SECOND SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS
1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This is a second Supplementary Prospectus ( Second Supplementary Prospectus ) intended to be read with the replacement prospectus dated 28 May 2018 ( Prospectus ) as modified by the first Supplementary Prospectus dated 14 June 2018 ( First Supplementary Prospectus ) issued by 1414 Degrees Limited ACN 138 803 620 ( Company ). The Prospectus replaced the prospectus dated 30 April 2018 ( Original Prospectus ).
This Second Supplementary Prospectus is dated 13 July 2018 and was lodged with ASIC on that date. Neither ASIC nor ASX takes any responsibility for the contents of this Second Supplementary Prospectus.
This Second Supplementary Prospectus is a 'refresh document' as defined in section 724(3H) of the Corporations Act, as inserted by ASIC Corporations (Minimum Subscription and Quotation Conditions) Instrument 2016/70 ( ASIC Instrument ).
This Second Supplementary Prospectus should be read together with the Prospectus and the First Supplementary Prospectus.
Other than the changes set out in this Second Supplementary Prospectus, all other details in relation to the Prospectus remain unchanged. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Second Supplementary Prospectus and the Prospectus or the First Supplementary Prospectus, the provisions of this Second Supplementary Prospectus will prevail. Unless otherwise indicated, terms defined and used in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Second Supplementary Prospectus.
The Prospectus, the First Supplementary Prospectus and this Second Supplementary Prospectus may be viewed on the Company's website at https://1414degrees.com.au/prospectus/. The Company will send a copy of this Second Supplementary Prospectus to all Applicants who have applied for securities under the Prospectus (as modified by the First Supplementary Prospectus) as at the date of this Second Supplementary Prospectus.
This Second Supplementary Prospectus is important and should be read in its entirety and in conjunction with the Prospectus and the First Supplementary Prospectus. If you do not understand its contents, you should consult your professional advisor.
2 REASON FOR SECOND SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS
Although the Company has received over 1,600 applications for more than $15,000,000, it has not yet achieved the Minimum Subscription funding. However, the Directors are of the view that the key commercial objectives as described in the Prospectus can be satisfied by a lesser subscription amount and have therefore revised and adjusted the Company's business plan over the next 2 years to focus on the installations in commercial sites described in the Prospectus.
If the Company receives sufficient Applications above the Minimum Subscription, the TESS-GRID test cell will be built and tested but aspects of the proposed research and development innovation program, including construction of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device, will be deferred pending completion of the industrial demonstration units.
2.1 Purpose of Document
This Second Supplementary Prospectus has been prepared for the purpose of:
-
(a) reducing the Minimum Subscription for the Offer from 85,714,286 Shares to raise at least $30,000,000 to 35,714,286 Shares to raise at least $12,500,000;
-
(b) reducing the Maximum Subscription for the Offer from 142,857,143 Shares to raise a maximum of $50,000,000 to 71,428,571 Shares to raise a maximum of $25,000,000;
-

In addition, the Company has entered into a Loan Agreement and General Security Deed in relation to the 2018 R&D Loan Facility to assist the Company to meet its short term working capital requirements pending completion of the Offer.

As a result of the reduction in the Minimum Subscription and the Maximum Subscription, the restructure of the Offer to contemplate the grant of the Bonus Loyalty Options, the extension of the Quotation Condition and the Minimum Subscription Condition, and the entry into of the 2018 R&D Loan Facility, the following amendments are made to the Prospectus.

4.5 Section 1 – Investment Overview
(a) Section 1.2 - Overview of the Company’s Business
The subsection 'How does 1414 Degrees generate its income and what are the Company's key costs?' in Section 1.2 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
The first sentence of the 6[th] paragraph in this subsection is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Key costs for the Company over the next 24 months arise from building and installing up to three devices at the characterisation sites.”
(b) Section 1.2 - Overview of the Company’s Business
The subsection ‘ What is the 1414 Degrees business strategy? ’ in Section 1.2 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
The 5[th] paragraph in this subsection is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“The conceptual design of the TESS-GRID and its 1/15th scale test cell will commence following the close of the Offer. Assessment of commercial sites for construction of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device will continue. If the Company achieves the Maximum Subscription as a result of the Offer, the Company will proceed to finalise the designs, build and test the 1/15th scale test cell before proceeding with construction of a 200MWh TESS-GRID device (noting that the Company will require further funding for the construction phase of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device). The Company's business plan contemplates commercialisation of the TESS-GRID within three years of the Offer.”

(c) Section 1.2 - Overview of the Company’s Business
The subsection ‘ What is the 1414 Degrees business strategy? ’ in Section 1.2 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
The first and second sentences of the 6[th] paragraph in this subsection are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

Concurrently, commercial sites for construction of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device will be assessed, but the construction and testing of the 1/15[th] scale test cell and construction of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device will require further funding to be secured.”
(d) Section 1.2 - Overview of the Company’s Business
The subsection ' What is the 1414 Degrees business strategy?' in Section 1.2 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
The last sentence of the 8[th] paragraph in this subsection is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"In June 2018, the Company commenced technical and engineering assessment and review studies for the Austcor Packaging and Pepe's Ducks projects. As a result of these studies, the Company's scope of works for the Pepe's Ducks project has been narrowed to a specific part of the Pepe's Ducks manufacturing plant. The narrowed scope of works, including a reduction in the cost of components and the labour requirements, has allowed the Company to reduce its expected costs for developing the project. The revision of costs for the Pepe's Ducks project is reflected in the use of funds described in Section 4 of this Prospectus."
(e) Section 1.3 - Key Risks
The subsection ' What are the key company specific risks? ' in Section 1.3 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
Numbered paragraph 3 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
" 3. FAILURE TO BUILD AND COMMISSION TESS TECHNOLOGY: There is no assurance that the Company will be able to develop the TESS technology to meet the Company’s operational objectives, and failure to meet such objectives may adversely impact the financial position and operating results of the Company. For example, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in building and commissioning the pilot TESS units at the commercial sites.
The Company is in the process of commencing trials of the TESS technology in operating industries. These trials will be funded by the Company in accordance with the allocation of funds set out in Section 4, and supported by grant funding. As the Company’s products are based on novel technology it is difficult for the Company to predict the time and costs associated with the development and commissioning of the TESS technology and so there is a risk that the allocation of funds set out in Section 4 will be inadequate to enable the Company to meet its business objectives. This risk is increased as a result of the reduction in the Minimum Subscription for the Offer and the associated reduction in funds available to the Company to achieve its business plan. There is an additional risk that the TESS technology may not perform in the same way outside of the Company’s demonstration trials, which may further delay the development and commercialisation of the TESS technology and the Company’s marketing and distribution of the TESS.
As part of the pilot projects, the TESS technology will need to be integrated into a customer's existing facilities at the site, including the use, extraction and application of the heat, which will differ for each customer installation. The Company cannot and does not make any assurance, representation or warranty in relation to the way that the TESS technology may be integrated into a customer's site until such time as an engineering feasibility study has been completed and agreed between the relevant customer and the Company. In the short term, the failure to successfully integrate the TESS devices into customer sites may adversely affect the Company's ability to achieve its business strategy (in particular the ability to generate operating specifications required to support future sales of TESS devices), and as a result, its operational and financial performance. "
(f) Section 1.3 - Key Risks
The subsection ' What are the key company specific risks? ' in Section 1.3 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
Numbered paragraph 5 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Doc ID 571723563/v1
- 8 -
" 5. SHORTAGE OF FUNDING: Investors should be aware that as the Company’s products are based on novel technology which make it difficult for the Company to predict the time and costs associated with the development and commissioning of the TESS technology, there is a risk that the Company may not be able to build and/or commission the pilot TESS projects within the budget contemplated by the allocation of funds set out in Section 4 (as supported by grant funding). In the event that the Company achieves the Maximum Subscription as a result of the Offer, the Company will proceed to finalise the designs, build and test the 1/15th scale test cell for the TESS-GRID, but the Company will require further capital before proceeding with construction of a 200MWh TESS-GRID device. If only the Minimum Subscription is achieved, the Company will require further capital for both the construction and testing of the 1/15th scale test cell for the TESS-GRID, and for the construction and commissioning of the 200MWh device. Given the nature and scale of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device, and the Company's current business plan (which contemplates construction and commissioning of the full 200MWh device within 3 years of the Offer) the Company anticipates it will need to raise significant further funding (whether by way of debt or equity) in the near to medium term to achieve this aspect of its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional funding on favourable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise such additional funding, it will not be in a position to pursue that part of its business plan which relates to the development and commercialisation of the TESS-GRID device. This may have an adverse impact on the Company's operating results in the medium to long term.
In addition, the Company may seek to exploit other opportunities that will require it to raise additional capital from equity or debt markets. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise such additional funding on favourable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its anticipated additional activities, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operations. In addition, the Company's operating results may vary significantly from period to period, and it may not be able to sustain operating profitability. If the Company incurs unexpected costs or is unable to generate sufficient operating income, further funding may be required. The Company may require additional funding to carry out further product development or product improvement. Any additional financing through share issues may dilute shareholdings acquired under this Prospectus. Debt financing may not be available to support the scope and extent of proposed developments. If available, it may impose restrictions on operating activities or anticipated expansion of the Company's operations. "
(g) Section 1.3 - Key Risks
The subsection ' What are the key company specific risks? ' in Section 1.3 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
The following paragraphs are included as a new numbered paragraph 13 after numbered paragraph 12:
" 13. DEBT FACILITY RISK: During the Offer Period, the Company has entered into the 2018 R&D Loan Facility to assist the Company to meet its short term working capital requirements pending completion of the Offer. Prior to entering into the 2018 R&D Loan Facility, the Company had no debt financing in place. The terms of the 2018 R&D Loan Facility are set out in Section 11.1 of this Prospectus.
Under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility, the Company may borrow from the Lender up to $1,600,000, being 80% of the Company's estimated FY17/18 research and development tax rebate (Rebate) from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), which is currently expected to be in the order of $2,000,000. The 2018 R&D Loan Facility provides that the Company must direct the ATO to pay the amount of any Rebate ultimately assessed by the ATO directly to the Lender in repayment of the advanced amount plus any interest accrued. Any excess of the Rebate paid to the Lender over the amount advanced by the Lender to the Company under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility will be refunded by the Lender to the Company. The Lender has agreed to an initial advance of $900,000. The Company expects to receive this initial advance within a short period of the date of the Second Supplementary Prospectus. Further advances up to the maximum facility amount of $1,600,000 will be made available at the Lender's discretion.
If the Company accesses funds under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility in excess of the Rebate ultimately assessed by the ATO, there is a risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash available to repay the outstanding amount while also implementing its business plan. This could cause the Company to seek to raise further funds (whether by way of debt or equity) to meet its repayment obligations and, if this is not possible, could materially
Doc ID 571723563/v1
- 9 -
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operations. The 2018 R&D Loan Facility also contemplates a range of other potential events of default which, if triggered, give the Lender the right to require immediate repayment of any amounts outstanding. Again, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to repay such amounts at the time at which they become due (for example, if the Offer has not yet completed and the Rebate has not yet been assessed by the ATO). The 2018 R&D Loan Facility is secured against the whole of the assets and undertaking of the Company pursuant to the terms of a General Security Deed. If the Company is unable to make any required repayments under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility or otherwise breaches its obligations under that arrangement or the General Security Deed, there is a risk that the Lender will seek to enforce its security and take control of some or all of the assets of the Company to secure repayment of amounts owed to it. Such enforcement action could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operations. "
(h) Section 1.3 - Key Risks
The subsection ' What are the key general risks? ' in Section 1.3 of the Prospectus is amended as follows:
Numbered paragraph 1 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
" 1. LIQUIDITY RISK: Once the Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options are quoted on the ASX, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers of the Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options on the ASX at any given time which may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares.
In addition, the price at which the Bonus Loyalty Options are quoted on the ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors which may cause the Bonus Loyalty Options to trade at prices below the fixed exercise price of the Bonus Loyalty Options or the Share price may fall below the fixed exercise price of the Bonus Loyalty Options (i.e. they may be "out of the money"). This may limit the financial benefit associated with holding the Bonus Loyalty Options. Any unexercised Bonus Loyalty Options will lapse at the end of the exercise period, so you may never realise the benefit of the Bonus Loyalty Options. "

“Upon completion of the Offer, the Company intends to commission and test three of its four key product lines in operating commercial industries, thereby generating product specifications for further sales. In addition, if the Company achieves the Minimum Subscription, it will progress the conceptual designs for a 1/15th scale test cell of its TESSGRID device. In the event that the Company achieves the Maximum Subscription, it will finalise the designs, build and test the 1/15th scale test cell before proceeding with construction of a 200MWh TESS-GRID device (noting that the Company will require further funding for the construction phase of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device). The Company will also assess the large number of sites proposed by potential customers in many countries to determine their priority to generate revenues from sales.”

- “1. Design, test and site selection: The cost for the full project will not be known until the design of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device has been finalised and the feasibility studies for the TESS-GRID device have been conducted on the nominated site. The conceptual design of the 1/15th scale test cell of the 200MWh unit will commence following the close of the Offer. Concurrently, the Company will assess commercial sites for construction of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device.
2. Construction Scenario 1 - Maximum Subscription: In the event of the Maximum Subscription, the Company expects to have access to sufficient funding, through rebates and grants similar to those it currently accesses, to finalise the designs, build and test the 1/15th scale test cell. The Company would need to secure further capital by way of grants, equity, debt, or revenue generated from the commercialisation of its other devices in order to complete construction of the 200MWh TESS-GRID module.
3. Construction Scenario 2 - less than Maximum Subscription: In the event the Company achieves less than the Maximum Subscription, it is anticipated that the Company will have sufficient resources to progress the conceptual design of the 1/15th scale test cell of the 200MWh unit. The Company would need to secure further capital by way of grants, equity, debt, or revenue generated from the commercialisation of its other devices in order to complete construction of the 1/15[th] scale test cell and the 200MWh TESS-GRID module.

It is noted that, as a consequence of the reduction in the Minimum Subscription and Maximum Subscription, the Directors have reduced the funds allocated to the 13.3MWh TESS-GRID test cell, to the development of the TESS-STEAM device, and to the installation at Pepe's Ducks following the completion of the high level technical and engineering assessment and review studies for that project. The Directors do not consider a reduction of $17,500,000 to the Minimum Subscription for the Offer will materially adversely affect the Company's ability to generate revenue in the near term through the commercialisation of its developed product designs, on the basis that its business plan in relation to the TESS-IND and GAS-TESS devices (being the devices from which it expects to generate revenue in the near term) has not materially changed as a result of the reduction.
TESS-GRID and TESS-STEAM
The commercialisation of the TESS-GRID and the TESS-STEAM forms part of the Company’s long-term business strategy, with the Company focusing on the development and commissioning of the TESS-IND and GAS-TESS devices to industrial customers over the next 24 months.
Based on this business strategy, the Company has prioritised the allocation of funds to be raised under the revised Offer towards the commercialisation of its projects at commercial sites ahead of its product development.
On this basis the Company has allocated $100,000 towards the development of its TESSSTEAM (under the Minimum Subscription) or $1,250,000 (under the Maximum Subscription).
The Company has allocated $200,000 towards the conceptual design of a 13.3MWh TESSGRID test cell in the event that the reduced Minimum Subscription is achieved. If the reduced Maximum Subscription is received, the Company has allocated $3,640,000 for the final design, build and test of the 13.3MWh TESS-GRID test cell.
In order to complete the construction of the 200MWh TESS-GRID module, the Company would need to secure further capital by way of grants, equity, debt, or revenue generated from the commercialisation of its other devices.
Pepe's Ducks Project
Following the completion of the high level technical and engineering assessment and review studies for the Pepe’s Ducks project in June 2018, the Company’s scope of works for this project has now been narrowed to a specific part of the Pepe’s Ducks manufacturing plant. A reduction in the cost of components and the labour costs (in terms of both the number of persons required for, and time taken by those persons to complete, the project) associated with the Pepe's Ducks project has allowed the Company to reduce its overall costs for developing the project. Based on the refined scope for the Pepe’s Ducks project, the Company has reduced the capital expenditure for this project from $3,915,000 to $1,500,000.
Summary
Doc ID 571723563/v1
- 20 -
The Directors consider that the Company will have sufficient capital to carry out its stated objectives following completion of the Offer, noting the deferral of material expenditure associated with product development activities for the TESS-GRID and TESS-STEAM devices. The Directors restate that an investment in the Company is speculative and investors are encouraged to read the risk factors outlined in Section 6 of this Prospectus.

TOP 20 SHAREHOLDERS
The Company will announce to the ASX details of its top-20 Shareholders (following completion of the Offer) prior to the Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options commencing trading on the ASX.
4.9 ALLOCATION AND ALLOTMENT OF SHARES
Subject to the Minimum Subscription under the Offer being achieved and the ASX granting approval for quotation of the Shares and the Bonus Loyalty Options on the ASX, the allotment of Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options will occur as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Holding statements will be dispatched as required by the ASX. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options.
Pending the allotment and issue of Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application Monies will be held in trust in a subscription account established and controlled by the Company. The Company will, however, be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the subscription account and you waive the right to claim interest.
Pursuant to the terms of the Mandate Letter with Taylor Collison, the Directors have the authority to allocate up to $20 million in Shares (and, as a result, any associated Bonus Loyalty Options) under the Offer to Applicants from the Pre-Registered List. Taylor Collison will be entitled to allocate (in consultation with the Company) the remaining Shares (and, as a result, any associated Bonus Loyalty Options) to Applicants. Taylor Collison must disclose the identity of the beneficial owners of Applicants who apply for more than $500,000 in Shares and allocation to these Applicants will be at the Directors’ discretion (acting reasonably). The Company reserves the right to reject any Application or allocate Applicants fewer Shares (and, as a result, Bonus Loyalty Options) than that Applicant applied for at its absolute discretion. Regard will be given by the Company and the Lead Manager to the timing of receipt of Applications and Applicants are therefore encouraged to submit their Applications as soon as possible.
Where Applications are rejected or fewer Shares (and, as a result, Bonus Loyalty Options) are allotted than applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. No interest will be paid on any Application Monies refunded.
4.10 BROKERAGE AND HANDLING FEES
No brokerage, commission or stamp duty is payable by Applicants on acquisition of Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options under the Offer.
4.11 - ASX LISTING
It is expected that the Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options issued under this Offer will commence trading on the ASX on a normal settlement basis on or about 29 August 2018.
The Shares are expected to be quoted under the ASX trading code of "14D". The Bonus Loyalty Options are expected to be quoted under the ASX trading code of "14DO".
Within seven days after the date of the Original Prospectus, the Company applied to the ASX for the Company to be admitted to the Official List and for quotation of the Shares on the ASX. The Company intends to apply for quotation of the Bonus Loyalty Options on ASX within seven days of the date of the Second Supplementary Prospectus. If approval for quotation of the Shares and the Bonus Loyalty Options is not granted within three months after the date of the Second Supplementary Prospectus (or any longer period permitted by law), the Company will not allot any Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options pursuant to the Offer and will repay all Application Monies in full without interest as soon as practicable, or the Company will issue a Supplementary or Replacement Prospectus and allow Applicants one month to withdraw their Applications and be repaid their Application Monies in full without interest.
The fact that the ASX may admit the Company to its Official List is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus. The ASX takes no responsibility for this Prospectus or the investment to which it relates. Admission to the Official List and quotation of the Shares on the ASX are not to be taken as an endorsement by the ASX of the Company.
4.12 CHESS AND ISSUER SPONSORSHIP
The Company will participate in CHESS, operated by ASX Settlement, a wholly owned
Doc ID 571723563/v1
- 25 -
subsidiary of the ASX, in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
Under this system, the Company will not issue certificates to investors in relation to their Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options. Instead, investors will receive a statement of their shareholdings and optionholdings in the Company.
If an investor is broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send them CHESS statements. The CHESS statement will set out the number of Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options allotted to the investor under this Prospectus, give details of the investor's Holder Identification Number (HIN) and give the participant identification number of the sponsor.
Alternatively, if an investor is registered on the issuer sponsored sub register, the statement will be dispatched by the Share Registrar and will contain the number of Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options allotted under this Prospectus and the investor's Security Holder Reference Number (SRN).
A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to investors at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their holding changes. An investor may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
4.13 FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS
The Offer does not constitute a public offer in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation.
This Prospectus has been prepared for distribution in Australia and New Zealand. The distribution of this Prospectus (including an electronic copy) in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law, and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on, and observe, any such restrictions. No action has been taken to register or qualify the Shares, the Bonus Loyalty Options or the Offer, or otherwise to permit a public offering of the Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options, in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand.
Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. It is the responsibility of Applicants outside Australia and New Zealand to obtain all necessary approvals for the allotment and issue of the Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options pursuant to this Prospectus. Lodgement of a duly completed Application Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the Applicant that all relevant approvals have been obtained and that there has been no breach of such laws.
If you are resident in countries other than Australia or New Zealand you should consult your professional advisors as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether any other formalities need to be considered and followed.
Important notice to New Zealand investors: This Offer to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporation Regulations 2001 (Cth). In New Zealand, this is subpart 6 of Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.
The Offer and the content of this Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act and the Corporation Regulations 2001 (Cth) set out how the Offer must be made.
There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.
The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.
Both the Australian and New Zealand financial markets regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to the Offer. If you need to make a complaint about the Offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, New Zealand (http://www.fma.govt.nz). The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.
The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products.
Doc ID 571723563/v1
- 26 -
If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the financial products is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the financial products will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.
If you expect the financial products to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.
If the financial products are able to be traded on a financial product market and you wish to trade the financial products through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the financial products on your behalf. If the financial product market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial product markets that operate in New Zealand.
4.14 PRIVACY ACT
The Company and the Share Registrar, on the Company’s behalf, collect, hold and use information about each Applicant from the Application Form for the purposes of processing the Application and, if the Application is successful, to administer the Applicant’s shareholding or optionholding in the Company. The Company is also required under relevant laws to collect some information.
By submitting an Application Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company and/or the Share Registrar may use the information in the Application Form for the purposes set out in this Prospectus and may disclose it or your personal information for those purposes to the Share Registrar, the Company’s related bodies corporate, agents, contractors, third party service providers (including mailing houses), the ASX, ASIC and other regulatory authorities or as otherwise authorised under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as applicable).
If an Applicant becomes a Shareholder, the Corporations Act requires the Company to include information about the Shareholder (name, address and details of the Shares held) in its public registers. This information must remain in the registers even if that person ceases to be a Shareholder. Information contained in the Company’s registers is also used to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications (including the Company’s financial results, annual reports and other information that the Company may wish to communicate to the Shareholders) and compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements. Successful Applicants may request access to their personal information held by (or on behalf of) the Company by telephoning or writing to the Company Secretary.
If you do not provide the information required on the Application Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Application.
4.15 TAXATION CONSEQUENCES
The Australian taxation consequences of any investment in Shares will depend upon an investor's particular circumstances. It is an obligation of investors to make their own enquiries concerning the taxation consequences of an investment in the Company. If you are in any doubt as to the course of action you should take, you should consult your professional advisers.
The issue of Bonus Loyalty Options should not result in any immediate tax implications for investors. As investors will not pay any monetary consideration for the acquisition of the Bonus Loyalty Options, the investor’s cost base should be limited to any incidental and holding costs incurred. However, the cost base of your Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options may require apportionment.
Where Bonus Loyalty Options held by an investor lapse, a CGT event will arise. Given no consideration will be received as a result of the lapse of a Bonus Loyalty Option, a capital loss may arise on the date the Bonus Loyalty Options lapse, equal to any incidental or holding costs incurred to acquire the Bonus Loyalty Options.
Where an investor sells their Bonus Loyalty Options on the ASX a CGT event will arise on the date of sale. A capital gain will arise where the capital proceeds on the disposal of the Bonus Loyalty Options exceed the cost base. The CGT discount should be available to eligible investors where the Bonus Loyalty Options have been held for greater than twelve
Doc ID 571723563/v1
- 27 -
months. A capital loss will arise where the reduced cost base of the Bonus Loyalty Options exceeds the capital proceeds from disposal.
Where an investor exercises the Bonus Loyalty Options and is issued with Shares in the Company the cost base for those Shares will include the amount paid to exercise those Bonus Loyalty Options plus any incidental and holding costs incurred. The Shares will be deemed to be acquired on the day the Bonus Loyalty Options are exercised. No other capital gains event should arise through the exercise of the Bonus Loyalty Option.
4.16 RESTRICTED SECURITIES
Subject to the Company being admitted to the Official List and quotation of the Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options on the ASX, certain Shares on issue prior to the Offer (Escrowed Securities), are likely to be classified by the ASX as restricted securities and will be required to be held in escrow for the period imposed by the ASX under the ASX Listing Rules (Escrow Period).
The restriction agreements to be entered into by the holders of Escrowed Securities which are subject to escrow (Escrowed Shareholders) will be in the form as required by the ASX, and will include standard terms prohibiting the Escrowed Shareholders during the Escrow Period from:
-
disposing of, or agreeing to offer to dispose of, the Escrowed Securities;
-
creating, or agreeing to offer to create, any security interest in the Escrowed Securities;
-
• doing, or omitting to do, any act if the act or omission would have the effect of transferring effective ownership or control of the Escrowed Securities; and
-
participating in a return of capital made by the Company.
The imposition of the Escrow Period is intended to:
-
help to create a stable market for the Shares (by reducing the number of Shares that can be traded immediately after quotation of the Shares on the ASX);
-
prevent the Escrowed Shareholders from selling out of the Company on a large scale within the Escrow Period (which could diminish the value of the Shares); and
-
keep the Escrowed Shareholders interested in the operations and success of the Company.
In addition, John Moss and Wendy Moss in their capacity as trustees for the Moss Retirement Trust (who are not required by ASX to have any of their existing Shares escrowed), have agreed to voluntarily escrow 7,282,312 Shares until 30 June 2020.
The Company will announce to the ASX full details (quantity and duration) of the Shares which will be escrowed (including in respect of Shareholders that have agreed to voluntarily escrow their existing Shares) prior to the Shares commencing trading on the ASX.
4.17 FREE FLOAT
The Company expects that it will have a free float of not less than 20% at the time of its admission to the ASX. “Free float” refers to the percentage of the entity’s main class of securities that:
-
are not restricted securities or subject to voluntary escrow; and
-
are held by non-affiliated security holders.

4.9 Section 6 - Key Risks
(a) Section 6.2 - Company Specific Risks
The information contained in the subsection ' Failure to Build and Commission TESS Technology ' in Section 6.2 of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
" There is no assurance that the Company will be able to develop the TESS technology to meet the Company’s operational objectives, and failure to meet such objectives may adversely impact the financial position and operating results of the Company. For example, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in building and commissioning the pilot TESS units at the commercial sites.
The Company is in the process of commencing trials of the TESS technology in operating industries. These trials will be funded by the Company in accordance with the allocation of funds set out in Section 4, and supported by grant funding. As the Company’s products are based on novel technology it is difficult for the Company to predict the time and costs associated with the development and commissioning of the TESS technology and so there is a risk that the allocation of funds set out in Section 4 will be inadequate to enable the Company to meet its business objectives. This risk is increased as a result of the reduction in the Minimum Subscription for the Offer and the associated reduction in funds available to the Company to achieve its business plan. There is an additional risk that the TESS technology may not perform in the same way outside of the Company’s demonstration trials, which may further delay the development and commercialisation of the TESS technology and the Company’s marketing and distribution of the TESS.
As part of the pilot projects, the TESS technology will need to be integrated into a customer's existing facilities at the site, including the use, extraction and application of the heat, which will differ for each customer installation. The Company cannot and does not make any assurance, representation or warranty in relation to the way that the TESS technology may be integrated into a customer's site until such time as an engineering feasibility study has been completed and agreed between the relevant customer and the Company. In the short term, the failure to successfully integrate the TESS devices into customer sites may adversely affect the Company's ability to achieve its business strategy (in particular the ability to generate operating specifications required to support future sales of TESS devices), and as a result, its operational and financial performance.
To mitigate, the Company has contracted multiple sites such that the successful integration on any one would provide the necessary requirements to advance its business strategy. It has also developed specific quality and risk management systems for the development and integration of the TESS technology and wherever practicable and economic, the Company will utilise insurance to mitigate business risks. The Company has significant engineering expertise with detailed understanding of site integration. "

(b) Section 6.2 - Company Specific Risks
The information contained in the subsection ' Shortage of Funding ' in Section 6.2 of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
" Investors should be aware that as the Company’s products are based on novel technology which make it difficult for the Company to predict the time and costs associated with the development and commissioning of the TESS technology, there is a risk that the Company may not be able to build and/or commission the pilot TESS projects within the budget contemplated by the allocation of funds set out in Section 4 (as supported by grant funding). In the event that the Company achieves the Maximum Subscription as a result of the Offer, the Company will proceed to finalise the designs, build and test the 1/15th scale test cell for the TESS-GRID, but the Company will require further capital before proceeding with construction of a 200MWh TESS-GRID device. If only the Minimum Subscription is achieved, the Company will require further capital for both the construction and testing of the 1/15th scale test cell for the TESS-GRID, and for the construction and commissioning of the 200MWh device. Given the nature and scale of the 200MWh TESS-GRID device, and the Company's current business plan (which contemplates construction and commissioning of the full 200MWh device within 3 years of the Offer) the Company anticipates it will need to raise significant further funding (whether by way of debt or equity) in the near to medium term to achieve this aspect of its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient additional funding on favourable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise such additional funding, it will not be in a position to pursue that part of its business plan which relates to the development and commercialisation of the TESS-GRID device. This may have an adverse impact on the Company's operating results in the medium to long term.
In addition, the Company may seek to exploit other opportunities that will require it to raise additional capital from equity or debt markets. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise such additional funding on favorable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its anticipated additional activities, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operations. In addition, the Company's operating results may vary significantly from period to period, and it may not be able to sustain operating profitability. If the Company incurs unexpected costs or is unable to generate sufficient operating income, further funding may be required. The Company may require additional funding to carry out further product development or product improvement. Any additional financing through share issues may dilute shareholdings acquired under this Prospectus. Debt financing may not be available to support the scope and extent of proposed developments. If available, it may impose restrictions on operating activities or anticipated expansion of the Company's operations. "
(c) Section 6.2 - Company Specific Risks
The following new paragraph is included at the end of the subsection entitled ' Economic Risks ' in Section 6.2 of the Prospectus:
" DEBT FACILITY RISK
During the Offer Period, the Company has entered into the 2018 R&D Loan Facility to assist the Company to meet its short term working capital requirements pending completion of the Offer. Prior to entering into the 2018 R&D Loan Facility, the Company had no debt financing in place. The terms of the 2018 R&D Loan Facility are set out in Section 11.1 of this Prospectus.
Under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility, the Company may borrow from the Lender up to $1,600,000, being 80% of the Company's estimated FY17/18 research and development tax rebate (Rebate) from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), which is currently expected to be in the order of $2,000,000. The 2018 R&D Loan Facility provides that the Company must direct the ATO to pay the amount of any Rebate ultimately assessed by the ATO directly to the Lender in repayment of the advanced amount plus any interest accrued. Any excess of the Rebate paid to the Lender over the amount advanced by the Lender to the Company under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility will be refunded by the Lender to the Company. The Lender has agreed to an initial advance of $900,000. The Company expects to receive this initial advance within a short period of the date of the Second Supplementary Prospectus. Further advances up to the maximum facility amount of $1,600,000 will be made available at the Lender's discretion.
If the Company accesses funds under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility in excess of the Rebate ultimately assessed by the ATO, there is a risk that the Company will not have sufficient
Doc ID 571723563/v1
- 31 -
cash available to repay the outstanding amount while also implementing its business plan. This could cause the Company to seek to raise further funds (whether by way of debt or equity) to meet its repayment obligations and, if this is not possible, could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operations. The 2018 R&D Loan Facility also contemplates a range of other potential events of default which, if triggered, give the Lender the right to require immediate repayment of any amounts outstanding. Again, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to repay such amounts at the time at which they become due (for example, if the Offer has not yet completed and the Rebate has not yet been assessed by the ATO). The 2018 R&D Loan Facility is secured against the whole of the assets and undertaking of the Company pursuant to the terms of a General Security Deed. If the Company is unable to make any required repayments under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility or otherwise breaches its obligations under that arrangement or the General Security Deed, there is a risk that the Lender will seek to enforce its security and take control of some or all of the assets of the Company to secure repayment of amounts owed to it. Such enforcement action could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operations. "
(d) Section 6.3 - General Company Risks
The information contained in the subsection 'Liquidity Risk' in Section 6.3 of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market in the Shares. Once the Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options are quoted on the ASX, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers of the Shares or Bonus Loyalty Options on the ASX at any given time which may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price that Shareholders paid for their Shares under the public offer.
In addition, the price at which the Bonus Loyalty Options are quoted on the ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors which may cause the Bonus Loyalty Options to trade at prices below the fixed exercise price of the Bonus Loyalty Options or the Share price may fall below the fixed exercise price of the Bonus Loyalty Options (i.e. they may be "out of the money"). This may limit the financial benefit associated with holding the Bonus Loyalty Options. Any unexercised Bonus Loyalty Options will lapse at the end of the exercise period, so you may never realise the benefit of the Bonus Loyalty Options."

- (a) Section 7.3 - Pro-forma Financial Information
The third and fourth paragraphs in Section 7.3 of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"To allow the Company to obtain advanced access to the funds expected to be received under its FY17/18 research and development tax rebate from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for the purpose of assisting the Company to meet its short term working capital requirements, the Company has entered into a Loan Agreement and General Security Deed with Rocking Horse Nominees Pty Ltd (ACN 608 184 916) as trustee for the Rocking Horse Unit Trust (ABN 31 577 512 901) (Lender) (2018 R&D Loan Facility).
Pursuant to the 2018 R&D Loan Facility, the Company may borrow from the Lender up to $1,600,000, being 80% of the Company's estimated FY17/18 research and development tax rebate from the ATO (Rebate), which is currently expected to be in the order of $2,000,000. The 2018 R&D Loan Facility provides that the Company must direct the ATO to pay the amount of any Rebate ultimately assessed by the ATO directly to the Lender in repayment of the advanced amount plus any interest accrued. Any excess of the Rebate paid to the Lender over the amount advanced by the Lender to the Company under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility will be refunded by the Lender to the Company.
The Lender has agreed to an initial advance of $900,000 which will be payable to the Company following the provision of all documents required to be supplied to the Lender, and satisfaction of certain conditions precedent specified by the Lender.

Interest is added to the amount owed by the Company to the Lender under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility to the extent that interest is not paid by the Company at the time of its calculation. The total amount owed to the Lender by the Company under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility (including all interest accrued) must be repaid by the Company on or before the earlier of:
1. 21 Business Days after the notice of assessment is issued by the ATO to the Company for the financial year in respect of which the advance is made (being FY17/18); and
2. the date on which an event of default occurs under the Loan Agreement (including the failure to pay amounts owed under the 2018 R&D Loan Facility on time, and the occurrence of an insolvency event in respect of the Company); and

or threatened against the Company.
Climate Change Technologies Pty Ltd (CCT) lodged Australian Patent Application No 2012292959 (959 Application) in relation to an invention titled “Thermal Energy Storage Apparatus”. 1414 Degrees opposed the 959 Application. 1414 Degrees claims that it, and not CCT, is entitled to ownership of the 959 Application. On 1 May 2018, IP Australia issued a decision of a Delegate of the Commissioner of Patents concluding that the 959 Application should proceed jointly in the names of CCT and 1414 Degrees (for full facts and details see 1414 Degrees Limited v Climate Change Technologies Pty Ltd [2018] APO 28 dated 1 May 2018) (the Decision). On 18 May 2018, CCT filed a Notice of Appeal in Federal Court of Australia proceeding VID587/2018 (the Appeal), challenging the conclusion of the Decision, and seeking orders that the 959 Application proceed only in the name of CCT. 1414 Degrees is contesting the Appeal, and intends to pursue a cross-appeal that it should have sole, not joint, ownership of the 959 Application.
The intention and ability of 1414 Degrees to pursue the designs, methodologies, and technology of its TESS that it is currently developing, do not depend on the outcome of the Appeal. 1414 Degrees has opposed the 959 Application, and contests the Appeal, because it considers the “Thermal Energy Storage Apparatus” of the 959 Application comprise precursor technology and intellectual property to which 1414 Degrees is entitled, and it seeks to avoid technology and intellectual property to which it believes it is entitled, being claimed or used by third parties . ”
(e) Section 12.7A - ASIC Relief
A new Section 12.7A be inserted immediately after Section 12.7 'Legal Proceedings' as follows:
" 12.7A ASIC RELIEF
The Company has been granted relief by ASIC from the application of subsection 723(1) of the Corporations Act in relation to the requirement for Existing Applicants to submit an application in relation to the grant of Bonus Loyalty Options. Subsection 723(1) of the Corporations Act provides that where an offer of securities requires a disclosure document, the securities may only be issued or transferred in response to an application form. The Company will comply with subsection 723(1) of the Corporations Act in respect of Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options issued to Applicants who apply for Shares and Bonus Loyalty Options after the date of the Second Supplementary Prospectus, as any Applicant who wishes to apply for Shares under the Offer after the date of the Second Supplementary Prospectus will be required to submit an Application Form, which document contemplates the grant of the Bonus Loyalty Options.
However, the Existing Applicants have already submitted an Application using the application form that accompanied either the Prospectus or the First Supplementary Prospectus. Those application forms did not contemplate the grant of the Bonus Loyalty Options. To avoid the undue administrative burden associated with requiring Existing Applicants to lodge a separate application form in respect of the Bonus Loyalty Options to which they are automatically entitled under the Offer, the Company sought and was granted relief by ASIC from the application of subsection 723(1). Existing Applicants do not need to take any additional action to receive their allocation of Bonus Loyalty Options ."
4.14 Section 13 - Definitions
Section 13 of the Prospectus is amended by:
(a) deleting the following definitions in their entirety and replacing them with the following:
" Application means a valid application to subscribe for Shares (and, as a result, Bonus Loyalty Options) under this Prospectus. "
" Application Form means the application form attached to the Second Supplementary Prospectus. "
" Maximum Subscription means $25,000,000 or 71,428,571 Shares. "
" Minimum Subscription means $12,500,000 or 35,714,286 Shares. "
" Offer means the invitation to apply for Shares (and, as a result, Bonus Loyalty Options) pursuant to this Prospectus ."

Dear Directors
INDEPENDENT LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PRO FORMA HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introduction
BDO Advisory (SA) Pty Ltd (BDO) has been engaged by 1414 Degrees Limited (1414 Degrees or the Company) to report on the Historical and Pro-Forma Financial Information of 1414 Degrees for inclusion in the Second Supplementary Prospectus dated on or about 13 July 2018 and relating to the offer by the Company of a minimum of 35,714,286 Shares at $0.35 per Share to raise a minimum of $12,500,000 and a maximum of 71,428,571 Shares to investors at $0.35 per Share to raise a maximum of $25,000,000 and the offer of up to 17,857,143 Bonus Loyalty Options (Second Supplementary Prospectus).
Unless stated otherwise in this Report, expressions defined in the Second Supplementary Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.
This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Second Supplementary Prospectus. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the Financial Information to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
Scope
Historical Financial Information
You have requested BDO to review the following historical financial information included in section 7 of the Prospectus:
-
the audited Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the financial years ended 30 June 2016 (FY16), 30 June 2017 (FY17) and reviewed for the period ended 31 December 2017 (HYDec17) of 1414 Degrees;
-
the audited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for FY16, FY17 and reviewed for HYDec17 of 1414 Degrees; and
-
the audited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow for FY16, FY17 and reviewed for HYDec17 of 1414 Degrees.
Hereafter referred to as “the Historical Financial Information”.
BDO Advisory (SA) Pty Ltd ABN 74 161 378 892 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Advisory (SA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation, other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees.
==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards and the company’s adopted accounting policies.
The Historical Financial Information of 1414 Degrees has been extracted from the financial statements of 1414 Degrees for FY15, FY16 and HYDec17, which was audited or reviewed (HYDec17) by BDO Audit (SA) Pty Ltd in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards. BDO Audit (SA) Pty Ltd issued an unmodified opinion on the financial reports.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in the Second Supplementary Prospectus in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested BDO to review the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for HYDec17 of 1414 Degrees included in the Second Supplementary Prospectus being the Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2017 showing the impact of the pro-forma adjustments as if they had occurred at 31 December 2017.
Hereafter referred to as “the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information”.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been derived from the historical financial information of 1414 Degrees, after adjusting for the effects of pro-forma adjustments described in section 7.3 of the Second Supplementary Prospectus. The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles contained in Australian Accounting Standards applied to the Historical Financial Information and the events or transactions to which the pro-forma adjustments relate, as described in section 7.1 of the Prospectus, as if those events or transactions had occurred as at the date of the Historical Financial Information. Due to its nature, the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information does not represent the Company’s actual or prospective financial position.
Directors’ Responsibility
The directors of 1414 Degrees are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information and the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information, including the selection and determination of the Pro-Forma Adjustments made to the Historical Financial information and included in the Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information. This includes responsibility for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information and Pro-Forma Historical Financial Information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the Historical Financial Information and Pro Forma Historical Financial Information based on the procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained.
We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagements ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information.

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
A review consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain reasonable assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Our engagement did not involve updating or re-issuing any previously issued audit or review report on any financial information used as a source of the financial information.
Conclusion
Historical Financial Information
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Historical Financial Information, as described in section 7.4 of the Prospectus, and comprising:
-
the audited Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the financial years ended 30 June 2016 (FY16), 30 June 2017 (FY17) and reviewed for the period ended 31 December 2017 (HYDec17) of 1414 Degrees;
-
the audited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for FY16, FY17 and reviewed for HYDec17 of 1414 Degrees; and
-
the audited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow for FY16, FY17 and reviewed for HYDec17 of 1414 Degrees.
are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation, as described in section 7.1 of the Prospectus.
Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pro-Forma Historical Information, as described in section 7.4, 7.5 and 7.8 of the Prospectus and Second Supplementary Prospectus, and comprising the Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2017 showing the impact of Pro-Forma Adjustments as if they occurred at 31 December 2017, are not presented fairly in all material respects, in accordance with the stated basis of preparation as described in section 7.1 of the Prospectus.
Restrictions on Use
Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to section 7.3 of the Prospectus and Second Supplementary Prospectus, which describes the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Second Supplementary Prospectus. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.
Consent
BDO has consented to the inclusion of this independent limited assurance report in the Second Supplementary Prospectus in the form and context in which it is included.
Liability
The liability of BDO is limited to the inclusion of this report in the Second Supplementary Prospectus. BDO makes no representation regarding, and takes no responsibility for, any other statements, or material in, or omissions from, the Second Supplementary Prospectus.

Subsequent Events
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of this Report and the information provided by the Directors, to the best of our knowledge and belief no material transaction or event outside of the ordinary business of 1414 Degrees not described in the Second Supplementary Prospectus, has come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.
General Advice Warning
This Report has been prepared, and included in the Second Supplementary Prospectus, to provide investors with general information only and does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any specific investor. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice and potential investors should not make specific investment decisions in reliance on information contained in this Report. Before acting or relying on any information, an investor should consider whether it is appropriate for their circumstances having regard to their objectives, financial situation or needs.
Independence or Disclosure of Interest
BDO is a member of BDO International Ltd. BDO does not have any interest in the outcome of the proposed listing, or any other interest that could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting its ability to give an unbiased conclusion in this matter. BDO will receive normal professional fees for the preparation of this report.
