THE AGENCY GROUP AUSTRALIA LTD ABN 52 118 913 232 And its Controlled Entities Interim Financial Report December 2018 DIRECTORS REPORT Your Directors present their report on The Agency Group Ltd (“the Company”) formerly Ausnet Financial Services Limited, and its controlled entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) for the half- year ended 31 December 2018.

Directors

The names of Directors in office at any time during or since the end of the half- year are: • Paul Niardone • John Kolenda • Adam Davey • Andrew Jensen (Appointed 18 February 2019) • Matthew Lahood (Appointed 17 January 2019)

  • Philip Re (Resigned 18 February 2019)

Directors have been in office since the start of the half- year unless otherwise stated.

Operating and financial review

Financial Review The Consolidated Entity continues to achieve strong exponential revenue growth, delivering net revenue from continuing operations of $10,479,073 for the six-month period ending 31 December 2018, representing a 52 per cent increase on the previous comparative period 31 December 2017 revenue (HY2017: $6,877,278). This also represents 62% of the FY18 Annual revenues.

Commissions for the Consolidated Entity for the six-month period totaled $7,011,868, representing a 46 per cent increase on the previous comparative period 31 December 2017 revenue (HY2017: $4,798,945). This also represents a 67% of the previous financial year’s total commissions (FY2018: $10,528,108).

While the Consolidated Entity reported a loss before tax of $2,110,461 (Dec 2017: $2,148,445 loss), it is important to note that more than $615,000 in one-off costs associated with legal expenses and corporate advisory were incurred in relation to the acquisition of Top Level Pty Ltd.

Revenue and commission growth will be maintained during the upcoming period and significantly enhanced as a result of the acquisition of Top Level Real Estate Pty Ltd which settled post 31 December on 11 January 2019. • Loss before tax slightly down to $1.97 million (HY2018: $2.11 million loss) • One off costs of $615,000 associated with legal expenses associated with acquisitions and corporate advisory.

THE AGENCY GROUP AUSTRALIA LTD ABN 52 118 913 232 And its Controlled Entities Interim Financial Report December 2018 DIRECTORS REPORT (Continued)

  • Normalised loss of $1.34 million highlights reduced cash burn rate and is a further marked improvement operationally on previous years. The Company expects the WA operations (real estate, mortgage, and settlement businesses) to be cash flow positive from the start of the 2019.
  • Costs associated with the Company’s aggressive expansion nationally with the acquisition of Top Level didn’t impact on the Company’s loss for the six-month period.
  • Cash and cash equivalents at $1.2 million as at 31 December 2018 ($1 million as at 30 June 2018).
  • Net liabilities of the Consolidated Entity were $1.4 million at 31 December 2018, compared to net assets of $0.4 million at 30 June 2018. This was due to the delay in the finalisation of the Top Level acquisition which affected the delay in the capital raising and does not include the value of the loan book of $4 million which is off balance sheet.
  • The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Subsequent Events

Top Level Real Estate Pty Ltd

On 17 January 2019, The Agency completed its acquisition and settlement of Top Level Pty Ltd (“Top Level”), by The Agency’s wholly-owned subsidiary Ausnet Real Estate Services Pty Ltd, after all conditions precedent to the transaction were satisfied. The total cost of the acquisition was $5,000,000.

As announced on 12 February 2018, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ausnet Real Estate Services Pty Ltd, entered into an amended and restated option agreement with Top Level Real Estate Pty Ltd and Top Level’s Majority Shareholders for Ausnet to acquire all of the Top Level Shares held by the Majority Shareholders and offer to acquire all of the Top Level Shares held by the Minority Shareholders. It was a condition precedent to Settlement that the Minority Shareholders accept Ausnet’s offer to acquire their Top Level Shares.

As set out in the Company’s ASX announcement of 12 February 2018, Ausnet has exercised the option to acquire all of the Majority Shareholders’ Top Level Shares. On 19 September 2018 the Company announced that it had executed a further Amended and Restated Option Agreement

DIRECTORS REPORT (Continued) Subsequent Events

Completion of the acquisition occurred after the following conditions were satisfied.

  • Consideration Shares issued to majority and minority shareholders of Top Level Real Estate Pty Ltd;
  • Conversion of Top Level unrelated and related party loans totaling $5,000,000 from debt to equity;
  • Successful capital raise of $8,400,000;
  • 840,000 Ordinary Shares issued on 11 January 2019 to Lead Manager; and
  • Election of Mr. Matthew Lahood to the Board on 17 January 2019.

Full details of the acquisition were contained in a Notice of Meeting held on 28 November 2018. Accompanying this notice was an Independent expert’s report. Addendum dated 13 November 2018 was also issued that contained an updated Pro forma statement of financial position.

The initial accounting for the acquisition of Top Level Pty Ltd has not been provisionally determined at the end of the reporting period. At the date of this interim financial report, the necessary identification and fair value assessment of the separately identifiable intangible assets acquired have not been finalized due to the close proximity to the reporting date the company is unable to provide accurate information at that point in time.

As part of the post-acquisition settlement process, the Company has re-negotiated the existing Top Level Macquarie Bank financing, with a new debt facility executed, for a term extending from 17 January 2019 to July 2019. The facility has a first ranking charge over all the consolidated group companies

Vicus Residential Pty Ltd

The Agency completed the acquisition of Vicus Residential – the residential sales and management division of The Vicus Property Group – completed on 11 January 2019 with settlement of 2,666,667 shares and a $75,000 cash payment as payment for all of Vicus Residential’s issued shares after receiving shareholder approval on 15 November 2018 (refer to ASX announcement 15 November 2018). The total acquisition cost is $875,000.

The initial accounting for the acquisition of Vicus Residential has not been provisionally determined at the end of the reporting period. At the date of this interim report, the necessary identification and fair value assessment of the separately identifiable intangible assets acquired have not been finalised due to the close proximity to the reporting date the company is unable to provide accurate information at that point in time.

THE AGENCY GROUP AUSTRALIA LTD ABN 52 118 913 232 And its Controlled Entities Interim Financial Report December 2018 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards including AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

These half-year financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and therefore cannot be expect to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the company as the full financial statements. Accordingly, this interim financial report is to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statement for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by Ausnet Financial Services Limited during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Company’s last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Company for the purposes of preparation of these interim financial statements.

b) Going concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Consolidated Entity has incurred a loss after tax for the period ended 31 December 2018 of $1,958,009 (Dec 2017: loss of $1,991,606). The loss for 31 December 2018 includes one off transaction costs directly related to the acquisition of Top Level of $615,000. In addition the consolidated entity experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $290,862 (Dec 2017: cash outflows of $1,183,613) and there was a working capital deficit of $6,629,683 at 31 December 2018 (30 June 2018: $4,656,797 deficit).

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is principally dependent on the following: • The Consolidated Entity improves profitability of operations across all business units; • As disclosed in Note 6, the Consolidated Entity acquired Top Level Pty Ltd subsequent to the reporting period adding revenue and profitability to the group; • Re-negotiation of the Macquarie Bank debt facility;

12

THE AGENCY GROUP AUSTRALIA LTD ABN 52 118 913 232 And its Controlled Entities Interim Financial Report December 2018

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS • Raising additional finance through its leverage on its rent roll assets; • Further re-negotiation or conversion of related party loans and subordinated debt totaling $5,4M; and • Continued support from creditors and suppliers.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern. In the event the above matters are not achieved, the Consolidated Entity will be required to raise funds for working capital from debt or equity sources.

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing this financial report. In particular: • As at the date of this report, the Company has re-negotiated the existing Top Level Macquarie Bank debt facilities, with a new facility of $12.65M which extends from 17 January 2019 to July 2019. The facility has a first ranking charge over all the assets of the consolidated group companies; • In January a capital raise was successfully completed to raise $8,400,000; • Re-negotiated an extension of the repayment date on an existing $1,350,000 loan until June 2019; • Included in the forecast is an improvement in operations of core business units, which management expect to generate profitable operations within the next 12 months; • The payment in full of all ATO debt liabilities; • The continued support of the Company’s creditors. At the date of the report there were no outstanding statutory demands made against the company; and • Managing cash flows in line with available funds.

If the Company is unsuccessful in any of the above, it will be required to immediately raise funds for its working capital requirements and settlement of its debt instruments from debt or equity sources.

Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Consolidated Entity’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Consolidated Entity’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.

Should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Consolidated Entity be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

NOTE 6: SEGMENT REPORTING

Description of reportable segments The Consolidated Entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources

The Consolidated Entity is now managed primarily on the basis of service offerings as the diversification of the Consolidated Entity’s operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Types of services by segment

(i) Real Estate and Property Services This represents revenue received for provision of real estate services including selling of property, settlement agent services and property management

(ii) Mortgage Origination Services This represents revenue received for provision of mortgage broking services.

(iii) Other (includes financial planning, head office etc) This represents non-reportable segments including head office, financial planning, property investments and other services.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments a. Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Consolidated Entity.

b. Intersegment transactions An internally determined transfer price is set for all intersegment sales. This price is reset quarterly and is based on what would be realised in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm’s length. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements. Corporate charges are allocated to reporting segments based on the segments’ overall proportion of revenue generation within the Consolidated Entity. The Board of Directors believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries. Intersegment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If intersegment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

On 17 January 2019, The Agency completed its acquisition and settlement of Top Level Pty Ltd (“Top Level”), by The Agency’s wholly-owned subsidiary Ausnet Real Estate Services Pty Ltd, after all conditions precedent to the transaction were satisfied. The total cost of the acquisition was $5,000,000.

As announced on 12 February 2018, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ausnet Real Estate Services Pty Ltd, entered into an amended and restated option agreement with Top Level Real Estate Pty Ltd and Top Level’s Majority Shareholders for Ausnet to acquire all of the Top Level Shares held by the Majority Shareholders and offer to acquire all of the Top Level Shares held by the Minority Shareholders. It was a condition precedent to Settlement that the Minority Shareholders accept Ausnet’s offer to acquire their Top Level Shares.

As set out in the Company’s ASX announcement of 12 February 2018, Ausnet has exercised the option to acquire all of the Majority Shareholders’ Top Level Shares. On 19 September 2018 the Company announced that it had executed a further Amended and Restated Option Agreement

Top Level is a proprietary company limited by shares incorporated in New South Wales. Top Level is a real estate business which is currently focused on residential real estate sales in New South Wales.

Completion of the acquisition occurred after the following conditions were satisfied.

  • Consideration Shares issued to majority and minority shareholders of Top Level Real Estate Pty Ltd;
  • Conversion of Top Level unrelated and related party loans totaling $5,000,000 from debt to equity;
  • Successful capital raise of $8,400,000;

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of The Agency Group Australia Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying financial report of The Agency Group Australia Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled during the period.

Directors Responsibility 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 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of the Consolidated Entity, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of The Agency Group Australia Limited (Continued)

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report of The Agency Group Australia Limited and Controlled Entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the period ended on that date; and

b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1(b) in the financial report, which indicates that the Consolidated Entity incurred a net loss after tax of $1,958,009 during the half year ended 31 December 2018. As stated in Note 1(b), these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(b), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
