, the Group stores are in a profit making position which is contributing to the positive operating cash flows. The directors expect that future net cash inflows from operating activities in conjunction with bank facilities made available will be sufficient to support the Groups operating activities. The Group has access to a $10,000,000 25,000,000 facility for working capital needs should they require it. The strategies that have been implemented by management around the improvement and alignment of policies and cost efficiencies within the new brands has had a positive impact which will continue to be driven in the second half of the financial year. Management remain confident that based on the synergies, margin gains and operational efficiencies the Group will remain compliant with all financial covenants. The Directors have concluded that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. On this basis the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. Comparatives When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year. Currency The interim financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. 11
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Registered office and principal place of business Ground Floor, 61 Dunning Avenue, Rosebery NSW 2018, Australia Note 2. Operating segments Management has determined the operating segments based on internal reports reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Group is organised into one operating segment (fashion retail). Whilst the Group sells across different brands it was determined, based on similarities, to aggregate these into one segment. The similarities include marketing (both in the processes and the target customer), distribution as well as the procurement and production (standardised across the Group). The CEO assesses the performance of the operations based on a measure of underlying EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation adjusted for fair value revaluation of derivative financial instruments through profit or loss and restructuring costs). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CEO are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. The information reported to the CEO is on at least a monthly basis, including weekly reporting on key metrics. A reconciliation of operating profit before income tax to underlying EBITDA is provided as follows: 30 December 2018 31 December 2017 $ 000 $ 000 Underlying EBITDA 29,054 22,108 Transaction and restructuring costs (5,597) - Net interest (399) (474) Other finance income 1,843 605 Depreciation, amortisation and impairment expenses (11,126) (5,205) Profit before income tax 13,775 17,034 Note 3.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 12. Business Combinations On 2 July 2018, Noni B Limited acquired the Millers, Autograph, Crossroads, Rivers and Katies brands from the Specialty Fashion Group through purchase of assets. The acquired brands operate within the retail of women s apparel and accessories which will further complement the existing Noni B, Rockmans, W.Lane and beme brands. Details of the acquisition are as follows: Fair value $ 000 Consideration - Cash paid for purchase 31,000 - Working capital 8,003 - Net cash acquired (6,921) Total cash consideration / net cash outflow 32,082 Net identifiable assets acquired - Trade and other receivables 1,865 - Inventories 52,975 - Other current assets 1,157 - Property, plant and equipment 22,640 - Brand names 20,900 - Deferred tax assets 14,797 - Trade and other payables (65,920) - Deferred tax liabilities (6,270) - Provisions (31,065) Net identifiable assets acquired 11,079 Goodwill on acquisition 21,003 1. Transaction costs of $3,251,000 and restructuring costs of $2,346,000 were recognised in respect to this acquisition for the half year and are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group: As the acquisition occurred on 2 July 2018, the revenue and profit of the Group for the half-year ended 30 December 2018 reflects the financial reporting period of the acquired brands. AASB 3 Business Combinations requires disclosure of both the revenue and profit and loss of the acquired brands from the date of acquisition, and disclosure of revenue and profit and loss for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations had been as of the commencement of the financial period. As the acquisition occurred on 2 July 2018, the acquired brands contributed revenues of $281,800,000 to the Group for the financial reporting period. Management has however determined that disclosure of the profit and loss of the acquired brands from date of acquisition is impracticable after considering various factors including the pre-acquisition operating environment of the acquired brands and the effective merger of the acquired brands into the marketing, production, distribution and other activities of the Group. Provisional amounts Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date.

A review of a half-year financial report 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 Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain 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. Independence In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor s review report.
