ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

In last years annual report, I spoke of having great confidence in the future of the business. Having now completed my first full year as the Chairman of iCollege, it has been pleasing to see this confidence was well placed, with the team having delivered four (4) consecutive quarters of growth to the year ending 30 June 2019 and poised to deliver its maiden annual profit for the group in 2020.

It is worth while taking pause to reflect on just how far the Company has come over the last 18 months or so. When I joined iCollege in October 2017, the Company had good bones and dedicated staff but was in dire need of a turnaround in its fortunes. With renewed vigour, a focus on some key areas and with the support of some incredible people, that turnaround is all but complete. I think that the staff, shareholders and all those involved can be rightly proud of what has been achieved to date and are able to reap the rewards for their dedication, loyalty and trust.

One of the significant milestones achieved this year was the extinguishment of the Walker litigation. This eradicated a material risk to the future of the Company. The terms of settlement were, in the circumstances, an outstanding result for the Board and in turn, the Company. The clean-up of the litigation and the acquisition that gave rise to it, is reflected in this year’s set of accounts and includes both a material write-back for the contingent liability that had been provisioned as well as a material write down in the value of the businesses acquired as part of that transaction. Moving forward, the Walker transaction and litigation will have no ongoing impact on the Company’s financials.

In a tight cash-flow environment, we have focussed our efforts on ensuring that our domestic business is fit and healthy, allowing it to both grow organically and be well placed to take advantage of local opportunities as they arise. The rationalisation of premises, the geographic expansion of courses to campuses in other States, a focus on quality of service to our agent network, our agreements with Cambridge Assessment English and Parabellum, and the resolution of the Walker litigation are all examples of this.

As a consequence of our focus on the on-shore business and need to prudently manage our cash flow, the off-shore expansion opportunities have been slower to progress than we would have liked. As you would have seen from a number of the announcements made during the year, those opportunities continue to progress but do so in the context of prudent financial management. That said, the foundations for successful overseas expansion have been set, and as the Group’s financial position improves, you can expect to see a greater level of progress being made in this area.

In January, I had the opportunity to meet with the Board and Executive of iCollege at the new Perth campus. This facility was developed in conjunction with the local council and encompasses the fully operational Sero Café, which is utilised to train our hospitality students, a gym and basketball courts used to facilitate our sports management students, a fully resourced library and classroom facilities that can cater for 400 international students. The facility, which opened in November 2018, has enjoyed exceptional growth and is now home to over 280 students. The success of the Perth campus has put us in the enviable position of having to now look at sourcing further premises to cater for additional growth in 2020.

During this trip I facilitated the second strategic planning session for the business. Following a full review of the business we mapped out our specific priorities for the year, timetabled the pursuit and implementation of certain business initiatives, and recommitted to our core objectives:

  • Ensuring financially responsible decisions are made for the Company;

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

  • Delivering training using up-to-date and relevant delivery methods;

  • Developing appropriate government and industry relationships; and

  • Increasing on-shore demand through international delivery.

In addition to this, as a key driver of sales and brand, we resolved to encourage staff to go “ above and beyond ” in all areas, including student experience, agent relationships and communications with stake-holders. To their credit, the staff have done a wonderful job which is evident from the quarter on quarter growth that the company experienced.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

DIRECTORS REPORT

As part of the process of making financially responsible decisions, we also had to make difficult decisions regarding staffing and salaries. During the year we saw seven (7) long term staff exited from the business with pay-out costs totalling $68,500. These roles represented an annual cost to the business of $522,500. Three (3) new roles were developed which were focussed on streamlining business and client processes. Appointments for these new roles were made at an annual cost of $189,000 providing an overall annualised saving of $363,000.

Similar decisions have been taken around the closure and/or relocation of some campuses, with a focus on utilisation rates for existing facilities. The rationalisation of campuses is expected to deliver a reduction in the Group’s occupancy costs of over $300,000 per annum with no impact on the current student intake or the international student (CRICOS) capacity of 1,800 students. Save for the need to source further premises in Perth to cater for the unexpected speed of growth in that area, all the infrastructure needed to drive significant growth of iCollege in its current locations, is now in place.

We have also undertaken a restructuring of the various business units within the Group as a means of driving efficiencies and accountability. Each of the Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) is supported by the Shared Services Division. This division provides marketing and administrative support to each of the RTOs and allows the Company to have a dynamic and nimble approach to addressing any opportunity that may arise. Our compliance division is focussed on reviewing our teaching materials, course content and course delivery and correlating that to the regulatory framework with a view to being proactive with our compliance obligations. Where issues arise, as they inevitably will in this sector, our compliance team is well equipped to liaise with the regulators and implement changes as and when required, ensuring that our compliance risk is appropriately managed.

The year ahead looks bright. We expect the on-going trend of revenues growth to continue. With the sunk costs of rationalising our facilities now largely completed, we look forward to a year of stronger cash flows and Group profitability.

The education sector in Australia is set for a shake-up this financial year with the Commonwealth Government recently announcing a Review of Senior Secondary Pathways into Work, Further Education and Training . I’d commend all those interested in iCollege and the educational sector generally to have a read of the background paper for the Review.[1] As with any shake-up of a sector, opportunities arise for those able to take advantage of them and I am of the view that iCollege now sits squarely in that position. This is especially so, following its appointment as the Preferred Partner of Cambridge Assessment English for the introduction of its Linguaskill suite of medium-stakes tests to the Australian market.

I hope to be writing to you again next year, as I have this year, expressing that the confidence I have shown in the future of the Company was well placed. Until then, I, and the team at iCollege thank you for your ongoing support. It is greatly appreciated.

Simon Tolhurst Chairman

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Loss per Share was 2.65 cents (2018: loss of 1.55 cents).

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

iCollege Limited is comprised of six businesses which deliver accredited and non-accredited vocational education and training solutions throughout Australia and internationally. iCollege currently has:

  • four registered training organisations (RTO’s) based in Australia;

  • an internationally recognised training provider based in Australia; and

  • an international student recruitment agency.

The iCollege training scope assists people to develop essential skills and knowledge needed to gain employment or advance their careers across a range of industry sectors including construction, aged care, 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 at our seven campuses located in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.

iCollege operates four CRICOS approved campuses with an allocation for 1,800 students. The CRICOS approved campuses are in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Perth.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The year represented a significant improvement on the previous year’s trading results with:

  • a 212% improvement on revenues;

  • revenue growth increasing at a greater rate than normalised expenses; and

  • 350% increase in international student enrolments,

Setting a firm foundation for iCollege to aim for a maiden profit by FYE2020.

The FYE2019 has seen iCollege deliver four (4) consecutive quarters of revenue growth and a move to profitability in Q4. Each individual RTO now contributes profit to the overall Group on a monthly basis, with both international and domestic enrolments continuing to be strong.

The Company recorded a loss after tax for FYE2019 of $13,495,185 (2018: $4,584,635).

Revenue for the Group grew significantly from $2,739,522 in 2018 to $8,542,536 in 2019 following the Manthano Limited acquisition. This represents a 212% increase in revenue across FYE2019.

The financial year ended 30 June 2019, represented the first full year’s operations following the Manthano Limited acquisition. This acquisition brought the business units of Sero Institute, Capital Training Institute and Risktec International into the Group. iStudy International also began operations in India with first revenues delivered in Q4 and a number of successful training partnerships signed. The increased scale of operations has enabled the Company to establish a shared services division providing efficiencies in marketing, sales and management services across all business units in the Group. This has resulted in a significant increase in revenues and enrolments for the year.

Importantly, the Company removed a significant risk to its ongoing operations by resolving the Walker litigation (ASX: 11.10.2018). Refer below for details.

During the year, the Company also incurred over $600,000 in abnormal non-recurring expenses, details of which are set out below.

7

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW - CONTINUED

Following the centralisation of its accounting team, the Board and Executive focused on financially responsible cost reduction strategies including the rationalisation of the number of campuses, staff restructuring and reduction of course delivery costs.

Additionally, several abnormal costs were incurred, driven by both legacy issues and pursuing organic growth opportunities both in Australia and internationally. Following is an outline of these costs and a comparison with the same reporting period during 2018:

  • Ø On 11 October 2018, the Company announced that the Supreme Court litigation with Walker Enterprises (Australia) Pty Ltd and Walker had been settled. The terms of settlement included the sale of Walker’s 6,666,667 shares to buyers nominated by iCollege through off-market transfers, with the proceeds being to meet the Settlement Sum and Walker being removed as a shareholder on the company share register. As consequence of the settlement, the amount previously recorded in trade and other payables of $1,500,000 in the 2018 Annual Report, was reversed, recognised as a write-back to profit and has been approved by the Company’s auditor. This write-back occurred in the period ending 31 December 2018 and is reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss as a ‘Gain on settlement of liability’.

  • Ø Legal fees associated directly with the defence and ultimate settlement of the Walker litigation matter during FY2019 totalled approximately $400,000 which included solicitor costs, barrister costs, the costs of experts including expert reports and costs associated with seeking information and evidence from third parties. The abnormal expense associated with these legal costs have now been fully discharged by the Company.

  • Ø As the business has grown, so have the costs associated with running the business. Pleasingly, the increase in normalised expenses has been at a rate significantly lower than the rate at which revenues have increased:

  • Employee costs incurred by the business in 2018 totalled $2,143,905 compared with costs of $4,514,764 for FYE2019 (Manthano employee costs are only reflected from acquisition date of 12 February 2018);

  • Current international enrolment numbers represent a utilisation rate of only 45% of the Company’s current CRICOS capacity, meaning that the sunk costs have been incurred to pave the way for future growth in international student numbers for nominal incremental increase in costs;

  • Additional resources have been allocated to ensure the best possible student experience and to comply with regulatory requirements; and

  • All other RTO business units have maintained staffing levels while increasing revenue contributions.

  • Ø Throughout the year, the company made several decisions regarding redundancies and staff restructuring. Seven (7) long term staff exited the business with pay-out costs of $68,500. These roles represented an annual cost of $522,500. Three (3) new roles were developed focussed on streamlining business and client processes. These new appointments were made at an annual cost of $189,000 providing annual savings of $363,000 moving forward.

  • Ø Occupancy expenses increased from $639,657 in 2018 to $1,589,848 in 2019. This was directly attributable to the acquisition of Manthano and growth from one campus to 8 campuses across the country. This increase also includes the establishment of a Perth campus that has grown significantly by way of student numbers from 50 at opening in November 2018 to close to 300 at 30 June 2019.

8

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW - CONTINUED

Having closed two campuses in 2019, the Company anticipates further rationalisation of physical premises in the coming year to drive an increase in utilisation of key facilities.

  • Ø The company incurred end of lease expenses linked to the closure of 2 campuses and relocation of 1 campus:

  • The make good costs and fit out requirements for the relocated Adelaide facility nominally exceeded $50,000;

  • The closure of the Kedron facility has seen the relocation of Capital Training Institute to the existing Mt. Gravatt campus which already housed the Celtic training business, greatly increasing the utilisation rate for this facility; and

  • The end of lease at the Sydney campus of Capital Training Institute has provided a significant annual saving.

The rationalisation of campuses is expected to deliver a reduction in the Group’s occupancy costs by over $300,000 per annum with no impact on the current student intake or the international student (CRICOS) capacity of 1,800 students. The cost of CRICIOS facilities is generally higher than the occupancy costs for delivery to domestic students given the legislative requirements for allocation approval as a CRICOS provider.

  • Ø iCollege expended $292,391 on travel and accommodation during the financial year. This travel has been required for the movement of staff progressing both China and India opportunities as well as ongoing requirements for Australian travel for specialist staff. Additionally, the company has worked with its agent network internationally to expand offshore applications which have proven successful. The company plans to lodge an Export Market Development Grant Scheme application prior to the end of Q2 FYE2020.

While the Board recognises that both the China and Indian initiatives appear to be progressing slowly, largely due to cash constraints, the strategy is nonetheless proving successful, with India producing first revenues in Q4 FYE2019 and both China and India representing 21% of the overall international student population studying at Sero facilities in Australia. The Company expects this trend to increase as it gathers a firmer foothold in both locations through greater leverage of our partners’ skills, facilities and contacts and increased target marketing in these countries.

The board and executive are confident that the current trend of strong enrolments, coupled with stringent cash management and the continued development of international initiatives will deliver a strong result for shareholders during FYE2020.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The company has completed a reasonable turnaround over the last 18 months. As the company transfers from a loss making enterprise to a profit making enterprise, the company remains at this point in time a relatively immature business. Its ability to grow its revenues and profits are dependent on a number of contingent factors.

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. The inclusion of such information is at this stage be unpredictable and publication of expected results would likely prejudice both the company and the ASX market participants.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED DIRECTORS REPORT

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW - CONTINUED

FINANCIAL POSITION

The Company recorded a loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 of $13,495,185 (2018: $4,584,635).

The net deficiency of the Consolidated Entity were $1,045,296 (2018: $9,566,873 net assets).

The Consolidated Entity’s working capital deficiency, being current assets less current liabilities was $3,726,185 (2018: $5,157,693 deficiency).

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 $1,873,926 to $13,495,185. Adjustments included mainly reversal of accrual cost adjustments of $142,807, reduction in unearned revenue of $303,055, impairment of goodwill amount for $11,607,592 net of DTL written off, and amortisation of intangibles of $615,665.

Goodwill was recognised on the acquisition of Manthano on 12 February 2018. The acquisition consideration was valued based on the prevailing share price on the day of the shareholder meeting, held on 12 February 2018, where approval was received for the company to complete the acquisition and issue the consideration shares. The price on the day was 7.1cents per share, a substantial premium to when the original acquisition terms sheet was announced on 2 October 2017, when the share price was 1.7cents per share, at this time the agreed acquisition value was approximately $4.2M, based on the share price at the time.

During the year, management tested the Group’s assets for impairment resulting in an impairment loss of $11,607,592 being the entirety of the goodwill recognised on acquisition of the business. The Company determined the recoverable amount using the value-in use method being a discounted cash flow forecast for a period of 7 years with a pre-tax discount rate of 13.79%

The Board have agreed to impair goodwill, after testing the Group’s assets for impairment to the approximate value that the acquisition was originally agreed upon, the purchase price remaining on the statement of financial position being ascribed to Intangible assets for Licenced operations of Manthano.

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 2019.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE YEAR

No other matters or circumstances has arisen since 30 June 2019 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.

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 (2018: 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.

During the year 30 June 2019, the Consolidated Entity issued 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;

  • Loans provided to the Company (2019: $350,400) by Directors who have historically demonstrated support to the Company by not calling on the loan until the Company is in a financial position to repay the amounts or convert the amounts to 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 ability of the Consolidated Entity to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets for working capital;

  • The remaining convertible note at 30 June 2019 has been extended until 31 December 2019 and the company will look to convert the note 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.

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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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.

(iv) Adoption of New and Revised Standards

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the “AASB”) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current year.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The Group has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced 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 that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets are 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 or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, 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 use an ‘expected credit loss’ (“ECL”) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using 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. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange

for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting policies below.

Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Contracts with customers are 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. Customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfil a contract can, subject to certain criteria, be capitalised as an asset and amortised over the contract period.

Impact of adoption

AASB 9 and AASB 15 were adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such comparatives have not been restated. There was no impact of adoption on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2018.

The application of these amendments has not resulted in any impact on the financial performance or financial position of the Group.

(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.

Valuation of intangible assets

Intangible assets and goodwill

As part of the terms of the Business Combination, a valuation work performed using the Discounted Cash Flow approach to determine the intangible assets of the licenced operation. A discount rate of 13.79% pre-tax was applied.

The Group has intangible assets with a carrying amount of $3,461,216 (Note 8) and goodwill with a carrying amount of Nil (Note 8), arising through a business combination completed during 2018 (Note 17).

Intangible assets and goodwill are regularly reviewed for impairment and whenever there is an indication that an impairment might exist. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing on, at least, an annual basis.

To assess if there is any impairment, estimates are made of the future cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets and their eventual disposal. These estimated cash flows are then adjusted to the present value using an appropriate discount

rate that reflects the risks and uncertainties associated with the forecasted cash flows. Actual outcomes could vary significantly from such estimates of discounted future cash flows.

The Group applied the following key assumption for the “value in use” calculations used in the impairment testing of intangible assets and goodwill at year-end:

27

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  • discount rate in respect of goodwill and brand/intellectual property intangible asset of 13.79% pre-tax

Since the cash flows does not take into account tax expenses, a pre-tax discount rate is used in the impairment testing.

(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 9 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.

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

28

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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.

29

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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.

30

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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

31

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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

Our group revenue is comprised of the following:

Student co-contribution revenue for government funded courses -

Performance obligation:

Administration fee for allowing the student to perform the literacy test

Timing of recognition:

Revenue recognised using the point in time recognition when the performance obligations are satisfied (i.e. when students has completed the literacy test for eligibility into the funded course enrolments are confirmed)

Government Funded Courses -

Performance obligation:

When a student has completed a unit within the course

Timing of recognition:

Revenue recognition is when the student has successfully completed the course and has submitted the claim to the government

Educational teaching revenue -

Performance obligation:

Provision of vocational teaching across various course levels ranging from certificate through to advanced diploma. Timing of recognition:

Revenue is recognised from the commencement of the course till completion.

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

32

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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.

33

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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.

Financial assets (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified "at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain significant financing component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.

34

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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:

  • (i) if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or

  • (ii) if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa

When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Rounding of amounts

The Consolidated entity has not applied Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off to the nearest dollar.

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 23.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT OPERATIVE AT 30 JUNE 2019

At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective.

AASB 16 will be applied by the Consolidated Entity from its mandatory adoption date of 1 July 2019.

The comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption will not be restated, as the Consolidated Entity has chosen to apply AASB 16 retrospectively with cumulative effect. While the right-of-use assets for property leases will be measured on transition as if the new rules had always been applied, all other right-of-use assets will be measured at the amount of the lease liability on adoption.

Based on a preliminary assessment the Consolidated Entity has estimated that on 1 July 2019, a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities will be required to be recognised based on the operating lease commitment at note 18, which do not fall under the lease exception. All impacts are subject to finalisation prior to final implementation.

The Consolidated Entity expects that net profit after tax will decrease as of adopting the new rules. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase as the operating lease payments were included in EBITDA, but the amortisation of the right-of-use assets and interest on the lease liability are excluded from this measure. The Consolidated Entity is still currently assessing the impact on adoption of the new standard.

The repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities will be classified as cash flows from financing activities, thus increasing operating cash flows and decreasing financing cash flows.

Given that the Consolidated Entity activities as a lessor will not be materially impacted by this new Standard, the Consolidated Entity does not expect any significant impact on its financial statement from a lessor perspective. Nonetheless, starting from the financial year ending 30 June 2020, additional disclosures will be required.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and temporary differences carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2019 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.

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.

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
(interest-bearing accounts)
Net exposure
2019
2018
$
$
134,989
339,214
134,989
339,214

The weighted average rate of interest is 0.5% (2018: 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 2019, 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:

2019 2018
$ $
Judgements of reasonably possible movements:
Post tax profit - higher / (lower)
+ 0.5% 675 1,696
- 0.5% (675) (1,696)
Equity - higher / (lower)
+ 0.5% 675 1,696
- 0.5% (675) (1,696)

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.

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

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

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 2019, 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 2019 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 $13,495,185 during the year ended 30 June 2019. 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 How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is the key driver of the Consolidated Entity and
is generated through the provision of education and
training services.
The Consolidated Entity adopted_AASB 15 Revenue_
from Contracts with Customers(“AASB 15”) with effect
from 1 July 2018. The Consolidated Entity’s sales
revenue amounted to $8,542,536 during the year. Note
1 describes the accounting policies applicable to
distinct revenue streams, noting that Revenue from
education and training services is recognised by
reference to when the performance obligations are
satisfied.
The recognition of revenue and associated unearned
revenue is considered a key audit matter due to the
varied timing of recognition relative to the different
revenue streams, separate performance obligations
and the application of AASB 15.
Our procedures included amongst others:
Documenting the processes and assessing the
internal controls relating to revenue processing and
recognition;
Reviewing the revenue recognition policy for each
revenue stream for compliance with AASB 15;
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;
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 in note 1 and 3 of the financial
report.
Acquisition of Manthano Limited and fair value
calculation of intangible assets
On 12 February 2018 the Consolidated Entity acquired
Manthano Limited.
During the current year the Consolidated Entity
completed the purchase price allocation for Manthano
Limited with the assistance of an independent expert.
Our procedures included amongst others:
We
obtained

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

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

Key Audit Matter

As part of the purchase price allocation a separately identifiable intangible asset relating to the licenced operations for $4,309,653 was recognised. These intangible assets have been valued using the Discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach . The excess consideration paid over the net tangible assets and identifiable intangibles assets was recognised as goodwill for an amount of $11,607,592.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

  • assessed the work of the expert with respect to the scope, methodology, findings and conclusions of their work.

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

We assessed the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Note 17 of the financial report.

Given the significance of the acquisition transaction and the complexity of accounting for business combinations, and the significant management assumptions in the valuation of the intangible assets identified, we consider this to be a key audit matter.

Impairment of intangible assets

Our procedures included, amongst others assessing:

As at 30 June 2019, the carrying value of the identified intangible assets from the finalisation of the Manthano Limited business combination was $11,607,592 in goodwill and $4,309,653 in licenced operations, as disclosed in Note 8 and 17 of the financial report. An impairment loss of $11,607,592 was recognised based on the forecasts prepared by management.

The evaluation of the recoverable amount of intangible assets is an area of significant estimation and judgement, and as a result is a Key Audit Matter.

  • management’s determination of the CGUs to which goodwill and indefinite life intangibles are allocated; the reasonableness of the financial year budget approved by the Directors, comparing to current actual results, and considering trends, strategies and outlooks; the source of inputs used in the impairment models, including approved budgets; the discount rate and growth rate applied in the impairment models; the arithmetic accuracy of the impairment models; Management’s sensitivity analysis around the key drivers of the cash flow projections, to consider the likelihood of such movements occurring sufficient to give rise to an impairment; and the appropriateness of the disclosures including those relating to sensitivities in the assumptions used in Note 8 and 17.

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 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

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

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.

==> 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.

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

==> picture [73 x 36] 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.

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

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 2019. 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 2019, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
