Message from the chair

Dear fellow shareholders.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Jcurve Solutions Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 (FY2024) is presented to shareholders.

Our financial results for FY2024 have clearly been disappointing with a drop in year-on-year revenues to $12,738,932 and an overall normalised EBITDA loss (removing one off items) for FY2024 of $106,063. The Company has reported an overall net loss after tax of $1,904,553.

Significantly, FY2024 has been marked by key changes in our senior management team. The appointment of Chris King as Chief Executive Officer in mid-August 2023 saw Chris commence delivering a companywide change agenda, immediately actioning a plan to right-size the overall Group, reduce the historic cost structures that surrounded our service delivery, and realign the business to a front of house and sales focused organisation.

The transformation of Jcurve has been a large undertaking and our new Chief Executive Officer had no time to impact the first half results in a meaningful way. Pleasingly, there have been strong improvements in performance in the second half, with normalised EBITDA (removing one off items) moving from a loss of $612,058 in the first half to a normalised EBITDA gain of $505,995 for the second half of FY2024. We expect these improvements in performance to continue.

Cash at bank has stabilised at $1,596,275 as at 30 June 2024, with the company remaining debt free and with access to working capital facilities of $500,000.

I would personally like to thank all shareholders, and stakeholders more generally, for their ongoing support. Your company is re-invigorated, and well positioned to continue the positive growth shown in the second half of FY2024.

The table above summarises key items between the statutory profit/loss after tax and normalised EBITDA. The directors use normalised EBITDA to assess the performance of the Group.

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 normalised EBITDA result outlined for the comparative period has been adjusted to ensure consistency between the reporting periods.

Director’s report (continued)

The Group’s total revenue for the year ended 30 June 2024 was $12,738,932 (2023: $16,397,138), which includes:

revenue from the sale of JCurveERP/NetSuiteERP licenses and support and implementation revenue of $11,153,253 (2023: $14,367,129);
revenue from the sale of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions $934,109 (2023: $1,046,278);
revenue from the sale of digital marketing solutions from the Dygiq business division $395,815 (2023: $673,892); and
revenue from the sale and implementation of Quicta solutions $255,754 (2023: $309,839).

Total expenses including depreciation for the full year ended 30 June 2024 was $14,419,007 (2023: $16,106,404). The largest expense during the year ended 30 June 2024 was employment expense with $9,280,100 (2023: $9,070,377).

Financial Position as at 30 June 2024

Jcurve Solutions continues to maintain a robust financial position, with significant shifts in asset composition and liability management over the past year. As of 30 June 2024, total assets stand at $8,085,861, a reduction from $13,900,298 in the previous year. This change primarily reflects decreased cash and receivables, strategic divestments, including the disposal of our digital marketing agency, and ongoing amortisation of intangible assets.

Our cash position has decreased to $1,596,275 from $4,265,288, primarily as a result of unfavourable changes in our working capital as well as the losses we incurred in the current financial year and the costs associated with restructuring our business. Despite these reductions, our financial stability is underpinned by solid recurring revenue streams, careful expense management, and a shift towards a leaner organisational structure.

Total liabilities have reduced to $5,808,883 from $9,168,901, demonstrating successful efforts in cost containment. Equity has seen a substantial decrease to $2,276,978 due to accumulated losses, partially impacted by our our strategic investments in business transformation and restructuring initiatives.

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

Director’s report (continued)

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

1) A comprehensive annual insurance program. This program is facilitated by an external broker;
2) A risk register which is regularly reviewed by the Executive Management Team and reported to the Board as part of the Board meeting packs;
3) Annual Strategic and operational business plans; and
4) Annual budgeting and forecasting and monthly forecasting and system evaluation 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.

The Risk Management Policy can be found on the Group’s website: htps://www.jcurvesolutions.com/corporate-governance

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of Jcurve Solutions during the financial year.

Divestment of our digital marketing agency

In line with our strategic focus on optimising our portfolio for enhanced profitability and recurring revenue growth, as outlined by our Chief Executive Officer , Mr. Chris King, during the Annual General Meeting, we announced the disposal of our digital marketing subsidiary, Dygiq in January 2024.

This decision follows a thorough evaluation of Dygiq’s alignment with our core business objectives and long-term financial sustainability. The agency was divested to its original founder under an agreement finalised on 31 January 2024. This transaction not only simplified our operational focus but also improved our financial position by eliminating net liabilities from our balance sheet.

The purchaser assumed responsibility for all outstanding contracts and operational costs associated with Dygiq. This strategic move is expected to bolster our commitment to streamlining operations and focusing on sectors that promise the highest growth potential and stability.

Events since the end of the financial year

There have been no events since the end of the financial year, which have materially impacted the operations of the Group.

Director’s report (continued)

Likely developments and expected results of operations

As we mark one year since the appointment of Chris King as Chief Executive Officer, we are pleased to provide an update on the strategic review that has been underway. This comprehensive review was designed to ensure that Jcurve Solutions not only grows quickly but does so in a profitable and sustainable manner.

Key initiatives and outcomes

Cost Containment and Rightsizing: Initially, our focus was on containing expenses and rightsizing the business to better match our strategic priorities. We implemented significant cost-saving measures and optimised resource allocation, which have substantially improved our operational efficiency.

Leaner Sales Organisation: We transitioned to a leaner sales organisation, restructuring our support and admin teams to enhance focus on sales and high-value clients and sectors. This shift has not only reduced overhead but also increased the effectiveness of our sales efforts.

Portfolio Optimisation: We have completed a thorough assessment of our business units, resulting in the divestment of non-core assets and increased investment in areas with high-growth potential.

Financial Performance: These strategic changes have begun to reflect positively in our financial results, demonstrating improved profitability and a stronger balance sheet.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to building on this momentum with ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing our competitive position and securing long-term growth. We believe these efforts will continue to drive our mission of delivering superior value to our shareholders.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Auditors

The Group has agreed to indemnify all the directors and officers for any breach of laws and regulations arising from their role as a director and officer. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

Jcurve Solutions has not indemnified or agreed to indemnify an auditor of the Group or any related body corporate against liability incurred as an auditor.

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.

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:

Mark Jobling	2022
Graham Baillie	2023
Martin Green	2021

Therefore, under clause 13.2 of the Jcurve Solutions Constitution Martin Green is due for election at the next Annual General Meeting. Furthermore as Robert Wright was appointed during the year, he is due for election under clause 13.4.

Director’s report (continued)

Proceedings on behalf of the company

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

Auditor Independence and Non-Audit Services

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, LNP Audit and Assurance Pty Ltd, to provide the directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the audit of the annual report. This Independence Declaration is set out on page 26 and forms part of this Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Non-Audit Services

There were no non-audit related activities carried out by the Company’s auditors during the year ended 30 June 2024.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Executive Management team are responsible for preparing the Group’s Strategic Plan and evaluating the Company’s progress against that Strategic Plan.

2) Remuneration governance

Remuneration philosophy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of the directors and executives employed by Jcurve Solutions. The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to:

(i) set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees;
(ii) link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and
(iii) establish appropriate performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration.

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive management team.

The composition of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee during the year ended 30 June 2024 was as follows:

(i) Mark Jobling (Chairman) (Non Executive Director – Not Independent);
(ii) Robert Wright (Non Executive Director - Independent); and
(iii) Martin Green (Non Executive Director - Independent).

In relation to the above, all are non-executive directors, the majority of members are independent however the Chairman is not independent. On this basis, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is partially compliant with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

Members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are appointed, removed and/or replaced by the Board. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration which the directors and executives receive on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with overall objectives of:

(i) Ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team;
(ii) Aligned to the Company’s strategic business priorities which have been set to achieve shareholder value;
(iii) Ensuring that the remuneration structure is transparent and easily understood;
(iv) Acceptable to all shareholders.

Director’s report (continued)

Remuneration report (audited) (continued)

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 was as follows:

(i) Chairman: $99,000 per annum;
(ii) Resident non-executive directors: $73,260 including compulsory superannuation per annum;
(iii) Non-resident non-executive directors: $66,000 per annum;
(iv) Chair of the Audit Committee: $11,100 including compulsory superannuation per annum.

There was no change to the remuneration structure for the directors from 1 July 2023.

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2024 and comparative year is detailed in Section 4, Table 1 of the Remuneration report.

Executive remuneration

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

Fixed components

(i) Base salary and benefits, including superannuation

Variable ‘at-risk’ components

(i) Short-term incentives in the form of cash

superannuation bonuses; and

(ii) Long-term incentives, through participation in

the Jcurve Solutions Equity Incentive Plan (EIP).

(i) Base salary and benefits

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash, superannuation/CPF 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.

Director’s report (continued)

Remuneration report (audited) (continued)

3) Remuneration Structure (continued)

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.

A new short term incentive bonus scheme was implemented from 1 July 2022 for the Executive Management Team.

For FY2024, the Board set KPI targets for the Short-term Incentive Plan (STIP) based on the strategic goals and objectives of Jcurve Solutions. Given the changes in executive leadership during the year, specific performance metrics were aligned with the company’s immediate priorities under the new management.

In FY2023, the KPI targets for the STIP were determined by the Board based on Key Result Areas (KRAs) deemed critical to Jcurve Solutions’ performance. The primary KRA for the year ended 30 June 2023 was a total revenue metric. These metrics were established with reference to Jcurve Solutions’ strategic goals and objectives and were measured based on the audited statutory financial results. The KRA targets for FY2023 were not met, and consequently, no bonuses were payable.

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:

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements

About this report

Jcurve Solutions Limited (“the Company”) is a Australian registered company and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. Where reference is made to the Group in the accounting policies, it should be interpreted as referring to the Company where the context requires, unless otherwise noted.

Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRICs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Group’s Board of Directors on 30 August 2024 and released on 30 August 2024.

Basis of Preparation

Jcurve Solutions Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency, on a historical-cost basis.

Changes in Accounting Standards and Regulatory Requirements

The Group has adopted all new and revised accounting standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2023. Please refer to note 1 for further information.

Critical Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that may affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

About this report (continued)

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgements made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are disclosed in the following notes:

recognition of revenue and allocation of purchase price (note 3, page 39). This includes critical judgements
related to determining whether the company acts as a principal or an agent in transactions.
income tax determination in relation to assets and liabilities (note 5, page 45)
trade receivables, expected credit losses (note 7, page 49)
estimation of goodwill impairment (note 10, page 55)
recognition, recoverability and amortisation of intangible assets (note 10, page 55)
estimation uncertainties and judgements made in relation to lease accounting (note 13, page 59)
going concern assessment (page 34)

Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in other notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

Material Accounting Policies

The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group financial statements are set out on the following pages and in the related notes to the Group financial statements. Where applicable, the principal accounting policies applied in the Company financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group financial statements. The principal accounting policies applied are consistent with those adopted in the prior year.

New and Amended Accounting Pronouncements Adopted by the Group

As disclosed in note 1, a number of new pronouncements and/or interpretations were effective from 1 July 2023. These had no material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

New and Amended Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Effective

As disclosed in Note 1, certain new standards, amendments, and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the Group’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2023, or later periods, which the Group has not early adopted, with the exception of AASB 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. The Group has elected to early adopt AASB 18, as detailed in Note 24, but will assess the impact of other new standards and amendments in future reporting periods.

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group incurred a loss after tax for the year of $1,904,553 (30 June 2023: loss after tax of $340,875) and incurred operating cash outflows of $1,217,287 (30 June 2023: operating cash outflows of $145,940). The Group has positive cash balances of $1,596,275 (30 June 2023: $4,265,288). During the year the Group secured a bank loan facility of $500,000, which was undrawn at the end of the year.

The directors have performed an assessment of the company’s ability to meet its obligations via the preparation of a detailed cash flow forecast for the period of twelve months from the date of these financial statements. The cash flow forecast reflects the benefit of certain business improvement strategies and cost reduction initiatives that were undertaken during the financial year. The cash flow forecast accounts for new business and the achievement of revenue targets, ensuring that commission rates are sustained at their current levels throughout the second half of the forecast period.

Based on the cash flow forecast, the directors are satisfied that the Group will be able to realise its assets and settle its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Note 1. Changes in accounting standards

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

The Group has opted to early adopt AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.

Note 2. Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components. The Group’s business is conducted in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines. The Group’s Chief Operating Decision-Maker makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on the information it receives from it’s internal management system. 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.

In addition to revenue, segment results are reported to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker with two measures of profitability:

Operating profit (“Operating Income”); and
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and normalisation items (“Normalised EBITDA”).

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

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Segment information (continued)

The Chief Operating Decision-Maker for the year ended 30 June 2024, considered the business from a product perspective and identified four reportable segments, summarised and described below:

The principles applied in the presented disclosures have been consistently applied during the current financial year. However, certain changes were implemented as part of a management transition, and these are retrospectively adjusted for in the previous financial year’s disclosures where applicable.

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Segment information (continued)

In accordance with AASB 18, the Group presents Management Performance Measures (MPMs) that reflect management’s perspective on the financial performance of the entity. While these MPMs may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities, the Group has provided reconciliations to the most comparable subtotals required by AASB standards.

Detailed disclosures explain the calculation of each reconciling item and its relevance to the MPM. Operating profit and Normalised EBITDA are presented before recognising the following:

Description of Management Performance Measure: Normalised EBITDA

The Group uses Normalised EBITDA as a key Management Performance Measure (MPM) to communicate an aspect of its financial performance that management believes is crucial for understanding the underlying profitability and operational efficiency of the business. Normalised EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortisation) for non-recurring, non-cash, and unusual items that are not indicative of the ongoing performance of the Group.

Why Normalised EBITDA Provides Useful Information

Normalised EBITDA provides useful information by offering a clearer view of the Group’s core operating performance, excluding the impact of financing, accounting, and other factors that can obscure the true economic performance of the business. This measure is particularly valuable for assessing the Group’s ability to generate cash flows from its operations, which is a critical indicator of long-term financial health and sustainability.

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Segment information (continued)

Calculation of Normalised EBITDA

Normalised EBITDA is derived from the Group’s EBITDA by making adjustments for certain items that management considers do not reflect the ongoing operating performance. These adjustments may include non-recurring expenses, restructuring costs, and other items that are excluded to provide a more accurate reflection of the Group’s operational performance. The calculation of Normalised EBITDA aligns with the Group’s accounting policies under AASB Accounting Standards, but differs by excluding specific items that are included in EBITDA as defined by those standards.

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Segment information (continued)

The measures presented below are those that The Chief Operating Decision-Maker of the Group monitors on an ongoing basis. This provides more insight into revenue, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation before normalised items (Normalised EBITDA), operating profit before capital items and depreciation disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income.

The segment revenues, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation before normalised items (Normalised EBITDA) and operating profit generated by each of the Group’s segments are summarised as follows:

Note 3. Revenue from contracts with customers (continued)

Contract assets are recognised when revenue is earned but billing occurs later, given an enforceable right to collect from the customer. The Group accounts for potential impairments of these assets using a simplified approach that records expected lifetime losses from the time the assets are initially recognised. Contract assets are grouped by shared credit risk characteristics and days past due to measure expected credit losses. The expected loss rates for each ageing category are detailed in note 7. None of the contract assets were past due as of 30 June 2024.

The closing balance represents new contracts where the performance obligations have not yet been met by year-end. The current portion of contract liabilities is expected to be recognised as revenue in the next financial year. Contract liabilities mainly arise from customer prepayments for goods or services yet to be delivered.

These liabilities are primarily related to contracts where revenue is recognised at a point in time, usually within one to three years.

Accounting policy

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised based on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received.

(i) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions - JCurveERP and NetSuite

JCurveERP Edition – implementation of JCurveERP and JCurveERP software licenses

The Group enters into contracts with customers to implement and organise the transfer of JCurveERP licenses. The software requires substantial customisation to interface with the customer’s existing systems. Since this customisation can only be performed by a Group consultant due to the uniqueness of JCurveERP, it does not constitute a distinct performance obligation. Therefore, the sole performance obligation is delivering a functional and integrated software system. The transaction price is fixed and specified in the contract. Revenue is recognised over the project’s implementation period as the Group’s performance enhances an asset controlled by the customer. Revenue is recognised using an input method, based on the labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total expected contracted hours, provided the Group can reasonably measure its progress towards fulfilling the performance obligation.

When JCurveERP licenses are renewed or additional licenses are sold after the implementation is complete, revenue is recognised at the point in time when the license is granted to the customer, as specified by the contract start date in the customer’s renewal contract.

NetSuite Edition – Reseller of software licenses

The Group is an authorised reseller of NetSuite software licenses. As the Group does not obtain control of these licenses, it acts as an agent in these arrangements. The NetSuite edition is not unique to the Group, and the implementation can be performed by multiple parties, making the license commission earned and the implementation process separate performance obligations. Commission revenue for the NetSuite edition licenses is recognised at a net amount, representing the commission earned, at the point in time when the customer provides NetSuite with a signed sales order.

Service revenue

The performance obligation for NetSuite edition implementations and service upsells for both JCurveERP and NetSuite edition customers is the delivery of contracted service hours. This obligation is satisfied progressively as services are delivered to the customer. The total contract revenue is fixed and specified in the signed contract. Revenue is recognised using an input method, based on the labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of the total expected contracted hours.

Support

Customers have the option to purchase support services at their stand-alone selling prices, for a fixed period of time. These additional support services, if purchased, are a separate performance obligation to the implementation and licenses and are recognised over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefit. Revenue is recognised using an output method, being the total days elapsed relative to the total contracted support period.

(ii) Telecommunications expense management solutions

The Group has contracts with customers to provide telephone expense management services at a fixed price, as defined in the contract. Revenue is recognised over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefit, using an output method based on the proportion of total days elapsed relative to the total contracted period.

(iii) Quicta solutions

Subscription License Revenue

The Group offers Software-as-a-Service through its proprietary software, Quicta. Revenue is recognised over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefit through their use of the Quicta platform. Revenue is recognised using an output method, based on the proportion of total days elapsed relative to the total contracted period of use. For all sales, when consideration is received upfront, it is initially recognised as a contract liability and only recognised as revenue as or when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Service Revenue

For Quicta customers, the performance obligation is the delivery of contracted service hours. This obligation is satisfied progressively as services are delivered to the customer. The total contract revenue is fixed and specified in the signed contract. Revenue is recognised using an input method, based on the labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of the total expected contracted hours.

Judgements applied in recognising revenue from contracts with customers

The Group applied the requirements of AASB 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the current year. Judgement was applied in recognising revenue for certain revenue streams as detailed below:

Note 3. Revenue from contracts with customers (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

Service Revenue

The Group has contracts with customers where its performance obligation is to provide digital marketing and event based projects. The transaction price, which is at a fixed price, is defined in the contract. Revenue is recognised over time as the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue is recognised using an output method, being the total days elapsed relative to the total contracted project period.

Software, cloud service and related licenses, including software assurance service

The Group provides cloud-related services to our customers. Judgement has been applied to determine whether it acts as an agent or principal in these arrangements, in accordance with the principles of AASB 15. One key judgement is whether control passes to the Group before passing to the customer. The Group has concluded that control does not pass to it; therefore, it acts as an agent in these arrangements, as the vendor has the primary obligation to fulfil the services to the customers.

The Group’s software and related licenses include access to the latest updates from the vendor. Judgement has been applied to determine whether access to these updates is a separate performance obligation by assessing if the thirdparty delivered updates are critical to the core functionality of the software.

Where the Group concludes that the updates are critical to the functionality of the software and can only be delivered by the vendor, it acts as an agent for such software sales, as the vendor has the primary obligation to fulfil the services to the customers.

Note 5. Income Tax (continued)

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

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences when management considers it probable that sufficient future taxable 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 on the likely timing and level of future taxable profits, along with future tax planning strategies.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities

The balance of carried forward tax losses that have not been recognised in the financial statements amounts to $3,094,444 (2023: $2,554,559 unrecognised). The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current legislation. Deferred tax assets totalling $398,097 (2022: $466,738) have not been recognised for these items at this stage because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits.

There are no unrecognised deferred tax liabilities.

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 the notes 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.

Jcurve Solutions Limited, being the head entity, 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.

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 a stand alone basis.

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 a stand alone basis.

Trade receivables

The average credit period on sales of goods and rendering of services is 30 days. Trade receivables, which are non-interest bearing and generally due for settlement within 30 days, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less an allowance for expected credit losses.

A provision has been made for estimated credit losses that might occur in relation to trade receivable balances arising from the past sale of goods and rendering of services. Refer to this note for ageing of receivables. The Group recognised an impairment loss of $ nil in the current year (FY23: $ 6,763).

Accounting Policy

The Group carries loans and receivables at amortised cost. An allowance for impairment is established using the simplified approach, recognising expected lifetime losses from initial recognition.

Trade receivables are categorised by shared credit risk characteristics and days past due for measuring expected credit losses. Expected loss rates are derived from historical credit losses and are adjusted to reflect both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forward-looking macroeconomic factors that may affect borrowers’ ability to pay.

Receivables are recognised at the original invoice amount less an allowance for expected credit losses. This allowance reflects the Group’s estimate of losses on trade receivable balances, applying a probability-weighted model that is discounted using the effective interest rate inherent in the asset. The Group’s ECL model considers all contractual cash flows over the life of the asset and is sensitive to changes in economic conditions.

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 8. Plant and equipment (continued)

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include charges related to the replacement of parts that qualify for capitalisation. The Group offers a choice between the straight-line method and diminishing value method for depreciation, applying it over the assets’ estimated useful lives of 2 to 4 years. Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 6 years, or the lease term.

Residual values, useful lives, and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary. There have been no changes to the useful lives and residual values assessments from the previous year. Assets are derecognised upon disposal or when no further benefits are expected, with any gains or losses recognised in profit or loss in the year of derecognition.

During the fiscal year ended 30 June 2024, the Group capitalised development costs associated with our innovative projects, JTel Next and Quicta, reflecting our strategic commitment to portfolio optimisation and enhancing our technology offerings. This capitalisation aligns with our expectation of significant future economic benefits from these assets.

Accounting Policy

Goodwill

The Group initially measure goodwill on acquisition at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Subsequently goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The Group tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and if appropriate will write its value down when impaired (refer below).

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 10. Intangible assets (continued)

(i) License intangible asset

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 JCurveERP edition of the NetSuite software. This agreement grants Jcurve Solutions exclusive selling rights for the JCurveERP edition of the NetSuite business software for an indefinite period. It was the foundation for Interfleet Pty Ltd to become a NetSuite partner when it became a NetSuite Solution Provider in August 2016. This agreement has been integral to the Company’s ERP practice.

The NetSuite JCurveERP reseller agreement stipulates that in the event of cancellation, Jcurve Solutions’ customers would be assigned to NetSuite. NetSuite would then be required to pay Jcurve Solutions a royalty of 30% of the future revenue stream to NetSuite for a three-year period. This, along with an increasing level of license commission and service revenue from the sale of NetSuite editions, indicates that impairment is unlikely in future periods.

(ii) License intangible asset

On 9 July 2021, Jcurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, a wholly-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 is assessed as having a useful life of 2 years, while the customer relationships intangible asset is assessed as having a useful life of 7 years. Both assets are being amortised on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

(i) Impairment of intangibles with indefinite useful lives

The Group assesses whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least annually. This involves estimating the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which these assets 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. These licenses are amortised on a straight-line basis over this period.

(iii) Useful life of the Quicta Platform

The Group has determined that the useful life of the Quicta Platform is 5 years. The platform is amortised on a straight-line basis over this period.

Impairment testing of intangible assets with indefinite lives

(i) Goodwill

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

The carrying value of the goodwill balance increased to $261,535 after revaluation from exchange rate movements. The Asia ERP Cash Generating Unit includes goodwill, NetSuite customer contracts, customer relationships intangible assets, and allocated group non-current assets.

The recoverable amount of the Asia ERP Cash Generating Unit has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections over a 5-year period. The discount rate applied was 10.2% (2023: 13.5%), with a long-term growth rate of 2% (2023: 5%) and a terminal value assumed. Accordingly, an impairment charge of $264,987 was recognised for the year ended 30 June 2024 (2023: nil).

Accounting policy

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the lease commencement date, when the asset becomes available for use. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate if the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Lease payments include fixed payments, less any lease incentives, variable payments linked to an index or rate, amounts expected under residual value guarantees, purchase option exercise prices if reasonably certain, and anticipated termination penalties. Variable lease payments not linked to an index or rate are expensed as incurred.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease term to maintain a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term, unless ownership transfers to us by the end of the lease term or the right-of-use asset’s cost reflects that we will exercise a purchase option. In such cases, the asset is depreciated over its useful life.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in future lease payments due to an index or rate change, residual guarantee, lease term, certainty of a purchase option, or 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 right-of-use asset is fully written down.

The Group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for short-term leases (terms of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments for these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

(e) Capital Management

When managing capital (equity), the board’s objectives are to ensure the Group continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The board adjusts the capital structure as necessary to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, the board may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or reduce debt that may be incurred to acquire assets.

During FY24, the Board paid no dividends (FY23: $574,601). The Board has carefully reviewed the current market conditions and the Group’s funding requirements. As a result of this review, the Board has determined that it will not declare dividends in the foreseeable future. This decision is aligned with our strategic focus on reinvesting earnings to support the longterm growth and sustainability of the business.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements

Note 18. Share-based payments

Shares Issued under Equity Incentive Plan

The Employee Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2023. The plan allows for the issuance of up to a maximum of 38,000,000 securities, comprising up to 18,000,000 securities for the Chief Executive Officer and up to 20,000,000 securities for future general allocation under the Incentive Plan.

Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can influence those returns through its power to direct the investee’s relevant activities. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

Non-controlling interests in the acquiree may be measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling shareholders’ proportion of the net identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.

Eliminations on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, including unrealised gains or losses, are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest. Unrealised losses from such transactions are also eliminated unless there is evidence of impairment.

Note 21. Financial risk management

The Group’s business activities exposes it to various financial risks, including market risk (foreign exchange, price, and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management program focuses on minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance due to market unpredictability. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments but employs sensitivity analysis for interest rate and foreign exchange risks, and aging analysis for credit risk. Risk management is conducted by the CFO under policies approved by the board of directors, with close cooperation from senior management to identify, evaluate, and mitigate financial risks.

All financial assets, except cash and cash equivalents, are classified as loans and receivables at amortised cost. All financial liabilities are recorded at amortised cost.

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises for us when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollar. The Group earns income in United States Dollar (“USD”).

At 30 June 2024 if the foreign exchange rates had changed, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables remaining constant, other comprehensive income and equity would have been affected as follows:

(i) Foreign exchange risk (continued)

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.

Sensitivity analysis

A 1% strengthening/weakening in the Australian Dollar against the following currencies at reporting date would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss and equity by the amounts shown below.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2023.

(ii) Price risk

The Group is not exposed to equity securities or commodity price risk.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arises mainly from cash and cash equivalents bearing variable interest rates. The Group’s surplus cash position fluctuates regularly, and most funds are kept in at-call accounts due to ongoing liquidity needs. It’s borrowings are not material, and lease liabilities are fixed rate instruments, not exposing us to fair value interest rate risk. At balance date, the Group maintained the following variable rate accounts:

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from our financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, contract assets, and trade, finance lease, and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk stems from potential counterparty default, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group does not use credit derivatives to offset this risk. Policies are in place to ensure that sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit history, and collateral is not typically obtained. The Group sets and regularly monitors risk limits for each customer in accordance with board-approved parameters.

Specific information as to the Group’s credit risk exposures is as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a large financial institution with high credit ratings.
During the FY24 year, the Group received significant commissions from NetSuite, which constitutes a substantial portion of our revenue and cash receipts. Refer to note 3 for further information.
At 30 June 2024 the Group’s largest customer and material debtor accounted for more than 10% of the
total balance. The ten largest debtors comprised approximately 41% of total debtors (FY23: 60%). These debtors are primarily from the private sector, reflecting our customer base in the software industry.
Customers typically lack independent credit ratings. The Group evaluates customer credit quality based on financial position, historical data, and other relevant factors. Risk limits are set individually, guided by internal assessments and market intelligence, within board-approved parameters. The credit management department regularly ensures compliance with these limits. Upfront payment is generally sought for all revenue streams; however, it is mandatory before the commencement of system implementation for new clients.
Management believes the credit quality of the Group’s customer base is high based on the very low level of bad debt write-offs experienced historically. In FY24 total bad debt write-offs as a percent of the trade receivables carrying amount as at 30 June 2024 was 0.00% (FY23: 0.04%).

Please refer to note 7 for a breakdown of the debtors age analysis.

Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 21. Financial risk management (continued)

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management involves maintaining sufficient cash and access to committed credit facilities. The Group ensures flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. Liquidity risk is managed by monitoring cash flows and maintaining adequate cash and unused borrowing facilities.

At reporting date the Group had used none (FY23: $ Nil) of the working capital facility and had access to an undrawn working capital facility of $500,000 at the reporting date.

Maturity of financial liabilities

The table below categorises the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groups based on their contractual maturities, calculated as their undiscounted cash flows. All the financial liabilities are non-derivative and measured at amortised cost.

The carrying amounts of financial assets (net of any provision for impairment) and current financial liabilities approximate fair value primarily because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of the non-current receivables approximates fair value because the interest rate applicable to the receivables approximates current market rates.

Note 24. Impact of Early Adoption of AASB 18

The Group has early adopted AASB 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board in June 2024. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but the Group has elected to apply it from 30 June 2024. The Group has applied the standard retrospectively, as required by AASB 108, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The retrospective application has involved the following adjustments and restatements:

1) Reclassification of Income and Expenses:

Income and expenses have been reclassified into the newly defined categories of operating, investing, and
financing activities as required by AASB 18. This reclassification provides a clearer distinction between the core operating results and other financial activities of the Group.
Subtotals such as operating profit and profit before income and taxes have been introduced to enhance the
analytical usefulness of the income statement.

Mark Jobling Chair 30 August 2024 Sydney

Independent Auditor’s Report

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 controlled entities (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.

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

a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2024 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
b) 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 auditor independence requirements of 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 (including Independence Standards) (the “Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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 year. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)

==> picture [539 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

Key Audit Matter Revenue recognition

The Group recognised revenue of $12,738,932 in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the year ended 30 June 2024. In addition, contract assets of $207,887 representing rights to payment conditional on further performance and contract liabilities of $2,105,119 representing unsatisfied performance obligations were also recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as of that date.

The Group’s revenue comprises fees and commissions derived across a number of revenue streams from the sale and implementation of software and the provision of support services.

We determined revenue recognition to be a key audit matter due to the following:

The balances are material to the Group and there are risks associated with management judgements relating to the identification of contracts and performance obligations, allocation of the transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition based on the nature of products sold or services provided; and

How our audit addressed the matter

Our procedures included, amongst others:

Assessment of the revenue recognition policies for appropriateness and compliance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , including reviewing their consistency with the prior periods;
Testing of a sample of revenue transactions to supporting documentation to assess whether recognition criteria was met for each revenue stream;
Assessment of the identification of performance obligations and evaluating the timing of revenue recognition for a sample of contracts;
Testing a sample of contract asset and contract liability balances by assessing assumptions used to estimate costs to complete and evaluating the timing of revenue recognition based on expected completion dates; and
Assessment of the adequacy of revenue disclosures in the financial statements.
Revenue recognition is a presumed fraud risk under Australian Auditing Standards.

Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024 which 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 upon 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 (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 ; and

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)

==> picture [539 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability 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 cease operations, or have 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 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the Group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)

==> picture [539 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

REPORT ON THE REMUNERATION REPORT

Opinion on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 14 to 25 of the Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2024.

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Jcurve Solutions Limited for the year ended 30 June 20xx, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
