Chairman Message

Dear fellow shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors I am pleased to present the Jcurve Solutions Limited Annual Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2023 (FY2023).

The  Company  delivered  solid  financial  results  in  FY2023  despite  a  slight  decrease  in  year-on-year  sales.  Revenue 
pleasingly reached a new record of $16.4m and underlying business earnings remained strong with an EBITDA of $1.6m 
for FY2023.   The Company reported an overall net loss after tax of $0.3m, this included tax expense of $0.6m primarily 
from the generation of taxable income in Australia and the derecognition of carried forward tax losses in Singapore and 
the Philippines.

Cash at bank was at $4.3m as at 30 June 2023. This balance, as well as the company being debt free, saw your Board 
declare a fully franked special dividend of 0.175 cents per ordinary share in July 2023 which was subsequently paid to 
shareholders in September 2023. Supported by cash earnings growth the Board is committed to prioritising future 
capital management initiatives. These of course may be in the form of dividends and or buybacks.

Despite significant work undertaken on potential acquisition opportunities in FY2023, no acquisitions were made. Our 
commitment is to only make acquisitions that add value, are reasonably priced, not acquisitions at any cost and those 
that have synergies with our existing business operations.

In  June  we  announced  the  resignation  of  Stephen  Canning  after  8  years  with  the  Company  as  CEO  and  the                                             
appointment  of  Chris  King  to  the  CEO  role.  Chris  commenced  with  Jcurve  in  August  2023  and  has  hit  the  ground 
running. Chris has a substantial change agenda and is focused on driving accelerated growth in recurring revenue and 
cash earnings.

Finally, thank you to our shareholders, employees, customers and partners for your ongoing support. With a 
reinvigorated team and focus, we look forward to a successful year ahead.

Mark Jobling 
Chairman

Director’s Report (continued)

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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 profit/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. The normalised EBITDA result outlined for the comparative period 
has been adjusted to ensure consistency in the reporting between periods.

The Group’s total revenue for the year ended 30 June 2023 was $16.4 million (2022: $15.3 million), which includes:

-

-

-
-

-

revenue from the sale of JCurveERP/NetSuiteERP licenses and support and implementation revenue in                                
Australia of $11.4 million (2022: $10.2 million);
revenue from the sale of NetSuiteERP licenses and support and implementation revenue in Asia $2.9 million 
(2022: $2.6 million);
revenue from the sale of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions $1.0 million (2022: $1.3 million); 
revenue from the sale of digital marketing solutions from the Dygiq business division $0.7 million (2022: $0.9 
million); and 
revenue from the sale and implementation of the Quicta solution $0.3 million (2022: $0.2 million).

Total expenses including depreciation for the full year ended 30 June 2023 was $14.1 million (2022: $13.1 million). The 
largest expense during the year ended 30 June 2023 was employment expense with $8.5 million (2022: $8.5 million).

Financial Position as at 30 June 2023

The Group had a cash balance of $4.3 million as at 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: $5.1 million).

Jcurve Solutions remains in a strong financial position, supported by annual recurring revenue streams exceeding 
$10 million, a cash balance of $4.3 million as at 30 June 2023 and no external debt.

The decrease in assets from $16.9 million as at 30 June 2022 to $13.9 million as at 30 June 2023, is primarily the 
result of weaker trading conditions, the continued amortisation of group owned intangible assets and the 
derecognition of carried forward tax losses.

The liabilities balance decreased from $11.9 million as at 30 June 2022 to $9.2 million as at 30 June 2023 as a result 
of a further year of lease payments under the Group’s office leases expiring, timing differences on the payment of 
creditors (a significantly higher in the proportion was outstanding as at 30 June 2022 compared to 30 June 2023). 
Also contributing to the decrease was a lower levels of unearned revenue following the successful completion of a 
number of large ERP implementation projects in June 2023.

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. This program is facilitated by an external broker; 
2)     A monthly risk register which is reviewed by the Executive Management Team and reported to the Board as 
           part of the Board meeting packs;
3)     Annual Strategic and operational business plans; and 
4)     Annual budgeting and forecasting and monthly forecasting and system evaluation 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.

Retirement, election and continuation in office of Directors

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. 

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. 

The current board was re-elected by shareholders at the following prior AGMs:
2022: Bruce Hatchman and Mark Jobling; 2021: Graham Baillie and Martin Green

Therefore, under clause 13.4 of the Jcurve Solutions Constitution either Graham Baillie and Martin Green are due for 
election at the Next Annual General Meeting.

Proceedings on behalf of the company

No person has applied for leave of the Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or intervene in any 
proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all 
or any part of those proceedings. The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

Auditor Independence and Non-Audit Services

Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, to provide the 
directors of the Company with an Independence Declaration in relation to the audit of the annual report. This 
Independence Declaration is set out on page 21 and forms part of this Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 
2023.

Non-Audit Services

There were no non-audit related activities carried out by the Company’s auditors during the year ended 30 June 2023.

Corporate Governance Statement

In fulfilling its obligations and responsibilities to its various stakeholders, the Board is a strong advocate of corporate 
governance. The Board supports a system of corporate governance to ensure that the management of Jcurve 
Solutions is conducted to maximise shareholder wealth in a proper and ethical manner.

3)     Remuneration Structure

In accordance with best practice Corporate Governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive

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.

The remuneration structure for the directors from 1 July 2022 was as follows:

(i)      Chairman: $99,000 per annum;
(ii)    Resident non-executive directors: $72,930 including compulsory superannuation per annum;

Section 4, Table 1 of the Remuneration report.

Executive remuneration

The Company’s Executive remuneration structure consists of three components:

Fixed components

Variable ‘at-risk’ components

(i)   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).

(i)    Base salary and benefits

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including 
cash, superannuation/CPF 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. 

A new short term incentive bonus scheme was implemented from 1 July 2022 for the Executive Management Team.

The FY2023 KPI targets for the Short-term incentive plan were determined by the Board based on Key Result Areas 
(KRA’s) which the Board believes will affect the performance of Jcurve Solutions during the financial year. The KRA 
for the year ended 30 June 2023 was a total revenue metric while for the year ended 30 June 2022 multiple KRA’s and 
metrics were set. The metric/s are determined with reference to Jcurve Solutions strategic goals and objectives and 
is measured based on the audited statutory financial results. For FY2023 the KRA targets were not met and no 
bonuses were payable. For FY2022 the KRA metrics were partially met. 

This short-term incentive scheme takes the form of a cash bonus payable.

The potential value of the short-term incentive schemes as a proportion of each Executive’s base salary was as 
follows:

(iii)  Long-term incentive

Jcurve Solutions Limited

The long-term equity incentive plan is 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 and reapproved on 19 November 2019. There were no new performance rights issued during 
the year ended 30 June 2023.

The following performance rights expired during the year ended 30 June 2023 after the share price performance

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1:  Significant Changes In The Current Reporting Period

Jcurve Solutions Limited

The financial position and performance of the group was particularly affected by the following factors, events and 
transactions during the reporting period:

      Strong customer retention rates from the established Australia and New Zealand ERP division;

1)
2)           Stabilising customer churn from our Telecommunication Expense Management solutions;
3)           Further development of the Quicta Service Management Platform and slower than expected progress in 
                 building up a recurring customer base;

A more detailed outline about the Group’s performance and financial position is included in the Directors Report 
operating and financial review on page 8.  

Note 2:  Segment Reporting

(a)  Accounting policy

(b)  Description of segments

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.

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 2023, considered the business from a 
product perspective and identified five reportable segments:

•       ERP – ANZ: ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services sold to 
           Australian and New Zealand customers; and
•       ERP – Asia: ERP cloud-based Business Management solutions and associated consulting services sold to 
           Southeast Asia customers; and
•       TEMS – The continued sale of Telecommunications Expense Management Solutions (JTEL, Phoneware and Full 
           Circle Group) to Australian customers; and
•       Quicta – The development and sale of service management and scheduling software; and
•       Dygiq – Providing digital marketing services to customers in South East Asia.

The group/head office is a cost centre and is not a reportable operating segment. The results of its operations are 
included in the unallocated column in the segment information below. 

The Group operates in two geographical segments being Australasia (Australia and New Zealand) along with 
Southeast Asia.

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 recognised revenue in FY2023.

(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;
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

Jcurve Solutions Limited

(i)  Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions - JCurveERP and NetSuite (Australasia and South East Asia)

JCurveERP Edition – implementation of JCurveERP and JCurveERP software licenses

The Group has contracts with some customers to implement and organise the transfer of JCurveERP licenses. The 
licensed software is required to be substantially customised to enable it to interface with the customer’s existing 
software systems. As the JCurveERP licensed software is significantly modified and customised as part of the 
implementation process, which can only be performed by a Group consultant as the JCurveERP is unique to the 
Group, it is not a distinct performance obligation. Therefore, there is only one performance obligation, being the 
sale of a functional and integrated software system. The transaction price, which is at a fixed price, is defined in the 
contract. Revenue is recognised over the period of the project’s implementation as the Group’s performance 
enhances an asset – being the existing software system – that the customer controls. Revenue is recognised using 
an input method, based on the number of labour hours incurred on the project to date as a percentage of total 
expected contracted hours, to the extent that the Group can reasonably measure its progress towards complete 
satisfaction of the performance obligation. 

Where JCurveERP licenses to the JCurveERP are renewed or additional licenses sold after the implementation is 
complete, revenue is recognised at the point in time at which the license is granted to the customer with the 
contract start date specified on the customers renewal contract.

NetSuite Edition – Reseller of software licenses

The Group is an authorised reseller of NetSuite software licenses. The Group does not obtain control of these 
licenses and as such, is the agent in these arrangements. The NetSuite edition is not unique to the Group and the 
implementation can be performed by multiple parties, making the license commission earned and implementation 
process separate performance obligations. Revenue for the NetSuite edition licenses, is recognised at a net 
amount, being the commission earned, at the point in time when the customers NetSuite the license has been 
configured and operating as contractually agreed which is at the point in time that the implementation is go live 
ready.

Service Revenue

The performance obligation for NetSuite edition implementations and service upsells for both JCurveERP and 
NetSuite edition customers is the delivery of contracted service hours. The performance obligation is satisfied 
progressively as the services are delivered to the customer. The total contract revenue is fixed and in line with a 
signed contract. Revenue is recognised using an input method, based on the number of labour hours incurred on 
the project to date as a percentage of total expected contracted hours.

Support

Customers have the option to purchase support 
services at their stand-alone selling prices, for a fixed 
period of time. These additional support services, if 
purchased, are a separate performance obligation to 
the implementation and licenses and are recognised 
over time as the customer receives and consumes the 
benefit. Revenue is recognised using an output 
method, being the total days elapsed relative to the 
total contracted support period.

The Group has contracts with customers where its 
performance obligation is to provide telephone 
expense management services. The transaction price, 
which is at a fixed price, is defined in the contract. 
Revenue is recognised over time as the customer 
receives and consumes the benefit. Revenue is 
recognised using an output method, being total days 
elapsed relative to the total contracted period.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

(ii)  Telecommunications expense management solutions

Jcurve Solutions Limited

The Group has contracts with customers where its performance obligation is to provide telephone expense                           
management services. The transaction price, which is at a fixed price, is defined in the contract. Revenue is 
recognised over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefit. Revenue is recognised using an output 
method, being total days elapsed relative to the total contracted period. 

(iii)  Quicta solutions

Subscription License Revenue

The Group offers Software-as-a-Service through its proprietary software, Quicta. Revenue is recognised over time 
as the customer receives and consumes the benefit through its use of the Quicta platform. Revenue is recognised 
using an output method, being total days elapsed relative to the total contracted period of use.

In respect of all sales, where consideration is received upfront, it is initially recognised as a contract liability and only 
recognised in revenue as or when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Service Revenue

The performance obligation for Quicta customers is the delivery of contracted service hours. The performance 
obligation is satisfied progressively as the services are delivered to the customer. The total contract revenue is 
fixed and in line with a signed contract. Revenue is recognised using an input method, based on the number of 
labour hours incurred on the project to date as a percentage of total expected contracted hours.

(iv)   Digital marketing services

Service Revenue

The Group has contracts with customers where its performance obligation is to provide digital marketing and event 
based projects. The transaction price, which is at a fixed price, is defined in the contract. Revenue is recognised 
over time as the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity 
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue is recognised using an output 
method, being the total days elapsed relative to the total contracted project period.

In addition to contracts with customers, the Group receives interest income from monies held in its bank accounts, 
Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis based on the interest rate, deposited amount and time which 
lapses before the reporting period end date.

(i)    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.

(ii)   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.

(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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

(ii)   Other taxes

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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.

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 
$2,554,559 (2022: $1,413,014 unrecognised). The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire 
under current legislation. Deferred tax assets totalling $466,738 (2022: $245,941) have not been recognised in 
respect of these items at this stage because it is not probable that future tax profits will be available against which 
the Group can utilise the benefits thereof.

There are no unrecognised deferred tax liabilities.

(4)   Tax Consolidation

Jcurve Solutions and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have 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) and below. 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. 

The Australian 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 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.

35

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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.

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. 

Jcurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd is a tax resident entity of Singapore and current and deferred tax amounts are 
accounted for the company based on Jcurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd as a taxpayer on its own in Singapore.

Jcurve Solutions Philippines Inc. is a tax resident entity of the Philippines and current and deferred tax amounts are 
accounted for the company based on Jcurve Solutions Philippines Inc. as a taxpayer on its own in the Philippines.

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are 
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.  

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents 
as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

            goods and rendering of services. Refer to note 22(6) for ageing of receivables.

(1)    Accounting policy

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an 
provision for Expected Credit Loss.

The Group’s accounting policy includes the recognition of credit losses in the provision for expected credit loss 
under an expected credit loss (ECL) model. ECLs are a probability weighted estimates of credit losses which are 
discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Credit losses are measured as the present value of 
all cash shortfalls.

(2)   Provision for expected credit loss reconciliation

The provision for expected credit loss was $77,897 (2022: $78,632). The movement in the provision for expected 
credit loss is as follows:

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          2 – 4 years  

Leasehold improvements         1 – 6 years 

The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each 
financial year end.

(iii)  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.

(i)     License intangible asset

The licenses intangible asset reflects the carrying value of the unimpaired amount paid for the purchase of the 
exclusive reseller agreement with NetSuite for the JCurveERP edition of the NetSuite software. This Agreement with 
NetSuite provides Jcurve Solutions with the exclusive selling rights for the JCurveERP edition of the NetSuite 
business software for an indefinite period and was the basis on which Interfleet Pty Ltd immediately became a 
five-star NetSuite partner on becoming a NetSuite Solution Provider in August 2016. The agreement was the basis 
from which the Company has built its ERP practice. The NetSuite JCurveERP reseller 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 which along with an increasing level of license commission and service revenue which is generated 
from the sale of NetSuite editions indicates that it is unlikely that there will be an impairment in future periods.

(ii)   License intangible asset

On 9 July 2021, Jcurve Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of Jcurve Solutions Limited, purchased the 
business assets of Rapid E-Suite Pte Ltd’s Thailand operations, a NetSuite Solution Provider in Thailand. The 
purchase price was allocated to customer contracts and customer relationships. The customer contracts intangible 
asset was assessed as having a useful live of 2 years and the customer relationships intangible assets was assessed 
as having a useful live of 7 years, both of which reflects the period in which the intangible assets are being amortised 
over on a straight-line basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

(1)    Accounting policy

(i)     Intangible assets – Licenses and other intangible assets

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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.

(2)   Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

(i)  Impairment of intangibles with    
     indefinite useful lives

(ii)  Useful life of NetSuite ERP 
      Licenses – Australia

(iii)  Useful life of the Quicta 
       Platform

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 Group has determined that the 
useful life of the ERP Licenses in 
Australia for NetSuite is 10 years. 
The ERP Licenses is to be amor-
tised on a straight-line basis over 
the ten year period.

The Group has determined that the 
useful life of the Quicta Platform is 
5 years with the useful life to be 
amortised on a straight-line basis 
over the five-year period.

(3)   Impairment testing of intangible assets with indefinite lives 

(i)  Goodwill

The goodwill balance was recognised on the acquisition of the Spectrum business in December 2018 and is allocated 
to the ERP Asia CGU.

The carrying value of the Goodwill balance increased to $261,535 after revaluation from exchange rate movements. 
The carrying value of the Asia ERP Cash Generating Unit includes goodwill, the NetSuite customer contracts 
intangible asset, the customer relationships intangible asset in addition to an allocation of group non-current assets.

The recoverable amount of the Asia ERP Cash Generating Unit has been determined based on a value in use 
calculation using cash flow projections covering a 5-year period. The discount rate applied to the value in use 
calculations was 13.5% (2022: 12.5%). A long-term growth rate of 5% has been assumed as has a terminal value. 
Based on these value in use calculations, there is no impairment for the year ended 30 June 2023 (2022: nil).

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

Jcurve Solutions Limited

Based on the value in use calculations prepared, even in the instance of a higher discount rate (at 16%) or lower long 
term growth rate (at 3%), the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit exceeds the carrying value and an 
impairment expense would not be warranted.

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, 
which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or 
before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except 
where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing 
the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset 
at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to 
impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset for all short-term leases with terms of 12 months or 
less and leases of low-value assets. Where applicable, lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit and 
loss as incurred. In FY2023, $2,027 of lease payments were directly expensed to profit and loss.

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the 
present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate 
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease 
payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on 
an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option 
when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The 
variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are 
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate

used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability 
is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying 
amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

The Group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for all short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and 
leases of low-value assets. Where applicable, lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as 
incurred. In FY2023, $2,207 (FY2022 $4,000) of lease payments were directly expensed to profit and loss.

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 2.73% 
(2022: 2.73%).

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).

47

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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 27(i).

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 21:  Critical Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its 
judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management 
bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including 
expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting 
accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

Judgement is required as to whether revenue is recognised over time or at a point in time.

Further details on the policy and factors impacting the Group’s revenue streams is outlined in note 3.

(2)   Impairment of intangibles

(i)    Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 

The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible 
assets at each reporting date by evaluating internal and external factors which impact a cash generating unit that 
may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is 
determined. This involves value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Refer to note 13 for further details.

(ii)  Impairment of goodwill 

The Group assesses impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets annually by performing a 
value in use calculation, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions.

Note 22:  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.

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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 above in the relevant note.

The Group’s principal financial liabilities are trade payables and lease liabilities 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 2023 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

For all financial instruments, the net fair value approximates their carrying value.

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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 its financial 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.

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 profit before tax 
would increase by $22,105 and decrease by $10,165 
respectively (2022: increase by $26,385 and 
decrease by $4,942). 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 is exposed to foreign currency risk from movements in the Australian dollar relative to Singapore Dollar, 
Philippine Peso and US Dollar. Foreign currency risk arises from future transactions and recognizing assets and 
liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency.

The Group seeks to limit its exposure to foreign currency risk, by maintaining bank accounts with DBS Bank 
denominated in Singapore Dollars and Union Bank denominated in Philippines Peso and US Dollars, so that income 
received from Asian customers is deposited and held in the overseas currency without the need to translate in 
multiple currencies.

For the year ended 30 June 2023, if the average exchange rate for AUD:SGD had been 10% lower or higher and all 
other variables were held constant, the Group’s net profit before tax would decrease by $54,989 and increase by 
$44,991 respectively (2022: decrease by $177,433 and increase by $145,172).

For the year ended 30 June 2023, if the average exchange rate for AUD:PHP had been 10% lower or higher and all 
other variables were held constant, the Group’s net profit before tax would decrease by $105,188 and increase by 
$86,063 respectively (2022: decrease by $104,163 and increase by $85,224).

For the year ended 30 June 2023, if the average exchange rate for AUD:THB had been 10% lower or higher and all 
other variables were held constant, the Group’s net profit before tax would increase by $66,784 and decrease by 
$54,641 respectively.

(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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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. 

At 30 June 2023, the ageing analysis of trade receivables is as follows:

The receivables which are past due but not considered to have suffered an expected credit loss was $263,821 
(2022: $454,145).

The provision for expected credit loss as at 30 June 2023 is $77,897 (2022: $78,632). The provision for expected 
credit loss included an estimate for ECL of $77,897 (2022: $71,523).

Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is 
expected that these other 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.

Note 23:  Contingencies

(1)    Contingent Liabilities

The Group does not have any contingent liabilities.

Note 24:  Events Occurring After The Reporting Period

On the 27th of July 2023, the Directors of Jcurve Solutions declared a special fully franked dividend of 0.175 cents per 
ordinary share. The total value of the dividend to be paid is $574,601.18. The record date of the dividend was the 14th 
of August 2023 with a payment date of the 5th of September 2023. The dividend has not been recognised as a 
liability as at 30 June 2023.

Since the end of the financial year, no other matters or circumstances have arisen that significantly affect, or may 
significantly affect:

(a)     the Group’s operations in future financial years, or

(b)    the results of those operations in future financial years, or

(c.)    the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Note 25:  Commitments

(1)    Remuneration Commitments

(2)   Lease Commitments

There are no commitments for the payment of 
salaries and other remuneration under 
long-term employment contracts in existence 
at the reporting date.

(i)    Accounting policy - Leases

Lease commitments are outlined in note 17.

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the 
present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate 
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease 
payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on 
an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase 
option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. 
The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are 
remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate 
used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease 
liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the 
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Note 26:  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.

54

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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)   Changes in accounting policies from new accounting 

The Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised accounting standards and interpretations issued by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board for annual reporting periods beginning or after 1 July 2022. It has been 
determined that none of the new accounting standards and interpretations adopted have a material impact on the 
Group’s financial performance, position or disclosure.

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, several new but not yet effective Standards and 
amendments to existing Standards and Interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these Standards 
or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Group. Management anticipates that all 
relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the 
pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been 
disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

(3)   Statement of Compliancestandards and interpretations

The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 August 2023.

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).

(4)   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 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.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 
2001, including: 

a  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its performance

Key audit matters  

Jcurve Solutions Limited

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.  

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Revenue Recognition (Note 3) 

Revenue of $16,397,138 has been recognised during 
the year ended 30 June 2023. 

The Group recognises revenue across six separate 
revenue streams: ERP implementation and project 
revenue, ERP licence revenue, technical support 
revenue, telecommunication expense management 
solutions revenue, Quicta software implementation 
revenue, and digital marketing services revenue. The 
revenue recognition process and policies differ for each 
stream depending on the nature of the products and 
services provided to the customer in accordance with 
AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 
Estimation and judgement are used regarding the 
timing and amount of revenue to be recognised.  

This area is a key audit matter due to the material 
nature of the balance, the volume of transactions, and 
the importance of the revenue balance to the current 
stakeholders. 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•  Assessing the revenue recognition policies for 

appropriateness and compliance with AASB 15, 
including reviewing their consistency with the prior 
period; 

•  Testing a sample of revenue transactions for each 

revenue stream by tracing through to sales contracts 
and service agreements, assessing the identification 
of performance obligations, and evaluating the timing 
of revenue recognition;  

•  Testing a sample of deferred revenue balances by 
tracing through to sales contracts and service 
agreements, assessing the identification of 
performance obligations, and evaluating the timing of 
revenue recognition;  

•  Assessing whether revenue has been recognised in 
accordance with revenue recognition policies; and 

•  Assessing the adequacy of related disclosures in the 

financial statements. 

Recoverable amount of intangible assets (Note 13)   

As at 30 June 2023, the Group’s intangible assets of 
$2,586,545 consist of licences, software, goodwill, 
customer relationships, and NetSuite customer 
contracts. 

AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires entities to 
assess at the end of each reporting period whether 
there is any indication that an asset or CGU may be 
impaired. The entity shall estimate the asset’s or 
CGU’s recoverable amount if any indication exists. 

AASB 136 requires that intangible assets with indefinite 
useful life and intangible assets not yet available for 
use must be tested for impairment annually. In 
addition, AASB 136 requires goodwill acquired in a 
business combination be allocated to each of the 
Group’s cash-generating units (CGU). Each CGU to 
which goodwill has been allocated must be tested for 
impairment annually. 

Management has performed an analysis of the 
impairment indicators under AASB 136 and as result 
performed impairment tests by estimating their 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•  Obtaining management's assessment of impairment 

indicators under AASB 136 and reviewing for 
reasonableness;   

•  Enquiring with management to obtain and document 
an understanding of their processes and controls 
related to the assessment of impairment, including 
identification of CGUs, allocation of assets, and the 
calculation of the recoverable amount for each CGU; 

•  Obtaining and evaluating the value in use models 
against the requirements of AASB 136 and: 

−  Testing the mathematical accuracy; 

−  Evaluating management’s ability to perform 
accurate estimates by comparing historical 
forecasting to actual results; 

−  Testing forecast cash inflows and outflows to be 

derived by the CGU’s assets; and 

−  Agreeing discount rates applied to forecast 

future cash flows;

recoverable amount using a value-in-use method for 
the following CGUs; ERP – AU, ERP Asia, and Digiq.  

Many judgements and estimates are involved in 
determining the recoverable amount. These include, 
but are not limited to, forecasting future cash flows and 
applying an appropriate discount rate. Due to the 
required judgements and estimates, we have 
considered this a key audit matter. 

•  Performing sensitivity analysis on the significant 

inputs and assumptions made by management in 
preparing the calculation; and 

•  Assessing the adequacy of financial report 

disclosures. 

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023, but does not include the financial report and our 
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 Group’s ability 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 have 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
