Chairman’s Letter

I am pleased to report, that over the past year JCurve Solutions Limited has continued to strengthen its financial position and achieved solid financial results whilst diversifying operations with a view to delivering medium to long term growth in shareholder value.

Over the past year we have increased our overall number of customers, diversified operations geographically into Asia, further developed and then commercialised the Riyo platform, grown the consolidated top line revenue result and improved our financial stability through positive operating and overall cash flows.

After the acquisition of Riyo and Spectrum in mid to late 2018, we reset our three core strategic priorities, which are to:

  • Rapidly grow our Asia operations;

  • Grow our Oracle NetSuite ERP practice in Australia; and

  • Grow our Riyo business at a faster pace.

1. Rapidly grow our Asia operations

We have assessed particularly strong overall growth opportunities within the Asian market for our portfolio of solutions which will complement anticipated growth from our Australian operations. The Company assessed that the quickest way to kick start our growth in Asia was through the acquisition of an existing NetSuite partner. In December 2018 the Company was successful in completing the purchase of the business and assets of the Spectrum Partner Group, a NetSuite Two-Star Solution Provider based in Singapore. The purchase of Spectrum’s business and assets provides JCurve Solutions with a launch pad for further expansion into the growing ERP Asian market. In addition to a small number of customer contracts and committed license and service revenue, Arthur Fernandez who was the founder and Director of

Spectrum for four years, was appointed as the General Manager of JCS’ Asian operations.

After building small team in Singapore to expand the operations of the acquired business, in April 2019 JCurve Solutions incorporated JCurve Solutions Philippines Inc (JSP) and has been building a delivery centre of excellence which will service our forecast significant ERP growth and also assists to lower the cost base of our overall Group operations. In addition to the direct employment of the resources from a third-party service outsourced arrangement, a number of employees have been, and will be, directly recruited into the JCurve Solutions Philippines team.

In addition to expanding our Oracle NetSuite solution offering, we are exploring other M&A opportunities in Asia related to the acquisition of Product IP. These opportunities are in line with our overall diversification strategy and the relocation of the JCS CEO, Stephen Canning, to Singapore from the start of August 2019, will provide further impetus to this strategic initiative.

2. Grow our Oracle NetSuite ERP practice in Australia

During the year ended 30 June 2019, the NetSuite ERP division grew by 7% after recognising $9.8 million of revenue, increasing from the $9.2 million recognised in FY2018. The Company has achieved strong growth results from its existing ERP customers by minimising churn and maximising revenue through renewals and upsells.

Chairman’s Letter

While we didn’t make the level of new business sales to prospective customer which we were forecasting after a number of sales opportunities which were expected to close in FY2019 were won in July 2019, we are forecasting a solid increase in new business sales in FY2020. The Company continues to see a shift toward the more complex NetSuite solutions resulting in longer sales cycles.

The $9.8 million in revenue generated in FY2019 helped the NetSuite ERP Division to generate a statutory profit before tax of $2.2 million for the year. As at 30 June 2019 we had over 600 ERP customers across our portfolio of solutions, customers which are spread across both Australia and New Zealand.

We continue to build on our status as the #1 Oracle NetSuite Solution Partner globally by customer count and remained a 5-star NetSuite Solution Partner thereby guaranteeing JCS receives the highest level of commissions on NetSuite edition licence sales.

3. Grow our Riyo business at a faster pace

After purchasing the Riyo Platform in May 2018, the Company has focused on enhancing the solution through research and development activities, defining the go to market plan and building a team to launch and support the solution. The further development of the Riyo platform (which has been expensed in line with the Company’s current accounting policy for R&D), has now broadened the Riyo solution to a much larger addressable customer base from which was launched to our existing customers in 2HY2019.

The Riyo business unit provided a small revenue contribution in FY2019 to the Group result, a contribution which is forecast to exponentially increase over the next 2-3 years. The Company signed its first Riyo customer in April 2019 and in June had signed a number of customers

to trial agreements a number of which are expected to convert into paying customers in early FY2020. The JCS team continues to build a solid pipeline of opportunities to build a strong base of customers from which we are forecasting significant recurring revenue. We have assessed a number of overseas opportunities for the Riyo software which we will be exploring over the next 12 months.

Financial Commentary

Most importantly as we continue to assess several carefully selected product IP acquisition opportunities, JCurve Solutions continues to strengthen its strong balance sheet and solid operating fundamentals.

The statutory profit before tax generated by JCurve Solutions for the year ending 30 June 2019 was $0.6 million (2018: $0.9 million). The normalised EBITDA was $0.9 million down from $1.0 million in FY2018.

In FY2019 the Group was $0.7 million operating cash flow positive while remaining debt free and holding $4.8 million in cash reserves as at 30 June 2019. This financial stability ensures we can evaluate multiple acquisition targets while continuing to organically grow our existing business operations.

Over the past year we have delivered short term shareholder value through an appreciation of our share price which rose from 3.1 cents to 3.4 cents as at 30 June 2019, a 10% increase during FY2019.

Once again, I would like to thank our employees and shareholders for their continuing support over the past year.

Operating financial review

Financial Results for the Year

The Group recognised a profit after tax of $0.3 million for year ended 30 June 2019 (2018 $0.8 million).

The ‘Normalised EBITDA’ for the full year ended 30 June 2019 was $0.9 million (2018 $1.0 million), which has been determined as follows:

Consolidated ($)
2019 2018
Total comprehensive income for the year 338,114 847,267
Add Back: Non-cash expenses:
Depreciation / amortisation 254,490 102,328
Total non-cash expenses 254,490 102,328
Income tax expense 266,273 48,105
Interest income/fnance costs (6,288) (17,769)
Normalised EBITDA 852,589 979,931

Normalised EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and represents the profit under AAS adjusted for specific significant items. The table above summarises key items between the statutory loss after tax and normalised EBITDA. The directors use normalised EBITDA to assess the performance of the Group.

Directors’ Report Including Remuneration Report

Normalised EBITDA has not been subject to any specific review procedures by our auditor but has been extracted from the accompanying audited financial report.

The Group’s total revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $12.6 million (2018: $11.9 million), which includes revenue from the sale of JCurveERP/NetSuiteERP licenses and accompanying support and implementation revenue in Australia of $9.8 million (2018: $9.2 million), revenue from the sale of NetSuiteERP licenses and accompanying support and implementation revenue in Asia following the acquisition of Spectrum $0.4 million (2018: nil), revenue from the sale of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions $2.3 million (2018: $2.7 million) and revenue from the sale of MYOB Advanced licenses and accompanying support and implementation revenue $0.1 million (2018: $0.05 million).

Total expenses for the full year ended 30 June 2019 were $12.2 million (2018: $11.3 million). The largest expense during the year ended 30 June 2019 was amounts paid to employees with $6.1 million being paid or accrued (2018: $6 million).

Financial Position as at 30 June 2019

The Group had cash reserves as at 30 June 2019 totaling $4.8 million which increased by $0.3 million from $4.5 million as at 30 June 2018. The $0.3 million of cash flows generated for the year was after $0.3 million was paid to acquire Spectrum in December 2018 and $0.1 million paid to acquire an E-Commerce connector which has been capitalised in intangible assets. Having significant cash reserves while remaining debt free ensures that JCurve Solutions is well positioned to explore acquisition opportunities, the exploration of which remains ongoing.

The increase in assets from $11.5 million as at 30 June 2018 to $12.3 million as at 30 June 2019, was achieved through improved working capital management which assisted the Group to be $0.3 million cash flow positive during the year as well as the inclusion of capitalised costs following the acquisition of the Spectrum intangible assets.

The liabilities balance increased from $6.6 million as at 30 June 2018 to $7.0 million as at 30 June 2019.

Risk management

The Group recognises the need to pro-actively manage the risks and opportunities associated with both day-today operations of the Group and its longer term strategic objectives and has developed a risk management policy.

The Board is responsible for the establishment, oversight and approval of the Group’s risk management strategy, internal compliance and controls. The Board is also responsible for defining the “risk appetite” of the Group so that the strategic direction of the Group can be aligned with its risk management policy.

The Group has the following risk management controls embedded in the Group’s management and reporting system:

  • A comprehensive annual insurance program facilitated by an external broker;

  • A monthly risk register which is reviewed by the Executive Management Team and reported to the Board;

  • Annual Strategic and operational business plans; and

  • Annual budgeting and monthly reporting systems which enable the monitoring of performance against expected targets and the evaluation of trends.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer through monthly Board papers, report to the Board as to whether all identified material risks are being managed effectively across the Group.

During the year, ongoing monitoring, mitigation and reporting on material risks was conducted by Executive Management Team, the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board and took place in accordance with the process disclosed above.

A copy of the Risk Management Policy can be found on the Group’s website: https://www.jcurvesolutions.com/ wp-content/uploads/2016/12/JCurve-Solutions-RiskManagement-Internal-Compliance-and-Control-Policy. pdf

Retirement, election and continuation in office of Directors

It is the Board’s policy to consider the appointment and retirement of Non-Executive Directors on a case-by-case basis. In doing so, the Board must take into account the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.

Clause 13.4 of the JCurve Solutions Constitution allows the Directors to at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but so that the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the JCurve Solutions Constitution. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting. There have been no such appointments during the year.

Clause 13.2 of the JCurve Solutions Constitution requires that no director who is not the Chief Executive Officer may hold office without re-election beyond the third AGM following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected.

The current board was re-elected by shareholders at the following prior AGMs:

  • 2018: Mark Jobling;

  • 2017: Bruce Hatchman;

  • 2016: David Franks

Therefore, under Clause 13.4 of the Constitution, David Franks is due for election at the Next Annual General Meeting under the noted time period.

A copy of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s charter is included on the Company’s website.

3. Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice Corporate Governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive director remuneration

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides JCurve Solutions with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

JCurve Solutions’ constitution adopted at the AGM on 9 November 2010 specifies that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be a maximum of $400,000 per year, and can be varied by ordinary resolution of the shareholders in a General Meeting. There have been no changes to the constitution of JCurve Solutions since this date.

The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst directors is reviewed annually.

Non-executive directors are paid their director fees in cash, including statutory superannuation contributions. They do not receive any bonus payments nor are they entitled to any payment upon retirement or resignation.

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2019 and comparative year is detailed in Section 4, Table 1 of the Remuneration report.

(i) Base salary and benefits

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash, superannuation and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group.

Each executive’s remuneration is reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The process consists of a review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market, internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. The Nomination and Remuneration committee has access to external, independent advice if required.

(ii) Short-term incentive

The Short-term incentive (STI) scheme is designed to reward the Executive Management team for their contribution to the success of JCurve Solutions in achieving its financial goals, as well as the individual contribution of each employee to business goals, as determined by the Board.

For all members of the Executive Management Team except the Sales Director, the FY2019 KPI targets for the Short-term incentive plan were determined by the Board based on a number of Key Result Areas (KRA’s) which the Board believes will affect the performance of JCurve Solutions during the financial year. The KRA’s included a revenue metric, a profitability metric, various sales metrics, leadership metrics while depending on the Executive Management team members position a business diversification metric, marketing or project delivery metric. The metrics are determined with reference to JCurve Solutions strategic goals and objectives. The revenue, profitability, sales, marketing and project delivery metrics are measured based on the audited statutory financial results. The leadership metric is measured from independently collated feedback scores from employees and the Directors. The diversification metric is determined with reference to the number of profitable acquisitions made by JCurve Solutions during the year. This short-term incentive scheme takes the form of a cash bonus payable once the results for the year have been determined.

Executive remuneration

The Company’s Executive remuneration structure consists of three components:

Fixed components Variable ‘at-risk’ components

(i) Base salary and (ii) Short-term incentives in the benefits, including form of cash bonuses; and superannuation. (iii) Long-term incentives, through participation in the JCurve Solutions Equity Incentive Plan (EIP).

The Short-term incentive plan for the Sales Director is in the form of a commission scheme whereby actual ERP new business sales results are compared against set targets on a monthly basis. The targets are set with reference to the Company’s annual ERP new business budget. The Short-term incentive scheme for the Sales Director takes the form of cash which is paid as part of the pay-run the month following the month of the ERP new business sale.

The potential value of the short-term incentive schemes as a proportion of each Executive’s base salary was as follows:

Directors’ Report Including Remuneration Report

FY2019 STI Potential (*) FY2018 STI Potential (*)
Executives
S Canning 32% 33%
J Aulsebrook 28% 29%

B Beedie (**) 28% 28%

(*) STI bonus potential as a proportion of the Executive’s base contracted salary excluding superannuation and other benefits.

(**) On target earnings. Commission scheme was uncapped.

(***) Sales Director responsibilities from 5 February 2019 which included the commission scheme previously provided to the Sales Director on top of the STI as the Chief Marketing Officer. Commission scheme was uncapped.

(iii) Long-term incentive

The long-term equity incentive plan implemented in FY2017 has been designed to align a portion of Executive Remuneration with long term shareholder value.

Equity Incentive Plan (EIP)

The JCurve Solutions Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2016. On 27 June 2017 performance rights totalling 10,000,000 were issued employees under the EIP. On 9 October 2017 performance rights totalling 1,500,000 were issued to an employee under the EIP.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: Significant Changes in the Current Reporting Period

The financial position and performance of the group was particularly affected by the following factors, events and transactions during the reporting period:

  1. the sale of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions, which included the exclusively licensed JCurveERP and associated implementation and consulting services as well as NetSuite mid market and enterprise editions in addition to accompanying associated implementation and consulting services;

  2. the purchase and integration of Spectrum and subsequent sale of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions;

  3. continuing investment in the TEMS research and development aimed at maximising the value from the TEMS business; and

  4. Riyo – the development and commercialization of the Riyo Platform.

A more detailed outline about the Group’s performance and financial position is outlined in the Directors Report operating and financial review on page 6

Note 2: Segment Reporting

1. Accounting policy

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors and Executive Management Team of JCurve Solutions.

2. Description of segments

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the

components of the Group that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance.

JCurve Solutions sells a portfolio of solutions and derives its revenues and profits from a variety of sources.

The Board and Executive Management Team for the year ended 30 June 2019, considered the business from a product perspective and identified three reportable segments:

  • NetSuite ERP - ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services; and

  • MYOB Advanced - ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services; and

  • TEMS - The development and marketing of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions (JTEL and Full Circle Group).

All other segments – the development business unit and group/head office are cost centres and are not reportable operating segments. The results of these operations are included in the unallocated column in the segment information below.

Following the acquisition of Spectrum, the Group now operates in two geographical segments being Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) along with SE Asia.

The Group reports internally on the assets and liabilities of the Group on a consolidated basis.

No customers comprise more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue.

3. Segment information provided to the chief operating decision maker

The segment information provided to the Board and the Executive Management Team for the reportable segments for the year ended 30 June 2019 (including the comparative period) is as follows:

1. Accounting policy

Revenue recognition

The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step process outlined in AASB 15 which is as follows:

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer;

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract and determine at what point they are satisfied;

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;

Step 5: Recognise revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

The Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy is that:

  • The performance obligation for the implemented ERP software is satisfied when the ERP software has been installed and is operating materially as contractually required. Rather than recognising the contracted revenue evenly over the contract period which ranges from 12 to 60 months in the case of license revenue or evenly over an implementation period for service revenue (generally 2 to 3 months), under the new accounting policy, both license and implementation revenue for the contracted period is recognised at the point in time when the ERP software has been installed and is operating materially as contractually required;

  • The performance obligation for providing ERP software customers with technical support is satisfied over the contracted period;

  • The performance obligation for providing Telecommunication Expense Management solutions is satisfied over the contracted period; and

25

  • The performance obligation for the implemented Riyo software is satisfied when the Riyo software has been installed and is operating materially as contractually required.

In addition to contracts with customers, the Group receives interest income from monies held in its bank accounts, Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis based on the interest rate, deposited amount and time which lapses before the reporting period end date.

The expected future Research and Development incentive, for past qualifying Research and Development expenditure is accrued as other income when it is established that the conditions of the Research and Development incentive have been met and that the expected amount of the incentive can be reliably measured.

2. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions: Revenue recognition

(i) Identification of performance obligations

The Group has determined that for new ERP software sales, while licenses and implementation services are quoted as separate line items and have separate list prices they are not distinct performance obligations as the customer is purchasing customisable ERP software which requires not only the licenses to be provisioned

but the software to be installed by a qualified JCurve Solutions implementation consultant. As such a combined implemented ERP software performance obligation is presented.

Technical support which is purchased by ERP software customers to assist with their ongoing use of the ERP software and is separate from the combined ERP software/implementation performance obligation.

(ii) Satisfaction of performance obligations

The performance obligation for the implemented ERP software is satisfied at the point in time when the ERP software has been installed and is operating materially as contractually required. It is when the customer has full access to and control of the ERP software. The performance obligation for providing ERP software customers with technical support remains throughout the contract period so is satisfied over the contract period.

The performance obligation for providing Telecommunication Expense Management solutions remains throughout the contract period so is satisfied over the contract period.

The performance obligation for the implemented Riyo software is satisfied at the point in time when the Riyo software has been installed and is operating materially as contractually required. It is when the customer has full access to and control of the Riyo software.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Accounting policy

(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the

reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

2. Significant accounting judgments,

estimates and assumptions: Recognition of subscription costs of sales

The recognition of the license cost associated with each JCurveERP software subscription is estimated on a gross margins basis and is amortised over the life of the contract in a manner consistent with the method for recognising the revenue.

Net Deferred Tax Liability

1. Accounting policy

(i) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable

temporary differences except:

  • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a

transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(ii) Tax Consolidation Legislation

JCurve Solutions and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation

Notes to the Financial Statements

legislation. Current and deferred tax amounts are accounted for in each individual entity as if each entity continued to act as a taxpayer on its own.

JCurve Solutions Limited recognises its own current and deferred tax amounts and those current tax liabilities, current tax assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits and unused tax losses which it has assumed from its controlled entities within the tax consolidated Group.

Assets or Liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts payable or receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) controlled entities in the tax consolidated Group.

(iii) Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) except:

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

2. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions: Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that sufficient future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits over future years together with future tax planning strategies.

3. Unrecognised deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

The balance of carried forward tax losses that have not been recognised in the Financial Statements amount to $490,088 (2018: $476,267 unrecognised). The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current legislation. Deferred tax assets totaling $134,774 (2018: $130,973) have not been recognised in respect of these items at this stage because it is not probable that future tax profits will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits thereof.

The balance of carried forward capital losses that have not been recognised in the Financial Statements amount to $572,640 (2018: $572,640 unrecognised). The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current legislation. Deferred tax assets totaling $157,476 (2018: $157,476) have not been recognised in respect of these items at this stage because it is not probable that future capital gains will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits thereof.

There are no unrecognised deferred tax liabilities.

4. Tax Consolidation

JCurve Solutions and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries implemented the tax consolidation legislation from 1 January 2014. The accounting policy for the implementation of the tax consolidation legislation is set out in note 5(1)(ii).

The entities in the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax sharing agreement on adoption of the tax consolidation legislation which, in the opinion of the directors, limits the joint and several liability of the controlled entities in the case of a default by the head entity, JCurve Solutions.

JCurve Solutions and its controlled entities have entered into a tax funding agreement under which the 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries compensate JCurve Solutions for all current tax payable assumed and are compensated by JCurve Solutions for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets which relate to unused tax credits or unused tax losses that, under the tax consolidation legislation, are transferred to JCurve Solutions. These amounts are determined by reference to the amounts which are recognised in the financial statements of each entity in the tax consolidated group.

The amounts receivable/ payable under the tax funding agreement are due on receipt of the funding advice from JCurve Solutions, which is issued as soon as practicable after the financial year end. JCurve Solutions may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with obligations to pay tax instalments. These amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables.

Basic earning per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earning per share is calculated as net profit/loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

  • the after-tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

31

1. Accounting policy

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

The Group adopted AASB 9 for the first time during the year ended 30 June 2019. The adoption of AASB 9 resulted in credit losses being recognised in the allowance for doubtful debts under an expected credit loss (ECL) model. ECLs are a probability weighted estimates of credit losses which are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The impact from adopting AASB 9 during the year ended 30 June 2019 was an additional expense of $13,378 from assessing the lifetime expected credit losses based on the history of past bad debts written off the Group after considering a provision matrix which grouped debtors into product lines. The Group has not retrospectively adjusted the prior period comparative balances or opening balances on adoption of AASB 9.

2. Allowance for doubtful debts reconciliation

At 30 June 2019, trade receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $71,952 (2018: $114,173) were impaired. The allowance for doubtful debts was $71,952 (2018: $114,173). The movement in the allowance for doubtful debts is as follows:

1. Accounting policy

(i) Cost

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred.

(ii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of the lease or the estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight-line method. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation and amortisation:

  • Plant and equipment: 2 – 14 years

  • Leasehold improvements: 1 – 6 years

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

(iii) De-recognition and disposal

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(i) Purchase of Spectrum

The licenses intangible asset reflects the carrying value of the unimpaired amount paid for the purchase of the exclusive reseller agreement with NetSuite for the JCurve ERP edition of the NetSuite software. This Agreement with NetSuite provides JCurve Solutions with the exclusive selling rights for the JCurve ERP edition of the NetSuite business software for an indefinite period and was the basis on which Interfleet Pty Ltd immediately became a five star NetSuite partner on becoming a NetSuite Solution Provider in August 2016. The agreement was the basis from which the Company has built its ERP practice. The NetSuite JCurve ERP reseller agreement provides that in the event of cancellation of the Agreement, the customers of JCurve would be assigned to NetSuite and NetSuite would be required to pay JCurve Solutions a royalty of 30% of the future revenue stream to NetSuite for a 3-year period which along with an increasing level of license commission and service revenue which is generated from the sale of NetSuite editions indicates that it is unlikely that there will be an impairment in future periods.

Refer to Note 25 for further information on the acquisition of Spectrum.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(ii) Pistachio Connector

On 8 April 2019, JCurve Business Software Pty Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of JCurve Solutions Limited, purchased the JConnect E-Commerce connector from Pistachio Media. The E-Commerce connector links a customers website to the JCurve edition of NetSuite. JCurve Business Software Pty Ltd previously operated under a licensing arrangement with Pistachio Media with both customers managed directly through JCurve Business Software Pty Ltd as well as some customers directly being managed by Pistachio Media.

The total cost of the asset acquisition was $100,000 which was settled in cash on 27 June 2019. Purchase costs of $3,480 were included in professional fees in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2019.

1. Accounting policy

(i) Intangible assets – Licenses and other intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial yearend. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

2. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

(i) Impairment of intangibles with indefinite useful lives

The Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated.

(ii) Useful life of the Riyo Platform

The Group has determined that the useful life of the Riyo Platform is 5 years with the useful life to be amortised on a straight line basis over the five year period.

3. Impairment testing of intangible assets with indefinite lives

(i) Licenses – ERP

The licenses intangible asset reflects the carrying value of the ERP relationship with Oracle NetSuite.

The recoverable amount of the Australian ERP practice has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections covering a 5-year period. The discount rate applied to the value in use calculations was 15%. A long term growth rate of 4% has been assumed as has a terminal value. Based on these value in use calculations, there is no impairment for the year ended 30 June 2019 (2018: nil).

The carrying value of the NetSuite License remains $2,302,857.

If the discount rate applied was 10% higher the recoverable amount would decrease by $213,399 and if the discount rate applied was 10% lower the recoverable amount would increase by $231,785. If the long term growth rate projection applied was 10% lower than the amount forecast, the recoverable amount would decrease by $280,387 and if the long term growth rate projection applied was 10% higher the recoverable amount would increase by $282,297.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cashgenerating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.

1. Accounting policy

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Accounting policy

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The current pre-tax rate used for discounting purposes is 12% (2018: 12.5%).

When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.

1. Accounting policy

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using the BlackScholes model, further details of which are given in Note 24(i).

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of JCurve Solutions Limited (market conditions) if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see Note 6).

2. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions: Share based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black - Scholes model, using the assumptions as detailed in the notes to the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 18: Critical Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

  • Revenue recognition - Identification of performance obligations – refer to note 3;

  • Revenue recognition – Satisfaction of performance obligations – refer to note 3;

  • Impairment of intangibles with indefinite useful lives – refer to note 12;

  • Useful life of the Riyo Platform - refer to note 12;

  • Share-based payment transactions – refer to note 17; and

  • Recovery of deferred tax assets – refer to note 5;

Note 19: Financial Instruments and Risk Management

1. Capital risk management

Capital risk is managed and monitored by liaising with banks and communicating with shareholders. JCurve Solutions considers new government legislation and monitors the market place by canvassing information from stockbrokers and investors.

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. Management adjust the capital structure as necessary to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

2. Financial Risk Management

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are outlined above in the relevant note.

The Group’s principal financial liabilities are trade payables and unearned income which arise during the course of operations. The Group has various financial assets such as trade receivables and cash and short-term deposits, which arise directly from its operations.

The Group’s policy throughout 2019 has remained that no trading in derivatives shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised on the following pages.

For all financial instruments, the net fair value approximates their carrying value.

No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised forms.

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is fixed at intervals of less than one year. The other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

(*) Prior year comparatives have been adjusted to reallocate $482,087 from interest bearing liabilities to non interest bearing liabilities.

40

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and nonderivative instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the change in interest rates.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s net profit before tax would increase by $24,915 and decrease by $10,188 respectively (2018: increase by $23,525 and decrease by $10,117). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate cash deposits.

4. Price Risk – Equity and Commodity

The Group’s exposure to commodity and equity securities price risk is minimal.

5. Foreign Currency Risk

Following the acquisition of Spectrum and establishment of a Philippines centre of excellence, the Group is now exposed to foreign currency risk from movements in the Australian dollar relative to the Singapore and US Dollar’s and Philippine Peso. Foreign currency risk arises from future transactions and recognizing assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency.

The Group seeks to limit its exposure to foreign currency risk, by maintaining a bank account denominated in Singapore dollars and is in the process of setting up a Philippines bank account denominated in Philippine Peso so that income received from Asian customers is deposited and held in the overseas currency without the need to transact in multiple currencies.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date is as follows (in AUD translated balances):

Year ended 30 June 2019 2019 2018
Cash and cash equivalents 12,605 -
Trade and other receivables 215,095 -
Other Current Assets 120,435 -
Total Current Assets 348,135 -
Property, plant and equipment 2,783 -
Intangible assets 529,642 -
Total Non Current Assets 532,425 -
Total Assets 880,560 -
Trade and other payables 438,846 -
Unearned income 133,657 -
Provisions - current 15,337 -
Total current liabilities 587,840 -
Total Liabilities 587,840 -
Net Assets 292,720 -

For the year ending 30 June 2019, if the average exchange rate for AUD:SGD had been 10% lower or higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s net profit before tax would decrease by $21,716 and increase by $17,767 respectively (2018: decrease by nil and increase by nil).

Notes to the Financial Statements

6. Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note.

The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables.

It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. Risk limits are set for each individual customer in accordance with parameters set by the board. These risk limits are regularly monitored.

Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

At 30 June 2019, the ageing analysis of trade receivables is as follows:

Consolidated 0-30 0-30 31-60 31-60 61-90 61-90 +91 +91
days days days days days days days days
Total CI* CI* PDNI* CI* PDNI* CI*

2018 1,491,841 1,050,739 - 62,553 - 201,592 - 62,784 114,173

_ PDNI - Past due not impaired CI* - Considered impaired_

The receivables which are past due but not considered impaired was $173,736 (2018: $264,376).

The provision for doubtful debts as at 30 June 2019 is $71,952 (2018: $114,173). The provision for doubtful debts includes expected credit losses of $13,378 which were recognised on adoption of AASB 9 (2018: nil).

Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

7. Liquidity Risk Management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Note 20: Commitments

1. Remuneration Commitments

There are no commitments for the payment of salaries and other remuneration under long-term employment contracts in existence at the reporting date.

2. Operating Lease Commitments

The Group had the following operating lease commitments at balance date:

42

Consolidated ($)
2019 2018
Within one year 494,226 305,954
After one year but not more than fve years 282,300 496,395
776,526 802,349

Operating lease commitments are in respect of the Chatswood office, St Kilda office, an office in Singapore, a serviced office in Singapore as well as telephone and printer leases.

(i) Accounting policy - Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised.

Finance leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Note 21: Contingencies

1. Contingent Liabilities

The Group does not have any contingent liabilities.

Note 22: Events Occurring After the Reporting Period

No matters or circumstances have arisen since 30 June 2019 that significantly affect, or may significantly affect:

  • the Group’s operations in future financial years, or

  • the results of those operations in future financial years, or

  • the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). JCurve Solutions Limited is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all years unless otherwise stated. The financial report is for the consolidated entity consisting of JCurve Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries.

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2. Changes to presentation

The classification of some prior period comparatives have been adjusted to reflect an internal reporting change in the presentation of financial statement line items which the Company believes will assist users with their understanding of the Annual Report. There was no net overall profit or loss effect from the reclassification.

3. New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

In the year ended 30 June 2019, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period. The Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations which are most relevant to the Group are set out below:

(i) AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 was issued to replace AASB 117 Leases and a number of interpretations. AASB 16 will provide a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors.

The new standard will have three possible main changes on the Group’s accounting for leases:

  • Enhanced guidance on identifying whether a contract contains a lease;

  • A completely new leases accounting model for lessees that require lessees to recognise all leases on balance sheet except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets; and

  • Enhanced financial statement disclosures.

The new standard will result in almost all leases being recognised on the Statement of Financial Position. The current distinction between operating and finance leases will be removed with an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a liability (rental payments) being recognised.

Lessor accounting will not significantly change under AASB 16.

The Group has adopted the new standard from 1 July 2019 under the modified retrospective approach. On adoption of AASB 16, the Group will be recognizing leased liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under AASB 117. The adoption of AASB 16 will also result in the recognition of a right of use asset.

AASB 16 will impact the Group’s operating leases which are outlined in Note 20. As at 30 June 2019, the Group had non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $776,526 (2018: $802,349). The Group has assessed that the impact of adopting AASB 16 from 1 July 2019 is the recognition of leased liabilities totalling $727,859 and the recognition of right of use assets totaling $727,859.

There are no other standard that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future periods.

4. Statement of Compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 August 2019.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

5. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of JCurve Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group).

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

44

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for the period from their acquisition.

Note 24: Share-Based Payment Plans

(i) Shares issued under Equity Incentive Plan

The equity incentive plan was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2016. On 27 June 2017, 10,000,000 performance rights (valued at $27,500) were issued to employees under the plan. These performance rights were revalued to $54,862 following an increase in the JCurve Solutions Limited share price during the year. On 9 October 2017, 1,500,000 performance rights (valued at $30,933) were issued to employees under the plan. Each performance right has a nil exercise price and convert into one fully paid ordinary share in JCurve Solutions Limited upon meeting the vesting conditions. The performance rights vest on 31 August 2019. If the vesting conditions are not met the performance right lapses on 31 August 2019.

During the year ended 30 June 2019, 1,500,000 performance rights (valued at $30,933) were cancelled under the plan when the service condition associated with the performance rights were not met.

The share-based payment expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income evenly over the vesting period.

(ii) Share Option Plan – Acquisition of JCurve Business Software

JCurve Solutions Limited issued 35,714,284 options (valued at $1,572,144) as part consideration for the acquisition of JCurve Solutions Pty Ltd by its subsidiary JCurve Business Software Pty Ltd.

The contractual life of each option granted is between 3 and 5 years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.

The following table illustrates the number (No.) and weighted average exercise prices of and movements in share options issued during the year:

2019 2018

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 25: Business Combinations

Acquisition of the Spectrum Partner Group

On 17 December 2018, JCurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Group purchased all of the business and assets of Spectrum Partner Group Pte Ltd (Spectrum), a NetSuite two star partner domiciled in Singapore.

The purchase price is to be paid across a completion payment of S$300,000 (paid on the 13/12/2018) and a deferred payment in August 2019 based on the level of income generated by the Singapore business for the year ending 31 March 2019 plus qualifying opportunities for the following three months to 30 June 2019. Based on the latest available forecasts obtained pre-acquisition as part of the due diligence phase, the Group estimated the deferred payment to be S$300,000 (A$311,333). After closing more qualifying opportunities in the April to June 2019 period, than originally forecast, the deferred payment which is due to be paid by 31 August 2019 was S$334,074 (A$351,805). The $40,472 difference between the estimated deferred payment and actual deferred payment has been released to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and is included in other expenses.

Acquisition related costs of $17,252 were included in due diligence costs in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2019.

The fair values of the identifiable assets acquired as part of the acquisition is as follows:

Fair value at Fair value at
acquisition date acquisition date
(S$) (A$)
NetSuite customer contracts 165,326 172,197
Customer relationships 168,455 175,456
Sundry debtors 31,460 32,767
Fair value of identifable net assets 365,241 380,420
Goodwill arising on acquisition 234,759 244,515
Consideration 600,000 624,935

It is expected that the acquisition of the Spectrum will deliver the Group additional synergies through a reduction in the overall cost base of the ERP delivery team as the ERP division grows, while it is expected that the Group will be able to increase sales through the Asian market through the ultiisation of the marketing and finance departments from the Group’s head office. These synergies are recognised through the goodwill balance recognised. In addition the acquisition by JCurve Solutions will see the Group receive NetSuite five-star partner margins on Spectrum customers eligible for commission, where pre-acquisition only two star partner margins were received. This synergy has been recognised through the NetSuite customer contracts balance recognised.

Net cash outflow arising on acquisition

The cash outflow on acquisition was $312,467 (S$300,000) with a further deferred payment to be paid in August 2019 based on the performance factors outlined above.

The acquisition of Spectrum affected the year ended 30 June 2019 consolidated result as follows:

30 June 2019
$
Revenue 354,558
Less: expenses (549,999)
Loss before tax (195,441)

The Group has not disclosed the revenue or profit or loss as though the acquisition date for business combination occurred at the start of the financial year as such disclosure would not be reliable with the acquired entities financial statements being unaudited.

46

The useful life of the NetSuite customer contracts intangible asset was assessed as 2.5 years, with the intangible asset being amortised from 18 December 2018 evenly over the 2.5 year period.

The useful life of the customer relationships intangible asset was assessed as 2.5 years, with the intangible asset being amortised from 18 December 2018 evenly over the 2.5 year period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of JCurve Solutions Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of JCurve Solutions Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

BDO East Coast Partnership ABN 83 236 985 726 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Recognition of license and implementation revenue

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

AASB 15 Contracts with Customers uses a five step model to recognise revenue. A number of judgements and estimates are made in order to determine the point at which performance obligations are met and revenue can be recognised. The disclosure in connection with the recognition of license and implementation revenue can be found in Note 3.

Due to the nature of these key estimates and judgements, and given the financial significance of revenue to the users of the financial report, revenue recognition of license and implementation revenue has been determined as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures to address the key audit matter included, but were not limited to, the following:

  • Performing testing, on a sample basis, of management’s judgement in relation to application of “Go-live” date during the year and subsequent to year end to ensure revenue was recorded in the correct accounting period;

  • Review the operating effectiveness of internal controls in relation to the judgements associated with the satisfaction of identified performance obligations;

  • Reviewing a sample of deferred revenue balances at year end to ensure that revenue was appropriately deferred in accordance with the progress of individual projects;

  • Selecting a sample of projects during the year and agreeing them to customer contracts to ensure that revenue and deferred revenue were correctly calculated in accordance with AASB 15 and the Group’s revenue accounting policies.

Acquisition Accounting

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

As disclosed in Note 25 of the financial report, JCurve Solutions Limited acquired the business and assets of the Spectrum Partner Group (an entity incorporated in Singapore).

AASB 3 Business Combinations requires a number of judgements to be made in the acquisition accounting

The audit of the acquisition is a key audit matter due to the significant judgment and complexity involved in assessing the determination of the fair value of identifiable intangible assets and the final purchase price which included contingent deferred consideration.

Our audit procedures to address the key audit matter included, but were not limited to, the following:

  • Reviewing the acquisition agreement to understand the key terms and conditions, and confirming our understanding of the transaction with management;

  • Assessing the estimation of the contingent consideration by challenging the key assumptions;

  • Comparing the assets recognised on acquisition against the historical financial information of the acquired businesses;

  • Obtaining the calculation of the fair value of net identifiable intangible assets acquired to critically assess the determination of the fair values;

  • Reviewing the recoverability of the intangible assets recorded as part of the business combination to ensure they remain recoverable in light of performance following acquisition; and

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

  • Auditing the disclosures associated with the acquisition to ensure they are complete and accurate and reflect the requirements of AASB 3.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Chairman’s letter, Directors Report (excluding the audited Remuneration Report) and Shareholders Information the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf
