JCurve Solutions Limited

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Over the past year, Jcurve Solutions has consistently achieved record quarterly sales growth results, which saw FY2022 sales exceed $15 million.

Financial Strength - Accelerating Growth

Pleasingly, during the year ended 30 June 2022 (FY2022), the key financial measures of success (sales, revenue, EBITDA and net profit before tax) all increased significantly against the results achieved in the comparative FY2021 period. We achieved this growth despite the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and enduring lockdowns in key operating locations.

Your company remains debt free and continues to hold strong cash reserves, with a cash balance of $4.5m as of 30 September 2022, which is important as we continue to explore M&A opportunities. The company was cash flow positive in FY2022, including the effect of paying cash for acquisitions and product development, and has increasing levels of unearned income ($4.0m as of 30 June 2022), which will be brought into the statutory revenue line as these customer implementations meet delivery milestones.

Outlook

We are forecasting strong growth from our existing business operations in FY2023, and with this in mind, we have been busy expanding the size of our team to meet this expected demand. At this same time, we are focused on this growth delivering to our bottom-line earnings and profit results.

We continue to focus on identifying and evaluating complementary technology business merger and acquisition opportunities to further fast-track our growth. Over the past six months our focus has been evaluating larger business opportunities that will result in further growth step-changes in our revenue and profitability moving forward.

Final Remarks

Thank you to our shareholders, employees, customers and partners for your ongoing support. Over the past year, your support has helped Jcurve Solutions deliver four record sales quarters and profitably navigate challenging market trends during the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to a successful year ahead.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Remuneration report (Audited) (continued)

The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement which can be found on the Company’s website: http://www.jcurvesolutions.com/corporate-governance, provides further information on the role of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and its composition and structure.

Executive remuneration

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

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 structure for the directors from 1 July 2022 is as follows:

  • (i) Chairman: $99,000 including superannuation per annum;

  • (ii) Resident non-executive directors: $72,930 including compulsory superannuation per annum;

  • (iii)Non-resident non-executive directors: $66,000 including superannuation per annum;

  • (iv)Chair of the Audit Committee: $10,000 including compulsory superannuation per annum.

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2022 and comparative year is detailed in Section 4, Table 1 of the Remuneration report.

(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, with the uncertainty associated with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s performance and position, the decision was made for the Executive teams’ entitlement to bonuses for the years ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2021 to be waived.

JCurve Solutions Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Remuneration report (Audited) (continued)

The FY2022 KPI targets for the Short-term incentive plan were determined by the Board based on Key Result Areas (KRA’s) which the Board believes will affect the performance of JCurve Solutions during the financial year. The KRA for the year ended 30 June 2022 was a total revenue metric and the overall target for 100% of the STI paid was $20 million of sales with an STI payable of a sliding scale down from that target. The metric is determined with reference to JCurve Solutions strategic goals and objectives and is measured based on the audited statutory financial results. This short-term incentive scheme takes the form of a cash bonus payable.

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

FY2022 STI FY2021 STI
Potential (*) Potential () (*)
Executives
Stephen Canning 61% 32%
James Aulsebrook 50% 27%
Katrina Doring 51% 55%
Arthur Fernandez 51% 29%
James Butler 62% 29%

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

(**) With the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic significantly affecting the Company’s results in April 2021, all members of the Executive Management Team, elected to waive all eligible bonuses under the FY2021 short term incentive schemes.

(iii) Long-term incentive

The long-term equity incentive plan is designed to align a portion of Executive Remuneration with long term shareholder value.

The JCurve Solutions Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2016 and reapproved on 19 November 2019. There were no new performance rights issued during the year ended 30 June 2022.

NOTE 2: SEGMENT REPORTING

(a) 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.

(b) Description of segments

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.

The Board and Executive Management Team for the year ended 30 June 2022, considered the business from a product perspective and identified five reportable segments:

  • ERP – AU: ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services sold to Australian and New Zealand customers; and

  • ERP – Asia: ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services sold to Southeast Asia customers; and

  • TEMS - The development and marketing of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions (JTEL and Full Circle Group) sold to Australian customers; and 24

  • Quicta – The development and sale of service management and scheduling software; and

  • Dygiq – Providing digital marketing services

The group/head office is a cost centre and is not a reportable operating segment. The results of its operations are included in the unallocated column in the segment information below.

The Group operates in two geographical segments being Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) along with Southeast Asia.

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) NOTE 3: REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME (continued)

(1) Accounting policy

Revenue recognition

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 3: Determine the transaction price;

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

The Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy is that:

(i) The performance obligation for an ERP implementation and project income is satisfied as the services are delivered to the customer; (ii) The performance obligation for ERP licenses on new ERP implementations is satisfied when control of the underlying asset (ERP software) has been transferred to the customer;

(iii) The performance obligation for the ERP license fees for existing ERP solutions is satisfied at the point of time when the sale is made to the customer; (iv) The performance obligation for providing ERP software customers with technical support is satisfied over the contracted period; (v) The performance obligation for providing Telecommunication Expense Management solutions is satisfied over the contracted period;

(vi) The performance obligation for the implemented Quicta software is satisfied when the Quicta software has been installed and is operating materially as contractually required; and (vii) The performance obligation for providing digital marketing services is satisfied as the services are delivered over the contracted period.

Following changes to the mix of customer contracts sold and likely to be sold in future periods, whereby there has been a significant increase in the number of Enterprise edition ERP sales and implementations in recent financial years, the Group reassessed its revenue recognition policy for the recognition of revenue from services being delivered as part of an ERP customer contract. Previously service income was recognised as revenue on completion of the project. In reconsidering its revenue recognition policy, the Group determined that control of the asset was transferred over time rather than at completion of a project on the basis that it was able to satisfy one of the following components:

•The Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as it is created or enhanced; and

•The Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the customer and the Group has an enforceable right to payment.

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.

(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. A separate performance obligation exists when a customer has purchased business consulting or initial process design advice in the form of a business requirements document.

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 ERP software implementation is satisfied when control of the underlying asset (ERP software) has been transferred to the customer. Control of the asset is transferred over the contractual period as: a) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the work performed by the Company; b) The asset is created and enhanced over the contractual period and controlled by the customer; and

c) The Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) NOTE 3: REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME (continued)

Revenue from ERP software implementation is recognised over the contractual period. Revenue is recognised based on percentage completed in the ongoing projects.

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 business consulting is when the advice is delivered.

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

recognised based on percentage completed in the ongoing projects.

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating.

NOTE 4: EXPENSES

(1) Accounting policy

• Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

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.

• Long service leave

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.

NOTE 5: INCOME TAX (continued)

(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 carry-forward 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.

(ii) 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.

and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 5: INCOME TAX (continued)

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 $1,413,014 (2021: $413,556 unrecognised). The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current legislation. Deferred tax assets totalling $245,941 (2021: $103,389) 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.

There are no unrecognised deferred tax liabilities.

(4) Tax Consolidation

JCurve Solutions and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have 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) and below. 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.

The Australian 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 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.

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.

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.

JCurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd is a tax resident entity of Singapore and current and deferred tax amounts are accounted for the company based on JCurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd as a taxpayer on its own in Singapore.

JCurve Solutions Philippines Inc. is a tax resident entity of the Philippines and current and deferred tax amounts are accounted for the company based on JCurve Solutions Philippines Inc. as a taxpayer on its own in the Philippines.

(i) The average credit period on sales of goods and rendering of services is 30 days. An provision has been made for Estimated Credit Losses that might occur to the Trade Receivable balances arising from the past sale of goods and rendering of services, determined by reference to past default experience. Refer to note 21(6) for ageing of receivables.

(1) Accounting policy

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an provision for Expected Credit Loss. A provision for expected credit loss 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’s accounting policy includes the recognition of credit losses in the provision for expected credit loss 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.

(2) Provision for expected credit loss reconciliation

At 30 June 2022, trade receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $6,786 (2021: Nil) were subject to Expected Credit Losses. The provision for expected credit loss was $78,632 (2021: $44,779). The movement in the provision for expected credit loss is as follows:

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(ii) Additions: License intangible asset

On 9 July 2021, JCurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of JCurve Solutions Limited, purchased the business assets of Rapid E-Suite Pte Ltd’s Thailand operations, a NetSuite Solution Provider in Thailand. The purchase price was allocated to customer contracts and customer relationships. The customer contracts intangible asset was assessed as having a useful live of 2 years and the customer relationships intangible assets was assessed as having a useful live of 7 years, both of which reflects the period in which the intangible assets are being amortised over on a straight-line basis.

(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.

tised 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 year-end. 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.

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.

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 NetSuite ERP Licenses – Australia

The Group has determined that the useful life of the ERP Licenses in Australia for NetSuite is 10 years. The ERP Licenses is to be amortised on a straight-line basis over the ten year period. This is a reassessment of the useful life of the licence in accordance with the requirements of AASB 138 Intangible Assets. The Group previously assessed the useful life of ERP Licenses in Australia for NetSuite to be indefinite based on fact that the reseller agreement signed with Oracle NetSuite in 2016 provides JCurve Solutions with indefinite selling rights to NetSuite ERP system, and a termination of the contract is highly unlikely to happen.

However, during the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group has reassessed this view. It has been determined that in a rapid changing world with new accounting technologies constantly emerging and the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic being gradually restored, it is difficult to justify that a technology or a solution in its current form will exist forever. Therefore, the Group has assessed the ERP Licenses in Australia for NetSuite to be amortised on a straight-line basis over 10 years which is the Directors best estimate of its useful life taking into account the risk to changes in technology outlined above.

(iii) Useful life of the Quicta Platform

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) NOTE 13: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) (3) Impairment testing of intangible assets with indefinite lives

(i) Goodwill

The goodwill balance was recognised on the acquisition of the Spectrum business in December 2018 and is allocated to the ERP Asia CGU.

The recoverable amount of the Asia ERP Cash Generating Unit 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 12.5% (2021: 12.5%). A long-term growth rate of 3% 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 2022 (2021: nil).

The carrying value of the Goodwill balance increased to $245,058 after revaluation from exchange rate movements. The carrying value of the Asia ERP Cash Generating Unit includes goodwill, the NetSuite customer contracts intangible asset, the customer relationships intangible asset in addition to an allocation of group non-current assets.

If the discount rate applied was 2.5% higher (at 15%) the recoverable amount would decrease by $1,855,884 and if the discount rate applied was 2.5% lower (at 10%) the recoverable amount would increase by $2,803,895. If the long-term growth rate projection applied was 10% lower than the amount forecast, the recoverable amount would decrease by $1,359,119 and if the long-term growth rate projection applied was 10% higher the recoverable amount would increase by $1,393,554.

Based on the value in use calculations prepared, even in the instance of a higher discount rate or lower long term growth rate, the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit exceeds the carrying value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) NOTE 14: RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS (continued)

(1) Accounting policy

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset for all short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Where applicable, lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit and loss as incurred. In FY2022, $4,000 of lease payments were directly expensed to profit and loss.

(1) Accounting policy

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

The Group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for all short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of 26,760 10,460 low-value assets. Where applicable, lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. In FY2022, $4,000 of lease payments were directly expensed to profit and loss.

(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 2.73% (2021: 2.73%).

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 27(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).

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.

NOTE 21: CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Judgement is required as to whether revenue is recognised over time or at a point in time.

Revenue relating to the projects is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the service at reporting date and where the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date for satisfaction of the performance obligation over time as a percentage of the total performance obligation. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable. Contract liabilities (unearned revenue) and contract assets (as relates to accrued revenue) is therefore held in the statement of financial position depending on the stage of satisfaction of the performance obligation completed over time.

(2) Impairment of intangibles – refer to note 13

(i) Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular cash generating units that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is determined. This involves value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

(ii) Impairment of goodwill

calculation, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

(3) Expected credit loss – refer to note 8

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in note 8, is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.

(4) Recovery of deferred tax assets – refer to note 5

Deferred tax assets for tax losses are recognised only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those losses.

(5) Business combinations – refer to note 28

consideration and critically valuing the intangible assets for each business combination. Several factors are taken into consideration in valuing intangibles including revenue growth assumptions and discount rates underlying the valuation of customer contracts and relationships.

NOTE 22: 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.

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative 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 $34,165 and decrease by $7,781 respectively (2021: increase by $26,385 and decrease by $4,942). 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

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk from movements in the Australian dollar relative to Singapore Dollar, Philippine Peso and US Dollar. 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 bank accounts with DBS Bank denominated in Singapore Dollars and Union Bank denominated in Philippines Peso and US Dollars, so that income received from Asian customers is deposited and held in the overseas currency without the need to translate in multiple currencies.

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

(6) Credit Risk

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.

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.

At 30 June 2022, the ageing analysis of trade receivables is as follows:

  • PDNI - Past due not impaired CI - Considered impaired

The receivables which are past due but not considered to have suffered an expected credit loss was $454,145 (2021: $266,854).

The provision for expected credit loss as at 30 June 2022 is $78,632 (2021: $44,779). The provision for expected credit loss included an estimate for ECL of $71,523 (2021: $44,779).

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.

The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic have seen an increasing level of focus on liquidity risk which has included adjustments to the Group’s financial modelling and the monthly papers presented to the Board including a 12-month going concern forecast.

(i) Accounting policy - Leases

Right-of-use assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for all short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Where applicable, lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Lease liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

NOTE 27: SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS

(i) Shares issued under Equity Incentive Plan

Performance Rights issued during the year ended 30 June 2021

On 16 March 2021, 4,100,000 performance rights (valued at $50,226) were issued to employees under the equity incentive plan that was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 19 November 2019. 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 in three tranches as follows:

(1) Tranche one: 500,000 performance rights vests of 31 January 2022 with performance condition in share price of 10 cents; (2) Tranche two: 3,100,000 performance rights vests of 30 June 2022 with performance condition in share price of 7.5 cents; (3) Tranche three: 500,000 performance rights vests of 31 January 2023 with performance condition in share price of 12.5 cents.

The Performance Rights under this plan have both a performance and service condition before converting into shares.

The performance conditions for the performance rights are that if the VWAP of JCS shares for any 30-day (continuous) period during the six months ending the vesting date outlined above, equals or exceeds the nominated share price, then 100% of the performance rights will vest. The share price hurdle is a ‘cliff face’ with no intermediate share price thresholds. If the performance condition is not met as at the vesting date, then the Performance Rights will automatically lapse.

In addition to a performance condition, there is a service condition which requires the employee to retain continuous employment with JCurve Solutions for the period of the Performance right.

During the year ended 30 June 2022, 2,600,000 performance rights (valued at $35,728) lapsed under the plan due to the performance condition associated with the performance rights not being met. 1,000,000 performance rights were cancelled under the plan due to resignation of the staff before vesting date resulting the service condition of the performance rights not being met.

Acquisition of the business and assets of Rapid E-Suite

On 9 July 2021, JCurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of JCurve Solutions Limited, purchased the business assets of Rapid E-Suite Pte Ltd’s Thailand operations, a NetSuite Solution Provider in Thailand. The purchase price was allocated to customer contracts and customer relationships.

The purchase price was to be paid across an initial completion cash payment of S$250,000 (paid on the 9/7/2021 in cash), a milestone completion cash payment of S$50,000 (paid on the 15 September 2021 in cash), an interim deferred payment in February 2022 and a final deferred payment in August 2022. The deferred payments are based on the level of income generated in the Thailand territory for 12 months immediately after the acquisition date and are capped at a deferred payment of S$500,000. The deferred payments required the vendor to sign a consultancy agreement before the completion date with JCurve Solutions Asia. The Asset Purchase Agreement stipulated that the interim and final deferred payments are subject to a clause of forfeiture should the vendor terminate the consultancy agreement before the end of their twelve-month consultancy period. On the 1st of March 2022 an interim deferred payment of $405,464 (S$411,780) was paid.

Due diligence costs in respect of the acquisition totalling $4,967 were included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2021. There were no due diligence costs in respect of the acquisition incurred in the twelve-month period ended 30 June 2022.

The assets purchased as part of the acquisition include Rapid E-Suite Pte Ltd’s existing 20 customers in Thailand and the associated business contracts.

The determined fair values of the assets and liabilities of Rapid E-Suite Thailand acquired as part of the acquisition as at the date of acquisition are as follows:

In accordance with the requirements of AASB 3 paragraph 55A, the deferred payment is remuneration and is included in the employee benefits expense line item in the Statement of Comprehensive income. The deferred payment is expected to be paid in full and is being recognised evenly across the twelve-month consultancy period to match the consultancy payments which are being made. Accordingly, for the twelve months ended 30 June 2022, an employee benefits expense of S$500,000 was recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Income, a gain on bargain purchase of $143,310 was recognised as other income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, reflecting the excess value of the fair value of assets acquired compared to the purchase price.

The cash outflow on acquisition was $298,263 (S$300,000) with a further deferred payment of $405,464 (S$411,780) paid on the 106,705 1st of March 2022 and a final deferred payment of S$88,220 expected to be paid in August 2022 based on the performance factor (83,780) and continuing service as a consultant as outlined above. (16,665)

The contingent consideration paid $405,464 (S$411,780) has been recorded as payments to suppliers and employees as a cash flow from operating activities rather than cash flows used in investing activities.

  • a giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue recognition (note 3)

Revenue of $15,269,043 has been recognised during the year ended 30 June 2022.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

  • Assessing the revenue recognition policies for appropriateness and compliance with AASB 15 as well as reviewing consistency with the prior period;

  • • Testing a sample of revenue transactions for each revenue stream by vouching back to sales contracts and service agreements, assessing the identification of performance obligations, and evaluating the timing of revenue recognition;

  • • Testing a sample of deferred revenue balances by vouching back to sales contracts and service agreements, assessing the identification of performance obligations, and evaluating the timing of revenue recognition;

  • • Assessing whether revenue has been recognised in accordance with revenue recognition policies; and

  • • Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in the financial statements.

The Group recognises revenue across six separate revenue streams: ERP implementation and project revenue, ERP licence revenue, technical support revenue, telecommunication expense management solutions revenue, Quicta software implementation revenue, and digital marketing services revenue. The revenue recognition process and policies differ for each stream depending on the nature of the products and services provided to the customer in accordance with AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Estimation and judgement are used regarding timing and the amount of revenue to be recognised.

This area is a key audit matter due to the material nature of the balance, the volume of transactions and the importance of the revenue balance to the Group’s stakeholders.

The recoverable amount of intangible assets (note 2 and note 13)

As at 30 June 2022, the Group’s intangible assets of $3,178,552 consists of licences, software, goodwill, customer relationships, and NetSuite customer contracts.

AASB 136: Impairment of Assets requires that intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use must be tested for impairment annually. AASB 136 also requires that goodwill acquired in a business combination be allocated to each of the Group’s cashgenerating units (CGUs). Each CGU to which goodwill has been allocated must be tested for impairment annually.

Management has analysed the impairment indicators under AASB 136 and performed impairment testing for the following CGUs; ERP – AU, Quicta and Creative Quest. An impairment test was also performed for ERP – Asia with goodwill allocated of $245,058.

We have determined this is a key audit matter due to the judgements and estimates required to determine the appropriate CGUs and calculate the recoverable amount.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

  • Enquiring with management to obtain and document an understanding of their processes and controls related to the assessment of impairment, including identification of CGUs, allocation of assets, and the calculation of the recoverable amount for each CGU;

  • Obtaining management’s value in use calculation to: − Test the mathematical accuracy;

  • Evaluate management’s ability to perform accurate estimates by comparing historical forecasting to actual results;

  • Test forecast cash inflows and outflows to be derived by the CGU’s assets; and

  • Agree discount rates applied to forecast future cash flows;

  • Evaluating the value in use model against the requirements of AASB 136;

  • Performing sensitivity analysis on the significant inputs and assumptions made by management in preparing the calculation; and

  • Assessing the adequacy of financial report disclosures.

Business combination (note 28)

Our procedures included, amongst others:

On 9 July 2021, JCurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of JCurve Solutions Limited, purchased the business assets of Rapid E-Suite Pte Ltd’s Thailand operations, a NetSuite Solution Provider in Thailand.

  • Considering the legal documents, the purchase price allocation reports, and management’s position paper on the acquisitions to obtain an understanding of the transaction;

  • Assessing whether the acquisitions met the definition of a business in accordance with AASB 3;

The purchase price was to be paid across an initial completion cash payment of SGD 250,000, a milestone completion cash payment of SGD 50,000, an interim deferred payment in February 2022 and a final deferred payment in August 2022, with the deferred payments being capped at SGD 500,000.

  • Assessing management’s determination of the fair value of both the purchase consideration and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired;

  • • Assessing the identification of intangible assets acquired, including NetSuite customer contracts and customer relationships, along with the valuation methodologies used to value these assets;

  • • Challenging the associated underlying forecast cash flows for the NetSuite customer contracts and customer relationships intangible asset valuations and comparing key assumptions to historical results;

When an acquisition meets the definition of a business combination, AASB 3: Business Combinations requires management to exercise judgement to determine the fair value of the purchase consideration and any postemployment arrangements, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, and the allocation of purchase consideration to separately identifiable intangible assets and goodwill or gain on bargain purchase.

  • Evaluating discount rates used by assessing the cost of capital applied in the valuation by comparing them to market data and industry research;

Business combinations are a key audit matter due to the size of the acquisition and their materiality to the Group, the level of judgement required in evaluating the Group’s purchase price allocation, including the assessment of identifiable intangible assets arising on acquisition.

  • Testing the mathematical accuracy of the cash flow models;

  • • Assessing the amount and accounting treatment of acquisition costs and post-employment agreements by testing a sample of items to supporting documentation;

  • • Testing the Group’s accounting for the transactions, including checking the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and associated journal entries; and

  • • Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in the financial statements.
