4 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN 03 August 2015 Dear Investor, On behalf of the Board of Directors of ASPECT Studios, it is my pleasure to invite you to become a security holder of HR Tools Pty Ltd (Company). The Company has been established to provide instantaneous turnkey software to support service based businesses achieving their goals and objectives. The Company is seeking to raise a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of $1 million under the Offer. WHY HR TOOLS? Based on our observations of the Human Resources Software Market, we believe that now is an excellent time to enter the cloud based business software market. Like any emerging market, there are huge opportunities for growth as companies across a range of industry sectors begin to modernise their aging business support systems (BSS) platforms. Businesses that have been using BSS platforms for over eight years now need to modernise these platforms to support changes in ways of workings and new developments in human resource management. Cloud based platforms such as HR Tools are attractive to corporations for a range of different reasons, there are low implementation costs as companies do not require additional hardware servers or network infrastructure to support them. As HR Tools software is subscription based service there is a slight OPEX increase to an organisation but no up-front CAPEX requirement. All third party costs usually associated with the implementation of Business Support Systems are reduced significantly. There is no requirement for scheduled backups, and there is no requirement to hire support staff. Apart from training (which is also included), the only cost for an organisation choosing HR Tools for their business is the initial setup costs. The board and I believe that now is an excellent time to offer this investment opportunity to investors, as we continue to grow the HR Tools platform and continue to enjoy success as companies choose us as their business support system. The offer for investment we are presenting is an attractive opportunity to gain a foothold in an emerging growth sector at the ground level. The scalability of the HR Tools suite of products enables true financial benefit to be realised for investors as the business goes global and begins supporting companies all over the world. We are excited about realising this opportunity and generating strong returns for investors. I encourage you to read this Information Memorandum in full and carefully consider the information contained in this Information Memorandum before making your investment decision. The Information Memorandum contains detailed information about the Company, the Securities and the risks associated with an investment in the Company. In addition, you should consider any investment in the Company as a long term proposition (at least seven years). I am excited about the outlook for the Company and look forward to welcoming you as a security holder. Yours faithfully, Chris Razzell Director 02 HR TOOLS PTY LTD INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY HR Tools has been trading for 12 months under the ASPECT Studios Company name ASPECT Studios Pty Ltd; however ASPECT Studios registered a Victorian Business Name (ASPECT HR Tools) which it has used for branding and the registration of the relevant domain names. Over the last financial year, the bulk of the work program for the business has been focussed on the development and commercialisation of its suite of cloud based software products. The business was conceived by the Chief Operating Officer of ASPECT Studios (Daniel McDonald). Initially ASPECT Studios were seeking a software platform to support staff annual reviews, as products on the market were quite costly, ASPECT Studios chose to develop their own software platform to support their international staff base of over 100 employees. Once the review platform was completed, ASPECT Studios were faced with the challenges of creating organisation goals for employees without their being ability to measure employee performance. To solve this problem ASPECT Studios developed a survey tool which could be customisable and sent internally to employees and externally to customers. The results of these surveys provided measurable scoring metrics that could be used in staff reviews and company dashboards. The company has been marketed within Australia and now has companies paying a monthly subscription fee for access to the HR Tools suite. Development on the platform has continued and three new applications have been added to the suite to support HR Management, Project Administration and employee time and attendance. ASPECT Studios has invested $75,000 in the business to date and is committed to investing a further $80,000 in the business. The goal of this Information Memorandum is to raise a minimum of $500,000 to complete the commercialisation of the platform and support the establishment of a workplace, administration staff, management staff and fund the forward marketing and development program of the business globally. The applications when completed were intuitive and easy to use; as a result there was great participation and use across the employee base within ASPECT Studios. The developed products were so good, Daniel McDonald and ASPECT s group CEO decided that the platform could be easily adjusted to make it multi-company capable. When completed, ASPECT Studios made the products commercially available. Each product was branded independently and available within the online menu under its respective brand name, HR Tools. 03 HR TOOLS PTY LTD INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

18 MY-SURVEY UNDERSTANDING YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH SATISFACTION SURVEYS It s no big secret that the power in a customer-business relationship usually lies with the customer or client. They decide which products or services they want to buy or whether to go to a competitor, and the customer service they experience from a company often plays a key role in those decisions. Therefore, it is more than worthwhile to take the time and find out what customers have to say about your business, staff and services. Customer satisfaction surveys allow companies to view the unfiltered impressions, whether positive or not-so-positive, about the service the customer experiences. Such in-depth data provides the important information that is integral to improving products and services. Survey results also give companies the opportunity to gain a better understanding of their customers themselves and their changing needs and perceptions.

Link employees to your surveys to measure performance against particular staff, the power of My-Survey gives your organisation real time data on your company and your staff from your customer s perspective.

23 MARKET ANALYSIS THE SLEEPY LITTLE HR SOFTWARE MARKET IS ON FIRE The HR Administration and accounting industry is a booming global sector. Recently SAP acquired SuccessFactors for $3.4 billion (nearly 10X revenues) and Oracle acquired Taleo (leading software provider for corporate recruiting) for $1.9 billion (around 5.3X revenues). THERE ARE THREE HUGE TRENDS TAKING PLACE. First, corporate software is now moving to the cloud. The $15 billion+ marketplace for core human resources, payroll, and talent management software are being totally revamped. Companies are starting to replace all this core infrastructure software (much of which is years old) with new cloud products and the big players (Oracle and SAP) are buying their way into this market as demonstrated with these recent acquisitions. Third, the availability of cloud-based software as in the case of the HR Tools platform is an enabler for companies to migrate away from old clunky server based systems and embraces the HR Tools integrated suite without a significant capital expenditure or operational expenditure increase to their bottom line. The market for HR software is huge. Every company that hires and pays people needs it. (That means every organization in the world.) According to Forbes, if you run an HR software company, your day in the sun is here. If you re a buyer of HR software, the time couldn t be better to replace your old systems. And if you re an investor, get into this space now. It s still early. Second, the market for integrated talent management software has matured. Over the last ten years most companies purchased a wide variety of tools to help with recruiting, performance management, training management, compensation management, workforce planning, leave management and project administration. HR Tools has the goal of integrating all these platforms into a series of Talent Management Suites, (excluding recruitment at this time) and through robust marketing practices we hope to encourage companies to replace all the older disparate systems with the HR Tools integrated platform. Of course small to mid-sized companies can gain the benefits of HR Tools suite as well (in fact it is and will always be free for up to 10 users). 21 HR TOOLS PTY LTD INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

26 MARKET ANALYSIS GROWTH IN THE TALENT MANAGEMENT MARKET According to Forbes the online talent management market grew by around 20% in 2013 and is expected 22% growth in 2014, reaching over $4 billion for this entire segment (this does not include the market for core HRMS and payroll software). The Performance and Succession segment continues to grow the fastest (this is the newest and most rapidly changing part of the market), and Forbes expect recruiting to pick up growth in the next year as new tools enter the market. Companies are desperately implementing new goal and performance management tools and every vendor (including HRMS vendors) now has tools in this space. Thanks to market consolidation last year, Oracle, SAP, and Sum Total are revenue market share leaders by far, but fast-growing vendors ( SuperNovas like CornerstoneOnDemand and Workday) and Fast Growers like Halogen, SilkRoad, Kenexa, Lumesse, PageUp People, PeopleFluent, and Ultimate are growing faster than the market. The HRMS market and Talent Management systems market are being integrated rapidly now. Thanks to vendor consolidation, most buyers are now looking for a toolset which integrates with HRMS and Payroll. HR Tools are perfectly equipped to target this segment with Performance Management and integrated Project Management with time and attendance. According to Forbes, the Talent Management software sector is now well into the 7th year of the integrated talent management marketplace, as a result products are becoming very integrated, with a new focus on mobile solutions, more social features, directory features, and new features for workforce management (time and attendance). Forbes believes the definition of Talent Management Software keeps expanding, so vendors have to keep investing heavily. Mobile tool sets, social learning and recruiting features, candidate relationship management, workforce management tools, and even social recognition are being added to the category. HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) SOFTWARE MARKET FORECAST The HR market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 2.4% reaching $9.2 billion by Despite lack of growth in such traditional segments of the HR software market as payroll, time and attendance, and benefits management, these segments still represent a big and lucrative chunk of the market. The growth in the HR software market is driven by talent management sectors (recruiting, training, performance management/bi, and leadership/succession management) as well as by shift to Software as a Service (SaaS) model. The HR software market went through an unprecedented wave of consolidation in recent years. Forbes analysts forecast the Global Talent Management Software market to grow at a CAGR of % over the period One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the need to streamline HR functions. The Global Talent Management Software market has also been witnessing the increasing popularity of cloud computing technology. The budget constraints for IT, insufficient time to build in-house software, and cost advantages attached to hosted or on-demand software subscriptions are the primary factors responsible for the increased adoption of cloud-based talent management solutions by enterprises. In addition, cloud services do not have overhead costs of space, power, and cooling that are generally incurred with the deployment of traditional in-house talent management solutions. Hence, the growing popularity of cloud computing technology is a recent trend that is expected to auger well for the growth of the market during the forecast period. 24 HR TOOLS PTY LTD INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
