Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or the “ Company") is pleased to provide its quarterly report and Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the period ended 30 September 2024, as it continues to build on its unique technology offering and new strategic focus.

For the quarter, the Company reported cash receipts of $1,116,000, and is the first full quarter without cash receipts from the Company’s VMware Cloud Platform which was sold to Zettagrid Pty Ltd on 1 May 2024. Total revenue for the quarter was $978,298.

Strategic collaboration with 2D Generation and acquisition post quarter end

As announced on 15 July 2024, Adisyn entered into a Collaboration Agreement with 2D Generation Ltd (“2DG”) (together the “companies”) , a semiconductor IP business. During the quarter the companies commenced working together and identified significant opportunities to leverage 2D Generation’s semiconductor solutions and industry relationships to enhance AI1’s offering in its target markets, as well as leverage each other’s business partners to improve market penetration.

On 23 October 2024, Adisyn announced that the Company and 2DG reached indicative terms for the Company to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of 2DG (“Proposed Acquisition”). The indicative terms of the Proposed Acquisition are included in the announcement dated 23 October 2024, and

the Company will provide an update to the market as to the progress of the Proposed Acquisition in the coming days.

The Proposed Acquisition is a critical move forward for Adisyn's services businesses for data centres, managed IT, cybersecurity, and generative AI. The Acquisition will allow Adisyn and 2DG to focus on developing capital-light semiconductor IP solutions for the data centre, cybersecurity, and managed IT business segments rather than competing in the high-capital expenditure (capex) infrastructure space.

2DG is a partner in the European Union's Joint Undertaking, ConnectingChips, which has been specifically formed and funded to fast-track the next generation of semiconductor chips to cope with generative AI's ever-expanding processing requirements, need for speed, and lower power consumption. 2D Generation’s solution has the potential to substantially improve the efficiency of data centres and generative AI solutions, as well a range of other real-world technological applications.

Strategic review implementation

On 9 July 2024, the Company announced the outcomes of a strategic review. The strategic review outcomes focused on implementing board and management enhancements, and identified four primary objectives:

  1. Continue to divest non-core assets

  2. Streamline business with focus on AI and Cybersecurity

  3. Target business development activity towards SME market in the defence industry supply chain

  4. Optimise the Company Structure

During the quarter a number of changes were made to Adisyn’s board and management structure, including:

  • Appointment of Mr Jesse Gane as Chief Technology Officer, who is responsible for developing and delivering technology solutions for both existing and new clients.

  • Justin Thomas transitioned from his executive role effective 9 July 2024 remaining on the board in a non-executive director capacity;

  • Liam Gale resigning from his position as Chief Information Officer effective 31 July 2024; and

  • Jesper Sentow being appointed as the Company’s permanent part-time Chief Financial Officer, from his current role of interim Chief Financial Officer.

On 4 September, the Company announced it had successfully negotiated a surrender of it’s Bibra Lake lease, resulting in approximately $350k in savings per year, net of costs for the lease of the Company’s new corporate office. On 18 October 2024, the Company successfully exited the Bibra Lake lease and

has relocated to a new office in Henderson, Western Australia. The new office is located in the Australian Marine Complex, and nearby the newly announced Commonwealth-owned Defence Precinct (defence.gov.au, October 2024).

As a condition of the surrender of lease, the lessor of the Bibra Lake premises has agreed to indemnify Adisyn against any potential exposure to damages for the Cannontech Technologies Ltd (“Cannontech”) legal matter in the event that Cannontech are successful in their proceedings. Further details can be found in the announced on 4 September 2024.

Miner Hosting Australia

The Company continues to explore options for its non-core Miner Hosting Australia division (ASX: 24 April 2024, 31 July 2024), and is focused on divesting the division to further streamline the existing operations within the Company and realise further shareholder value for the division. All negotiations for the divestment of the Miner Hosting Australia division still remain early-stage discussions and no offer has been received to date.

A Bitcoin halving event occurred in April 2024, resulting in the rewards for Bitcoin mining halving as a result. Following this global event, a number of customers with the Company’s Miner Hosting division decided to not continue their hosting services with the Company as their bitcoin mining operations became unprofitable. During the quarter the Miner Hosting division turned to a loss making position, and experienced a loss of approximately $50k for the quarter. The Company has modified it’s pricing structure for the division in order to improve the cash burn moving forward, however the priority of the Company remains the divestment of the Miner Hosting assets.

The Miner Hosting division along with a number of non-revenue generating assets from the Bibra Lake data centre site are the last remaining non-core assets which the Company intends to divest. While there is no guarantee that the sale of these assets will be successful, Adisyn intends to continue with it’s divestment campaign and will update the market as necessary with the progress of the campaign for the potential sale of these assets.

Cashflow and post quarter capital raising

During the quarter the Company’s net cash used in operating activities increased to $812k, as the Company continued to implement the outcomes of it’s strategic review and incurred a number of one-off costs during the quarter. Included in this result is ~$130k in one-off costs which the Company incurred in relation to the Bibra Lake surrender of lease, decommissioning of the Bibra Lake data centre and other costs associated with the outcomes of the strategic review. This result was further impacted from the Company’s Miner Hosting division moving into a loss making position of ~$50k during the quarter.

With the Company exiting the Bibra Lake lease from 18 October 2024, there is expected to be approximately $350k in savings per year from this initiative alone moving forward. Furthermore, with the appointment of Mr Jesse Gane on 19 August 2024, the Company has considerably increased it’s business development activities over the past 2 months with a strong focus on targeting businesses in the defence industry supply chain.

Capital Raise

On 29 July 2024, the Company announced that it received binding firm commitments from new and existing sophisticated investors to raise $1.518 million through the issue of 46 million new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“Placement Shares”) at an issue price of $0.033 per share. The Placement Shares were issued utilising the Company's existing placement capacity, with 27,500,000 shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 18,500,000 shares issues pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. Allotment of the Placement Shares occurred on 2 August and ranked pari passu with existing AI1 shares on issue.

Post quarter on 23 October 2024, the Company announced that is has received binding commitments from new and existing sophisticated investors to raise $3 million via an equity capital placement, subject to the Company entering into a formal share purchase agreement for the Acquisition. The capital placement will raise $3,000,000 (before costs) through the issue of 60 million new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“New Shares”) at an issue price of $0.05 per share together with 1 free attaching option (exercisable at $0.075 within 3 years of issue) for every 4 shares subscribed for and issued, representing 15,000,000 Placement Options. The New Shares will be issued utilising the Company's existing placement capacity, with 36,351,000 shares issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 23,649,000 shares issues pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The 15,000,000 Placement Options will be issued subject to shareholder approval.

Allotment of the New Shares is expected to occur on or about 3 days after the Company has successfully executed a binding share purchase agreement with 2D Generation.

The Company intends to apply its existing cash reserves and funds raised from the capital placement to advancing it’s existing core businesses, development of the 2D Generation business, costs of the Acquisition and capital raise and working capital.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.7C.3, payments in the June quarter to related parties of approximately $67k included at item 6 in the attached Appendix 4C comprised salaries and fees paid to executive and non-executive directors and their related entities.
