March Quarter Update

iCollege Ltd (“ICT” or “the Company”) (ASX: ICT) is pleased to provide commentary on its March quarter of operations, which saw the Company finalise a number of significant transactions. On 12 February 2018, iCollege completed the Manthano Limited (Manthano) acquisition, expanding the business' geographic scope as well as its revenue and course offering scale. The Manthano acquisition included, Sero Institute, Capital Training Institute and Incident Crises and Emergency Response Management (Singapore).

Immediately following the completion of the Manthano acquisition, the board and executive met to develop strategic priorities for iCollege. The following were decided upon as short to medium term goals:

  • Increase on-shore demand through increased international delivery.

  • Pursue vertical integration.

  • Deliver relevant & current courses using up-to-date delivery methods.

  • Develop appropriate government and industry relationships.

Under the leadership of the newly appointed managing director Mr. Ash Katta, the executive has focused on the delivery of the strategic goals set by the board during this planning session.

Following the Manthano transaction, iCollege finalised the deferred consideration with Mr. David Leigh-Ewers for the completion of the sale of Celtic Training & Consultancy Pty Ltd, fully satisfied by a cash payment of $250,000. Mr. Leigh-Ewers has now removed all security provisions over the Company.

A full restructure of staff across all divisions has been implemented to best leverage the shared services available to all businesses, this includes the implementation of a shared Student Management System (SMS) and a shared Learning Management System (LMS). This will help drive efficiencies and management reporting which will in turn lead to better informed decisions to be made regarding the business.

Doc ID 537018603/v1

Since the acquisition in February and in line with the strategic priorities set by the Board, iCollege has:

  • completed the financial integration of the Manthano business into iCollege and commenced the process of addressing its on-going costs;

  • announced the rollout of Information Technology Training ( ITT ), most specifically a joint venture to deliver Blockchain training at various levels of expertise. Marketing for this offering has commenced both in Australia and internationally; and

  • announced an MOU with the Alard Charitable Trust in India. The initial intention of the MOU is to deliver Australian hospitality training at the Pune Campus. It is expected that following successful implementation further courses will be offered. Negotiations to move this to a formal joint venture continue. It is hoped that this joint venture will deliver both overseas revenue in the form of overseas delivery of course material by iCollege, and also a channel for overseas students from Pune to study at iCollege's Australian campus' and thereby increase revenue from the company's Australian based facilities.

- Quarterly Cash Flow Commentary

  • The merged entity reflects the full operational activity of the Manthano acquisition with effect from 12[th] February, contributing $0.5M from receipts from customers. Cash acquired on acquisition totalled $1.3M;

  • Paydown of the company’s creditors contributed to larger cash-outflows from operations post acquisition;

  • Final Settlement payment of $250k on the final deferred consideration on the acquisition of Celtic Training & Consultancy Pty Ltd;

  • Next quarter activities to include Manthano operations for the full quarter.

Post-quarter activity

  • iCollege announced on 13[th] April the issue of new convertible notes to replace older convertible notes, issued on better terms and conditions. The new convertible notes provide iCollege with some time to build-upon the momentum gained to date, with a reasonable opportunity to pay-down the note prior to the conversion date;

Doc ID 537018603/v1

  • On 18[th] April a non-binding Heads of Agreement (HOA) to establish iStudy Australia (India) was signed which will serve as a student recruitment arm for international students wishing to study with iCollege institutions in Australia. This HOA is the first step in iCollege's plan to vertically integrate its operations. It represents a focussed and targeted approach to student recruitment as a channel into iColleges' Australian campus' while at the same time, reducing the cost to iCollege of student recruitment; and

  • On 26[th] April the Company announced the signing of an MOU with Birla Edutech which currently has 60 campuses across India. Birla Edutech is a subsidiary of the Yash Birla Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates. The MOU paves the way for a formal joint venture to be established by 30 June 2018. It is expected that the relationship with Birla Edutech will deliver overseas revenue in the form of overseas delivery of course material by iCollege, as well as providing a channel for overseas students from India to study in iCollege's Australian campus', thereby increasing revenue derived from the company's Australian based facilities. .

The board and executive of iCollege are looking forward to the formalisation of these agreements and extracting the benefits from the opportunities presented. iCollege will continue to focus on the strategic priorities, building a lasting and sustainable business and aim to demonstrate ongoing revenue growth quarter on quarter.
