    The Consolidated Entity's recent acquisition of Phone Name Marketing Pty Ltd (and associated entities) has been recognised largely as an intangible asset and was, in part, funded by a $4.2 million bank facility. Therefore, whilst it is revenue generating, both the customer base and over 2,200 phone Names have been treated as intangible and excluded in net tangible assets.

    The previous period result relates to Spirit Telecom (Australia) Pty Ltd and not the listed entity.
