1.1 Back ground In August 2010, the Company received a takeover offer from Mooter Media Ltd which was subsequently recommended by the Company’s Board on the basis that a successful takeover by Mooter would allow ESN to seek re-instatement of ESN shares on the ASX and to enable the Company to raise capital in order to fund further development of its proprietary education-based software and applications. To this end, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Furneaux Equity Ltd on 18 October 2010 for a 180-day loan facility of up to $4.15 million.
In April 2011, ESN re-acquired the vPublisher business (which was previously in liquidation). vPublisher was relaunched in July 2011; the same month that ESN successfully completed its recapitalisation via a rights issue and placement that raised in excess of $4 million. The company’s shares later resumed trading on the ASX on 25 July 2011.
1.2 Funding The cash balance as at 30 June 2012 was $0.4 million. The balance sheet is debt free, with the Company, in July 2011, having repaid in full the $1.95 million loan obtained from Furneaux Equity Ltd
1.3 Capital structure There are currently 985.3 million ordinary shares on issue, with a further ~8.2 million unlisted options on issue in two tranches, and all exercisable at 1c per share. At present, the unlisted options on issue are all out-of-the-money.
