3 Directors Report Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity consisting of Ocean Guardian Holdings Limited (formerly SeaChange Technology Holdings Pty Ltd) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2017. Throughout the report, the consolidated entity is referred to as the group. Directors The names of the directors in office at any time during the period and until the date of this report are: Alan J Broome AM Lindsay N Lyon James Wakim Amanda L Wilson Directors have been in office since the start of the period to the date of this report unless otherwise stated. Principal activities During the period the principal continuing activities of the group consisted of the design, sale and marketing of the Shark Shield shark deterrent device. There were no significant changes in these activities during the period. Dividends Ocean Guardian Holdings Limited (formerly SeaChange Technology Holdings Pty Ltd) There were no dividends paid or declared during the period. The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend in respect of the period ended 31 December 2017. The company does not have any dividend reinvestment plan in operation. Results The net loss attributable to members of the company for the half-year ended 31 December 2017 amounted to $894,762 (31 December 2016: net profit attributable to members $237,772). Review of operations During the period ended 31 December 2017, the company raised capital from new and existing investors in order to fund product development of a new long-range shark deterrents and invest in improvements in customer service, product reliability and sales & marketing. The half-year results were impacted by the following: The company s FREEDOM7 product was accredited as the only product eligible for the Western Australian government s $200 shark deterrent rebate which resulted in a significant increase in demand for this product in the May/June 2017 period. This increase in forecasted demand resulted in the company being out of FREEDOM7 inventory for the first two months of FY18. In addition, a design modification to the FREEDOM7 initiated prior to the introduction of the WA government rebate and the updated version had a long manufacturing lead time which also resulted in the company running out of stock prior to Christmas. The pre- Christmas orders were delivered post New Year and revenue on those sales has been recognised in January 2018.
4 Sales of the company s FREEDOM+Surf product have not reach the level expected as stock sold to our wholesaler Ocean & Earth in the last financial year was still being cleared through retailers during this half-year. Despite having the same technology as the FREEDOM7, the WA government required independent testing of the FREEDOM+Surf before it would be accredited for the $200 rebate. The company commissioned the independent testing and the report is expected to be completed in the second half of FY2018. Having received advice that, it was not tax effective for the CEO to receive equity in lieu of contracted entitlements, the unpaid entitlements were recorded in the accounts during the half-year and will be paid in cash as cash flow permits. A part-time marketing manager was appointed to implement marketing initiatives and commence the re-branding to Ocean Guardian. New customer service and channel sales management roles were also established as part of the company s growth strategy leading towards and IPO in 2H FY18. Significant changes in the state of affairs $140,000 in share capital was contributed during the period by existing shareholders, including $70,000 in directors fees owing that were settled in shares. The company signed a mandate with a corporate adviser to raise seed capital by way of convertible notes with the intention of listing the company on the ASX. $960,000 in convertible notes funding was received as at 31 December 2017 which was used to appoint an operations manager in January to improve stock management and commence new product development. There have been no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the company that occurred during the financial period not otherwise disclosed in this report or the financial statements. Events since the end of the financial period The company has received a further $220,000 in convertible note funding bringing the total raised to $1,180,000. On 29 January 2018, the shareholders resolved to change the company type from proprietary to public and change the company name to Ocean Guardian Holdings Limited which took effect on 6 March 2018. The company has appointed an auditor and is proceeding through due diligence in order to file a prospectus with ASIC for an initial public offering and is intending to apply for listing on the ASX. Likely developments and expected results of operations Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this report, there are no likely developments in the operations of the company that were not finalised at the date of this report.

10 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 31 December 2017 Schedule 5 NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Ocean Guardian Holdings Limited (formerly SeaChange Technology Holdings Pty Ltd) is an unlisted public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements of the company are as at and for the period ended 31 December 2017. A description of the nature of the company s activities is included in the Directors Report which does not form part of this financial report. (a) Basis of preparation The half-year financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ), including Australian interpretations, and the Corporations Act 2001. It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2017. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the consolidated entity and are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year and those of the corresponding interim reporting period. The half-year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. For the purposes of preparing the half-year condensed financial statements, the half-year had been treated as a discrete reporting period. The company has adopted all of the measurement and recognition requirements of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the operations and effective for the current reporting period. The adoption of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the company s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported in the current or prior periods. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets and financial instruments for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. Ocean Guardian Holdings Limited (formerly SeaChange Technology Holdings Pty Ltd) is a company limited by shares. The financial report is presented in Australian currency. The company is a forprofit entity. Going Concern The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
1 Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ended 31 December 2017 Schedule 5 The company incurred a net loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2017 of $894,762 and a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $509,954. Net assets of the company as at 31 December 2017 were a deficiency of $(53,469) (30 June 2017 $686,928). The company s ability to continue as a going concern and pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent on the company raising additional capital via any means available to it in a timely manner in order to fund the company s ongoing activities. The company is in the process of preparing a prospectus in order to raise $5,000,000 through an initial public offering. The directors have reviewed the business outlook and the cash flow forecasts after taking into account the above matters and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as the directors believe that the company will achieve the capital raising set out above and be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. Should the Company be unable to raise capital as required to fund the company s operating ongoing activities there would be conditions that may cause significant doubt on the company s ability to continue as a going concern. The accounts do not include any adjustments to the classification nor carrying value of recorded assets and liabilities. The interim condensed financial statements are therefore prepared on the assumption that the company is a going concern and will continue its operations for the foreseeable future.
