2. Details of the Offer

2.1

The Offer

The Offer is being made as a non-renounceable entitlement issue of three (3) Shares for every four (4) Shares held by Shareholders registered at the Record Date, at an issue price of $0.005 per Share. In the calculation of any Entitlement, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Based on the capital structure of the Company as at the date of this Prospectus plus the Shares to be issued under the Placement to occur prior to the Record Date (and assuming no Options are exercised, Performance Rights converted or other Shares issued prior to the Record Date), approximately 599,436,892 Shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer to raise up to approximately $2,997,184.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has 94,486,188 Options on issue all of which may be exercised prior to the Record Date in order to participate in the Offer. Please refer to Section 3.4 for information on the exercise price, expiry date and escrow restrictions of the Options on issue.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has 2,500,000 Performance Rights on issue. The vesting conditions are not capable of being satisfied prior to the Record Date. Therefore, they will not be able to be converted into Shares prior to the Record Date to participate in the Offer. Please refer to Section 3.4 for information on the vesting conditions of the Performance Rights on issue.

All of the Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Please refer to Section 4 for further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares.

Details of the purpose and effect of the Offer and the proposed use of funds raised are set out in Section 3 of this Prospectus.

The Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.

2.2 Minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription.

2.3 Acceptance

Your acceptance of the Offer must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus. Your acceptance must not exceed your Entitlement as shown on that form. If it does, your acceptance will be deemed to be for the maximum Entitlement. If you wish to apply for Shares in addition to your maximum Entitlement this must be done by applying for Shortfall Shares in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

You may participate in the Offer as follows:

(a) if you wish to accept your full Entitlement:

(i) make payment by BPAY® in accordance with Section 2.5 and the

5

instructions on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the amount indicated on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form; or

  • (ii) complete the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, filling in the details in the spaces provided and in accordance with Section 2.4 attach your cheque, drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft or money order made payable in Australian currency, for the appropriate application monies (at $0.005 per Share); or

  • (b) if you only wish to accept part of your Entitlement:

  • (i) make payment by BPAY® in accordance with Section 2.5 and the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the amount of your Entitlement being accepted. You will be deemed to have taken up that part of your Entitlement which is covered in full by your application monies; or

  • (ii) complete the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, filling in the details in the spaces provided for the amount of your Entitlement being accepted and in accordance with Section 2.4 attach your cheque, drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft or money order made payable in Australian currency, for the appropriate Application monies (at $0.005 per Share). You will be deemed to have taken up that part of your Entitlement which is covered in full by your application monies; or

  • (c) if you wish to accept your full Entitlement and apply for additional Shortfall Shares:

  • (i) make payment by BPAY® in accordance with Section 2.5 and the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the amount indicated on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form plus any additional Shortfall Shares you wish to apply for. You will be deemed to have applied for that number of Shortfall Shares which in aggregate with your Entitlement is covered in full by your application monies; or

  • (ii) complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form including filling in the number of Shortfall Shares you wish to apply for in the shortfall section on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and in accordance with Section 2.4 attach your cheque, drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft or money order made payable in Australian currency, for the appropriate Application monies (at $0.005 per Share); or

  • (d) if you do not wish to accept all or part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything.

2.4 Payment by cheque/bank draft

For payment by cheque, bank draft or money order please follow the instructions on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. The Company shall not be responsible for any delivery delays in the receipt of your cheque and completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

2.5 Payment by BPAY®

6

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • (a) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (b) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.

If you are applying for Shares and your payment is being made by BPAY®, you do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, however, you are encouraged to return it to the share registry (by post or facsimile) for reconciliation purposes.

If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the unique customer reference number ( CRN ) specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 5:00 pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of Shares (only where the amount is $1.00 or greater) will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.

2.6 Underwriting

The Offer is fully underwritten by Taylor Collison Limited (ACN: 008 172 450) (AFSL: 247083) ( Underwriter ). Refer to Section 6.4 for details of the terms of the underwriting.

2.7 Effect on control of the Company

The Underwriter presently is not a shareholder of the Company and the extent to which Shares are issued pursuant to the underwriting will increase the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company. The Underwriter’s present relevant interest and changes under several scenarios are set out in the table below.

Event Shares held by Underwriter Voting power of Underwriter
Date of Prospectus 0 0%
Completion of Entitlement Issue
Fullysubscribed 0 0%
75% subscribed 149,859,223 10.71%
50% subscribed 299,718,446 21.43%
25% subscribed 449,577,669 32.14%
0% subscribed 599,436,892 42.86%

7

The number of Shares held by the Underwriter and its voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the underwriting of the Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders will take up entitlements under the Offer. The underwriting obligations and therefore voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of entitlements under the Offer taken up by Eligible Shareholders. Furthermore, the voting power of the Underwriter will also be reduced to the extent that Eligible Shareholders or sub-underwriters take up any Shortfall.

Any increase in voting power of the Underwriter above 20% will be permitted pursuant to the “underwriting exception” in item 13 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. The Company and the Underwriter have confirmed that no sub-underwriter nor existing Shareholder will increase its voting power to above 20% as a result of the Offer or Shortfall Offer.

Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 42.85% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below:

Holder Holding as at
Record date
% at Record
Date
Entitlements
under the
Offer
Holdings if
Offer not
taken Up
% post
Offer
Shareholder 1 50,000,000 6.26% 37,500,000 50,000,000 3.57%
Shareholder 2 25,000,000 3.13% 18,750,000 25,000,000 1.79%
Shareholder 3 10,000,000 1.25% 7,500,000 10,000,000 0.71%
Shareholder 4 5,000,000 0.63% 3,750,000 5,000,000 0.36%
Shareholder 5 1,000,000 0.13% 750,000 1,000,000 0.07%

Note: The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Shortfall Offer (which will be placed pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement). Percentages post-Offer have been calculated on the basis of there being 1,398,686,082 Shares on issue on completion of the Offer. Refer to Section 3.4 for further details of the Company’s capital structure.

2.8 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer.

The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date although it is intended that the Shortfall Offer will close promptly following the Closing Date under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.005 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.

Eligible Shareholders accepting their full Entitlement can apply for Shortfall Shares by following the instructions set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Shares to Eligible Shareholders in priority to placement of the Shortfall pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at their absolute discretion including to reject any application or to allocate any applicant fewer Shortfall Shares than the number applied for. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of Shortfall Shares will be refunded. The Company will only issue Shortfall Shares to Eligible Shareholders where the Directors are satisfied, in their sole discretion, that the issue of the Shares will not result in a person’s voting power increasing above 20%.

8

Any remaining Shortfall will then be placed pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. Applications for the Shortfall to satisfy the terms of the Underwriting Agreement are to be made by completing the Shortfall Offer Application Form and providing the Company with payment for those Shortfall Shares in accordance with the instructions on the Shortfall Offer Application Form.

All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Shares, after satisfying accepted applications for Shortfall Shares made by Eligible Shareholders, will be made by the Underwriter (in consultation with the Company) and will be final and binding on all Eligible Shareholders. Do not complete a Shortfall Offer Application Form unless directed to do so by the Underwriter or the Company.

2.9

ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.

2.10 Issue

Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

Shares issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer to Eligible Shareholders accepting their full Entitlement and applying for additional Shares under the Shortfall Offer will be issued on the same date as Shares are issued under the Offer.

Any remaining Shares issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.

Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made, surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.

Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

Holding statements for Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

2.11 Overseas Shareholders

The Offer and the Shortfall Offer do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.

It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia, New Zealand or Singapore.

In relation to the Shortfall Offer, the distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions. Failure to comply with these restrictions may violate securities laws. Applicants who are residents in countries other than Australia other than Eligible Shareholders should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether any other formalities need to be considered and followed. No action has been taken to register or qualify the Shares under the Shortfall Offer or the Shortfall Offer, or to otherwise permit a public offering of the Shares under the Shortfall Offer in any jurisdiction outside Australia other than to Eligible Shareholders.

New Zealand

Singapore

This document and any other materials relating to the Shares have not been, and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus in Singapore with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, this document and any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of Shares, may not be issued, circulated or distributed, nor may the Shares be offered or sold, or be made the subject of invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore except pursuant to and in accordance with exemptions in Subdivision (4) Division 1, Part XIII of the Securities and Futures ACT, Chapter 289 of Singapore ( SFA ), or as otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of any other applicable provisions of the SFA.

This document has been given to you on the basis that you are an existing holder of the Company’s shares. In the event that you are not an existing holder, please return this document immediately. You may not forward or circulate this document to any other person in Singapore.

10

Any offer is not made to you with a view to the Shares being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. There are on-sale restrictions in Singapore that may be applicable to investors who acquire Shares. As such, investors are advised to acquaint themselves with the SFA provisions relating to resale restrictions in Singapore and comply accordingly.

  1. The Company agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 6,000,000 Options to Sam Kekovich pursuant to a brand ambassador agreement ( Brand Ambassador Agreement ) (as announced to ASX on 18 February 2019) and in consideration for services provided.

The issue of the balance of 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.05 each and expiring on that date which is 24 months from the date of issue remains subject to shareholder approval.

  2. The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, execution of a formal agreement and receipt of any regulatory approvals, to grant the following Options to Automation Australia Pty Ltd trading as Essence APAC ( Essence APAC ) pursuant to a binding heads of agreement (as announced to ASX on 15 July 2019) ( Essence Agreement ):

  3. a. 12,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.04 on or before 3 years from the date of issue which vest on the Company receiving $4,000,000 invoiced revenue attributable to sales of Essence APAC’s healthcare associated solutions ( Essence APAC Solutions ) during the term of the Essence Agreement (initial term of 3 years and may be extended by further periods of 12 months on

15

written notice by the Company) ( Term ) and the formal agreement remaining in full force and effect at the time of satisfaction of the revenue target;

  • b. 12,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.06 on or before 3 years from the date of issue which vest on the Company receiving at least $6,000,000 invoiced revenue attributable to sales of Essence APAC Solutions during the Term and the formal agreement remaining in full force and effect at the time of satisfaction of the revenue target; and

  • c. 12,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.08 on or before 3 years from the date of issue which vest on the Company receiving at least $8,000,000 invoiced revenue attributable to sales of Essence APAC Solutions during the Term and the formal agreement remaining in full force and effect at the time of satisfaction of the revenue target.

  • As announced to ASX on 9 October 2019, the Company has entered into a convertible loan facility with various sophisticated investors under which the Company will receive $500,000 ( Facility ). The amounts owing under the Facility will be unsecured. Subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval, the amounts owing under the Facility will automatically convert into Shares at the same issue price as Shares issued under the Placement and offered under this Prospectus. This would result in a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares being issued. These Shares will not be issued prior to the Record Date. If Shareholder approval is not obtained, the amounts owing under the Facility will be repayable on 31 March 2020. Interest accrues on the amount outstanding under the Facility at a rate of 1% per month and is payable in cash at the time of conversion or repayment. Total interest payable under the Facility assuming payment on the maturity date of the Facility is approximately $30,000.

  • Comprising:

  • a. 2,486,188 Options exercisable at $0.246 on or before 23 June 2020;

  • Issued pursuant to the Company’s Incentive Performance Rights Plan ( Plan ) as approved by Shareholders. Each Performance Right vests on 1 January 2020 subject to the relevant employees remaining an ‘Eligible Participant’ at that date and expires 4 June 2022. A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in schedule 5 of the Company’s notice of meeting for its general meeting held on 23 August 2018 (released to ASX on 23 July 2018).

The capital structure on a fully diluted basis as at the date of this Prospectus is 896,235,378 Shares and on completion of the Offer (assuming no Options are exercised, or Performance Rights converted prior to the Record Date and ignoring the effect of rounding of fractional Entitlements) would be 1,495,672,270 Shares.

3.5 Details of substantial holders

4. Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

The following is a general description of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. This summary is not exhaustive. Full details of provisions relating to rights attaching to the Shares are contained in the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the Company’s Constitution. A copy of the Company’s Constitution was released to ASX on 16 November 2018.

(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

18

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 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.

5. Risk factors

Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks, which may impact on the Company’s future performance. The Company and its controlled entities have implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however, some are outside its control.

The Directors consider that the matters summarised in this Section 5, which is not exhaustive, represent some of the major risk factors which Applicants need to be aware of in evaluating the Company’s business and risks associated with an investment in the Company. Shareholders should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this Prospectus.

5.1 Specific risks

(a) Trading history

There can be no certainty that HomeStay will achieve or sustain profitability or achieve or sustain positive cash flow from its operating activities. HomeStay’s profitability may be impacted by, among other things, the success of its business strategies (such as the conversion of its current pipeline, go-to-market initiatives and/or pilot programs into ongoing commercial relationships/sales channels, further development of the Intelligent Home Platform, and sales and marketing), its ability to provide a high-quality product and level of service to customers, economic conditions in the markets in which it operates, competition factors, and any regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits (if any) and the time required to achieve sustained profitability are uncertain and cannot be reliably predicted.

(b)

Counterparty risk

Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to any agreement (particularly material agreements such as those with Automation Australia Pty Ltd trading as Essence APAC and Enrich Living Pty Ltd) will not be able to meet its obligations under a contract, may not honour those obligations, or may choose to terminate the contract (validly or otherwise). The strategies of the Company rely on the successful performance of contracts with external parties. There is a risk that these counterparties may not meet their responsibilities, including as a result of insolvency, or financial distress or liquidation of the counterparty, which may expose the Company to the risk of loss. In the case of default or any of the abovementioned scenarios, the Company could also become subject to adverse market movements while replacement transactions are executed. To mitigate counterparty risk, the Company uses best endeavours to conduct relevant due diligence investigations on each party that it contracts with and scales up its due diligence investigations relative to the materiality of the applicable agreement.

(c) Risks associated with updates to the Intelligent Home Platform

The industry in which HomeStay is involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. While HomeStay will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, HomeStay will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of any competitors, whose activities or actions may positively, or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of HomeStay’s business. For instance, new

20

technologies could overtake any advancements made by HomeStay’s suite of Intelligent Home products. In that case, HomeStay’s revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.

The cost and time for a competitor to develop a competing technology may not be significant (particularly for a larger competitor with access to funding and resources). This may result in a heightened risk of competition to HomeStay. If a person or entity successfully develops and commercialises a competing product, this may have a materially adverse effect on the value and prospects of HomeStay.

(d) Third Party Relationship Risk

The Company is dependent in part upon its relationships and alliances with industry participants, hardware providers and service providers. Some of the Company’s partners do, or may in the future, assist the Company in the development of its products through testing, research and development, contract manufacturing, supplier or teaming arrangements or the provision of services. If any of the Company’s existing relationships with partners were impaired or terminated, or if the Company was unable to implement additional partnering arrangements it may require from time to time, the Company could experience significant delays in the development or rollout of products or the provision of services and would incur additional costs or reputational damage. In the event of such parties failing to meet their obligations to the Company on time or at all, the Company may be adversely affected.

(e) Research and Development and Technical Risk

HomeStay’s products and services are the subject of continuous research and development and necessarily need to be substantially developed further in order to gain and maintain competitive and technological advantage, and in order to meaningfully improve the products’ and services’ usability, scalability and accuracy. There are no guarantees that HomeStay will be able to undertake such research and development successfully. Failure to successfully undertake such research and development, anticipate technical problems, or estimate research and development costs or timeframes accurately will adversely affect HomeStay’s results and viability.

(f)

Technology Risk

HomeStay’s market involves rapidly evolving products and technological change. To succeed, HomeStay will need to research, develop, design, test, market and support (i) substantial enhancements to its existing products and (ii) new products, on a timely and cost-effective basis. HomeStay cannot guarantee that it will be able to engage in research and development at the requisite levels. HomeStay cannot assure investors that it will successfully identify new technological opportunities and continue to have the needed financial resources to develop new products in a timely or cost-effective manner. At the same time, products and technologies developed by others may render the Company’s products and systems obsolete or noncompetitive.

(g) Data security risk

HomeStay provides a number of its services online through the applicable Intelligent Home Platform which includes native mobile applications. Hacking or exploitation of some unidentified vulnerability in its website or application (third-party, licenced, or

21

otherwise) could lead to a loss, theft or corruption of data. HomeStay will collect sensitive data relating to user information, demographics, etc., which could be attractive to hacking or exploitation.

This could render a platform unavailable for a period of time, whilst data is restored. It could also lead to unauthorised disclosure of users’ data with associated reputational damage, claims by users and regulatory scrutiny and fines. Although HomeStay has strategies and protections in place to mitigate security breaches and to protect data, these strategies might not be successful. In that event, disruption to the Intelligent Home Platform and unauthorised disclosure of user data could negatively impact upon HomeStay’s reputation, revenues and profitability.

(h)

Commercialisation risk

There is a risk that HomeStay will not be able to successfully commercialise or sell its products (whether these be products that are developed in-house, or comprise of third-party or white label products) or will be unable to attract sufficient customers to be sufficiently profitable to fund future operations.

HomeStay’s ability to generate revenue depends on the sales it makes across its product offerings. As with any business, there is a risk that the marketing strategies may not be effective in generating the increased customer scale that HomeStay is targeting.

The price point of some of HomeStay’s existing or proposed products may be too high compared to other solutions or may not be able to stay at the same or at competitive prices for an extended period. This may lead to difficulties in market acceptance and, if reductions in price are necessary to achieve market penetration, the potential for profit margins will be reduced.

(i)

Intellectual property risk

The architecture, functionality and design of certain HomeStay offerings (Care@Home, Carers Companion, MyDay, and business integration tools) are unique from its competitors. Its code base and algorithms, documentation and process flow, form part of its proprietary trade secret. However, at this current stage, HomeStay has not identified any component of the abovementioned offerings that is patentable. Rather, HomeStay’s intellectual property is protected through contractual obligations imposed on those persons who have been involved (and have the know-how) in the development of HomeStay’s technology.

The value of HomeStay is, to an extent, dependent on HomeStay’s ability to protect its other intellectual property rights through these contractual arrangements and going forward, completing such registrations as are appropriate and other relevant measures. If HomeStay fails to protect its intellectual property rights adequately, competitors may gain access to its technology which would in turn harm its business.

The commercial value of HomeStay’s intellectual property assets is not dependent on any relevant legal protections. These legal mechanisms, however, do not guarantee that the intellectual property will be protected or that HomeStay’s competitive position will be maintained. No assurance can be given that employees or third parties will not breach confidentiality agreements, infringe or misappropriate HomeStay’s intellectual property or commercially sensitive information, or that competitors will not be able to produce non-infringing competitive products.

22

Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of technologies and the complex nature of technologies can lead to expensive and lengthy disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome. There can be no assurance that any intellectual property which HomeStay (or entities it deals with) may have an interest in now or in the future will afford HomeStay commercially significant protection of technologies, or that any of the projects that may arise from technologies will have commercial applications.

It is possible that third parties may assert intellectual property infringement, unfair competition or like claims against HomeStay under copyright, trade secret, patent, or other laws. While HomeStay is not aware of any claims of this nature in relation to any of the intellectual property rights in which it has or will acquire an interest, such claims, if made, may harm, directly or indirectly, HomeStay’s business. If HomeStay is forced to defend claims of intellectual property infringement, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in HomeStay’s favour, the costs of such litigation may be potentially significant and may divert management's attention from normal commercial operations.

(j)

Reliance on third party technology risk

HomeStay intends to grow the Intelligent Home and the Intelligent Home Platform in a way in which it can be utilised by a number of operating systems, internet platforms and other hardware devices. While HomeStay will therefore depend on its products being able to operate on a range of systems, platforms and devices, it is unable to control third party developers of such systems. Any changes to external platforms, systems or devices that give preference to competing products or adversely impact on the functionality of HomeStay’s products may render consumers less likely to use HomeStay’s products, which may have a detrimental impact on HomeStay’s financial performance. Likewise, HomeStay’s products are predicated on consumers being able to access the internet and cellular networks. If third party providers raise the cost of these networks or restrict the ability of consumers to access these networks via HomeStay’s products, this is likely to detrimentally affect HomeStay’s financial performance.

The Intelligent Home incorporates licensed technology from third party platform providers on standard terms and conditions, such as payment gateways, chatbots and project management platforms. Should such licences be terminated or cease to operate, HomeStay will be required to seek alternative platforms or arrangements. There is a risk that such platforms may not be available to HomeStay on equivalent terms, or at all, which may require additional expenditure to continue to operate the Intelligent Home and may have an adverse effect on HomeStay’s ongoing operations.

(k) Contract Risk

The operations of HomeStay will require the involvement of a number of third parties, including suppliers, contractors and customers. With respect to these third parties, and despite applying best practice in terms of pre-contracting due diligence, HomeStay is unable to completely avoid the risk of:

  • (i) financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which HomeStay may become a party;

23

  • (ii) insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by any of the operators and contractors used by HomeStay in its activities; or

  • (iii) insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by any other service providers used by HomeStay or operators for any activity.

Financial failure, insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by such third parties may have a material impact on HomeStay’s operations and performance. Whilst best practice pre-contracting due diligence is undertaken for all third parties engaged by HomeStay, it is not possible for HomeStay to predict or protect itself completely against all such contract risks.

(l)

Regulatory risk

While there is presently no obligation for HomeStay to obtain any licenses or other regulatory approvals to undertake its business, the introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, developments in existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern HomeStay’s operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of HomeStay and its shares. In addition, there is a commercial risk that legal action may be taken against HomeStay in relation to commercial matters.

(m)

Foreign exchange risk

HomeStay may operate in a variety of jurisdictions, including Singapore and Australia, and as such, expects to generate revenue and incur costs and expenses in more than one currency. Accordingly, the depreciation of the Australian dollar and/or the appreciation of the foreign currency relative to the Australian dollar could result in a translation loss on consolidation which is taken directly to shareholder equity.

Any depreciation of the foreign currency relative to the Australian currency may result in lower than anticipated revenue. HomeStay will be affected on an ongoing basis by foreign exchange risks between the Australian dollar and the other foreign currencies and will have to monitor this risk.

(n)

Competition risk

The industry in which HomeStay will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. While similar offerings to those provided by HomeStay may exist internationally, HomeStay is not aware of any direct competitors operating in the jurisdictions targeted by HomeStay. Although HomeStay will undertake reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, HomeStay will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of HomeStay.

(o)

Product liability risk

HomeStay may be exposed to liability claims if its products or services are provided in fault and/or cause harm to its customers. As a result, HomeStay may have to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against such claims.

24

If a successful claim is made against HomeStay, HomeStay may be fined or sanctioned, and its reputation and brand may be negatively impacted, which could materially and adversely affect its reputation, business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

(p)

Insurance risk

HomeStay faces various risks in conducting its business and may lack adequate insurance coverage or may not have the relevant insurance coverage. HomeStay believes it has reasonably adequate coverage for third-party liability insurance, product liability insurance and business interruption insurance. However, HomeStay’s insurance coverage may not be adequate. If HomeStay incurs substantial losses or liabilities and its insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, HomeStay’s financial position and financial performance may be adversely affected.

(q) Risks associated with failure to deal with growth

There is a risk that the Company will not be able to implement HomeStay’s growth strategy. The capacity of the Company to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of HomeStay may affect its financial performance.

(r)

Credit risks

HomeStay will be exposed to credit risks relating to delayed or non-payments from its customers. A failure by HomeStay to adequately assess and manage credit risk may result in credit losses potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on HomeStay’s business, operating and financial performance, including decreased operating cash flows.

(s)

Dependence on the Internet

The successful continuation of the Intelligent Home and the Intelligent Home Platform will depend to some extent on the continued acceptance of the internet as a communications and commerce platform for individuals, devices and enterprises. The internet could become less viable as a business tool due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility and quality-of-service.

The performance of the internet and its acceptance as a business tool have been harmed by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs, and the internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If for any reason the internet does not remain a widespread communications medium and commercial platform, the demand for the Company’s products would be significantly reduced, which would harm its business.

(t)

Sales and Marketing Success

There is no guarantee that sales and marketing campaigns undertaken by the Company will be successful. If they are not, the Company may encounter difficulty in creating market awareness of the Intelligent Home Platform, which would likely have an adverse impact on HomeStay’s revenues.

25

(u) Privacy Concerns

Regulations in various jurisdictions limit tracking and collection of personal identification and information. If HomeStay breaches such regulations, its business, reputation, financial position and financial performance may be detrimentally affected. External events may also cause regulators to amend regulations in respect of the collection and use of user information. Any amended regulations may introduce controls which make the operation of certain types of tracking technologies unusable, which could damage HomeStay’s financial position and financial performance by adding costs by the requirement to develop and implement new technologies.

(v) Reliance on Key Management Personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of HomeStay depends substantially on its senior management and directors. HomeStay’s future depends, in part, on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the performance of HomeStay 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.

If contracts with key management personnel are terminated or breached, or if the relevant personnel were no longer to continue in their current roles, HomeStay would need to engage alternative staff, and HomeStay’s operations and business may be adversely affected. HomeStay may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure, and the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

(w)

Litigation

HomeStay may in the ordinary course of business become involved in litigation and disputes, for example with its contractors or clients. Any such litigation or dispute could involve significant economic costs and damage to relationships with contractors, clients or other stakeholders. Any such outcomes may have an adverse impact on HomeStay’s business, market reputation and financial condition and financial performance. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.

(x) Future Funding Needs

Further funding may be required by HomeStay in the event costs exceed estimates or revenues do not meet estimates, to support its ongoing operations and implement its strategies. For example, funding may be needed to develop new and existing products or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, HomeStay may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all at the relevant time. Any inability to obtain sufficient financing for HomeStay’s activities and future projects may result in the delay or cancellation of certain activities or projects, which would likely adversely affect the potential growth of HomeStay.

26

5.2 General risks

(a) Economic and financial market 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 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.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(b) 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.

(c) Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies and/or products that are complementary to the Company’s 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 user and supplier relationships.

(d) 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 on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes

27

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 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.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Company’s Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against Company.

Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose to the market any information it has which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

Price sensitive information is publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants is also managed through disclosure to ASX. In addition, the Company posts information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

Investors are encouraged to check and monitor any further announcements made by the Company to ASX prior to securities being issued under the Offer. To do so, please refer to the Company’s ASX announcements platform via www.asx.com.au.

By virtue of section 713 of the Corporations Act, the Company is entitled to issue a “transaction-specific” prospectus in respect of the Offer.

In general terms, a “transaction-specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

As a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, the Company states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • (ii) any half-year financial report of the Company lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to above and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC; and

  • (iii) all continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to above and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC (see below).

29

There is no information which has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules that investors or their professional advisers:

  • (a) would reasonably require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:

  • (i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; and

  • (ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities the subject of this Prospectus; and

  • (b) would reasonably expect to find in this Prospectus.

Each of the parties referred to in this Section:

35

  • (a) does not make, or purport to make, any statement in this Prospectus other than those referred to in this Section;

6.9 Electronic prospectus

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Forms. If you have not, please phone the Company on the number set out in the Corporate Directory to this Prospectus and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website as set out in the Corporate Directory to this Prospectus.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form,

36

it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

6.10 Financial 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 are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, 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.

6.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the subregisters are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

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.

6.12 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Shares, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
