JCurve Solutions Limited
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as “Jcurve”) consisting of JCurve Solutions Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2023.
Directors
The names of directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year and until the date of this report are as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.
Mark Jobling Non-Executive Chairman Bruce Hatchman Non-Executive Director (resigned: 22 November 2023) Robert Wright Non-Executive Director (appointed: 22 November 2023) Graham Baillie Non-Executive Director Martin Green Non-Executive Director David Franks Company Secretary
Principal Activity
During the half year, the continuing principal activity of Jcurve consisted of:
-
1) the sale, implementation and support of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions, which consisted of: (i) the exclusively licensed small business edition of Oracle NetSuite, JCurveERP (in Australia and New Zealand);
-
(ii) the Oracle NetSuite mid-market and enterprise editions (in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia);
-
2) the sale and support of proprietary Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions;
-
3) the continued development of Quicta, the Group’s proprietary owned Service Management Platform including the sale and support of the platform to paying customers;
-
4) the sale of digital marketing services.
Review of Operations
The first half of FY24 has been a period of significant transformation and recalibration for Jcurve. As we navigate through a challenging business environment, our interim financial results reflect the impacts of strategic decisions to the Group’s operations.
Revenue for the first half stands at $6,581,291, marking a 16% decrease from 1HY23’s $7,777,312, primarily due to top line revenue pressures. A normalised EBITDA loss of $612,060, substantially affected by one-off expense items, such as dual CEO salaries and redundancy costs, contrasting with a prior profit.
Performance obligations being contract liabilities (unearned income), decreased by 21% to $2,783,617, due to changes in customer contracts and revenue recognition timing.
Cash reserves at $1,554,866, influenced by one-off payments and dividend distributions, among other factors, yet maintaining adequate funding with an undrawn bank facility. An impairment of our Asian operations of $264,987 was also recognised, reflecting a non-cash adjustment not indicative of our confidence in these markets.
Strategic Review and Operational Priorities
Post the leadership change, CEO Christopher King initiated a comprehensive strategic review, directing the 'Let's Grow' transformation program with a clear focus on profitability and cash flow.
-
Profitability: Actions taken during 1HY24, including a reduction in headcount and operating expenses, have generated annualised savings of over $1.0M. These measures, while affecting short-term results, aim to improve EBITDA moving forward.
-
Customer Centric Go-to-Market : Investment in senior sales and country leadership roles and a shift towards a customer-centric operating model are expected to bolster Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth and enhance customer partnerships.

JCurve Solutions Limited
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
-
Optimise Revenue Mix : The transition to an ARR-focused business model and changes in contract terms have temporarily reduced revenues. However, the Quicta division and Expense Management sales are aligning with expectations, with the latter poised for future opportunities following a platform upgrade.
-
Portfolio Optimisation : Divestment of non-core operations like the Dygiq marketing services business and a focus on products and services that meet gross margin targets are key to our strategy for free cash flow.
-
Asia Acceleration : Efforts to strengthen the sales pipeline in Thailand and rebuild the Singapore market under new leadership are underway, with anticipation of performance improvement in the latter half of the year.
Concluding Remarks
The 1HY24 results have been below expectations, but they mark a period of strategic repositioning aimed at establishing a stronger and more profitable Jcurve. The Board and management team are committed to this strategic realignment, with confidence in stronger sales and operational performance in the upcoming periods.
Looking Forward
As we progress into 2HY24, our priorities remain clear: driving profitability, enhancing customer engagement, optimising our revenue mix, and ensuring our operational model is lean and focused on delivering sustainable growth. We are poised to build upon the solid foundations laid in the first half, with a resolute commitment to our transformation program, ‘Let’s Grow’.
The underlying normalised EBITDA loss for the half year period ended 31 December 2023 was $612,052 (2022: $419,189), which has been determined as follows:
| Statutory loss after income tax for the half year period Add back: non-cash expenses Depreciation and amortisation Impairment charge Share based payment expense Total non-cash expenses Income tax expense Interest income Finance costs Due diligence costs Dual CEO costs Redundancy costs Government Subsidy - Singapore Normalised underlying EBITDA for the half year period |

Normalised underlying EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and represents the profit under AAS adjusted for specific items. The table above reconciles key items between the statutory loss after tax and normalised underlying EBITDA. The directors use normalised underlying EBITDA to assess the performance of Jcurve.
Normalised underlying EBITDA has not been subject to any specific review procedures by our auditor but has been extracted from the accompanying auditor reviewed financial report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation of half-year report
The general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 has 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 Jcurve 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 2023 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 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.
(b) 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.
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 half year of $1,804,991 (31 December 2022: loss after tax of $420,587) and incurred operating cash outflows of $1,884,504 (31 December 2022: cash outflows of $569,539). The Group has positive cash balances of $1,554,866 (30 June 2023: $4,265,288). During the half year the Group secured a bank loan facility of $500,000, which was undrawn at the half year end.
The directors have performed an assessment of the Group’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 both prior to the half year end and subsequent to the half year end. The cash flow forecast also reflects the achievement of new business and revenue targets sufficient to achieve an increase in commissions over 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.
Other significant judgements
Other significant judgments made by management in applying Jcurve’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 2023. They include:
-
Revenue recognition – Identification and satisfaction of performance obligations;
-
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets;
-
Impairment of goodwill;
-
Expected credit loss; and
-
Recoverability of deferred tax assets.
(c) New and amended standards adopted by Jcurve
The Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised accounting standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board for annual reporting periods beginning or after 1 July 2023. The Directors have concluded that there is no impact, material or otherwise for Jcurve from these new and revised accounting standards and interpretations.

NOTE 2: SEGMENT REPORTING
(a) Accounting policy
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors and Executive Management Team of Jcurve Solutions.
(b) Description of segments
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of Jcurve that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance.
Jcurve 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 2023, considered the business from a product perspective and identified five reportable segments:
-
ANZ ERP: ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services sold to Australian and New Zealand customers; and
-
Asia ERP: ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services sold to South East Asian customers;
-
TEMS – The development and marketing of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions (JTEL, Full Circle and Phoneware) sold to Australian customers; and
-
Quicta – The development and sale of service management and scheduling software
-
Dygiq – Providing digital marketing services
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.
Jcurve operates in two geographical segments being Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) along with South East Asia. Jcurve reports internally on the assets and liabilities of Jcurve on a consolidated basis.
The revenue in the ANZ ERP and Asia ERP segments are derived pursuant to Jcurve’s partnership agreements with Oracle NetSuite.
(c) Segment information provided to the chief operating decision maker
The segment information provided to the Board and the Executive Management Team for the reportable segments for the six month period ended 31 December 2023 (including the comparative period) is as follows:

NOTE 18: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Subsidary Company Directors
During the half-year ended 31 December 2023, legal fees were paid to Calimag Law Office, a firm run by one of the JCurve Solutions Philippines Inc. Directors, Erinne Ann B. Calimag. The legal fees include a monthly retainer of PHP20,000 per month and other legal work charged on normal commercial terms and conditions. Jcurve was invoiced PHP794,555 (A$21,587) during the half year for the Philippines companies legal work for the period July 2023 to December 2023 (31 December 2022: PHP358,048 and A$9,455).
NOTE 19: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 15 January 2024, the Company signed an agreement to divest its Dygiq marketing services business to the original founder of the business, with the transfer to follow completion of certain conditions detailed in the agreement. The transaction was completed on 31 January 2024.
Although a nominal amount will be paid to the Company (PHP35), net liabilities of approximately $40,000 will be released from the Company’s balance sheet as part of the divestment and the purchaser will take over the management of any outstanding contracts and operational costs. A small impairment write down of $27,000 will be made to the accounts of Jcurve at closing of the transfer.
After the close of the reporting period, the Company announced a strategic restructuring plan aimed at optimising our operational efficiency and aligning our workforce with current business needs. This plan includes the difficult decision to make some positions redundant. These actions are not taken lightly and reflect our commitment to long-term sustainability and shareholder value.
The restructuring is anticipated to result in annualised savings of approximately $1 million, contributing to our financial resilience and ability to invest in key areas for growth. The full implementation of these changes will occur subsequent to the reporting period and has been carefully considered to ensure minimal disruption to our operations and customer service. The company has engaged in thorough planning and provision for the associated costs of this restructuring, including severance and related expenses, which will be reflected in the financial statements for the next reporting period.

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 2023, 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 half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant 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 accompanying half-year financial report of Group’s does not comply with the Corporation Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the half-year Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Responsibility of the Directors 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the half-year Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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.
