4. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Investor,
Although the Joint Venture with FQM Exploration (Zambia) Limited ( FQM ) in Zambia has entered into the earn-in phase, and subsequently retains significant potential to add value to Chrysalis, the recent downturn in resource market conditions and the difficulty being experienced by junior explorers, including Chrysalis, to raise funds for ongoing mineral exploration has, after considering a number of other opportunities, initiated the acquisition of Peppermint Innovation Limited. The board believes that the proposed acquisition of Peppermint is an excellent opportunity to add value and retain substantial growth potential for the Company.
Accordingly, on behalf of my fellow Directors, it is with great pleasure that I present you with the opportunity to participate in the ownership and future growth of Chrysalis by way of the purchase of Peppermint, a mobile banking and payment platform developer and operator in the Philippines.
Peppermint was formed to take over the next stage of development of a mobile payment and banking technology business which had been developed and operated by TelUPay International Inc. ( TelUPay ) in the Philippines. To do this Peppermint secured an exclusive perpetual licence to carry on the development and commercialisation of TelUPay’s Technology ( TelUPay Technology ), it secured the key personnel who had been responsible for the development and maintenance of the TelUPay Technology and was assigned key service contracts where the technology was in operation currently in use by commercial banks in the Philippines.
With this team and these contracts Peppermint is now building a mobile banking, payments and remittance platform in the Philippines which incorporates the TelUPay Technology and includes a joint venture arrangement with a large agent network for a developing remittance business (the Peppermint Platform ).
The Board believes the Peppermint Platform is well positioned for commercial application with a highly qualified and experienced technical development and management team already in place to achieve its goals. Peppermint requires capital to fund marketing and incentive programs to accelerate the use of the Peppermint Platform. The immediate opportunity is that the Peppermint Platform will go beyond existing customers to provide a wide range of financial services via a mobile phone to the ‘unbanked' population. Such a tool will aim to promote financial inclusion to a large part of the Philippine population and this is a significant target.
On behalf of the board of the Chrysalis, I look forward to welcoming you as a shareholder in Peppermint Innovation Limited.
Yours sincerely
Neale Fong Non-Executive Chairman

5. INVESTMENT OVERVIEW
This Section is a summary only and is not intended to provide full information for investors intending to apply for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This Prospectus should be read and considered in its entirety.
| Item | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| A. The Company |
||
| Who is the issuer of this Prospectus? |
Chrysalis Resources Limited ACN 125 931 964 (ASX Code: CYS) is the issuer of this Prospectus. Chrysalis is an ASX listed public company in the business of exploration for gold, base metals and iron ore in Western Australia and Zambia. |
Section 8 |
| What is the intended Acquisition? |
On 21 May 2015, Chrysalis announced it had agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of unlisted public company, Peppermint Innovation Limited (ACN 600 876 024)) (Peppermint) (Acquisition). The Acquisition is proposed to be effected by means of a binding Term Sheet between Chrysalis, the Company and the Peppermint Shareholders under which Chrysalis has agreed, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions, to acquire 100% of Peppermint’s fully paid ordinary shares (Peppermint Shares) (Peppermint Offer). The Acquisition, once completed, will lead to a significant change in the nature and scale of Chrysalis’ activities. As a result, Chrysalis was required to obtain shareholder approval for (among other things) the Acquisition and re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. Shareholder approval was subsequently obtained on 2 October 2015. A summary of the key terms of the Acquisition is set out in Sections 14.1 . |
Section 8 and 14 |
| What is the purpose of this Prospectus? |

|---|---|---|---|
| . Business Model of Peppermint post-Acquisition |
|||
| Who is Peppermint? |
Peppermint Innovation Limited is a public unlisted company, which operates and is developing an established mobile banking, payments and remittance business with operations in the Philippines called the Peppermint Platform. It does this with a skilled team with experience building such a business who have the capacity to continue to develop new and innovative mobile phone applications in this field. Peppermint was formed to fund the next stage of the commercial development of a mobile payment and banking technology business which had been developed and operated by TelUPay in the Philippines. To do this: 1. TelUPay granted Peppermint an exclusive perpetual licence in 97 countries to carry on the development and commercialisation of its mobile banking and payment technology (TelUPay Technology) currently in use by commercial banks in the Philippines – along with a first right of refusal to acquire any other intellectual property rights granted in relation to the TelUPay Technology anywhere in the world; 2. Peppermint took over the key personnel who had been responsible for the development and maintenance of the TelUPay Technology to work and develop further technology exclusively for Peppermint; 3. Peppermint took over key service contracts where the TelUPay technology was operating; and 4. Peppermint entered into a joint venture arrangement with MyWepS International Inc. for the development of a remittance and mobile banking business in the Philippines. The Peppermint team is working with MyWeps to develop that technology on the basis that the rights to the IP developed by Peppermint are retained exclusively by Peppermint. With these key planks in place Peppermint is now focused on the commercialisation and development of the Peppermint Platform with banks, commercial clients, mobile money operators, money transfer and funds remittance companies, and microfinance institutions in the Philippines. Key Aims: One of the key aims of the Company is to provide a tool whichprovidesfinancialservicesfor the unbanked |

| population to access mobile banking and remit money to and from family and others through a system not tied to a particular bank or telephone company. Another key aim is to improve business practises and utility in difficult environments (like the Philippines to start with) and derive revenue for commercial clients and networks in the Philippines, through Asia, Europe and throughout the world as this technology is developed. |
||
| How will the Merged Group generate income? |
Peppermint will derive its revenue through commission on each transaction by a user of the Peppermint Platform and fees for the development and maintenance of the Peppermint Platform tailored to the needs of commercial clients. The Merged Group will generate income from existing service contracts with commercial banks and other commercial users of the Peppermint Platform which it will seek to build on with new commercial contracts Peppermint is bidding for. |
Section 8.4 |
| What are the key business strategies of the Merged Group? |
Peppermint’s key business strategies will be to focus on: � increasing commercial deployment of the version of the Peppermint Platform approved by the Filipino central banking authorities and currently being used by certain established banks in the Philippines; � the use of the Peppermint Platform to provide domestic and international remittance services initially through a domestic agent network with some 70,000 members/agents in the Philippines; � the development of mobile phone applications for major commercial clients; and � applying capital to marketing and incentive programs to accelerate usage of the Peppermint Platform in the Philippines and beyond. |
Section8 |
| What are the key dependencies of the Merged Group’s business model |
The key factors that Peppermint will depend on to meet its objectives are: � the continuation and growth of the key contracts which are already in place for the Peppermint Platform; � the success of the remittance program pilot; � the success of current development projects now under way with new commercial clients; and � the establishment of new customer relationships and entry into new customer contracts. |
Section8 |
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
10
| Item | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| What are the key benefits of the Acquisition? |
The Board considers that the key benefits of the Acquisition will be the chance for its shareholders to get exposure to a mobile banking, payments and remittance platform that is well placed to capitalise upon the increased growth around the world in mobile payments and banking, especially in the developing world. |
Section8 |
| What are the effects of the Acquisition? |
The effect of the Acquisition will see the nature and scale of the business activities of Chrysalis change with the Company proposing to focus on a mobile banking, payments and remittance business. The effect of the Acquisition is set out in the capital structure table in Section 9.7 and the pro-forma balance sheet of the Company set out in Section 12. The effect of the Acquisition on the Company’s risk profile, including the dilutive impact on the Company’s existing Shareholders, is set out in Section 10 (a summary of key risks is also set out in Section C below). |
Section 8 |
| C. Key Risks |
||
| What are the key risks of an investment in Chrysalis? |
The business, assets and operations of the Company are and will be subject to certain risk factors. These factors can impact on the value of an investment in the Securities of the Company. Set out below are specific risks the Company is and will be exposed to post Acquisition. An investment in Chrysalis should be considered highly speculative. Further risk factors affecting Peppermint are set out in Section 10. |
Section 10 |
| Licence Risk | Peppermint has entered into an exclusive perpetual licence to use the TelUPay Technology being used by a number of commercial banks in the Philippines. If TelUPay defaults in its obligations under the Licence, it may result in legal action. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms. The Company has no current reason to believe that TelUPay will not meet and satisfy its obligations under the Licence. |
Section 10.3(a) |
| Ability to attract and retain key personnel |
Peppermint’s success depends, to a large extent, on its ability to attract and retain appropriately skilled personnel. Peppermint is currently operated and managed by a small group of select team members. The departure, either temporary or permanent, of those key staff, or any delay in their replacement, could adversely affect Peppermint’s performance. |
Section 10.3(b) |
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
11
| Item | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| Similarly, as a company seeking to grow and expand, Peppermint’s success in securing new talent will be critical going forward and may be constrained for a number of reasons. Additionally, Peppermint relies on offshore team members. In the event that offshore employees cease to continue working with Peppermint, this could cause significant disruption to the operations of the business and would require Peppermint to find alternative employees. |
||
| Acquisitions and Partnerships |
Peppermint cannot control the actions of joint venture partners and therefore cannot guarantee that partnerships will be operated or managed in accordance with Peppermint’s preferred direction, strategy or risk management parameters. To the extent that acquisitions or partnership arrangements are not successfully integrated with Peppermint’s existing business lines, the growth and financial performance of Peppermint could be affected and, despite the terms of the relevant agreements, it may be impractical to enforce all of Peppermint’s rights (particularly if the partnerships operate overseas). |
Section 10.3(c) |
| Contracts | There is the risk that if counterparties default on their obligations, which may in turn necessitate legal action, there is a risk of significant financial loss for Peppermint. In some cases, the contracts that Peppermint has entered into may be governed in jurisdictions outside Australia. It may be more difficult to resolve disputes in such jurisdictions than it would be under Australian law. As such, Peppermint cannot ensure that an appropriate legal resolution will be achieved. |
Section 10.3(d) |
| Intellectual Property Rights |
TelUPay owns the source code now being used by the commercial banks in the Philippines which it has licenced to Peppermint. While Peppermint has systems and procedures in place to protect its content and information and has taken over the team that developed the source code, unauthorised use of the licenced intellectual property could have a negative impact on its operations and brand. There is a risk of third parties making claims of infringement of intellectual property against Peppermint. This could result in significant legal costs and negatively impact operations. |
Section 10.3(e) |
| Competition | The Merged Group’s market position and customer relationships may be affected by competitors. Although the Merged Group will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, it will have no influence or control over the activities or actions |
Section 10.2(d) |
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
12
| Item | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the projects and business of the Merged Group. |
||
| Limited Operating History |
The business has had limited operations and revenues to date in which potential investors can evaluate the business. Investors must consider all risks associated with and frequently encountered by companies operating in the same space, particularly companies involved in generally new, rapidly evolving markets. |
Clause 10.4(a) |
| Loss of Key Clients |
The business currently operates with a few key client relationships. Peppermint is expected to maintain current and establish new relationships through the continued enhancement of its products and solutions. In the event that these established relationships diminish or fail (including through a termination event arising under an agreement) the resulting effect may negatively impact the operating results of Peppermint. |
Clause 10.4(b) |
| Operations and management of Potential Growth |
Peppermint is working in a fast moving environment, engaged in business with multiple partners. Navigating these issues while effectively dealing with prioritisation, timing, execution, cost control, and other business decisions is likely to provide real challenges for its small management team. There can be no guarantee that successful execution of Peppermint’s strategy will make it profitable or commercially viable. Current product development and marketing strategies may not have the intended effect of increasing customers. Similarly, strategies to create value from customers of the application may not yield the expected revenue. |
Section 10.3(f) |
| Product Development |
Peppermint believes that it provides a meaningful and engaging offering. Moreover, in addition to its current products and services, Peppermint is planning to develop new products to suit the mobile banking, payments and remittance business it is building. Delays in product development, cost overruns, or difficulties in delivering new features will negatively impact the Company and its business. |
Section 10.3(g) |
| Reliance on core information technology, other systems and security |
Techniques used to gain unauthorised access to private networks are constantly evolving and Peppermint may be unable to anticipate or prevent unauthorised access to data pertaining to its customers, which could include credit card and debit card information, bank account details or other personally identifiable information. Peppermint’s service is vulnerable to computer viruses, phishing attacks or other attacks and similar disruptions fromunauthorized use of its systems, any of whichcould |
Section 10.3(l) |
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

| Item | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| lead to system interruptions, delays or shutdowns, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorized access to personally identifiable information. If an actual or perceived breach of security occurs of Peppermint’s systems, it may face civil liability and public perception of our security measures could be diminished, either of which would negatively affect Peppermint’s ability to attract or maintain customers. Peppermint also would be required to expend significant resources to mitigate any such breach of security and to address related matters. |
||
| Liquidity Risk | The Securities to be issued to Peppermint Shareholders on completion of the Acquisition will be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules. This equates to 39% of the post- Acquisition issued Share capital, assuming no further Shares are issued (other than the issue to Mr Leigh Ryan and DJ Carmichael) and full subscription under the Capital Raising. This could be considered an increased liquidity risk as a large portion of issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for a period of time. |
Section 10.4(e) |
| D. Directors and Key Management Personnel |
||
| Directors | After successful completion of the Transaction, the directors of the Company will be: � Mr Christopher Kain (Managing Director); � Mr Anthony Kain (Executive Director); � Mr Matthew Cahill (Non-Executive Director); � Mr Leigh Ryan (Non-Executive Director). The profiles of each of these individuals are set out in Section 9.1. Details of the personal interests of each of the above individuals in securities of the Company as well as annual remuneration are set out in Section 11.3.

Peppermint is a public unlisted company which conducts a mobile banking, payments and remittance business with operations in the Philippines which business includes an exclusive license to a mobile banking and payment business in the Philippines.
The Acquisition is proposed to be effected through agreements between the Company, Peppermint and each Peppermint Shareholder, under which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of Peppermint’s fully paid ordinary shares ( Peppermint Shares ), free from encumbrances, through the issue of 350,000,000 Shares and 100,000,000 Performance Shares in proportion to the number of Peppermint Shares held by each Peppermint Shareholder ( Peppermint Offer ).
Refer to Section 14 for a summary of the Acquisition Agreements between the Company and Peppermint in respect of the Peppermint Acquisition ( Acquisition Agreements ).
6.2 Consideration
The valuation and number of Consideration Securities to be issued to Peppermint Shareholders in consideration for the acquisition of Peppermint was determined through arm’s length negotiations between the existing Directors of the Company at the date of this Prospectus and the Peppermint Board.
In determining the purchase price for Peppermint, the existing Directors of the Company at the date of this Prospectus took into account the following considerations:
-
(a) the last prices at which Peppermint raised equity funding from third party investors;
-
(b) Peppermint’s future prospects based on the status of its revenue base and interest from third parties; and
-
(c) agreement between the parties as to the price at which an offer for Peppermint would be likely to succeed.
No formal valuation process in respect of Peppermint was undertaken through the engagement of independent advisers.
6.3 Conditions applicable to Acquisition
Completion of the Acquisition (and therefore the Peppermint Offer) is subject to a number of outstanding conditions precedent, including the following which may only be waived by mutual agreement:

| Employment agreements and ESOP |
Employment/consulting agreements to be executed with Chris Kain, Anthony Kain and Matt Cahill by completion and an employee share and option plan to be in place. |
6.4 Suspension and Re-admission to ASX
As the Company is currently in the business of gold, base metals and iron ore exploration, the merger with Peppermint, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s operations to a mobile banking, payments and remittance business.
ASX has indicated that this change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities will require:
-
(a) the approval of Shareholders; and
-
(b) the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company’s Shares will not be reinstated to Official Quotation until the Company has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and is re-admitted by ASX to the Official List.
Some of the key requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules are:
-
(a) the Company must satisfy the shareholder spread requirements relating to the minimum number of Shareholders and the minimum value of the Shareholdings of those Shareholders;
-
(b) the Company must satisfy the “assets test” as set out in Listing Rule 1.3; and
-
(c) the issue price of Shares must be at least 20 cents (however the ASX has granted a waiver from this requirement whereby the Company may offer Shares under the Prospectus at $0.02).
It is expected that the conduct of the Public Offer pursuant to this Prospectus will enable the Company to satisfy the above requirements.
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
20
Applicants should be aware that ASX will not re-admit or admit any Shares to Official Quotation until the Company re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and is re-admitted by ASX to the Official List.
In the event that the Company does not receive conditional approval for readmission to the Official List, the Peppermint Offer will be withdrawn and the Company will not proceed with the Public Offer and will repay all Application monies received by it in connection with this Prospectus (without interest).
6.5 Change of Name
It is proposed that the Company will change its name to ‘Peppermint Innovation Limited’ on completion on the Acquisition, which in the Company’s opinion will be better suited to the Company’s new direction. An overview of the Company’s business model after successful completion of the Acquisition is set out in Section 8.

As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the ultimate way funds will be applied.

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System ( CHESS ). ASX Settlement Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with holding statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The holding statements will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (if the holder is broker sponsored) or Security Holder Reference Number (if the holder is issuer sponsored) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of Securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further, monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month. Security holders may request a holding statement at any other time, however a charge may be made for such additional statements.

8. COMPANY OVERVIEW – ASSETS, FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
8.1 Business Overview
8.1.1 Chrysalis Resources Limited
This Section contains a summary of the Company’s activities. Further information can be found on the Company’s website, www.chrysalisresources.com.au.
The Company was admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 29 May 2008 under the name Chrysalis Resources Limited. Since listing Chrysalis has focused on the exploration for gold, base metals and iron ore in Western Australia and more recently copper and gold via its subsidiary Sedgwick Resources in Zambia. An evaluation of the exploration assets in 2013 initiated a divestment strategy for all Western Australian tenements and subsequently all WA licences have been sold or surrendered.
Copper and gold exploration in Zambia since 2012 resulted in the definition of a JORC compliant inferred resource within the Shikila Project, and identified numerous copper in soil anomalies and several broad low grade copper drill intercepts, but did not identify any economically viable deposit.
Subsequently, on 23 October 2014 Chrysalis entered into a legally binding letter agreement with FQM Exploration (Zambia) Limited ( FQM ) over the Shikila and Kabwima Projects in Zambia (refer to ASX announcement dated 18 November 2014). On the 17 July 2015, FQM satisfied all conditions associated with the Option Period of the Agreement and elected to advance to the “Earn-in” period with the aim of drilling certain prospects (refer to ASX announcement dated 23 July 2015). This drilling has now commenced (refer to ASX announcement dated 14 October 2015).
For the past six months, the Company has been evaluating alternative corporate opportunities, both in Australia and overseas, which have the potential to deliver strong future growth for Shareholders. This is consistent with the Peppermint Offer being made by the Company. An overview of the Peppermint Acquisition is set out in Section 6.1 above.
8.1.2 Peppermint Innovation Limited
Peppermint is an unlisted Australian public company, incorporated on 24 July 2014 focusing on the commercialisation and development of a proprietary mobile banking, payments and remittance technology designed for banks, mobile money operators, money transfer & funds remittance companies, payment processors, retailers/merchants, credit card companies, and microfinance institutions known as the Peppermint Platform. Peppermint currently operates the Peppermint Platform in the Philippines.

Peppermint –Current Business Snapshot
==> picture [426 x 302] intentionally omitted <==
* Please note TOP BANKS means the three commercial banks in the Philippines with whom Peppermint currently operates and the reference to Transactions is to the number of transactions on the platform (including failed transactions) reported by these banks.
Company Vision and Opportunity
Peppermint’s vision is to ramp up acceptance and knowledge of the Peppermint Platform so it becomes a trusted provider of mobile banking services in the Philippines and then to continue to develop the Peppermint Platform so that its use expands throughout Asia, Europe and the rest of the world.
Peppermint has a particular focus on the developing world (in the Philippines to start with) and on providing a tool attractive to the unbanked population to access mobile banking and remit money to and from family and others through a system not tied to a particular bank or telephone company.
It is estimated by the World Bank that “approximately 2.5 billion people do not have a formal account at a financial institution”.[ 1] Additionally the World Bank states ”up to three quarters of the world’s poor do not have a bank account largely due to costs, travel distance and paper work involved”.[ 2] According to the Scaling Mobile Money Report, released by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation et al., “this situation also arises because banks do not find it economically attractive to deploy banking infrastructure and staff bank

employees in poor and rural areas.[ 3] Branch penetration, for example, averages only two branches per 100,000 people in the poorest country quintile (compared with 33 in the richest)”.[ 4] Access to affordable financial services, such as those provided via a mobile phone, could be a contributing factor in overcoming poverty, reducing income disparities, and increasing economic growth.[ 5]
Just like mobile cellular networks has lessened the need for emerging countries to build out expensive landline infrastructure, mobile banking, payments and remittances could assist developing countries to leapfrog over the conventional bank account and debit/credit cards, straight to mobile wallets at a far lower costs and at much higher penetration rates in a shorter time period.
Competition - Peppermint is fully aware that there are many mobile banking technologies now in the world market place (take for example the platforms operated by ANZ, NAB and Commonwealth in Australia and by businesses such as M-Pesa, eServe Global Limited and Xoom Corporation) but the market is very large, is continuing to grow and the Board believes Peppermint is well positioned to grow with it.
Peppermint believes it can overcome the obstacles faced by many other mobile banking start-ups in this sector because of existing contracts and experience it has with its existing clients in the Philippines. Peppermint has sought to de-risk the commercial marketing phase by ensuring it has vested, captivated partners with proven channels to market. It is Peppermint’s view that these banks in the Philippines cannot grow their business in this sector through simply expanding their branch network and that they need to use mobile solutions to reach customers.
Peppermint also believes that the experience and knowledge it has gained from the Central Bank in the Philippines to provide a mobile solution to the Central Bank’s existing clients give it an advantage when expanding the Peppermint Platform into other areas such as remittances and other commercial applications for the Peppermint Platform.
The size and growth of the global mobile payments market, combined with increasing demand for digital banking products, underpins the opportunity for Peppermint to create significant company value over time, by harnessing an established technology, experienced management, skilled development team and low cost operations centered in the Philippines.

8.1.3 The Market: Mobile Payments and Banking Services
Market Size
Mobile commerce is a transformational enabler of financial interdependence across the globe. Opportunities are growing in the mobile payments landscapes as technology changes and adapts to an increasingly competent and technologically savvy business marketplace. Mobile banking and payment systems are a relatively young market and as cash and credit card uses are believed to be in decline, the Board believes the mobile payment market place will grow significantly.
In line with the financial inclusion policy of the World Bank that seeks to provide financial services to the “underserved and financially excluded (consisting of an estimated 2.7 billion adults in emerging markets), mobile telephony offers a tool that can bridge the gap between financial services and mobile phone usage.[ 6] The working poor, comprising 60% of the total labour force in emerging markets will particularly benefit from this financial arrangement. 7 According to the International Fund for Agricultural development, the use of mobile telephony for the access and use of financial services (money transfers, paying for services, making deposits, withdrawing money, consulting bank account balances, etc) is particularly useful in rural areas where 30-40% of remittances are transferred.[ 8] It is also highly accessible to rural workers who, under the traditional banking system, would have to travel long distances to be able to reach financial services traditionally located in densely populated areas.[ 9]
In a large part of the world – the developing world - mobile banking and payment processing equals financial inclusion, a state wherein there is effective access to a wide range of financial services. These financial services (savings accounts, credit facilities, debt payments, remittance and insurance), empower the unbanked population especially to manage their finances and lower the costs of financial transactions, improve security (allowing monitoring of financial transactions), increase banking accessibility, generate jobs and business opportunities, and improves conditions for business to grow.[ 10] The Board believes that financial inclusion (part of the G20 Action Plan for developing countries) supports broad-based economic development that can contribute to inclusive growth within a country.
Significant advances in the telecommunication industry are the major facilitator in the mobile banking and payments market especially in areas outside of urban centres in the developing world. The emergence of 3G networks throughout the world has helped increase the prevalence of mobile technology and increased the numbers of mobile telecommunication devices. Currently there are approximately 7.1 billion mobile phone SIM

connections globally[11] and in 2014 the global mobile transaction market value was USD392 billion.[12]
“Investors are viewing the integration of financial services into mobile phone usage in emerging markets as the next frontier for investment opportunities. Indeed, as far as financial transaction opportunities in developing countries are concerned, the market remains largely untapped.” Journal of Political Risk January 23, 2014[13]

8.1.4 Market Growth
The market for new mobile payments and banking services is still in a very early stage.
The critical drivers that will determine the market outcome in the coming years are predominantly consumer acceptance, merchant willingness to offer innovative payment solutions to clients and the strategy of incumbent financial institutions with respect to such solutions. The rising share of e- commerce via fixed-line or mobile internet and the prevalence of technologies linking the online and offline worlds such as near field communication (NFC) or quick response (QR) codes have sparked interest in new modes of payments. Mobile payment strategies are being developed by different players but have not yet taken off and the payments market is still in a state of flux.
The exceptional reach of mobile phones creates a large opportunity for mobile payment companies to capitalise on current infrastructure.

Additionally there are still many adults and young people the Board believes would benefit from the social and economic advantages of mobile technology but are simply unable to access it, which highlights a strong opportunity for future growth.
Two key areas that are expected to facilitate growth opportunities are the acceptance and use of mobile payments in money remittance networks and in the microfinance industry.
8.1.5 Market Growth Drivers
The Remittance Opportunity
Although remittance is not the only use of mobile banking, the large amount of funds being remitted into and within developing countries highlights a significant opportunity.
Remittance is the act of sending money either domestically within a country, or internationally across country borders which is now being driven by the global phenomenon of international migration with more people living outside their country of birth now than at any other time in history. Remittance payments are one of the most attractive reasons that consumers will use mobile payments. The mobile payment system is superior to carrying cash across a large distance, usually overseas, and is often more cost effective allowing both parties to reduce the amount of time spent on both sides of the transaction.[14]
The most recent brief from the World Bank states remittances sent by migrants to Developing World countries grew by 4.4% in 2014 to reach US $436 billion and are still growing.[15] Global remittance receipts in both developing and high income countries were estimated at $583 billion in 2014 and are also expected to keep growing.[16]
The average cost globally of remitting funds in the 4th quarter of 2014 was 8% of the funds sent.[17]

The act of remittance: This has traditionally been done by money transfer institutions who rely on a brick and mortar agent network to facilitate transactions where the sender and the receiver have to visit those locations to transmit and receive funds. In developing countries it is common for people to have to travel significant distances or face logistical factors that make sending or receiving money very difficult or impossible.
In this market mobile commerce is having an impact across the globe particularly in the developing world. This is happening because:
-
(a) “mobile technology can lower the cost of remittances, as it removes the need for physical points of presence and ensures a timely and secure method of transaction” presenting an opportunity to reach users previously inaccessible;[18] and
-
(b) mobile cellular networks have eliminated the need for developing countries to build out expensive landline infrastructure. Mobile banking, payments and remittances are assisting such countries to leap frog over the conventional bank account and debit/credit cards, straight to mobile wallets at a far lower cost with much higher penetration rates in a shorter time period.[ 19]
The World Bank notes that remittances are a critical source of external financing for many developing countries and probably the most stable source of primary or additional income for many households in those countries.[20] The importance of remittances goes beyond numbers.[21] For many households in developing countries, receiving remittances is their main contact with financial service providers.[22] These providers are also a

36
potentially powerful enabler of financial inclusion, and ultimately broader financial sector development, which contributes to inclusive and sustainable economic development.[23]
8.1.6 Microfinance
Microfinance is a source of financial services for entrepreneurs and small businesses lacking access to banking and related services. As noted above this lack of access to banks or credit and the ability to save and organise financial affairs is likely to inhibit the growth of an economy[24] and this is particularly the case in developing countries like the Philippines where it is estimated 8 out of 10 households do not have a bank account.[25]
Mobile phone penetration throughout the global population will help expand the reach of microfinance institutions, which currently struggle with high costs, particularly in hard to access rural regions. There is also the opportunity that mobile payments can help improve customer service from the onset of adopting the mobile banking trend. Mobile payments have already helped reduce costs for companies and individuals sending cash across the world and with quick and easy to use applications, mobile payment systems have the opportunity to transform the microfinance industry.
The ability to reach new markets and facilitate growth was demonstrated by M-Pesa in Kenya (a country with a current population of 45 million people). M-Pesa (mobile money in Swahili), for example, launched in Kenya in 2007 and was originally meant to be a mobile banking and payment service to enable Kenyans to repay micro-loans with ease but it quickly went beyond that to become a successful mobile banking and payment service. In its first three years of service M-Pesa went from zero to over 9 million subscribers. After its fifth year of operation (in 2013), M-Pesa had over 17.1 million subscribers and generated USD $252 million in net revenue.[ 26] Please note however, there is no guarantee that the Company will have the same or similar success with the Peppermint Platform.

8.2 The Peppermint Technology Platform and Product Offering
8.2.1 Mobile Banking and Payments
The Peppermint Platform offers a wide range of banking services conveniently done from the mobile phone.
Peppermint Mobile Banking Platform
==> picture [455 x 212] intentionally omitted <==
The Peppermint Platform is integrated to the core banking system or ATM operator to allow consumers access to a range of features including; Balance
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
38
Inquiry, Fund Transfers, P2P Transfers, Fast Cash, Mobile Phone Airtime Purchase (Top Up), Pay Bills, Favourites, Transaction History and Settings.
The application can be downloaded via the respective smartphone application store, or feature mobile phone users can have the application pre-installed via the mobile phone outlet store or telecommunication company at time of purchase.
8.2.2 Commercial Bank Application
Peppermints current bank-grade end to end encrypted platform is in use by three commercial banks in the Philippines.
The platform has been subject to security analysis via independent vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, as required by the Central Bank of the Philippines prior to commercial application, and now the platform operates on a commercial basis as a white label mobile banking application offered by those banks.
Peppermint continues to comply with the regulatory required and business imposed security protocols implemented by the banks as the servers that run this part of the Peppermint Platform are installed behind the bank’s security firewall. The servers are setup to communicate only with the bank servers through a secure channel.
8.2.3 The M-Wallet
==> picture [137 x 114] intentionally omitted <==
The M-Wallet, similar to a prepaid card is loaded with money prior to use, however the funds are held in a secure encrypted account that is accessed through a mobile device. The M- Wallet is a stand-alone, server-side, mobile account technology specifically designed for mobile operators, money transfer operators and other large network operators. The M-Wallet is a full-featured mobile account with all the
functionality and security (encryption) that is found in the mobile banking and payments service.
The low cost operation of M-Wallet accounts provides clients with the maximum flexibility in their marketing initiatives and customer acquisition/retention strategies.
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
39
Peppermint M-Wallet Platform
==> picture [455 x 212] intentionally omitted <==
Importantly this part of the Peppermint Platform can also service the unbanked community giving unbanked consumers access to an M-Wallet account upon enrolling in the service. The unbanked consumer can load their accounts with funds via an agent network, participating banks or other merchant encashment locations and can pay their bills, friends and family via this facility.
8.2.4 Remittance Platform
Peppermint’s remittance platform is a money transfer service that will allow a peer to peer transfer of funds within or across borders. Remittance senders evaluate the costs and benefits of money transfer services and two conditions are of paramount interest: low costs and accessibility of use for the sender and receiver. The use of mobile phones for sending and receiving money is seen as the best option for remittances due to its relatively low costs and accessibility.
To access the large Philippine remittance business, Peppermint and its partners have now created an agent network to penetrate and educate the market for domestic P2P remittances and through which international remittances can be terminated from strategic partners. Further preliminary discussions are now starting to occur between Peppermint and international remittance companies and organisations with respect to co-operation in relation to international remittances into and from the Philippines.

8.3 Peppermint Innovation Limited - Business Plan and Market Strategy
Peppermint is raising capital to fund marketing and incentive programs to accelerate the subscriber base build out and the Peppermint Platform usage initially in the Philippines.
The reason for the Philippines focus is that it is a developing country of circa 100 million people living on over 7,000 islands with real transport challenges (even in their capital city). This means access to traditional financial services can be difficult for a large portion of Filipinos’. It is estimated that thirty seven per cent (37%) of the Cities and Municipalities in the Philippines do not have a banking office and for many the closest bank or Money Transfer Organisation is a long car or boat ride away.[ 27]
The Philippines is also a country with 114.6 million mobile connections well positioned for increased uptake of mobile banking and payments with Government Central Bank support and encouragement to make this happen.[ 28] In 2014 smartphone penetration in the Philippines stood at 15% - the lowest rate in Southeast Asia - however, this is changing and a recent study by On Device

42
Research in the Philippines estimated Smartphone penetration will reach 50% in 2015.[ 29]
All this makes the Philippines an attractive target for Peppermint. It is a country which is the 3rd largest international remittance receiving country worldwide with USD$28 billion estimated from international inbound remittances in 2014 (10% of the country’s GDP comes from migrants sending funds home which exceeds the amount of international aid received by the country) and the widespread use of mobile remittance is not limited to international remittances.[ 30] Peppermint’s initial delivery of financial services via mobile phone to the unbanked population in the Philippines will target domestic remittances before leveraging into the wider domestic P2P payments market. Bankable Frontier Associates LLC estimated the value of domestic P2P payments in the Philippines to be USD3.2 billion in 2010.[ 31]
8.3.1 Commercial Application through Agent Network
To address the Philippine market by raising the awareness of and familiarity with the Peppermint Platform, Peppermint has entered into a joint venture agreement with MyWepS International Inc ( JV Agreement ). MyWeps is a specially formed vehicle focused on building a remittance business in the Philippines by the founder of 1Bro Global Inc. and 1Bro Express. 1BRO Global started as a Distributor in the Philippines of a loading business for Smart, Globe and Sun and expanded In order to meet the needs of customers/clients. Recently, 1BRO Global launched its unique business concept; 1BRO Express “a Division of 1BRO Global” which handles online ticketing (local and int’l flight), bills payment, money remittance, loading business and 1BRO privilege card (featured product of 1BRO Global) to its broad-based group of customers (www.1brophilippines.com).
Under the JV Agreement, Peppermint has agreed to provide the Peppermint remittance system and Peppermint services (at first on a pilot basis) for MyWepS to provide products and services to its direct members, agents, business branches, and other network partners and their respective members, located in the MyWepS network. 1Bro Global Inc., which operates 70,000 agents/members and 40 business centres across the Philippines is also a party to this agreement. Importantly, 50% of the population of the Philippines is located in urban areas which is where many of the 1Bro business centres are located.[ 32]
All the services, documentation and the system provided by Peppermint under the JV Agreement shall be deemed Peppermint confidential information which shall remain the property of Peppermint which cannot be reproduced, distributed, marketed, disclosed, reverse engineered, decoded, decompiled, disassembled, licenced, assigned, transferred or used or disclosed by MyWeps without the agreement of Peppermint.

Working with MyWeps International in a joint venture agreement signals the start of access to an established agent networks aimed at providing financial services to the unbanked population within the Philippines, initially targeting the domestic remittances before leveraging into the wider domestic P2P payments market via the established mobile platform in place developed by Peppermint for MyWeps.
As Peppermint looks to expand further within the Asian market the company will draw on established agent network relationships and knowledge to roll out like services aimed at overseas Filipino workers to capture share of the international remittances market.
The Board believes the Company is well positioned to do this with a highly qualified and experienced technical development and management team.
Key members of the Peppermint team have been working together in the Philippines mobile phone financial services sector for some time. Prior to 2009 when they first began developing the mobile banking and payment platform now being operated by Peppermint in the Philippines, they worked for one of the major mobile banking operators in the Philippines. This experienced technical development and management team are continually working on new innovations to address opportunities in the growing mobile banking and payment sector.
8.3.2 Commercial Application through existing Customers:
As noted above, in its existing operations with commercial banks in the Philippines, Peppermint has sought to de-risk the commercial marketing phase by ensuring it has vested partners with proven channels to market. Operating Peppermint servers behind bank firewalls to provide a mobile banking solution to
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
44
the public for those banks, Peppermint believes it is well placed to build that business with the banks to their established customer bases of which less than 10% currently use mobile banking. It is Peppermint’s view the banks cannot grow their business now through simply expanding their branch network and that they need to use mobile solutions to reach customers where:
-
(a) two out of ten Filipino households have a deposit account;[ 33]
-
(b) 37% of the Cities and Municipalities do not have a banking office;[ 34]
-
(c) even in the Philippine Capital Manila, the difficulty of travel makes performing every day traditional banking functions very difficult (for the people that have access to a bank);
-
(d) the Philippines market place is widely accepting of technology advances and is one of the fastest growing markets for smartphone penetration globally;
-
(e) the increased penetration of smartphones will help reduce costs and facilitate the run out of Peppermint’s diverse product range; and
-
(f) the Government is supportive in terms of the regulatory and policy framework to support mobile banking.
To drive take up of its mobile banking, payments and remittance platform, Peppermint in partnership with the commercial banks and clients shall launch focused marketing activities to increase awareness of how financial services provided via a mobile phone can be provided at a low cost and are accessible to almost all of those who own a mobile phone. From the work now going on with banks and clients, Peppermint plans to develop initiatives over time which is intended to be rolled out to include:
-
Customer-based incentives – designed to directly incentivise customers providing rebates from e-load purchases considered as the top income transaction in mobile banking services, and conducting promotions/contests (prizes, raffles, reward points etc.) for qualifying participants/contestants based on usage of mobile banking services.
-
Sales Team incentives (banks relations managers, account officers, agents) – mobile banking customer activations are monitored per the sales team providing individual/group rewards (gift checks, cash, trips) triggered by reaching sales targets.
-
–
-
Corporate (Payroll) Accounts Sales Blitz both Peppermint and the client teams set up booths at corporate premises and conducts information and promotional campaigns on mobile banking, with onthe-spot booth contests, providing bank and client giveaways (shirts, pens, fans, etc.). This is coordinated with the company concerned, targeting their employees as payroll accountholders of the banks and clients which are considered as the main target users of mobile banking and payment services.

8.4 How Peppermint Makes Money
Peppermint will make money in the following ways:
8.4.1 Remittances: Transaction based revenue streams
Remitting funds creates a commission payable by the person remitting on each transaction at the time of remitting (the average cost globally of remitting funds in the fourth quarter of 2014 was 8% of the funds sent).[35] Transactions going through Peppermint’s remittance platform will generate commissions which Peppermint will share with MyWeps or other agents relevant to that transaction in the future.
8.4.2 Existing bank customers: Commissions for use of The Peppermint Platform
As noted above, after approval by the Central Bank of the Philippines, part of the Peppermint Platform is now operating on a commercial basis as a white label mobile banking application offered by three large commercial Filipino Banks. As a result Peppermint is currently paid by a number of commercial Philippine banks and is entitled to the following in relation to the use of the Peppermint Platform by bank customers:
-
(a) Transaction Fees
-
(b) Eload Commission
-
(c) Bills Pay Commission
35 Source: World Bank Migration and Development Brief 24, 13 April 2015, The World Bank, paragraph 4, page 1 and paragraph 2, page 9.
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
47
-
(d) SMS Fees
-
(e) Special Project Fees
With only 100,000 users of the white label product from these banks (a very small portion of the target market in these Banks) generating 1,000,000 transactions a month currently, there is considerable room to grow this business.
8.4.2 Mobile banking platform: Fees for use – Transaction based
In addition to the Remittance Fees to be generated by the use of the Peppermint Platform, the use of the platform will also generate the following commission and fees when used for the following functions:
-
(a) Eload Commission
-
(b) Bill Pay Commission
-
(c) Fund Transfer Fees
Such fees will be shared between Peppermint and MyWeps or other agent who has captured this business in the future.
8.4.3 Special projects – Fees for development and maintenance
Where the solution provided by the Peppermint Team is customised for an individual commercial client based on the client's requirements and what the client wants to offer its customers or subscribers. Peppermint requires fees for the development, maintenance and servicing of the Peppermint Platform tailored to the needs of such commercial client. These fees will be based on specific project development and ongoing maintenance and service requirements.
8.5
Company Comparisons
Note: the following section is for example purposes only. The Company does not in any way intend to draw similarities to, nor does it make any guarantee that its proposed business will have similar success (or guarantee success at all). Investors are advised to consider the contents of this Prospectus carefully before making any investment in the Company and should otherwise consider seeking professional investment advice.
M-Pesa
M-Pesa, launched in 2007 by Safaricom, is the largest mobile network operator in Kenya and is now owned by Vodaphone. Originally designed to allow microfinance-loan repayments to be made using mobile phones thus reducing the costs of handling cash and allowing for lower interest rates, M-Pesa has now broadened its operations with almost 17 million users and is Kenya’s current mobile money payment system. In 2013, its fifth year of operation, M-Pesa recorded revenues of US$ 252 million, a value of $14.82 per user.
Upon entering the Kenyan marketplace the goal of M-Pesa’s marketing campaign was to assure the Kenyan community that mobile banking was a safe and secure way to transfer funds between two parties. In efforts to raise awareness and establish a market share M-Pesa also incentivized agents rewarding them per new subscriber and this advertising and marketing campaign saw the M-Pesa subscriber base increasing from zero to over 9 million users in its first three years of service.
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
48
Similarly to M-Pesa, Peppermint intends to make significant initial investments in marketing to facilitate user growth. However, because the Philippines market is comprised of participants more susceptible to changing environments, Peppermint believes it can build its business in that market at a discount in comparison to M-Pesa’s entry into Kenya.
MTN Mobile Money
Commercialising in 1994, the MTN group is a multinational telecommunications group, which has operations in over 20 countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The MTN group is listed on the JSE securities exchange under the code MTN. MTN group operates largely in the Uganda marketplace where it is looking to roll out the MTN Mobile Money Western Union International Transfer service and increase agent numbers to approximately 386,000.
Currently MTN Mobile Money allows registered users to send money to any MTN mobile phone user registered or not through any network. One can also withdraw cash from an authorised MTN mobile agent. MTN allows users to pay bills, transfer money and store cash with a particular focus on those who are unbanked. This allows registered users to pay bills, which previously were paid in person with cash at a location usually far from the registered user.
MTN Mobile Money is similar to the M-Pesa system operating in Kenya lacking the convenience of users being able to pay for products with their mobile. Peppermint offers a point of sale transaction terminal (mPos) which allows customer transactions to be documented by a smartphone or tablet instead of a traditional EFPOS machine. MTN lacks the diversified product range that Peppermint can offer, which fully integrates traditional banking features into one simple destination.
Monitise
With operations in the UK, USA and Asia Pacific, Monitise is an established mobile money company focusing on mobile payment services and applications. Monitise, listed on the UK stock exchange, was founded in 2003 as a means to fill a gap in the payments market by providing the opportunity to transfer funds over SMS and the internet. It is a mobile banking, payments and commerce solutions technology firm. Monitise has created an application platform that enables users to; send money to friends and family, pay anyone, check their account balances and purchase goods and services.
Similar to Peppermint, Monitise has strong partnership deals to facilitate growth in the m-payments industry, allowing companies to enter the technological space and grow their business. Monitise’s application allows firms access to bank grade systems and interoperability, whilst simplifying the complex mobile payments industry.
Monitise raised GBP $200 million over 5 years, and spent close to GBP $42 million developing their products and applications and getting their first client relationships. It is a testament to their current revenue streams of GBP $74 million in financial year 2013 supporting a market capitalization of GBP2 billion.
Xoom Corporation
A leading digital money transfer or remittance provider that allows consumers to send money, pay bills and reload mobile phones from the United States to 33
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
49
countries, including China, India, Pakistan, Mexico and the Philippines. The company was founded in 2001 and is based in San Francisco, CA, and has an office in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Xoom is a publicly traded company and was initially backed by venture firms including Sequoia Capital, New Enterprise Associates, SVB Capital, and Fidelity Ventures. On July 1, 2015, Paypal announced that it would be spending $25 a share in cash, or about $1.09 billion, to acquire Xoom Corporation.

10. RISK FACTORS
10.1 Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below (together with the Key Risks set out in Section 5), together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Securities and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
This Section identifies circumstances that the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company and which may have a material adverse impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares if they were to arise.
The Board aims, and will aim, to manage these risks by carefully planning the Company’s activities and implementing risk control measures. However, some of the risks identified below are highly unpredictable and the Company is limited to the extent to which they can effectively manage them.
The following risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. In addition, this Section has been prepared without taking into account offerees’ individual financial objectives, financial situation and particular needs. Offerees should seek professional investment advice if they have any queries in relation to making an investment in the Company.
10.2 Key risks applicable to Merged Group
(a) Re-quotation of Securities on ASX
The Acquisition is dependent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, which include (but are not limited to) completion of the Capital Raising and re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
Trading in the Company’s Securities will be suspended following the General Meeting and will continue to be suspended until the Company satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. If successful, issue of the Shares under the Capital Raising and relisting is anticipated to occur on or around 5 November 2015.
There is a risk that the Company may be unable to meet the requirements of ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares should the Company be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.
(b) Dilution risk
The Company currently has 345,484,128 Shares on issue. On completion of the Acquisition, the Company proposes to issue the relevant number of Securities to Peppermint Shareholders under the terms of the
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
58
Acquisition and issue Shares under the Public Offer to raise up to $4,000,000 as part of the Capital Raising.
Upon completion of the Acquisition and achieving the minimum subscription of the Capital Raising (assuming no further Shares are issued (other than the proposed issues of Shares to Mr Leigh Ryan and DJ Carmichael which equate to approximately 1% between them), the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 39% of the issued capital of the Company, with the Peppermint Shareholders holding 40% and the investors under the Capital Raising holding 20% of the issued capital of the Company respectively.
Upon completion of the Acquisition and achieving the maximum subscription of the Capital Raising (assuming no further Shares are issued (other than the proposed issues of Shares to Mr Leigh Ryan and DJ Carmichael which equate to approximately 1% between them), the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 38% of the issued capital of the Company, with the Peppermint Shareholders holding 39% and the investors under the Capital Raising holding 22% of the issued capital of the Company respectively.
If subsequently the milestones relating to the conversion of Performance Shares to be issued to the Peppermint Shareholders are met, and all of the Performance Shares convert into Shares, the interests of existing Shareholders will reduce to 35% (post Public Offer), assuming minimum subscription under the Capital Raising, and 35% (post Public Offer), assuming maximum subscription under the Capital Raising.
(c) Capital and Funding Requirements
It is intended that the Public Offer will provide for the Merged Group’s expenses in the immediate term. However, depending on the opportunities that arise for business development, the Merged Group may require further resources to achieve its aims going forward. Beyond its regular operating expenses, additional funding may also be deemed necessary to take advantage of acquisition, promotional or other business opportunities. These funds may come in the form of further investments or loans.
While the Directors believe that the Acquisition represents an exciting and attractive investment opportunity, the Merged Group may not be able to secure funding on acceptable terms. Its ability to raise further capital and the terms on which it does so may depend on economic conditions, the performance of the Merged Group and of the broader mobile banking and payment application industry at the time, and the risks associated with the intended use of the funds. If the Merged Group is unable to access these funds, or is unable to do so on acceptable terms, this could adversely affect the Merged Group’s position.
(d) Competition
There is a risk that the Merged Group’s business will not continue to be competitive and profitable in the industry which it operates over the long term. Increased competition from new and existing technologies and competition may result in a loss of market share which in turn may
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
59
have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating results and financial position.
There is a risk that third parties may develop or may have developed similar products to the ones that the Merged Group will offer that will compete with the Merged Group. The timeliness of technological development is a natural barrier that may defer the occurrence of such competition for a certain period of time.
In order for the Merged Group’s business to gain market share and maintain strong growth in any particular channel, the Merged Group must competitively price its products. Major alterations in the the Merged Group’s pricing model which adversely effects profitability may have an adverse impact on the Merged Group’s operating results and financial position.
As a supplier to a progressive consumer market, the Merged Group must develop new and innovative products in a timely fashion to maintain its market share and investor desirability. If the resources necessary to continue product development become insufficient effecting the Merged Group’s ability to maintain market share and competitiveness the Merged Group as a whole will be adversely effected. In addition, a failure by the Merged Group to identify opportunities for new products may also result in an adverse impact on the Company’s operating results and financial position.
The Directors and Proposed Directors believe that the Merged Group will provide an engaging and differentiated offering and that it has a competitive plan for growth. Nevertheless, there are a number of other mobile banking and payment application businesses that offer broadly similar services to Peppermint. There is also the potential for the size and character of that competition to change. The Merged Group will be competing against these companies for both customers and revenue. If it is unsuccessful in doing so, there will likely be a real material adverse impact on the Merged Group as a result.
10.3 Risks in respect of Peppermint’s current operations
(a) Licence risk
TelUPay has granted to Peppermint an exclusive licence to use the TelUPay Technology now being used by the commercial banks in the Philippines. If TelUPay defaults in its obligations under the Licence, it may result in legal action. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms. The Company has no current reason to believe that TelUPay will not meet and satisfy its obligations under the Licence.
(b) Ability to Attract and Retain Skilled Personnel
Peppermint’s success depends, to a large extent, on its ability to attract and retain appropriately skilled personnel. Peppermint is currently operated and managed by a small group of select team members. The departure, either temporary or permanent, of those key staff, or any delay in their replacement, could adversely affect Peppermint’s performance. Similarly, as a company seeking to grow and expand,
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
60
Peppermint’s success in securing new talent will be critical going forward and may be constrained for a number of reasons. The attraction and retention of key staff is determined by a broad range of internal and external factors, some more or less within Peppermint’s control, including, but not limited to, issues concerning: personal or health issues, company performance, public relations and branding, logistics and timing, the availability of IT staff in the market and macroeconomic factors.
Additionally, Peppermint relies on offshore team members. In the event that offshore employees cease to continue working with Peppermint, this could cause significant disruption to the operations of the business and would require Peppermint to find alternative employees. Finding alternative employees would take time in recruiting and training them on the product and getting them to a professional level where they could assist in running the operations of the Peppermint business and help to execute the Peppermint business plan. This would have a significant impact on the costs of running the Peppermint business and would likely delay Peppermint from achieving its objectives and business plan.
(c) Acquisitions and Partnerships
Peppermint plans to investigate and consider potential acquisitions and opportunities to enter into new partnerships that are consistent with its stated growth strategy. The successful implementation of acquisitions will depend on a range of factors including funding arrangements and technical integration. Peppermint may also enter into partnerships in the future.
Subject to the relevant partnerships, Peppermint cannot control the actions of joint venture partners and therefore cannot guarantee that partnerships will be operated or managed in accordance with Peppermint’s preferred direction, strategy or risk management parameters. To the extent that acquisitions or partnership arrangements are not successfully integrated with Peppermint’s existing business lines, the growth and financial performance of Peppermint could be affected and, despite the terms of the relevant agreements, it may be impractical to enforce all of Peppermint’s rights (particularly if the partnerships operate overseas).
(d) Contracts
Peppermint may enter agreements with counterparties. In such cases, there is the risk that counterparties default on their obligations, which may in turn necessitate legal action. This could result in significant financial loss for Peppermint. In some cases, the contracts that Peppermint has entered into may be governed in jurisdictions outside Australia. It may be more difficult to resolve disputes in such jurisdictions than it would be under Australian law. As such, Peppermint cannot ensure that an appropriate legal resolution will be achieved.
(e) Intellectual Property Rights
TelUPay owns the TelUPay Technology now being used by commercial banks in the Philippines. While Peppermint has systems and procedures
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
61
in place to protect its content and information, unauthorised use of its intellectual property could have a negative impact on its operations and brand. Peppermint also operates in a market where claims of infringement of intellectual property are common. There is a risk of third parties making claims of infringement of intellectual property against Peppermint. This could result in significant legal costs and negatively impact operations.
(f) Operations and Management of Potential Growth
Peppermint believes that it has attracted a highly skilled and experienced management team. However, Peppermint is a complex and dynamic business. Peppermint is working in a fast moving environment, engaged in business with multiple partners and operating in numerous geographies around the world. Navigating these issues while effectively dealing with prioritisation, timing, execution, cost control, and other business decisions is likely to provide real challenges for its small management team.
There can be no guarantee that successful execution of Peppermint’s strategy will make it profitable or commercially viable. Current product development and marketing strategies may not have the intended effect of increasing customers. Similarly, strategies to create value from customers of the application may not yield the expected revenue.
(g) Product Development
Peppermint believes that it provides a meaningful and engaging offering. Moreover, in addition to its current products and services, Peppermint is planning to develop new products to suit the mobile banking, payments ad remittance business it is building. There is also the risk that delays in product development, cost overruns, or difficulties in delivering new features will negatively impact the Company and its business.
(h) Consistency of Supply
Product shortages and prolonged delays in delivery may jeopardise Peppermint’s ability to supply tangible products and therefore fulfil contractual obligations to customers and distributors. Peppermint will continually adapt its inventory control processes as necessary to mitigate the effect of any supply shortages that may be encounter.
(i) Maintenance of Reputation and Brand
Peppermint is seeking to continue to be a major mobile banking, payment and remittance business. Usage and engagement with the Peppermint products and services have the potential to be significantly affected by popular consumer sentiment. As such, Peppermint’s exposure to public relations issues and threats to its reputation and brand name may be greater than for other businesses.
(j) Dependence on other technological providers
As a mobile banking and payment application business, Peppermint will maintain and rely extensively on information technology systems and
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
62
network infrastructures for the effective operation of its business. As with any product that is dependent on technological systems if the integrity of Peppermint’s products fails to meet its clients’ expectations (whether or not through any fault of Peppermint), Peppermint’s reputation could suffer.
PEP is heavily reliant on the operations of telecommunications networks for the provision of PEP’s services to the marketplace concerned. Should any of these relationships or agreements terminate or become strained for any reason that would have a negative impact on our operations and business development plans.
(k) Insurance
While Peppermint has sought to be insured in a way that is in keeping with industry practices, there is the risk of an event occurring that is not fully covered by insurance. This may cause significant financial and material loss to Peppermint. Furthermore, there is the risk that Peppermint’s insurer fails to respect a legitimate claim made by Peppermint.
(l) Reliance on Core Information Technology, Other Systems and Security
As a mobile banking and payment application business, Peppermint will maintain and rely extensively on information technology systems and network infrastructures for the effective operation of its business. It is also dependent on reliable telecommunication and information technology provision by third parties. As with any product that is dependent on technological systems if the integrity of Peppermint’s products fails to meet its clients’ expectations (whether or not through any fault of Peppermint), Peppermint’s reputation could suffer.
Techniques used to gain unauthorised access to private networks are constantly evolving and Peppermint may be unable to anticipate or prevent unauthorised access to data pertaining to its customers, which could include credit card and debit card information, bank account details or other personally identifiable information. Peppermint’s service is vulnerable to computer viruses, phishing attacks or other attacks and similar disruptions from unauthorized use of its systems, any of which could lead to system interruptions, delays or shutdowns, causing loss of critical data or the unauthorized access to personally identifiable information. If an actual or perceived breach of security occurs of Peppermint’s systems, it may face civil liability and public perception of our security measures could be diminished, either of which would negatively affect Peppermint’s ability to attract or maintain customers. Peppermint also would be required to expend significant resources to mitigate any such breach of security and to address related matters.
(m) International Expansion
Peppermint’s products and services are used in the Philippines but in the future intends to expand into other countries. It may therefore likely be subject to multiple overseas jurisdictions. In each different jurisdiction there may be increased compliance and operating costs. If and when it becomes necessary to have a local presence in overseas markets there will be increased overheads as well as development and marketing
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
63
costs. There is no guarantee such expansions will be successful and increased costs may adversely impact the profitability and working capital of Peppermint.
(n) Unforeseen Expenditure
If Peppermint’s expenses are greater than anticipated due to fluctuation in market prices or any factors which have not been taken into account during the development of this Prospectus, then it will have fewer funds with which to pursue its plan of operations and financing requirements will be greater than anticipated.
10.4 General Risks Relating to Merged Group
(a) Limited Operating History
The business has had limited operations and revenues to date in which potential investors can evaluate the business. Investors must consider all risks associated with and frequently encountered by companies operating in the same space, particularly companies involved in generally new, rapidly evolving markets.
(b) Loss of key clients
The business currently operates with a few key client relationships. Peppermint is expected to maintain current and establish new relationships through the continued enhancement of its products and solutions. In the event that these established relationships diminish or fail (including through a termination event arising under an agreement) the resulting effect may negatively impact the operating results the Peppermint.
(c) Reliance on Key Management
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Merged Group depends substantially on its senior management and directors. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the performance of the Merged Group or its growth potential if one or more of these employees cease their employment and suitable replacements are not identified and engaged in a timely manner. The Merged Group does not have any present intention to obtain “key person” insurance for any member of its management.
(d) Economic Risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Merged Group’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
(i) general economic outlook;
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
64
- (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
(iii) currency fluctuations;
(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
(e) Liquidity
If and when the Merged Group’s Shares are made open for trading, the market may not be liquid. Prior to the Public Offer the subject of this Prospectus, there has been no public market in the shares of Peppermint. Once the Merged Group’s Shares are quoted on the ASX, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less than the price the Shareholders paid.
(f) Shareholder Dilution
In the future, the Merged Group may elect to issue Shares or engage in fundraisings and also to fund, or raise proceeds, for acquisitions. While the Merged Group will be subject to the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules regarding the percentage of capital that it is able to issue within a 12 month period (other than where exceptions apply), Shareholders may be diluted as a result of such Shares and fundraisings.
(g) Legal Environment and Sovereign Risk
Peppermint currently conducts its operations in the Philippines with intentions to develop its business through Asia, Europe and through other parts of the world in future.
While Australia is a stable and developed legal environment, there are still a range of sovereign risks that may adversely affect the performance of the Merged Group. These include, but are not limited to: changes to privacy, taxation, accounting, employment, licensing, exchange control or other legislation.
Particularly, over recent years, there has been an increased regulatory and public focus on the use of private information, especially how private information is collected and used for commercial purposes. Any further changes to laws and regulations governing the use of this information could result in an adverse impact on the markets in which Peppermint operates and in its business, including its forecast revenues, profit margins, and compliance costs.
Peppermint’s products and services are also used in numerous other countries and will be subject to the local laws and regulations where they apply. Some of the countries in which Peppermint’s products and
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
65
services are used represent emerging markets and/or less stable legal environments. This may involve risks related to the regularity, speed, transparency and expectations surrounding Government action, ease of gaining fair representation in court and clarity and consistency of the legal framework.
Working in changing, complex and multiple regulatory environments involves a set of risks. These include the risk that the Merged Group may fail to comply with laws or regulations or that laws or regulations may have unintended consequences or are open to interpretations that increase the risk of non-compliance. In addition, there is a risk that the Merged Group may fail to implement procedures within the statutory timeframes to ensure that it can provide services which comply with the introduction of these new laws and regulations.
Any substantial failure by the Merged Group to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in cessation of part or all of its operations, restriction on its ability to carry out operations, fines, penalties or other liabilities to customers, suppliers or third parties. Compliance failure could also damage the Merged Group’s reputation and reduce the attractiveness of its products and services.
(h) Going Concern
Peppermint’s ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon obtaining financing for planned operations. There can be no assurance that those funds will be raised, or if we are able to raise funds that such funds will be in the amounts required or on terms favourable to the Company.
(i) Force Majeure
The Merged Group and its projects, now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Merged Group including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
10.5 This investment is highly speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above risk factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may materially affect the future financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities. The Company does not expect to declare any dividends during the first two years following completion of the Transaction (see further Section 9.6).

3. Scope
Historical financial information
You have requested RSM Bird Cameron Corporate Pty Ltd to review the following historical financial information of Chrysalis (“the responsible party”) and Peppermint included in the Prospectus at Appendix A to this Report:
-
the statement of comprehensive income of Chrysalis for the years ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013;
-
the statement of comprehensive income of Chrysalis for the year ended 30 June 2015 and the statement of comprehensive income of Peppermint for the financial period from 24 July 2014 to 30 June 2015; and
-
the statements of financial position as at 30 June 2015 of both Chrysalis and Peppermint.
The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and Chrysalis’s and Peppermint’s adopted accounting policies. The historical financial information has been extracted from:
-
the financial report of Chrysalis for the years ended 30 June 2013, 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015 which was audited by another auditor in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. The auditor issued an unqualified audit opinion on the 30 June 2013, 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015 financial reports. The 30 June 2015 audit report included an emphasis of matter in respect of material uncertainty regarding Chrysalis’s ability to continue as a going concern and the consequential need for Chrysalis to seek additional funding; and
-
the financial report of Peppermint for the financial period from 24 July 2014 to 30 June 2015, which was audited by RSM Bird Cameron Partners in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. RSM Bird Cameron Partners’ audit report included an emphasis of matter in respect of material uncertainty regarding Peppermint’s ability to continue as a going concern and the consequential need for Peppermint to seek additional funding.
The historical financial information is presented in the Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 .
Pro forma historical financial information
You have requested RSM Bird Cameron Corporate Pty Ltd to review the pro forma historical the statement of comprehensive income of Chrysalis and Peppermint for the year ended 30 June 2015 and the statement of “ ” financial position as at 30 June 2015 referred to as the pro forma historical financial information .
The pro forma historical financial information has been derived from the historical financial information of Chrysalis and Peppermint, after adjusting for the effects of the pro forma adjustments described in Note 1 of Appendix A of this Report. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the events or transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in Note 1 of Appendix A of this Report, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the pro forma historical financial information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position or financial performance, and/or cash flows.
Page 2 of 20
4. Directors’ responsibility
The Directors of Chrysalis and Peppermint are responsible for the preparation of the historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information, including the selection and determination of pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial information and included in the pro forma historical financial information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
5. Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the financial information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained. We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and / or Prospective Financial Information .
A review consists of making such enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. Our procedures included:
-
a consistency check of the application of the stated basis of preparation, to the historical and pro forma historical financial information;
-
a review of Chrysalis’s and Peppermint’s work papers, accounting records and other documents;
-
enquiry of directors, management personnel and advisors;
-
consideration of the subsequent events and pro forma adjustments described in Note 1 of Appendix A of this Report and the Prospectus; and
-
the performance of analytical procedures applied to the historical and pro forma historical financial information.
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 reasonable 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.
6. Conclusions

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the historical financial information, as described in Appendix A to this Report, and comprising:

CHRYSALIS RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL AND PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS AT 30 JUNE 2015
1. Introduction
The financial information set out in this Appendix consists of the statements of comprehensive income of Chrysalis for the two years year ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013, (“the historical financial information”) together with a pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and pro forma consolidated statements of comprehensive income reflecting the Directors’ pro forma adjustments (“the pro forma consolidated financial information”).
The pro forma consolidated financial information has been compiled by adjusting the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 and consolidated statement of comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2015 for the impact of the following adjustments.
Adjustments adopted in compiling the pro forma historical financial information
The pro forma historical statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015 has been prepared by adjusting the audited statement of financial position of Chrysalis as at 30 June 2015 and the audited statement of financial position of Peppermint as at 30 June 2015, to reflect the financial effects of the following subsequent events which have occurred in the period since 30 June 2015 and the date of this report:
-
Loans and borrowings payable by Peppermint were converted into equity in Peppermint in full settlement of the loan liability of $507,197;
-
The company entered into a financing arrangement to fund expenses and working capital between the pro forma balance date and completion of the Capital Raising (“Finance Facility”). At the date of this Prospectus $130,000 had been drawn down to pay trade and other payables;
and the following pro forma transactions which are yet to occur, but are proposed to occur following completion of the Acquisition and the Capital Raising.
-
The acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Peppermint through the issue of 350,000,000 ordinary fully paid Chrysalis shares and 100,000,000 Performance Shares;
-
Completion of the Capital Raising through the issue of 175,000,000 ordinary Chrysalis shares at $0.02 each, to raise $3,500,000 pursuant to the Prospectus;
-
The issue of up to 3,250,000 ordinary Chrysalis Shares to DJ Carmichael Pty Ltd (or its nominees) (“DJC”) in consideration for DJC and its nominees to assist the Company in achieving its strategic objectives in relation to the Capital Raising;
-
The issue of 2,000,000 ordinary Chrysalis Shares to a Director;
-
The payment of $405,000 of cash costs related to the Capital Raising; and
-
Repayment of the drawn Finance Facility.
The pro forma consolidated financial information has been presented in abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures usually provided in an Annual Report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

CHRYSALIS RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL AND PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS AT 30 JUNE 2015
Basis of Preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs), adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The significant accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the Pro forma Consolidated Financial Information are:
(b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss , which are measured at fair value.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.
(d) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 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.
(e) Going concern
The historical and pro forma financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
(f) Reverse acquisition accounting
The proposed acquisition of Peppermint (the legal subsidiary) by Chrysalis (the legal parent) is deemed to be a reverse acquisition, since the substance of the transaction is such that the existing shareholders of Peppermint will obtain control of Chrysalis.
AASB 3 Business Combinations (AASB 3) sets out the accounting principles to be followed in a reverse acquisition transaction. However, the Directors have concluded that Chrysalis does not meet the definition of a business as prescribed in AASB 3 and, as such, it has been deemed that the Acquisition cannot be accounted for in accordance with the guidance set out in AASB 3.
Therefore, consistent with the accepted practice for transactions similar in nature to the Acquisition, the Company has accounted for the Acquisition in the consolidated financial statements of the legal acquirer (Chrysalis) as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal acquiree (Peppermint), together with a share based payment measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments (AASB 2), which represents a deemed issue of shares by the legal acquiree (Peppermint), equivalent to the current shareholders interest in Chrysalis post the Acquisition. The excess of the assessed value of the share based payment over the pro forma net assets of Chrysalis as at 30 June 2015 has been expensed to the income statement as a listing fee.

– Appendix A Historical and pro forma financial information
CHRYSALIS RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL AND PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
AS AT 30 JUNE 2015
Further disclosure on the adopted accounting treatment for the Acquisition is set out at Note 6.
(g) Principals of consolidation
The historical and pro forma financial information incorporates the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Chrysalis (''company'' or ''parent entity'') and Peppermint as at 30 June 2015
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.
(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(iii) Loss of control
On the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently that retained interest is accounted for as an equity accounted investee or as an availablefor-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.
(h) Revenue recognition
(iv) Services
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns and discounts. Revenue is derived from various products and services which are accounted for differently. The method used is selected on the basis of that which best represents the nature of the contract.
Revenue from licence sales of software products is recognised when all of the risks and rewards have been transferred to the customer, usually only after the delivery, installation and client acceptance of the products.
Revenue derived from support activities is recognised on a straight-line basis over the support period.
Revenue relating to a contractual arrangement to develop customised software is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date.
Revenue derived through licensing agreements is recognised on a straight-line basis over the licensing period.
(v) Government grants
An unconditional government grant is recognised in profit or loss as other income when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant.
Page 10 of 20
– Appendix A Historical and pro forma financial information
CHRYSALIS RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL AND PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS AT 30 JUNE 2015
(vi) Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
(i) Research and development costs
Research costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, except to the extent that such costs, together with unamortised deferred costs in relation to that project are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to be recoverable.
Any deferred development costs are amortised over the period in which the corresponding benefits are expected to arise.
The unamortised balance of development costs deferred in previous periods is reviewed regularly and at each reporting date, to ensure the criterion for deferral continues to be met. Where such costs are no longer considered recoverable, they are written-off as expenses in profit or loss.
Government grants received or receivable in relation to development costs, which are deferred, are deducted from the carrying amount. Grants and income tax offsets received or receivable in relation to research and development costs that are recognised as an expense during the current or previous periods, to the extent they are eligible for income tax purposes, are recognised as revenue.
(j) Share-based payment transactions
The Company provides benefits to employees and other parties in the form of share based payments, whereby the employees and parties provide services in exchange for shares and other securities in the Company. The cost of the equity settled share based payment transactions is determined by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted assessed in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments.
The fair value of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance/ and or service conditions are fulfilled (vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:
-
(i) The grant date fair value;
-
(ii) The extent to which the vesting period has expired; and
-
(iii) The number of equity instruments that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, will ultimately vest.
This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.
No expense is recognised for equity instruments that do not ultimately vest, except for equity instruments where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Page 11 of 20
– Appendix A Historical and pro forma financial information
CHRYSALIS RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL AND PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS AT 30 JUNE 2015
(k) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax expenses are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
(i) Tax consolidation
Current tax expense / income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the taxconsolidated group using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.
Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised by the Company as amounts payable (receivable) to / (from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts (refer below). Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution.
The head entity recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.
(l) Determination of fair value
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
Page 12 of 20
– Appendix A Historical and pro forma financial information
CHRYSALIS RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL AND PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS AT 30 JUNE 2015
(i) Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value is determined at initial recognition and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date.
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value is measured at initial recognition and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date. Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
(iii) Share-based payments
The fair value of equity settled share based payment transactions is determined with reference to recent share issues for cash consideration in arm’s length transactions.
The fair value of employee share options is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include the share price on the measurement date, the exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility, expected term of the instrument (based on historic experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the riskfree interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

2. Reverse acquisition
The proposed acquisition of Peppermint (the legal subsidiary) by Chrysalis (the legal parent) is deemed to be a reverse acquisition as the substance of the transaction is such that the existing shareholders of Peppermint will obtain control of Chrysalis. However, Chrysalis is not considered to meet the definition of a business under AASB 3 Business Combinations (AASB 3) and, as such, it has been concluded that the Takeover Offer cannot be accounted for in accordance with the guidance set out in AASB 3. Therefore, consistent with the accepted practice for transactions similar in nature to the Takeover Offer, we have accounted for the acquisition in the consolidated financial statements of the legal acquirer (Chrysalis) as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal acquiree (Peppermint), together with a share based payment measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments (AASB 2), which represents a deemed issue of shares by the legal acquiree (Peppermint), equivalent to current shareholders interest in Chrysalis post the acquisition. The excess of the assessed value of the share based payment over the net assets of Chrysalis has been expensed to the income statement as a listing fee.
Chrysalis (legal parent, accounting acquiree) will issue 350,000,000 ordinary shares and 100,000,000 Performance Shares to Peppermint’s shareholders who, as a result, will own approximately 50.3%[1] of the combined entity at settlement of the Acquisition prior to the Capital Raising. The remaining 49.7% will be owned by the current shareholders of Chrysalis.
As there is no current market for Peppermint shares, the fair value of 100% of Chrysalis is assessed as $6,909,683 based on 345,484,128 Chrysalis shares on issue at 2 cents each immediately prior to the acquisition.
Consequently, a listing expense of $5,556,283 has been expensed to the income statement which represents the excess of the deemed fair value of the share based payment less the pro forma net assets of Chrysalis of $1,353,400 as at 30 June 2015, immediately prior to settlement of the acquisition, as set out below.

13. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
13.1 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations
The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company’s needs.
To the extent applicable, the Company has adopted The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council ( Recommendations ).
The Board seeks, where appropriate, to provide accountability levels that meet or exceed the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations. Details on the Company’s corporate governance procedures, policies and practices can be obtained from the Company website at www.chrysalisresources.com.au.
Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:
-
(a) maintain and increase Shareholder value;
-
(b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company’s conduct and activities; and
-
(c) ensure compliance with the Company’s legal and regulatory objectives.
Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:
-
(a) developing initiatives for profit and asset growth;
-
(b) reviewing the corporate, commercial and financial performance of the Company on a regular basis;
-
(c) acting on behalf of, and being accountable to, the Shareholders; and
-
(d) identifying business risks and implementing actions to manage those risks and corporate systems to assure quality.
The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors’ participation in the Board discussions on a fully-informed basis.

Composition of the Board
Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting. However, subject thereto, the Company is committed to the following principles:
-
(a) the Board is to comprise Directors with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the Company and its business; and
-
(b) the principal criterion for the appointment of new Directors is their ability to add value to the Company and its business.
The Board has appointed a Nomination and Remuneration Committee ( Committee ) and established a Charter for the Committee which includes the identification and recommendation of potential director appointments. Where a casual vacancy arises during the year, the Committee has procedures to select the most suitable candidate with the appropriate experience and expertise to ensure a balanced and effective Board. Any director appointed during the year to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the current Board, holds office until the next General Meeting and is then eligible for re-election by the shareholders.
It is proposed that, whilst there are four directors of the Company, all directors will be members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee with one to be appointed as the chair of the Committee, if the Transaction is successfully completed.
Ethical standards
The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.
Independent professional advice
Subject to the Chairman’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company’s expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.
Remuneration arrangements
The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director.
Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.
Trading policy
The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (i.e. Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the managing
==> picture [454 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
91
director). The policy generally provides that written notification to the Chairman must be obtained prior to trading.
External audit
The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.
Audit and risk committee
The Board has established an audit and risk committee ( Audit and Risk Committee ) as part of its Corporate Governance Charter. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring the risks and opportunities are identified on a timely basis. To achieve this, the Audit and Risk Committee will implement a risk system which allows for the regular monitoring of identified risk areas and performance against the activities to minimise or control these identified risks.
The Audit and Risk Committee’s purpose is to provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and monitoring responsibility in relation to the Company’s risks associated with the integrity of financial reporting, internal control systems and external audit functions.
It is proposed that, whilst there are only four directors of the Company, all directors will be members of the Audit and Risk Committee with one to be appointed as the chair of the Committee, if the Transaction is successfully completed.
Diversity Policy
The Board has adopted a diversity policy which provides a framework for the Company to achieve, amongst other things, a diverse and skilled workforce, a workplace culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of all staff, improved employment and career development opportunities for women and a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
13.2 Departures from Recommendations
The Company’s compliance and departures from the Recommendations will be announced to ASX prior to the Company’s re-instatement to trading.
Following re-admission to the Official List of ASX, the Company will be required to report any departures from the Recommendations in its annual financial report.

15.3 Terms of Performance Shares
The terms of Performance Shares are as follows:
- (a) The Performance Shares shall be issued on completion and each one (1) Performance Share is convertible into one (1) fully paid ordinary share in the capital of Chrysalis, upon the following milestones being achieved:
| Event / Milestones | Performance Shares converted |
|---|---|
| Milestone 1: Chrysalis or its subsidiaries generating cumulative revenue of $15,000,000 from the Mobile Banking Payments Remittance Business (MBPRB) within 5 years of the date of the Agreement |
50,000,000 |
| Milestone 2: Chrysalis or its subsidiaries generating cumulative revenue of $50,000,000 from the MBPRB within 5 years of the date of the Agreement |
50,000,000 |
- (b) The Performance Shares shall not convert into ordinary shares until such time as the milestones referred to above have been satisfied unless there is a Change of Control of Chrysalis before the milestones referred to above have been achieved. Change of Control means a bidder announcing pursuant to Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act that it has received acceptances of more than 50% of the Chrysalis shares on issue and the bid has become unconditional OR the Court granting orders approving a compromise or scheme of arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement under which all shares are to be either cancelled or transferred to a third party (not a scheme of arrangement for the purposes of a corporate restructure) ( Change of Control ).
(c) In the event of a Change of Control all the Milestone 1 Performance Shares and the Milestone 2 Performance Shares shall convert.

102
-
(d) If the milestones are not achieved, or not achieved within the expiry dates, the Performance Shares for a particular tranche will be redeemed for a total nominal sum of AUD $1.00.
-
(e) If the issue of Performance Shares would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act the conversion of each Performance Share that would cause the contravention shall be deferred until such time or times thereafter that the conversion would not result in a contravention of section 606 (1) of the Corporations Act. Where such conversion is deferred for 5 years from the date of the Agreement, the Performance Shares shall be redeemed as stated in (d) above.
-
(f) Notwithstanding the other terms, the issue of Performance Shares on a Change of Control shall be limited to 10% of the total shares on issue in the capital of Chrysalis as at the date of the Change of Control. Where not all Performance Shares are converted because of the application of this paragraph, those that can be converted into fully paid ordinary shares will be issued to the holders in proportion to their respective holdings. Performance Shares that do not convert into ordinary shares due to this limit will continue to be held by the holder until they can convert or expire 5 years from the date of the Agreement (whichever comes first).
-
(g) Prior to conversion, the Performance Shares shall have no:
-
(i) right of transfer;
-
(ii) voting rights (except as otherwise required by law);
-
(iii) dividend rights (whether fixed or at the discretion of the directors);
-
(iv) capital rights (whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise);
-
(v) right to profit or assets on winding up; and
-
(vi) right to participate in new issues of securities by Chrysalis (including bonus issues or entitlement issues).
-
(h) The Performance Shares will not be quoted.
-
(i) In the event of any reconstruction, consolidation or division of the issued capital of Chrysalis, the Performance Shares and their terms of conversion shall be reconstructed, consolidated or divided in the same manner so as to ensure that the holder of the Performance Shares will not be disadvantaged by the reorganisation in its position relative to Chrysalis shareholders, but at the same time will not receive a benefit that Chrysalis shareholders do not also receive.
