Review of Operations

The Executive Management team and Board throughout the half year ended 31 December 2018, continued to focus on our three previously stated strategic objectives:

1) Investing to grow the ERP business

The investment which was undertaken over the past 12 to 18 months in our ERP team and internal capabilities has not at this stage translated into the statutory financial success at the rates we were forecasting. The shift in the sales mix of our ERP Division towards the larger more complex NetSuite solutions has continued at pace which saw a number of new sale opportunities which were forecast to close in 1HY2019 be delayed. The consequence of the shift in product mix is a higher initial average deal size and stronger future revenue potential from reduced customer churn and increased consulting opportunities, but a longer initial sales and project delivery cycle resulting in delayed recognition of revenue and profit. In line with the seasonality of the ERP business experienced in prior years, the Company expects a strong 2HY2019 ERP sales result achieved from increasing new business sales, the contract profile of the Company’s recurring revenue base and an increasing number of customer implementations being completed in preparation for the start of the new financial year.

Despite the lower than expected half year result, the ERP division (exclusive of MYOB Advanced revenue) grew by 11% after recognising $3.9m of revenue, which is a significant increase from the $3.5m in 1HY2018. Sales to existing customers being renewal income and upsell income increased by 14% while sales to existing customers grew by 5% comparing the 1HY2019 sales result with the 1HY2018 sales results. The ERP division’s deferred revenue balance increased by 24% between 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 reflecting the change in product mix. The profit before tax for the ERP division for 1HY2019 was $449,605 (1HY2018: $237,518).

The Company remains committed to growing our ERP division and continuing as NetSuite’s largest solution partner globally by number of customers managed and was recently awarded NetSuite’s ANZ new business partner of the year 2018.

2) Maximising value from the TEMS business

Our Telecommunications Expense Management (TEMS) product division achieved a better than expected financial result during the half year, through decreasing customer churn. For the half year period ended 31 December 2018 we were able to recognise $1.2 million of revenue from our TEMS solutions which was an 21% decrease on the revenue recognised in 1HY2018.

The profit before tax for the TEMS division was $639,440 (1HY2018: $914,130). JCurve Solutions remains committed to the ongoing maximisation of value from our TEMS proprietary owned solutions which remains a profitable part of the Group.

3) Diversification by leveraging our core strengths and capabilities

The Management Team and Board during the six months ended 31 December 2018, investigated a number of acquisition opportunities in both the Australasian and Asian markets. In December 2018 the Group was successful in completing the purchase of the business and assets of the Spectrum Partner Group, a NetSuite Two-Star Solution Provider based in Singapore. The purchase of Spectrum business and assets provides JCurve Solutions with a launch pad for further expansion into the growing ERP Asian market. In addition to a small number of customer contracts and committed license and service revenue. Arthur Fernandez who was the founder and Director of Spectrum for four years, was appointed as the General Manager of JCS’ Asian operations. The Completion purchase payment of S$300,000 was settled in cash out of JCS’ existing cash reserves in December while a further deferred earn-out cash payment component payable is payable in August 2019.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

The integration of the Spectrum Partner Group (Spectrum), acquired in December 2018, into JCS Asia’s business operations, is progressing in line with our strategic plan and a number of new customer opportunities are forecast to close throughout 2HY2019.

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

Summarised financial result and position

Revenue for the half year period ended 31 December 2018 increased by 3%, from $5.0m in the corresponding comparative period to $5.2m in the half year reporting period ended 31 December 2018. The focus of the ERP business has been to expand JCurve Solutions capabilities to sell and service the NetSuite 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 our telecommunication expense management customers.

The Group recognised a net loss before tax of $219,635 for the half year period ended 31 December 2018 (2017: $161,864 loss).

The ‘Normalised EBITDA’ loss for the half year period ended 31 December 2018 was $117,980 (2017: $125,730 loss), which has been determined as follows:

Statutory (loss)/profit after income tax for the half year period

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.

Net cash outflows from operating activities for the 6-month period ended 31 December 2018 totalled $0.9m. The Company’s income profile is seasonal and heavily weighted towards the second half of each financial year, with 60% of sales made in 2HY2018. At 31 December 2018, the Group held cash reserves of $3.3m, whilst remaining debt free, providing the opportunity for both further organic growth and growth by acquisition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

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 2018 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.

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

With the exception of the change in some prior period comparatives and the changes disclosed below, 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 the acquisition of Spectrum, new key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

  • 1) The useful life of the NetSuite customer contracts acquired which has been assessed as 2.5 years;

  • 2) The useful life of the customer relationships acquired which has been assessed as 2.5 years;

  • 3) The estimated contingent consideration payable as the deferred payment for the Spectrum which was estimated as S$300,000 (A$311,333).

Other 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 2018. They include:

  • (1) Revenue recognition - Identification of performance obligations;

  • (2) Revenue recognition - Satisfaction of performance obligations;

  • (3) Impairment of intangibles with indefinite useful lives;

  • (4) Useful life of the Riyo Platform;

  • (5) Share-based payment transactions;

  • (6) Recovery of deferred tax assets; and

  • (7) Recognition of subscription costs of sales.

New and amended standards adopted by the group

For the half-year ended 31 December 2018, 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 2018.

(1) AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010), AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [Part E Financial Instruments] and AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9.

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. AASB 9 has been adopted by the Group from 1 July 2018.

The impact on the Group’s financial reporting is restricted to the new impairment model for financial assets. AASB 9 replaces the incurred loss model in AASB 139 with an expected credit loss (ECL) model. The new impairment model is applied to financial assets measured at amortised cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI. Under AASB 9, loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases:

  • (1) 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

  • (2) Lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

11

JCurve Solutions Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

ECLs are a probability weighted estimates of credit losses which are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls. The impact from adopting AASB 9 during the half year ended 31 December 2018 was an additional expense of $6,396 from assessing the lifetime expected credit losses based on the history of past bad debts written off the Group after considering a provision matrix which grouped debtors into product lines. The Group has not retrospectively adjusted the prior period comparative balances or opening balances on adoption of AASB 9.

New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations that have been published but are not mandatory for the 31 December 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.

(1) AASB 16 Leases

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

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

  • (1) Enhanced guidance on identifying whether a contract contains a lease;

  • (2) 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

  • (3) Enhanced financial statement disclosures.

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

Lessor accounting will not significantly change under AASB 16.

AASB 16 will impact the Group’s operating leases for which the Group currently has five non-cancellable operating leases. At this stage, the Group has not made an estimate as to what the financial effect of adopting AASB 16 will be on the Group’s financial statements apart from the requirement for additional disclosures and potential recognition of right of use assets and the related liabilities for all leases. The Group will make more detailed assessments of the effect over the next six months. AASB 16 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. The Group is required to adopt the new standard from 1 July 2019 unless the standard is early adopted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

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 Board and Executive Management Team for the half year ended 31 December 2018, considered the business from a product perspective and identified four reportable segments:

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

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

  • TEMS - the sale of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions (JTEL and Full Circle Group);

  • Riyo – the development and commercialization of the Riyo Platform

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

Following the acquisition of Spectrum, the Group now operates in two geographical segments being Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) along with SE Asia. However, with the acquisition of Spectrum being on the 17[th] of December 2018, the SE Asia geographical segment was not reported in the December management accounts provided to the Board and Executive Management Team.

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

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

(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 2018 (including the comparative period) is as follows:

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

NOTE 16: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of the Spectrum Partner Group

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

The purchase price is to be paid across a completion payment of S$300,000 (paid on the 13/12/2018) and a deferred payment in August 2019 based on the level of income generated by the Singapore business for the year ending 31 March 2019 plus qualifying opportunities for the following three months to 30 June 2019. Based on the latest available forecasts obtained pre-acquisition as part of the due diligence phase, the Group has estimated the deferred payment to be S$300,000 (A$311,333).

Acquisition related costs of $17,252 were included in due diligence costs in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the half year ended 31 December 2018.

The Group has, due to the timing of the acquisition, provisionally recognised the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired as part of the acquisition based upon the information available as of the reporting date. The final fair values acquired as part of the acquisition will be recognised in the 30 June 2019 Annual Report. The provisional business combination accounting is as follows:

NetSuite customer contracts
Customer relationships
Sundry debtors
Fair value of identifiable net assets
Goodwill arising on acquisition
Total consideration
Fair value at
acquisition date

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

Net cash outflow arising on acquisition

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

The acquisition of Spectrum affected the consolidated half year result as follows:

Less: expenses
Loss before tax

1,698
(1,698)

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

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

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

NOTE 17: GOING CONCERN

The Group generated an after tax loss for the period of $208,945 (31 December 2017: $393,427 profit). At the balance date, the Group had cash assets of $3,258,206 (30 June 2018: $4,487,536) and a positive working capital position of $1,550,392 (30 June 2018: $2,266,238). The working capital of $1,550,392 includes current unearned income of $2,789,984 and current deferred expenditure of $139,491 (30 June 2018: $2,720,858 and $166,566).

Whilst the recognition of unearned income and deferred expenditure acknowledges there are future obligations in terms of services to be provided this does not represent a future cash outlay with the payments made upfront from both the customer and to NetSuite being non-refundable and recognised in accordance with the accounting standards. The Group has prepared cashflow forecasts based on expected future cash inflows and expected future cash outlays and, on the basis of these cash forecasts, and with reference to the cashflow statement incorporated into these financial Statements, in the opinion of the Directors, the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

NOTE 18: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

No matters or circumstances have arisen since 31 December 2018 that significantly affect, or may significantly affect:

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

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

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of JCurve Solutions Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of JCurve Solutions Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 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 2018 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 2018 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.

BDO East Coast Partnership ABN 83 236 985 726 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO East Coast Partnership and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation, other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees.

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

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
