The Board and management of iCollege Limited (‘iCollege’) is pleased to update shareholders on the Company’s operational and financial performance for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 (‘H1 FY2021’). By almost every measure, iCollege has excelled and delivered a record financial performance.
iCollege generated record revenues of $8,822,964 during the half, a 26% increase on the previous corresponding period (‘PCP’) (H1 FY2020: $7,022,644). This includes $936,100 (30 December 2019: $Nil) in income relating to the COVID-19 Government Stimulus.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
==> picture [89 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Company also strengthened its balance sheet during the half through a successful placement which raised $5,500,000 through the issue of 55,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.10 per share before costs. This has delivered the necessary financial flexibility to pursue several organic growth initiatives and pursue strategic and complementary acquisitions. The Company has also continued to pay down debt through stringent cost management.
The net asset surplus of the Group has increased from 30 June 2020 by $6,552,558 to $2,902,025 at 31 December 2020 (30 June 2020: $3,650,333 deficiency).
As at 31 December 2020, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents increased from 30 June 2020 by $4,683,337 to $5,528,227 (30 June 2020: $844,890) and had a working capital surplus (excluding unearned revenue) of $2,884,979 (30 June 2020: $3,301,197 working capital deficit).
The steady and continuing growth in revenue and earnings has been driven by the strengthening performance of the Company’s domestic training operations and a steady contribution from iCollege’s international student business.
During the half, iCollege provided ongoing training packages to industries experiencing considerable skills shortages and the Company is set to be a key beneficiary of the State and Federal Government’s $1 billion Job Trainer fund which was set up as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. iCollege is very well positioned to take advantage of Job Trainer due to its unrivalled geographical footprint of established campuses and participation in a significant number of state government contracts.
Financial performance was also slightly enhanced due to the Company’s participation in three infection control programs initiated during the half. These included the ongoing roll out of a training program with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia to train staff at the Guild’s 5,800 member pharmacies across the country, a contract secured with WA’s largest aged care provider, Aegis Aged Care Group Pty Ltd to train 3,300 staff and an agreement with Canberra’s largest taxi company to provide mandatory infection control training to over 400 drivers.
In addition, ongoing domestic enrolments in existing course offerings in aged care, hospitality, building and construction, community services and healthcare added to the Company’s growing earnings profile.
International recruitment during the half was focused on international students who have remained in Australia due to border closures and travel restrictions. iCollege recruited offshore international students that could commence courses whilst living abroad, with a view to completing the remainder of the course once border restrictions are lifted. This initiative highlighted the Company’s ability to quickly adapt to the changing regulatory environment and to maintain steady international recruitment levels despite the uncertainty of international border closures. International enrolments accounted for 46% of revenue for the half year ended 31 December 2020.
iCollege expects further growth in the current half and beyond. The development of the Company’s new Perth training facility will be completed in the coming months which delivers another catalyst to build the revenue base. The campus is located in Bayswater, a short distance from the Perth CBD and across from the Bayswater train station, which is undergoing a $100m upgrade. Ongoing domestic and international enrolments are also expected to underpin its growth.

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The sector is ripe for further consolidation and iCollege is poised to achieve much greater critical mass.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
==> picture [89 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Half-Year Report covers iCollege Ltd ( iCollege or the Company ) and its controlled entities. iCollege is a public listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office is 205 North Quay, Brisbane City, QLD 4000. iCollege is a for-profit company for the purpose of preparing this Half-Year Report.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 29 January 2021 by the directors of the Company.
a. Basis of preparation
The Half-Year Report has been prepared on the historical cost and accruals basis except where stated otherwise.
The Half-Year Report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest half-year for iCollege Ltd and its controlled entities. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in combination with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020, together with any public announcements made during the half-year.
Where required, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial period.
b. Statement of compliance
The Half-Year Report is a general-purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The Half-Year Report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
c. Going concern
The half year financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of the business.
The Group recorded a profit after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2020 of $1,222,808 (31 December 2019: $107,805 loss) and as at balance sheet date, had a working capital surplus (excluding unearned revenue) of $2,884,979 (30 June 2020: $3,301,197 deficiency). Included in current liabilities is unearned revenue of $2,056,406 (30 June 2020: $2,694,588) which is not expected to be repaid and convertible notes of $650,000 which may be converted to equity.
During the year the Company successfully raised $5,500,000 (before costs) and based on cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
d. Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
The judgements, estimates and assumptions are applied in the consolidated financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the Members of iCollege Limited
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of iCollege Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
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 does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the iCollege Limited financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of iCollege Limited (Continued)

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the iCollege Limited 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 for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year 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 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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.
