2. IKE Analyzeexplained
12
Communications
A US$200b fibre investment super-cycle in
the U.S., expected to run for 10+ years.
Urgency to deploy networks and capture
customers.
Network deployment requires aerial make-
ready-engineering.
IKE dramatically speeds the assessment
and design process.
Utilities
Network hardening requirements, for storm
readiness on the east coast and fire
mitigation on the west coast.
A requirement to improve asset records via
digitization.
Improved asset management to underpin
continuity of power supply.
IKE dramatically speeds the assessment
and design process.
Regulatory
Joint-use mandate at federal level,
meaning pole owners are required to
provide access.
FCC mandate One-Touch-Make-Ready,
supporting faster deployment of fibre by
communications companies and a field
workflow that aligns to the IKE system.
Specific regulations in certain States, such
as GO-95 in California, placing stringent
pole record requirements on asset owners.
Several macro-market factors.
Providing a tailwind for demand for an end-to-end IKE Analyzeoffering.
Participation in the value chain.
And how the IKE Analyzesolution enables IKE to capture a far larger share of the value it creates.

3.The capital raise
16
Overview of the capital raise.
Via an underwritten placement and a share purchase plan.
▪IKE is undertaking a NZ$5 million placement (the “Placement”). It is intended that this will be underwritten by Forsyth BarrGroup
Limited.
▪The Placement price has been set at NZ$0.52 per share equating to a 4% premium to the last traded price on Thursday 23
August 2018.
▪Approximately 9.615 million shares to be issued, approximately 12.3% of current issued capital (“New Shares”).
▪New Shares will rank equally in all aspects with IKE’s existing ordinary shares from allotment.
▪IKE intends to undertake an offer of ordinary shares to existing shareholders via a share purchase plan (“SPP”) capped at $1.25
million.
17
Use of proceeds.
Capital raised is expected to enable IKE to pursue growth opportunities, adding value to shareholders.
▪Proceeds from the capital raise will bolster IKE’s working capital position for a number of potentially significant contractsthat
the business is targeting or in the initial stages of delivering, support the lumpy sales cycles associated with IKE’s core
business selling IKE4 systems, and enable investment into additional Sales and Support expenses to execute on IKE Analyze
opportunities.
▪There are several large contracts for the IKE solution that could be concluded requiring additional levels of working
capital.
▪The new IKE Analyze product has a higher initial working capital requirement than the historical business model, but
provides substantially higher potential revenue amounts (and absolute margin) per customer or project.
▪A stronger balance sheet is important for some of the large infrastructure business that IKE is selling to or is targeting, given
that IKE hosts their critical infrastructure data and asset records.
▪The equity raising is expected to deliver other ancillary benefits such as increasing IKE’s free float, providing greater liquidity
for investors and broadening the share register.
