2 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

26 May 2015

Dear Investor

The Board is excited to present you with this Prospectus and the opportunity to become a shareholder in the Company, which proposes to enter the rapidly growing Marketplace Lending industry with the proposed acquisition of DirectMoney.

DirectMoney is a pioneer in the Marketplace Lending industry. It provides a simple and fast online application process for unsecured personal loans targeted at high quality retail customers.

Since commencing operations in October 2014, DirectMoney has steadily grown its presence lending to over 350 borrowers, with a total loan book value of approximately $6 million.

Average loan size is between $10,000 and $20,000 with a 3 to 5 year term. Loans are targeted at prime retail borrowers (not ‘payday’ lending customers).

As a participant in the Marketplace Lending industry, DirectMoney will primarily act as an intermediary company between borrowers and lenders in relation to the Personal Loans. DirectMoney originates the Personal Loans, and then after a short ‘warehousing period’ (as explained in Section 5.2(g)), at the election of DirectMoney, the Personal Loans will then be on-sold to an in-house retail fund or investment company managed by DirectMoney or other third party institutions ( Loan Investors ).

After the warehousing period, and assuming sufficient Loan Investors are available for DirectMoney to on-sell the Personal Loans, the returns and credit risk on the Personal Loans are passed through to the Loan Investors. If sufficient Loan Investors are not available, the Personal Loans are kept in the warehouse until such time as Loan Investors are available.

The current loan book of approximately $6 million is currently held in the DirectMoney warehouse but will be on-sold to Loan Investors as funding becomes available from Loan Investors. The redemption profile of the Loan Investors is closely matched to the loan book. DirectMoney earns an origination fee from the borrowers and a fixed management fee for servicing the loans on behalf of the Loan Investors, based on the volume of loans under management. See Section 5 for further information.

DirectMoney holds an Australian Financial Services Licence and an Australian Credit Licence. It has invested approximately $2.5 million over the last few years to establish and refine the intellectual property, systems and licences for its Marketplace Lending platform.

The proposed acquisition of DirectMoney follows previous announcements by the Board that it would seek potential acquisitions with a compelling investment case to re-list and re-capitalise the Company.

The Company intends to raise between $10 million to $15 million (before costs) under this Prospectus to provide it with funds to achieve its business objectives as set out in Section 4.3 and satisfy the ASX requirements for re-quotation. The funds raised will also be used to meet the expenses of the Offer.

The Directors will endeavour to allocate Shares under the Offer to applicants who are existing Shareholders in priority to all other Applicants.

The acquisition of DirectMoney and issue of Shares under this Prospectus are conditional on (among other conditions) Shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on 19 June 2015 ( Meeting ). See Section 4.5 for further details regarding the conditions that apply to the Offer and the Acquisition.

Applicants are cautioned that an investment in the Company is not without risk. Section 6 of this Prospectus outlines key risks associated with an investment in the Company.

P a g e | 5

Some potential risks associated with an investment in the Company relate to the fact that DirectMoney’s business model is a relatively new operating model, and in particular, that the Company’s prospects may be adversely affected if it is unable to attract borrowers or sufficient funding from third party investors in order to be able to on-sell loans provided to borrowers by the Company, borrower credit risk and default, the reliance on key personnel with relevant industry experience, potential undisclosed liabilities associated with DirectMoney and the Company and the fact that the Offer and Acquisition are subject to various conditions, which if not satisfied (or waived), may prevent the Offer and Acquisition from proceeding as proposed.

The Board looks forward to welcoming you as a new Shareholder and thanks existing Shareholders for their continued interest and further investment in the Company.

Yours sincerely

3.4 About the Company and DirectMoney

Below is a summary of the Company and its operations on completion of the Acquisition and conclusion of the Offer.

Background on the
The Company was incorporated on 2 May 1966 and was listed
Section 5.1
Company on ASX on 16 March 1989. It has historically operated as a
design and manufacture business in the automotive industry.
Following difficult trading conditions, the majority of the
Company’s business was sold to a third party in June 2013. A
property owned by the Company and certain residual assets
were subsequently sold by early 2014. As a result of the sale of
these assets, the Company’s shares were suspended from

P a g e | 9

trading in January 2014.
The proceeds of sale were returned to Shareholders by way of a
capital return in June 2014, and a subsequent dividend in
October 2014.
In October 2014, a new board of directors was appointed to the
Company comprising Winton Willesee as Non-Executive
Chairman and Campbell McComb, Andrew McKay and Robert
Parton as Non-Executive directors.
The new board has been aggressively exploring options to
realise the value of the corporate shell. On 24 March 2015 the
Company was pleased to announce its agreement with
DirectMoney to enter into the Transaction and undertake the
Offer.
Background on DirectMoney is a pioneer in the Marketplace Lending industry. Section 5.2
DirectMoney DirectMoney provides a simple and fast online application
process for unsecured personal loans targeted at high quality
retail customers.
Since commencing operations in October 2014, DirectMoney
has steadily grown its presence lending to over 350 borrowers,
with a total loan book value of approximately $6 million. The
average loan size is between $10,000 and $20,000 with a 3 to 5
year term and loans are targeted at prime retail borrowers (not
‘payday’ lending customers).
It holds an Australian Financial Services Licence and an
Australian Credit Licence and has invested approximately $2.5
million over the past seven years to develop intellectual
property, systems and licences for its Marketplace Lending
platform.
The current shareholders of DirectMoney have been exploring
options to raise new capital to further grow the business and
realise a return for existing investors. On 24 March 2015 the
Company announced its agreement with DirectMoney to enter
into the Transaction and complete the Offer.
DirectMoney’s DirectMoney currently derives revenue from its loan book of Section 5.2
Strategic approximately $6 million in Personal Loans which are held in the
Objectives and Loan Warehouse. For such time as loans are held in the Loan
Business Model Warehouse and not sold to Loan Investors, the returns and
credit risk on the loans are to the account of DirectMoney.
DirectMoney’s business model is to primarily act as an
intermediary company between borrowers and lenders in
relation to the Personal Loans. To this end, DirectMoney has
recently launched an in-house fund called the ‘DirectMoney
Personal Loan Fund’ (see Section 5.2(h)) for this purpose. As
the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund receives funding from
investors, loans held in the Loan Warehouse will be sold to the
DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund. At that point, the returns and
credit risk of the loans will be passed through to the Loan
Investors, being an in-house retail fund or investment company
managed by DirectMoney, or other third party institutions.
The DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is a registered managed
investment scheme. Investors’ money is pooled and invested

P a g e | 10

into Personal Loans acquired from DirectMoney.
DirectMoney has also recently established a private wholesale
investment company called ‘DirectMoney Marketplace Limited’.
DirectMoney intends to seek a listing of DirectMoney
Marketplace Limited on ASX in late 2015.
After the warehousing period, and assuming sufficient Loan
Investors are available for DirectMoney to on-sell the Personal
Loans, the returns and credit risk on the Personal Loans are
passed through to the Loan Investors. If sufficient Loan
Investors are not available, the Personal Loans are kept in the
warehouse until such time as Loan Investors are available.
The current loan book of approximately $6 million is currently
held in the DirectMoney warehouse but will be on-sold to Loan
Investors as funding becomes available from the Loan
Investors.
The redemption profile of the Loan Investors is closely matched
to the loan book. DirectMoney earns an origination fee from the
borrowers and a fixed management fee for servicing the loans
on behalf of the Loan Investors based on the amount of loans
under management.
In the longer term, DirectMoney may seek to expand its
business to also cover home mortgages, small business loans
and other finance products to borrowers.
DirectMoney will always focus on operating in Marketplace
Lending and so, subject to the Loan Warehouse, will primarily
act as an intermediary in relation to these products. However, in
the future it may also at times consider funding to DirectMoney
Personal Loan Fund or DirectMoney Marketplace Limited in
order to earn a higher rate of return.
Board & Following the Completion Date, the Board will comprise Stephen Section 7
Management Team Porges as Executive Chairman, Campbell McComb as
Executive Director and Craig Swanger as Non-Executive
Director. The details of the expertise of Stephen, Campbell and
Craig are set out in Section 7.1 and the details of the expertise
of the Company’s management team, are set out in Section 7.2.
Further Capital On completion of the Offer, the Board believes that the Sections 4.3
Requirements Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its and 5.4
stated business objectives. However, generally speaking, there
can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without
further financing or, if further financing is necessary, that it can
be obtained on favourable terms or at all if materially adverse
trading conditions or other unexpected factors emerge.
Financial Following the change in the nature of its activities, the Company Sections 5.1
Information will be focused on developing DirectMoney’s Marketplace and 8
Lending business. Therefore, the Company’s past operational
and financial historical performance will not be of significant
relevance to future activities, especially bearing in mind that the
Company is not trading and has no material assets or liabilities.
The Directors consider that it is not possible to accurately
predict the future revenues or profitability DirectMoney’s
business or whether any material revenues or profitability will

P a g e | 11

eventuate.
As a result, the Company is not in a position to disclose any key
financial ratios or financial information other than the following
(as set out in Section 8):

historical consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income for the six month period ended 31
December 2014 (H1 FY2015) of DirectMoney;

historical consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for H1
FY2015 of DirectMoney; and

pro forma historical consolidated Statement of Financial
Position of the combined Company and DirectMoney group
as at 31 December 2014.
Related Party Section 12.8 provides the details of any significant interests and Section 12.8
Interests benefits (including Share issues) payable to Directors, Proposed
Directors and other persons connected with the Company or the
Offer and any significant related party transactions (including
with Directors or Proposed Directors).
3.5 Summary of the Acquisition

Acquisition shares in DirectMoney, the Company will issue Shares to the
Vendors by way of consideration, in proportion to their
shareholding in DirectMoney.

seeking Shareholder approval for the change to the nature and
scale of the Company’s activities, issuing a prospectus and
obtaining a sufficient number of Shareholders with the requisite
number of Shares in accordance with those rules.

3.7 Key Investment Highlights

The key highlights relating to an investment in the Company include:

Investment in Marketplace Lending is a new type of financial service that Section 5.6(a)
rapidly growing introduces borrowers and investors via an online platform. By
industry operating more efficiently than the banks it aims to deliver lower
rates for borrowers and higher returns for investors. Given the
higher margins between current bank deposit rates of
approximately 2% to 3% per annum and bank personal loan
rates of around 14% per annum in Australia, DirectMoney
believes that a significant opportunity exists to use disruptive
technology to undercut such margins. DirectMoney believes
that similar market conditions in the United States are driving
significant growth in Marketplace Lending.
Experience of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 set out the experience of the Proposed Section 5.6(b)
Executive Directors and key DirectMoney management personnel
Chairman and key (including that of DirectMoney’s Executive Chairman, Stephen
management in Porges) both in the financial services industry generally and in
industry the Marketplace Lending industry in particular. The
DirectMoney team has over 200 years of funds management,
banking, credit, network marketing and IT experience. This
combined industry experience with be key to DirectMoney
achieving its strategic objectives.
Opportunity to DirectMoney has established an innovative structure to assist Section 5.6(c)
leverage off the with its Marketplace Lending platform called a Loan
growth and key Warehouse. DirectMoney maintains funding in the Loan
differentiation Warehouse to enable it to write Personal Loans to suitably
strategy of qualified borrowers as soon as their credit is approved. In
DirectMoney contrast, under some other models used by competitors,
investors bid on fractions of a loan amount, with loans only
being provided once bidding on 100% of the loan amount is
reached. This leads to delays in loan funding, which
DirectMoney avoids through the use of the Loan Warehouse.
DirectMoney believes it should experience faster growth earlier
in its operations by using whole loan pooling and funding.
Relationship with DirectMoney has recently launched an in-house fund called the Section 5.6(d)
unique ‘DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund’. The purpose of the
DirectMoney DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is to provide investors with
Personal Loan monthly income distributions and a rate of return higher than
Fund the rate of return paid by banks on savings and deposit
accounts. DirectMoney has entered into a Loan Sale and
Servicing Deed with the Responsible Entity of the DirectMoney
Personal Loan Fund under which it is entitled to on-sell
personal loans written by DirectMoney to the DirectMoney
Personal Loan Fund. DirectMoney earns an origination fee
from the borrowers and a fixed management fee for servicing
the loans on behalf of the Loan Investors on the volume of
loans under management.
DirectMoney The DirectMoney marketing team has extensive experience in Section 5.6(e)
Software and digital marketing gained from leading eCommerce companies,
Marketing Plans banks and financial services companies. The marketing team
will target borrowers aged over 21 years old with good
employment and a sound credit history. It also intends to target
multiple partnering opportunities with established branded

P a g e | 14

vendors of products suitable for funding with personal loans or
introducing borrowers such as mortgage brokers, credit unions
and, building societies. Partnering with established brands
should lower customer acquisition costs, increase credit quality
and enhance DirectMoney’s brand image and exposure.
High margin, high The personal loan market in Australia enjoys high rates of Section 5.6(g)
growth opportunity
interest compared with other countries and other loan products.
The average rate charged by the five largest Australian banks
on prime personal loans is around 14.0%. DirectMoney aims to
under-cut this rate while at the same time paying a net return
that will compare favourably with bank deposits.
Barriers to entry Being a relatively new industry, Marketplace Lending is subject Section 5.6(h)
to regulation and licensing requirements which creates barriers
for new entrants. DirectMoney has exerted much time, money
and expertise in developing its platform and obtaining all of the
required regulatory licences to operate as a marketplace lender
in Australia.
Strong early As identified in Section 5.2(a) above, since commencing Section 5.6(i)
traction lending in October 2014, DirectMoney has rapidly grown its
presence and has now lent to over 350 borrowers, with a total
loan book value of approximately $6 million.

3.8 Key Investment Risks

Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. The key risks highlighted below, together with other risks, are more particularly described in Section 6. These risks may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative.

Risks associated with an investment in the Company

Failure of Although DirectMoney believes its proposed operations and Section 6.1(a)
DirectMoney’s business model (see Section 5) will be successful, especially
business model considering DirectMoney’s early successful operations to date,
the experience of its key personnel in the Marketplace Lending
industry and the key areas of differentiation between
DirectMoney’s business model and that of its competitors, any
number of factors could adversely affect DirectMoney’s
proposed operations and business model and no assurance
can be given that the Company will be successful in the
Marketplace Lending industry.
Credit risk As a lending business, DirectMoney is at risk of some or all of Sections 5.2(i),
its borrowers failing or becoming unable to repay their loans. 5.2(j) and 6.1(b)
While loans are targeted at prime retail borrowers (not ‘payday’
lending customers), the loans are unsecured and so are subject
to the capacity of the individual borrower to repay the loan.
As identified in Sections 5.2(d), 5.2(g) and 5.2(h), DirectMoney
manages its credit risk in a number of ways, including through
thorough borrower screening and credit checking processes, its
Loan Warehouse and transfer of loans to Loan Investors
(including the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and
DirectMoney Marketplace Limited who assume exposure to the
loan after expiry of the warehouse period). See Sections 5.2(i)
and 5.2(j) for further information regarding DirectMoney’s

P a g e | 15

business structure and defaults in its Personal Loans.
Inability to recover If a Personal Loan is in default, the cost of recovery of the debt Section 6.1(c)
default loans under that loan is generally greater than the amount recovered
and, as such, will at times require Personal Loans to be written
off as bad debts. This risk is potentially higher in the personal
loan industry, particularly given the size of the loans and that
they are unsecured. High levels of bad debt could limit
DirectMoney’s profitability and adversely affect its performance
in the future. As referred to above, DirectMoney seeks to
manage its credit risk in a number of ways, including through
thorough borrower screening and credit checking processes.
Fraudulent There is a general ongoing risk that borrowers may deliberately Sections 5.2(j)
borrowers fabricate evidence to support their loan applications and that and 6.1(d)
they have no intention of paying off their loan. As a cash
business, fraud could also be committed by employees
internally. Although DirectMoney has procedures in place to
detect fraudulent applications and activities, the risk of fraud
cannot be discounted. As noted in Section 5.2(j), DirectMoney
has been the subject of a borrower fraud attack before and has
since implemented procedures to significantly tighten its credit
policy and restructure its credit team.
Personal Loans are
DirectMoney’s Personal Loans are generally issued on an
Section 6.1(e)
unsecured unsecured basis. DirectMoney’s financial position could
adversely change if a significant percentage of its loan book is
not repaid and recovery procedures prove inadequate to recoup
funds.
Ability to attract DirectMoney’s on-going viability is strongly linked to its ability to Section 6.1(f)
borrowers attract suitable borrowers and increase the volume of loans
managed by DirectMoney. DirectMoney seeks to manage this
issue (and will continue to do so) through appropriate marketing
to potential borrowers through various channels.
Ability to source DirectMoney’s on-going viability is strongly linked to its ability to Section 6.1(g)
third party funding source sufficient third party funding to enable it to have funds to
lend to potential borrowers. DirectMoney seeks to manage this
risk by sourcing third party lending from various sources,
including from funds it manages such as DirectMoney Personal
Loan Fund. Arrangements with third party lenders such as the
DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, however may be subject to
certain termination rights. Importantly, there is no assurance
that DirectMoney will be able to source sufficient funding from
third party funding sources over time.
Concentration risk DirectMoney only invests in unsecured personal loans with a Section 6.1(h)
minimum amount of $5,000 and a maximum amount of
$35,000. This is a specific and discrete type of asset and
therefore DirectMoney may be exposed to any market
conditions which impact that specific type of asset.
Reliance on key The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and Section 6.1(i)
personnel the strategic management of DirectMoney depends
substantially on senior management and its key personnel.
There can be no assurance given that there will be no
detrimental impact on DirectMoney if one or more of these

P a g e | 16

employees cease their employment or if one or more of the
Proposed Directors leaves the Board.
Operational Certain aspects of DirectMoney’s lending systems are manual Section 6.1(j)
constraints and can be labour-intensive, such as that borrower employment
verification requires manual phone calls by customer service
representatives and responsible lending regulations also
require telephone time with borrowers. These requirements
could potentially slow down the efficiency of the business,
particularly as the volume of loans increases. In the meantime,
these issues are well understood and incorporated into
budgeting and staffing plans. DirectMoney has invested
approximately $2.5 million over the last few years to establish
and refine its intellectual property, systems and licences.
Potential There may be liabilities that the Company fails or is unable to Section 6.1(k)
undisclosed discover in due diligence, both in relation to itself and in relation
liabilities to DirectMoney, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition.
The discovery of any material liabilities could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition
and future prospects.
Conditions of the The Offer and issue of Vendor Consideration Shares are Section 6.1(l)
Offer and issue of subject to the conditions in Section 4.5, which must be satisfied
Vendor (or waived) prior to issue of Shares pursuant to the Offer and
Consideration completion of the Agreement by issue of the Vendor
Shares Consideration Shares. If the conditions are not satisfied (or
waived), the Offer and completion of the Agreement and
Acquisition may not proceed.
Reinstatement to The Company’s Shares are currently suspended from trading Section 6.1(m)
ASX’s official list on ASX. In the event that all Acquisition Resolutions are
approved at the Meeting, it is anticipated that the Company’s
Shares will remain suspended until completion of the
Agreement, Capital Raising and re-compliance by the Company
with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and compliance
with any further conditions ASX imposes on such
reinstatement. There is a risk that the Company will not be able
to satisfy one or more of those requirements and that its Shares
may consequently remain suspended from quotation.
Contractual risk DirectMoney’s operations are underpinned by various material Section 6.1(n)
agreements (as summarised in Section 11) and its success is
to a large extent reliant on the various counterparties fulfilling
their respective obligations under those agreements. To the
extent that this does not occur, DirectMoney may be adversely
affected.
Information There are risks associated with reliance on information Section 6.1(o)
technology risk technology, including technology failure interrupting the
availability of services, data or information loss, or data or
information theft. The DirectMoney website, through which
borrowers apply for loans, may be the subject of malicious or
criminal attacks, such as hacking or denial of service attacks.
Such activity could impact on DirectMoney’s business and
ability to source loans and third party investors.

P a g e | 17

Documentation risk DirectMoney is a party to a number of legal documents, Section 6.1(p)
including loan documents with borrowers and management and
loan sale and security documents with Loan Investors. If there
is any deficiency in such documents, it could adversely affect
DirectMoney and its rights and liabilities under such
arrangements.
Industry-specific risks
Competition DirectMoney competes directly with banks for personal loan Section 6.2(a)
customers. Banks (particularly Australia’s so called “big 4
banks”) are well established mainstays in this lending segment
and have substantially more capital at their disposal to attract
borrowers. Additionally, DirectMoney and other entrants in the
Marketplace Lending industry generally remain viable by
undercutting the relatively high interest rates offered by these
banks. DirectMoney’s profitability could be affected if the banks
respond to this competitive pressure by reducing their personal
loan interest rates.
Regulation The Company may be exposed to the risk of changes to Section 6.2(b)
applicable laws or underlying policy or their interpretation that
have an impact on the Company, its investments or returns to
Shareholders or the risk of non-compliance with reporting or
other legal obligations. In particular, the Marketplace Lending
industry is relatively new in Australia and regulators could
review the regulatory regime which applies to it. There is
therefore a risk that new regulations or regulators could be
introduced to this industry, and they may impose unforeseen
compliance burdens resulting in delays and extra cost for the
Company, which could adversely affect its operations and
prospects.
Licensing risk If the Australian Financial Services Licence or Australian Credit Section 6.2(c)
Licence of DirectMoney is suspended or revoked, then this
could adversely impact the operations of the Company. It may
also affect its ability to manage the DirectMoney Personal Loan
Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited from which it
intends to derive revenue.
Compliance with DirectMoney is required to comply with certain responsible Section 6.2(d)
regulated loans lending obligations, and other obligations, including under the
NCCP. DirectMoney may be affected if it fails to comply with its
obligations under these regulations.
Defaults If the Australian economy enters into a recession there is a risk Section 6.2(e)
that the Company’s loan book may suffer higher levels of
defaults than anticipated when loans were written.
General investment risks
Market risk Investment returns are influenced by market factors. These Section 6.3(a)
factors include the change in the economic (e.g. changes in
interest rates), legislative and political environment, as well as
changes in investor sentiment. In addition, exogenous shocks,
natural disasters and acts of terrorism can (and sometimes do)
add to equity market volatility as well as impact directly on

P a g e | 18

individual entities. As a result, no guarantee can be given in
respect of the future earnings of the Company or the earnings
and capital appreciation of the Company’s investments.
Interest rate risk Changes in the interest rates within Australia may impact Section 6.3(b)
directly or indirectly on DirectMoney. For the period any Loans
are held in the Loan Warehouse, falling interest rates may
reduce the return DirectMoney earns on new Personal Loans
which are subject to lower interest rates. Increased competition
in the personal unsecured loan market generally may also see
the rate of interest charged to borrowers reduce, and this may
reduce the income of DirectMoney.
Industry risk There are a number of industry risk factors that may affect the Section 6.3(c)
future operation or performance of the Company. These
factors are outside the control of the Company. Such factors
include increased competition, regulatory and compliance costs
and variations in legislation and government policies generally.
Liquidity risk The Company is a listed entity, therefore the ability to sell Section 6.3(d)
Shares is a function of the turnover of the Company’s Shares at
the time of sale. Turnover itself is a function of the size of the
Company and also the cumulative investment intentions of all
current and possible investors in the Company at any one point
in time.
Operational costs Operational costs for the Company as a proportion of total Section 6.3(e)
assets may be affected by the level of total assets of the
Company and by the level of acceptance of the Offer.
Operational costs may represent a greater proportion of total
assets and could reduce the operating results of the Company
and accordingly the ability to make dividend payments if the
Company only achieves the minimum subscription under the
Offer than if it secures a greater level of acceptance.
Further funding The Directors believe that, on completion of the Offer, the Section 6.3(h)
requirements Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its
stated business objectives. However, generally speaking, there
can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without
further financing or, if further financing is necessary, that it can
be obtained on favourable terms or at all, if materially adverse
trading conditions or other external unexpected emerge. If
additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, this may
result in dilution of some or all of the Shareholders.

5 BACKGROUND ON THE COMPANY, DIRECTMONEY AND THE MARKETPLACE LENDING INDUSTRY

5.1 Background on the Company

The Company was incorporated on 2 May 1966 and was listed on ASX on 16 March 1989. Historically it operated as a design and manufacture business in the automotive industry.

Following difficult trading conditions, the majority of the Company’s business was sold to a third party in June 2013. A property owned by the Company and certain residual assets were subsequently sold by early 2014. As a result of the sale of these assets, the Company’s shares were suspended from trading on 6 January 2014.

The proceeds of sale were returned to shareholders by way of a capital return in June 2014, and a subsequent dividend in October 2014.

In October 2014, a new board of directors was appointed to the Company comprising Winton Willesee as Non-Executive Chairman and Campbell McComb, Andrew McKay and Robert Parton as Non-Executive directors.

The new board has been aggressively exploring options to realise the value of the corporate shell. On 24 March 2015 the Company was pleased to announce its agreement with DirectMoney to enter into the Transaction and undertake the Offer.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no material assets or liabilities.

Please refer to the Company’s relevant ASX announcements, including the Company’s annual report lodged on ASX on 12 March 2015 and to the Company’s 31 December 2014 half-yearly report lodged on ASX on 10 April 2015, for further information.

On 24 March 2015 the Company announced its agreement with DirectMoney to enter into the Acquisition and complete the Offer.

5.2 Background on DirectMoney, its Operations and Business Model

(a) Overview

DirectMoney is a pioneer in the Marketplace Lending industry.

Since commencing lending in October 2014, DirectMoney has rapidly grown its presence and has now lent to over 350 borrowers, with a total loan book value of approximately $6 million.

The loans are unsecured loans to personal borrowers who are resident in Australia ( Personal Loans ).

The minimum loan amount is $5,000 and the maximum loan amount is $35,000 (excluding any loan application fee that may be payable). The average loan amount is between $10,000 and $20,000. The loan terms are 3 or 5 years.

The loans are targeted at prime retail borrowers. DirectMoney does not target sub-prime or ‘payday’ borrowers.

As a participant in the Marketplace Lending industry, DirectMoney will primarily act as an intermediary company between borrowers and lenders in relation to the Personal Loans.

DirectMoney originates the Personal Loans. After a short ‘warehousing period’ (as explained in Section 5.2(g)), at the election of DirectMoney, the Personal Loans will then be on-sold to an in-house retail fund or investment company managed by DirectMoney or other third party institutions ( Loan Investors ).

DirectMoney has recently launched an in-house fund called the ‘DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund’ for this purpose. The DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is a registered managed investment scheme. Investors’ money is pooled and invested into Personal Loans acquired from DirectMoney.

DirectMoney has also recently established a private wholesale investment company called ‘DirectMoney Marketplace Limited’. DirectMoney intends to seek a listing of DirectMoney Marketplace Limited on ASX in late 2015.

After the warehousing period, and assuming sufficient Loan Investors are available for DirectMoney to on-sell the Personal Loans, the returns and credit risk on the Personal Loans are passed through to the Loan Investors. If sufficient Loan Investors are not available, the Personal Loans are kept in the warehouse until such time as Loan Investors are available.

The current loan book of approximately $6 million is currently held in the DirectMoney warehouse but will be on-sold to Loan Investors as funding becomes available from the Loan Investors.

The redemption profile of the Loan Investors is closely matched to the loan book. DirectMoney earns an origination fee from the borrowers and a fixed management fee for servicing the loans on behalf of the Loan Investors based on the volume of loans under management.

DirectMoney holds an Australian Financial Services Licence and an Australian Credit Licence.

The diagram below demonstrates how DirectMoney will operate its business following the completion of the Acquisition and Capital Raising and subsequent re-admission to the official list of ASX:

==> picture [461 x 272] intentionally omitted <==

In the longer term, DirectMoney may seek to expand its business to also cover home mortgages, small business loans and other finance products to borrowers.

DirectMoney will always focus on operating in Marketplace Lending and so, subject to the Loan Warehouse, will primarily act as an intermediary in relation to these products. However, in the future it may also at times consider funding to DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund or DirectMoney Marketplace Limited in order to earn a higher rate of return.

P a g e | 25

(b) Background on the Marketplace Lending industry

Marketplace Lending is a new financial services model operated by intermediary companies (such as DirectMoney) which originate consumer loans funded by Loan Investors.

The intermediary company does not borrow to lend and instead acts as a fund manager earning an origination fee from borrowers and a fixed management fee for servicing the loans on behalf of the Loan Investors. Credit risk is assumed by the Loan Investors and the redemption profile of the Loan Investors is closely matched to the loan book. Loan Investors generally earn higher rates of return compared to bank deposits because of the low capital requirements and cost-efficient technology used by intermediary companies.

Marketplace Lending is an improved version of peer-to-peer lending, which is an older industry model with several disadvantages, including the risk of being substantially exposed as an investor to a single loan and the effort required for investors to match their funds with individual borrowers. The in-house retail funds to be managed by DirectMoney are structured such that money is pooled and invested in a portfolio of Personal Loans written by DirectMoney, so an individual investor is not exposed to a single loan, as is normally the case with traditional peer-to-peer lenders.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that around $4 billion in personal loans are approved each month in Australia.

The personal loan market is highly profitable for Australian banks. Australian banks are among the world’s most profitable banks with personal loans on average representing 3% of assets and 16% of profits.

DirectMoney believes that a significant opportunity exists to use disruptive technology to undercut the higher margins between current bank deposit rates of 2% to 3% and bank personal loan rates of around 14% per annum in Australia.

Similar market conditions in the United States are driving significant growth in Marketplace Lending and peer-to-peer lending.

Marketplace Lending is disrupting banking by using internet and cloud technology to directly connect borrowers with investors and provide better value for all parties.

DirectMoney understands that there is currently only one Australian peer-to-peer lender and two European-based lenders competing with banks in Australia. DirectMoney does not compete in pay day lending, which is a separate small market.

(c) Regulation

The main day-to-day regulation of the marketplace lending industry and DirectMoney’s business is governed by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth), including the National Credit Code and National Consumer Protection Regulations ( NCCP ).

DirectMoney holds an Australian Credit Licence which authorises it to engage in credit activity for the purposes of the NCCP.

The NCCP imposes a number of responsible lending conduct requirements, including ensuring that DirectMoney does not provide credit products or services that are unsuitable for borrowers, either because they do not meet the borrower’s requirements or because the borrower does not have capacity to meet the repayments.

It also provides borrowers with an opportunity to ask for a variation to a loan where the consumer is suffering hardship, and contains an external dispute resolution scheme to resolve any disputes between lenders and borrowers.

P a g e | 26

DirectMoney also holds an Australian Financial Services Licence ( AFSL ). The AFSL authorises DirectMoney to carry on a financial services business to provide general financial product advice (including deposits, interests in managed investment schemes and securities), deal in financial products and provide custodial or depository services to retail and wholesale clients.

Like other marketplace lenders, DirectMoney is not required to be authorised under the Banking Act 1959 (Cth) and is not supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).

In addition, the other key regulation relevant to DirectMoney’s business is:

  • The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and associated privacy principles with respect to the collection and use of personal information.

  • The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth), which imposes obligations to identify, mitigate and manage money laundering and terrorism financing risk.

  • The Australian Consumer Law which sets out consumer rights and guarantees.

  • The Australian Securities and Investments Commission Debt Collection Guidelines which outlines the rights and obligations of creditors, collectors and debtors with respect to debt collection, and is designed to ensure that debt collection activity is undertaken in a way that is consistent with consumer protection laws.

(d) Personal Loans

DirectMoney writes unsecured Personal Loans.

The Personal Loans are written through DirectMoney’s online lending platform or approved credit processes.

DirectMoney has already invested significant capital to establish and refine its intellectual property, systems and licences for its online lending platform.

DirectMoney can provide online same working day approval and settlement for approved borrowers.

All Personal Loans have a fixed monthly repayment consisting of principal and interest amounts, such that by the end of a loan’s term it must be fully repaid. A loan may be repaid early by the borrower without penalty.

DirectMoney lends relatively small amounts to a large number of borrowers who satisfy DirectMoney’s minimum credit score requirements.

The minimum loan amount is $5,000 and the maximum loan amount is $35,000 (excluding any loan application fee that may be payable). The average loan amount is between $10,000 and $20,000. The loan terms are 3 or 5 years.

The minimum and maximum loan amounts and other loan terms may be changed by DirectMoney at its discretion and notice of any change will be provided at www.directmoney.com.au.

Personal Loans will be principally written through DirectMoney’s online lending platform, however, it is possible that in the future DirectMoney may also consider purchasing Personal Loans from other lenders where the loans meet DirectMoney’s yield and credit quality requirements.

(e) Credit assessment procedures

A potential borrower must satisfy DirectMoney’s credit policy’s requirements.

P a g e | 27

The credit risk assessment process is governed by a detailed Credit Policy and Credit Manual which contains procedures to assess the creditworthiness of loan applicants, approve and decline loans and set interest rates. A credit committee meets monthly to assess performance and amend the Credit Policy and Credit Manual as appropriate.

Amongst other things, a potential borrower must demonstrate a good credit record, a history of stable employment and sufficient disposable income to meet loan commitments before they are approved for a loan.

The credit assessment process includes:

  • Applicant identity verification consistent with current anti-money laundering and counter terrorism funding laws.

  • Employment status and employment history verification – this includes speaking to the applicant’s employer and checking the ABN and other details of the employer.

  • Bank account transaction review.

  • Compliance with responsible lending regulations.

  • Anti-fraud checks.

  • Assessment of an applicant’s overall capacity to repay their loan.

DirectMoney uses a scoring methodology to assess the creditworthiness of individual borrowers during the assessment of their application for a loan and the interest rate offered to each borrower reflects their score. DirectMoney will only lend to borrowers who meet a minimum credit score requirement.

DirectMoney also takes active steps to reduce exposure to fraud, including the use of third party provider’s fraud checking services and making payments only to the nominated and approved cheque account held by the applicant.

(f) Marketing

The DirectMoney marketing team has extensive experience in digital marketing gained from leading eCommerce companies, banks and financial services companies.

The marketing team will target borrowers aged over 21 years old with good employment and a sound credit history. DirectMoney targets borrowers seeking loans for credit card consolidation, home improvement, pools, travel, weddings, medical, education, solar panels and other expenses.

The marketing team will conduct a multi-channel strategy with multiple test and refine campaign experiments. A data driven approach will be taken where campaign experiments are monitored, evaluated, improved, and expanded where successful. Channels to be used include search engine optimisation, paid search engine advertising, direct email, social media and affiliates. DirectMoney also expects to list its Personal Loan product on comparison ratings sites.

DirectMoney also intends to target multiple partnering opportunities with established branded vendors of products suitable for funding with personal loans or introducing borrowers such as mortgage brokers, credit unions, building societies, health providers and insurers, general insurers, car dealers, credit bureaus, travel vendors, schools and wedding venues. Partnering with established brands will lower customer acquisition costs, increase credit quality and enhance DirectMoney’s brand image and exposure.

P a g e | 28

DirectMoney marketing will be guided by a trial and measurement approach and media spending will be committed after trial campaigns have met ROI targets. A comprehensive database is being integrated into the DirectMoney website infrastructure to track inbound calls, correspondence, online ad impressions, rollovers, click-throughs, conversions, customer acquisition cost and customer lifetime value. This detailed measurement approach will enable continuous fine tuning of marketing campaigns.

(g) Loan Warehouse

DirectMoney has established an innovative structure to assist with its Marketplace Lending platform called a Loan Warehouse .

In the same way that supermarkets keep a stock of goods available to meet demand at various times and in varying amounts, DirectMoney maintains funding in a Loan Warehouse to enable it to immediately write Personal Loans to suitably qualified borrowers as soon as their credit is approved.

DirectMoney intends to fund its Loan Warehouse with equity in keeping with its policy of zero leverage on its lending platform.[2]

A significant proportion of the proceeds of the Capital Raising are to be used for the purposes of funding the Loan Warehouse as referred to in Section 4.3. The increased size of the Loan Warehouse following the Capital Raising is expected to give DirectMoney the ability to significantly increase the number of loans written to borrowers.

After each loan is written, it will be held in the Loan Warehouse for a minimum ‘warehousing period’ until the borrower has paid their first repayment under the loan (which is 30 days from the date of settlement of the loan). This is to determine that the borrower is bona fide and not a fraudulent applicant. Based on operational experience, DirectMoney considers that the likelihood of a borrower being fraudulent is significantly reduced if the first repayment is received.

After the warehousing period, at the election of DirectMoney, loans will then be on-sold to an in-house retail fund or investment company managed by DirectMoney or other third party institutions ( Loan Investor ). See Section 5.2(h) for further information.

After the warehousing period, and assuming sufficient Loan Investors are available for DirectMoney to on-sell the Personal Loans, the returns and credit risk on the Personal Loans are passed through to the Loan Investors. If sufficient Loan Investors are not available, the Personal Loans are kept in the warehouse until such time as Loan Investors are available.

The current loan book of approximately $6 million is currently held in the DirectMoney warehouse but will be on-sold to Loan Investors as funding becomes available from the Loan Investors. For such time as the loans are held in the Loan Warehouse and not sold to the Loan Investors, the returns and credit risk on the loans are to the account of DirectMoney only.

2 DirectMoney does not currently have any debt on its balance sheet at the date of this Prospectus other than a secured loan from an existing DirectMoney shareholder, Greig Holdings Pty Limited ACN 105 872 302 ( Greig Holdings ) of $2 million ( Secured Loan ). Under a Deed of Confirmation and Security dated 15 May 2015, DirectMoney and Greig Holdings have agreed that the Secured Loan will be repaid by DirectMoney in full on 15 June 2015. On repayment of the loan, the security in respect of the Secured Loan (which is security over $2 million of Personal Loans held by DirectMoney) will be released. DirectMoney intends to repay the Secured Loan with the proceeds of funds anticipated to be received from the sale of Personal Loans to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, DirectMoney Marketplace Limited and other third party institutions if necessary prior to 15 June 2015. The effect of this transaction is that the Loan Warehouse and DirectMoney and its subsidiaries will not have any debt on their balance sheet as at the Re-admission Date. Please see Section 11.4 below for further details.

P a g e | 29

(h) Loan Investors

Under the Marketplace Lending model to be operated by DirectMoney, after the short ‘warehousing period’ referred to in Section 1.5(e) above. DirectMoney intends to on-sell any Personal Loans it originates to an in-house retail fund or investment company managed by DirectMoney or other third party institutions (Loan Investors).

Details of the Loan Investors to whom DirectMoney intends to sell Personal Loans are set out below.

The decision on which Loan Investor to sell loans to, and the value of loans to be sold, is at the discretion of DirectMoney in all cases, and will be determined by DirectMoney according to which Loan Investor has the capacity to purchase the Personal Loans at the relevant time and any other relevant considerations.

DirectMoney will sell Personal Loans to these entities, and in the case of in-house Loan Investors which it has established such as the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited described below, it has entered into arrangements to manage these entities and the Personal Loans they acquire in exchange for certain fees and charges payable to DirectMoney and its subsidiaries, as described below.

DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund

DirectMoney has recently launched an in-house fund to investors called the ‘DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund’.

The DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is a registered managed investment scheme (ARSN 602 325 628).

Investors’ money is pooled and invested into Personal Loans acquired from DirectMoney. As at the date of this Prospectus there are funds of approximately $125,000 invested in the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund. DirectMoney expects that more substantial investments for the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund will be received from investors shortly.

DirectMoney has entered into a Loan Sale and Servicing Deed with the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund under which it is entitled to on-sell Personal Loans written by DirectMoney to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund ( Loan Investments ).

DirectMoney will earn an origination fee from the borrower under each loan and a fixed management fee for servicing the loans on behalf of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund based on the total volume of loans under management (see below and Section 11.6 for further information).

The purpose of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is to provide investors with monthly income distributions and a rate of return higher than the rate of return paid by banks on savings and deposit accounts.

The DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund will not borrow. The only funds used by the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund to acquire Personal Loans from DirectMoney will be from funds invested by investors.

Structure of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund

The DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund has an independent responsible entity, One Managed Investment Funds Limited (AFSL 297042) ( Responsible Entity ). One Managed Investment Funds Limited, is a subsidiary of the One Investment Group ( OIG ), which is an independent Australian funds management business. OIG’s licensed entities are currently appointed to over 100 trustee roles. The total value of assets for which OIG licensed entities act as trustee is in excess of $6 billion.

P a g e | 30

A wholly-owned subsidiary of DirectMoney, DirectMoney Investment Management Pty Ltd ( Investment Manager ) has been appointed by the Responsible Entity as the investment manager of DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement, and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund’s investments.

Another wholly-owned subsidiary of DirectMoney, DirectMoney Loans Servicing Pty Ltd ( Servicer ), is responsible for monitoring and servicing Loan Investments, ensuring that borrowers make repayments on time and following up on late payments from borrowers. Finally, another wholly-owned subsidiary of DirectMoney, DirectMoney Credit Management Pty Ltd ( Credit Manager ), is responsible for holding, operating and maintaining the Loan Investment Account (see below).

When the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund acquires a Loan Investment it will pay DirectMoney no more than the principal amount remaining on the loan as at the sale date plus the interest accrued on the loan since the last monthly repayment date.

The DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is then entitled to receive all of the principal repayments and a portion of the monthly interest repayments made by borrowers on loans made by DirectMoney.

The proposed flow of loan sales from DirectMoney to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is as follows:

==> picture [293 x 287] intentionally omitted <==

Diagram showing proposed flow of loan sales from DirectMoney to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund.

P a g e | 31

The proposed flow of loan payments from borrowers to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is as shown below:

==> picture [393 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

The portion of the monthly interest payments that the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is entitled to is referred to as the Assigned Interest Portion . The portion of the monthly interest repayment that the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is not entitled to receive is referred to as the Retained Interest Portion . The Retained Interest Portion is paid to the Credit Manager.

The Credit Manager holds the Retained Interest Portion in a bank account referred to as the Loan Investment Account . If any Loan Investment held by the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund has gone into default and the borrower has not brought their payments up to date in the timeframe allowed in the Loan Sale and Servicing Deed ( Delinquent Loan Investments ), the Investment Manager will procure that those Delinquent Loan Investments are sold to a third party. Alternatively, the Investment Manager may decide it is commercially preferable to sell tranches of Delinquent Loan Investments at a spot price in the market place for the best available price.

The Credit Manager will then pay the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund the difference between the sale price and the principal amount remaining on the Delinquent Loan Investments from the Loan Investment Reserve Account, provided there are sufficient funds available in the account.

If there are insufficient funds available in the Loan Investment Reserve Account, then the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund will only receive the funds which are available in the Loan Investment Reserve Account, together with the sale proceeds of the Delinquent Loan Investment to the third party buyer. If this occurs, this would reduce the value of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, however, neither the Credit Manager nor DirectMoney have any obligation to compensate the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund for any shortfall.

Retained Interest Portion

The Investment Manager anticipates it will take some time to build up the Retained Interest Portion held in the Loan Investment Reserve Account. Therefore, DirectMoney will lend up to $200,000 to the Credit Manager to provide an immediate reserve of funds in the Loan Investment Reserve Account ( Seller Loan ). No interest is charged on the Seller Loan.

P a g e | 32

The Responsible Entity holds a security interest over the Loan Investment Reserve Account which means the funds in the Loan Investment Reserve Account cannot be disposed of or otherwise dealt with by the Credit Manager without the Responsible Entity’s consent. Provided the Responsible Entity consents, the only payments other than those made to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, that are able to be made out of the Loan Investment Reserve Account are for taxes, bank fees, other charges and repayment of the Seller Loan.

DirectMoney, the Credit Manager and the Responsible Entity have agreed that the Seller Loan is subordinate to the interests of the Responsible Entity in the funds held in the Loan Reserve Account. This means that the Seller Loan will not be repaid without the Responsible Entity’s consent.

The amount of the Retained Interest Portion is calculated by the Investment Manager from time to time, based on the expected loan losses on the Loan Investments held by the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund. This is referred to as the Loan Investment Loss Rate .

The Assigned Interest Portion will be the remaining portion of the monthly interest payments made by borrowers after the Retained Interest Portion is calculated and deducted.

The Loan Sale and Servicing Deed gives DirectMoney the authority to vary the amount of the Retained Interest Portion from time to time and this amount will vary in line with actual and expected Loan Investment Loss Rates as calculated by the Investment Manager. If the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund experiences a higher level of defaults on loans which underpin Loan Investments than the Investment Manager expects, then the amount of the Retained Interest Portion is likely to increase. On the other hand, if the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund experiences a lower than expected level of defaults on loans which underpin Loan Investments, then the amount of the Retained Interest Portion is likely to decrease.

Fees and costs payable in relation to the management of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund (including to DirectMoney and its subsidiaries)

The fees payable by the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund are as follows:

  • An investment management fee of 1.925% per annum (including GST) of the gross value of the assets of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, paid monthly in arrears. This fee is paid to the Responsible Entity, who will then pay this fee to the Investment Manager (a whollyowned subsidiary of DirectMoney).

  • A fund administration fee of 1.1% per annum (including GST) of the gross value of the assets of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, paid monthly in arrears. This fee is for fund administration services and is paid to the Responsible Entity. The Responsible Entity pays itself, the fund administrator (a third party fund administrator company), the fund’s auditor, other service providers and the expenses of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund (excluding any expenses which are not generally incurred during the day-to-day operation of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund ( Abnormal Expenses )).

  • Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Manager is entitled to be paid a termination fee if the Investment Manager’s appointment is terminated by the Responsible Entity in either of the following circumstances:

  • where the Responsible Entity decides to terminate the Investment Manager’s appointment in circumstances where it ceases to be the responsible entity of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund; or

  • a special resolution is passed by investors at a properly convened meeting of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund directing the Responsible Entity to terminate the Investment Manager’s appointment.

The fee is the equivalent of 5 years’ worth of the investment management fee referred to above.

P a g e | 33

  • Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Responsible Entity is also entitled to be paid a removal fee if:

  • it is removed as responsible entity of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund within 3 years of the issue of the Product Disclosure Statement for the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, other than for gross negligence or for a breach of a fiduciary duty to investors which causes them substantial loss; or

  • it retires as responsible entity of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund within 3 years of the issue of the Product Disclosure Statement for the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund at the request of the Investment Manager in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement.

The amount of this fee is the amount of the fund administration fee referred to above that the Responsible Entity would have received (which is 0.13% per annum of the gross value of the assets of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund) if it had remained the responsible entity of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund for 3 years from the date of issue of the Product Disclosure Statement.

The other costs payable by the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund are as follows:

  • Operating costs and expenses (excluding Abnormal Expenses) are included in the fund administration fee. Operating costs and expenses of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund (excluding Abnormal Expenses) in excess of the fund administration fee referred to above are referred to as Excess Expenses . The Investment Manager has agreed to pay any Excess Expenses from its own resources. However, should the Investment Manager be unable to meet any Excess Expenses or should the Investment Manager decide, for whatever reason, not to bear them, then any Excess Expenses will be charged to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund itself.

  • Abnormal expenses are not included in the fund administration fee referred to above. These are costs and expenses not generally incurred in the day-to-day operation of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and are not necessarily incurred in any given year. These costs and expenses will be paid from the assets of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund as and when they are incurred.

The Responsible Entity and the Investment Manager may, in their discretion, accept lower fees and expenses than they are entitled to receive, or may defer payment of those fees and expenses for any time. If payment is deferred, then the fee will accrue until paid.

The constitution of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund allows the Responsible Entity to charge a maximum management fee of 2.5% per annum (plus GST less input tax credits or reduced input tax credits as applicable) of the gross value of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund’s assets. The Responsible Entity will not increase the investment management fees without investors first approving that increase by passing an ordinary resolution at an investor meeting.

Stamp duty will not apply to the acquisition of Loan Investments by the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory or Western Australia. Duty may apply in Queensland and in South Australia. If duty is payable in Queensland or South Australia, then this will be an expense of DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund.

Withdrawal rights of investors in DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund

The DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund allows for withdrawals by investors over a 36 month period in 36 separate equal monthly instalments. The reason this withdrawal mechanism is utilised is to match withdrawals from the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund with cash flows generated from the Loan Investments.

The constitution allows the Responsible Entity to suspend withdrawals under certain circumstances. If they are suspended, then withdrawals will only resume at the Responsible Entity’s discretion.

P a g e | 34

Circumstances where the Responsible Entity may suspend withdrawals include where, in the Responsible Entity’s reasonable opinion, it is not in the best interests of Investors for withdrawals to be made, or there has, or the Responsible Entity anticipates there will be, withdrawal requests that involve realising a significant amount of the assets of DirectMoney Pesonal Loan Fund and the Responsible Entity considers that if those withdrawal requests are all met immediately, it would disadvantage investors who continue to be investors in the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund.

The Responsible Entity may also refuse to accept applications to invest in the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund from time to time if the value of new applications exceeds the value of loans that DirectMoney has available to sell as Loan Investments.

Other information

Section 11.6 contains a summary of the relevant agreements underpinning the structure referred to above.

A copy of the Product Disclosure Statement for the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund can be obtained from DirectMoney’s website, at www.directmoney.com.au. Full details of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund are contained in the Product Disclosure Statement. Any investors wishing to invest in the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund will need to carefully consider the Product Disclosure Statement and complete the application form accompanying it.

DirectMoney Marketplace Limited

In addition to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, DirectMoney has also recently established an investment company called ‘DirectMoney Marketplace Limited’.

DirectMoney Marketplace Limited is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of DirectMoney.

The purpose of DirectMoney Marketplace Limited is very similar to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund described above, except that DirectMoney Marketplace Limited is a public company rather than an unlisted registered managed investment scheme.

Sale of Personal Loans to DirectMoney Marketplace Limited

On or around the date of this Prospectus, DirectMoney will enter into a Loan Sale and Management Agreement with DirectMoney Marketplace Limited which is on similar terms to the Loan Sale and Servicing Deed for the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund.

In particular, when DirectMoney Marketplace Limited Fund acquires a Personal Loan it will pay DirectMoney no more than the principal amount remaining on the loan as at the sale date plus the interest accrued on the loan since the last monthly repayment date.

DirectMoney Marketplace Limited is then entitled to receive all of the principal repayments and the monthly interest repayments made by borrowers on loans made by DirectMoney.

A portion of the monthly interest repayments will be retained within DirectMoney Marketplace Limited to cover delinquent loans. If a loan is in default, it will be on sold to a third party, and the sale proceeds and the retained portion of the monthly interest repayment will be utilised to purchase replacement loans from DirectMoney.

If there are insufficient funds from the sale proceeds and the retained amounts from monthly interest repayments this will reduce the value of loans held by DirectMoney Marketplace Limited. DirectMoney will not have any obligation to compensate DirectMoney Marketplace Limited for any such shortfalls.

Management of DirectMoney Marketplace Limited and fees

Under the Loan Sale and Management Agreement, DirectMoney will be responsible for the management of DirectMoney Marketplace Limited.

P a g e | 35

DirectMoney Marketplace Limited will pay an annual fee of 1.50% (plus GST) (payable monthly) of the gross value of the Personal Loans to DirectMoney for managing and servicing the Personal Loans acquired by DirectMoney Marketplace Limited.

DirectMoney Marketplace Limited will have its own Board and engage its own external service providers for its custodial and administrative requirements. However, certain costs and expenses incurred by DirectMoney and not covered by DirectMoney Marketplace Limited will be paid as and when they are incurred, from the cash flow arising from the Personal Loans. This may include any taxes or stamp duty that may be levied on the transfer of loans to and from DirectMoney Marketplace Limited.

DirectMoney agrees to indemnify DirectMoney Marketplace Limited against any liabilities or losses arising as a result of, among other things, a breach of the agreement by DirectMoney. Please see the summary of the Loan Sale and Management Agreement in Section 11.7 for further information.

Investment structure and proposed ASX listing

Investors will invest in DirectMoney Marketplace Limited by way of secured convertible notes.

DirectMoney and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited have agreed that they will use all reasonable endeavours to apply for listing on ASX as soon as possible. The current expected timing for listing is in late 2015. This will allow investment in the company by a broader range of investors.

The only circumstances where the secured convertible notes will be converted by DirectMoney Marketplace Limited is on a future listing of DirectMoney Marketplace Limited on ASX.

Investors otherwise only have rights to receive repayments of principal and interest in respect of unsecured loans allocated to their investment, less the applicable fees of DirectMoney under the Loan Sale and Management Agreement.

In connection with the listing, DirectMoney Marketplace Limited has agreed to use its best endeavours to negotiate a new management agreement from listing pursuant to which DirectMoney will provide the services required to support and manage a listed company with a debt portfolio of the kind held by DirectMoney Marketplace Limited and DirectMoney will be paid an amount which reflects current market prices for the management services to be provided.

Upon listing, it is proposed that the convertible notes be converted to ordinary shares and at that point DirectMoney Marketplace Limited will cease to be a subsidiary of DirectMoney (but would still, subject to the arrangements agreed at listing, be managed by DirectMoney under a new management agreement).

If DirectMoney Marketplace Limited does not enter into a new management agreement at the time of listing on ASX, DirectMoney Marketplace Limited must pay DirectMoney a termination fee. The termination fee will be an amount equal to the sum of all investment management fees that would have been payable if the agreement had continued for a period of 3 years from the termination date.

Term and termination

The term of the Loan Sale and Management Agreement is 5 years from the last purchase date of Personal Loans from DirectMoney, provided that the agreement may terminate earlier if the convertible notes are converted or DirectMoney Marketplace Limited is wound up.

The purpose of this expiry date is such that if listing on ASX is not achieved by 31 December 2015, the agreement can continue in force until the relevant principal and interest on the Personal Loans the subject of the agreement (which have a term of 3 or 5 years) are repaid in satisfaction of the subscription amount for the convertible notes.

P a g e | 36

Third party institutions

In addition to making Personal Loans available for sale to the investment vehicles it manages (DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited), DirectMoney may also onsell Personal Loans to appropriate third party institutions from time to time in its discretion, on such terms as it sees fit.

DirectMoney currently intends to limit sales to such parties to 20% of its origination volume of Personal Loans.

The remaining 80% is intended to be sold to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund or DirectMoney Marketplace Limited.

However, DirectMoney may sell to third party institutions if the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund or DirectMoney Marketplace Limited do not have the funding capacity to acquire Personal Loans from DirectMoney and DirectMoney wishes to sell the Personal Loans to free up funding capital in the Loan Warehouse or for other operational reasons.

(i) Business Model

DirectMoney currently derives revenue from its loan book of approximately $6 million in Personal Loans which are held in the Loan Warehouse. For such time as loans are held in the Loan Warehouse and not sold to Loan Investors, the returns and credit risk on the loans are to the account of DirectMoney only.

As referred to above, DirectMoney’s business model is to primarily act as an intermediary company between borrowers and lenders in relation to the Personal Loans.

Accordingly, to this end, DirectMoney has recently launched the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited (see Section 5.2(h) above). As the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund receives funding from investors, loans held in the Loan Warehouse will be sold to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited. At that point, the returns and credit risk of the loans will be passed through to the investors of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited.

As referred to above, DirectMoney will earn an origination fee from the borrower under each loan and a fixed management fee for servicing the loans on behalf of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund based on the total volume of loans under management.

In the longer term, DirectMoney may seek to expand its business to also cover home mortgages, small business loans and other finance products to borrowers.

DirectMoney will always focus on operating in Marketplace Lending and so will primarily act as an intermediary in relation to these products. However, in the future it may also at times consider funding to DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund or DirectMoney Marketplace Limited in order to earn a higher rate of return.

(j) Defaults in Personal Loans

As a lending business, DirectMoney faces the risk of borrower default on its loan book (see Section 6.1(b)). From October 2014 to December 2014, DirectMoney wrote off $392,971.47 worth of bad debts, which were substantially the result of an attack by a fraud ring using sophisticated forgeries of bank statements and identity documents.

DirectMoney subsequently implemented comprehensive anti-fraud measures in November 2014 and has not experienced any losses due to fraud since that time. In January 2015, DirectMoney also tightened its credit policy and restructured its credit team.

As a result of these measures, DirectMoney’s default rate (on an annualised basis) has been tracking at between 4.1% and 6.2% in the period from January 2015 to the date of this Prospectus.

P a g e | 37

The annualisation of the default rate assumes a straight line continuation of the current loss rate range (4.1% and 6.2%), and is in part influenced by a drop in lending volume during April and May as DirectMoney seeks to raise loan funding under the Offer.

With the resumption of normal lending volumes following the Re-admission Date, and the continuing review of credit policy, DirectMoney believes that this loss rate could shift towards the lower end of the range.

5.3 Acquisition

On 24 March 2015, the Company announced that it had entered into a Share Sale Agreement with the Vendors to acquire 100% of the issued share capital in DirectMoney in consideration for the issue of Shares in the Company.

Following the Acquisition, the Company will change its name to “DirectMoney Limited” and change its operations from a design and manufacture business in the automotive industry and operate instead as a licensed lender in the Marketplace Lending industry.

The Company will also seek to be reinstated to the official list of the ASX and seek quotation of the Shares on the ASX by re-complying with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.

In exchange for the Company acquiring 100% of the issued shares in DirectMoney, the Company will issue Shares to the Vendors by way of consideration, in proportion to their shareholding in DirectMoney.

For the purpose of calculating the consideration:

  • existing Shares will be valued at $0.20 per Share; and

  • the number of Shares to be issued to Vendors will be calculated on a valuation of DirectMoney of $39,160,000 on a fully diluted basis.

A summary of the key terms of the Share Sale Agreement, which governs the Acquisition, including the conditions which must be satisfied or waived before the Acquisition (and the Offer) can be completed is set out in Section 11.1.

The effect of the Acquisition is that the nature and scale of the activities of the Company will change as the Company proposes to focus on development of the Marketplace Lending business of DirectMoney as outlined in this Prospectus upon completion of the Acquisition.

In seeking to be reinstated to the official list of the ASX and in seeking quotation of the Shares on the ASX following the Acquisition, the Company will be required to re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules, which includes, among other things, seeking Shareholder approval for the change to the nature and scale of the Company’s activities, issuing a prospectus and obtaining a sufficient number of Shareholders with the requisite number of Shares in accordance with those rules.

A Meeting has therefore been convened by the Company to seek Shareholder approval for (among other things), the change to the nature and scale of the Company’s activities following the Acquisition, the issue of Shares to the Vendors in consideration for the Company acquiring all of the issued capital in DirectMoney, the change of the Company’s name to “DirectMoney Limited” and the issue of Shares under the Offer.

Following the completion of the Acquisition and Offer and subject to the Company re-complying with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules to the satisfaction of ASX, the Company will be re-admitted to Official Quotation on ASX as “DirectMoney Limited” and it will commence operations in the Marketplace Lending industry.

The effect of the Acquisition and the Offer on the Company’s capital structure is set out in Sections 3.6 and 12.4.

P a g e | 38

5.4 Future Capital Requirements

On completion of the Offer, the Board believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated business objectives. However, generally speaking, there can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without further financing or, if further financing is necessary, that it can be obtained on favourable terms or at all, if materially adverse trading conditions or other unexpected factors emerge.

5.5 Dividend Policy

The Company does not expect to pay any dividends until such time as the Directors are of the opinion that the financial position of the Company warrants it. The Directors do not and cannot give any assurances as to the extent, timing, level of franking or payment of any dividends in future periods.

5.6 Key Investment Highlights

(a) Investment in rapidly growing industry

As identified in Section 5.2(b) above, Marketplace Lending is a new type of financial service that introduces borrowers and investors via an online platform. By operating more efficiently than the banks it proposes to deliver lower rates for borrowers and higher returns for investors. Given the higher margins between current bank deposit rates of approximately 2% to 3% and bank personal loan rates of around 14% per annum in Australia, DirectMoney believes that a significant opportunity exists to use disruptive technology to undercut such margins. DirectMoney believes that similar market conditions in the United States are driving significant growth in Marketplace Lending.

(b) Experience of Executive Chairman and key management personnel in industry

Sections 7.1 and 7.2 set out the experience of the Proposed Directors and key DirectMoney management personnel (including that of DirectMoney’s Executive Chairman, Stephen Porges) both in the financial services industry generally and in the Marketplace Lending industry in particular. The DirectMoney team has over 200 years of funds management, banking, credit, network marketing and IT experience. This combined industry experience with be key to DirectMoney achieving its strategic objectives.

(c) Opportunity to leverage off the growth and key differentiation strategy of DirectMoney

DirectMoney has established an innovative structure to assist with its Marketplace Lending platform called a Loan Warehouse. DirectMoney maintains funding in the Loan Warehouse to enable it to write Personal Loans to suitably qualified borrowers as soon as their credit is approved. In contrast, under some other models used by competitors, investors bid on fractions of a loan amount, with loans only being provided once bidding on 100% of the loan amount is reached. This leads to delays in loan funding, which DirectMoney avoids through the use of the Loan Warehouse. DirectMoney believes it should experience faster growth earlier in its operations by using whole loan pooling and funding.

(d)

Relationship with unique DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund

DirectMoney has recently launched an in-house fund called the ‘DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund’. The purpose of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund is to provide investors with monthly income distributions and a rate of return higher than the rate of return paid by banks on savings and deposit accounts. DirectMoney has entered into a Loan Sale and Servicing Deed with the Responsible Entity of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund under which it is entitled to on-sell personal loans written by DirectMoney to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund. DirectMoney earns an origination fee from the borrowers and a fixed management fee for servicing the loans on behalf of the Loan Investors on the volume of loans under management.

P a g e | 39

(e) The DirectMoney Software and Marketing Plans

The DirectMoney marketing team has extensive experience in digital marketing gained from leading eCommerce companies, banks and financial services companies. The marketing team will target borrowers aged over 21 years old with good employment and a sound credit history. It also intends to target multiple partnering opportunities with established branded vendors of products suitable for funding with personal loans or introducing borrowers such as mortgage brokers, credit unions and, building societies. Partnering with established brands should lower customer acquisition costs, increase credit quality and enhance DirectMoney’s brand image and exposure.

(f)

Banking Industry Disruption

Australian banks are among the world’s most profitable with personal loans representing 3% of assets and 16% of profits. DirectMoney believes an opportunity exists using disruptive technology to undercut the high margins between deposit rates of 2-3% per annum and personal loan rates of around 14% per annum. Similar market conditions in the US and declining trust in banks are driving significant growth in Marketplace Lending.

(g) High margin, high growth opportunity

The personal loan market in Australia enjoys high rates of interest compared with other countries and other loan products. The average rate charged by the five largest Australian banks on prime personal loans is around 14.0%. DirectMoney aims to under-cut this rate while at the same time paying a net return that will compare favourably with bank deposits.

(h)

Barriers to Entry

Being a relatively new industry, Marketplace Lending is subject to heavy regulation and onerous licensing requirements which creates high barriers for new entrants. DirectMoney has exerted much time, money and expertise in developing its platform and obtaining all of the required regulatory licences to operate as a marketplace lender.

(i)

Strong Early Traction

As identified in Section 5.2(a) above, since commencing lending in October 2014, DirectMoney has rapidly grown its presence and has now lent to over 350 borrowers, with a total loan book value of approximately $6 million.

P a g e | 40

6 RISK FACTORS AND INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS

An investment in the Company exposes Applicants to risk factors. The business of the Company and the industry in which it will operate are subject to numerous risk factors both of a general nature and risks which are specific to the industry and/or the Company’s business activities.

The potential effect of these risk factors either individually, or in combination, may have an adverse effect on the future financial and operating performance of the Company, its financial position, its prospects and the value of the Shares. Accordingly, the Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

This Section describes what the Company considers to be the key risks associated with an investment in the Company, particularly in light of the Acquisition and change to the nature and scale of its activities. You should carefully consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances and seek professional advice from your stockbroker, accountant, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.

This Section should not be considered to be an exhaustive list of every possible risk associated with an investment in the Company. The types of risks the Company is exposed to can change over time and vary with changes in economic, technological, environmental and regulatory conditions generally within the industry in which the Company operates.

6.1 Company Specific Risks

The following are the key risks that specifically relate to an investment in the Company:

(a) Failure of DirectMoney’s business model

Although DirectMoney believes its proposed operations and business model (see Section 5) will be successful, especially considering DirectMoney’s early successful operations to date, the experience of its key personnel in the Marketplace Lending industry and the key areas of differentiation between DirectMoney’s business model and that of its competitors, any number of factors could adversely affect DirectMoney’s proposed operations and business model and no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in the Marketplace Lending industry.

(b)

Credit Risk

As a lending business, DirectMoney is at risk of some or all of its borrowers failing or becoming unable to repay their loans. While loans are targeted at prime retail borrowers (not ‘payday’ lending customers), the loans are unsecured and so are subject to the capacity of the individual borrower to repay the loan.

As identified in Sections 5.2(d), 5.2(g) and 5.2(h), DirectMoney manages its credit risk in a number of ways, including through borrower screening and credit checking processes, its Loan Warehouse and transfer of loans to Loan Investors (including the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited who assume exposure to the loan after expiry of the warehouse period). See also Section 5.2(i) and 5.2(j) for further information regarding DirectMoney’s business structure and defaults in its Personal Loans.

(c)

Inability to recover default loans

If a Personal Loan is in default, the cost of recovery of the debt under that loan is generally greater than the amount recovered and, as such, will at times require Personal Loans to be written off as bad debts. This risk is potentially higher in the personal loan industry, particularly given the size of the loans and that they are unsecured. High levels of bad debt could limit DirectMoney’s profitability and adversely affect its performance in the future. As referred to above, DirectMoney seeks to manage its credit risk in a number of ways, including through thorough borrower screening and credit checking processes.

P a g e | 41

(d) Fraudulent borrowers

There is a general ongoing risk that borrowers may deliberately fabricate evidence to support their loan applications and that they have no intention of paying off their loan. As a cash business, fraud could also be committed by employees internally. Although DirectMoney has procedures in place to detect fraudulent applications and activities, the risk of fraud cannot be discounted. As noted in Section 5.2(j), DirectMoney has been the subject of a borrower fraud attack before and has since implemented procedures to significantly tighten its credit policy and restructure its credit team.

(e) Personal Loans are unsecured

DirectMoney’s Personal Loans are generally issued on an unsecured basis. DirectMoney’s financial position could adversely change if a significant percentage of its loan book is not repaid and recovery procedures prove inadequate to recoup funds.

(f)

Ability to attract borrowers and funding

DirectMoney’s on-going viability is strongly linked to its ability to attract suitable borrowers and increase the volume of loans managed by DirectMoney. DirectMoney seeks to manage this issue (and will continue to do so) through appropriate marketing to potential borrowers through various channels.

(g)

Ability to source third party funding

DirectMoney’s on-going viability is strongly linked to its ability to source sufficient third party funding to enable it to have funds to lend to potential borrowers. DirectMoney seeks to manage this risk by sourcing third party lending from various sources, including from funds it manages such as DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund. Arrangements with third party lenders such as the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, however may be subject to certain termination rights. Importantly, there is no assurance that DirectMoney will be able to source sufficient funding from third party funding sources over time.

(h)

Concentration risk

DirectMoney only invests in unsecured personal loans with a minimum amount of $5,000 and a maximum amount of $35,000. This is a specific and discrete type of asset and therefore DirectMoney may be exposed to any market conditions which impact that specific type of asset.

(i) Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of DirectMoney depends substantially on senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on DirectMoney if one or more of these employees cease their employment or if one or more of the Proposed Directors leaves the Board.

(j) Operational constraints

Certain aspects of DirectMoney’s lending systems are manual and can be labour-intensive, such as that borrower employment verification requires manual phone calls by customer service representatives and responsible lending regulations also require telephone time with borrowers. These requirements could potentially slow down the efficiency of the business, particularly as the volume of loans increases. In the meantime, these issues are well understood and incorporated into budgeting and staffing plans. DirectMoney has invested approximately $2.5 million over the last few years to establish and refine its intellectual property, systems and licences.

P a g e | 42

(k) Potential undisclosed liabilities

There may be liabilities that the Company fails or is unable to discover in due diligence, both in relation to itself and in relation to DirectMoney, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition. The discovery of any material liabilities could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and future prospects.

(l) Conditions of the Offer and issue of Vendor Consideration Shares

The Offer and issue of Vendor Consideration Shares are subject to the conditions referred to in Section 4.5, which must be satisfied prior to issue of Shares pursuant to the Offer and completion of the Agreement by issue of the Vendor Consideration Shares. If the applicable conditions are not satisfied, the Offer and completion of the Agreement and Acquisition may not proceed.

(m) Reinstatement to ASX’s official list

The Company’s Shares are currently suspended from trading on ASX. In the event that all Acquisition Resolutions are approved at the Meeting, it is anticipated that the Company’s Shares will remain suspended until completion of the Agreement, Capital Raising and recompliance by the Company with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and compliance with any further conditions ASX imposes on such reinstatement. There is a risk that the Company will not be able to satisfy one or more of those requirements and that its Shares may consequently remain suspended from quotation.

(n) Contractual risk

DirectMoney’s operations are underpinned by various material agreements (as summarised in Section 11) and its success is to a large extent reliant on the various counterparties fulfilling their respective obligations under those agreements. To the extent that this does not occur, DirectMoney may be adversely affected.

(o) Information technology risk

There are risks associated with reliance on information technology, including technology failure interrupting the availability of services, data or information loss, or data or information theft. The DirectMoney website, through which borrowers apply for loans, may be the subject of malicious or criminal attacks, such as hacking or denial of service attacks. Such activity could impact on DirectMoney’s ability to source loans.

(p) Documentation risk

DirectMoney is a party to a number of legal documents, including loan documents with borrowers and management and loan sale and security documents with Loan Investors. If there is any deficiency in such documents, it could adversely affect DirectMoney and its rights and liabilities under such arrangements.

6.2 Industry Specific Risks

The following are the key risks that relate specifically to the Marketplace Lending industry in Australia in which the Company will operate following the completion of the Acquisition:

P a g e | 43

(a) Competition

DirectMoney competes directly with banks for personal loan customers. Banks (particularly Australia’s so called “big 4 banks”) are well established mainstays in this lending segment and have substantially more capital at their disposal to attract borrowers. Additionally, DirectMoney and other entrants in the Marketplace Lending industry generally remain viable by undercutting the relatively high interest rates offered by these banks. DirectMoney’s profitability could be affected if the banks respond to this competitive pressure by reducing their personal loan interest rates.

(b) Regulation

The Company may be exposed to the risk of changes to applicable laws or underlying policy or their interpretation that have an impact on the Company, its investments or returns to Shareholders or the risk of non-compliance with reporting or other legal obligations. In particular, the Marketplace Lending industry is relatively new in Australia and regulators could review the regulatory regime which applies to it. There is therefore a risk that new regulations or regulators could be introduced to this industry, and they may impose unforeseen compliance burdens resulting in delays and extra cost for the Company, which could adversely affect its operations and prospects.

(c) Licensing risk

If the Australian Financial Services Licence or Australian Credit Licence of DirectMoney is suspended or revoked, then this could adversely impact the operations of the Company. It may also affect its ability to manage the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and DirectMoney Marketplace Limited from which it intends to derive revenue.

(d) Compliance with regulated loans

DirectMoney is required to comply with certain responsible lending obligations, and other obligations, including under the NCCP. DirectMoney may be affected if it fails to comply with its obligations under these regulations.

(e) Default and fraud

If the Australian economy enters into a recession there is a risk that the Company’s loan book could suffer higher levels of defaults than anticipated when loans were written.

The Company could also be subject to identity fraud and hacking attacks on its information technology assets.

6.3 General Investment Risks

The value of securities listed on securities exchanges can change considerably over time and the value of your investment can increase and decrease with the value of the security. The fluctuation in value is known as volatility and the level of volatility depends on the type of investment. Generally, in order of risk of asset classes, shares are the riskiest, then fixed interest, then cash. As with most investments, performance is not guaranteed. These risks may result in loss of income and principal invested.

You can do some things to reduce the impact of risk. Firstly, get professional advice suited to your investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs. Nothing in this Prospectus can replace or offer that. Secondly, invest for at least the time frame recommended by your professional adviser. Applicants are strongly advised to regard an investment in the Company as a long-term proposition.

The Company does not guarantee the return of capital, any rate of return in terms of income or capital or investment performance of the Company.

P a g e | 44

It is not possible to identify every risk associated with investing in the Company, however the following provides a list of significant risks associated with the Company. There may be other risks associated with the Company.

(a) Market risk

Investment returns are influenced by market factors. These factors include the change in the economic (e.g. changes in interest rates), legislative and political environment, as well as changes in investor sentiment. In addition, exogenous shocks, natural disasters and acts of terrorism can (and sometimes do) add to equity market volatility as well as impact directly on individual entities. As a result, no guarantee can be given in respect of the future earnings of the Company or the earnings and capital appreciation of the Company’s investments.

(b)

Interest rate risk

Changes in the interest rates within Australia may impact directly or indirectly on DirectMoney. For the period any Loans are held in the Loan Warehouse, falling interest rates may reduce the return DirectMoney earns on new Personal Loans which are subject to lower interest rates.

Increased competition in the personal unsecured loan market generally may also see the rate of interest charged to borrowers reduce, and this may reduce the income of DirectMoney.

(c)

Industry risk

There are a number of industry risk factors that may affect the future operation or performance of the Company. These factors are outside the control of the Company. Such factors include increased competition, regulatory and compliance costs and variations in legislation and government policies generally.

(d)

Liquidity risk

The Company is a listed entity, therefore the ability to sell Shares is a function of the turnover of the Company’s Shares at the time of sale. Turnover itself is a function of the size of the Company and also the cumulative investment intentions of all current and possible investors in the Company at any one point in time.

(e)

Operational costs

Operational costs for the Company as a proportion of total assets may be affected by the level of total assets of the Company and by the level of acceptance of the Offer. Operational costs may represent a greater proportion of total assets and could reduce the operating results of the Company and accordingly the ability to make dividend payments if the Company only achieves the minimum subscription under the Offer than if it secures a greater level of acceptance.

(f)

Taxation risk

Tax laws (including Australian tax laws) are in a continual state of change and reform that may affect the Company and Shareholders.

Tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual Shareholder. The Company is not responsible either for taxation or penalties incurred by Shareholders. Shareholders should consult their own taxation advisers to ascertain the tax implications of their investment.

P a g e | 45

(g) Force majeure risk

Force majeure is a term generally used to refer to an event beyond the control of a party claiming that the event has occurred, including acts of God, acts of terrorism, fire, flood, earthquakes, war and strikes. The Company does not have insurance for all force majeure risks, some of which are, in any event, uninsurable. To the extent that any such risks occur, there may be an adverse effect on the operations and profitability of the Company’s business.

(h) Further funding requirements

The Directors believe that, on completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient working capital to carry out its stated business objectives. However, generally speaking, there can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without further financing or, if further financing is necessary, that it can be obtained on favourable terms or at all if materially adverse trading conditions or other unexpected factors emerge. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, this may result in dilution of some or all of the Shareholders.

6.4 Investor Considerations

Before deciding to subscribe for Shares, Applicants should consider whether Shares are a suitable investment.

There may be tax implications arising from the Application for Shares, the receipt of dividends (both franked and unfranked) from the Company, and on the disposal of Shares. Applicants should carefully consider these tax implications and obtain advice from an accountant or other professional tax adviser in relation to the application of tax legislation.

If you are in doubt as to whether you should subscribe for Shares you should seek advice on the matters contained in this Prospectus from a stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser immediately.

7.3 Corporate Governance

This section explains how the Board will manage the Company’s business. The Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company. The Board monitors the operational and financial position and performance of the Company and oversees its business strategy including approving the strategic goals of the Company. The Board is committed to maximising performance, generating appropriate levels of Shareholder value and financial return, and sustaining the growth and success of the Company. In conducting business with these objectives, the Board is concerned to ensure that the Company is properly managed to protect and enhance Shareholder interests, and that the Company, its Directors, officers and employees operate in an appropriate environment of corporate governance.

P a g e | 49

Accordingly, the Board intends to create a framework for managing the Company including adopting relevant internal controls, risk management processes and corporate governance policies and practices which it believes are appropriate for the Company’s business and which are designed to promote the responsible management and conduct of the Company.

The main policies and practices to be adopted by the Company are summarised below. In addition, many governance elements are contained in the Constitution. Details of the Company’s key policies and the charters for the Board and each of its committees are available at www.directmoney.com.au.

The Company is seeking to list its Shares on the ASX. The ASX Corporate Governance Council has developed and released its Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations for Australian listed entities ( ASX Recommendations ) in order to promote investor confidence and to assist companies in meeting stakeholder expectations. The ASX Recommendations are not prescriptive, but guidelines. However, under the Listing Rules, the Company will be required to provide a statement in its annual report disclosing the extent to which it has followed the recommendations in the reporting period. Where the Company does not follow a recommendation, it must identify the recommendation that has not been followed and give reasons for not following it.

(a) Board Charter

The Board will adopt a written charter to provide a framework for the effective operation of the Board. This charter provides a framework for the effective operation of the Board, addressing matters and responsibilities of the Board such as enhancing Shareholder value, oversight of the Company (including its control and accountability systems), contributing to and approving corporate strategy and performance objectives, monitoring the performance of the CEO and other senior executives, and approving and monitoring major capital expenditure, capital management issues and acquisitions and divestitures.

(b) Board Committees

The Board may from time to time establish appropriate committees to assist in the discharge of its responsibilities. Upon the re-admission of the Company to the official list of ASX (following completion of the Acquisition, Capital Raising and re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules), the Company’s proposed board will comprise 3 directors, only one of whom will be independent. A process to appoint an additional independent non-executive director is expected to commence following completion of the Acquisition and Capital Raising. See Section 7.1 for further details.

At this early stage of the Company’s operations in a new industry, the Board believes this will be an appropriate structure as it will be important to draw heavily on the relevant industry experience of the Proposed Directors as the Company seeks to establish itself and consolidate its operations, bearing in mind that DirectMoney has (as at the date of the Prospectus) only been operating in the Marketplace Lending industry for around 7 months. Accordingly, given the composition of the proposed board and its mix of executive and non-executive directors, the Board does not initially propose to establish any standing committees (such as audit, nomination or remuneration committees) and the functions of such committees will be performed by the proposed board, acting in the best interests of the Company.

As the composition and mix of the proposed board grows and diversifies, standing committees (including those referred to above) may be established as appropriate. Membership of board committees will be based on the needs of the Company, relevant legislative and other regulatory requirements (including the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations) and the skills and experience of individual Directors.

(c) Risk Management Policy

The identification and proper management of the Company’s risks are important priorities of the Board. The Company will adopt a risk management policy appropriate for its business, which commits the Company to designing and implementing systems and methods appropriate to minimise and control its risk.

P a g e | 50

(d) Continuous Disclosure Policy

The Company is committed to observing its disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules and Corporations Act. The Company will adopt a policy which establishes procedures which are aimed at ensuring that Directors and management are aware of and fulfil their obligations in relation to the timely disclosure of material price-sensitive information.

(e) Share Trading Policy

The Company will adopt a written policy to take effect from re-listing on ASX for dealing in Shares, which is intended to explain the prohibited type of conduct in relation to dealings in Shares under the Corporations Act and to establish a best practice procedure in relation to Directors’, management’s and employees’ dealings in Shares.

Subject to the overriding restriction that persons may not deal in Shares while they are in possession of material price sensitive information, Directors and management will only be permitted to deal in Shares during certain ‘window periods’, such as following the annual general meeting, the release of the Company’s full and half year financial results, or the release of a disclosure document offering Shares.

Outside these periods, Directors and management must receive clearance for any proposed dealing. In all instances, buying or selling Shares is not permitted at any time by any person who possesses price-sensitive information.

In addition, the policy prohibits management and employees who are participants in any equity-based remuneration scheme implemented by the Company from entering into hedging arrangements with respect to securities in the Company (being transactions in financial products that operate to limit the economic risk associated with holding securities in the Company) and from including his or her securities in the Company in a margin loan portfolio or otherwise dealing in securities in the Company pursuant to a margin lending arrangement, without first obtaining the Company’s consent.

(f) Code of Conduct

The Board recognises the need to observe the highest standards of corporate practice and business conduct, and intends to adopt a formal code of conduct for employees and officers. The key aspects of this code are to act with honesty, integrity and fairness and in the best interests of the Company, act in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures, and use the Company’s resources and property properly.

(g) Diversity Policy

The Board will adopt 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.

(h) Shareholder Communication

The Company is committed to keeping Shareholders informed of all major developments affecting the Company which are relevant to Shareholders in accordance with all applicable laws. Information will be communicated to Shareholders through the lodgement of all relevant financial and other information with ASX.

8 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

8.1 Introduction

This Section contains a summary of the historical financial information and pro forma historical financial information of Basper Limited ( Basper ) and DirectMoney Pty Ltd ( DirectMoney ) (collectively the “ Financial Information ”), which has been prepared by the Directors of Basper and DirectMoney.

  • historical consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for H1 FY2015 of DirectMoney ( Historical Statement of Cash Flows ).

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information comprises the:

  • pro forma historical consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the combined Basper and DirectMoney group (the “ Combined Group ”) as at 31 December 2014.

The Financial Information has been reviewed by BDO East Coast Partnership ( BDO ECP ). BDO ECP’s Investigating Accountant’s Report on the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information is contained in Section 9. Investors should note the scope and limitations of that report.

Historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Historical Statements of Cash Flows for Basper have not been disclosed as they relate to prior business activities which ceased with the sale of the majority of Basper’s business to a third party in June 2013, and the sale of property and certain residual assets in early 2014. As such, Basper’s historical results are not relevant to the future activities of Basper.

Basper’s shares are listed on the ASX and Basper is obliged to comply with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX and Corporations Act.

The information in this Section 8 should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set out in Section 6 and other information contained in this Prospectus.

All amounts disclosed in the tables are presented in Australian dollars, and unless otherwise noted, are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

8.2 Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Information

8.2.1. Overview

The Directors of Basper and DirectMoney are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information.

The Financial Information included in this Section 8 has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards ( AAS ) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and the Corporations Act, and the accounting policies of Basper. The Financial Information and accompanying commentary presented in this Section has also been disclosed with consideration to regulatory guidance issued by ASIC.

The Financial Information is presented in abbreviated form and does not contain all the disclosures, statements or comparative information required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.

In preparing the Financial Information, the accounting policies of Basper and DirectMoney have been applied consistently throughout the periods presented. The significant accounting policies of Basper and DirectMoney relevant to the Financial Information are set out within this Section 8.

The Directors have considered ASIC Regulatory Guide 170, and having regard to the requirements of this Regulatory Guide, note that DirectMoney commenced lending in October 2014 and whilst in the current growth phase any prospective financial information would contain a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities such that the Directors have concluded the Combined Group cannot include prospective financial information in this Prospectus.

8.2.2. Preparation of Historical Financial Information

The Historical Financial Information of DirectMoney has been extracted from the statutory financial statements of DirectMoney Pty Ltd for the six month period ended 31 December 2014. The statutory financial statements of DirectMoney Pty Ltd have been reviewed by BDO East Coast Partnership, who have issued an unqualified review opinion in respect of these financial statements.

8.2.3. Preparation of Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been prepared for the purposes of inclusion in this Prospectus, and has been extracted from the individual statutory financial statements of DirectMoney Pty Ltd and Basper Limited for the six month period ended 31 December 2014, with adjustments applied to reflect the impact of the Acquisition and the capital structure that will be in place following Completion of the Offer. The statutory financial statements of Basper Limited for the six month period ended 31 December 2014 have been reviewed by RSM Bird Cameron Partners, who have issued an unqualified review opinion with an emphasis of matter paragraph regarding the fact there is a material uncertainty regarding the ability for the company to continue as a going concern in the event the Acquisition and Offer do not proceed. Refer to Section 8.6 for a reconciliation between the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information and the statutory equivalent financial information.

P a g e | 53

The Directors of Basper and DirectMoney consider the Acquisition results in a reverse acquisition of Basper by DirectMoney. A reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the acquiree for accounting purposes.

In order for the transaction to be accounted for under AASB 3 Business Combinations (“ AASB 3 ”), the legal acquirer must meet the definition of a business. A business under AASB 3 is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members or participants. The Directors of Basper and DirectMoney have concluded that Basper does not meet the definition of a business as prescribed in AASB 3 and as such, it has been deemed that the Acquisition cannot be accounted for in accordance with the guidance set out in AASB 3.

Therefore, consistent with the accepted practice for transactions similar in nature to the Acquisition, the Directors of Basper and DirectMoney intend to account for the Acquisition in the consolidated financial statements of the legal acquirer (Basper) as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal acquiree (DirectMoney), together with a share based payment measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments, which represents a deemed issue of shares by the legal acquiree (DirectMoney), equivalent to the current shareholders’ interest in Basper following the Acquisition. The excess of the assessed value of the share based payment over the net assets of Basper is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as a listing fee.

In relation to the potential carry forward tax losses of the Combined Group, we note as follows:

  • Tax losses of Basper Limited may be available to the Combined Group following Completion of the Acquisition and Offer. The utilisation of the tax losses is subject to Basper Limited satisfying the relevant loss utilisation tests (the continuity of ownership test and the same business test) following the Acquisition and Offer (which will be subject to a separate exercise following the Acquisition and Offer); and

  • Tax losses of DirectMoney Pty Ltd may be available to the Combined Group following Completion of the Acquisition and Offer. The utilisation of the tax losses is subject to the satisfaction of the tests noted above (which will also be subject to a separate exercise following the Acquisition and Offer). The tax losses of DirectMoney Pty Ltd will be subject to a statutory fraction that will delay the utilisation of these tax losses by the Combined Group.

  • 8.2.4. Explanation of certain non-IFRS and other financial measures

DirectMoney uses certain measures to manage and report on its business that are not recognised under Australian Accounting Standards. These measures are referred to as ‘nonIFRS financial measures’. Non-IFRS financial measures are intended to supplement the measures calculated in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and not as a substitute for those measures. As non-IFRS financial measures are not defined by the recognised body of accounting standards, they do not have a prescribed meaning and the way that DirectMoney calculates them may be different to the way that other companies calculate similarly titled measures. Readers should therefore not place undue reliance on non-IFRS financial information.

In the disclosures in this Prospectus, DirectMoney uses the following non-IFRS measures of performance to assist prospective investors with understanding the trends in financial performance and profitability.

  • EBITDA is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation expenses; and

  • EBIT is earnings before interest and tax expenses.

8.5 Management Discussion and Analysis on Historical Financial Information

The management discussion and analysis ( MD&A ) below relates to the Historical Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and historical Statement of Cash Flows and should be read in conjunction with the description of the basis upon which the information has been prepared.

The MD&A provides a brief discussion of the main factors which affected DirectMoney’s operating and financial performance during H1 FY2015. The factors described below are a summary only and do not represent everything that affected DirectMoney’s historical financial performance. The information in this Section should also be read in conjunction with the risk factors set out in Section 6 and other information contained in this Prospectus.

8.5.1. H1 FY2015

DirectMoney’s financial results for the six month period to 31 December 2014 (refer Tables 2 and 3) reflect those of a business in the early stages of its lifecycle. DirectMoney commenced lending operations in October 2014 and in this period the Directors of DirectMoney were successful in lending approximately $6.0 million to customers.

Revenue

DirectMoney’s revenue consists of interest payments and establishment fees earned on loans made to personal loan customers, amortised over the life of each loan. Revenue is linked directly to the size of the DirectMoney Loan Warehouse, which has been growing since DirectMoney began lending in October 2014.

Expenses

DirectMoney’s expenses comprise loan origination, processing and approval costs in addition to staff costs, information technology, rent, insurance, advisory expenses (legal, tax, compliance), bad debts and other items.

EBITDA

DirectMoney’s negative EBITDA is a function of the fact DirectMoney is in the early stages of its lifecycle and has focussed on building its Loan Warehouse and growing its customer base.

Operating cash flows

DirectMoney’s negative operating cash flow reflects its lending activities and the operating expenses in the period. The net cash flow of DirectMoney for the period is positive reflecting financing activities generating more cash than was spent in operations.

Capital expenditure

DirectMoney’s online business model generally does not require large amounts of spending on physical assets or PPE.

8.6 Pro Forma historical Statement of Financial Position

  • 8.6.1. Overview

Set out in the table below are the adjustments that have been made to the reviewed statement of financial position of Basper as at 31 December 2014 and the reviewed statement of financial position of DirectMoney as at 31 December 2014 in order to present the Pro Forma historical consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Combined Group as at 31 December 2014.

The adjustments include the impact of the change in capital structure that will be in place immediately following the Acquisition and Completion of the Offer, as if the Acquisition and the Offer had occurred as at 31 December 2014. These adjustments include assumptions relating to matters that are known as at the date of the Prospectus.

Notes:

As noted in Section 12.8 (d), the LAF Parties have agreed with DirectMoney that they will waive their entitlement to exercise their respective share options in DirectMoney in return for the LAF Parties being issued with approximately 3.8 million shares in the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following the Completion Date. The issue of these shares has no financial impact on the Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2014.

P a g e | 57

8.6.2. Subsequent Events

In the period since 31 December 2014 DirectMoney has entered into the following transactions:

  • issue of an additional $2.1 million of fully paid ordinary share capital; and

  • issue of an additional $0.5 million of convertible notes.

The effects of these transactions are collectively disclosed as Subsequent Events within the Pro Forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2014.

8.6.3. Pro Forma Adjustments

Note i – Reverse acquisition accounting

The proposed acquisition of DirectMoney by Basper is deemed to be a reverse acquisition as the substance of the transaction is such that the existing shareholders of DirectMoney will obtain control of Basper. However, Basper is not considered to meet the definition of a business under AASB 3 and as such, it has been concluded that the Acquisition cannot be accounted for in accordance with the guidance set out in AASB 3. Therefore, consistent with the accepted practice for transactions similar in nature to the Acquisition, the Directors intend to account for the Acquisition in the consolidated financial statements of Basper as a continuation of the financial statements of DirectMoney, together with a share based payment measured in accordance with AASB 2. The excess of the assessed value of the share based payment over the net assets of Basper is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as a listing fee.

Basper will issue a maximum of 195,800,000 ordinary shares to DirectMoney shareholders and 3,809,932 ordinary shares to LAF Parties who own share options in DirectMoney who, as a result, will collectively own approximately a maximum of 95.2% of the combined entity at settlement of the Acquisition immediately prior to the Offer. The remaining 4.8% will be owned by the current shareholders of Basper.

As there is no current market for DirectMoney shares, the fair value of 100% of Basper is assessed as $2,000,089 based on 10,000,443 post-consolidation Basper shares on issue immediately prior to the Acquisition, at an issue price of $0.20 per Share.

Consequently, a listing expense of $2,017,202 is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income which represents the excess of the deemed fair value of the share based payment less the net liabilities of Basper of $17,113 as at 31 December 2014, immediately prior to settlement of the acquisition, as set out below.

P a g e | 58

The $1.6 million adjustment to share capital as a result of the reverse acquisition relates to the removal of the existing share capital in Basper ($3.6 million) and replaced by the deemed fair value of the share based payment (refer Table 5 above). Similarly, the $1.6 million adjustment to retained earnings relates to the removal of the existing retained losses in Basper ($3.6 million) offset to some extent by the recognition of the listing expense on reverse acquisition (refer Table 5 above).

Note ii – Interest bearing liabilities

DirectMoney has agreed with the secured noteholder to repay the interest bearing liabilities of $2.0 million in conjunction with the Offer (and no later than 15 June 2015).

Note iii – Convertible notes

The convertible notes, together with any interest accrued, will convert into ordinary share capital at a deemed issue price of $0.20 per Share in conjunction with the Offer.

Notes iv and v – Offer proceeds and Acquisition / Offer Costs

The Offer is expected to raise $15.0 million before payment of Acquisition / Offer costs, which are expected to total approximately $1.6 million. Of these costs, $1.2 million is recorded against share capital and $0.4 million is recorded against retained earnings based on the nature of the expense and whether they are considered directly attributable to either the Offer or the Acquisition.

8.7 Debt Facilities

As at the date of the Acquisition and immediately thereafter the Combined Group has not entered into any bank debt arrangements or other financing arrangements with third parties.

8.8 Lease Commitments

As at the date of the Acquisition and immediately thereafter the Combined Group has two leases in place relating to the rental of office space on Levels 6 and 8 at 58 Pitt St, Sydney. The current lease agreements expire in July 2016 and the associated lease commitments are summarised in the table below.

8.9 Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Combined Group will apply the proceeds of the Transaction to fund the origination of personal loans into the Loan Warehouse and to provide working capital to fund operations (in addition to meeting the costs of the Offer). The Combined Group expects to recycle capital from the sale of seasoned loans from the Loan Warehouse to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund and other vehicles.

8.10 Dividend Policy

The combined group does not expect to pay a dividend in the first year following the Acquisition.

P a g e | 59

Future dividend policy shall be set by the Combined Group’s Board consistent with the business objectives, opportunities for investment and market conditions at that time. The ability of the Combined Group to pay any dividend in the future is dependent upon many factors including future profitability. The Directors are therefore unable to give any assurance regarding the payment of dividends in the future, if at all.

8.11 Significant Accounting Policies

The financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have noted that the ability of the entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the following:

  • The success of the listing in 30 June 2015;

  • The continued support of the principal investor;

  • The success of the new retail personal loan fund in selling units; and

  • The success of the unlisted investment company in selling shares.

Since 31 December 2014, DirectMoney has had additional funding through the issue of ordinary shares totalling $2.1 million and convertible notes of $500,000.

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the requirements of the prospectus. Such accounting policies are consistent with the previous period unless stated otherwise.

The financial information has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the notes. The accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the financial information are as follows:

8.11.1. Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income). DirectMoney does not recognise deferred tax assets or liabilities. Tax assets are only recognised when it is probable that future profits will be generated to utilise such tax losses.

Current income tax expense (revenue) 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 reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

8.11.2. Property, plant and equipment

All property, plant and equipment except for freehold land and buildings are initially measured at cost and are depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis. Depreciation commences from the time the asset is available for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The useful lives used for each class of depreciable asset are as follows:

Class of Asset Useful Life
Plant and equipment 5-20 years
Leased plant and equipment 10 years

P a g e | 60

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount. Freehold land and buildings are carried at their recoverable amounts, based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by the directors. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted in determining recoverable amounts.

8.11.3. Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred on a straight line basis.

8.11.4. Financial Instruments

(i) Initial recognition and 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 DirectMoney commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are recognised as expenses in profit or loss immediately.

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

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 the initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through 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 expenses item in profit or loss.

DirectMoney does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

a. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss.

P a g e | 61

b. 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.

c. 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.

(iii) Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, DirectMoney assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. A financial asset (or 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, DirectMoney recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account he original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events have occurred are duly considered.

(iv) 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 or consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

8.11.5. Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any provision for impairment.

At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables are reviewed to determine whether there is any objective evidence that the amounts are not recoverable. A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that DirectMoney will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

P a g e | 62

8.11.6. Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets and investments are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset (or group of related assets) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the asset’s future cash flows discounted at the expected rate of return. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

8.11.7. Provisions

Provision is made for DirectMoney’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits have been measured at the nominal amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus any related on-costs. Annual leave has been recognised within the provision liability. Considering all employees’ years of service at reporting date is less than five years, long service leave has not been recognised in the provision liability.

8.11.8. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

8.11.9. Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is not discounted to present values when recognising revenue.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

The loan establishment fees are deferred and recognised as an adjustment to the effective interest rate as these fees are an integral part of generating an involvement with the resulting financial instrument.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

8.11.10. 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 are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST components of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

P a g e | 63

8.11.11. Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by DirectMoney during the reporting period, which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability at their transaction price. They are subject to normal credit terms (30-60 days) and do not bear interest.

8.11.12. Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are recognised as equity at the amount paid up per ordinary share, net of directly attributable issue costs.

8.11.13. Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional and presentation currency of the financial information is in Australian dollars.

8.11.14. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial information based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within DirectMoney.

(i) Key Estimates

There are no estimations factored into the financial information.

(ii) Key Judgments

  • a. Write-off and impairment of loan receivables

DirectMoney’s experienced collections officer has performed a loan-by-loan assessment of all loan receivables at reporting date.

The collections officer’s judgment, supported by detailed case notes outlining interactions with the delinquent borrowers, deemed part of the loan receivables as unrecoverable. An appropriate bad debt expense was raised to reflect this write off.

Further, after a review of case notes, the collections officer raised an impairment of loan receivables for those loans aged more than 60 days.

b. Employee benefits

For the purpose of measurement, AASB 119: Employee Benefits defines obligation for short-term employee benefits as obligations expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. As DirectMoney expects that all of its employees would use all of their annual leave entitlements earned during a reporting period before 12 months after the end of the reporting period, the directors consider that obligations for annual leave entitlements satisfy the definition of short-term employee benefits and therefore, can be measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid to employees when the obligations are settled.

The Directors Basper Limited (to be renamed DirectMoney Limited) Suite 25 145 Stirling Highway Nedlands WA 6009 Australia

26 May 2015

Dear Directors

INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

Introduction

BDO East Coast Partnership (BDO) has been engaged by Basper Limited (to be renamed DirectMoney Limited) (the Company) to prepare this Investigating Accountant's Report (Report) in relation to certain financial information of the Company in connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of DirectMoney Pty Ltd (DMPL), the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to raise a maximum of $15.0 million and re-listing of the Company on the Australian Securities Exchange, for inclusion in a prospectus proposed to be issued on or about 26 May 2015 (Prospectus).

Unless stated otherwise in this Report, expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.

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.

Scope

You have requested BDO to perform a limited assurance engagement in relation to the pro forma historical information described below and disclosed in the Prospectus.

The 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.

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information

You have requested BDO to review the following pro forma historical financial information (the “Pro Forma Historical Financial Information”) included in the Prospectus:

  • the pro forma historical Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2014.

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical financial information of the Company and DMPL, after adjusting for the effects of pro forma adjustments

BDO East Coast Partnership ABN 83 236 985 726 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO East Coast Partnership and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation, other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees.

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

described in section 8.6 of the Prospectus. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial information and the event(s) or transaction(s) to which the pro forma adjustments relate, as described in section 8.2 of the Prospectus, as if those event(s) or transaction(s) had occurred as at the date of the historical financial information. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company or DMPL’s actual or prospective financial position, financial performance, and/or cash flows.

The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by the Company to illustrate the impact of the event(s) or transaction(s) described in Section 8.6 of the Prospectus on the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2014. As part of this process, information about the Company and DMPL’s financial position has been extracted by the Company from the Company and DMPL’s financial statements for the six month period ended 31 December 2014.

The financial statements of the Company for the six month period ended 31 December 2014 were reviewed by RSM Bird Cameron Partners in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. RSM Bird Cameron issued an unqualified review opinion in respect of these financial statements, with an emphasis of matter paragraph regarding the fact there is a material uncertainty regarding the ability for the Company to continue as a going concern in the event the Acquisition and Offer do not proceed. The financial statements of DMPL for the six month period ended 31 December 2014 were reviewed by BDO in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, who have issued an unqualified review opinion in respect of these financial statements.

Directors’ Responsibility

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the 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 Pro Forma Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express limited assurance conclusions on the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, based on our limited assurance engagement. 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.

The Directors Basper Limited (to be renamed DirectMoney Limited) Suite 25 145 Stirling Hwy NEDLANDS WA 6009

26 May 2015

Dear Sirs

AUSTRALIAN TAXATION REPORT

We have been requested by the Directors of Basper Limited (to be renamed DirectMoney Limited) (“ Basper ”) to prepare an Australian taxation report to be included in a Prospectus dated 26 May 2015 (the “ Prospectus ”).

Under this Prospectus, Basper is seeking to raise up to $15,000,000 (less costs) through an offer to subscribe for 75,000,000 ordinary shares at an offer price of $0.20 per share.

This report provides a general summary of Australian tax issues for Australian tax resident investors who acquire shares in Basper pursuant to this Prospectus. The categories of investors considered in this report are limited to individuals, companies (other than life insurance companies), trusts, partnerships and complying superannuation entities that hold shares on capital account.

This report does not consider the consequences for non-Australian tax resident investors, banks, insurance companies, investors exempt from Australian tax, or investors who hold their shares on revenue account. It also does not consider the consequences for investors who are subject to Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (the Taxation of Financial Arrangements regime) and have made fair value or financial reports elections.

This report has been drafted on the basis of Australian income tax legislation and interpretations of that legislation at the date of this report. It does not take into account the tax law of countries other than Australia.

This report is general in nature and is not intended to be an authoritative or complete statement of the applicable law.

Investors should seek independent professional advice on the implications of ownership or disposal of the shares, taking into account their specific circumstances.

BDO East Coast Partnership ABN 83 236 985 726 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO East Coast Partnership and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation, other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees.

1. Taxation treatment of dividends

The shares to be issued by Basper to investors should be treated as “equity interests” for Australian tax purposes. Any profits returned by Basper to the investors in respect of the shares should be treated as dividends for Australian taxation purposes.

Dividends received by Australian investors will constitute assessable income.

Individuals and complying superannuation entities

Australian tax resident investors who are individuals or complying superannuation entities should include the dividend in assessable income in the year in which the dividend is paid, together with any franking credit attached to that dividend. The franking credit is generally available as an offset against the investor’s tax liability (subject to the investor being a “qualified person” – refer further comments below). Where the tax offset exceeds the tax payable on the investor’s taxable income, investors should be entitled to a refund.

Where a dividend is unfranked, investors will generally be liable for tax at their applicable marginal tax rate. No tax offset is available.

Corporate investors

Australian tax resident corporate investors should also include the dividend received (and attached franking credit) in their assessable income. A tax offset is available (up to the amount of the franking credit). Excess franking credits received do not give rise to a refund of tax but may be able to be converted into tax losses.

Such investors should also be entitled to a credit in their own franking account (to the extent of the franking credit received) that can in turn be passed back to their own shareholders on the payment of dividends.

The receipt of unfranked dividends will be subject to tax at the general company tax rate (30%).

Trusts and partnerships

Investors who are trustees (other than trustees of complying superannuation entities) or partnerships should include the franking credit in determining the net income of the trust or partnership. The relevant beneficiary or partner may be entitled to a tax offset equal to the beneficiary’s or partner’s share of the franking credit received by the trust or partnership.

2

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

“At risk” holding of shares

The abovestated benefit of franking credits can be denied where an investor is not a “qualified person” in which case the investor will not be able to include an amount for the franking credit in their assessable income and will not be entitled to a tax offset.

Broadly, to be a qualified person, an investor must satisfy the holding period rule, and, if necessary, the related payments rule.

The holding period rule requires an investor to hold the shares “at risk” for more than 45 days continuously (from the day after the investor acquires the shares to the 45[th] day after the shares become ex-dividend). Any day on which an investor has a materially diminished risk or loss of opportunity for gain (through transactions such as granting options or warrants over the shares, or entering into a disposal contract) will not be counted as a day on which the investor held the shares “at risk”. The holding period rule is subject to certain exceptions (including where the total franking offsets for an individual in an income year is less than $5,000). Specific rules apply to trusts and beneficiaries.

Under the related payments rule, a different testing period applies where an investor has made, or is under an obligation to make, a “related payment” in relation to a dividend (broadly involving the benefit of the dividend being passed on to another party). The related payment rule requires the investor to have held the shares at risk for a period commencing on the 45[th] day before, and ending on the 45[th] day after, the day the shares become ex-dividend.

Investors should obtain their own tax advice to determine if these requirements have been satisfied.

2. Taxation treatment of disposal of shares

The disposal of shares by investors will be a capital gains tax (“ CGT ”) event.

A capital gain will arise if the capital proceeds on the disposal of the shares are greater than the cost base of the shares (broadly, the amount paid to acquire the shares plus any transaction costs).

A CGT discount may be applied in relation to the net capital gain where the investor is an individual, complying superannuation entity or trustee; the shares have been held for at least 12 months; and certain other conditions are satisfied. Where the CGT discount applies, any capital gain arising to individuals and entities acting as trustees (other than a complying superannuation entity) may be reduced by 50% (after offsetting current year and prior year capital losses). For a complying superannuation entity, any capital gain may be reduced by 33⅓% (after offsetting current year and prior year capital losses).

Corporate investors are not entitled to any CGT discount and are generally taxed at 30% on capital gains they derive.

3

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Where the capital proceeds on the disposal are less than the reduced cost base of the shares, a capital loss will arise. Capital losses can generally only be applied against capital gains realised by the investor in the same income year (or future income years subject to certain loss recoupment tests being satisfied). Capital losses cannot be offset against other assessable income.

3. Tax file number (“TFN”) and Australian Business Number (“ABN”)

Investors who do not quote their TFN or ABN will automatically be subject to a withholding tax (at the highest marginal tax rate) on any unfranked dividend paid to them by Basper. The highest marginal tax rate (including the Medicare levy and the Temporary Budget Repair levy) is currently 49%.

Basper is required to withhold and remit such tax until the time that the TFN or ABN is supplied by the investor. The amount withheld by Basper in these circumstances should be available as a credit against the investor’s tax liability.

4. Indirect taxes

Investors should not be liable for stamp duty in respect of their investment in shares. Further, under current legislation, no stamp duty should be payable in the event of a subsequent transfer of shares.

Investors should not be liable for GST in respect of their investment in shares. Investors may not be entitled to claim full input tax credits in respect of GST paid on costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of shares.

Investors should seek independent professional advice on the indirect tax implications of holding and disposing of the shares, taking into account their specific circumstances.

Disclaimer

This taxation report does not constitute “financial product advice” under the Corporations Act 2001 as BDO East Coast Partnership is not licensed to provide financial product advice under the Corporations Act 2001 .

This report has been prepared for general circulation and does not take into account the financial situation, objectives or needs of any investor. Therefore, any investor should, before acting on this Prospectus, consider seeking advice from a person who is licensed to provide financial product advice under the Corporations Act 2001 .

11 MATERIAL CONTRACTS

The Directors consider that the material contracts summarised below and elsewhere in this Prospectus are the contracts which an investor would reasonably regard as material and which investors and their professional advisers would reasonably expect to find described in this Prospectus for the purpose of making an informed assessment of the Offer.

11.1 Share Sale Agreement

On 24 March 2015, the Company announced that it had entered into a Share Sale Agreement with the Vendors to acquire 100% of the issued share capital in DirectMoney, an unlisted Australian company.

(a) Conditions Precedent

Completion of the Acquisition pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement is conditional on the satisfaction or waiver of the summarised in section 4.5 of this Prospectus.

These conditions must be satisfied or waived by no later than 31 July 2015 (or any other date agreed in writing between the Company and the Vendors).

(b) Completion Date

Completion of the Acquisition will take place on the day that is 2 Business Days after satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions Precedent or such other date as the Vendors and the Company agree.

(c) Consideration

In exchange for the Company acquiring 100% of the issued shares in DirectMoney, the Company will issue Shares to the Vendors by way of consideration ( Vendor Consideration Shares ), in proportion to their shareholding in DirectMoney.

For the purpose of calculating the consideration:

  • (i) existing Shares will be valued at $0.20 per Share; and

  • (ii) the number of Vendor Consideration Shares to be issued to the Vendors will be calculated based on a purchase price for the DirectMoney shares of $39,160,000 on a fully diluted basis.

(d) Changes to the Company’s Board

Under the Agreement, the Company must procure that the Board will take all actions necessary to ensure that at the Meeting and with effect from Completion:

  • (i) Stephen Porges is appointed as a director of the Company, holding the title of Chairman of the Company;

  • (ii) Campbell McComb will remain as a director of the Company, holding the title of executive director of the Company;

  • (iii) one additional nominee of the Vendors is appointed as a non-executive director of the Company (provided that such person has been nominated in writing by the Vendors not less than 14 days prior to the sending of the Shareholder Booklet). Craig Swanger is the nominee of the Vendors; and

  • (iv) all other directors of the Company resign.

P a g e | 67

(e) Escrow Restrictions

Under the Share Sale Agreement, the Company and the Vendors agree that the Vendor Consideration Shares may be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules.

(f) Other terms

The Share Sale Agreement also contains other usual terms and conditions, including representations and warranties from each party. Claims on the representations and warranties are subject to certain financial, time and other limits which have been negotiated by the parties.

11.2 Underwriting Agreement

Bell Potter Securities and the Company have entered into an Underwriting Agreement under which the Underwriter has agreed to underwrite the Minimum Subscription of the Capital Raising, being the subscription for 50,000,000 Shares at $0.20 to raise a minimum of $10 million (before costs), to the extent that there is a shortfall in subscriptions to raise this minimum amount.

Both the Company and the Underwriter have agreed to use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the number of Applications received will be sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy the condition in condition 7 of ASX Listing Rule 1.1 for the Shares to be reinstated to quotation on the ASX, namely that there be the required minimum number of Shareholders holding a marketable parcel of Shares.

The Company must pay the Underwriter a management and underwriting fee equal to 2.5% (excluding GST) of the gross proceeds of the Capital Raising, payable within 7 business days after completion of the Capital Raising. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Underwriter certain agreed costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in relation to the Capital Raising, including legal expenses estimated to be no more than $20,000 (plus GST and disbursements).

The Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement on certain grounds as set out in the Underwriting Agreement, including but not limited to where:

  • a consent necessary for the issue of the Prospectus is withdrawn;

  • the Company materially breaches the Underwriting Agreement and fails to remedy the breach;

  • there is a material change to the Company, DirectMoney or any subsidiary or to the industry in which the Company, DirectMoney or the subsidiary operates;

  • either of the All Ordinaries Index or the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index close 10% or more below their respective levels as at the close of trading immediately preceding the date of the Underwriting Agreement for 3 or more consecutive Business Days;

  • there is an outbreak of war which in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Offer; or

  • a senior manager of the Company or DirectMoney resigns or is removed from office or is charged with or convicted of a criminal offence or becomes bankrupt, or steps are taken to achieve such an outcome.

The Company has also provided representations and warranties to Bell Potter Securities that are customary for these types of arrangements, including about the Company, the Prospectus and the Capital Raising.

P a g e | 68

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter and its related bodies corporate and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) on an after-tax basis, against any claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable legal cost on a solicitor and own client basis) to which such Indemnified Party may sustain or incur in connection with the Capital Raising, including but not limited to losses incurred directly or indirectly as a result of:

The indemnity does not apply to the extent that any claim, loss, liability or expense arises from wilful misconduct, negligence, breach of contract, fraud or breach of law by the indemnified party.

11.3 Lead Manager Mandate

The Company has entered into a mandate agreement with Bell Potter Securities dated 24 April 2015 pursuant to which the Company appointed Bell Potter Securities as the sole lead manager to the Capital Raising.

11.4 Arrangements with LAF Parties

As referred to in Section 12.8(d), Liberum Alternative Finance (and its directors Simon Atkinson and Cormac Leech) ( LAF Parties ) and DirectMoney entered into a Share Option Agreement in November 2014.

Under the terms of the Share Option Agreement, the LAF Parties were entitled to receive certain options as described in Section 12.8(d).

The issue of the options was in lieu of payment for professional services provided by the LAF Parties to DirectMoney in respect of the Capital Raising. The professional services include services such as advising in connection with the structure, valuation and mechanics of the Capital Raising, assisting with the offer document, assisting in planning an investor marketing program, using reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers and certain other items.

P a g e | 69

Under an amendment to the Share Option Agreement dated 16 May 2015, the LAF Parties have now agreed to waive their entitlement to exercise their respective options, in return for being issued with the number of Shares in the Company they would otherwise have been entitled to on completion of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Resolutions, had they exercised their respective options prior to such completion occurring.

The LAF Parties must continue to perform the services in connection with the Capital Raising contemplated by the original Share Option Agreement.

Liberum Capital will be entitled to a commission of 5% of the aggregate value of the gross proceeds of Shares issued to placees procured by Liberum Capital in connection with the Capital Raising. Liberum Capital placees will be subject to the availability of Shares under the Capital Raising and the Company is not obliged to allocate Shares to Liberum Capital placees in priority to any other applicant.

Liberum Capital has also consented to Bell Potter Securities acting as lead manager and underwriter for the Capital Raising.

DirectMoney intends to repay the Secured Loan with the proceeds of funds anticipated to be received from the sale of Personal Loans to the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund, DirectMoney Marketplace Limited and other third party institutions if necessary on or prior to 15 June 2015.

The effect of this transaction is that the Loan Warehouse and DirectMoney and its subsidiaries will not have any debt on their balance sheet as at the Re-admission Date.

The Loan Sale and Servicing Deed allows the Responsible Entity to terminate the services of the Servicer in certain circumstances. The Responsible Entity may terminate all or any part of the services of the Servicer if an ‘event of default’ occurs in respect of the Servicer. Examples of such ‘events of default’ include where the Servicer becomes insolvent, there is a change of control of the Servicer without the Responsible Entity’s consent and where the Servicer fails to perform any provision of the Loan Sale and Servicing Deed and that failure is not rectified within a specified period.

There are also provisions allowing the Responsible Entity to terminate if, for example, the Investment Manager becomes insolvent.

The Investment Manager is permitted to terminate the agreement in certain circumstances, such as if the Responsible Entity ceases to be the responsible entity for the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund.

(c) Fund Administration Agreement

This agreement is between the Responsible Entity and a third party service provider, Unity Fund Services Pty Ltd ACN 146 747 122 as fund administrator ( Fund Administrator ), under which the Fund Administrator provides administration services for the day-to-day operation of the DirectMoney Personal Loan Fund. These services include fund accounting, unit pricing, unit registry services, taxation services and preparation of statutory accounts.

(e) Subordination Deed

This agreement is between the Responsible Entity, the Credit Manager and the Seller. Under this agreement the Seller subordinates all of its rights to repayment of the Seller Loan to the Responsible Entity’s rights to be paid amounts owed to it by the Credit Manager out of the Loan Investment Reserve Account under the Loan Sale and Servicing Deed as part of the sale of Delinquent Loan Investments.

(f) Account Bank Deed

This agreement is between the Responsible Entity, the Credit Manager and the bank that holds the Loan Investment Reserve Account ( Account Bank ).

The General Security Deed is a form of document to be entered into between DirectMoney Marketplace Limited and a security trustee who acts on behalf of investors.

12.5 Restricted Securities and Escrow Arrangements

The Directors expect that, of the:

  • 195,800,000 Vendor Consideration Shares; and

  • 3,809,932 Shares to be issued to the LAF Parties (see Section 12.8(d)),

the following escrow restrictions will be applied by ASX in accordance with the Listing Rules:

  • (a) 13,008,051 Shares will be escrowed for a period of 12 months from the date the corresponding DirectMoney shares were issued (representing 4.57% of the total Shares on issue following completion of the Offer (and Acquisition) assuming the Maximum Subscription). As at the date of this Prospectus, the escrow expiry period of these shares has not yet lapsed; and

Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules precludes holders of restricted securities from disposing of those securities or an interest in those securities or agreeing to dispose of those securities or an interest in those securities for the relevant restriction periods. The holder of such securities will be precluded from granting a security interest over those securities. However, ASX may consent to those Shares being sold under a takeover bid or under a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement under the Corporations Act.

P a g e | 75

Final details of any such restriction or escrow arrangements will be disclosed prior to commencement of Official Quotation of the Shares.

Example Vesting Scenarios

The vesting of Performance Rights will be subject to certain criteria. Upon vesting of the Performance Rights, Shares will automatically be issued or transferred to the participant, unless the Company is in a "Closed Period" (as defined in the Company's Securities Trading Policy) or the Company determines in good faith that the issue or transfer of Shares may breach the insider trading provisions of the Corporations Act, or the Securities Trading Policy in which case the Company will issue or transfer the Shares as soon as reasonably practical thereafter.

The following is a summary of the key terms of the Plan:

  • (i) Participation : The Board retains complete discretion to make offers of Performance Rights to any Eligible Person.

  • (ii) No Assignment : Except on the death of a Participant, Performance Rights may not be transferred, assigned or novated except with the approval of the Board.

  • (iii) Vesting : Performance Rights may vest in the following ways:

  • if the applicable Performance Conditions in relation to a Performance Period are met as at the relevant test date as set out in the Offer, the Board will determine the number of Performance Rights which will become vested Performance Rights;

P a g e | 81

  • if the Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person because of retirement, total and permanent disability, redundancy or death ( Specified Reason ), the Board may determine the extent to which Performance Rights held by the Eligible Person or their nominee become vested Performance Rights; and

  • in the event a takeover bid for the Company is declared unconditional, there is a change in control in the Company, or if a merger by way of scheme of arrangement has been approved by a court, then the Board will determine an alternate test date to determine whether the Performance Conditions as set out in the Offer have been met and the extent to which Performance Rights will vest.

  • (iv) Automatic Issue of Shares : Upon vesting of Performance Rights, Shares will automatically be issued or transferred to the participant, unless the Company is in a Blackout Period or the Company determines in good faith that the issue or transfer of Shares at that time may breach the insider trading provisions of the Corporations Act or the Securities Trading Policy, in which case the Company will issue or transfer the Shares as soon as reasonably practical thereafter.

(v) Lapse :

  • Offers of Performance Rights under the Plan will be open for the period (and as otherwise specified) in the Offer. If an application for Performance Rights is not returned within the time specified or otherwise in accordance with the requirements set out in the Offer, the Board may nevertheless in its sole discretion treat any application received from an Eligible Person (or their nominee) as being validly returned. Notwithstanding the completion of an application for Performance Rights, the Eligible Person (or their nominee) will not hold a Performance Right or have any future right to Shares until the time the Performance Rights are granted.

  • If the Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person for other than a Specified Reason, any unvested Performance Rights will lapse, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

  • (vi) Issue Limitations : The Board is not entitled to make an Offer to an Eligible Person if at the time of making the Offer, the number of Shares to be received on vesting of the Performance Rights the subject of the Offer, when aggregated with the number of Shares that have been issued, or that may be issued, as a result of offers made during the previous 3 years under the Plan, or under any other employee incentive scheme of the Company, in reliance on any ASIC Class Order or similar relief, would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any ASIC Class Order or individual ASIC relief instrument in relation to employee incentive schemes) of the total number of issued Shares as at the time of the Offer.

  • (vii) Amendment of Plan : The Board retains the discretion to amend the rules of the Plan by resolution or to suspend or terminate it at any time.

(d) Share issue to Liberum Alternative Finance

Liberum Alternative Finance (and its directors Simon Atkinson and Cormac Leech) ( LAF Parties ) and DirectMoney entered into a share option agreement in November 2014 ( Share Option Agreement ) pursuant to which DirectMoney issued each LAF Party an option to acquire the following fully paid ordinary DirectMoney shares, for a total consideration of $1.00:

  • Liberum Alternative Finance – 4,654,000 DirectMoney shares

  • Simon Atkinson – 923,000 DirectMoney shares; and

  • Cormac Leech – 923,000 DirectMoney shares,

P a g e | 82

being a total number of 6,500,000 shares, in lieu of payment for professional services provided by the LAF Parties to DirectMoney in respect of the Offer.

Under the terms of the Share Option Agreement, the LAF Parties are entitled to exercise their respective options, at an option price of $0.0001 per DirectMoney share, in the event of an initial public offering or rights issue of DirectMoney’s shares on a licensed Australian stock exchange, or a reverse take-over, acquisition or similar transaction where the counterparty is listed and quoted on a licensed Australian stock exchange.

The completion of the Acquisition and Offer and subsequent re-admission to quotation of the Company as “DirectMoney Limited” would entitle the LAF parties to exercise their Options and be issued with a total of 6,500,000 fully paid ordinary DirectMoney shares as set out above.

However, the LAF Parties and DirectMoney have instead agreed that the LAF Parties will waive their entitlement to exercise their respective options, in return for the LAF Parties being issued with the number of Shares in the Company they would otherwise have been entitled to on completion of the Acquisition, had they exercised their respective options prior to such completion occurring. The Company has also consented to this arrangement.

Accordingly, subject to Shareholder approval the LAF Parties will be issued with the following Shares as soon as reasonably practicable after the Completion Date:

  • Liberum Alternative Finance – 2,727,912 Shares;

  • Simon Atkinson – 541,010 Shares; and

  • Cormac Leech – 541,010 Shares,

These Shares may be subject to escrow restrictions pursuant to the Listing Rules.

12.9 Contract Summaries

Summaries of contracts set out in this Prospectus (including the summaries in Section 12) are included for the information of potential Applicants but do not purport to be complete and are qualified by the text of the contracts themselves.

12.10 Legal Proceedings

So far as the Directors are aware as at the date of this Prospectus, there is no current or threatened civil litigation or other legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings of a material nature in which the Company is directly or indirectly involved or which are likely to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial position of the Company.

12.11 Share Certificates and participation in CHESS

The Company will be admitted to participate in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System ( CHESS ) in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. On admission to CHESS, the Company will operate an electronic issuer-sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers will make up the Company’s principal register of securities.

The Company will not issue share certificates to shareholders. Instead, shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the issuer sponsored sub-register will be provided with a holding statement by the Company which sets out the number of Shares allotted to each shareholder under this Prospectus. For shareholders who elect to hold their Shares on the CHESS subregister, the Company will, on allotment, issue an advice to shareholders that sets out the number of Shares allotted to the shareholder under this Prospectus and at the end of the month following the allotment, CHESS (acting on behalf of the Company) will provide each shareholder with a holding statement that confirms the number of Shares allotted to it.

P a g e | 83

A holding statement (whether issued by CHESS or the Company) will also provide details of a Shareholder’s holder identification number (in the case of a holding on the CHESS subregister) or a shareholder reference number (in the case of a holding on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Following distribution of these initial holding statements to all Shareholders, a holding statement will only routinely be provided to Shareholders at the end of any subsequent month during which the Shareholder’s holding of Shares changes.
