ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2017

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 2017 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 2017 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.

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the interim reporting period beginning 1 July 2017.

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 $609,246 (2016: $1,176,686) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $72,222 (2016: $1,537,958). As at 31 December 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,442,702 (June 2017: $2,847,035). Included in this working capital deficiency is deferred consideration payable of $1,500,000 to the vendor of MIA. The board has taken the view that additional payments to the vendor are not justifiable given the inconsistencies discovered and will seek court judgement to cancel the liabilities under the shares currently held in escrow. The company was served with a writ during the period for a claim of $9,000,000 from the previous vendor. The Company is defending the claim and also counter-claiming against the previous vendor.

The ability of the Consolidated Entity 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 successful outcome of the claims identified above

  • The profitable operation of its core business units

  • 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.

ICOLLEGE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2017

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORTS (continued)

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 Loan of $125,000 with 90 days term is past due and the company is in continued negotiations with the holder on the terms of settlement. Should the loan be required to be repaid in cash, additional funds will be required to be raised to settle any such amounts;

  • As at the date of this report, convertible notes and loans totalled $650,000. The convertible notes are past due and the settlement is at the discretion of the holder. 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;

  • Have forecasted an improvement in operations following the restructuring of core business units, which they expect to generate profitable operations within the next 12 months;

  • The company is forecasting positive operating cash flows from the newly acquired entity Manthano over the next 12 months from the date of this report;

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

  • The successful defence of the legal claims currently in place with the previous vendor of MIA as disclosed in notes 4 and 8

  • Managing cash flows in line with available funds; and

  • If the Company is unsuccessful in any of the above, it will be required to immediately raise funds for its working capital requirements and settlement of its debt instruments 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 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.

Included in this amount is $1,500,000 for the remaining 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.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

As referenced to the Annual report it was disclosed that Legal proceedings have been commenced against Management Institute of Australia Group of Companies (MIA) in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

On 10 August 2017, Walker Enterprises (Australia) Pty Ltd (Walker) filed a Commercial List Statement in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Equity Division) seeking payment of the sum of $9,000,000.

Walker seeks recovery of the balance sale price alleged to be payable under a share sale agreement (SSA) for the acquisition by iCollege of 100% of the capital of certain MIA companies (Walker subsidiaries). These MIA Companies were subsequently placed into liquidation by iCollege following completion of the transaction. iCollege has defended the proceeding and filed an amended Commercial List Response. iCollege's defence asserts misrepresentations by Walker, breaches of certain obligations under SSA and inaccurate warranties in the SSA rendering each of the MIA companies of no value.

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

On 8 December 2017, the Court ordered Walker to provide security for iCollege's costs of the proceeding against it (excluding costs attributable solely to iCollege's cross claim). The amount to be paid by Walker by way of security was determined on Friday, 9 February 2018 in the sum of $231,000.

On 2 February 2018, Walker filed a Notice of Motion seeking Orders that iCollege provide security for Walker's costs of defending the cross-claim brought by iCollege. No final Order in respect of that Notice of Motion has yet been made and the Motion has been listed either for directions or hearing on 2 March 2018.

There have been no other material changes to commitments or contingent assets/liabilities to those disclosed in the 30 June 2017 annual report.

9. EVENTS OCCURING AFTER REPORTING DATE

Mr Ashish Katta was appointed the Managing Director of iCollege on 12[th] February. iCollege will be entering into an Executive Employment Agreement with Mr Katta.

During the year and subsequent to year end there were changes in the internal organisation of the Group, which included the appointment of Mr. Ashish Katta as managing director and CEO, and the appointment of Mr. Simon Tolhurst as non-executive chairman, both taking part in the first and second half of the financial year. This restructure has resulted in changes to the personnel who comprise the chief operating decision making function (CODM), where previously this function viewed the Groups operation as multiple business segment, the new chief operating decision making function reviews the information under one segment which is education services.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the Members of iCollege Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying 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 2017 , 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 period.

Directors Responsibility 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 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 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 2017 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 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 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 2017 and of its performance for the period ended on that date; and

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

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss of $609,246 during the half year ended 31 December 2017. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
