JLo - we only recently learnt this week (very late Feb 2020) about the NSX partnership and partial acquisition and we all know the last quarter of 2019, for ISX, was also affected cost-wise by implementing a new range of Tier 1 services which could only be alluded to in Dec/Jan 2020. One reason given for the Tier 1 upgrade had been so that ISX did not need to rely on imperfections inherent in the major 4 banks' transaction networks. Source: ASX announcements and ISX investors emails (the ISX investor emails are always repeated in full on the ISX HC forum by some posters). There is/are at least one or more Dec 2019 ASX ISX announcement/s in relation to increased costs. The ISX/NSX integration would cost the company last quarter (other prior quarters) due to expanding the technology and user interface and merchant based services and also in part for patent fees, updated licensing applications and perhaps associated legal review/fees etc...and also these costs could extend into this quarter to 31 March 2020 and possibly beyond until implementation/integration and actual transactional trading has been achieved ... HOWEVER - until the NSX/NSXA/ISA/Probanx agreement was signed, approved, formalised and announced on ASX's own platform, ISX would not have been in a position to reveal the intent/costs/purpose of the increased expenditure in the months prior to this event. Not sure I have understood the content or intent or commentary of your recent post correctly . Many of us would understand and accept there would and will or could be an increased level of costs given the outlay required to see the NSX/ISX collaboration to fruition. The annual report we have seen published today is for the period concluding 31 December 2019. Would you care to explain your post in more detail? If not, it doesn't matter as I know there are other long term shareholders who are positive/happy re the new ISX/NSX venture and many of us realise why we could not be advised earlier of the intention/increased costs. I notice you did not post any HC comments re the NSX/ISX collaboration when it was announced...

Considering they are being investigated for disclosure, maybe they should have been a bit clearer as to what was going to be excluded from their EBIT calculation, considering it is not what many would consider to be EBIT. I think we should expect growth to have stalled, which will not help the SP if/when the suspension ends.
