ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

It has been a big year for iCollege, a successful one and one that gives me great confidence for the future.

When I started in the role of Chairman in October 2017, I found a company with good bones but facing a number of serious challenges. With the support of my board, a hard working and loyal executive and dedicated staff we have been able to make the necessary structural changes to the organisation that was needed to drive the company to being a high quality and efficient vocational education destination of choice.

This would not have been possible though without the support of key stakeholders in the business. We are extremely lucky to have shareholders who have not only seen the vision for iCollege and the opportunity we have before us, but are supportive in many other ways. To you, our shareholders, I say thank you. Similarly, we have received tremendous support from our suppliers, our 130 agents, our broker network and professional service providers. We hope that the efforts that we have gone to in the last 12 months vindicates the humbling support that we have been the recipient of.

We have worked hard on increasing the lines of communication and hopefully you have seen significant improvement in that area. You will have seen from the various ASX announcements that we have taken significant steps to grow iCollege during 2017/18 financial year, delivering quarter on quarter gains in revenue while working hard to reign in expenditure and better manage ongoing costs.

In February 2018, the board and executive of iCollege held a two-day strategic planning session. As a result of this, iCollege determined the following short-term priorities:

  • Ensuring financially responsible decisions are made for the company;

  • Pursue vertical integration, providing control of supply chain and educational outcomes;

  • Deliver training using up to date and relevant delivery methods;

  • Develop appropriate government and industry relationships; and

  • Increase on-shore demand through international delivery.

The outcome of the strategic planning weekend gave the board and executive a level of direction and focus that it had not experienced previously. Each decision that iCollege makes must now be consistent with, and promote these priorities and you would have seen that in the language used in the various ASX announcements made.

Some of the more exciting activities undertaken by the company to give effect to these priorities include the commencement of iStudy Australia (India), which is focused on the delivery of international students who wish to study in Australia; acceptance of iCollege as a sponsor under the 407 training visa subclass; and the formalisation of our joint venture with Birla in India where we are now establishing the first campus located in New Delhi which will become a centre of excellence for our hospitality courses.

The infrastructure needed to drive significant growth of iCollege is nearly in place. The challenge for the board and executive over the next 12 months will be to execute on its plans – drive an increase in enrolments and consequently gains in revenue, work hard to reign in expenditure and to make a company that we can all be proud to be a part of. I look forward to being able to share with you all of our planned successes throughout 2018/19.

Thank you again for your ongoing support, it is greatly appreciated.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

iCollege Limited comprises of seven businesses which deliver accredited and non-accredited vocational education and training solutions throughout Australia and internationally. iCollege currently has five registered training organisations (RTO’s) based in Australia, an internationally recognised training provider based in Singapore and an international student recruitment agency, with offices opening in India, Malaysia and China, by December 2018.

The iCollege training scope assists people looking to develop essential skills and knowledge required to gain employment or advance their careers across a range of industry sectors including construction, nursing, disability, hospitality, business, English language and health & fitness.

iCollege is approved to train both domestic and international students throughout Australia. iCollege currently provides training to a range of existing workers, job seekers and school leavers throughout our seven campuses in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.

Our mission is to give students a flexible and more engaging learning experience. Quite simply iCollege provides the pathway for individuals to realise success in their chosen field.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Company recorded a loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 of $4,415,875(2017: $3,268,758).

The 2017/18 FY saw iCollege engage with Manthano Limited with the first half of the year dedicated to an in-depth due diligence program leading to the acquisition of Manthano in February 2018. The second half of the year saw the integration of Manthano assets into the broader iCollege Group. This integration process unearthed several significant growth opportunities and has set a solid foundation for iCollege to continue to capitalise on the growth and solid revenue numbers reported in Q3 and Q4. 2017/18 has seen the restructure of the iCollege board with the new members highlighting the following midterm strategic objectives which have been strictly adhered to by the executive:

  • Ensuring financially responsible decisions are made for the company;

  • Pursue vertical integration, providing control of supply chain and educational outcomes;

  • Deliver training using up to date and relevant delivery methods;

  • Develop appropriate Government and industry relationships; and

  • Increasing on-shore demand through international delivery.

The following initiatives have been announced to the market and are progressing to the point where they provide additional revenue streams or cost savings to the business:

  • ➢ In February 2018 the Manthano acquisition was completed in line with all terms outlined in the share sale agreement, this acquisition included two additional Registered Training Organisations and one internationally accredited Oil and Gas specialist training business.

  • ➢ In April 2018 the company replaced an existing convertible note allocating the instrument to a sophisticated investor on improved commercial terms.

  • ➢ iCollege signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Birla Edutech (a large Indian listed organisation) for the establishment of a Hospitality Centre of Excellence and additional vocational training opportunities, In August 2018 this agreement was finalised with the signing of a binding Joint Venture Agreement. The initial centre will be based in New Delhi with additional opportunities being investigated.

  • ➢ In line with “increasing on-shore demand through international delivery” iCollege signed a binding HOA to establish iStudy Australia (India), an international student recruitment arm designed to begin the vertical integration of student acquisition lessening the burden of commissions paid to third party agents. iCollege is now in the process of expanding Indian operations and looking to establish iStudy Australia offices in China.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW - CONTINUED

  • ➢ iCollege welcomed Mr. Badri Gosavi into the business as an Executive Director and full time CFO. Badri brings with him significant experience and has already streamlined the accounting functions of all operating entities.

  • ➢ May 2018 saw iCollege successfully apply to the Department of Home Affairs as a sponsor organisation under the 407 Visa subclass. This allows iCollege to provide structured training plans and instruction to suitable overseas graduates and professionals allowing them to complete 16– 24 months on the job training programs.

  • ➢ In June 2018 iCollege (through Sero Institute) applied for and was granted an increase in its existing CRICOS places. This increase saw the number of places increased from 450 to 1450 and included the addition of a Perth Campus which will become active in September 2018.

  • ➢ Finally, iCollege successfully completed a share placement to sophisticated investors in July 2018. This placement was oversubscribed and saw the company raised over $2,000,000 after costs seeing the company well-funded and, in the position, to aggressively pursue growth initiatives.

  • ➢ Importantly the last quarter of 2017/18 saw iCollege report the highest ever quarterly revenue achieved by the business. The board of iCollege expect this trend to continue and are confident of reporting growth quarter on quarter during the 2018/19 FY.

Under the guidance of the new CFO the company continued to focus on the provision of critical services through a shared services model located at the Gold Coast Campus. The shared services division includes commercial, financial and an extremely robust compliance team. This model has been extremely successful in minimising expenditure and continuing to better manage ongoing costs.

iCollege has expanded its physical campus footprint with current CRICOS accredited campuses at Queen Street Brisbane, North Quay Brisbane, Mt. Gravatt Brisbane and Maylands WA, these campuses currently have the capacity to house 1800 international students. Additional campuses focusing specifically on domestic education are in Canberra, Botany NSW, Adelaide SA and Kedron Brisbane. iCollege now boasts significant skills offering including: Individual Care (Aged and Disability), Building and Construction, Business, Leadership and Management, Hospitality and Commercial Cookery. Most Training packages delivered by the business are offered from Certificate II through to Advanced Diploma catering to participants who come from varied levels of experience and existing education. During 2018/19 the company will rationalise the existing physical infrastructure seeing many of the companies sharing classrooms and resources and offering all course content at each individual campus.

The iCollege board and executive has worked diligently to form a strong base of operations with revenue currently split evenly between international students and domestic offerings. A strong and increasing revenue base as demonstrated by the quarter on quarter growth in the latter half of 2017/18 places iCollege in an excellent position from which to leverage all existing and future growth initiatives.

As a company we are excited to continue to execute on the projects that have begun during this financial year and look forward to sharing many new and profitable enterprises planned for the coming financial year. We will, at the same time, continue to focus on the short-term strategic goals designed to ensure the greatest possible returns to our valued shareholders.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Likely developments in the operations of the Consolidated Entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the company.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW - CONTINUED

FINANCIAL POSITION

The Company recorded a loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 of $4,415,875 (2017: $3,268,758).

The net assets of the Consolidated Entity were $9,735,633 (2017: $2,767,091 deficiency).

The Consolidated Entity’s working capital deficiency, being current assets less current liabilities was $5,157,693 (2017: $2,800,936 deficiency).

On 12 February 2018, the company completed the acquisition of Manthano Limited. As part of the terms $1,000,000 in cash was acquired at acquisition date. From this amount creditors were paid down and the last deferred cash consideration payment was completed on the acquisition of Celtic Training and Consultancy Pty Ltd of $250,000 and 5,000,000 ordinary shares valued at $430,000.

At the time the Appendix 4E Preliminary Final Results were published, the audit had not started. As a result there have been a number of adjustments made that have increased the loss result from $3,281,246 to $4,415,875. Adjustments included mainly accrual cost adjustments of approximately $300,000, unearned revenue adjustments of $369,388 and a $338,750 amount previously recognised as goodwill as a result of a deferred payment on the acquisition of Celtic Training & Consultancy, that had to be reversed and recognised as an acquisition cost under Australian Accounting Standards AASB 3 where additional goodwill is unable to be recognised once the measurement period has finished.

DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED

No amounts have been paid or declared by way of dividends by the Company since the end of the previous financial period and up until the date of this report. The directors do not recommend the payment of any dividend for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE YEAR

On 10 August 2017, Walker Enterprises (Australia) Pty Ltd (Walker) filed a Commercial List Statement in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Equity Division) seeking payment of the sum of $9,000,000. On 2 February 2018, Walker filed a Notice of Motion seeking the Court's leave to file an Amended Commercial List Statement which reduces the quantum of the claim from $9 million to $3,520,822. Leave to reduce that claim was provided by the Court on 9 February 2018.

Walker seeks recovery of the balance sale price alleged to be payable under a share sale agreement (SSA) for the acquisition by iCollege of 100% of the capital of certain MIA companies (Walker subsidiaries). These MIA Companies were subsequently placed into litigation by iCollege following completion of the transaction.

iCollege has defended the proceeding and filed an amended Commercial List Response. iCollege's defence asserts misrepresentations by Walker, breaches of certain obligations under SSA and inaccurate warranties in the SSA rendering each of the MIA companies of no value.

In addition, iCollege has claimed by way of set-off and cross claim, orders permitting iCollege to cancel the shares issued by iCollege in the name of Walker's nominee, being shares issued as part of the purchase consideration and an Order that Walker pay iCollege $1 million, being cash paid to Walker pursuant to the SSA.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

DIRECTORS REPORT

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE YEAR (CONTINUED)

In the alternative, iCollege seeks an Order that Walker pay to iCollege the sum of $2 million, being the return of the cash component paid by iCollege and the value of the shares issued by iCollege to Walker pursuant to the SSA.

On 8 December 2017, the Court ordered Walker to provide security for iCollege's costs of the proceeding against it (excluding costs attributable solely to iCollege's cross claim). The amount to be paid by Walker by way of security was determined on Friday, 9 February 2018 in the sum of $231,000. Walker has paid those costs into court. Walker made an application to have iCollege provide security for his costs. That application was ultimately abandoned by Walker.

Each of the parties have now filed their lay evidence on which they intend to rely at trial. Walker has filed his expert evidence and iCollege is due to file and serve its expert evidence in response shortly.

The matter has been listed for trial for 10 days commencing 12 November 2018 with a mediation scheduled to take place on 10 October 2018.

On 3 July 2018, the company completed a share placement to sophisticated investors to raise $2.2M before costs. The placement was completed at $0.05 per share. Funds raised were to be used for the expansion of iStudy Australia operations into India and proposed expansion into China, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. The reconfiguration of local campuses to increase CRICOS allocations and redevelopment and re-accreditation of nursing and aged care qualifications.

Repayment was completed in full of $150,000 in convertible notes and $125,000 of short term loans.

No other matters or circumstances has arisen since 30 June 2018 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity, in subsequent financial years.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

On 10 August 2017, Walker Enterprises (Australia) Pty Ltd (Walker) filed a Commercial List Statement in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Equity Division) seeking payment of the sum of $9,000,000. On 2 February 2018, Walker filed a Notice of Motion seeking the Court's leave to file an Amended Commercial List Statement which reduces the quantum of the claim from $9 million to $3,520,822. Leave to reduce that claim was provided by the Court on 9 February 2018.

Walker seeks recovery of the balance sale price alleged to be payable under a share sale agreement (SSA) for the acquisition by iCollege of 100% of the capital of certain MIA companies (Walker subsidiaries). These MIA Companies were subsequently placed into litigation by iCollege following completion of the transaction.

iCollege has defended the proceeding and filed an amended Commercial List Response. iCollege's defence asserts misrepresentations by Walker, breaches of certain obligations under SSA and inaccurate warranties in the SSA rendering each of the MIA companies of no value.

In addition, iCollege has claimed by way of set-off and cross claim, orders permitting iCollege to cancel the shares issued by iCollege in the name of Walker's nominee, being shares issued as part of the purchase consideration and an Order that Walker pay iCollege $1 million, being cash paid to Walker pursuant to the SSA. In the alternative, iCollege seeks an Order that Walker pay to iCollege the sum of $2 million, being the return of the cash component paid by iCollege and the value of the shares issued by iCollege to Walker pursuant to the SSA.

On 8 December 2017, the Court ordered Walker to provide security for iCollege's costs of the proceeding against it (excluding costs attributable solely to iCollege's cross claim). The amount to be paid by Walker by way of security was determined on Friday, 9 February 2018 in the sum of $231,000. Walker has paid those costs into court. Walker made an application to have iCollege provide security for his costs. That application was ultimately abandoned by Walker.

Each of the parties have now filed their lay evidence on which they intend to rely at trial. Walker has filed his expert evidence and iCollege is due to file and serve its expert evidence in response shortly.

The matter has been listed for trial for 10 days commencing 12 November 2018 with a mediation scheduled to take place on 10 October 2018.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the year non-audit services totalling nil in relation to non-audit services were provided by associated entities of Bentleys Audit and Corporate (WA) Pty Ltd (2017: Nil).

The Directors may engage auditors for non-audit services.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of future non-audit services, by the auditor (or by CA300(11 B)(b).(c) another person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 and will not, in the opinion of the Directors, compromise the external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

• all non-audit services will be reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor, and

• none of the services will undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES CA300(11B)(c) 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Refer to Note 20 to the financial statements for details of fees paid / payable to the auditor of the Company.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report covers iCollege Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of iCollege Limited and the entities it controlled during the year. iCollege Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the Corporate Directory of the annual report. The consolidated entity is a for profit entity.

(i) Basis of Accounting

This general purpose financial report for the year ended 30 June 2018 has been prepared in accordance with Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

This financial report has been prepared in accordance with the historical costs convention. The functional currency and presentation currency of iCollege Limited is Australian dollars.

(ii) Statement of Compliance

This financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB).

(iii) Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Consolidated Entity recorded a loss after tax for the year of $4,415,875 (2017: $3,268,758 Loss). The net asset surplus/deficiency of the Consolidated Entity was $9,735,633 surplus (2017:$2,767,091 deficiency). The Consolidated Entity’s working capital deficiency, being current assets less current liabilities was $5,157,693 in 2018 (2017: $2,800,936). Included in this working capital deficiency is deferred consideration payable of $1,500,000 to the vendor of MIA (refer Note 11, 18). The board has taken the view that additional payments to the vendor are not justifiable given the inconsistencies discovered and will seek court judgment to cancel the liabilities including the shares currently held in escrow.

Subsequent to 30 June 2018, the Consolidated Entity issued of 44,000,000 shares with an issue price of $0.05 per share to raise $2,200,000 before costs for working capital purposes.

The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the following:

  • Forecasted profitability of the companies within the Consolidated Entity including increasing the service offerings provided and expanding its geographical foot print;

  • Directors Loan provided to Consolidated Entity will not be called upon until the company has sufficient cash flows and it is the intention to convert the loans into ordinary shares

  • The continued support of the Consolidated Entity’s creditors. At the date of the report there were no outstanding statutory demands made against the company;

  • the successful defence of the claims made against the Company as disclosed in note 18;

  • the ability of the Consolidated Entity to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets for working capital; and

  • • The remaining convertible notes will converted into shares and or look to be refinanced with new convertible notes; and

  • Managing cash flows in line with available funds.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern. In the event the above matters are not achieved, the Consolidated Entity will be required to raise funds for working capital from debt or equity sources.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report.

Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Consolidated Entity’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Consolidated Entity’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.

Should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

(iv) Adoption of New and Revised Standards

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the group during the financial year.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).

AASB 16 removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for the lessee effectively treating all leases as finance leases. Short term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of a low value are exempt from the lease accounting requirements. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Consolidated Entity has a number of leases for its training facilities and therefore there will be an impact. The Consolidated Entity is assessing the impact of this standard.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income (OCI).

For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures.

The Consolidated Entity ’s financial instruments consist of cash, debtors, investments other debtors and payable as disclosed in Note 21 (Financial Instruments) This standard is expected to have an impact on the Consolidated Entity financial report. The Consolidated Entity is assessing the impact of this standard.

AASB 15: Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018)

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The standard provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue.

For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.

The Consolidated Entity is currently assessing the impact of this standard.

(v) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Significant accounting judgments

In the process of applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The 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 year are:

Impairment of assets

In determining the recoverable amount of assets, in the absence of quoted market prices, estimations are made regarding the present value of future cash flows using asset-specific discount rates and the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Useful life of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date they are available for use.

Recoverability of trade and other receivables

The Consolidated Entity assesses the likelihood of any impairment of the Consolidated Entity’s receivables at each reporting date by evaluating those payments that are in arrears and making a judgement as to the likelihood of that receivable not being paid passed on all knowledge available of the debtor.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

(vi) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by iCollege Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which iCollege Limited has the power to direct the relevant activities of the entity and has exposure to variable returns. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to direct the relevant activities, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 10 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Business Combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (ie: parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer. Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement.

Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Trade and other receivables

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less allowance for doubtful debts. Current receivables for GST are due for settlement within 30 days and other current receivables within 12 months. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost.

Share-based payment transactions

The Consolidated Entity may provide benefits to employees (including directors) and consultants of the Consolidated Entity in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby services are rendered in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’).

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

29

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods.

The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:

  • during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the expired portion of the vesting period

  • from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the reporting date

All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to settle the liability.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated as if they were a modification.

Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment.

Depreciation is calculated on a reducing balance basis to write off the net cost of each item of plant and equipment over its expected useful life, being 2.5 to 6.7 years.

Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Consolidated Entity makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is written down to its recoverable amount.

30

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Intangible Assets

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Initial costs of acquisition of intellectual property are capitalised in the Statement of Financial Position where there is evidence it will generate economic benefits.

Expenditures in relation to the development of identifiable and unique products, and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets and amortised over their estimated useful lives. Any expenditure related to research is expensed as incurred.

Amortisation of intellectual property is charged to operating expenses and/or cost of services on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, from the date they are available for use. The residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if appropriate.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

31

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including:

  • interest on the bank overdraft;

  • interest on short-term and long-term borrowings;

  • interest on finance leases; and

  • unwinding of the discount on provisions.

Convertible notes

The component parts of convertible notes issued by the Consolidated Entity are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Conversion options that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments is an equity instrument.

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recognised as a liability on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguishment upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will be transferred to share premium. Where the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance recognised in equity will be transferred to retained profits. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognised directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortised over the lives of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Consolidated Entity becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Consolidated Entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Employee entitlements

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, and any other employee entitlements expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Employee entitlements expenses and revenues arising in respect of wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave, sick leave and other entitlements are charged against profits on a net basis.

Contributions are made to employee superannuation plans and are charged as expenses when incurred.

Issued capital

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) payable to the taxation authority. Exchanges of goods or services of the same nature and value without any cash consideration are not recognised as revenues.

Revenue from education and training services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion method, based on actual service provided as a proportion of total services to be provided. This is measured with reference to the number of units completed as a proportion of the total numbers units to complete the course.

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences in the statement of financial position between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

33

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense as applicable.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in Statements of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities that are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

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

Segment Reporting

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 that makes strategic decisions.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to the Consolidated Entity, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the year that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is current when: it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

34

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Fair value of assets and liabilities

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value, on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statement

Valuation techniques

In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:

  • Market approach : valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

  • Income approach : valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value.

  • Cost approach : valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.

Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.

35

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:

  • Level 1

  • Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

  • Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 2

Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3

Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.

The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:

Tax losses of $11,,483,006 (2017: $7,849,224) were derecognised during the current year, as a result of an assessment of the availability of prior period tax losses. From the assessment performed, tax losses prior to the acquisition of iCollege Pty Ltd were deemed to no longer be available and were derecognised

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and temporary differences carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2018 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. Future tax benefits will only be obtained if:

i. the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and temporary differences to be realised;

ii. the company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure.

Discovery of inconsistencies in MIA during the FY2016 with what was portrayed of the business prior to its acquisition has meant the board has taken the view that additional payments to the vendor are not justifiable given the inconsistencies discovered. Until it can be resolved further payments in the form of share issues (currently taken up in trade and other payables of $1.5M) and release of any shares currently held in escrow will be suspended (Refer to Note 18 for further details)

Fair Value and Risk Exposures

  • (i) Due to the short term nature of these payables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

17. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of business category and geographical areas. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated proportionately to the applicable segments based on its use. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

On 10 August 2017, Walker Enterprises (Australia) Pty Ltd (Walker) filed a Commercial List Statement in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Equity Division) seeking payment of the sum of $9,000,000. On 2 February 2018, Walker filed a Notice of Motion seeking the Court's leave to file an Amended Commercial List Statement which reduces the quantum of the claim from $9 million to $3,520,822. Leave to reduce that claim was provided by the Court on 9 February 2018.

Walker seeks recovery of the balance sale price alleged to be payable under a share sale agreement (SSA) for the acquisition by iCollege of 100% of the capital of certain MIA companies (Walker subsidiaries). These MIA Companies were subsequently placed into litigation by iCollege following completion of the transaction.

iCollege has defended the proceeding and filed an amended Commercial List Response. iCollege's defence asserts misrepresentations by Walker, breaches of certain obligations under SSA and inaccurate warranties in the SSA rendering each of the MIA companies of no value.

In addition, iCollege has claimed by way of set-off and cross claim, orders permitting iCollege to cancel the shares issued by iCollege in the name of Walker's nominee, being shares issued as part of the purchase consideration and an Order that Walker pay iCollege $1 million, being cash paid to Walker pursuant to the SSA. In the alternative, iCollege seeks an Order that Walker pay to iCollege the sum of $2 million, being the return of the cash component paid by iCollege and the value of the shares issued by iCollege to Walker pursuant to the SSA.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

On 8 December 2017, the Court ordered Walker to provide security for iCollege's costs of the proceeding against it (excluding costs attributable solely to iCollege's cross claim). The amount to be paid by Walker by way of security was determined on Friday, 9 February 2018 in the sum of $231,000. Walker has paid those costs into court. Walker made an application to have iCollege provide security for his costs. That application was ultimately abandoned by Walker.

Each of the parties have now filed their lay evidence on which they intend to rely at trial. Walker has filed his expert evidence and iCollege is due to file and serve its expert evidence in response shortly.

The matter has been listed for trial for 10 days commencing 12 November 2018 with a mediation scheduled to take place on 10 October 2018.

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS

The Consolidated Entity’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for the Consolidated Entity’s operations.

The Consolidated Entity has various other financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors, which arise directly from its operations. Furthermore, the Consolidated Entity obtained funding via convertible notes during the year.

The Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments are measured at amortised cost, less any provision for non-recovery. The carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value.

It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the Consolidated Entity’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken.

The main risks arising from the Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Interest Rate Risk

At reporting date the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Consolidated Entity’s short-term cash deposits. The Consolidated Entity constantly analyses its exposure to interest rates, with consideration given to potential renewal of existing positions, the mix of fixed and variable interest rates and the period to which deposits may be fixed.

At reporting date, the Consolidated Entity had the following financial assets exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

Financial Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents

Net exposure
2018
2017
$
$
339,214
12,000
339,214
12,000

The weighted average rate of interest is 0.5% (2017: 0.5%)

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date for variable interest bearing accounts. The 0.5% sensitivity is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using an observed range of historical LIBOR movements over the last 3 years.

At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had moved on variable interest bearing accounts, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit and equity relating to financial assets of the Consolidated Entity would have been affected as follows:

2018 2017
$ $
Judgements of reasonably possible movements:
Post tax profit - higher / (lower)
+ 0.5% 1,696 60
- 0.5% (1,696) (60)
Equity - higher / (lower)
+ 0.5% 1,696 60
- 0.5% (1,696) (60)

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity has adopted the policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Consolidated Entity measures credit risk on a fair value basis.

The Consolidated Entity has a credit risk in relation to its cash at bank, short-term deposits and receivables. However, this risk is minimised as the cash is deposited only with AA or greater (Moodys) rated financial institutions. The Consolidated Entity does not have any other significant credit risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.

Impairment losses are recorded against receivables unless the Consolidated Entity is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point the amount is considered irrecoverable and is written off against the financial asset directly.

52

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2018

21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Management believes the balance date risk exposures are representative of the risk exposure inherent in financial instruments.

Liquidity Risk

The Consolidated Entity has no significant exposure to liquidity risk as there is effectively no debt. Trade payables are all expected to be paid within 30 days and their carrying amounts are considered to equal their contractual amount. The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring adequate cash reserves are maintained.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of iCollege Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of iCollege Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 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 year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion:

  • a. the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

  • b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1(ii).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 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 Consolidated Entity 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 (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of iCollege Limited (Continued)

==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1(iii) in the financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $4,415,875 during the year ended 30 June 2018. As stated in Note 1(iii), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(iii), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matter

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is the key driver of the Consolidated Entity and is generated through education and training services. Revenue from education and training services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion, based on actual service provided as a proportion of total services to be provided.

The Consolidated Entity focuses on revenue as a key performance measure and is also a key driver by which the performance of the Consolidated Entity is measured. This area is a key audit matter due to the volume of transactions and the total revenue from operations.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our procedures included amongst others:

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Documenting the processes and evaluating the internal controls relating to revenue recognition;

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Reviewing the revenue recognition policy for each revenue stream for compliance with AASB 118;

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Testing a sample of educational service income to supporting contracts to ensure revenue was recognised in line with the revenue recognition policy; Performing analytical procedures to understand movements and trends in revenue;

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Assessing cut-off of revenue at year end and ensuring revenue has been recorded in the correct reporting period; and

  • Assessing the adequacy of the Consolidated Entity’s revenue disclosure within the financial statements

Acquisition of Manthano Limited

Our Procedures included amongst others:

As disclosed in note 5 of the financial report, during the year the Consolidated Entity acquired 100% of the equity instruments of Manthano Limited for a total consideration of $15,250,000 via the issue of shares.

This is a key audit matter due to the size of the acquisition, the complexities inherent in a business combination and the significant judgements made by management, including the identification and measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. Under Australian Accounting Standards, management is required to identify all assets and

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

At 30 June 2018, the acquisition accounting for this
business is provisional and, in line with the Australian
Accounting Standards, the Consolidated Entity has up
to 12 months from the date of acquisition to finalise the
accounting for this acquisition.
Assessed the provisionally accounted for allocation
of assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition;
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation
of the resultant intangible assets; and
Assessing the appropriateness of the related
disclosures in Note 5 of the financial report.
Contingent liabilities Our procedures included amongst others:
As part of our audit procedures we have assessed
management’s processes to identify possible
obligations and changes in existing obligations for
compliance with the Consolidated Entity accounting
policies and AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets requirements.
Reviewing legal advice received by the Consolidated
Entity addressing the position in accordance with the
requirements of AASB 137;
Discussions with the Consolidated Entity’s legal
advisors on the MIA Legal proceedings; and
Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures included in
the financial report.
The Consolidated Entity is involved in a legal proceeding
against them in relation to the acquisition of the
Management Institute of Australia Consolidated Entity of
Companies (MIA) in the Supreme Court of New South
Wales. The Plaintiff is alleging a breach by iCollege and
MIA of the Share Sale Agreement and alleging
entitlement to payment of up to $3,520,822 to be paid to
them pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement.
The Consolidated Entity disputes the plaintiffs’ claims in
full and will be fully defending the Proceedings.
No provisions have been recognised with respect to the
claim other than the $1,500,000 already recognised in
respect to the original consideration payable as disclosed
in note 11. The original consideration liability will remain,
until the legal matter is resolved.
Refer to notes 11, 18 and 22 for further details.
The item, is identified as a key audit matter as the
accounting and disclosure for contingent liabilities from
claims is complex and judgmental, and the amounts
involved are, or can be material to the financial
statements as a whole.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Consolidated Entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of iCollege Limited (Continued)

==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 on 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 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1(ii), the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. 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 the 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 the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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.

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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 Consolidated Entity’s internal control.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of iCollege Limited (Continued)

==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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 or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Consolidated Entity 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.

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, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period 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

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2018. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 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.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of iCollege Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
