2. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFER
2.1
Purpose of the Offer
By this Prospectus, the Company is making an Offer to certain persons by invitation only of 1 Share at an issue price of $0.03 to raise $0.03 before expenses.
On 29 August 2016, the Company issued 100,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.03 ( Placement ) to sophisticated investors. The Placement Shares were issued without disclosure under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.
Generally, section 707(3) of the Corporations Act requires that a prospectus is issued in order for a person to whom securities were issues without disclosure under Part 6D of the Corporations Act to offer those securities for sale within 12 months of their issue.
Relevantly, section 708A(11) provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:
-
the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on the ASX;
-
a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:
-
on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued (Section 708A(11)(b)(i)); or
-
before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued (section 708A(b)(ii)); and
-
the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
The purpose of this Prospectus and the Offer made under it is to comply with section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act so that the Placement Shares can be offered for sale within 12 months of their issue. That section requires that this Prospectus include an offer of securities in the same class as the Shares.
2.2
Financial position
After paying the expenses of the Offer of approximately $12,350 (exclusive of GST), there will be no net proceeds from the Offer. The expenses of the Offer will be met from the Company’s existing cash reserves.
The effect of the Offer on the Company’s financial position will be a net decrease in cash held of approximately $12,350 (exclusive of GST).
2.3 The effect of the Offer on the capital structure
The effect of the Offer on the Company’s capital structure is set out below.

3. RISK FACTORS
As with any share investment, there are risks associated with an investment in the Company. The numerous risk factors are both of a specific and a general nature. Some can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated.
This Section 3 identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in the Company, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read the entire Prospectus and consult their professional advisor before deciding whether to apply for Shares.
3.1
Specific Risks
(a) Competition and new technologies
The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of their competitors, whose activities or actions may positively, or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s business. For instance, new technologies could overtake the advancements made by the Company’s products. In that case, the Company’s revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.
(b) Special Reputational Risks
The Company operates in a fast-changing environment, and negative publicity can spread quickly, whether true or false. Negative comments by disgruntled customers about the Company may have a disproportionate effect on the Company reputation and its ability to earn revenues and profits. Additionally, complaints by such customers can lead to additional regulatory scrutiny and a consequential increase compliance burden in responding to regulatory inquiries. This could negatively impact on the Company’s profitability.
(c) Limited Trading History
The Company has a limited trading history and therefore there is uncertainty in relation to the business of the Company, and investors should consider the Company’s prospects in light of their limited financial history. In addition, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully develop or commercialise its products and if it is unable to do so it will not be able to realise significant revenues in the future.
(d) Reliance on Key Personnel
The recent development of the business of the Company has been in large part due to the talent, effort, experience and leadership of Yakov Temov and Jason Ferris.
There is no assurance that Jason Ferris and Yakov Temov, or senior management will remain healthy and able to continue in their current roles. If such employment contracts were terminated or breached, or if the relevant Director and employees were no longer to continue in their current roles, the Company would need to employ alternative staff, and the Company’s operations and business would be adversely affected.
(e) Outsourcing
The Company outsources to consultants for expert advice and contract organisations for
9
ww201918
manufacturing services and research and development services. There is no guarantee that such experts or organisations will be available as required or will meet expectations.
(f)
Customer Service Risk
Customers may need to engage with the Company’s customer service personnel in certain circumstances, such as if they have a question about the services or if there is a dispute between a customer and the Company. The Company recruits and retain the Company’s staff with interpersonal skills sufficient to respond appropriately to customer services requests. Poor customer service experiences may result in the loss of customers. If the Company lose key customer service personnel, or fail to provide adequate training and resources for customer service personnel, this could lead to adverse publicity, litigation, regulatory inquiries and/or a decrease in customers, all of which may negatively impact on the Company’s revenue.
(g) Risks Associated with the Regulatory Environment
If the Company expands into other markets, for example Germany, then the Company will be subject to German laws and regulations. Users, competitors, members of the general public or regulators could allege breaches of the legislation. This could result in remedial action or litigation, which could potentially lead to the Company being required to pay compensation or a fine. The Company’s operations may become subject to regulatory requirements, such as licensing and reporting obligations, which would increase the costs and resources associated with its regulatory compliance. Any such increase in the costs and resources associated with regulatory compliance could impact upon the Company’s profitability. In addition, if regulators took the view that the Company had failed to comply with regulatory requirements, this could lead to enforcement action resulting in public warnings, infringement notices or the imposition of a pecuniary penalty. This could lead to significant reputational damage to the Company and consequently impact upon its revenue.
(h)
Future Capital Needs
Further funding may be required by the Company to support ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to obtain funding will adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and consequently its performance.
(i)
Liability Claims
The Company may be exposed to liability claims if its services are provided in fault and/or cause harm to its customers. As a result, the Company may have to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against such claims. If a successful claim is made against the Company, the Company may be fined or sanctioned and its reputation and brand may be negatively impacted, which could materially and adversely affect its reputation, business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.
(j)
Foreign Exchange Risks
As the Company has costs and expenses in the United States of America they will likely be denominated in US$. Accordingly, the depreciation and/or the appreciation of the US$ relative to the Australian currency would result in a translation loss on consolidation which is taken directly to shareholder equity. Any depreciation of the US$ relative to the Australian currency may result in lower than anticipated revenue, profit and earning. The Company could be affected on an ongoing basis by foreign exchange risks between the Australian dollar and the US$, and will have to monitor this risk on an ongoing basis.
10
ww201918
(k) Low Barriers to Entry
There are relatively low barriers to entry in the field of next generation wireless technology and the market is experiencing the emergence of providers of these services. Potential risks relate to other providers of these services operating on a lower cost basis placing pressure on the Company’s prices.
(l) Insurance Coverage
The Company faces various risks in connection with its business and may lack adequate insurance coverage or may not have the relevant insurance coverage. The Company maintains insurance coverage for its employees (as required by law the relevant jurisdictions) as well as insurance coverage for management liability, corporate liability, employment practices liability, crime protection and statutory liability. However, the Company does not maintain insurance against various other liabilities. If the Company incurs substantial losses or liabilities and its insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, its financials may be adversely affected.
(m)
Commercialisation Risk
There is a risk that the Company will not be able to further successfully commercialize or sell their products, or be unable to attract further customers to be sufficiently profitable to fund future operations.
(n) Intellectual property protection
The Company does not own any licenced intellectual property. The intellectual property in the ruggedized, single-mode long-term evolution and 3G/4G fall back modem ( Machine Connect ) is owned by Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless has granted a nonexclusive licence to the Company to exploit the Machine Connect hardware, software and mechanical design. The possible future commercial success of the Company’s products may depend on the ability to obtain and maintain patent protection and there is no guarantee that the claims and applications would be successful. The defence and prosecution of intellectual property rights are costly and time consuming and their outcome is uncertain.
(o) Partnerships
The commercial strategy for products which may be derived from internet-of-things ( IoT ) markets potentially includes forming partnerships with other companies that have the ability to effectively commercialise next generation wireless technology products in key economic markets and there is no assurance that suitable partnerships will be secured or maintained, or that products can be commercialised. For example, the Machine Connect product was developed by a subsidiary of the Company in partnership with Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless retained the intellectual property in the Machine Connect product, however granted a non-exclusive licence to the Company’s subsidiary to exploit the Machine Connect hardware, software and mechanical design. That licence expires in 2018, and can also be terminated by Verizon prior to then. The Company must therefore maintain its relationship with Verizon Wireless to ensure that the licence continues in force and that Verizon continues to refer customers to the Company and its subsidiaries.
(p) Competition
The IoT industry is highly competitive and other corporations may commercialise products that may compete with the Company’s products.
11
ww201918
3.2 General Risks
(a) Investment risk
The Placement Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative. They carry no guarantee as to payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of the Placement Shares. The prices at which an investor may be able to trade the Placement Shares may be above or below the issue price paid for the Placement Shares. While the Directors commend the Offer, prospective investors must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in the Company is appropriate to their own circumstances.
(b) Share market
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital;
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities; and
-
(vii) other factors beyond the control of the Company.
(c)
Economic and government risks
The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the technology industry including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(i) general economic conditions in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;
-
(ii) changes in government policies, taxation and other laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;
-
(iii) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the technology sector;
-
(iv) movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and
-
(v) natural disasters, social upheaval or war in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
(d)
Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Placement Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors
12
ww201918
in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Placement Shares from a taxation point of view and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for Placement Shares under this Prospectus.

Price sensitive information is publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants is also managed through disclosure to ASX. In addition, the Company posts information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

The following is a general description of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. This summary is not exhaustive.

-

(c)
Dividend rights
Shareholders will be entitled to dividends, distributed among members in proportion to the capital paid up, from the date of payment. No dividend carries interest against the company and the declaration of Directors as to the amount to be distributed is conclusive.
Shareholders may be paid interim dividends or bonuses at the discretion of the Directors. The Directors may set aside a sum out of the profits of the Company, as reserves, before recommending dividends of the profits.
(d)
Variation of rights
The rights attaching to the Shares may only be varied by the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the Shares, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting.

Shares can be transferred upon delivery of a proper instrument of transfer to the Company.

(f) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

(h) Rights on winding up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may with the sanction of special resolution, divide the assets of the Company amongst members as the liquidator sees fit.
