The annual financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2021 have been audited by the Group’s external
auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (“PwC”) who have expressed an unqualified audit opinion thereon.
The audit report also includes communication of key audit matters pertaining to the impairment assessment
of goodwill arising from business combinations and the accounting treatment of indirect tax exposures for
EOH. These are disclosed on pages 13 and 14 of the Group’s consolidated annual financial statements for
the year ended 31 July 2021 which is available on the Company’s website at
https://www.eoh.co.za/investor-relations/financial-results/. A reportable irregularity in terms of the
Auditing Professions Act, No. 26 of 2009 relating to alleged financial misconduct by a prescribed officer
of the Group and director of a subsidiary of EOH, was reported by PwC to the Independent Regulatory
Board for Auditors on 13 October 2021. In PwC’s view, the reportable irregularity is no longer occurring
as the Company had duly acted on this matter. Further details on this quantitatively immaterial legacy
matter are disclosed in the auditor’s report and the Group’s consolidated annual financial statements for the
year ended 31 July 2021 on pages 15 and 67.
