Management Discussion And Analysis

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, the majority of IntelliCentrics Global Holdings Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries' (collectively, the "Group") revenue was generated by our annual subscriptions for medical credentialing. BioBytes™, our new telecare solution that connects patient information to a trusted medical provider, is successfully adding new Locations of Care ("LoCs"), doctors, and patients under the contract approved in September 2020 with the city of Langfang, China, through our joint venture, Sciencare. Our business strategy continues to focus on providing extreme value to the LoCs that use our technology.

As of December 31, 2020, we had 10,747 Registered LoCs, which is a 4.3% decrease as compared to June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we had 114,109 total subscribers supporting the medical industry, a 6.0% decrease compared to June 30, 2020. The decrease was mostly attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic's temporary delay of non-life-threatening patient procedures at LoCs. As LoCs reopen to perform these critical procedures, we believe the associated medical professionals will renew their subscriptions.

During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, our revenue grew to US$19.0 million compared to US$18.2 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019. During the same period, gross profit decreased to US$16.7 million from US$17.1 million, net loss was US$1.4 million compared to net profit of US$2.4 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019. The primary driver for the change in gross profit was US$1.3 million in eBadge technology depreciation.

The net loss was mainly attributable to a significant increase in amortisation and depreciation related to significant platform solution development capitalised in the prior fiscal year. Our non-capitalised research and development ("R&D") expenses increased by US$4.6 million to US$7.3 million compared to US$2.8 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019, with an increase in platform amortisation expense accounting for US$1.4 million of the variance. Total R&D expenditures, capital and non-capital, for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, were US$8.1 million, representing an increase of US$2.1 million compared to December 31, 2019. During this period, capitalised and non-capitalised enhancements released to the market are the second generation GO! eBadge technology; Link; an upgraded compliance survey capability in SEC3URE; BioBytes™, and the industry's first COVID-19 credential, along with 57 additional enhancements to the platform. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased by US$2.3 million for regional leadership, finance, professional services, and depreciation; offset by tax benefits of US$2.1 million.

OUTLOOK

We believe our unique value proposition of connecting the supply and demand sides of care on a single, extensible, trusted, end-to-end technology platform is one of the most efficient cost-effective solutions available in the market today. Our solutions work across virtually all geographical locations and perform as well on premises as they do online. As a result, we expect our growth will come from three key areas which are:

  • (a) Expansion into all types of LoCs on the platform including the home healthcare market. China has shown the fastest adoption of new healthcare technologies and is expected to continue as the world's leader in this regard. IntelliCentrics' joint venture, Sciencare, was awarded a contract by the city of Langfang (population of approximately 4.5 million). Through this contract, Sciencare is currently delivering IntelliCentrics' full end-to-end technology solution. The solution consists of collecting patient's health data remotely, transferring the information to their medical professionals who monitor the information. The system has the added innovation of integrated scheduling by either the patients or doctors. The result is a real-time, one-stop solution for patients, medical providers, and the LoCs for collecting, monitoring, and scheduling.

  • (b) Growth of the community and technology of the platform. We use our attractive, extensible, open technology platform to extend our markets and capabilities through strategic alliances and innovative partnerships. As one of the open solutions that welcome all trusted people, places and devices, our multinational platform provides markets and sales channels to partners. Each time we attract a new alliance and partnership, the value of the platform grows exponentially for everyone in our healthcare community.

  • (c) Regional leadership for geographic expansion. Dedicated commercial leadership in each region we serve creates closer relationships with customers. These close relationships will improve our market sensing capabilities, further enhancing our ability to anticipate new and leading market trends. Moreover, these regional executives will lead the Company's geographic expansion efforts, operating verticals, partnerships, and humanitarian efforts.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has delivered our service without interruption. However, mainly due to COVID-19 measures, the overall demand for healthcare has declined during the reporting period. This decline is mainly attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in unprecedented backlog of demand, as disease and chronic health issues remain constant. The main impact on the Group has been a softening of average number of subscribers during the reporting period, as subscribers tend to delay their purchase or renewal of our services until they are able to or have the need to enter the relevant LoCs under COVID-19 measures. As a result, our total number of subscribers has decreased 6% from June 30, 2020 to 114,109 as of December 31, 2020, and we expect this impact will likely continue until most healthcare organisations fully resume their normal operations. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the highest levels of regulatory and policy enforcement across the industry, further supporting the high value the Group provides all stakeholders in a long run.

Assets

Total assets of the Company have increased from US$97.1 million at June 30, 2020 to US$110.4 million at December 31, 2020. We conducted an independent valuation on our promissory note FVOCI debt instruments which concluded with no material change to the value of the asset as of December 31, 2020. During the period, the FVOCI debt instruments, increased in total value by US$0.8 million. As of December 31, 2020, as an essential medical business our current analysis shows that goodwill, technology, and promissory notes have retained their book value.

Liquidity

During the period, our current ratio improved from 1.5 at June 2020 to 2.0 as of December 2020. Our subscribers pay their fees at the beginning of their annual term providing the Company with a cash inflow and therefore there is no credit risk for accounts receivable. The Group has proactively increased its liquidity through the following actions: 1) recapitalising our borrowings from short-term to a US$30.0 million long-term facility with the first payment due in December 2021; 2) renegotiating improved payment terms with key suppliers; 3) full review of expenses and making reductions where possible; 4) 23 furloughs; and 5) net reductions of 28 full-time staff. The agility of the platform business allows additional options for cost reductions if necessary.

As the future of the COVID-19 pandemic, government actions, and financial markets reactions remain unknown, the Group and its Board cannot reliably predict the extent to which the business, its assets, and future liquidity will be impacted. At present, the Group does not see any material change to its operating capabilities, assets, liquidity, or credit.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Current Ratio

The current ratio increased to 2.0 as of December 31, 2020, from 1.5 as of June 30, 2020, due to the recapitalisation of our EnTie debt from short-term borrowings to a long-term US$30.0 million borrowing facility with US$1.5 million due in December 2021.

Working Capital

Our working capital increased significantly to US$28.5 million as of December 31, 2020, from US$21.3 million as of June 30, 2020, due to the recapitalisation of our EnTie debt from short-term borrowings to a US$30.0 million long-term borrowing facility with US$1.5 million due in December 2021.

Gearing Ratio

The increase in the gearing ratio (calculated by dividing (i) total debts by (ii) total equity) to 71.2% as of December 31, 2020, from 47.2% as of June 30, 2020, is due to the recapitalisation of our EnTie debt from short-term borrowings to a US$30.0 million long-term borrowing facility with US$1.5 million due in December 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Our Group's financing and treasury activities are centrally managed and controlled at the corporate level. The Group's overall treasury and funding policies focus on managing financial risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange risks; cost efficient funding of the Company and its subsidiaries; and yield enhancement from time-to-time when the Group's cash position allows. The Group has always adhered to prudent financial management principles, including the selection of investment securities according to the Group's treasury investment policy.

Our primary uses of capital are to satisfy our working capital needs and to fund our R&D and market acquisition initiatives. Our working capital is predominantly financed from cash generated from our operating activities, comprised of cash payments received from our annual subscription memberships and add-on services, bank borrowings, and proceeds from issuance of stock. In managing our liquidity, our management monitors and maintains a reasonable level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by our management to finance our operations and to mitigate the impacts of fluctuations in cash flows. The main sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, redeemable promissory notes, and the cash generated from operating activities.

As of December 31, 2020, the cash and cash equivalents, net current assets, and total assets less current liabilities were US$6.2 million (US$7.8 million as of June 30, 2020); US$28.5 million (US$21.3 million as of June 30, 2020); and US$81.7 million (US$50.0 million as of June 30, 2020), respectively.

EXPOSURE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN EXCHANGE RATES

We operate mainly in the U.S. with most of the transactions settled in U.S. dollars. Our management considers that our business is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange risk as we have no significant financial assets or liabilities denominated in the currencies other than US$. During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not issue any financial instruments for hedging purposes. As we monitor the growth of the Company in association with the local revenue and expenses, the management will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, restricted cash, and promissory notes are denominated in the following currencies:

INVESTMENT IN PROMISSORY NOTES AND ADVANCES TO ENTITIES

Pursuant to Rule 13.13 of the Listing Rules, a disclosure obligation arises where an advance to an entity exceeds 8% of the total assets of the Group. Pursuant to Rule 13.20 of the Listing Rules, details of the advance as defined under Rule 13.15 of the Listing Rules which remained outstanding as at June 30, 2020 are set out below.

On March 27, 2019, the Group invested in two promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of US$55.0 million issued by private enterprises, by utilising the gross proceeds raised from the IPO that are not immediately in use for the use of proceeds purposes set forth in the Prospectus. In May 2019, the Group redeemed a portion of these promissory notes at par of US$28.0 million and utilised the proceeds to invest in another two promissory notes issued by private enterprises. As at the relevant time, each purchase of the promissory notes by the Company which constituted an advance to the relevant entity under Rule 13.13 of the Listing Rules exceeds 8% under the assets ratio as defined under Rule 14.07(1) of the Listing Rules.

As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance of the promissory notes invested by the Group in 2019 amounted to US$46.7 million, inclusive of interest receivable of US$3.4 million. This asset comprises 81.8% of total current assets and 42.3% of total assets. Under IFRS, this is considered a significant concentration of the Group's assets.

The US$43.4 million principal value is diversified into four holdings: Keystone Group Ltd with the principal amount of US$10.3 million, Everglory Strategic Investment Limited with the principal amount of US$10.8 million, Durable Energy Limited with the principal amount of US$11.3 million, and Ariana Capital Investments Limited with the principal amount of US$11.0 million. All promissory notes were purchased at par value with interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum. See the announcement of the Company dated May 19, 2020 for further details of the promissory notes.

INDEBTEDNESS

Borrowings

During the reporting period, the Company's subsidiary paid off borrowings of US$25.0 million. During December 2020, new long-term borrowings of US$30 million were negotiated with one of our two lending banks, EnTie Commercial Bank. The interest rate on the borrowings ranged between 2.31%-3.61% and carries a three year term, with the subsidiary's first payment due in December 2021. Additional details of the borrowings are found in the footnotes of the financial statements.

Our borrowing balance as of December 31, 2020, was US$31.5 million with variable interest rates per annum ranged between 2.04%-3.61% (June 30, 2020, was US$21.5 million with variable interest rates per annum ranged between 3.02%-6.84%). As of December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings with fixed interest rates. The borrowings are secured by certain bank deposits and are in US$.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had the following contingent liabilities:

In April 2018, a former employee of the Group's subsidiary, IntelliCentrics, Inc., filed a lawsuit in Denton County, Texas, U.S., against IntelliCentrics, Inc. The former employee asserted certain claims: breach of employment agreement and age discrimination. As of the date of this interim report, the lawsuit is ongoing. In review of the status with our external counsel, the Group believes that there will be a positive outcome for the Group and no provision is recorded.

On June 1, 2020, Repifi Vendor Logistics, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against IntelliCentrics, Inc. and the Company in the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuit alleges that IntelliCentrics, Inc.'s visitor access and credentialing systems marketed as SEC3URE Go! infringe on U.S. Patent No. 10,304,268. Based on a preliminary review of the patent information and status with our external counsel, the Group does not infringe the patent. The Group believes that there will be a positive outcome for the Group and no provision is recorded.

Except as disclosed above, as of December 31, 2020, the Group did not have other material contingent liabilities.

RSA SCHEMES

The Company adopted the Non-Connected Persons RSA Scheme by the Board's resolutions dated April 26, 2019, and a Core Connected Persons RSA Scheme by Board resolution dated September 30, 2020. The purposes of the RSA Schemes are: (a) to provide selected participants with an opportunity to acquire a propriety interest in the Company; (b) to encourage and retain such individuals to work with the Group; (c) to provide additional incentive for them to achieve performance goals; (d) to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group; and (e) to motivate the selected participants to maximise the value of the Company for the benefits of both the selected participants and the Company, with a view to achieving objectives of increasing the value of the Company and aligning the interests of the selected participants directly to the Shareholders through ownership of Shares. The duration of both the schemes are 10 years and the RSA Schemes are overseen by the corresponding Administration Committees as determined by the Board. The function of Administration Committees is to approve the grants programs, vesting schedules, Shares purchases, and all other aspects of the RSA Schemes. The RSA Schemes may be used as a supplemental incentive, a performance-based incentive, and time-based awards. Prior to vesting, the Shares are held in the employee share trust, which is managed at Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited according to the rules of the trust. The RSA Schemes do not constitute a share option scheme or an arrangement analogous to a share option scheme for the purpose of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

As of December 31, 2020, two employees of the Group have been granted restricted share awards under the Non-Connected Persons RSA Scheme. Additionally, the Board approved on September 30, 2020 an employee performance award in the amount of US$1.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, to be paid in shares. The performance award has a retention service period and vests at 65% on June 30, 2021 and 35% on October 1, 2021. The Company estimated at December 31, 2020 that 1,272,694 shares with a total value of US$1.099 million would be granted. The shares would be granted under the Non-Connected Persons and the Connected Persons RSA Schemes. Additional information on this grant is provided under Subsequent Events.

The role of the Chairman is separate from that of the CEO to ensure a balance of power and authority. The Chairman is responsible for overseeing the functioning of the Board while the CEO is responsible for managing the Group's business. As of December 31, 2020, the Chairman of the Board is Mr. Lin Tzung-Liang, an executive Director, and the CEO of the Company is Mr. Michael James Sheehan, an executive Director.

The Chairman shall ensure that Board meetings are planned and conducted effectively, and all Directors are properly briefed on issues arising at Board meetings.

The Chairman shall also ensure the Board works effectively and discharges its responsibilities; all key and appropriate issues are discussed by the Board in a timely manner; good corporate governance practices and procedures are established; and appropriate steps are taken to provide effective communication with Shareholders and that views of Shareholders are communicated to the Board as a whole.

Independent Non-executive Directors

In compliance with Rules 3.10(1) and 3.10A of the Listing Rules, the Company has appointed three independent non-executive Directors. The Board considers that all independent non-executive Directors have appropriate and sufficient industry or finance experiences and qualifications to carry out their duties so as to protect the interests of the Shareholders. Among the three independent non-executive Directors, at least one of them has appropriate professional qualifications in accounting or related financial management expertise as required by Rule 3.10(2) of the Listing Rules.

The Company has also received a written annual confirmation from each of the independent non-executive Directors in respect of their independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Company, based on such confirmations, considers that all independent non-executive Directors are independent with reference to the guidelines stated in the Listing Rules.

Appointment and Re-election of Directors

Code provision A.4.1 of the CG Code stipulates that non-executive directors shall be appointed for a specific term, subject to re-election, whereas code provision A.4.2 states that all directors appointed to fill a casual vacancy shall be subject to election by Shareholders at the first general meeting after appointment and that every director, including those appointed for a specific term, shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.

Each of the Directors is appointed under a service contract for a term of three years which is terminable by either party by giving three months' written notice to the other party.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, all Directors are subject to retirement by rotation and re-election at AGM at least once every three years. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the Board shall hold office until the next following AGM after his appointment and they will be subject to re-election at such meeting.

The procedures and process of appointment, re-election and removal of Directors are set out in the Articles of Association. The Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing the Board composition, monitoring the appointment, re-election, and succession planning of Directors.

Responsibilities, Accountabilities and Contributions of the Board and Management

The Board is responsible for leadership and control of the Company and oversees the Group's businesses, strategic decisions and performance and is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company by directing and supervising its affairs. Directors of the Board make decisions objectively in the interests of the Company.

All Directors, including non-executive Directors and independent non-executive Directors, have brought a wide spectrum of valuable business experience, knowledge, and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning.

All Directors have full and timely access to all the information of the Company as well as the services and advice from the senior management. The Directors may, upon request, seek independent professional advice in appropriate circumstances, at the Company's expense for discharging their duties to the Company.

The Directors shall disclose to the Company details of other offices held by them and the Board regularly reviews the contribution required from each Director to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company.

The Board reserves for its decision all major matters relating to policy matters, strategies and budgets, internal control and risk management, material transactions (in particular those that may involve conflict of interests), financial information, appointment of Directors and other significant operational matters of the Company. Responsibilities relating to implementing decisions of the Board, directing, and coordinating the daily operation and management of the Company are delegated to the management.

Continuous Professional Development of Directors

Our Directors keep abreast of responsibilities as a Director of the Company and of the conduct, business activities and development of the Company. At the first occasion, every newly appointed Director receives a formal and comprehensive induction to ensure his/her appropriate understanding of the business and operations of the Company and full awareness of a directors' responsibilities and obligations under the Listing Rules and other relevant statutory requirements.

Directors participate in appropriate continuous professional development to develop and refresh their knowledge and skills to ensure that their contribution to the Board remains informed and relevant. All Directors are encouraged to attend relevant training courses at the Company's expense.

From January 1, 2020 and up to the December 31, 2020, the Company's attorneys provided periodic training sessions and in-depth learning summaries to the Directors. The sessions conducted by lawyers focused on corporate governance, directors' duties, responsibilities, and obligations under the Listing Rules.

The Board has established five Board committees, namely, the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee, the Nomination Committee, and two RSA Scheme Administration Committees for overseeing the particular aspects of the Company's affairs.

Board Diversity Policy

The Company believes that board diversity will have a substantial benefit in improving its performance. Therefore, the Company has adopted a board diversity policy to ensure that the diversity of Board members be considered from a number of perspectives. All Board appointments will be based on merit, and candidates will be considered against objective criteria, having due regard to the benefits of diversity on the Board. A summary of the board diversity policy is set out below:

The Board is of the view that having diversity in the Board will help the Company better understand and meet customer needs and maintain the Company's competitive advantages in the industry.

The Company is committing to achieving diversity and recognises and embraces the benefits of having a diverse Board to bring in innovation, fresh and broad business perspectives and enhance the decision-making process of the Board.

In considering the optimal composition of the Board, the Board shall exercise its discretion to review diversity from a wide array of perspectives, including but not limited to professional qualifications, regional and industry experience, educational and cultural background, technical and professional skills, industry knowledge and reputation, gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, language skills, length of service and time to be devoted as a director, and where possible, maintain balance from such perspectives.

  • 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

    These interim financial statements of the Group has been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities ("Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Stock Exchange"), including compliance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

    The interim financial report of the Group for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies adopted in the annual financial statements as at and for the 18-month period ended June 30, 2020, except for the accounting policy changes that are expected to be reflected in the annual financial statements as at and for the year ending June 30, 2021.

  • 2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

    The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year-to-date basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

    These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report 2019/20 issued on October 28, 2020. These interim financial statements contain condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance since the Company's Annual Report 2019/20. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

    The Group's auditor, KPMG LLP, performed a review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information and in accordance with International Standards on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. KPMG's independent review report to the Board of Directors is included on pages 31 to 32.

    Unless otherwise stated, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related footnotes are presented in the United States Dollar ("USD"), which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

  • 3 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

    In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

    The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Company's Annual Report 2019/20.

  • 4 CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The Group has adopted all new standards, amendments, and interpretations in effect for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

  • 5 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The summary of significant accounting policies are listed in detail in the Company's Annual Report 2019/20.

  • 6 SEGMENT INFORMATION

    The chief operating decision-maker considers the Group's operations are operated and managed as a single segment; accordingly, no segment information is presented. This conclusion is based on the following analysis:

    • • The Group allocates resources and assesses performance of the overall operations of its businesses and not by geographical locations or product lines.

    • • The Group mainly operates its businesses in the USA and the majority of the revenues are substantially earned from external customers attributed to the USA.

    • • A substantial majority of the non-current assets excluding restricted cash of the Group are located in the USA.

    • • No other geographical region is currently deemed to be material to be viewed separately.

10 INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense

Income tax expense is recognised at an amount determined by multiplying the profit/(loss) before tax for the interim reporting period by management's best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognised in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management's estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.

The Group's consolidated effective tax rate in respect of continuing operations for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020 was 59.7% tax benefit (6 months ended December 31, 2019: 35.7% tax expense). The change in effective income tax rate for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020 was primarily related to the following factors:

  • • During the first half of fiscal year 2021, an analysis of the US entities activities was prepared and determined that significant federal and state research and development tax credits were available. The total current and deferred income tax benefit recorded based on the research and development analysis was approximately US$1.5 million.

  • • In December 2020, the US congress passed a law which provides for full deductibility of ordinary and necessary business expenses that were paid with a forgiven or forgivable Paycheck Protection Plan loan. The Company reversed the uncertain tax position liability of approximately US$0.4 million.

11 (LOSSES)/EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic (losses)/earnings per share is calculated by dividing the (loss)/profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period (excluding the ordinary shares purchased by the Company under the RSA Schemes) to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group has no dilutive potential ordinary shares during the 6 months ended December 31, 2020 or the 6 months ended December 31, 2019, and accordingly the diluted (losses)/earnings per share equals the basic (losses)/earnings per share.

12 DIVIDENDS

No dividends have been paid or declared by the Company for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, nor for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019.

  • 13 PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

    The net book value of property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2020 is US$9.2 million compared to US$4.1 million at June 30, 2020.

    During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, the Group acquired property, plant, and equipment with a cost of US$6.4 million, consisting of US$3.4 million in leasehold improvements, US$1.9 million in subscriber equipment, and US$1.1 million in other additions, compared to US$0.6 million in subscriber equipment for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019. There were no material disposals for either reported period.

    Depreciation expense of US$1.4 million was charged to the income statement for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020 compared to nil for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019. There were no material currency translation adjustments for either reported period.

    Capital commitments

    During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, the Group entered into a contract to buy property, plant and equipment for US$0.2 million (6 months ended December 31, 2019: US$0.9 million). Delivery is expected in May, 2021.

  • 14 GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES ASSETS

    The net book value of goodwill and other intangible assets at December 31, 2020 is US$24.1 million compared to US$22.5 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of US$1.6 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020.

    During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, additions of US$2.2 million were recorded for the development of the Group's technology platform compared to US$3.7 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019.

    Amortisation expense of US$2.0 million was charged to the income statement for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020 compared to US$0.7 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019. Currency translation adjustments increased the net book value of goodwill and other intangible assets by US$1.3 million.

    The Group's impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives is based on value-in-use calculations. As of December 31, 2020, the Directors consider that there are no impairment indicators against goodwill. Accordingly, no impairment provision is required as of December 31, 2020.

  • 15 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS INCLUDING LEASE LIABILITIES

    The Group leases various offices, motor vehicles and office equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 5 years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

    During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, the Group's headquarter lease in Flower Mound, Texas commenced. The Group is required to make fixed monthly payments on this lease, and additional payments for common area maintenance, utilities, insurance and taxes. During the 6 months ended December 31, 2020, the Group recognised US$4.6 million of right-of-use assets compared to US$0.1 million of right of use assets for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019, and US$4.5 million of lease liabilities compared to US$0.1 million of lease liabilities for the 6 months ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, there were no new leases that had been executed but not yet commenced, compared to US$7.9 million at December 31, 2019.

  • 16 INTERESTS IN A JOINT VENTURE

    In February 2019, the Group contributed US$0.3 million to a joint venture of the Group, Sciencare. Sciencare was incorporated in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") with limited liability. Sciencare is a health technology business supporting the development of a healthcare credit system in PRC and is committed to providing patients with genuine and reliable healthcare services. As of December 31, 2020, the joint venture is 60.0% owned by Mr. Li Zheng and 40.0% owned by IntelliCentrics Zengine (Hong Kong) Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Group. See details of the additional capital commitment contracted, but not provided for, below.

    The Company has the following contingent liabilities:

    In April 2018, a former employee of the Group's subsidiary, IntelliCentrics, Inc., filed a lawsuit in Denton County, Texas, U.S., against IntelliCentrics, Inc. The former employee asserted certain claims: breach of employment agreement and age discrimination. As of the date of this report, the lawsuit is ongoing. In review of the status with our external counsel, the Group believes that there will be a positive outcome and no provision is recorded.

    On June 1, 2020, Repifi Vendor Logistics, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against IntelliCentrics, Inc. and IntelliCentrics Global Holdings Ltd. in the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuit alleges that IntelliCentrics' visitor access and credentialing systems marketed as SEC3URE Go! for use on the SEC3URE Ethos technology platform infringe on U.S. Patent No. 10,304,268. Based on a preliminary review of the patent information and status with our external counsel, the Group does not infringe the patent, therefore, no provision is recorded.

    As of December 31, 2020, the Group did not have any other material contingent liabilities.

27 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

27.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange rates, interest rate risk and other market risks), credit risk and liquidity risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Risk management is carried out by the senior management of the Group in close cooperation with the Board and focuses on actively securing and managing the Group's cash flows. Significant investments must be approved by the Board of Directors.

(a)Market risk

Market risk arises from the Group's use of foreign currency, interest bearing, and tradable financial instruments. It is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates (foreign exchange risk), interest rates (cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), or other market factors (other price risk such as equity price risk).

(i)Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group entities' functional currency. The functional currency of the Company and subsidiaries operating in the USA is US$ whereas functional currency of the subsidiaries operating in the United Kingdom and Canada are British Pound ("GBP") and Canadian Dollar ("CAD"), respectively.

The Group operates mainly in the USA with most of the transactions settled in US$, management considers that the business is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange risk as there are no significant financial assets or liabilities of the Group denominated in the currencies other than US$.

The foreign exchange loss for the 6 months ended December 31, 2020 was nil (December 31, 2019: foreign exchange loss of US$0.3 million) and was recognised in Other (losses)/ gains, net in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income or Loss.

27 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

27.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)

(a) Market risk (Continued)

  • (ii) Interest rate risk

    Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to interest rates is attributable to the fixed rate promissory notes issued (disclosed in Note 18), as well as through its bank balance and restricted cash.

    The Group's exposure to changes in interest rates is also attributable to its borrowings, details of which have been disclosed in Note 21. Borrowings carried at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest-rate risk whereas those carried at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest-rate risk.

    As at December 31, 2020, if the interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group's pre-tax loss/profit would have been approximately US$0.1 million (June 30, 2020: nil higher/lower), mainly attributable to the Group's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate bank balance, restricted cash, short-term bank deposits and bank borrowings.

  • (iii) Other market factors

    The Group's listed equity instruments (disclosed in Note 18) are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The effect of a 57% increase at December 31, 2020 (June 30, 2020: 60% increase) in the value of the equity instruments held at the reporting date would, all other variables held constant, have resulted in an increase in the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve and net assets of US$0.5 million (June 30, 2020: US$1.2 million). A 57% decrease in their value would, on the same basis, have decreased the fair value through other comprehensive income reserve and net assets by the same amount.

27 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

27.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)

(b) Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk primarily in relation to the promissory notes, its cash, and deposits (including term deposits) placed with banks and financial institutions, as well as other receivables. The carrying amount of each class of the above financial assets represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the corresponding class of financial assets.

The Group has a significant concentration of assets invested in unquoted non-investment grade promissory notes that are redeemable on request by delivery of a three-day redemption notice by the noteholder to the issuer (disclosed in Note 18). The Group last redeemed funds from each of the promissory notes in the first calendar quarter of 2020. The Group considers this investment to be a performing asset. The Group monitors the investment for credit deterioration, and periodically uses a third-party appraiser. To date, the Group has not reported losses on the investment and recognised no provision for expected credit losses on its debt instruments at FVOCI during the 6 months ended December 31, 2020.

The Group's cash deposits are placed with reputable financial institutions with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. There has been no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions.

Other receivables mainly comprise amounts due from related parties, deposits, and other receivables. The Group closely monitors these other receivables to ensure actions are taken to recover these balances in the case of any increase in risk of default. The Group has concluded that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Group's outstanding balance of other receivables.

The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:

  • • Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the debtor's ability to meet its obligations.

  • • Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the debtors, including changes in the payment status of debtors.

The Group uses four categories for those receivables which reflect their credit risk and how the loss provision is determined for each of those categories. These internal credit risk ratings are aligned to external credit ratings.

27 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

27.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)

(b) Credit risk (Continued)

The Group's current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

Basis for recognition ofExpected CategoryGroup definition of category credit loss provision

PerformingThe counterparty has a low risk of default and a strong capacity to meet contractual cash flow

6 months expected losses; where the expected lifetime of an asset is less than 6 months, expected losses are measured at its expected lifetimeUnderperforming Receivables for which there is a significant increase in credit risk; as significant increase in credit risk presumed if interest and/or principal repayments are more than 30 days past due

Lifetime expected lossesNon-performingInterest and/or principal repayments are more than 365 days past dueLifetime expected lossesWrite-off

Interest and/or principal repayments are more than 3 years past due and there is no reasonable expectation of recoveryAsset is written-off

The Group accounts for its credit risk by appropriately providing for expected credit losses on a timely basis. In calculating the expected credit loss rates, the Group considers historical loss rates for each category of receivable and adjusts for forward looking macroeconomic data. For the investment in promissory notes, deposits and other receivables, the historical loss rate for these receivables are low. Thus, no impairment provision was recognised for these receivables as the expected credit loss was not material during the period.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity of the business is actively monitored in relation to changes in revenue and increasing customer support costs during COVID-19. With continuity of operations plans, we have supported our customers and continued the development of the technology platform. This was achieved by utilising government programs designed for COVID-19 relief and reductions in costs.

Additionally, the Group's management continues to monitor the assets of the Group including the promissory notes investments. As the promissory note investments are located in the Asia market, in the aftermath of the pandemic quarantine, the region is operating, and indications are the assets are performing.

27 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

27.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)

(c) Liquidity risk (Continued)

The origination of the borrowings for the Group is located in Asia. During the 6-months ended December 31, 2020, the Group successfully renegotiated its US$20.0 million maturing term loans into a revolving line of credit of US$30.0 million which increased the existing liquidity. The Group aims to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents to maintain flexibility in the current business environment.

The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity grouping based on the remaining period at the end of each reporting period to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.

27 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

27.2 Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total debts divided by total equity. Total debts are calculated as total borrowings. Total equity is total equity of the Group as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position.
