Directors’ report 31 December 2020 (continued)
Directors' report
Your directors present the interim financial report of AD1 Holdings Limited (“the Company”) and the entities it controlled (together, the “Group”, or “AD1”) for the half year ended 31 December 2020.
Directors
The following persons held office as directors of the Company during the financial period and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Mr Andrew Henderson (Non-Executive Chairman) Mr Michael Norster (Non-Executive Director) Mr Prashant Chandra (Managing Director & CEO) Mr Nicholas Smedley (Non-Executive Director)
Principal activities
During the reporting period, the Group’s principal activities are providing and delivering of software services and technology platforms to its customers, and other related supporting and consulting services.
Review of operations
During the first half of FY21, the Company achieved significant milestones establishing the necessary foundation that will enable it to expedite future growth whilst maintaining sustainable profitability.
The milestones include multi-year contract extensions with its two oldest career-platform customers – NSW Government and VIC Government, maintaining a retention rate for the year of over 95% across all platforms and solutions, signing two important new customers to the Company’s utilities solutions platform, adding a complementary revenue stream of approximately $1 million through the acquisition of Art of Mentoring in October 2020 and the successful completion of an oversubscribed $2.5 million placement in October 2020.
Most notably, the Company laid the foundation for the extension and significant expansion of its contract with energy retailer LPE, which was subsequently executed in February 2021. The new contract is expected to yield a minimum of $10 million in revenue over five years, which is based on the retailer’s current customer numbers. Importantly, this more than doubles the revenue that would have been generated over the same period under the old contract, with significant potential for further upside as customer numbers for the energy retailer continue to grow.
Together, these successful events will provide the Company with the necessary revenue run rate to achieve its first profitable year in FY22.
Priorities for 2H21
The above events mark an important shift in the Company’s focus enabling it to progress from a stabilisation and expansion phase to growth acceleration. In addition to the new customer wins highlighted above, the Company has also built a strong pipeline of project revenue for 2H21 and beyond, especially with its existing customers in the utilities sector.
In the utilities sector, the focus for the Company over the next six months will be to ensure the successful implementation of new contracts for both new and existing clients highlighted above, and delivery of its project pipeline. The Company will invest to create additional delivery capacity over the second half of FY21 to accelerate delivery timeframes and effectively maximise the revenue run-rate for FY22.
The Company has recently undertaken a comprehensive review of its careers-platform solution with a view to exploring further opportunities to become the dominant provider of careers site technology in the market. Whilst Government and Associations continue to be important targets for the Company’s bespoke enterprise solution, the Company will introduce an off-the-shelf solution for SME and large employers. The key target segments for the offthe-shelf careers-platform solution, expected to be launched by the first quarter of FY22, will include healthcare, education & training, professional services, utilities and construction.
The cashflow statements for the next two quarters will reflect the impact of these investments. The revenue and cash receipts as a result of these investments will be realised from FY22 onwards.
The integration of Art of Mentoring is near complete and focus will remain on maximising new client acquisition. Art of Mentoring signed up 15 new clients during the first half of FY21 (8 new clients since acquisition date). Notable customers of this solution include Toyota Australia, Fair Work Ombudsman, Aurizon and Royal Australian Navy.

Directors’ report 31 December 2020 (continued)
Enhancing shareholder value through EPS accretive acquisitions remains an important focus area for the Company and it continues to canvass suitable opportunities to add diversified revenue streams.

*Operating expenses from ordinary activities excludes extraordinary expenses relating to non-cash share-based payments, placement fees, and acquisition of Art of Mentoring.
Revenue from contracts with customers increased by $414,951 or 25.3% compared to the prior half year. The increase in revenue was due to a combination of new customer wins, organic growth with existing customers and the acquisition of Art of Mentoring.
Operating expenses increased by $337,899 (9.7%) compared to HY20 primarily as a result of transaction costs relating to the Art of Mentoring acquisition, placement fees and non-cash share based payments for the Directors and Management. Operating expenses net of these costs was $2,500,837 down $958,207 (27.7%) compared to the same period in FY20.
Net loss for the period was $1,617,912 ($297,658 normalised for the above extraordinary expenses).
The Company remained cashflow positive for the reported period with cash receipts from customers of $2,256,052, an increase of 42% compared to the prior corresponding period. Cash outflows from operating activities decreased by $1,635,000 (42.3%) with a net cash inflow for the period of $22,734.
COVID-19 and impact on the Company’s state of affairs
Given the strength of the Company’s underlying revenue streams, the Company was able to perform well under the pandemic restrictions that existed during most of 2020. The Company experienced significant delays in decision making from prospective customers as a result of the ongoing economic uncertainty. However, with improving conditions the Company is building on its sales momentum with new wins outlined above and a strong sales pipeline.
Seamless service delivery to our customers whist ensuring the health and safety of all our staff is our highest priority. In addition to complying with the guidelines recommended by the health authorities through the various stages, the Company enabled all staff to work remotely in the early stages of the outbreak and has continued to maintain its services without any disruptions. The benefit of cloud-hosting all of our solutions also enables our platforms to continue operating with no impact.
The Company acknowledges that there remains a risk of further or additional government restrictions, which may result in further sales pipeline execution delays. The Company continues to monitor the conditions for any changes and will update the market accordingly.
Significant changes in the current reporting period
On 26 October 2020, the Group completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Art of Mentoring Holdings Pty Ltd and its wholly owned subsidiary, Art of Mentoring Pty Ltd (“Art of Mentoring”). Accordingly, from the 26 October 2020 the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows represent the consolidated activities of the Group. The interim financial position and performance of the Group reflects the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets related to the acquisition.

Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2020 (continued)
Notes to the financial statements
1. Basis of preparation of half-year report
The consolidated interim financial statements of AD1 Holdings Ltd (“AD1” or the “Group”) are for the six (6) months ended 31 December 2020 and are presented in Australian Dollars ($), which is the functional currency of the Group. These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 .
The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2021.
(a) Going concern
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future.
During the six months ended 31 December 2020, the Group recorded a consolidated loss of $1,617,912 (31 December 2019: $1,680,431) and net cash inflows from operating activities of $22,734 (31 December 2019: net outflows of $2,279,150). The consolidated net loss from ordinary activities excluding share based payments expense and one off transaction costs was $297,658 or 82% reduction in loss made compared to period ending 31 December 2019.
In assessing the Group as a going concern, the Directors have considered the following:
-
recent contract wins, existing revenue streams and the revenue pipeline of the Group;
-
the recent capital raise of approximately $2.5 million in October 2020; and
-
the Group’s ability to consider available non-dilutive funding alternatives should there be a requirement to manage any short-term timing impacts to the cash flows.
Based on these factors, it is the view of the Directors that the Group is sufficiently capitalised to continue as a going concern. The Directors acknowledge that this assessment incorporates a number of assumptions and judgments and have concluded that the range of possible outcomes considered in arriving at this support the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern as at the date of this report.
Accordingly, the interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
(b) Basis for preparation
These interim financial statements include the assets and liabilities of AD1 Holdings and its controlled entity as a whole as at the end of the period and the consolidated results and cash flows for the period.
An entity is considered to be a controlled entity where we are exposed, or have rights, to variable returns from our involvement with the entity and have the ability to affect those returns through our power to direct the activities of the entity. We consolidate the results of our controlled entity from the date on which we gain control until the date we cease control.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
The interim financial statements of the controlled entities are prepared for the same reporting period as AD1 Holdings, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies.

11. Business Combinations
(a) Summary of acquisition
On 26 October 2020, AD1 Holdings acquired 100% of the issued share capital and received effective control of Art of Mentoring.
Art of Mentoring is Australia’s leading mentoring program provider that delivers best-in-class programs through an intuitive SaaS platform. Art of Mentoring operates a SaaS business focused on designing, implementing and providing mentoring services to organisations using a range of evidenced-based programs, expert consultants and software.
The Acquisition is expected to provide significant benefits to the Group, including the addition of a diversified recurring revenue stream of approximately $1 million with excellent growth outlook and significant sales synergies with the Company’s career-platform offering.
The acquisition of Art of Mentoring is initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized and also recognizes additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the acts and circumstances that existed at acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the Members of AD1 Holdings Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of AD1 Holdings Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the halfyear financial report of AD1 Holdings Ltd 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 2020 and of its 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.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , we have given the directors’ of the Company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration.
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 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 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 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
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.
