ICOLLEGE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

Since October 2015, the newly appointed CEO Mr. Stuart Manifold has undertaken a detailed strategic review of all parts of the business. This review has culminated in the following enhancements and rationalisations being made to the business:

  • Expansion of the iCollege internal sales team with the recruitment of 4 industry specialist personnel located in Queensland.

  • Discovery of inconsistencies in the Management Institute of Australia (MIA) with what was portrayed of the business prior to its acquisition. These inconsistencies have provided information to the Company that suggest that, based on all information available at this point in time, the intangible asset acquired as part of the business combination with MIA is impaired. As a result the Company has recognized impairment charges of $4,854,240 for the entire value of the intangible assets acquired as part of the MIA business.

  • The board has taken the view that additional payments to the vendor of MIA are not justifiable given the inconsistencies discovered and has proposed that a formal mediation be held promptly to resolve these issues. Until that time any further payments and release of any shares currently held in escrow will be suspended.

  • The Directors have deemed that the on-going development of the iCollege Platform was not feasible based on developmental issues with the system, and have investigated alternative options in relation to cloud based learning management systems. An alternative system has been licensed to the Company and we intend rolling this out in March 2016. As a result the Company has recognized impairment charges of $3,672,783.

  • Subsequent to acquisition of MIA it has been identified that there are $195,000 in debtors that are unlikely to be collectible and therefore a provision has been established against this.

  • Rationalisation of Qualifications within MIA to focus on 6 main Qualifications

  • Increase in iCollege revenue attained through business partners and franchisees, proposed increase to 40% up from 15%

  • Proposed restructure of Franchise operations to an industry and regulator accepted and consistent partnership model.

  • Expansion of Mathisi Qualifications to service new client base with a requirement for skilled employees.

  • Development of an internal iCollege Schools based program.

  • Expansion of Celtic Training scope of Qualifications to include Foundation skills qualifications allowing Celtic to service the Corrective Services market in Queensland and South Australia. This offering is also being rolled out to community groups whose main focus is working with underprivileged and marginalised Australians.

  • A focus on the utilisation of MIA CRICOS licenses allowing foreign student revenue.

  • An expansion of the Fee for Service part of the iCollege offering.

  • Centralisation of compliance and accounting functions allowing each business to concentrate on new business development.

  • Focus on development of sustainable pathways to employment for iCollege graduates. This is being achieved through strong partnerships with business leaders and peak bodies across a number of industries.

  • Investigation into International markets with an appetite for Australian Qualifications; this will be delivered in concert with strong local partners.

  • Strategic acquisition focus on companies that fit within and expand the three core verticals established within the iCollege group.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

iCollege is not exposed to Vet Fee Help (VFH) or any Federal Government funding. The iCollege Executive has taken the position of not pursuing VFH until the new guidelines for this are published in early 2017. The only possible exception to this will be Celtic Training where we have an active Vet Fee Help application in with the department. We are currently cooperating with all requests for further information to allow the Department to make a suitable allocation to this application. It is possible that a level of Vet Fee Help contract MAY be awarded; however given the current environment, VFH has not factored into the iCollege forecast.

Abstaining from any further applications will allow the group to continue to demonstrate its strong completion rates (>70% across the group) and its commitment to providing strong pathways to employment for all iCollege Graduates. This is particularly important metric when a national average of circa 40% is taken into account. The next 12 months of operations will clearly demonstrate that iCollege is an ethical and compliant provider of Vocational Training and stand the organisation in good stead to seek funding under the new guidelines. During the next 12 months iCollege will continue to develop a strong fee for service model culminating in guaranteed employment for graduates, we will also continue to work with State Governments in Queensland and New South Wales to deliver strong outcomes under a Government funded model for participants who qualify under the guidelines. In summary iCollege operates a compliant and low risk training model.

With the changes above that are now 90% completed, iCollege is well positioned to drive significant growth across all businesses. We have begun a number of new and exciting initiatives and partnerships focused on the delivery of employment outcomes for our students. This coupled with our strong completion rates and centralised compliance, accounting and business development functions will ensure a seamless integration for all future acquisitions. I am looking forward to working closely with the team to deliver strong growth in revenue numbers across the next 12 months.

RESULTS

The Company recorded a loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 of $7,254,591 (2014: $899,202).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There are no other matters or circumstances, other than disclosed elsewhere in this report or the financial statements at note 13, that has arisen since the end of the financial period, that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

FUTURE 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.

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

A copy of the auditor’s independence declarations as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included in this report, and can be found on page 5.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2015

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORTS

Basis of Accounting

This general purpose financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2015 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.

These half-year financial reports do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial reports and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial reports.

The half-year financial reports should be read in conjunction with the annual financial reports for the year ended 30 June 2015 and any public announcements made by iCollege Limited during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial statements, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

New or revised standards and interpretations that are first effective in the current reporting period

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 their operations and effective for the current halfyear.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current half-year that are relevant to the Group include:

  • AASB 2015-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality’

The adoption of the above standards have not had a material impact on this half year financial report.

Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on a 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 Company incurred a loss for the half-year of $7,254,591 (2014: $899,202) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $223,048 (2014: $785,337). The net assets of the Company have decreased from 30 June 2015 by $6,889,859 to $(1,818,472) at 31 December 2015 (June 2015: $2,234,390). As at 31 December 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,385,463 (June 2015: $3,076,285).

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Company to secure funds by raising capital from equity and debt markets, the results of negotiations with creditors in extinguishing amounts currently payable, the operating of its core business units at profitability and and managing cashflow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

10

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2015

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Company 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. In particular the Company:

  • is currently in negotiations with the previous owners of Management Institute of Australia Pty Ltd with the aim of extinguishing deferred consideration relating to this acquisition of $1,500,000 that was due as at 31 December 2015 (refer note 7). Should the Company be unsuccessful in extinguishing this payable amount, additional funds will be required to be raised to settle this outstanding balance;

  • is currently in the progress or raising a further $1,000,000 via an issue of a convertible note;

  • as at the date of this report, convertible notes totalled $1,750,000 after repayments of $400,000 were made subsequent to 31 December 2015 (refer note 6). Of this amount, $500,000 matures in the next two months from the date of this report, with the remainder maturing later than 10 months from the date of this report. Should any of these convertible notes be required to be repaid in cash, additional funds will be required to be raised to settle any such amounts;

  • Mr Ross Cotton has provided the Company with a letter of financial support to the amount of $500,000 based on normal market terms and conditions; and

  • have forecasted an improvement in operations following the restructuring of core business units and the acquisition of Celtic Training & Consultancy Pty Ltd (refer note 13), which they expect to generate profitable operations within the next 12 months.

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 Company’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.

Should the Company 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 Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2015

Intangible Assets – Provisionally Accounted for

During the half-year, a review completed by the Company of all compliance and operations in the recently acquired Management Institute of Australia Pty Ltd (“MIA”) discovered a number of inconsistencies with what was portrayed of the business prior to its acquisition. These inconsistencies have provided information to the Company that suggest that, based on all information available at this point in time, the intangible asset acquired as part of the business combination with MIA is impaired. As a result, the Company has recognised impairment charges of $4,854,240 for the entire value of the intangible assets acquired as part of the business combination with MIA.

The remaining intangible assets provisionally accounted for are in relation to intangibles recognised from the acquisition of Bookkeeping School Pty Ltd and Mathisi Pty Ltd.

iCollege Platform development expenditure

During the half-year, the directors have deemed that the on-going development of this asset was not feasible based on developmental issues with this system, and have investigated alternative options in relation to cloud-based learning management systems. An alternative system has now been licensed to the Company and will roll out in March 2016. As a result, the Company has recognised impairment charges of $3,672,783 for the entire value of the iCollege platform development expenditure asset.

(1) This represents the remaining cash consideration payable for the acquisition of Management Institute of Australia Pty Ltd (MIA) which settled on 1 April 2015. After an intensive and thorough review of MIA operations the iCollege Executive have discovered a number of inconsistencies with what was portrayed of the business prior to its acquisition. The board has taken the view that additional payments to the vendor of MIA are not justifiable given the inconsistencies discovered and has proposed that a formal mediation be held promptly to resolve these issues. Until that time any further payments and release of any shares currently held in escrow will be suspended.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the Members of iCollege Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of iCollege Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled during the half-year.

Directors Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of the Consolidated Entity, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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

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

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

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of iCollege Limited and Controlled Entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half year financial report which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $7,254,591 during the half year ended 31 December 2015. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the half year financial report.
