Review of Operations
The half year ended 31 December 2017 (1HY2018) was a period of transition for JCurve Solutions as we have invested in our people and internal capabilities to ensure we are well established to achieve the medium to longer term sustained business growth which has been forecast. During the six-month period we employed a further net 9 employees in roles within marketing, sales and professional services which are critical to the longer term financial success of JCurve Solutions.
Although the overall half year sales and revenue result is at the lower end of our forecast range, with the expanded team now in place we are confident of achieving our full year sales and revenue forecast. The additional investment in our team during the half year should translate into financial success in 2HY2018 as the new employees gain the necessary experience. This combined with the seasonality of sales by our ERP business and strong pipeline of sales opportunities ensures we are well positioned to meet the forecast. Our business is growing and sales mix changing as we pick up larger contracts which have a longer lead time to full revenue recognition but provide a very strong foundation for the business.
The Executive Management team and Board continue to focus on our three previously stated strategic objectives as outlined below:
1) Investing to grow the ERP business
During the half year period ending 31 December 2017, the ERP division grew by 21% after recognising $3.5m of revenue, which is a significant increase from the restated $2.9m in 1HY2017. The profit before tax for the ERP division was $128,450 (1HY2017: $5,861). The majority of the investment in our employees has been in the growing ERP division. Over the past twelve months, we have increased the number of ERP solutions we sell, through the sale of the NetSuite editions and MYOB Advanced editions which required further investment in our people. The majority of the planned investment has now been made and after a ramp up period during 1HY2018 we are well positioned to deliver stronger 2HY2018 sales and project delivery results in the second half of FY2018. Project delivery results are expected to be stronger in 2HY2018 as we close a number of larger NetSuite and MYOB Advanced projects which we sold in 1HY2018 which were in the process of being implemented as at 31 December.
2) Maximising value from the TEMS business
Our Telecommunications Expense Management (TEMS) product division has continued to reduce customer churn, primarily through stronger customer relationships and longer term customer contracts. For the half year period ending 31 December 2017 we were able to recognise $1.5 million of revenue from our TEMS solutions which was an 8% decrease on the revenue recognised in 1HY2017 which is well below the 28% decrease experienced in FY2017. The profit before tax and before any development costs for the TEMS division was $914,130 (1HY2017: $929,319). We have continued to reinvest the profits generated by the TEMS product division into research and development (R&D) activities, spending $462,958 before R&D tax credits (1HY2017: $359,522) during the half year period which is intended to not only minimise TEMS churn but capitalise on related expense management opportunities. We are anticipating going to market with the new expense management solutions in early FY2019.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
3) Diversification by leveraging our core strengths and capabilities
The Executive Management Team and Board have continued to investigate potential acquisition targets throughout the Asia Pacific region in 1HY2018. The targets which are being investigated have synergies for our growing ERP business.
From a diversification perspective, we have continued to enter into new partnerships throughout the half year period which extended our cloud ERP offerings while building on the partnership with MYOB to ensure we are expanding our target market and being recognised as the solution provider of choice for businesses in Australia and New Zealand.
The Group recognised a net profit after tax of $393,427 for the half year period ended 31 December 2017 (2016 restated: $118,770 loss). Following a significant increase in the recruitment of employees in areas of the business which will make and deliver sales and an expansion of products being sold, the Group has assessed that it is now probable that future tax profits will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits thereof. This followed an increase in taxable temporary differences recognised during 1HY2018 and has resulted in the Group recognising carried forward tax losses in the financial results presented in this half year report.
The ‘Normalised EBITDA’ loss for the half year period ended 31 December 2017 was $125,730 (2016: $88,680 loss), which has been determined as follows:
| Statutory profit/(loss) after income tax for the half year period Add back: non-cash expenses: Depreciation / amortisation Total non-cash expenses Income tax expense/(benefit) Interest income Finance (income)/cost Normalised EBITDA loss for the half year period |
Half-year 2017 2016 (Restated ) $* $ |

Normalised EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and represents the profit under AAS adjusted for specific significant items. The table above summarises key items between the statutory loss after tax and normalised EBITDA. The directors use normalised EBITDA to assess the performance of the Group.
Normalised EBITDA has not been subject to any specific review procedures by our auditor but has been extracted from the accompanying auditor reviewed financial report.
Revenue for the half year period ended 31 December 2017 increased by 11%, from $4.5m in the corresponding comparative period (restated for the impacts of AASB 15) to $5.0m in the half year reporting period ended 31 December 2017. The focus of the ERP business has been to expand JCurve Solutions capabilities to sell and service NetSuite and MYOB Advanced customers as well as continuing to sell and implement our industry leading small business edition of NetSuite; JCurveERP. The Group has also continued to provide services to the largest telecommunication expense management customers, some renewing under multi-year contracts in addition to undertaking research and development activities for generalised expense management solutions.
A combination of lower than forecast sales, a change in the overall product mix sold and higher recruitment costs resulted in net cash outflows from operating activities for the 6-month period ending 31 December 2017 totalling $0.7m. Additionally customers purchasing the NetSuite and MYOB Advanced editions will generally be on a payment plan over the implementation period whereas much of the costs incurred by JCurve Solutions on these sales are up front. At 31 December 2017, the Group held cash reserves of $2.7m, whilst remaining debt free ensuring JCurve Solutions is well positioned to achieve its forecast organic growth while it continues to investigate diversification opportunities.

JCurve Solutions Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of half-year report
The consolidated half year financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2017 and any public announcements made by JCurve Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
As outlined in the 30 June 2017 Annual Financial Report, the Group has elected to early adopt AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board from 1 July 2016 under the full retrospective approach. In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15 the new rules have been adopted retrospectively and comparatives for the 2016 half year financial results have been restated. Refer to note 19 for further details of the impact of the new accounting standard on the comparative financial results.
All other accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.
Significant accounting judgments and key estimates
The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Following an increase in taxable temporary differences during 1HY2018 and periods of forecast sustained taxable profit following the investment in our employees, the Company during 1HY2018 has recognised carried forward tax losses in the financial results presented in this half year report. Refer to note 4 for further details on the effect of recognising the carried forward tax losses.
With the exception of the recognition of carried forward tax losses, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2017.
New and amended standards adopted by the group
For the half-year ended 31 December 2017, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2017.
It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s business for the first time during the 6 months ending 31 December 2017 and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2018 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.
The Group has assessed that while there may be an impact on the measurement of the allowance for doubtful debts, this impact is expected to be immaterial to the overall financial statements.
AASB 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. The Group will adopt the new standard from 1 July 2018.
11
JCurve Solutions Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
(ii) AASB 16 Leases
The Australian Accounting Standards Board has issued AASB 16 which will replace AASB 117 Leases and a number of interpretations. AASB 16 will provide a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors.
The new standard will have three possible main changes on the Group’s accounting for leases:
-
Enhanced guidance on identifying whether a contract contains a lease;
-
A completely new leases accounting model for lessees that require lessees to recognise all leases on balance sheet except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets; and
-
Enhanced financial statement disclosures.
Lessor accounting will not significantly change under AASB 16.
Management is currently assessing the effects of applying the new standard on the Group’s financial statements. There may be an impact on the Group’s current property leases. At this stage, the Group is not able to estimate what the effect on the Group’s financial statements apart from there being a requirement for additional disclosures. The Group will make more detailed assessments of the effect over the next twelve months. AASB 16 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. The Group does not expect to adopt the new standard before 1 July 2019.

NOTE 2: SEGMENT REPORTING
(a) Description of segments
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the Group that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance.
JCurve Solutions sells a portfolio of solutions and derives its revenues and profits from a variety of sources. The Group’s chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors and Executive Management Team as outlined in the 30 June 2017 annual financial report.
The Board and Executive Management Team for the half year ending 31 December 2017, considered the business from a product perspective and identified two reportable segments:
-
ERP - ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services; and
-
TEMS - The development and marketing of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions (JTEL and Full Circle Group).
Unallocated – the development business unit and group/head office are cost centres and are not reportable operating segments. The results of these operations are included in ‘all other segments’.
The Group operates in one geographical segment being Australia and New Zealand.
(b) Segment information provided to the chief operating decision maker
The segment information provided to the strategic steering committee for the reportable segments for the half-year ended 31 December 2017 (including the comparative period) is as follows:

Following a significant increase in the recruitment of employees in areas of the business which will make and deliver sales and an expansion of products being sold, the Group has assessed that it is now probable that future tax profits will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits thereof. This followed an increase in taxable temporary differences recognised during 1HY2018 and has resulted in the Group recognising carried forward tax losses in the financial results presented in this half year report. Such carried forward tax losses (1,563,791) were previously unrecognised in the 30 June 2017 Annual Report have been recognised for the half year period ended 31 December 2017.

The licenses sub account balance is the recoverable amount of the amount paid for the purchase of the exclusive reseller agreement with NetSuite for the JCurve ERP edition of the NetSuite software. This Agreement with NetSuite provides JCurve Solutions with the exclusive selling rights for the JCurve ERP edition of the NetSuite business software for an indefinite period. The NetSuite 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. On the basis of current trends, where revenue from the sale of the JCurve ERP edition software is increasing year on year, and this trend is forecast to continue, it is unlikely that there will be impairment in future periods.

Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of JCurve Solutions Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear then ended, and notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Directors’ responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
