BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 5 5 Letter from the Founders Dear fellow shareholder, Bailador Technology Investments (Bailador) was listed on the Australian stock exchange in November 2014 to give retail and institutional investors the opportunity to invest in information technology companies at the expansion stage. Expansion stage companies in information technology have the following characteristics: several million dollars of revenue, an established customer base (usually international as well as domestic), proven technology and a proven management team. They are well past being ‘start-up’ businesses. The companies of interest to Bailador have identified very large target markets they can sell into, have technology that is at least as good as anything else in the world, have highly profitable unit economics* and a demonstrated effective approach to acquiring new customers in their target markets. What these companies don’t have is enough capital to invest in acquiring new customers rapidly and the experience of growing a company from revenue of something like $5 million to revenue of $50 million or more. A brief history Bailador (then called the Bailador Trust) was founded nearly five years ago in December 2010. We recognised an opportunity to invest in expansion stage information technology companies and established a private fund to do so. We made three successful investments and grew the value of the fund considerably. Most notably our $5.6 million investment in SiteMinder attracted a $33 million follow-on investment from the highly reputable Silicon Valley fund Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) at a valuation 3.7 times higher than our investment only eighteen months earlier Typically, fund managers presented with the opportunity to return virtually all of their investor’s money early in the life of a fund will do so and use that excellent performance to raise a second larger fund. We thought about this, but decided it was not in our investor’s interest to cash them out of an investment that we thought was likely to return a great deal more than we could realise back in December 2013. (We have been right on this). Given the growth potential of the companies we invest in, we decided that the typical closed-end venture or buyout private equity fund structure was not the best approach for us. We needed a permanent capital structure. Furthermore we liked the idea of providing the opportunity for retail investors to invest in information technology at a stage (expansion, that is) otherwise unavailable to them. This stage is the traditional domain of Silicon Valley expansion capital funds and ultra-high net worth investors, often through family offices. So in November last year we transferred our then current investments – SiteMinder, Viocorp and SMI – into a new company, Bailador Technology Investments, raised an additional $25 million to continue our investment program and listed on the ASX. Why Bailador is different from a typical LIC Bailador is what is officially known as a Listed Investment Company (or LIC for short). That is, we are listed on the ASX and we invest in other companies. That is about where the similarity to other LICs ends. Virtually all of the LICs listed on the ASX are listed companies that invest in other listed companies. Usually they have a theme (micro caps, small caps, emerging markets and international are some of the most common). These LICs invest in ordinary shares in listed companies. Accordingly, the terms on which the managers of these LICs make investments are no different to the terms obtained by anyone else investing in listed companies. A typical equity investment in a listed company sits at the bottom of the capital structure after bank debt and occasionally a fancy hybrid or corporate bond. In a typical LIC the manager, speaking on behalf of all the investors in the fund, has no more rights than any other individual or institutional investor. Bailador is very different from a typical LIC. Bailador invests in private companies not public companies. The only way to get access to these companies is through an investment in Bailador. The terms of Bailador’s investment are bespoke. That is the terms on which we invest are tailored especially for Bailador and we negotiate the particular terms and rights attached to our investment very carefully. Almost all of the bespoke terms we negotiate are aimed at reducing the risk associated with equity investing while maximising our access to upside. For instance, we always have seniority in the capital structure. We achieve this through a convertible preference share or note. The companies we invest in do not have debt and as a consequence Bailador sits not at the bottom of the capital structure as investors in publicly listed companies do but at the very top. This means that in the event of a sale of the company in circumstances in which there is no benefit to Bailador in converting our preference shares into ordinary shares, we get our money out first. " Almost all of the bespoke terms we negotiate are aimed at reducing the risk associated with equity investing while maximising our access to upside." The difference between Bailador and typical LICs extends to valuation methodologies. All LICs publish a monthly Net Tangible Assets (NTA) per share statement to the ASX. Whereas the published NTA per share of typical LICs records the traded prices of their investments, Bailador’s NTA per share is based on conservative valuations of the underlying private investments. Since listing only one of BTI’s portfolio investments has been revalued above cost plus accrued interest, reflecting the conservative nature of the valuations. Our specific aim is to sell our investments for higher values than we hold them in our books. It is in our and your interests that we do this in order to demonstrate that Bailador shares should trade at a premium to NTA per share not at a discount. All valuations are reviewed by an independent expert (this year, BDO) at 30 June, as well as reviewed by the Board of BTI. One of the important benefits of investing in publicly listed equities is liquidity; investors can sell their shares when they want to and get their money back. There is certainly less liquidity investing in private companies, but Bailador cannot get ‘stuck’ in a company because another one of the terms we agree when we invest is the * Unit economics is the analysis of the profitability of new and established customers. The analysis starts with the revenue the customer provides and subtracts the cost to acquire the customer and the cost to serve the customer to arrive at the profitability (before an allocation of fixed costs) of individual customers and the average for a large number of customers. 6 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Letter from the Founders (continued) right to initiate the sale of the whole company after a period of time. Important other terms we commonly negotiate include pre-emptive rights if others sell, control of debt or new equity issuance, anti- dilution if new equity is raised, access to detailed information at all times and a board seat. We will not invest your money without agreement that either Paul or I will sit on the board. Sitting on the board helps us manage risk but that is not the only reason we make a board seat a prerequisite of a Bailador investment. If the founders, management and other shareholders of a potential investment do not recognise the value our experience and expertise can bring as they set about growing a small fast-growing company into a big fast-growing company, then we are not right for each other. We are wary of founders who are convinced they know it all already and are not open to advice and learning. Investing in information technology Now for a quiz. The S&P 500 Index is an index of 500 stocks listed on the NYSE and the NASDAQ. It captures roughly 80% of available market capitalisation and is widely considered the best measure of American stock market performance. Here are four sectors of the S&P500: Information Technology, Financials, Energy and Telecom, and here are four percentages, each of which corresponds to one of the sector’s share of the S&P500: 20%, 17%, 7% and 2%. Now try to match the sectors with the shares. If you guessed that the sectors and the shares are in the same order from largest to smallest you were right! Information Technology is the single largest sector on the S&P 500 and it is 10 times larger than Telecom and nearly three times larger than Energy. The make up of the Australian stock market reflects the small size of the country, its mineral wealth and competition policy that has for a long time been supportive of the four large banks and the two large retailers. The sector shares of the ASX100 do not remotely reflect what is going on in the everyday world for consumers and businesses. Growth and developments in information technology are hugely more influential for all of us than anything that is going on in a mine or a big bank or a supermarket. We know this in our daily lives but this has not yet filtered into investment decisions in Australia and New Zealand. An investment in the ASX100 Index is an investment 49% into financials, 15% into mining and 7% into consumer staples, mostly food retailing. These are the three largest sectors on the ASX100. An investment in the three largest sectors in the S&P500 Index on the other hand is an investment of 20% into information technology, 17% into financials and 15% into healthcare. Australian investors, at least index investors, do not have the exposure to the information technology sector that is normal in other parts of the world. The ASX100 index has a miniscule 0.6% weighting to information technology. So we Australian investors need to find smart ways to access information technology investment. Investing in the information technology sector in Australia and New Zealand requires a different approach. Bailador has been created to provide retail and institutional investors with an opportunity to add a portfolio of high growth information technology companies to their investment mix. Recent investments Since listing we have been busy. We have made a follow-on investment in portfolio company Viocorp and investments in three new companies. Our portfolio now numbers six. Since November last year we have added iPRO, Straker Translations and Stackla to our original three companies. We expect to add one more company before the end of the 2015 calendar year. The real stars of the show The real stars of the show are the founders of the businesses we invest in. What Paul, Andrea (our Investment Director) and I do is important. We constantly research markets and get to understand new technologies. We assess potential investments very carefully, and negotiate the terms of new investments. Then we sit on boards and work with management to improve company performance and develop relationships with potential funding partners as we head towards potential exits. But the real stars of the show are the founders of the businesses we invest in and the management teams that add customers, open new markets, develop new products and grow their businesses – fast. " The real stars of the show are the founders of the businesses we invest in." Mike Ford and Mike Rogers at SiteMinder have grown and developed their business into the largest and most successful hotel room inventory management and distribution company in the world bar none. Mike Ford got the idea for the business after listening to a friend who owned a backpackers hostel complain about how time consuming and inefficient it was for him to deal with the increasing number of online travel agents he wanted to list his room availability on. Now with more than 16,000 hotel customers, cash in the bank, offices on four continents and a crack management team capable of continuing to take market share and expand rapidly in untapped markets SiteMinder is set to be become one of the great Australian information technology success stories. Ron McCulloch and Ian Gardiner founded Viocorp as a video mail business more than ten years ago. They were early. Really early. They quickly recognised government and enterprise video communications was a more prospective market and set about building a product for that market. Not long after, they landed a contract in Malaysia to provide a comprehensive catch-up television service for the largest television company. Not satisfied with two fronts they then entered into an agreement with SingTel to provide a video communications platform for their customers in Singapore. Being Scotsmen they have always been able to make a wee dollar go a long way, but even they would admit that at times biting off more than you can chew and chewing like hell is going to give you indigestion.

Machine translation is cheap and inexpensive but alone does not provide the required accuracy or quality. Straker Translations’ solution is gaining market share quickly and is now looking towards API integrations with major global commerce and other services platforms to deliver even faster growth. Offices in Auckland, Sydney, Denver and Barcelona support global sales reach with 80% of sales now coming from outside Australia and New Zealand. It won’t surprise you to know that unbiased referrals from people who have tried a product is a more effective way of advertising than the company itself shouting about how good its products are. Word of mouth is still the most trusted source of knowledge about a product. In 2012, as social media was taking off, Damien Mahoney and Peter Cassidy recognised an opportunity to help companies harness all the positive and informative things that were being said about their products in social media. They built and launched Stackla, a technology platform to seek out, curate and serve User Generated Content (UGC) from all over the social media space into the relevant company’s marketing systems and programs. Damien and Peter moved to San Francisco to continue the company’s growth and just this month came back for long enough to conclude an investment with us. We think Stackla and Peter and Damien are a great fit for the Bailador portfolio and we are delighted to be working together. This then is the current roll-call of founders who, recognising a problem that information technology could solve, had the foresight, energy and risk appetite to bet their savings and a good deal of their working life to try and see if they could solve it. The founders are all different people of course but they have at least two important things in common. None of them is going to die wondering and they are not going to stop until they have got where they want to go. Annual General Meeting We would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support and personally invite you to join us at Bailador’s first AGM to be held at 11:00am (AEST) on 10th November at the offices of Gilbert + Tobin at Level 37, 2 Park Street Sydney. David Kirk Chairman and Executive Director Paul Wilson Executive Director Letter from the Founders (continued) Ian on the journey nearly five years ago now and it is fair to say it hasn’t always been plain sailing. Malaysia provided important cashflow but selling to media companies is not the company’s core business; SingTel is a great partner but corporate video communications in Asia is still nascent. And then it happened. If the product is the key – and it always is – the market opportunity is the lock. About a year ago we put the right key in the right lock and with a new CEO, Greg Miner, who had just the right experience, the key turned and we were through the door. It is now about scaling (what we know is) the world’s best fully-cloud-based video communications solution for enterprise and government clients. 2015 delivered more than 50% growth in new licence sales and the momentum continues into 2016. The prospects have never been better for Viocorp. Sue Fennessy and Jane Schulze recognised back in 2011 that the advertising spend information bandied about in the market was rubbish – inaccurate, incomplete and late. Sue and Jane decided to do something about it. They entered into agreements with media buying agencies (the companies that buy the time and space in media for advertising clients and hence know actual, not estimated, ad spend) and pooled all the data to provide the real numbers. Now every month SMI publishes actual advertising spend in great detail. SMI is now the dominant ad spend data source in Australia and New Zealand. Sue moved to New York to internationalise the business. A huge amount of progress has been made building the product and developing reference customers. The next step is working with other data providers to provide additional insights into advertising effectiveness for advertisers and revenue growth opportunities for media companies. Founder Mark Jackson-Knaggs’ company iPRO provides an online real-time platform linking hundreds of licensing and certifying bodies with clients and their contractors. Hospitals, universities, industrial contractors, miners and building contractors are just some of iPRO’s clients. These businesses need to know that the vendors that come on to their sites have all the necessary licenses and insurances in place and that they comply with all the certification requirements for the site. iPRO has a strong tailwind from increasing regulation and the trend to out-sourcing. Add to that the opportunity iPRO provides for automation of manual checking processes and it is clear iPRO is in the right place at the right time with the leading product anywhere. Grant and Merryn Straker are the founders of Auckland-based Straker Translations. Their company provides a hybrid machine translation and crowd-sourced human translation service on a purpose built workflow management platform. The global language translation industry has an unusual structure. There are a small number of large legacy providers and a huge number of very small businesses with less than 10 employees. Technology is 8 8 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Review of Operations New Investments In December 2014, BTI made a $3m investment in a convertible loan to Viocorp International Pty Ltd (Viocorp) reflecting the same valuation for Viocorp as shown in the October 2014 prospectus. BTI now owns 57% of Viocorp on a fully converted fully diluted basis. The valuation reflects cost plus accrued interest, and is consistent with the revenue multiple range of 2.0x-5.0x revenue outlined in the BTI prospectus in October 2014. At the same date, $1m was also drawn down by Viocorp on a working capital facility from Partners For Growth. The total funding of $4m is being used to accelerate execution of opportunities for revenue growth for Viocorp, particularly in direct sales of software licences to large corporates and government, and sales through partnership both in Australia and internationally. In March 2015, BTI made a $5.5m investment in convertible preference shares in iPRO Solutions Pty Ltd (iPRO). The valuation of the investment by BTI in iPRO reflects costs plus accrued interest, and is consistent with the revenue multiple range of 4.0x to 8.0x historical revenue. The BTI investment will be used primarily to fund expansion opportunities for iPRO in Australia and the USA. Valuation of Investments The Directors have reviewed the investment portfolio and net tangible assets of BTI as at 30 June 2015. In conducting their valuation review, the Directors have had regard to a BTI investment portfolio Valuation Review Report prepared by BDO Corporate Finance (Qld) Ltd. Information regarding the valuation of the investment portfolio is set out in Note 18 of the financial statements and in the section below “Operating Reports on Portfolio Companies”. Operating and Financial Review Principal Activities Bailador Technology Investments Limited (BTI) was established in August 2014 to invest in internet-related businesses in Australia and New Zealand that require growth capital. The target businesses typically have an enterprise valuation between $10 million and $200 million. In particular, the Company focuses on software, internet, mobile, data, online market-places and telecommunications-related businesses with proven revenue generation and management capability, demonstrated business models and expansion opportunities. Shortly after BTI was established, it acquired the investment portfolio assets of Bailador Trust. There were then no significant changes in the nature of the Company’s principal activities during the financial period. Our Business Model and Objectives Providing satisfactory returns to shareholders is our primary objective. Our success in achieving this objective is determined by total shareholder return (TSR) over time. The TSR we deliver will, over time, be directly related to the return on invested capital we achieve. Our business model is to identify, buy and hold investments in a portfolio of private internet-related businesses with strong growth prospects. Returns to shareholders will be delivered by growth in the value of investments held and through distributions to shareholders following the sale of investments. Following sales, we will continue to make new investments to maintain a portfolio of investments. Investments made by BTI are typically structured to provide a level of contractual protection superior to that available to investors in ordinary shares, thereby reducing risk. Thorough due diligence is carried out before investments are made and mandatory BTI representation on portfolio company boards ensures BTI’s close involvement with operational decisions. BTI continues to assess a strong pipeline of potential investments, and will continue to make investments as attractive, opportunities arise. Operating Results The profit of the Company amounted to $4,023,000, after providing for income tax. The net asset value of the company after all fees and excluding tax has increased at a rate of 17% pa since listing on the ASX on 12 November 2014. The level of cash held while constructing the portfolio has had a constraining impact on returns, which will abate as capital becomes fully deployed. BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 9 Operating and Financial Review (continued) Operating Reports on Portfolio Companies SiteMinder SiteMinder is the world leader in hotel channel management and distribution solutions for online accommodation bookings. Established in 2006, SiteMinder has developed a suite of products used by accommodation providers in over 100 countries to help increase online revenue, streamline business processes and drive down the cost of acquisition of bookings. SiteMinder facilitates transactions in the fast growing market of online accommodation booking. SiteMinder is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, licencing its software platform on a monthly basis to over 16,000 customers worldwide, making it the largest hotel booking channel manager in the world. It operates a subscription business model with greater than 90% of revenue being recurring in nature. SiteMinder has performed very well in the year to 30 June 2015, with revenue approximately 50% higher than prior year. Over the year SiteMinder further entrenched its position as the world-leading channel management system for hotels. In addition to continued growth in its core channel management product, SiteMinder experienced strong take up of its vertical product suite including its PMS for small hotels, Little Hotelier. SiteMinder also completed a small acquisition of a hotel technology provider with an established customer base primarily in Thailand and Indonesia. The customer base is expected to be particularly receptive to SiteMinder’s suite of products, and further extend SiteMinder’s leading position in the Asian region.

SMI has a subscription revenue model with over half of its revenue generated from international markets. SMI has exclusive access to advertising expenditure data through partnerships with global media buying agencies. The data available to SMI is actual advertising spend dollars as opposed to estimates, providing the company with a material point of difference. During the year, SMI grew revenue in the U.S. market through addition of a small number of material licence agreements, primarily with media companies. Sales in the Australian business remained solid, as expected. Revenue for the year to 30 June 2015 is approximately 14% higher than prior year. SMI has engaged in discussions with a number of prospective data sources to pair data to create new products which have the potential to deliver material revenue uplift. SMI continues to hold contracts to exclusively source data in more than 30 countries, and the prospect of establishing a global data business with dominant characteristics remains attractive.

Viocorp’s platform enables subscribers to use video strategically in business communications such as marketing, e-commerce, internal communications and corporate relations through the web, IPTV and mobile services. Viocorp securely host videos, and enable users to embed video into websites, create and publish video portals or stream live webcasts. During the year, Viocorp has continued its refocus on the fast growing corporate and government licencing market activities, while scaling back activity in the less attractive markets of professional services and bespoke development for large media clients. The result is a flat overall revenue result but very strong growth of 68% year on year in its core business of corporate licencing and webcasting, which now comprises 77% of annual revenue. Corporate licencing and webcasting is high value repeating revenue. Average new licence value for FY15 is more than double prior year, reflecting a targeted approach to market to larger customers at higher price points, and monetise additional features and functionality. Viocorp’s strategic position is more attractive than ever before, with the overwhelming majority of revenue now generated from recurring licence revenue from the core Viostream platform. The core target market of SaaS licence sales to corporates is growing extremely rapidly.

It offers clients a live 24/7 web-based data verification portal of vendor, supplier and employee information. The business takes advantage of major industry structural trends of outsourcing and risk management, utilising technology to more efficiently meet the needs of clients. iPRO has made significant progress since BTI’s investment in March 2015, in particular in strengthening the senior management team and improving execution capacity. Revenue to 30 June 2015 is approximately 70% higher than prior year. Processes and practices of the business are being re-engineered to allow the business to cope with the rapid scaling in vendor numbers indicated by its contracted client base. Material progress has also been made to prepare the business for the U.S. market, both from the perspective of the core iPRO SaaS platform readiness and that of prospective corporate clients.

Refer to the Company’s Monthly Report July 2015 release at www. bailador.com.au for further details. Other than the aforementioned investment, no matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the period that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company, the result of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent financial years. Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies Each of the BTI portfolio companies is well positioned for continued strong growth. In addition, the pipeline of potential new investment opportunities remains strong. Likely developments, future prospects and the business strategies and operations of the portfolio companies and the economic entity, and the expected results of those operations have not been detailed in this report as the directors believe the inclusion of such information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company. Business Risks The following exposures to business risk may affect the Company’s ability to deliver expected returns: Market Risk Investment returns are influenced by market factors such as changes in economic conditions, the legislative and political environment, investor sentiment, natural disasters and acts of terrorism. The investment portfolio is constructed so as to minimise market risks but those risks cannot be entirely eliminated and the investment portfolio may underperform against the broader market. Liquidity Risk There is a risk that the investment portfolio’s underlying investments or the securities may not be easily converted to cash. Even where the Company does have a significant cash holding, that cash will not necessarily be available to Shareholders. General Investee Company Risks There are risks relating to growth stage internet-related businesses in which the Company invests including: • The business model of a particular investee company may be rendered obsolete over time by competition or new technology; • Some investee companies may not perform to the level expected by the Manager and could fail to implement proposed business expansion, reduce in size or be wound up; • Some investee companies may fail to acquire new funding, whether by way of debt funding or third party equity funders; • There is no guarantee of appropriate or timely exit opportunities for the Company, and accordingly the timeframe for the realisation of returns on investments may be longer than expected. The Company uses a combination of strategies to minimise business risks, including structural and contractual protections, a clear investment strategy and Board representation on all investee companies. Environmental Regulation The operations of the Company are not subject to any particular or significant environmental regulations under a Commonwealth, State or Territory law. 12 12 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Bailador Technology Investments Limited’s Corporate Governance Arrangements The objective of the Board of Bailador Technology Investments Limited is to create and deliver long-term shareholder value through a range of diversified investments. The Board considers there to be an unambiguous and positive relationship between the creation and delivery of long-term shareholder value and high quality corporate governance. Accordingly, in pursuing its objective, the Board has committed to corporate governance arrangements that strive to foster the values of integrity, respect, trust and openness among and between Board members, management and investee companies. Bailador Technology Investments Limited and its subsidiaries operate as a single economic entity with a unified Board. As such, the Board’s corporate governance arrangements apply to all entities within the Company. Bailador Technology Investments Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Accordingly, unless stated otherwise in this document, the Board’s corporate governance arrangements comply with the recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council (including the 2010 amendments) as well as current standards of best practice for the entire financial period ended 30 June 2015. Board Composition The Board comprises 5 directors, three of whom are non-executive and meet the Board’s criteria to be considered independent. The names of the non-executive/independent directors are: • Andrew Bullock (Appointed at incorporation) • Sankar Narayan (Appointed at 9 September 2014) • Heith Mackay-Cruise (Appointed at 16 September 2014) An independent director is a non-executive director who is not a member of management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of their judgement. For a director to be considered independent, they must meet all of the following materiality thresholds: • Not hold, either directly or indirectly through a related person or entity, more than 10% of the company’s outstanding shares; • Not benefit, either directly or through a related person or entity, from any sales to or purchases from the company or any of its related entities; and • Derive no income, either directly or indirectly through a related person or entity, from a contract with the company or any of its related entities. A list of the Board’s directors for the period ended 30 June 2015, along with their biographical details, is provided in the directors’ report. The Board considers the current board composition reflects an appropriate balance between executive and non-executive directors that promotes both the generation of shareholder value and effective governance. The Board also considers that the current board composition reflects an appropriate balance of skills, expertise and experience to achieve its objective of creating and delivering long-term shareholder value. The diverse range of investments the company is involved in necessitates the Board having a correspondingly diverse range of skills, experience and expertise. As BTI invests in internet-related businesses, directors are required to have a strong working knowledge of this sector. Nevertheless, directors need to have a strong understanding of a range of other areas, including finance and contract law. To this end, the Board considers its current composition to be appropriate and has in place an active program for assessing whether individual directors and the Board as a whole have the skills and knowledge necessary to discharge their responsibilities in accordance with the Board’s governance arrangements. Details of the skills, expertise and experience of each director are provided in the directors’ report. Ethical Standards The Board is committed to its core governance values of integrity, respect, trust and openness among and between Board members, management and portfolio companies. These values are enshrined in the Board’s Code of Conduct policy which is available at www.bailador.com.au. The Code of Conduct policy requires all directors to at all times: • Act in good faith in the best interest of the Company and for a proper purpose; • Comply with the law and uphold values of good corporate citizenship; • Avoid any potential conflict of interest or duty; • Exercise a reasonable degree of care and diligence; • Not make improper use of information or position; and • Comply with the company’s Securities Trading Policy. Directors are required to be independent in judgment and ensure all reasonable steps are taken to ensure the Board’s core governance values are not compromised in any decisions the Board makes. Share Ownership and Share Trading Policy Details of directors’ individual shareholdings in Bailador Technology Investments Limited are provided in the directors’ report. The Bailador Technology Investments Limited Securities Trading Policy is set by the Board. The policy restricts directors from acting on material information until it has been released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the company’s share price. A detailed description of the Board’s policy regarding directors trading in Bailador Technology Investments Limited shares is available from the board’s Code of Conduct and Securities Trading Policy, both of which are available at www. bailador.com.au. Directors are prohibited from trading for short term speculative gain.

The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the Prospectus dated 20 November 2014 together with any public announcements made during the period. These financial statements were authorised for issue on 20th August 2015. Accounting Policies Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. a. Investments The Company has been classified under AASB 2013-5 as an Investment Entity whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns via capital appreciation and/or investment returns. As the Company has been classified as an Investment Entity, the portfolio investments have been accounted for at fair value through the profit or loss and shown as Financial Assets in the Statement of Financial Position. Investments held at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs related to acquisitions are expensed to profit and loss immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial instruments held at fair value will be accounted for at fair value, with changes to such values recognised in the profit or loss. Investments are subject to independent third party valuations on an annual basis. Investments are recognised on a trade date basis. The entity is exempt from consolidating underlying investees it controls in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. b. Fair Value The Company measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs). The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. c. Taxation The income tax expense for the period comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well as unused tax losses. No deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 25 25 Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the Period Ended 30 June 2015on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. d. Financial Instruments 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 the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Classification and Subsequent Measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost. Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss. (i) 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 company 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. (ii) Loan 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. (iii) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised. Impairment A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s). Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss immediately. At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in the profit or loss. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. e. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less. f. Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables include amounts due from government authorities and prepayments for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected (or utilised) within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. 26 26 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Notes to the Financial Statement for the Period Ended 30 June 2015 (continued)g. Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. h. Goods and Services Tax 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 (ATO). 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 on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. i. Interest Income Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. j. Accounting Period The financial report reflects the period from 4 August 2014, being the date of incorporation, to 30 June 2015. Accordingly, there are no comparatives. k. Rounding of Amounts The entity has applied the relief available to it under ASCI Class Order 98/100. Accordingly, amounts in the financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest $1,000. l. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements 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 the Company. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in Note 18 in the financial statements. m. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods Accounting standards and interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Company, together with the an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Company when adopted in future periods, are discussed below: AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018) The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting: The key changes that may affect the Company on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets. This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.

Management fees The Manager is entitled to be paid a management fee equal to 1.75% of the portfolio Net Asset Value (NAV) plus GST per annum. The management fee is calculated and paid quarterly in advance. Each quarter the average of the opening and closing NAV for the quarter is calculated and an adjustment to the pre-paid fee is made depending on whether NAV has increased or decreased during the quarter. During the period, the Company incurred $751,762 of management fees payable to the Manager. b. Reimbursement of portfolio management expenses Under the management agreement, the Manager is also entitled to be reimbursed for certain out of pocket expenses incurred in the acquisition and disposal of portfolio assets and in the management of portfolio assets.

These risks include market risk (price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company’s risk management investment policies, approved by the directors of the responsible entity, aim to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets while minimising the potential adverse effects of these risks on the Company’s financial performance. Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management 1. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company is currently exposed to the following risks as it presently holds financial instruments measured at fair value and short-term deposits: i. Price Risk The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the statement of financial position as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Company seeks to manage and constrain market risk by diversification of the investment portfolio across multiple investments and through use of structural and contractual protections in its investments such as investing in preference shares or convertible notes, requiring minority protections in investment documentation and maintaining active directorships in all investment companies. The portfolio is monitored and analysed by the Manager. The Company’s net equity exposure is set out in Note 4 of the financial statements. Sensitivity analysis The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Company’s exposures to changes in equity prices. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management consider to be reasonably possible. Period ended 30 June 2015 Profit $000 Equity $000 +/- 5% in equity investments 1,915 1,915 2. Credit Risk Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arise from the potential non-performance by counterparties that could lead to a financial loss to the Company. The Company’s objective in managing credit risk is to minimise the credit losses incurred mainly on trade and other receivables. Credit risk is managed by the Company through maintaining procedures that ensure, to the extent possible, that counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. As the Company generally does not have trade receivables, receivables are usually in the order of prepayments for particular services. The Company ensures prepayments are only made where the counterparty is reputable and can be relied on to fulfill the service. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure at the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. None of these assets are past due or considered to be impaired. The cash and cash equivalents are all held with one of Australia’s reputable financial institutions. 3. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. As the Company’s major cash outflows are the purchase of investments, the level of this is managed by the Manager. The Company also manages this risk through the following mechanisms: • preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to operating, investing and financing activities; • managing credit risk related to financial assets; • maintaining a clear exit strategy on financial assets; and • investing surplus cash only with major financial institutions. Note 18: Fair Value Measurement a. Fair Value Hierarchy AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measure can be categorised into, as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in level 2. If one or more significant inputs are no based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. 34 34 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 BAILADOR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Notes to the Financial Statement for the Period Ended 30 June 2015 (continued)b. Valuation Techniques In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Company selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability. The Company selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Company are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches: • Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. • Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value. • Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity. Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Company gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable. The Australian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (AVCAL) has prepared the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Guidelines (Valuation Guidelines). The Valuation Guidelines set out recommendations on the valuation of private equity investments which are intended to represent current best practice. The directors have referred to the Valuation Guidelines in order to determine the "fair value" of its financial assets. The "fair value" of financial assets is assumed to be the price that would be received for the financial asset in an orderly transaction between knowledgeable and willing but not anxious market participants acting at arm's length given current market conditions at the relevant measurement date. Fair value for unquoted or illiquid investments is often estimated with reference to the potential realisation price for the investment or underlying business if it were to be realised or sold in an orderly transaction at the measurement date, regardless of whether an exit in the near future is anticipated and without reference to amounts received or paid in a distressed sale. AVCAL suggests that one or more techniques should be adopted to calculate a private equity investment based on the valuer's opinion of which method or methods are considered most appropriate given the nature, facts and circumstances of the particular investment. In considering the appropriateness of each technique, AVCAL suggests the economic substance of the investment should take priority over the strict legal form. AVCAL provides guidance on a range of valuation methodologies that are commonly used to determine the value of private equity investments in the absence of an active market, including: • price of recent investments; • earnings multiples; • revenue multiples; • net asset values; • discounted cash flows of the underlying assets; • discounted cash flows of the investment; and • industry valuation benchmarks. c.
