Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Half Year ended 31 December 2019
Note 1—Basis of Preparation of Half-Year Report
These general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The Group is a forprofit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, together with any public announcements made during the following half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements except to the matters discussed below.
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 26th February 2020.
New and Revised Accounting Requirements Applicable to the Current Half-year Reporting Period
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period, however, the group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. There will be some changes to the disclosures in the 30 June 2020 annual report as a consequence of these amendments.
The Group has reviewed the following revised standards:
- AASB 16: Leases (Disclosure only as standard applicable from 1 January 2019)
During the review of these revised standards, the Directors noted that the adoption of AASB 16 had no impact on the group as it does not have any long term leases in excess of 12 months.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The half-year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Estimates
When preparing the interim financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

8common
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half Year ended 31 December 2019
Note 1—Basis of Preparation of Half-Year Report (cont)
The judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in the interim financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019.
Going concern basis of accounting
The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2019 of $119,253 (31 December 2018: loss of $798,045) with the cash outflow from operating activities of $191,919 (31 December 2018: cash outflow of $583,390). As at 31 December 2019, the Group has a net current asset position of $602,190 (30 June 2019: $44,361 net current liability position). The net current asset position as at 31 December 2019 includes the following:
-
Cash and cash equivalents of $925,293 (30 June 2019: $1,033,383) and trade and other receivables of $298,592 (30 June 2019: $335,755).
-
Deferred contract income liability of $237,590 (30 June 2019: $371,097)
The continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due may be dependent upon the Group being successful in:
-
generating sufficient cash surpluses from operations resulting from meeting revenue forecasts;
-
selling down their investment in Cloudaron Shares to create liquidity should the need arise;
-
receiving financial support from its directors and shareholders.
The Directors believe there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern after consideration of the following factors:
-
The current business development prospects show an increase in activity and should lead to increasing ongoing revenue;
-
Potential sale proceeds in the form of Cloudaron share sales provides another avenue of liquidity should the business require it;
-
The Directors remain committed to the long-term business plan that is contributing to improved results as the business progresses;
-
The budgets and forecasts reviewed by the Directors for the next twelve months anticipate the business will continue to produce improved results;
-
Conversion of options subsequent to 31 December 2019 resulted in cash receipts of $552,696 in contributed equity.
Furthermore, the Directors have the option of seeking further funding to support working capital and the business development activities of the Group by way of equity or convertible note debt finance. The Directors are of the opinion that these factors will allow the Group to focus on growth areas and on improving profitability. The Directors continue to monitor the situation closely and are focused on taking all measures necessary to optimise the Group’s performance.
The Directors believe that the above indicators demonstrate that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable and to continue as a going concern and be in a position to realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. Accordingly, the Directors also believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.
15
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half Year ended 31 December 2019
In the event that the Group does not achieve the conditions stated by the Directors, the ability of the Company and therefore the Group to continue as a Going Concern may be impacted and therefore the Group may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of operations and at the amounts stated in the financial report. No adjustments have been made to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset values and the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group and company not continue as going concerns.
Note 2—Loss from Ordinary Activities
All revenue and expense items that are relevant in explaining the financial performance for the interim period have been included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Note 3—Dividends
No dividends have been declared or paid during the period.
Note 4—Operating Segments
The Group has one reportable segment, as described below, which are the groups strategic business units. The Group has identified its business units based on internal reports that are reviewed on a monthly basis and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

Note 5 — Deferred consideration
The Group expects to receive shares in Cloudaron Berhad as part of the earnout for the sale of Realtors8 Pte Ltd. As the transaction related to these shares is expected to be completed by 30 June 2020, this value has been reallocated to current assets from a non current asset.
For clarity this is up to SGD$1.05 million via the issuance of 13,013,875 shares, subject to the EBITDA Guarantee and adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Realtors8 SPA. The EBITDA Guarantee provided by 8common is that the combined EBITDA of Realtors8 Group for the FYE 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020 shall be at least SGD$1,050,000. For illustrative purposes, if the EBITDA achieved for the FYE 2019 and FYE 2020 is SGD$900,000, then shares in Cloudaron will be issued to the value of SGD$900,000 to 8common Limited.
Note 6 — Financial Assets
The Group holds shares in Cloudaron Berhad as part of the sale of Realtors8 Pte Ltd. These shares are included as a Financial Asset with a non-current asset classification measured at a fair value of $2,240,033 based on the market price on the Bursa Stock Exchange as at 31 December 2019.

|---|---|
| 2,240,033 3,560,779 |
(i) The material decrease in carrying value of $1,320,746 is due to a reduction in the closing market price of the Cloudaron shares on the Malaysian Bursa. This reduction has been recognised within other comprehensive income.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurement
a) Valuation techniques
The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:
-
Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
-
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value.
-
Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
The following notes (b) and (c) provide the fair values of the Group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised on a recurring basis after initial recognition and their categorisation within the fair value hierarchy:
b) Financial Instruments
The fair values of the group’s financial asset and financial liabilities equate to the carrying values at the respective reporting dates of 31 December 2019. The carrying amounts of trade and other payables and trade and other receivables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.
c) Fair value hierarchy
Set out below, is a comparison of the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets as at 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2019:

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurement (Cont.)
Fair value hierarchy
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclose are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisations (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
There were no changes in the Group’s valuation processes, valuation techniques, and types of inputs in the fair value measurements during the period.
Note 11 —Share based payments reserve
During the six months ended 31 December 2019, a share based payments expense of $131,815 has been recognised relating to options issued to management and employees pursuant to the employees share options plan. A total share based payments reserve of $395,444 has been recognised in relation to the total share options expensed. No new options were issued during the half year.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including; giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its consolidated financial performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

==> picture [595 x 115] intentionally omitted <==
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 .
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
