CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
JCurve Solutions Limited
JCurve Solutions Limited is embarking on a sustained period of ambitious business growth. We are aiming to increase revenues,
diversify market offerings, expand geographical territory and invest in our people to increase the value provided to customers which
we expect will, in the longer-term, increase shareholder value. After two years of change and consolidation, the 2017 financial year
was the year JCurve Solutions made substantial inroads into the achievement of its strategic priorities.
The Management team and Board have been busy focusing on our three stated strategic objectives. I am pleased to report substantial
progress has been made through the financial year on each strategic objective:
1) Maximising value from the TEMS business
Over the past twelve months the Telecommunications Expense Management (TEMS) product division has consolidated and stabilised
in line with our expectations for the sector. Customer churn has slowed to the anticipated level at this stage of our products’ lifecycle,
and, our management team continue to build strong customer relationships. Our proprietary TEMS products continue to add
substantial value to over 100 customers across Australia.
During the year ending 30 June 2017 we were able to recognise $3.1 million of revenue from TEMS solutions. While this was a 28%
decrease from the $4.3 million generated in FY2016 it remained in line with forecast levels. Further internal restructures which reduced
costs ensured the TEMS division was able to generate a $1.8m profit before tax and before R&D expenditure for FY2017.
The industry is changing and has been consolidating for a number of years whereby product relevance remains for a lesser number
of specific users, so reduced revenue was expected. Over the past 6-12 months we have reinvested the profits generated by the
TEMS product division into research and development (R&D) activities which are intended to not only minimise TEMS churn but
capitalise on related expense management opportunities. JCurve Solutions remains committed to the ongoing maximisation of value
from the TEMS business which, while it has been declining year on year, remains a profitable part of the Group.
2)
Investing to grow the JCurve ERP business
This strategic initiative was expanded during FY2017 to include not only growth in JCurveERP customers and revenue but overall
ERP growth following significant developments with market leading product vendors NetSuite and MYOB.
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the ERP division grew by 36% after recognising $7.3m of revenue, a substantial increase on
the $5.3m recognised in FY2016. We are forecasting stronger growth in FY2017. The $7.3m in revenue generated helped the ERP
Division to generate a profit before tax of $1m for the year.
In August 2016, the Group signed a new Solution Provider (“SP”) Partner agreement with NetSuite allowing JCurve Solutions to sell
the NetSuite software to businesses of all sizes across Australia and New Zealand. This new agreement better enables the Group to
capitalise on the fast-growing demand for cloud ERP software. Where previously JCurve Solutions was restricted to selling and
servicing the SME market, as a five star NetSuite SP Partner, we have the ability to migrate customers from the JCurveERP edition
onto NetSuite mid-market and enterprise editions as well as selling customers the NetSuite mid-market and enterprise editions
directly.
In February 2017, we announced our new partnership with MYOB, the fastest growing cloud ERP provider in Australia and New
Zealand, further expanding the portfolio of solutions offered by JCurve Solutions. Partnering with MYOB Advanced allows our
customers a choice of their preferred cloud ERP platform to achieve more targeted product functionality for their specific needs.
On becoming a NetSuite SP Partner and MYOB Advanced Partner, the management team focused on the recruitment and training
of the sales and professional services team members to capitalise on the increasing opportunities the significantly larger target market
allowed. We now have a team of Business Development Managers and a marketing team who have generated a record pipeline of
opportunities. Closing the opportunities into sales is a priority for FY2018.
3) Diversification by leveraging our core strengths and capabilities
The Management Team and Board have investigated a number of potential targets throughout both the Asian and Australian markets.
We have incorporated a Singapore domiciled subsidiary and continue dialogue with multiple parties. While we are disappointed not
to have made an acquisition, it hasn’t been through a lack of trying. We will continue to look for the right opportunities.
From a diversification perspective progress was made in establishing six new partnerships which extended our cloud ERP offering
while the partnership with MYOB further expanded our portfolio of products available to our target market. Effective and increasing
research and development in expense management ensures we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities which may
arise.
4) Revenue recognition
Shareholders will notice through the Annual Report that JCurve Solutions has changed its revenue recognition accounting policy by
early adopting AASB 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“AASB 15”). The numbers are reflective of this change and
comparatives have been restated where applicable throughout the Annual Financial Report. The Directors believe that the early
adoption of AASB 15 will allow the Group to change its revenue recognition accounting policy to more accurately disclose the
underlying business performance and financial position of JCurve Solutions. The revised accounting policy more closely aligns with
the personnel exertion and costs incurred by JCurve Solutions and is in line with the contractual obligations of customer contracts
which are non-refundable and in the majority of contracts invoiced annually in advance.
4
JCurve Solutions Limited
The statutory profit after tax generated by JCurve Solutions for the year ending 30 June 2017 was $0.5 million (2016: $2.6m loss)
after applying the revised accounting standard for both financial reporting periods. Stripping out the impairment charge recognised
on goodwill in FY2016, the normalised EBITDA increased from $0.1m to $0.6m in FY2017.
Most importantly, JCurve Solutions continues to be supported by solid financial foundations. In FY2017 the Group was $1.1 million
cash flow positive. The Group remains debt free and held $3.5 million in cash reserves all of which ensures we are well positioned to
capitalise on a number of diversification and expansion opportunities which as outlined above we continue to evaluate.
The JCurve Solutions team continues to pride itself on a very strong corporate culture which has been a competitive advantage
through the recent recruitment drive. Our corporate culture is recognised through a number of awards we have either won or been a
finalist in over the past year. All of these further raising the market profile of the Group.
I would like to thank our employees and shareholders for their continued patience and support. The Directors look forward to
continuing the momentum which was built during the past 12 months throughout FY2018.

JCurve Solutions Limited
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Operating financial review
Financial Results for the Year
The Group recognised a profit after tax of $0.5 million for year ended 30 June 2017 (2016 (restated): $2.6 million loss).
The Group early adopted the new accounting standard, AASB 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' for the 2017 financial
year. The Group has elected to adopt the full retrospective approach, and has retrospectively applied the new revenue recognition
policy which is in accordance with AASB 15 to the comparative periods being the year ended 30 June 2016 and 1 July 2015. The
comparative figures for the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income have been restated for the year ended 30
June 2016 while the Statement of Financial Position has been restated as at 30 June 2016 and 1 July 2015. The Group has indicated
throughout this Annual Report where comparative figures have been restated. Refer to notes 24 and 25 for further details.
The Directors believe that the early adoption of AASB 15 allows JCurve Solutions to change its revenue recognition accounting policy
to more accurately disclose the underlying business performance and financial position of the Group. The revised accounting policy
more closely aligns with the personnel exertion and costs incurred by JCurve Solutions and is in line with the contractual obligations
of customer contracts which are non-refundable and in the majority of contracts invoiced annually in advance. The net result from the
adoption of AASB 15, is that revenue is recognised earlier under each customer contract.
Under the Group’s previous revenue recognition accounting policy, a loss after tax of $0.3m for the year ended 30 June 2017 (2016:
$2.8 million) was generated.
The ‘Normalised EBITDA’ for the full year ended 30 June 2017 under the new revenue recognition accounting policy was $0.6 million
(2016 (restated): $0.1 million), which has been determined as follows:
Consolidated ($)
2017

Normalised EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and represents the
profit under AAS adjusted for specific significant items. The table above summarises key items between the statutory loss after tax
and normalised EBITDA. The directors use normalised EBITDA to assess the performance of the Group.
Normalised EBITDA has not been subject to any specific review procedures by our auditor but has been extracted from the
accompanying audited financial report.
8
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
The Group’s total revenue for the year ended 30 June 2017 was $10.4 million (2016 (restated): $9.7 million), which includes revenue
from the sale of JCurveERP licenses and accompanying support and implementation revenue $7.3 million (2016 (restated): $5.3
million) and revenue from the sale of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions $3.1 million (2016 (restated): $4.3 million).
Total expenses for the full year ended 30 June 2017 were $9.9 million (2016 (restated): $12.6 million). The largest expense during
the year ended 30 June 2017 was amounts paid to employees and in respect of employees with $5 million being paid or accrued
(2016: $4.7 million).
JCurve Solutions Limited
Financial Position as at 30 June 2017
The Group had significant cash reserves as at 30 June 2017 totalling $3.5 million which increased by $1.1 million from $2.4 million
as at 30 June 2016 following strong quarter four sales by the ERP division and continuing improved debt collection processes by the
Group. Having this level of cash reserves while remaining debt free ensures that JCurve Solutions is well positioned for a period of
significant forecast growth and ideally positioned to explore acquisition opportunities including Asia which remain ongoing.
The increase in assets from $7 million as at 30 June 2016 (restated balance) to $8.9 million as at 30 June 2017, was achieved through
strong quarter four ERP Division sales which assisted the Group to be $1.1 million cash flow positive during the year.
The liabilities balance increased from $3.4 million as at 30 June 2016 (restated balance) to $4.9 million as at 30 June 2017 with a
large portion of the $3.5m in quarter four Group sales, being deferred under the Group’s new revenue recognition accounting policy.
Risk management
The Group recognises the need to pro-actively manage the risks and opportunities associated with both day-to-day operations of the
Group and its longer term strategic objectives and has developed a risk management policy.
The Board is responsible for the establishment, oversight and approval of the Group’s risk management strategy, internal compliance
and controls. The Board is also responsible for defining the “risk appetite” of the Group so that the strategic direction of the Group
can be aligned with its risk management policy.
The Group has the following risk management controls embedded in the Group’s management and reporting system:
1) A comprehensive annual insurance program;
2) A monthly risk register which is reviewed by the Executive Team and the Board;
3) Strategic and operational business plans; and
4) Annual budgeting and monthly reporting systems which enable the monitoring of performance against expected targets and
the evaluation of trends.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer through monthly Board papers, report to the Board as to whether all identified
material risks are being managed effectively across the Group.
During the year, ongoing monitoring, mitigation and reporting on material risks was conducted by Executive Management Team, the
Audit and Risk Committee and the Board and took place in accordance with the process disclosed above.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
Significant changes in the state of affairs of JCurve Solutions during the financial year were as follows:
1)
2)
3)
In August 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group signed a new Solution Provider (“SP”) Partner agreement with
NetSuite allowing JCurve Solutions to sell the NetSuite software to businesses of all sizes across Australia and New Zealand
which will allow the Company to capitalise on the fast-growing demand for cloud ERP software. The Group spent the past
six months preparing for the forecast future growth which will arise from becoming an SP Partner by investing in its people.
The Group has focused on expanding the size and capabilities of its professional services team and sales team to meet the
forecast business demands which will arise now that JCurve Solutions is a NetSuite SP Partner;
In September 2016, the Group announced that it has signed six new partnership agreements which will allow JCurve
Solutions to expand our cloud ERP offering with new integrated functionality and capability;
In February 2017, the Group announced that it had signed a partnership with MYOB which enabled JCurve Solutions to
begin selling, implementing and supporting MYOB Advanced cloud ERP software for larger businesses as an accredited
MYOB partner.
9
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Events since the end of the financial year
No significant matters or circumstances have arisen since 30 June 2017 that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect:
JCurve Solutions Limited
(1) the Group’s operations in future financial years, or
(2) the results of those operations in future financial years, or
(3) the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity in future financial years and the
expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity. Therefore, this information
has not been presented in this report.
Environmental legislation
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental legislation. The Group does not meet either the facility or the corporate
group threshold for registration under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007.
During the financial year the Group implemented work practices which were aimed at becoming a paperless company. During the
financial year printing costs across the Group were reduced by 55% following an emphasis towards being paperless.
Indemnification and insurance of Directors and Officers
The Group has agreed to indemnify all the directors and officers for any breach of laws and regulations arising from their role as a
director and officer. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.
JCurve Solutions has not indemnified or agreed to indemnify an auditor of the Group or any related body corporate against liability
incurred as an auditor.

It is the Board’s policy to consider the appointment and retirement of Non-Executive Directors on a case-by-case basis. In doing so,
the Board must take into account the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act
2001.
Clause 13.4 of the JCurve Solutions Constitution allows the Directors to at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a
casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but so that the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the
maximum number specified by the JCurve Solutions Constitution. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following
annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to
retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting. There have been no such appointments during the year.
Clause 13.2 of the JCurve Solutions Constitution requires that no director who is not the Chief Executive Officer may hold office
without re-election beyond the third AGM following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected.
10
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
JCurve Solutions Limited
Noting that Stephen Canning as Chief Executive Officer is not subject to Clause 13.2 of the Constitution, the current board was re-
elected by shareholders at the following prior AGMs:
2016: David Franks;
2015: Bruce Hatchman and Mark Jobling.
Therefore, under Clause 13.4 of the Constitution, no director is due for election under the noted time period.
However, ASX Listing Rule 14.5 states that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors each year while Clause
13.2 of the Constitution states that an election of Directors shall take place each year and that the Directors to retire at an annual
general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election. In accordance with Clause 13.2 of the Constitution,
either one of Bruce Hatchman or Mark Jobling will voluntary offer to retire and seek re-election in accordance with Clause 13.2 of
JCurve Solutions’ Constitution, having voluntarily offered to stand for re-election.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Remuneration report (Audited) (continued)
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration which the
directors and executives receive on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with an overall objective
of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality Board and executive team.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement which can be found on the Company’s website:

and Remuneration Committee and its composition and structure.
A copy of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s charter is included on the Company’s website.
3) Remuneration Structure
In accordance with best practice Corporate Governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is
separate and distinct.
Non-executive director remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides JCurve Solutions with the ability to attract and retain directors
of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
JCurve Solutions’ constitution adopted at the AGM on 9 November 2010 specifies that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive
directors shall be a maximum of $400,000 per year, and can be varied by ordinary resolution of the shareholders in a General Meeting.
There have been no changes to the constitution of JCurve Solutions since this date.
The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned amongst
directors is reviewed annually.
Non-executive directors are paid their director fees in cash, including statutory superannuation contributions. They do not receive any
bonus payments nor are they entitled to any payment upon retirement or resignation.
An Employee Share Plan was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 31 October 2013. Following approval
by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 17 November 2015, on 7 December 2015, 1,000,000 shares were issued to
both Bruce Hatchman and David Franks (2,000,000 in total) under the Employee Share Plan with payment via a non-recourse loan.
The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2017 and comparative year is detailed in Section 4, Table 1
of the Remuneration report.

The Company’s Executive remuneration structure consists of three components:
Fixed components
Variable ‘at-risk’ components
Base salary and benefits, including
superannuation.
(i)
Short-term incentives in the form of cash bonuses; and
(ii)
Long-term incentives, through participation in the JCurve Solutions
Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) and the Employee Share Plan.
(i)
Base salary and benefits
Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe
benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Group.
Each executive’s remuneration is reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The process consists of a
review of relevant comparative remuneration in the market, internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and
practices. The Nomination and Remuneration committee has access to external, independent advice if required.
(ii)
Short term incentive
The Short-term incentive (STI) scheme is designed to reward the Executive Management team for their contribution to the success
of JCurve Solutions in achieving its financial goals, as well as the individual contribution of each employee to business goals, as
determined by the Board.

JCurve Solutions Limited
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Remuneration report (Audited) (continued)
The FY2017 KPI targets for the Short-term incentive plan were determined by the Board based on a number of Key Result Areas
(KRA) which the Board believes will affect the performance of JCurve Solutions during the financial year. The KRA’s included a
leadership metric, a revenue metric, a profitability metric and a business diversification metric. The metrics are determined with
reference to JCurve Solutions strategic goals and objectives. The leadership metric is measured from independently collated feedback
scores from employees and the Directors. The revenue and profitability metric are measured based on the audited statutory financial
results. The diversification metric is determined with reference to the number of profitable acquisitions made by JCurve Solutions
during the year.
The Short-term incentive scheme takes the form of a cash bonus payable once the results for the year have been determined. For
the revenue and profitability metric, the KPI target result is based on the audited statutory information.
The potential value of the short-term incentive scheme as a proportion of each Executive’s base salary was as follows:

(*) STI bonus potential as a proportion of the Executive’s base contracted salary excluding superannuation and other benefits
(iii)
Long term incentive
The long-term incentive schemes which have been implemented over the last two financial years have been designed to align a
portion of Executive Remuneration with long term shareholder value.
The JCurve Solutions Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November
2016. On 27 June 2017 performance rights totalling 10,000,000 were issued employees under the EIP. The performance rights which
are subject to a performance condition and a service condition vest on 31 August 2019.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1:
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD
The financial position and performance of the group was particularly affected by the following factors, events and transactions during
the reporting period:
1) The adoption of AASB 15 and the resultant change to the Group’s accounting policy for revenue recognition;
2) Becoming a NetSuite Solution Provider allowing JCurve Solutions to sell the NetSuite software to businesses of all sizes
across Australia and New Zealand. The Group has focused on expanding the size and capabilities of its professional services
team and sales team to meet the forecast business demands which will arise now that JCurve Solutions is a NetSuite
Solution Provider Partner; and
3) The increasing investment in research and development which will support the ongoing maximisation of value from the
TEMS business
A more detailed outline about the Group’s performance and financial position is outlined in the Directors Report operating and financial
review on pages 8 to 9.
Some of the amounts reported for the previous period have been restated to incorporate the Group’s new accounting policy for
revenue recognition. Refer to note 25 for further details of the impact of the new accounting standard on the financial results.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT REPORTING
(a) Accounting policy
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments,
has been identified as the Board of Directors and Executive Management Team of JCurve Solutions.
(b) Description of segments
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of
the Group that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its
performance.
JCurve Solutions sells a portfolio of solutions and derives its revenues and profits from a variety of sources.
The Board and Executive Management Team for the year ended 30 June 2017, considered the business from a product perspective
and identified two reportable segments:
• ERP - ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services; and
•
TEMS - The development and marketing of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions (JTEL and Full Circle Group).
All other segments – the development business unit and group/head office are cost centres and are not reportable operating
segments. The results of these operations are included in ‘all other segments’.
The Group currently operates in one significant geographical segment being Australia and New Zealand with a very small presence
in Singapore which has not been separately disclosed.
The Group reports internally on the assets and liabilities of the Group on a consolidated basis.
No customers comprise more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue.
(c) Segment information provided to the chief operating decision maker
The segment information provided to the Board and the Executive Management Team for the reportable segments for the year ended
30 June 2017 (including the comparative period) is as follows:

(**) Reclassified from revenue for the year ending 30 June 2016
1) Accounting policy
Revenue recognition
The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step process outlined in AASB 15 which is as follows:
Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer;
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract and determine at what point they are satisfied;
Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;
Step 5: Recognise revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Following the adoption of AASB 15, the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy is that:
•
The performance obligation for the implemented ERP software is satisfied when the ERP software has been installed and is
operating materially as contractually required. Rather than recognizing the contracted revenue evenly over the contract period
which ranges from 12 to 60 months in the case of license revenue or evenly over an implementation period for service revenue
(generally 2 to 3 months), under the new accounting policy, both license and implementation revenue for the contracted period
is recognized at the point in time when the ERP software has been installed and is operating materially as contractually required.
This has the effect of bringing forward a significant proportion of license revenue and deferring a portion of the implementation
service revenue which would have been deferred under the previous accounting policy which was in accordance with AASB
118;
•
The performance obligation for providing ERP software customers with technical support is satisfied over the contracted period.
There is no change to the accounting policy for the recognition of technical support revenue which continues to be recognized
over the contract period which ranges from 12 to 60 months; and
30
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
•
The performance obligation for providing Telecommunication Expense Management solutions is satisfied over the contracted
period. There is no change to the accounting policy for the recognition of Telecommunication Expense Management solutions
revenue which continues to be recognized over the contract period which ranges from 12 to 24 months.
JCurve Solutions Limited
In addition to contracts with customers, the Group receives interest income from monies held in its bank accounts, Interest revenue
is recognised on an accruals basis based on the interest rate, deposited amount and time which lapses before the reporting period
end date.
(2)
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions: Revenue recognition
(i)
Identification of performance obligations
The Group has determined that for new ERP software sales, while licenses and implementation services are quoted as separate
line items and have separate list prices they are not distinct performance obligations as the customer is purchasing customisable
ERP software which requires not only the licenses to be provisioned but the software to be installed by a qualified JCurve Solutions
implementation consultant. As such a combined implemented ERP software performance obligation is presented.
Technical support which is purchased by ERP software customers to assist with their ongoing use of the ERP software and is
separate from the combined ERP software/implementation performance obligation.
(ii)
Satisfaction of performance obligations
The performance obligation for the implemented ERP software is satisfied at the point in time when the ERP software has been
installed and is operating materially as contractually required. It is when the customer has full access to and control of the ERP
software.
The performance obligation for providing ERP software customers with technical support remains throughout the contract period so
is satisfied over the contract period.
The performance obligation for providing Telecommunication Expense Management solutions remains throughout the contract
period so is satisfied over the contract period.

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except those that relate to the acquisition, construction or production
of qualifying assets where the borrowing cost is added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready
for their intended use or sale.
31
JCurve Solutions Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(ii) Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease
payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of
Financial Position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly
attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the general policy on borrowing costs - refer
Note 4 (i).
Finance leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
(iii) Employee expenses
• Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date.
They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave
are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
•
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit
method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of
service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with
terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(2) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions: Recognition of subscription costs of sales
The recognition of the license cost associated with each JCurveERP software subscription is estimated on a gross margins basis and
is amortised over the life of the contract in a manner consistent with the method for recognising the revenue.

(1) Accounting policy
(i)
Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted
by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
• when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that
is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or
loss; or
• when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures,
and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will
not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused
tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and
the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
• when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset
or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting
profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
• when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint
ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(ii) Tax Consolidation Legislation
JCurve Solutions and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. Current
and deferred tax amounts are accounted for in each individual entity as if each entity continued to act as a taxpayer on its own.
JCurve Solutions Limited recognises its own current and deferred tax amounts and those current tax liabilities, current tax assets and
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits and unused tax losses which it has assumed from its controlled entities within the
tax consolidated Group.
Assets or Liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts payable or
receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Any difference between the amounts receivable or payable under the tax
funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) controlled entities in the tax consolidated Group.
(iii) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) except:
• when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the
GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
•
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the
Statement of Financial Position.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
JCurve Solutions Limited
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing
and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(2) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions: Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences as management considers that it is probable that sufficient
future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Significant management judgement is required to determine
the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits over
future years together with future tax planning strategies.
(3) Unrecognised deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
The balance of carried forward tax losses that have not been recognised in the Financial Statements amount to $1,563,791 (2016:
$1,359,063). The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current legislation. Deferred tax assets totaling
$469,137 (2016: $469,137) have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future tax profits will
be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits thereof.
There are no unrecognized deferred tax liabilities.
(4) Tax Consolidation
JCurve Solutions and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries implemented the tax consolidation legislation from 1 January
2014. The accounting policy for the implementation of the tax consolidation legislation is set out in note 5 (1)(ii).
The entities in the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax sharing agreement on adoption of the tax consolidation legislation
which, in the opinion of the directors, limits the joint and several liability of the controlled entities in the case of a default by the head
entity, JCurve Solutions.
JCurve Solutions and its controlled entities have entered into a tax funding agreement under which the 100% owned Australian
resident subsidiaries compensate JCurve Solutions for all current tax payable assumed and are compensated by JCurve Solutions
for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets which relate to unused tax credits or unused tax losses that, under the tax
consolidation legislation, are transferred to JCurve Solutions. These amounts are determined by reference to the amounts which are
recognised in the financial statements of each entity in the tax consolidated group.
The amounts receivable/ payable under the tax funding agreement are due on receipt of the funding advice from JCurve Solutions,
which is issued as soon as practicable after the financial year end. JCurve Solutions may also require payment of interim funding
amounts to assist with obligations to pay tax instalments. These amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or
payables.

Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the
cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred.
(ii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of the lease or the estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the
straight-line method. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation and amortisation:
Plant and equipment
Leasehold improvements
2 – 14 years
1 – 6 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year
end.
39
JCurve Solutions Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(iii) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being
estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit
to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The
asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income in
the cost of sales line item. However, because land and buildings are measured at revalued amounts, impairment losses on land and
buildings are treated as a revaluation decrement.
(iv) De-recognition and disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected
from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing (see Note 18).
An impairment loss of $2,980,493 was recognised in the comparative period. The net assets as at 30 June 2015 included goodwill
for The Full Circle Group Pty Ltd $2,623,097 and Phoneware Pty Ltd $357,396. These assets were considered to be fully impaired
and have a carrying value of $nil as at 30 June 2016, due to reduced future cash inflows as a result of changes in market forces.
40
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Further explanation of the factors that lead to the impairment charge in the comparative period refer to Note 18.
JCurve Solutions Limited
(1) Accounting policy
(i)
Intangible assets – Licenses and other intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset
acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets,
excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which the
expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over
the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation
period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are
accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The
amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the
function of the intangible asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.
Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting period to
determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from
indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis.
(ii) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination
over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial
recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of
the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.
Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated:
•
•
represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes;
and
is not larger than a segment based on either the Group’s primary or the Group’s secondary reporting format
determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units), to
which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than
the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating
units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is
measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
(2) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
(i)
Impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives
The Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This
requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite
useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and
intangibles with indefinite useful lives are discussed in Note 18.
(ii)
Identification of intangible assets on acquisition
The definition of an intangible asset requires an intangible asset to be identifiable to distinguish it from goodwill. Goodwill recognised
in a business combination is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business
combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. The future economic benefits may result from synergy
between the identifiable assets acquired or from assets that, individually, do not qualify for recognition in the financial statements.
41
JCurve Solutions Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
An asset is identifiable if it either:
•
•
is separable, i.e. is capable of being separated or divided from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged,
either individually or together with a related contract, identifiable asset or liability, regardless of whether the entity intends to do
so; or
arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferable or separable from the entity or
from other rights and obligations.

respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment
is not due within 12 months.

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement
is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is
presented in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the end of the reporting period.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks
specific to the liability. The current pre-tax rate used for discounting purposes is 12% (2016: 12%).
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share-based payments, whereby
employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using the Black- Scholes model, further details
of which are given in Note 26.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of
the shares of JCurve Solutions Limited (market conditions) if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the
performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the
award (the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to
which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in
the determination of fair value at grant date. The Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income charge or credit for a
period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market
condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified.
In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement,
or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised
for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a
replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original
award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see
Note 6).
(2) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions: Share based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black - Scholes model, using the
assumptions as detailed in the notes to the financial statements.
NOTE 17:
CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events.
The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain
assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:
(1) Revenue recognition - Identification of performance obligations – refer to note 3;
(2) Revenue recognition – Satisfaction of performance obligations – refer to note 3;
(3) Impairment of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives – refer to note 12;
(4) Identification of intangible assets on acquisition – refer to note 12;
(5) Share-based payment transactions – refer to note 16;
(6) Recovery of deferred tax assets – refer to note 5; and
(7) Recognition of subscription costs of sales – refer to note 4

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 18:
IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES WITH INDEFINITE LIVES
Goodwill acquired through business combinations was historically allocated to 3 individual cash generating units (CGU) for
impairment testing as follows:
• Phoneware - TEMS;
• JCurve Business Software - ERP;
• The Full Circle Group - TEMS.
The goodwill attributed to the Phoneware and The Full Circle Group CGU’s was fully impaired during the year ending 30 June 2015.
JCurve Business Software - ERP
The JCurve Business Software intangible asset balance relates to the recoverable amount of the amount paid for the purchase of the
exclusive reseller agreement with NetSuite. This Agreement provides JCurve Solutions with exclusive selling rights for the JCurve
ERP edition of the NetSuite business software for an indefinite period. The NetSuite agreement provides that in the event of
cancellation of the Agreement, the customers of JCurve Solutions would be assigned to NetSuite and NetSuite would be required to
pay JCurve Solutions a royalty of 30% of the future revenue stream to NetSuite for a 3-year period. On the basis of current trends,
JCurve Business Software revenue is increasing year on year, and should this trend continue, it is unlikely that there will be impairment
in future periods.
The recoverable amount of any royalty payment from NetSuite has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash
flow projections covering a 3-year period. The discount rate applied to the contractual royalty cash flow projections is 6.25% (2016:
6.25%). Based on these value in use calculations, there is no impairment for the year ended 30 June 2017 (2016: nil).
The carrying value of the NetSuite License remains $2,302,857.
If the discount rate applied was 10% higher the recoverable amount would decrease by $34,617 and if the discount rate applied was
10% lower the recoverable amount would increase by $34,840. If the license churn projections applied was 10% higher than the
amount forecast, the recoverable amount would decrease by $43,550 and if the license churn projections applied was 10% lower the
recoverable amount would increase by $43,954.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(1) Capital risk management
Capital risk is managed and monitored by liaising with banks and communicating with shareholders. JCurve Solutions considers new
government legislation and monitors the market place by canvassing information from stockbrokers and investors.
When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal
returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the
lowest cost of capital available to the entity. Management adjust the capital structure as necessary to take advantage of favourable
costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends
to be paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

(2) Financial Risk Management
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement
and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity
instrument are outlined in Note 17 to the financial statements.
The Group’s principal financial liabilities are trade payables and unearned income which arise during the course of operations. The
Group has various financial assets such as trade receivables and cash and short-term deposits, which arise directly from its
operations.
The Group’s policy throughout 2017 has remained that no trading in derivatives shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the
Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees
on policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised on the following pages.

(*) Refer to notes 24 and 25 for details regarding the restatement as a result of a change in accounting policy.
For all financial instruments, the net fair value approximates their carrying value.
No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised forms.
Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is fixed at intervals of less than one year. The other financial instruments
of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative
instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant
throughout the reporting period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key
management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the change in interest rates.
47
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
JCurve Solutions Limited
At reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s
net loss before tax would increase by $17,149 and decrease by $8,433 respectively (2016: increase by $12,768 and decrease by
$8,864). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate cash deposits.
(4) Price Risk – Equity and Commodity
The Group's exposure to commodity and equity securities price risk is minimal.
(5) Foreign Currency Risk
The Group has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as the Group trades mainly within Australia. New Zealand customers settle
their outstanding invoices in Australian dollars.
(6) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. The
Group's exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying
amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note.
The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group's policy
to securitise its trade and other receivables.
It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures including an
assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry reputation. Risk limits are set for each
individual customer in accordance with parameters set by the board. These risk limits are regularly monitored.
Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant.

balances will be received when due.
(7) Liquidity Risk Management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who have built an appropriate liquidity risk
management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management
requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring
forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(1) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial
report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB). JCurve Solutions Limited is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements.
The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all years unless otherwise stated. The financial report is for
the consolidated entity consisting of JCurve Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries.
The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar.
(2) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
(i)
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Group has elected to early adopt AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers as issued by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board from 1 July 2016 under the full retrospective approach. In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15 the
new rules have been adopted retrospectively and comparatives for the 2016 financial year have been restated.
49
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
JCurve Solutions Limited
AASB 15 outlines a single comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and replaces the
revenue recognition requirements outlined in AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts.
Refer to note 24 below for further details on the impact of the change in accounting policy.
(3) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted
In the year ended 30 June 2017, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the
AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period. The Directors have determined that there
is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to
Group accounting policies.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June reporting period
and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations
which are most relevant to the Group are set out below.
(i)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9
(December 2010), AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [Part E Financial Instruments] and
AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules
for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.
The Group has assessed that there will be no impact on the Group’s future financial reporting.
AASB 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. The Group will adopt the new standard from 1
July 2018.
(ii)
AASB 16 Leases
The AASB has issued AASB 16 which will replace AASB 117 Leases and a number of interpretations. AASB 16 will provide a
comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and
lessors.
The new standard will have three possible main changes on the Group’s accounting for leases:
(1) Enhanced guidance on identifying whether a contract contains a lease;
(2) A completely new leases accounting model for lessees that require lessees to recognise all leases on balance sheet except
for short-term leases and leases of low value assets; and
(3) Enhanced financial statement disclosures.
Lessor accounting will not significantly change under AASB 16.
The Group is currently assessing the effects of applying the new standard on the Group’s financial statements. There may be an
impact on the Group’s current property leases. At this stage, the Group is not able to estimate what the effect on the Group’s financial
statements apart from there being a requirement for additional disclosures. The Group will make more detailed assessments of the
effect over the next twelve months. AASB 16 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. The Group
does not expect to adopt the new standard before 1 July 2019.
(4) Statement of Compliance
The financial report was authorised for issue on 22 August 2017.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and
notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
(5) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of JCurve Solutions Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30
June each year (the Group).
50
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
JCurve Solutions Limited
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent
accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and
losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control
exists where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its
activities.
The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting
involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for
the period from their acquisition.
NOTE 24: CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As outlined in Note 23 (2) above, the Group has adopted AASB 15 from 1 July 2016, which resulted in changes in accounting policies
and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The main changes are explained below with the quantitative
impact outlined in note 25.
The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step process outlined in AASB 15 which is as follows:
Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract and determine at what point they are satisfied
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
Step 5: Recognise revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Group’s main performance obligations have been identified as follows:
1) The implementation of ERP software;
2) Providing ERP software customers with technical support; and
3) Providing Telecommunication Expense Management solutions
Before the early adoption of AASB 15, the Group’s accounting policy for revenue recognition, which was in accordance with AASB
118, recognised revenue over the contract term and proportionally as implementation services were delivered in line with the risks
and rewards of the contract.
Following the adoption of AASB 15, the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy is that:
1) The performance obligation for the implemented ERP software is satisfied when the ERP software has been installed and
is operating materially as contractually required. Rather than recognizing the contracted revenue evenly over the contract
period which ranges from 12 to 60 months in the case of license revenue or evenly over an implementation period for service
revenue (generally 2 to 3 months), under the new accounting policy, both license and implementation revenue for the
contracted period is recognized at the point in time when the ERP software has been installed and is operating materially
as contractually required. This has the effect of bringing forward a significant proportion of license revenue and deferring a
portion of the implementation service revenue which would have been deferred under the previous accounting policy which
was in accordance with AASB 118.
2) The performance obligation for providing ERP software customers with technical support is satisfied over the contracted
period. There is no change to the accounting policy for the recognition of technical support revenue which continues to be
recognized over the contract period which ranges from 12 to 60 months.
3) The performance obligation for providing Telecommunication Expense Management solutions is satisfied over the
contracted period. There is no change to the accounting policy for the recognition of Telecommunication Expense
Management solutions revenue which continues to be recognized over the contract period which ranges from 12 to 24
months.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTE 25:
THE IMPACT OF EARLY ADOPTING AASB 15
As outlined in note 23, the Group has elected to adopt the full retrospective approach to the adoption of AASB 15. The adjustment to
each of the affected financial years under this election is outlined below:
The adjustment to the consolidated opening statement of financial position as a result of adopting AASB 15 as compared to AASB
118 is an increase in equity of $600,351. The specific financial statement line items affected by the change to the accounting policy
for revenue recognition is as follows:

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the
time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
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,

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
