6. TRANSACTION OVERVIEW
6.1 The Company
The Company was incorporated on 11 May 2001 and admitted to the Official List on 19 March 2003 under the name Greater Pacific Capital Limited as a diversified financials company with exposure to the provision and management of finance facilities to various property and infrastructure developments. The Company was suspended from the Official List on 25 August 2009 and entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement on 13 August 2010. Since the Deed of Company Arrangement, GRP has entered into, but not completed, a number of transactions with the intention of delivering shareholder growth.
For the past twelve months, GRP has been evaluating alternative corporate opportunities, both in Australia and overseas, which have the potential to deliver strong future growth for Shareholders. During this period GRP entered into an agreement to acquire Helpa Inc. and its social media network business. This agreement was terminated in January 2015 and the companies have subsequently fully released each other from any obligations or liabilities.
GRP's only assets at present are its contractual rights in respect of the Acquisition pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement.
6.2 The Acquisition
As announced on 20 October 2015, the Company entered into the Acquisition Agreement with E-Collate Limited (ACN 608 766 123) (E-Collate) and Shareholders of E-Collate who together hold 33.33% of E-Collate Shares (Majority Shareholders) to conditionally acquire 100% of the issued capital in E-Collate (Acquisition). A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Section 13.1.
The Company announced to ASX on 5 November 2015 that GRP and E-Collate had completed and satisfied their due diligence enquiries on the other party.
Upon successful Settlement of the Acquisition, the Company will focus on developing the E-Collate Business. A more detailed summary of E-Collate and the proposed business of the Company following Settlement is set out in Section 8.
The Board considers that the quantum of the Consideration Securities issued by the Company for the Acquisition reflects a reasonable fair value of E-Collate in view of the key investment highlights set out in Section 6.3 of this Prospectus and the Company having conducted arm's length negotiations with the vendors of E-Collate to arrive at the commercial terms of the Acquisition.
In determining the Consideration Securities to be issued for the Acquisition, the Company also took into account the following considerations:
- (a) internal revenue and profit forecasts of E-Collate. However, those forecasts cannot be stated publically as they do not comply with ASIC guidelines (in particular, ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 which requires directors to have a reasonable basis for disclosing forecast financial information);
- (b) the future prospects of E-Collate based on the status of its technology portfolio and interest from third parties; and
(c) representations from the E-Collate directors as to the price at which a takeover offer for E-Collate would be likely to succeed.
As with the acquisition of any business or asset that does not have a meaningful track record of revenue and profitability, there is not always a good valuation methodology available when determining the purchase price and the existing Directors were required to take into account qualitative factors such as those set out above in coming to a decision on the Acquisition price.
6.3 Key investment highlights
The Directors and Incoming Key Management personnel are of the view that key highlights of an investment in the Company include:
- (a) the Acquisition represents an attractive investment opportunity for the Company to change its business focus to that of a technology company. At present, the Company does not have any substantive operations. On Settlement of the Acquisition, Shareholders will have the opportunity to participate in the benefits associated with holding Shares in the E-Collate technology company which is developing various technologies, including the E-Collate Business;
- (b) upon Settlement, the Company will obtain ownership of the E-Collate Business including the E-Collate Application (App). With increasing global use of business apps, the Company will be exposed to an industry which has potential to grow significantly;
- (c) if the Acquisition proceeds, Shareholders will have exposure to returns generated by the Company's activities in the technology industry. While the expenses associated with E-Collate's future business plan should also be taken into account, the current economic downturn and resultant impact on returns may limit the returns available to Shareholders if the Acquisition does not proceed; and
- (d) the funding and cash reserves of the Company and its ability to raise new funding in order to pursue its objectives are currently constrained. The Public Offer will inject significant funds into the Company in the context of its current funding profile. This will enable it to undertake preliminary actions in pursuance of its new direction and growth activities. The proposed redevelopment works discussed in this Prospectus represent a significant growth opportunity for the Company and Shareholders will have exposure to the advantages that this growth opportunity presents.
6.4 Business Summary
E-Collate Pty Ltd is a Melbourne based technology company that builds compliance solutions for consumers, corporate services and the financial services industry. Established in October 2015, the Company develops and is commercialising a mobile app network for online compliance known as E-Collate.
The concept of the E-collate technology platform was created by founder Bowen Plug in 2008 for the management of data, resources and communications in the education sector while working in Japan. In July 2014, Mr Plug realised the broader potential demand for the core technology to be applied across other industries and he commenced development of the initial version focussed on corporate documentation management and superannuation fund compliance management.
The E-Collate platform is currently being adapted and developed for commercial release to the SMSF sector in Australia. The Company will also adapt, develop and release dedicated versions for corporate compliance, project management, taxation compliance and other major industry sectors in Australia and overseas.
The main aspects of the E-Collate Business are:
- (a) Technology development E-Collate App: E-Collate's development arm is currently developing an App that simplifies and streamlines the way in which people collate data required to comply with SMSF reporting requirements, called "E-Collate SMSF". It is intended that the E-Collate App will be a collation tool that works across multiple platforms including messaging, social media and email apps allowing users to collate communications and data to simplify and support their SMSF reporting obligation thereby improving compliance at a reduced cost in less time.
- (b) Business Development and Marketing: E-Collate will launch its E-Collate App and future Apps through the usual platforms and support uptake with targeted advertising to the clearly define target customers as part of a coordinated marketing strategy. E-Collate will also target cobranding opportunities and distribution channel partners to maximise the rate of uptake of its products.
Please refer to Section 8 for a more detailed summary of the Company's proposed business following Settlement of the Acquisition.
6.5 Suspension and Re-admission to ASX
As the Company is currently a suspended diversified financials company, the Acquisition, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company's operations to a technology provider.
ASX has indicated that this change in the nature and scale of the Company's activities will require:
- (a) the approval of Shareholders (which was obtained at the General Meeting); and
- (b) the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Shares will not be reinstated to Official Quotation until the Company has recomplied 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 ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 1.3; and
(c) the issue price of Shares must be at least 20 cents and the exercise price of Options must be at least 20 cents (20 Cent Requirements).
On 20 November 2015, ASX granted the Company a waiver from the 20 Cent Requirements to enable the Company to issue Shares under the Public Offer at $0.03 per Share and to have Options on issue with an exercise price of less than 20 cents.
It is expected that the conduct of the Offers pursuant to this Prospectus will enable the Company to satisfy the above requirements.
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 ASX Listing Rules and is re-admitted by ASX to the Official List. In the event that the Company does not receive conditional approval for re-admission to the Official List, the Company will not proceed with the Offers and will repay all Application monies received by it in connection with this Prospectus (without interest). The Company's Shares will remain in suspension and the Company will continue to look for new corporate opportunities.
6.6 Shareholder Approvals for the Acquisition
The Company called the General Meeting primarily for the purpose of seeking the approval of Shareholders to a number of resolutions required to implement the Acquisition, which was a condition of the Acquisition.
At the General Meeting, Shareholders approved the following resolutions:
- (a) the significant change in the nature a scale of the Company's activities to become a telecommunications technology company, for which Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 ;
- (b) the issue of 120,000,000 Shares at $0.03 per Share to raise $3,600,000 (Minimum Subscription) under the Public Offer;
- (c) the issue at Settlement of:
- (i) 10,000,000 Shares (Consideration Shares); and
- (ii) 10,000,000 Options, the terms and conditions of which are set out at Section 14.4,
(together the Consideration Securities), to the E-Collate Shareholders in consideration for the Acquisition, so that the Company will acquire all the issued capital in E-Collate);
- (d) the establishment of a Performance Incentive Scheme for employees and non-executive directors on terms acceptable to E-Collate and the Company; and
- (e) the Company changing its name to Transcendence Technologies Limited.
In addition, it is a condition of the Acquisition that the Company enters into share sale agreements with the shareholders of E-Collate such that the Company is unconditionally entitled to acquire 100% of the issued E-Collate Shares.
6.7 Change of Name
It is also proposed that the Company will change its name to "Transcendence Technologies Limited" on Settlement of the Acquisition, which in the Company's opinion will be better suited to the Company's new strategic direction.

Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of Securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

(b) Main business aspects
The main aspects of the current E-Collate Business involves:
• Technology development – E-Collate App
E-Collate is currently developing and commercialising an App that reinvents the way people deal with compliance management for individuals and organisations.
E-Collate's initial SMSF App will target SMSF members in Australia, comprising a number of features for compliance management. Key parts of the user interfaces and algorithms will also be used in a number of other mobile app platforms for other industry sectors including corporate compliance, project management and taxation compliance.
The E-Collate App enables people to collate and securely share their electronic documents and financials sourced across various platforms including SMS, e-mail, instant messages and banking data. The app overcomes the need to manually collect documents and contextual information from ad-hoc sources for each audit or annual tax return. The E-Collate App is intended to reduce the workload for SMSF members and trustees and minimises risk of compliance breaches.
The Company believes these substantial benefits will provide an enjoyable and efficient experience for end-users, leading to product loyalty for both end-users and companies that administrate SMSF accounts. E-Collate expects to improve the software interfaces on an ongoing basis, thereby increasing benefits to the market and value for investors.

The future of E-Collate comprises the development and launch of its online SMSF app for compliance as well as the development and launch of the app for other industries.
(c) Business Operation Model
The model for business operations of E-Collate includes the following:
- Applications department responsible for populating templates and document flow systems with specific data to apply the underlying E-Collate system to markets such as for SMSF compliance.
- Marketing and sales department responsible for building crossselling opportunities with SMSF participants and corporate channel partnering programs and driving up subscriptions of the App.
- Development and engineering department responsible for developing the underlying software technology system at the core of E-Collate.
8.3 Industry Overview
E-Collate's products and services are targeted to compete in the cloud hosted mobile app services markets for compliance, reporting and document collation in Australia and worldwide. The industry landscape for the applicable areas are set out below. The Board believe that E-Collate is well positioned to participate in the perceived growth.
Mobile Business Apps
Business apps form a large portion of the current Apps from the Apple Store and can offer exciting disruptive potential to rewrite business processes which have a purpose to save operators large amounts of money. For example, business targeted apps formed 10% of all apps available on the Apple App Store in September 2015 as referenced in the below diagram.



Furthermore, monetisation in the business app market can be very successful, with approximately $30 billion USD in revenue derived from this market sector in 2013 as shown in the diagram below.

More specifically, use of Apps for management of personal finances has increased rapidly and can be seen to reflect increasing confidence in the technology as the industry expands and matures. From 2004 to 2014, the majority of respondents in the UK moved to the internet to manage their finances instead of meeting their advisers and branch staff in person as shown in the diagram below. Only a few years later, more people are expected to manage their finances by smartphone app than in person at a branch. Overall, apps running on tablets or smartphones are gaining in popularity for managing personal financial affairs.


Should customers paying for reliable and useful mobile Apps become the norm, it is hoped that this confidence and trust from the consumer market will carry across to the business sector for mobile apps. The Company believes that the business App sector presents an exciting prospect for newcomers into the market who are able to provide an elegant offering with native mobile interfaces and forge a broad user base.
Cloud Based Business Services
Cloud computing describes the use of networks of remote servers - usually accessed over the Internet - to store, manage, and process data. For customers, cloud computing offers access to numerous technologies while lowering the barriers to entry, such as technical expertise or costs.

Compliance and SMSF Administration
The Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) sector is a large component of the Australian financial sector. SMSFs are used to access special tax treatment on income deferred to retirement while both minimising commissions and retaining control over where money is invested. Superannuation fund growth is underpinned by the compulsory contributions regime established in Australia, with especially onerous regulatory and reporting requirements attached for those operating an SMSF.
A major dynamic in the general superannuation industry is consolidation and merging amongst super funds, as they compete for equity against each other. In particular, corporate and retail funds have lost 6% of market share to small funds (SMSFs etc).1 In spite of this rigorous competition in the general superannuation sector, SMSFs have increased in total fund holdings and continue to dominate the industry.

1 APRA June 2013 Annual Superannuation Bulletin. Accessed from http://www.apra.gov.au/Super/Publications/Pages/annual-superannuation-publication.aspx
There are already 1,000,000 members of SMSFs in Aus data in 2015 and around $600 set up in the financial year ending June 2015 alone operating at that time. Australia according to ATO $600 billion total in assets. Over 32,000 new SMSF alone from a total of 556,998 funds 2 tralia illion SMSF's were

2 ATO Report. Self managed super fund statistical rep https://www.ato.gov.au/Super/Self-managed report –June 2015. Accessed from managed-super-funds/In-detail/Statistics/Quarterly-reports/ reports/.
Administration of the SMSF sector is dominated by suburban accountants operating relatively manual systems as well as SMSF management firms providing services ranging from signing off reports only to turnkey services. In any case though, there is almost always a trail of communications between the fund owners and those submitting the annual compliance documents to ATO and ASIC which typically costs a lot of time and money for involvement of both parties.

The SMSF market in Australia has a very large amount of money at stake and on average the trustees who operate these funds pay out upwards of $5,000 per year per fund as well as large amounts of time in order to maintain compliance and reporting of their fund for the ATO and other regulatory bodies as shown in the diagram above.3 In particular, to streamline communications between fund trustees and their auditors, accountants or SMSF administration providers.
8.4 Competition
The E-Collate Business will be competing against other providers of software systems in the document management area as well as existing systems used separately by some SMSF management firms. Some SMSF management providers may go on to develop software in-house to directly compete with the offering of E-Collate.
3 ATO report. Self-managed superannuation funds: A statistical overview 2011-2012. Accessed from https://www.ato.gov.au/About-ATO/Research-and-statistics/In-detail/Super-statistics/SMSF/Self-managedsuperannuation-funds--A-statistical-overview-2011-2012/?page=24# Operating_expenses
E-Collate can also expect some barriers to entry into the market from users being already familiar with the current methods and software systems that they are using already. Similarly, some SMSF management providers may actively resist entry of the SMSF offerings into the market due to the disruptive nature of technology on business models for companies that may be built around manual processing of documents from their customers and associated fees charged. However, E-Collate aims to ultimately save time and money of the end-user and will be well placed to provide its services to the customer for document collating even if an SMSF provider is unwilling to take part in direct collaboration.
8.5 Key dependencies of E-Collate's business model
The key factors that E-Collate will depend on to meet its objectives under its business model are:
- (a) The Company will need to establish agreements with a number of SMSF management service providers in Australia in early 2016. This will provide an important distribution channel and opportunity for customer feedback and integration with established software systems. This will also provide a valuable edge over competing IT developers in the way of establishing a captured market; and
- (b) The Company will need to establish various agreements with software development companies to support rolling out and commercialising of the systems developed by E-Collate.
8.6 E-Collate's business strategy and plans
E-Collate will supply its app platform as a free download from the Apple App Store and on Google Play with in-app purchase and monthly or annual subscriptions required to unlock valuable features. The App will initially be targeted at individuals running their own SMSF's or corporate partners utilising the product in order to assist their clients. It is also intended that the Company will look to obtain revenue from paid advertising within the E-Collate App and other Apps.
The E-Collate App is expected for release in the first half of 2016 and will be marketed directly to established SMSF management firms in Australia. The Company intends to enter into an agreement with these firms such that E-Collate is supplied to the client as a tool aimed to reduce SMSF related communications and documents, thereby saving the firm's time and money. Subscription fees will be paid directly to E-Collate by either the management firm or their clients.
The Company also intends to conduct a series of marketing campaigns in 2016 targeting accountants and auditors across the country for recommendation of E-Collate to clients, highlighting its benefits as a tool for reducing workload for the service provider for annual SMSF tax returns and audits. This is intended to assist brand recognition for the next stage of Company operations when releasing its other app platforms for managing regulatory reporting, project management and employee activities.
Should the E-Collate App become well-established in the Australian market, the Company intends to expand overseas in stages, customising the E-Collate App and targeting the equivalent of SMSFs in Canada and The Netherlands with scoping studies aiming to be completed in 2016. Should the E-Collate business become established in at least one of these countries, the Company will look to expand its operations to the USA.
These plans are consistent with the original vision for operations of E-Collate since inception. The Company may need to adapt its strategy as circumstances require, however no changes are under consideration at this stage.
8.7 Historical Financial Information
The Investigating Accountant's Report contained in Section 11 of this Prospectus sets out:

8.8 Forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company and E-Collate are inherently uncertain. Any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
8.9 Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro-forma statement of financial is contained in the Investigating Accounting Report in Section 11 of this Prospectus.
The pro-forma statement of financial position has been prepared by the management of the Company for illustrative purposes only to show the effect of the Transaction on the Company's financial position. The pro-forma statement of financial position has not been audited or reviewed by an auditor and is not represented as being indicative of the Company's view of the future financial position of the Company and will not necessarily reflect the actual position and balances as at the date on which Settlement occurs.
The pro-forma statement of financial position has been prepared to provide investors with information on the assets and liabilities of the Company and proforma assets and liabilities of the Company as noted below.
The historical and pro-forma financial information in this Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition principles under the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standard (AIFRS) (unless otherwise noted) although it is presented in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the disclosures required by AIFRS applicable to annual financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.
The basis on which the unaudited pro-forma statement of financial position has been compiled is set out below:
- (a) The pro-forma statement of financial position is presented below to illustrate the scenario where it is assumed that:
- (i) investors taking up the full amount under the Public Offer raising an amount of $3,600,000 (before costs);
- (ii) total costs expected to be incurred in relation to the Offers of $399,236 are recognised directly against equity;
- (iii) E-Collate Shareholders subscribing for all Securities offered under the Vendor Consideration Offer; and
- (iv) Settlement of the Acquisition occurs.
- (b) The pro-forma statement of financial position is not intended to be indicative of the financial position that would actually have occurred, or the financial position expected in future periods, had events reflected herein occurred on the dates indicated. The Company is required to account for the Offers based on values at the time the Offers are completed. Therefore actual amounts recorded by the Company upon completion of the Acquisition will differ from those recorded in the proforma statement of financial position.
- (c) The pro-forma statement of financial position should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2015 Annual Report, released to the ASX on 27 October 2015.
8.10 Dividend Policy
It is anticipated that, following Settlement of the Acquisition, the Company will focus on the development of the E-Collate Business. This will likely require significant funding. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to declare any dividends during this period or in the short to medium term.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Board. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.
8.11 Capital Structure
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has 18,951,197 Shares on issue.
The expected capital structure of the Company following completion of the Offers and Settlement of the Acquisition is summarised below. Refer to the Investigating Accountant's Report set out in Section 11 of this Prospectus for further details.

| Shareholder | Shares | % |
|---|---|---|
| Nightfall Pty Ltd | 2,040,240 | 10.77 |
| Reco Holdings Ltd | 1,650,000 | 8.71 |
| UBS Nominees Ltd | 1,345,000 | 7.26 |
| WorldActionVenturePartners Ltd | 1,250,000 | 6.60 |
On completion of the Offers (assuming Minimum Subscription under the Public Offer and that the Non-Fundraising Offers are fully accepted), the Company does not anticipate that it will have any substantial Shareholders.
8.13 Top 20 Shareholders
The Company will announce to the ASX details of its top 20 Shareholders following completion of the Offers and prior to the Shares re-commencing trading on ASX.
8.14 Restricted Securities
Subject to the Company re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and completing the Offers, the E-Collate Shareholders understand that certain Securities on issue may be classified by ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for up to 24 months from the date of Official Quotation.
During the period in which these Securities are prohibited from being transferred, trading in Securities may be less liquid which may impact on the ability of a Shareholder to dispose of his or her Securities in a timely manner.
The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Securities required to be held in escrow prior to the Company's listed Securities being reinstated to trading on ASX (which reinstatement is subject to ASX's discretion and approval).
9. RISK FACTORS
9.1 Introduction
Shareholders should be aware there are risks associated with the Acquisition. Based on the information available, a non-exhaustive list of risk factors that the Company will be subject to should the Acquisition be successful is set out below. This list of risk factors does not purport to list every risk that may be associated with E-Collate. The occurrence of or consequences of some of the risks described below are partially or completely outside the control of E-Collate, its directors and its management team.
The selection of risks has been based on the assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring, the ability to mitigate the risk and the impact of the risk if it did occur. That assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Prospectus, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of different risks will not change or that other risks will not emerge. Shareholders should satisfy themselves that they have a sufficient understanding of these matters.
9.2 Specific Risks relating to the Change in Nature and Scale of Activities
(a) Re-Quotation of Shares on ASX and Conditional Acquisition
The Acquisition of E-Collate constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company's activities and the Company needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the Official List.
There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares on the ASX. Should this occur, the Shares will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders may continue to be prevented from trading their Shares should the Company be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.
It is also noted that the Acquisition remains subject to satisfaction or waiver of various Conditions. There is a risk that all the Conditions are not satisfied or waived. In this event the Company will continue to seek to focus on its diversified financial business and look for potential business acquisitions to take the Company forward.
(b) Dilution Risk
The Company currently has 18,951,197 Shares and 3,790,240 Options on issue. Upon Settlement of the Acquisition (assuming no further issue of Securities other than as set under this Prospectus) a total of 153,819,472 Shares and 22,000,000 Options will be issued, and:
- (i) the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 10.97% of the Company's issued Share capital;
- (ii) the E-Collate Shareholders will hold approximately 5.79% of the Company's issued Share capital; and
- (iii) the investors under the Public Offer will hold approximately 69.46% of the Company's issued Share capital.
If any Options are converted, the holdings of the existing Shareholders in the Company will be further diluted.
There is also a risk that the interests of Shareholders will be further diluted as a result of future capital raisings required in order to fund the development of the E-Collate Business.
(c) Liquidity Risk
On Settlement, the Company proposes to issue the Consideration Securities to the E-Collate Shareholders. The Directors understand that ASX may treat a portion of the Consideration Securities as restricted securities in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules. However, submissions will be made to the ASX to apply for cash formula relief in respect of the Consideration Securities. As a number of the Company's Shares will be subject to escrow upon Settlement, there is an increased liquidity risk as a large portion of issued capital may not be able to be freely traded for a period of time.
(d) Contractual Risk
Settlement pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement is subject to the fulfilment of the Conditions.
The ability of the Company to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under the Acquisition Agreement and the ability of the parties to achieve the Conditions.
If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly.
(e) E-Collate Shareholders not agreeing to accept the terms of the Acquisition
There is a risk that the parties may be unable to satisfy all the Conditions to the Acquisition. Specifically, there is a risk that not all the E-Collate Shareholders will agree to accept the terms of the Acquisition. Should this occur the Acquisition will not proceed.
9.3 Risks in respect of E-Collate's current operations
(a) Establishment of agreements and contracts
The Company will need to establish agreements with a number of SMSF management service providers in Australia in early 2016 in order to provide an important distribution channel and opportunity for customer feedback and integration with established software systems.
The Company will also need to establish various agreements with software development companies to support rolling out and commercialising of the systems developed by E-Collate.
If the Company is unable to establish these agreements and contracts it may impact on its ability to run its business and create revenue which may in turn impact on Shareholder returns.
(b) Technology development and product commercialisation
The success of E-Collate will be impacted by the successful development and commercialisation of the E-Collate technologies.
These technologies are is in the development phase. Should the development not be completed in accordance with E-Collate's specifications or should the results of further testing indicate technology performance is below market requirements, E-Collate will have to expend additional time and resources to rectify any outstanding issues which will delay the commercialisation of the technology.
(c) Product Development
E-Collate believes that it provides a meaningful and engaging offering. Moreover, in addition to its current products and services, E-Collate is planning to continue innovation and development on its technologies and associated products. There is the risk that delays in product development, cost overruns or difficulties in delivering new features will negatively impact the Company and its business.
(d) Restriction of Access
The Company may be significantly affected by other companies restricting access to their platforms from a programming perspective. As such, E-Collate cannot ensure that restrictions may not be put in place. However this risk can be mitigated to some extent by the Company developing other methods to enable access to required data.
(e) Changes to Government policies/compliance
Application of the Company's vision of information collating systems for mobile devices could be severely undermined if the Australian Government was to dismantle compliance requirements and associated penalties for trustees in the superannuation system. In this case though, the Company will still be in a strong position to provide its services for improving efficiency for fund administration.
Likewise, profitability could be significantly curtailed if established industry players in the accounting and finance industry were to adopt the vision of the Company and implement user friendly mobile interfaces that integrate well with messaging. In that case, the Company will still be in a strong position to compete since SMSF administration is spread across so many different administration providers.
(f) Competition and new technologies
There is significant competition in the technology industry generally. E-Collate's competitors include companies with significantly greater financial, technical, human, research and development and marketing resources than are currently available to E-Collate. E-Collate's competitors may develop technologies and products that perform better, have greater market acceptance. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose product developments, activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company's projects and business.
(g) Unforeseen expenditure risk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the use of funds table in Section 7.4. Although the Company is not currently aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company and the E-Collate Business.
(h) Protection of intellectual property rights
The E-Collate Business is substantially reliant on its ability to protect and maintain its intellectual property interests. The ability of the Company to obtain and sustain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing proprietary rights of third parties will therefore be an integral part of the Company's business in the event that the Acquisition proceeds.
E-Collate is looking at patent applications in order to protect its multiplatform compliance technology. However, if the Company fails to protect its future developments and intellectual property rights, competitors may gain access to its technology which would in turn harm its business.
The granting of protection, such as a registered patent, does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed, that competitors will not develop technology to avoid the patent or that third parties will not claim an interest in the intellectual property with a view to seeking a commercial benefit from the Company or its partners.
Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to the Company in every country in which E-Collate's technologies may eventually be launched. Accordingly, despite its efforts, the Company may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property.
The Company may be required to incur significant expenses in monitoring and protecting its intellectual property rights or defending against claims it has infringed on a third party's patent or other intellectual property rights. It may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement, or to establish the validity, of its rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is successful, could result in significant expense to the Company and cause a distraction to management.
(i) Reliance on attracting and retaining skilled labour
Success of E-Collate's activities will rely substantially on its ability to attract and retain skilled staff to assist with ongoing product development and planned product commercialisation activities. The departure, either temporary or permanent, of those key staff, or any delay in their replacement, could adversely affect E-Collate's performance. Similarly, as a company seeking to grow and expand, E-Collate's success in securing new talent will be critical going forward and may be constrained for a number of reasons. Market competition for such labour is intense, and the potential to employ undesirable staff is high. If the Company is unable to attract and retain skilled staff, this could potentially have adverse consequences to the Company's profitability.
(j) Reliance on Key Personnel
E-Collate's ability to develop and manage the growth of its businesses is dependent largely on the skills of E-Collate's management team (Refer to Section 10). Changes in the management team may require appointment of new members, who have not yet been identified.
(k) International Expansion
It is intended that E-Collate's products and services will be used in various countries which will 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 costs. There is no guarantee such expansions will be successful and increased costs may adversely impact the profitability and working capital of E-Collate.
(l) Foreign Exchange Risks
E-Collate may have costs and expenses in other jurisdictions such as the United States of America and Europe. E-Collate is potentially a global business and may generate revenue outside of Australia. Such financial transactions will likely be denominated in foreign currency, will be converted to Australian currency for reporting purposes and will therefore be affected by currency fluctuations, which may adversely impact on financial performance and position.
(m) Failure to deal with growth
E-Collate has the potential to grow rapidly. If that occurs and E-Collate fails to properly manage that growth, then that failure could harm the E-Collate Business. Any failure to meet user demand properly could adversely affect the business, including demand for the technology, products and services, revenue, customer satisfaction and public perception.
(n) Contracts
E-Collate may enter into agreements with counterparties. In such cases, there is the risk that counterparties may default on their obligations, which may in turn necessitate legal action. This could result in significant financial loss for E-Collate. In some cases, the contracts that E-Collate has entered into are 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, E-Collate cannot ensure that an appropriate legal resolution will be achieved.
9.4 General Risks Relating to the Company
(a) Trading Price of Shares
The Company's operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar and United States dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.
In particular, the share prices for many companies including the Company have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company's market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
(b) Additional Requirements for Capital
The capital requirements of the Company depend on numerous factors. Depending on the ability of the Company to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this Prospectus. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.
(c) Residual risks from continuing business interests
The Company does not currently have any active business interests.
(d) Litigation Risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. Neither the Company nor E-Collate is currently engaged in any litigation.
(e) Economic Risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company'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;
- (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.
(f) Force Majeure
The Company, now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
(g) Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, technologies and/or products that are complementary to the E-Collate Business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.
9.5 Investment 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.
10. BOARD, MANAGEMENT AND INTERESTS
10.1 Directors

The Directors GRP Corporation Limited Suite 6, 295 Rokeby Road SUBIACO WA 6008
Dear Directors
INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANTíS REPORT

BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd (ëBDOí) has been engaged by GRP Corporation Limited (ëGRPí or ëthe Companyí) to prepare this Investigating Accountant's Report (ëReportí) in relation to certain financial information of GRP for inclusion in the Prospectus. The Prospectus is required under Australian Securities Exchange (ëASXí) requirements for the Company to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, as a result of GRP entering into a heads of agreement to acquire e-Collate Pty Ltd (ëe-Collateí) (ëthe Acquisitioní), a cloud-connected modern information system which links multi-source data to provide meaningful information for efficient compliance management and decision making support.
Broadly, the Prospectus will offer 120 million Shares at an issue price of $0.03 each to raise $3.6 million before costs (ëthe Offerí). The Prospectus also contains an offer of up to 10 million shares and 10 million options to e-Collate in consideration for the Acquisition.
Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report. BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd (ëBDOí) holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFS Licence Number 316158).
This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
2. Scope
You have requested BDO to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the historical and pro forma historical financial information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.
The historical and pro forma 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.
You have requested BDO to review the following historical financial information (together the ëHistorical Financial Informationí) included in the Prospectus:
- · the audited historical Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for GRP for the years ended 30 June 2013, 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015;
- · the audited historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for e-Collate for the period 15 October 2015 (inception) to 22 October 2015;
- · the audited historical Statement of Financial Position of GRP as at 30 June 2015; and
- · the audited historical Statement of Financial Position of e-Collate as at 22 October 2015.
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 the companyís adopted accounting policies. The Historical Financial Information of GRP has been extracted from the financial reports for the years ended 30 June 2013, 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015, which was audited by the Companyís statutory auditor in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. The Companyís statutory auditor issued an unmodified audit opinion on the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2015 however, did include an emphasis of matter noting that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on future successful raising to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
The Historical Financial Information of e-Collate has been extracted from the financial report for the period 15 October 2015 (date of incorporation) to 22 October 2015, which was audited by BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd issued an unmodified audit opinion on the financial report for the period under audit.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested BDO to review the following pro forma historical financial information (together the ëPro Forma Historical Financial Informationí) of GRP included in the Prospectus:
· the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2015.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the Historical Financial Information of GRP, after adjusting for the effects of the subsequent events described in Section 6 of this Report and the pro forma adjustments described in Section 7 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 Section 7 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 companyís actual or prospective financial position or financial performance.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by GRP to illustrate the impact of the events or transactions described in Section 6 and Section 7 of the Report on GRPís financial position at 30 June 2015. As part of this process, information about GRPís financial position has been extracted by the Company from GRPís financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.
On 20 October 2015, GRP announced that it had entered into a heads of agreement with e-Collate which sets out the terms on which GRP will procure 100% of the issued capital in e-Collate. In exchange for the Company acquiring 100% of the issued capital in e-Collate, the Company will issue the following:
- · 10 million ordinary shares to the e-Collate shareholders (ëVendorsí) in proportion to their existing holdings in e-Collate (ëConsideration Sharesí); and
- · 10 million Options to the e-Collate Vendors (ëConsideration Optionsí). The terms of the Consideration Options are as follows:
- i. $0.05 exercise price; and
- ii. expiry date is three years from the date that GRPís shares are reinstated to the ASX.
GRP has previously entered into a converting promissory note agreement (ëGRP Converting Loan Agreementí), pursuant to which GRP has borrowed a total of $0.24 million as at the date of this Report. The funds have been provided by independent third parties who have agreed to fund GRP as part of the completion of the acquisition (ëGRP Lendersí).
3. Directorsí responsibility
The directors of GRP are responsible for the preparation and presentation 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 are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
4. Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Historical Financial Information and the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information. 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.
Our limited assurance procedures consisted of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited assurance engagement 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 a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or limited assurance reports on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.
5. Conclusion
Historical Financial Information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising of:
- · the historical Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for GRP for the years ended 30 June 2013, 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015;
- · the historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for e-Collate for the period 15 October 2015 (inception) to 22 October 2015;
- · the historical Statement of Financial Position of GRP at 30 June 2015; and
- · the historical Statement of Financial Position of e-Collate at 22 October 2015
is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.
Pro Forma Historical Financial information
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information as described in the Appendices to this Report, and comprising:
· the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position of GRP at 30 June 2015.
is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in Section 2 of this Report.
6. Subsequent Events
The pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position reflects the following events that have occurred subsequent to the period ended 30 June 2015:
-
· GRP received the final $25,000 from the $125,000 commercial settlement repayment which relates to the Helpa loan on the 23 July 2015. GRP and Helpa have now released each other from any and all claims relating to the Helpa acquisition;
-
· GRP loaned $5,000 to Aleator Energy Limited during the year to 30 June 2015. This loan was repaid to the Company on the 3 August 2015;
-
· During October 2015, the Company also issued 12 million convertible notes with a face value of $0.02 per note which raised $240,000 before costs. This GRP Converting Loan agreement will convert to fully paid ordinary shares in GRP at $0.02 per note post completion of the Acquisition. Upon conversion, each new share issued will also have one free attaching option issued exercisable at $0.03 and expiry date three years from the date of issue;
-
· On the 1 October 2015, GRP completed a placement of 3,790,240 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.02 per share raising a total of $75,805 Each share issued under this offer has one free attaching option exercisable at $0.03 and an expiry date three years from the date of issue; and
-
· Subsequent to 1 July 2015, an amount of $104,696 payable by the Company was forgiven by its creditors. A breakdown of the amounts forgiven are as follows:
-
o $37,748 from Steinepreis Paganin (of which Peter Wall is a Director);
-
o $33,543 from SmallCap Corporate Pty Ltd (of which Zane Lewis is a Director); and
-
o $33,405 from Allegra Corporate Pty Ltd (of which Mark Rowbottam is a Director).
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of this Report and the information provided by the Directors, to the best of our knowledge and belief no other material transaction or event outside of the ordinary business of GRP or e-Collate not described above, has come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.
7. Assumptions Adopted in Compiling the Pro-forma Statement of Financial Position

GRP CORPORATION LIMITED
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of historical financial information
The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected noncurrent assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Going Concern
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of the fundraising under the Prospectus. The Directors believe that the Company will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the fundraising under the Prospectus be unsuccessful, the entity may not be able to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the historical financial information included in this Report have been set out below.
a) Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
b) Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expenses to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Impairment testing is performed annually and tangible assets with indefinite lives. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
c) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
d) Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified "at fair value through profit or loss", in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
i. Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.
ii. Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a "loss event") having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).
In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or
other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.
When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Company recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term high liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
f) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
g) Revenue and Other Income
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.
h) Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
i) Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

12. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
12.1 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations
The Company plans to adopt comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board are 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, commensurate with the Company's size and nature, the Company will adopt The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council (Recommendations).
The Board will seek, where appropriate, to provide accountability levels that meet or exceed the Recommendations, which are not prescriptions, but guidelines. The Company's main corporate governance policies and practices are outlined below and further details can be obtained from the Company website at www.grpcorporation.com.au.
12.2 Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board will develop strategies for the Company, review strategic objectives and monitor 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 will assume the following responsibilities:
- (d) developing initiatives for profit and asset growth;
- (e) reviewing the corporate, commercial and financial performance of the Company on a regular basis;
- (f) acting on behalf of, and being accountable to, the Shareholders; and
- (g) 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.
In light of the Company's size and nature, the Board considers that the proposed composition of the Board is a cost effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. If the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.
12.3 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.
Following Settlement, the Board will consist of 3 members. The Company will adopt a Nominations Committee Charter and will appoint a Nominations and Remuneration Committee (which will initially be carried out by the full Board).
Where a casual vacancy arises during the year, the Board will have 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 Board, holds office until the next general meeting and is then eligible for re-election by the Shareholders.
Each Director has confirmed to the Company that he or she anticipates being available to perform his or her duties as a Non-Executive Director or Executive Director without constraint from other commitments.
The Board considers an independent Director to be a non-executive director who is free of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, his or her capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its security holders generally. The Board will consider the materiality of any given relationship on a case-by-case basis and reviews the independence of each Director in light of interests disclosed to the Board from time to time.
The Board Charter adopted by the Board sets out guidelines of materiality for the purpose of determining independence of Directors in accordance with the Recommendations and has adopted a definition of independence that is based on that set out in the Recommendations.
The Board will consider whether there are any factors or considerations which may mean that a Director's interest, position, association or relationship might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, the capacity of the Director to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders generally.
12.4 Board Charter
The Board Charter adopted by the Board sets out the responsibilities of the Board in greater detail. It provides that the Board should comprise Directors with the appropriate mix of skills, experience, expertise and diversity which are relevant to the Company's businesses and the Board's responsibilities. The Board Charter allows the Board to delegate powers and responsibilities to committees established by the Board. The Board retains ultimate accountability to Shareholders in discharging its duties.
12.5 Identification and management of risk
The Board intends to establish a Risk Management Committee which is responsible for overseeing the risk management function. It is proposed that the Risk Management Committee will be responsible for ensuring the risks and opportunities are identified on a timely basis.
The Board will be responsible for overseeing the establishment of and approving risk management strategies, policies, procedures and systems of the Company. The Company's management is responsible for establishing the Company's risk management framework. The Company will regularly undertake reviews of its risk management procedures to ensure that it complies with its legal obligations, including assisting the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer to provide required declarations.
12.6 Ethical standards
The Directors are committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards. Accordingly, the Company has adopted a Code of Conduct which sets out the way the Company conducts business. The Company will carry on business honestly and fairly, acting only in ways that reflect well on the Company and in compliance with all laws and regulations.
The Directors also propose to adopt a policy document which will outline employees' obligations of compliance with the Code of Conduct, and explains how the code interacts with the Company's other corporate governance policies.
It is proposed that responsibilities incorporated in the Code of Conduct will include protection of the Company's business, using the Company's resources in an appropriate manner, protecting confidential information and avoiding conflicts of interest.
12.7 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.
12.8 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. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $350,000 per annum.
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.
The Board intends to review and approve the remuneration policy to enable the Company to attract and retain Directors who will create value for Shareholders having consideration to the amount considered to be commensurate for a company of its size and level of activity as well as the relevant Directors' time, commitment and responsibility.
The proposed role of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (which will initially be carried out by the full Board) is to review and make recommendations to the Board on remuneration arrangements and policies related to the Directors, Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management and to ensure that the remuneration policies and practices are consistent with the Company's strategic goals and human resources objectives. In addition, it is proposed that the Committee will be responsible for reviewing and making recommendations in relation to the composition and performance of the Board and its committees and ensuring that adequate succession plans are in place (including for the recruitment and appointment of Directors and senior management). Independent advice may be sought by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee where appropriate.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee will meet as often as is required by its Charter or other policy approved by the Board to govern the operation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Following each meeting, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee will report to the Board on any matter that should be brought to the Board's attention and on any recommendation that requires Board approval.
12.9 Trading policy
The Company has adopted a Securities Trading 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 Director). The Securities Trading Policy explains the types of conduct in relation to dealings in Shares that are prohibited under the Corporations Act and to establish procedures in relation to such persons' dealing in the Shares.
Under the terms of the policy, buying or selling Shares is not be permitted at any time by any person who possesses inside information in a manner contrary to the Corporations Act or where short-term or speculative trading is involved. The policy also generally provides that written notification to the Chairman (or in the case of the Chairman, the Managing Director) must be satisfied prior to trading.
12.10 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.
12.11 Audit committee
The responsibilities of an Audit and Risk Management Committee for the Company will initially be carried out by the Board, which will fulfil the Company's corporate governance and monitoring responsibilities in relation to the Company's risks associated with the integrity of the financial reporting, internal control systems and the independence of the external audit function.
The Board will be responsible for approving the services that the Company's external auditor may provide. The external auditor:
(a) must be independent of the Company and the Directors and senior executives. To ensure this, the Company requires a formal report from its external auditor on an annual basis setting out the relationships that may affect its independence; and
(b) may not provide services to the Company that may impair, or appear to impair, the external auditor's judgement or independence in respect of the Company.
12.12 Diversity Policy
The Company 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.
12.13 Departures from Recommendations
Following re-admission to the Official List, the Company will be required to report any departures from the Recommendations in its annual financial report. The Company's compliance and departures from the Recommendations as at the date of this Prospectus are set out in Schedule 1.

14.1 Litigation
As at the date of this Prospectus, neither the Company or E-Collate is involved in any material legal proceedings and the Directors and Incoming Key Management are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or E-Collate.
14.2 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
The Shares offered under this Prospectus will be fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of the Company and will, upon issue, rank equally with all other Shares then on issue.
The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
(b) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
- (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
- (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
- (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder's name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c) Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Shareholder liability
As the Shares offered under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Variation of rights
Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(h) Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

Price sensitive information will be publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants.
